All vaguely spoilerish action, after the cut!

Still on Trivia - as soon as the feeds cut back in, I’ll letcha know!

Feeds come back at 6:05 PM. There’s a bit of trash talking, and Jessie is saying its a good thing he lost all that weight. Dan - LOVE HIM - says “If your starting to sweat, raise both your hands!”

Earthquake time! Dan asks what superhero power they want. Jessie says The one I have! Jerry says Spiderman. There’s a bit of trash talking, but everyone hanging strong.

6:15 PM - Jessie is giving them a rundown on the muscles they’re straining. Ollie is squatting. There’s some trash talking going on, figure it’ll be more. Dan is shifting position a lot.

6:16 - Jerry is down! He says too much weight. He’s winded, but his arms gave out. He says he’s too big, but is fine. He and Keesha think April is doing the best and will in it.

6:23 Libra is down! And the trash talk continues, including “What would David Hasslehoff do?!” and “Pain does not exist in this Dojo!” Mostly Dan. *L* He’s too cute.

6: 30 - and Dan is still talking. Telling Renny she’s representing for New Orleans, and asks for a time check, and he’s gotten into trouble for talking about production.

He asks jessie if when his arms start shaking, that’s a good thing, right? Jessie talks about running through the wall in Jogging. Dan “But your the only human who’s run through a wall!”

Then Dan - 4th quarter, down by 37, and I don’t even have the ball!

Ok. I’m crushing on him a little, I know. But he’s cute, and funny!

Dan: I think someone liiiiiiiiiikes me.. they keep loooooking at meee.. Appppppril…
April: Sorry Monica!

April offers to do poses for them, the other plastics tell her she looks good. Time to shake rattle and roll. Dan is hurtin. So’s Ollie.

6:34 - Dan “Hey Memphis, what happens when you get three stikes? Yup. I’m out.” He makes a dramatic fall and crawl off the mat. Cute!

6:45 Ollie’s down!

6:50 - One hour in, we’re down to 6, and it’s gotten a lot quieter up there, though the smell of the stuff they’re blowing on them is pretty bad and there’s mild complaints about it. Jerry says he thinks Jessie is in trouble. I agree. Memphis is having a hard time too. Renny looks strong, as does April and Michelle - those two look like they could hang up there all night long.

6:50 - we have our first complaints of “that’s not fair” from the peanut gallery as apparently Jessie wrapped his arm around the rail. Trivia.

6:56 - We’re back, and Jessie is down. And likely not happy!

7:00 Renny is still hanging in, Keesha is encouraging her so she can continue to share the HOH bed. Ollie has promised April a full body massage. Michelle laughs and says she hasn’t been in this position for a while - just sayin! Laughter all around. Memphis is quietly determined. all are moving a lot, except for April.

Michelle is offering deals. No takers.

7:03 and Memphis is down! And then there were three… Memphis has a cut on his hand and is bleeding, they’re cleaning it out with water, he says he can’t move his arms.

7:10
Michelle “where’d the helecopters go?”
April “they’re not coming to save us. What’s up with that? how’s my hair look?”

7:20 Renny, April and Michelle are still holding strong. Michelle is the last chance for her alliance, and she knows it. She’s bopping to an inner music beat like she hasn’t a care in the world. April is starting to move around more, and Renny is a machine, baby. Kudos to her!

7:20 - 25 Trivia. We come back to Dan teasing Renny about staying up there. Building her up. Would your family want to come down? NO! Would your swim instructor want you to come down? NO! Renny’s laughing. Cute!

He’s promising motivational speaches for the other ladies. They say go for it - and he delivers to Michelle first. He’s really rather good at this. “Rhode island is the smallest state for a reason!” “BS!” “Fine, say I’m gonna put RI on the map RIGHT NOW! I can’t do it for you.” Peanut gallery says it’s deep. Jessie says man, if you had given me a speech like that I’d still be up there. Hahahha!

April hasn’t asked for hers yet.

7:35 PM -And the three hang on…

7:43 PM - Renny slips and spins, and faces the wall, which dq’s her. She went to shake out her hand and slipped. She jumps down to be greeted by very proud houseguests!

And then there were two. April and Michelle.

7:50. 2 hours in. Michelle is breathing heavier then April, but April is showing signs of pain and wear. Michelle keeps bopping, chanting to herself (Stop pop n lock) then re-adjusting and carrying on. It’s mind over matter at this point, boys and girls!

Is anyone else giggling everytime they start shaking? it looks vaguely.. well. yeah. Heh.

Michelle: Your feet numb?
April: whole body is numb.
Michelle: Ah, good.

Its supportive rather then catty, but there’s that straight up determination there.

8:00 PM - they’re still hanging in there. Jessie and Ollie are watching them, Ollie is sitting right in April’s line of sight. All eyes are on the Mean Girl Showdown - Who will prevail?

8:10
Michelle: My feet are no longer numb, they’re burning.
April: Oh I know, my whole body hurts.

Michelle makes monkey noises, and says her hands are falling off. April says she can’t feel hers…

I sense deal making in the near future…

8:15 April says she’s ready for her motivational speech from Dan. He says tripple overtime, 27-27, a beautiful blond hailing from nebraska, got ya boyfriend watching, spent everything, family watching. is April tough, but is she tough enough? No one gave you a chance. It’s up to you. How bad do you want it? And do you Really want it? Or was she just hanging there to show off her legs and other… endowments.. but its not about what you look like, it’s whats inside that matters! It’s 4th and Goal. Twin sister can’t watch, does she have anything left in the tank! Your showmance just found out the girl that he likes is about 100 times tougher then him! He has to deal with that!

Its time, your hands are slipping, legs are tired, and your not sure if your hair looks good…. will they all look at me the same way?! Can April dig DEEP within her SOUL and pull this out? You have to ASK yourself, with the clock running out, tripple overtime. You gonna face it, or crumble. No one can do it for you. Now lets get out there and KICK SOME ASS…

OMG he’s so funny and cute. I seriously love Dan. Everyone tells him he’s that was the best one yet and he has a job as a personal motivational speaker in his future. *L*

8:20 Michelle: Can’t we both have it?
April: I’m good.

Michelle is starting to cry. April begs her not to cry.
April: I’ll give you half a bottle of wine
Michelle: fuck that I want the whole thing!

Laughter…
April: now I won’t let go!
Michelle: I’ll give you half!

Still hanging tough…

8:23
April: Stop crying. You got this. (April dammit, don’t make me like you a little…)
Michelle’s still shaky, fighting for control, but hanging on.

They start talking, whispering. Michelle says she needs to see her mom. Michelle says they’re looking at her. April says ya think? She can stay up there as long as she wants with her. April offers to keep Jessie in the game, but can’t say who she’s going to put up because they’re looking at her.

April: why are you crying?
Michelle: Nothing else to do.
April: sorry baby, not going anywhere.
Michelle: me either.
April: we migh pass out.
Michelle: god I gotta lose weight.

Michelle: You gonna put me or Jessie up?
April: no.
Michlle: Even with the veto?
April: I swear. I want you in this game.
Michelle - if we’re in this position next week, will you give it to me?
April: swear it.
Michelle: I swear - tears.
April: sorry honey. I’d put it on their life but I won’t do that.

8:30
Michelle’s in tears. Jessie’s wiping his face. She’s crying and says sorry mom, but continues to hang on. April just waits.

8:31
April: I can’t promise ya much more, girl
Michelle: laughs - a new CAH!
April: deal, you won’t be able to drive it though since we can’t feel our hands.

laughter.

Michelle: this is the one time I hate being tall. She seems to be centering herself, but I don’t think she’ll last much longer.

8:39 - Michelle asks one more time “You swear?” April does, and Michelle falls. April stays one more minute for her family, then falls and goes to hug Michelle, and April swears once again that she won’t put Michelle and Jessie up.

Time to open another post for the aftermath!
