Big Brother Live Feeds, July 19th - Golly, Ollie!

First Game Talk of the Day: The talk today continues to be about the veto and if Michelle should use it, and on and with whom. Libra and Keesha get up before everyone else trying to figure out the alliances, and pretty much figure out Jessie’s alliance. Keesha still can’t figure out, though, why Dan and Steven are the targets when Angie was the one that tried to save Brian, and she continues to walk around without a care in the world. Apparently someone hasn’t clued her in that there’s an order of when people are supposed to leave the house, but that order isn’t being followed as people continue to get more paranoid.

Today’s Fight: Jerry and Libra get into an argument over what she said after the food comp. Even though it’s a few days later, he has found out about her talking about losing because of the “two slow and old people,” which gets Renny into it with Libra as well. Libra claims she didn’t say anything like that and for the first time this season suggests they replay the tapes. Yet another person that for some reason thinks that when the feeds are shown they’re edited to support their crazy ideas. Eventually Libra admits to saying this and tries to smooth it over, saying she just wants the teams more balanced.

After Jerry and Renny leave, Libra talks about Jerry’s motives to April and Ollie, saying his role is to play the good guy, but when he can get in there and mix it up, he does. She’s glad it all happened though, as now he knows not to mess with her. Libra also talks about Michelle, mentioning they should be careful about whatever they say around her, as she goes straight upstairs and spills it all to Jessie. April and Libra decide they need to be careful as they’re going to become targeted now because of their relationship. Shortly after, Libra ends up alone and crying, and Jerry comes up, patting her on the back, telling her he will never have a personal bad feeling about her. It’s interesting that he’s basically letting her know he’s a game player.

Renny and Keesha come in to talk to Libra, and somehow she’s painting herself as the victim in all this. Renny mentions her belief that Jerry has been after her since day one. She also notes that he had been talking about a need to stir up the house. Michelle also comes in to comfort the victim.

Later on in the backyard, Libra is blaming the fight on Renny when talking to Jessie, saying it all makes her mad, as she was determined to come in the house and not be the angry black woman. Libra keeps the subject on Renny, saying she started crap with Keesha and is now doing it to her. so now Renny started it instead of Jerry? They spend some time talking about the tier of people to be evicted, and Libra says she thought the original four had somehow changed to now include Angie, so she was confused when she wasn’t nominated.

Keesha, April, Ollie, and Steven talk, and it’s interesting that they realize Libra is doing nothing but planting seeds. They all talk about how much Libra bugs them … sorry, random flashbacks of summer camp for me on that one … Steven can’t understand why everyone is focused on getting him or Dan out when there are people like Libra in the house that no one can stand. Steven knows he’s a really fun guy to be around, and this just happens to be after he went streaking around with pillows covering the same things he covers up first thing in the morning.

Fun Stuff: April spent her 30th birthday on house arrest for a DUI.

Steven notes it’s a fallacy that all the good looking guys are gay. Jerry says everyone always asks him what he things of gay people, and says he just doesn’t. He doesn’t think of Steven as gay, but just Steven. Steven replies that’s all he can ask for, and Jerry quips that’s all he’s getting.

Jerry had bypass surgery when he was 64, and that’s one reason why he keeps in shape. A little later, he’s running in the backyard, and Jessie notes many people Jerry’s age can’t even walk.

Ollie talks about his religion, saying they’re Pentecostal. His mom can’t wear pants or makeup.

Jessie tells Michelle he’s single, even though he’s dating a girl back home. He tells her he doesn’t put girls first. Go get him, Girls! What a catch! This is said while she’s giving him a pedicure.

While Ollie and April are doing … who knows … under a blanket in the spa room, Jerry sits and talks to them from the massage chair. Jerry leaves to go to bed, giving up on them apparently, and they seem to get really down to business. We can hear breathing, kissing, moaning, and see lots of movement under the covers. After, she emerges from the blanket and says it felt really good, while he mentions a need to wash the blanket. They both agree that was something they said they’d never do while on the show. I’m sure his Pentecostal preacher dad loved the show, as well as his mom with no makeup and ever-present skirt/dress. April tells him she wants to do this more and next time wants to get freaky. She also wants to be his girlfriend after the show. He says, “We’ll see.”

Perv of the Day: Jessie asks Michelle and April to demonstrate their favorite sexual positions. I think my favorite position for Jessie would be no f’in way. The guys then discuss Steven running to the bathroom first thing in the morning every day with his hand covering his privates. This leads into a discussion about what he was covering and if the other guys experience it as well. Michelle oddly claims to experience the same phenomenon, leaving me wondering about the physicality about that. A little later we find out why Steven is waking up in this condition. He’s been having dreams about Dolly Patron making out with his friends and a congressman that’s involved in a sex scandal.

101st Reason to Dislike BB After Dark: Much of the evening is spent preparing for a talk show they’re going to put on when AD kicks in. What happened to the good old days of Season 9 with pool porn orgies? Jessie is wearing a green beret from the food comp plus his mustache from the same comp, and his name is Pepe Le Pew. Memphis is wearing a halter top and sunglasses and running around. Dan is hosting the show, and April is another guest. She talks about being in love with … Ollie, who comes in wearing a wig that makes him look like Parker. Libra is the relationship expert on the show, and Angie gets a makeover going from Angie to Angela. All they can talk about afterward is how great it was and how they know it will end up on YouTube. After this, they play a rousing game of Heads Up, 7-Up.

Counting Your Chickens: Jessie and Michelle are sure one of them is going to win the whole show.

My Thoughts: I’d love to see Michelle use the veto to pull someone off, either one I don’t care, and put up someone that would really shake the house up, just to get stuff moving, as it’s somehow too predictable in just the second week of the show. Putting Libra or Angie up would be a great way to to stir it. It’ll be interesting, too, now that April and Ollie appear to have consummated their relationship to see if they now become targets just as Chelsea and James did.

Big Brother 10 Live Feeds, July 18th - Guilty by Association

Topic of the Day: The main topics today are whether the veto should be used, and if Libra is really catching on to what’s happening with the alliance that is in power this week. But we’ll get to those in a bit. First …

Jessie and Memphis the bartender decide that if someone comes down with the veto they’ll put Renny up and vote out the other guy. Jessie wants to cut Angie from the alliance and replace her with Dan. Memphis the bartender says no, because then Angie would go out and tell everyone about their former alliance and their plans. Jessie sees Angie on the spy screen talking to Steven in the kitchen, and can’t believe that she refuses to stay away from him.

Ramping up for Veto: Libra really wants a slop pass. The backyard is set up with a big doorway and a bunch of other props.

The Big Enigma: Seriously, why do these people believe that if you’re not in an alliance with someone, you shouldn’t ever talk to them. Or smile at them. Or help them wash the dishes. It makes no sense.

Keesha tries to explain this concept to Libra and April, saying that she really likes Steven and enjoys hanging out with him, but she’s not stupid and knows that she has to vote him out of the house. She says that’s she’s not stupid quite often actually. Just sayin’. The girls seem to agree with Keesha to her face, but then when she’s gone they turn on her and call her a floater, and complain that she’s only trying to keep all of her bases covered.

Michelle and Her Many Alliances: Speaking of floaters, Keesha thinks Michelle is one and doesn’t trust her. Libra thinks Michelle is solid and a big part of their alliance. Heh. Libra and April tell Michelle what Keesha has said about her, and Libra asks her straight up if she’s running back and telling stuff to Angie. Just Angie? Libra, honey, you’re observant. Who do you think Michelle is spilling to?

Michelle says that she’s not telling Angie anything, because Angie is an idiot who has chosen to isolate herself. This seems to satisfy Libra. For now. They’re all amazed at how Angie really thought she had a chance to save Brian, and now she won’t separate herself from Steven. And we’re back to the whole segregation issue now.

Steven’s Confused – Or is it an Act? Steven goes to Libra and tells her that he did what the house wanted and voted to evict Brian, but he’s still been nominated and he doesn’t understand why. Libra tells him that he voted by his actions, not his words. Obviously he wanted to keep Brian in the house, so that’s why he’s up. Which of course makes no sense, as I’ve been pointing out all along.

Libra tells Steven that he needs to go around and really talk to people and try to make connections in the house. Except, of course, that no one wants to be seen talking to Steven lest they be targeted themselves next week. Hey Jessie, Memphis the bartender, and the rest of you idiots – Libra’s talking to Steven. She must be a floater!

High School Games: Libra tells Dan some story about the people who tried to arrange for Brian’s ouster, which is completely false. She wants to see if Dan tells Angie, and if Angie will tell Keesha. What if Dan tells Keesha? Or what if Dan tells Ollie, who tells Jessie’s physique, who tells Jerry, who tells Keesha? How will Libra ever know? The mind boggles.

Veto Time: We get to watch bubbles while the veto comp is on. These bubbles are worse than the flames. Every season, they come up with lamer things to play when the feeds are cut off. This one looks like some lame-ass screen saver from 1997.

When we come back, it’s clear fairly quickly that Michelle has won the veto. Libra gave up a slop pass, and keeps talking about it.

Veto Aftermath: Keesha is upset and crying to Jessie that one of the girls really upset her during the comp. It’s hard to tell what she’s really upset about. It seems that someone said or did something that implied that Keesha wasn’t part of the team, or that she was really wanting to win the veto for Steven.

Libra is yapping to Steven in the kitchen about hearing Keesha tell him that she was sorry she didn’t win the veto for him. Steven is pissed off, and says no, Keesha told him she was sorry that he didn’t win it himself. Libra thinks that she took one for the team by not going for the slop pass. Apparently Renny started this whole fight, which had to have happened right after the comp.

Keesha tells Jessie that she really wanted to win the veto and keep the nominations the same so that people would stop doubting her. She’s friends with Steven and doesn’t want to just stop talking to him because he’s leaving on Wednesday.

Libra thinks that Keesha was trying to get her to take the slop pass so that she’d be out of the game and Keesha could win it to save Steven. Good grief. Keesha says no, she was cheering for Libra to take the slop pass because she had said that she wanted one so badly.

Eventually Keesha and Libra hash it all out, starting with an argument. Keesha tells Libra she knows that Libra was telling people she was campaigning for Steven to stay. Libra denies it and says that someone is lying to Keesha. They end up confused, as Steven continues to lament the fact that Dan voted for Brian to stay, yet he’s not the target this week. The ghost of Brian is going to be a factor for a while, methinks.

Steven Makes at Attempt to Stay: Steven goes to Michelle after the veto comp and tells her the same thing that he had said to Libra earlier, that he doesn’t understand why he’s on the block when he did exactly what everyone wanted him to do. Michelle tells him that she doesn’t know what she’s going to do with the veto yet, and that he needs to give her some time to think about all of it.

Steven then goes to Jessie and asks him to explain his nominations, since Steven never did anything against Jessie. Jessie says that Steven wasn’t with him, so he must be against him. Steven says no, it’s not a black and white issue like that, but Jessie insists that there’s no gray area. I think he means gamewise, not between his ears, but it’s hard to be certain.

This is quite a long conversation, but it boils down to the fact that Steven was with Brian last week, and he didn’t go up to Jessie’s HoH room or congratulate him, which Jessie perceived as disrespect. So that’s why he’s up. Steven says that he may as well leave the house voluntarily then, rather than spend the next few days ostracized. He doesn’t want to see Keesha screamed at any more for spending time with him either. He tells Jessie that the three girls on his side are spending their days talking shit about everyone else in the house, and he doesn’t want to be involved in that any longer.

Jessie says that he can empathize with everything Steven is saying, because he felt the same way last week. He admits that if he does something that the rest of them think is wrong, that he’ll be out the door as well. Steven wonders if Michelle would be targeted if she uses the veto on him, and Jessie is pretty sure she would. When Steven tells Jessie that he was never on his radar, Jessie replies that he might be doing the others’ dirty work for them.

Truer Words Were Never Spoken: Keesha tells Renny that someone needs to win HoH next week that will change the way things are working in the house.

The Tide Starts to Turn on Libra: Keesha and April have a heart to heart, and they both say they feel badly about the fight that occurred the other night. Keesha says that Libra is turning the two of them against each other, and April agrees. They both say that they don’t trust Libra at all. April throws in that she’s already told Ollie that she’s not taking him to the end of the game. Apropos of nothing.

Jerry and Renny are also starting to figure Libra out, and Jerry swears that he’s going to go after her.

Up in the HoH room, Keesha tells Memphis the bartender and Jessie that she wants Jerry to win HoH again next week and get Libra out, but Memphis the bartender thinks it would be better to have Jerry and Renny on the block next and stick to the plan. Only Steven was never part of the original plan, was he? Nope. Dan was supposed to be next, and now he’s sticking around longer than Jerry or Renny. You see how well plans work in the BB house?

Memphis the bartender believes that the only way they’ll be able to get Libra out is if they backdoor her. And I don’t think the boy understands how to backdoor anyone, because if that’s what he wanted to do, he’s sitting on the perfect opportunity RIGHT NOW. Duh.

There’s a Hole in Your Logic, Dear Libra Dear Libra: Libra tries to convince April and Keesha that they need to take out the boys first, because they’re all plotting to take out the girls first. Brilliant observation, Libra! Brian left first, and now Steven’s the target, and they also want Jerry and Dan gone … oh, wait. Never mind.

And Steven Catches On: Steven wonders if he might be able to swing something against Libra this week, the same way that the others took Brian down last week. Jerry and Angie seem to be game.

Angie floats the idea by Memphis the bartender, who insists that the idea is stupid because Michelle will not use the veto. Steven also makes a play for Memphis the bartender’s vote, but Memphis says in no uncertain terms that his vote will be to evict Steven this week.

Followed by Libra Catching On: Michelle is getting a little too comfortable, and lets a few things slip in a conversation with Libra. Libra figures out that there’s an alliance between Michelle, Jessie, Memphis the bartender, and Angie. She knows that Steven and Dan were targeted because of their affiliation with Brian last week, but keeps pointing out that Angie is being left alone, even though she’s still walking around wearing Brian’s hat.

More Back and Forth Than a Tennis Match: Michelle goes to Memphis the bartender in a bit of a panic, telling him that Libra has caught on and is now all of a sudden asking a lot of questions about Angie. Memphis the bartender (I need to get that moniker in a macro or something) tells Michelle about Steven’s plan to backdoor Libra, and that Angie and Jerry are on board with it. He adds that they can’t do it, because it messes with his three-week plan. Michelle drinks the Kool-Aid and agrees that she won’t use the veto.

Michelle talks to Jessie next. Jessie thinks that Libra is a real problem now, because she knows about the alliance and will come after them. Poor dumb Jessie. He doesn’t quite understand that you can’t just take out all of your threats in one HoH week and guarantee safety throughout the rest of the game. It’s only week two people. Chill out. Michelle is really pissed off though that Jessie wants to change the plan, and she tells him the whole thing is stupid.

Then Michelle goes back to Memphis the bartender and complains that now Jessie is saying that he wants Libra out. She’s all angry and hyper. She doesn’t seem to understand that, if she doesn’t use the veto, the nominations won’t change. She has some control here. Memphis the bartender talks her down and explains that she shouldn’t use the veto and then Steven will be out and his all-important plan can keep rolling along.

Jessie goes to his new BFF Dan and tells him that he needs to target Libra next week because the whole house wants her gone. He says that Dan would become a hero in the house if he could get Libra out.

Finally the Jessie, Michelle, and Memphis the bartender brain trust gathers to hash things out. Jessie tells Michelle that she just got too mad at him and started yelling, and he didn’t know what to think. He came out of the DR earlier, and they asked him about the alliances in the house, and the Libra was all over him asking about Angie and Michelle and stuff, and it all confused him.

Memphis the bartender decides that they’ll just stick with his plan, and he’ll tell Libra that some other people are after her so that she stops focusing on Angie. I love how Angie is part of this alliance, but she never gets invited to the meetings.

Fun Stuff: BB is asking trivia questions and throwing out truly random facts today. Besides the usual number of laps in the pool or laps around the backyard to make a mile, BB has asked what the tallest building west of the Mississippi is. Not sure if these new questions have anything to do with the game or not, but they’re definitely amusing.

Quotes of the Day: “That would be the dumbest move in Big Brother history.” – Michelle, on using the veto to save Steven. Really? I wonder how Marcellas and Dustin feel about that?

“Blondes who wear lipstick are cheap.” – April, who proudly refrains from using lipstick but urges strangers to squeeze her boobs.

My Thoughts: Really, I’m about ready to put my head through the monitor and be done with it. I’m looking forward to a few weeks from now, when a few more people are gone and things are quite so crazy.

Jessie is so easily swayed, and seems to trust anyone who takes the time to talk to him. Except for Steven, who I think might have offended Jessie earlier in the game. I got the distinct impression that Jessie wanted to be part of the Steven/Dan/Brian thing, but wasn’t asked to join in. He’s playing very personally and emotionally, and I’m not sure Memphis the bartender is going to keep him around much after his “plan” to get the next three people out is over with.

Michelle is going to end up in a pickle, since she’s got her main alliance, something with Libra/April/Keesha, another side alliance with Angie, and then she plays up to both Memphis the bartender and Jessie so they’ll think she’s tighter with them than the other.

I would really love to see Renny, Jerry, Angie, Keesha, and Steven band together and get something done. Boot Dan this week, and then try to bust up the bigger alliances. And for the love of all that is holy, stop targeting people just because they like to hang out with someone who happens to be nominated.
