Big Brother 10

[kitkat]

Spoiler: Spoilers on Big Brother

Already knew Memphis won POV (I wonder if "somehow" Dan and him conspired to arrange for Memphis to win POV/increase his chances. So did Ollie put up Michelle? I thought he wanted to protect her. Or did Dan not honor his agreement with Ollie?

I was wondering the same thing.....

Spoiler: This week

I'm going to assume that Dan didn't honor the deal. In which case, I'm also going to assume that Ollie will be so freakin' pissed! I mean, Ollie felt like she was his only friend in the house and I couldn't see that changing. Of course, things happen so quickly in that house you just never know. Should be an interesting week.

Spoiler: Dan

Dan did not honor his agreement with Ollie. And yes, both he and Michelle are quite pissed. But Ollie. buddy. Dan's nickname is "Judas" for a reason! Wise up!

Ollie wanted/'ordered' Dan to put up Keesha, but there was no way Dan was going to turn on his own allience.

Heh heh. Dan said he'd "back-door" Michelle.

Can't say I fully understood his "Nomination Roulette" game, but Dan has been playing this game really well. Again, I really want to see him win.

It was funny, I watched some of last night's AD and there was a bit where Dan was talking with Renny, Memphis and Keisha (who has the world's most annoying laugh this side of Fran Drescher) anyway, they're talking about sex (or something), Dan is feigning ignorance on what a douche is, but anyway Renny at one point says. "(Dan) if I wasn't married I'd throw you down and teach you a thing or two." Shut Dan up and caused him to get up and kind of walk off.

That's good stuff!!!!

 

[Hennessy Badger]

Heh heh. Dan said he'd "back-door" Michelle.

And he didn't simply select her as the replacement nom. No, he ordered her into the nomination chair. Did you hear his exact words? "Get on the block!" Not, "I'm sorry Michelle, but I have to nominate you." No, 'big balls' Dan practically ejaculated all over her in his display of macho power. Big man.

Can't say I fully understood his "Nomination Roulette" game, but Dan has been playing this game really well.

If his goal was to alienate himself from half of the house: mission accomplished! I'm sure on Thursday we'll hear his usual, "That could not have gone any better! How perfect was that!?!"

And in a way it was perfect, for Memphis. Dan has pretty much guaranteed himself a place in the top two. But his over-the-top game play has pissed off enough of the future jury, he'll have to settle for $50,000 and second place.

Like with Michelle. He could have easily killed her with flattery, explaining that she was simply too big a threat to keep in the game. But instead, he came across as a huge prick. And she'll never give him her vote.

Neither will Ollie. Think about this, during their negotiations up on the swings, it was Dan's idea to give Ollie the replacement nominee power. Ollie didn't ask for it. He would have settled for protection for himself and the power to name one of the original nominees.

But instead Dan chose to oversell the deal, making a promise he knew full well he wouldn't be able to keep. First rule of BB Danny boy, DON'T PISS OFF ANYONE YOU DON'T HAVE TO! Yet Dan's arrogance took control.

Jerry will not vote for Judas. Period.

Once Michelle and Ollie chat April's ear off (in the jury house) nonstop for an entire week about what a dick Dan became in the game. You can be sure she'll side with Michelle and Ollie by not voting for Dan.

Even assuming Libra, Keesha and Renny all vote for Dan to win (which BTW, Keesha never would, she's totally horny for Memphis) he still wouldn't have the votes to get the million.

Has his game play been fun to watch? Occasionally.

But has he been playing the game "really well"? In the words of Libra, "Hell to the no!"

Dan's fatal flaw: The bitch just sucks at math.

 

[Trekker4747]

It depends on what theory you want to go with on how the Jury will vote.

Richard Hatch: Survivor 1. Manipulative and a scheemer and he won.

Dan could stand up there, say "It was all a game, don't take it personally", etc. and he may get some votes. If people vote on him as a PERSON, sure he may lose. But if people vote on how he played the game he'll win, because he played the game best.

And if it's up there with Memphis, Memphis has already won something (the classic automobile) so that may hurt HIM.

 

[kitkat]

What about Dr. Will? He was the KING manipulator, liar, etc. and he soundly won the first time he was on and damn near won the second time he was on. I think Will was an asshole but I just had to admire how he was able to convince all these people, who had seen him on the show before and knew how he was, that he was being faithful to them. Cracked me up. Now, does that make Will (or Dan for that matter) a good person? Fuck no, but you have to admire the game play.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I'm pretty bad at guessing how jury members will vote, in Survivor and Big Brother, so I won't even bother guessing. I think that Renny has a good chance of winning if she gets to the final two. She really is the smartest one in the house. She lays low but seems to know everything that's going on, and she's great at picking out peoples' hidden motives. If she doesn't let her temper get the best of her she has a good shot.

Tonight is a BIG night for the Big Brother house guests. After Michelle's eviction the house will experience an entire weeks worth of events in one night! Tonight's episode will contain:

1) HOH comp (confirmed)

2) Nom ceremony (confirmed)

3) Veto comp (not confirmed, but highly likely)

4) Veto ceremony (again, not confirmed, but highly likely)

5) 2nd live eviction! (confirmed)

6) 2nd HOH comp? (unknown, but possible)

I'm sure you have all noticed that because of the democratic national convention this week, following programs have been pushed back or delayed. That is likely going to be the case for the live eviction tonight.

Thankfully BBDish will either be posting a link or streaming the episode live on its website tonight. For those of us on the west coast, it is a rare opportunity to watch the live show.....well....live! So if you're interested, go to: http://bbdish.blogspot.com/ tonight to check it out! Happy viewing!

It's a real shame Michele is the one likely to leave tonight as she's the only real "eye candy" left in the house. I guess Keesha is OK and Renny for an older woman, but there's just something about Michele.

Her cussing, DR, triades though knock her down a bit in the hotness scale.

Any speculations on who likely will go off tonight in the second round of events? Dan can't get HOH again, and he's only safe if Memphis, Keesha and Renny get HOH (and even then it's not out of the question as Keesha and Renny (IIRC) are in their own alliance.) And he's *really* ticked off Michelle and Ollie and who knows where Jerry sits -likely on the anti-Dan side.

So he stands a good chance of going up.

Jerry has had a target on his back for quite some time now, Keesha and Renny are most layed low, Memphis still has the "already won something" stigma and Ollie's only fault is the opposing alliance.

So how about it? Who goes in the second round of events?

Usually when they do that here there's a back up station that airs it. Be sure to look around, you might find it.

The one we get it on is the channel that used to be WB or CW or whatever and now they just show a bunch of odd stuff all the time so when things are pre-empted on almost any channel, there's a chance it's on that. Maybe just look around when it's supposed to start, you might stumble onto it.

If not, that sucks. I'm sorry.

 

[Trekker4747]

I'm not sure which side-affiliate our local CBS operates (I think it is CW) but they'just advetised it on their news that they'll re-air it at 11:35 tonight after Letterman and the on-line guide on my cable box confirms thisw (the DVR has already corrected) but the CW station still shows their regular Thurday night line-up. I cslled and left a message with their programing director on how upset I was with them pre-empting network programing for a local-team's pre-season game.

Trekker, sorry to hear you may have issues catching tonights broadcast. If you're in the US (or possibly even if you're not), the link I posted should allow you to watch the show on a live stream. Here's the site where it'll be posted: http://bbdish.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I'll miss her. But she stayed long enough to see her nemesis Libra leave, so at least that's something.

Any speculations on who likely will go off tonight in the second round of events?

That's going to be hard to predict. Part of what makes "fast forward night" so much fun is that people will make cut-throat decisions they would otherwise avoid. The HOH won't have to deal with the awkwardness of nominating a 'friend' for the entire week. More like 25 minutes. So anything goes.

That said, if I had to put money down on who's going, I'd say Ollie.

Here's the facts/possibilities:

Rumors have been circulating that Ollie's post-veto ceremony behavior was unstable. It is been suggested that he may have caused damage to BB house property. A big no-no in the rules. It's possible he'll receive a penalty of either...

a) Not being able to compete in the next HOH

b) Being able to compete, but at a disadvantage of some sort.

Even if he doesn't receive any kind of penalty tonight, his history of HOH comps have been pretty weak. It's not very likely he'll do well tonight. Plus, his aggressive behavior this week is the perfect excuse to evict him quickly as possible.

Jerry, the only person in the house who wouldn't nominate Ollie, is crap at HOH competitions as well. So I wouldn't expect him to hold any kind of power tonight. He'll likely be used as a pawn, so he won't even have a vote.

As you mentioned, Dan cannot compete (at least for the first HOH comp) so that leaves Keesha, Memphis and Renny as the first HOH.

The only potential HOH winner who might mix things up is Renny. If she sees this as her only opportunity to out Memphis (who she has mentioned as a threat time and time again) she might put him up next to Dan. But even that is unlikely with Jerry and Ollie still around as safer targets.

I think Keesha will win HOH (if not her then Memphis). She'll put up Ollie and Jerry. And Ollie will not be able to win veto power, sending him home with a unanimous vote.

That's my guess.

 

[Spot's Meow]

I'd say that's a pretty good guess. I think that if anyone besides Jerry and Ollie win HOH, they would be the obvious choices to nominate. Unless, like you said, Renny decides to try and get rid of Memphis.

So why does no one want Jerry out anymore? It seems like they always want to nominate him, but never want to vote him out. I guess they feel like they have bigger threats, but man is Jerry irritating. I would really really like to see him gone quickly.

Jerry isn't a threat to win. Their plan mostly seems to be to get the threats out rather than the people they don't like living with.

 

[Hennessy Badger]

^ And it's funny because Jerry has actually won more veto's than anyone else in the house this season. Granted his total is an unremarkable 2 wins, but that still puts him in the lead.

Ollie's the one who has:

Never won HOH

Never won POV

And the only house guest this season who has yet to be nominated!

Every other (current) house guest has either won HOH or POV. He's the only house guest to have not had either.

Laying low has gotten Ollie far in this game. But the more I think about it, the more convinced I am he's going home tonight.

 

[Hennessy Badger]

I think Keesha will win HOH (if not her then Memphis). She'll put up Ollie and Jerry. And Ollie will not be able to win veto power, sending him home with a unanimous vote.

That's my guess.

Nailed it.


So long Michelle and Ollie. Ollie buddy, at least you get to start screwing April again. Michelle, on the other hand, just got screwed.

And the new (week long) HOH is....

Spoiler: new HOH

JERRY!!!!!!!!!

And...

Spoiler: BB spoiler

....everyone is sucking up to him shamelessly! They've been listening to him drone on and on about nothing really for hours. But everyone is afraid to be the first to leave his presence for fear that they'll be put up! Jerry's suddenly become the most popular person in the house. Pure coincidence I'm sure.
