Big Brother 10, First Live Eviction Episode

Here we are again! Tonight I’m fortified with this strange blue fizzy concoction called “Mystiq”, which is made up of vodka, cognac, and fruit juices. And blue dye, I’m assuming. Yummy. Slightly sweet, slightly girly, but very yummy. Now that I have my drink and my laptop, let’s settle in and watch Big Brother, shall we?

Previously, on Big Brother 10 … well, y’all remember what happened last night, right? Ooh, cute dress Julie! And there’s the live audience. I don’t see any signs anywhere though. Rats. I still think Brian’s adorable; too bad he turned out to be not so bright. Who will be evicted, Brian or Renny> And who will become the new HoH? One of those questions has an obvious answer.

Theme music and intro. They should have brought back the old theme for this whole “back to basics” thing.

Fun to watch Julie do her thing in front of the audience. We’re at the veto ceremony in black and white. Dramatic music and … we’re in technicolour. Brian DRs that Jerry sold him down the river, and Dan laments that his alliance went down in flames. Jerry tells us he has to sacrifice Brian to save himself.

Brian sits down with Jerry to get the details, and finds out that Ollie led the charge. Poor Jerry, he’s really taking this all very seriously.

Dan tells Brian he had no clue. Brian says he knows, and they’re both shocked that Ollie flipped. Hee, Dan says he thought Brian would have flipped before Ollie. Dan and Brian confront Ollie, he says that April, Libra, and Keesha backed him into a corner. And then we get the “obviously it’s a game” speech from Ollie. Dan says he wouldn’t sacrifice his word, and Ollie calls him out on it. Yeah, I don’t believe him either Ollie.

Duh. Dan thinks that April and Ollie masterminded the whole thing. That works out well for Libra though, doesn’t it?

Oh great, now we have Ollie and April smooching and telling each other how nice their lips are. Then Ollie DRs that he doesn’t want to be “that guy.” April says that Ollie is a great guy, but she’s a stronger player.

April, Keesha, and Libra solidify their alliance. April says that Brian’s probably thinking that “those girls think they rule the house.” Cut to Brian telling us that he has to get the girls against each other. Heh. Brian also says that he respects Steven for not being amongst the mob that went to Jerry. Which is only because Steven was sitting outside with Brian and Dan at the time and didn’t know what was going on, but whatever. Steve DRs that he wants to help Brian stay in the house because they get along well and have the same sense of humour.

Yay, sock puppet time! I covered this in the feed recap already, but basically Memphis the bartender, Brian, Dan, Steven, and Angie made sock puppets and acted out the live eviction ceremony outside in the backyard. Hilarious. If you missed it, go look it up on YouTube. Seriously.

April and Libra are in the kitchen getting pissed off at Angie. Steven says that it really sucks that Brian has to leave. They all try to figure out if there’s any way to get it to work out, and Brian insists that Memphis the bartender is the vote they need. But good luck with that when he knows you planned to go after her next.

Angie approaches Keesha with “Can I be confidential with you?” Gah. She pitches the “keep Brian” thing, saying that eliminating Renny would eliminate the drama in the house. Libra and April are once again in the kitchen getting pissed off. This evolves into a big fight in the backyard between the blondes, which I have to tell you was heavily edited. Meanwhile, Brian is trying to convince Jerry that he has the votes and Jerry might have to break a tie.

Now Julie is on the big screen as the hamsters are assembled in the living room. She tells them that they’re going back to a tradition from Big Brother 1, and I’m sure Jerry is wondering if they’re going to get chickens. Because he’s the only one who will have any clue what Julie’s talking about. “We will be joined every eviction night right here outside the house by a live audience of Big Brother fanatics.” The audience cheers while I question the whole “fanatic” thing. Was that a requirement? I thought you just had to order tickets online.

Julie asks Jessie if he and Renny have buried the hatchet. This oughtta be good. “Um, in my eyes you’ve gotta give respect to get respect, and she hasn’t shown any.” Oh please. Renny says that he has a lot to learn about life, and hopefully he will learn from this experience. But it’s still a game, and he should learn from what he says. Over to Libra now. “What kind of mother would leave her children to go on Big Brother?” She says that everyone’s life is different, the choice is her own, and her family is supportive. As long as she has them in her corner, she feels as if she can do anything. Good for you, Libra!

Now we talk to Jerry from the HoH room. Julie asks if he regrets being put in this position. Jerry says no, there’s nothing he can do because it’s a game. He’s trying to make the best of it, even though there have been some nightmares along the way. How hard was it to betray Brian? Very difficult, he points out that he wasn’t wearing anything related to the military at the time again. He says that he feels very fortunate because of the angels - the girls look after him. Aw.

Voting time - whee! Renny looks awesome. She says she’s been on the block for eight days now, but she’s taken the initial shock and has earned their respect by toning it down a little. Brian says he’s decided to just let everyone know that these have been some of the most fun days he’s had in a long time, and he appreciates it. He adds that everything here is a game, so let’s not take anything personally. Good advice - let’s see if he takes it himself.

Now we have to sit through ten live votes. Ugh. April votes for Brian, and so does Libra. Julie is counting nails in Brian’s coffin. Michelle votes for … Brian. More votes for Brian: Ollie … oh, we’re going to break for a commercial. Odd. We’re back, and the votes just keep on coming. Dan tells “Mrs. Chen” that she looks “very beautiful” tonight. Ugh. He votes for Renny. Jessie votes to evict Brian. So does Keesha. And Memphis the bartender. And Steven, while rolling his eyes. Angie also votes for Brian. Are we done now? Yep. Brian’s toast. He hugs most of them, says goodbye, and that’s that.

The live audience cheers as Brian walks out of the house. Angie’s tearing up inside and they’re all watching the black and white picture on the memory wall. Dan looks like he just watched his puppy get hit by a truck.

Julie asks Brian what happened? Brian says he was building an army without realizing that there wasn’t anyone on the other side. He adds that it was just too quick, and he got ahead of himself. Julie wants to know if Dan will survive, and Brian hopes so. He points out that Dan was one guy in the house who never faltered, but he feels Dan won’t let himself do what he needs to do to win. Goodbye messages. Keesha says that his arrogance was his downfall. Jerry says it’s a shame that someone Brian tried to include in his own plans put him out the door. Which brings us to Ollie, who says “that’s how the cookie crumbles.” Hee. Steven says that he’ll miss Brian. Dan gets all soppy and says that he looked to Brian as his big brother (oh, how cute), and that he’s never had someone that looked out for him, and he’s sad to see him go. Julie wants to know who the most underestimated player is, and Brian thinks it’s Memphis the bartender. And that’s all for Brian.

HoH comp time, and look, they’re in booths. Go figure. The power is up for grabs. One way to get far in BB is to be with the “in” crowd. Same things goes for this comp. They have to answer questions how they think the majority of the group will respond. Final question will be a tiebreaker. And we’re off.

“Who does the majority think is more likely to commission a life-sized portrait of himself, Brian, or Jessie?” Majority says Jessie, Memphis the bartender is out.

“Who would the majority trust as their fashion consultant, Renny or April?” Majority says April, Renny and Keesha are out. Hee.

“Who would the majority rather see wear nothing but a bikini for the summer, Angie or Keesha?” Majority says Keesha. Michelle, Dan, and April are out.

“Whose life story in 50 years would the majority find more interesting to read, Memphis the bartender or Dan?” Everyone says Memphis the bartender.

“In the “Sweet Dreams Honey” comp, who does the majority think wore the honey best, Jerry or Jessie?” Majority says Jessie, Angie is out.

“Who does the majority think is vain enough to think they will be the majority’s answer for this question, Libra or Steven?” Everyone says Steven.

“Who does the majority think would convert to another religion to satisfy their partner, Dan or Ollie?” Everyone says Ollie.

“Who does the majority think is most likely to never get divorced, Michelle or Memphis the bartender?” Split decision, time for the tie breaker. Libra, Steven, Ollie, and Jessie are still in it.

“At the start of the Sweet Dreams Honey comp, how many total pillows were on the giant bed?”

Libra: 147
Ollie: 550
Jessie: 200
Steven: 124

The answer is 300, so Jessie and his physique are the new HoH. Interesting. He picks up April for some reason, and hugs Libra and Michelle as we go to commercial.

The show’s over, and the live audience really did nothing at all. That’s kind of disappointing. Not altogether unexpected, but still, we had high hopes. Fortunately the cast and the game itself are still enough to keep us watching!

Big Brother 10 Live Feeds, July 15th - Keesha and the “Little Barbie Bitch”

Keesha’s Emotional Status: Keesha spends the early part of the day crying because she’s bloated and can’t go to the bathroom since she was on the slop. She’s asked for some fiber. April apparently has or had similar problems as she says she had surgery to help her “go.” Keesha also complains about a rash on her arms and is told by many to go to the DR and ask for some Benadryl. She’s also worried that she didn’t set her MySpace profile to private before she left. Anyone with a MySpace, head there and deluge her. Why would you even mention it on the feeds if you were worried about it? April has similar concerns and thinks her friends will give out her phone number.

Topic of the Day: Angie tells Brian if there was any way to save him, she would. He understands everyone has to do what they have to do right now, but he points out if it had been any later in the game, and she, Steven, or Dan had turned on him, he’d be really upset. In other words, Angie, he’s still pissed that you’re not doing more to help him, but he doesn’t want to come right out and say it.

Over a chess game, Brian talks to Dan about possibly getting Jerry to break the tie in his favor, then concentrates on next week, assuming he’ll be gone. He tells Dan if he wins HoH, he needs to put up Libra, April, or Ollie to break them up. That’s exactly what I thought would happen. No one going to bother with the “targeted 4,” as they’re going to start picking each other off first.

Angie and Steven also discuss the possibilities of keeping Brian. She thinks if they can get Memphis and Keesha, they’re as good as gold. Memphis has already told Steven “no way” though. Angie will try to talk to him and Steven will try to talk to Keesha. They’re working on putting together a new alliance, not happy with their old one. This is too much in the first week, people! Later, she tells Michelle she wants Libra to be voted out over something that happened with the HoH camera. Michelle implores her to stick to the plan of getting “the 4″ out.

Memphis and Jessie talk, and while Memphis wants Dan to be the next out of the four, Jessie says he’s like to see Jerry stay in preference of Steven. They finally agree Dan will be next, followed by Renny, and that they should start working the girls in the house. Neither cares if Angie stays or leaves.

Angie works on Keesha by first bonding on their dislike of April and the way she struts around the place in her heels, and then Angie mentions possibly keeping Brian, and after they go into the DR to discuss it, Libra and April get very upset. When they come back out of the DR, Angie goes up to Steven and tells him she’s “got Keesha.”

Keesha talks about the plan to April and Libra, and when she mentions using the HoH bathroom to use an enema, April thinks she wants to talk to Jerry about changing the vote, and she attacks Keesha. April runs inside, and Jerry just wants everyone to settle down. Keesha calls April the “little Barbie Bitch,” and wants Ollie to play messenger between the two, but he refuses. April is inside with Libra and Renny crying, telling them that Keesha has turned, which isn’t happy news to Renny. April is afraid she’ll be thrown out of the game for the attack. Libra attempts to be the peacemaker, going to talk Keesha, and almost seems like she might be switching sides.

The guys get into it as well, as Brian tells Jerry to be prepared, and Jessie asks Steven if he’s turned. Steven doesn’t want to answer, calling it a private vote, and Ollie points out that they’re adults and shouldn’t be talking behind each other’s backs, and that’s what all this comes down to.

Michelle seems to be worried it will come down to a tie, so to be sure Jerry is still on the side of getting rid of Brian, she talks to him telling him that this fight is all Brian’s fault, as he’s getting everyone paranoid. Jessie joins in, and he wants to blame it all on Angie for starting this. They apparently have their own list of people to get out, and want to target Steven, Renny, and Dan. Jerry thinks Steven should go first, as he’s the biggest flip flopper.

After Keesha takes care of business with an enema, Jerry gets her and April to hug and patch things up. Angie talks to Steven, wanting him to get HoH and put Libra and April on the block. I guess that’s how we settle things on BB. Keesha talks to Libra and Renny, telling them they should watch out for Michelle. Michelle and Jessie talk and think Dan, Steven, and Angie need to be the next ones to leave.

Best at Taking a Joke: Angie does the puppet show from last night for Ollie, although sans socks on her hands. Ollie, one of those featured, thinks it’s hysterical and wants to participate the next time they do a show. Although, admittedly, she was showing him the eviction ceremony of Brian and Renny, and it didn’t seem like she was showing him the parts with him and April. Although, it was hard for me to give it my complete undivided attention as Carrie and I were on the air with our radio show at the time. They want to work in some stuff next time about Jerry, who obviously isn’t on their list of favorite HGs at the moment.

Fun Stuff: Angie shows Steven how to play leap frog in the kitchen, and once she stands behind him while he’s bent over, he suddenly recognizes the position and the game. They fall on the floor laughing and doing a few full turns of this, then Steven starts pulling tape off the bottom of the dining room table. They laugh again and in a Big Brother voice say, “Please stop pulling random pieces of tape off the table.”

Michelle talks of her mother being extremely superstitious, and as they all eat watermelon, she says a popular Portuguese superstition is that you can’t eat watermelon and drink wine at the same time, or else you will die. Meanwhile, Steven, Brian, and Memphis sit outside telling racist jokes.

This group doesn’t seem to be nearly as exhibitionist as the last. Steven gets upset about the camera crew following him around when he gets out of the shower, and calls them perverts. We also get a quick peak at Little Steven.

The ever-present BB kitchen ants have moved to the backyard. Apparently they’re loving the honey from the PoV.

Apparently to keep his great physique, Jessie eats every two hours.

Instead of a puppet show, tonight we have relay races. There’s something going on with holding a ball and spinning, and garbage bags are brought out for sack races. Michelle cheated by trying to run instead of hop and ripped her bag. Honestly, games are the smartest thing for them to do early on in the season. How they play these other games is how they’ll play the big game. If they were all paying attention, Michelle just exposed a lot. After Libra is declared the winner, they line up for a 3-legged race, followed by a wheelbarrow race.

Still Too Early: Just to keep the trend going of the HGs utilizing strategy and doing things in this game way too early, they’re already arguing about dishes. Michelle doesn’t think Jessie or Steven do them enough. This is right after some of the other girls were talking about how lucky they were to have their own personal trainer there in Jessie. Maybe everyone has a thing to do in the house, and everyone don’t always have to everything. Just a thought. She resolves it by saying it’s getting too close to her “girl time,” prompting Steven to suggest they lock all the girls in the SR when their cycles streamline and happen at the same time.

IMDB Check: Michelle claims to have been an extra in a film called Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with Matthew McConaughay and Jennifer Garner. Keesha claims she was in 3000 Miles to Graceland and will be in a new movie called The Fear Chamber.

TMI: Keesha, before her enema, gets suppository insertion advice from Jerry.

Shot at Fleeting Fame: Keesha wants to be a soap opera star when she gets out of the house. Sure, not a problem. Ask Amber and Natalie how their dreams panned out.

Quote of the Day: Jessie to Brian about Julie Chen, “She’s maried to some producer or somebody. I think a director; hes a nobody though. Thats why she kept her last name.” I’m sure the President and CEO of CBS will be very happy to hear this.

My Thoughts: It’ll be interesting to see how this all pans out tonight. I can’t see them flipping the vote after all that went down with the fight. I think Brian will leave tonight, and the direction the house takes will depend on who wins HoH, since we have so many breakdowns in alliances at this point. Either way, no matter which alliance faction wins HoH, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the super-charged energy around here. After all, these people that are “opposites” were placed here for a reason.
