Big Brother Craze

Talk about awkward silences. Heh. Opened a new post as the last one was 60 miles long. It started out slow, built up to explosive in parts, then calmed back down again… intense, though not exactly like I pictured it. Still intense.

And of course, it’s all after the cut.

Memphis headed inside, all fours cams on Dan in the pool alone - well, except for the rubber ducky.

Silence in the back yard, Michelle on the couch, Dan laying by the pool. Flash to the Hippie room
Keesha; you’re not doing that are you?
Renny: if they know, they know!

They go to the kitchen where Memphis is:
Memphis: Just the same thing, every day! driving me nuts!

Keesha outside, tells Memphis the washing machine isn’t doing too good - it’s thumping and rattling.. unbalanced, it sounds like. Memphis asks Dan if they’re gonna play chess, marbles, something. Still a lot of silence going around…. Dan goes in to make some leftovers to eat. Keesha’s laying on one of the loungers near Memphis, he’s teasing her about not eating.

Random chit chat, and quiet house. Stay tuned… I’m sure things will heat up again before the day is done…

Michelle’s back in the game. Still delusional, but back in the game. She tells Ollie that she needs to know if the alliance between him, Jerry and Dan was real. That she’ll use it. Ollie tells her to tell ‘him’ she’ll put up anyone he wants next week.

Ollie: tell him you’ll put up anyone he wants next week if he keeps you, me too.
Michelle: if he wasn’t gonna go along with the deal, why would he put Memphis up anyway?
Ollie: I don’t know. that’s what I don’t get. He couldn’t have known Memphis would win it…

Ollie: I shoulda checked the bag to see if my name was in there.
Michelle: If he did he could have taken it out.
Ollie: I bet you my name wasn’t in there.
Michelle: I’ll tell him, I’ll put up one he puts up… (She’s talking about Memphis)
Ollie: tell him two - you’ll put whoever he wants up you just want to be here.
Michelle: because if he wanted to protect you why would he put you up…

Fish - then outside with Renny/Keesha.
Keesha: yeah, Dan made it over the top a little bit. (laughs)

Memphis joins: Well, we’re in for an awkward two days…

Renny/Keesha alone again.
Renny: he shouldn’t say thinks like that, just put me up. He might get it.

Renny: what did he say at the end? Do you remember?
Keesha: Oh, he said something about you need to know who’s… something about gambling, you know take a risk, and unfortunately Michelle gambled with the wrong hand, take your seat or something.

Renny: I’ll keep him around if he keeps us protected.
(not sure which ‘he’ that is.)

Dan’s in HOH, listening to his CD, and staring at Monica’ picture that he’s holding in bed with him.

Hippie Room: Michelle/Memphis
Michelle: did ye tell you not to use the Veto?
Memphis: yeah..
Michelle: why? I don’t know why..
Memphis: i don’t know why he did anything he did this week.

Michelle pushes it, and keeps trying create doubt and get his vote. Says that if Dan wasn’t going with the deal, why didn’t he put him up in the first place? And offers him the deal she and Ollie talked about - she just wants to be there, will put up anyone he wants if she gets HOH… He says he’ll think about it.

Michelle heads outside to talk to Ollie - and she recounts the convo with Memphis, ad libbing a whole lot of it of course, like Mempis is mad at Dan. She’s sure she can get Memphis, because he got screwed and put up, Dan was lying to his alliance, and back to conspiracy theories, Renny went up to HOH to see Monica’s picture, Dan wouldn’t answer the door.. (uh… kay?) fish…

Ollie tells Michelle to be sure Memphis knows Ollie didn’t want Memphis to go up - Dan picked him, because Ollie wanted Keesha. He continues and says he can’t be mad at any of them, only Dan. Dan said he was playing ‘a’ game, that he likes games it was all a game…
—-again, notice to Ollie: Big Brother Is A Game. Just sayin’

Michelle: We got nothing to lose right now, man, nothing to lose. Cause if I’m goin’ this week, you’re going next.
Ollie: Jerry doesn’t have to do anything in this game but walk around butt naked and he’ll skate to the end. This game is stupid, man.

Fish.

Dan comes downstairs and Ollie mutters just loud enough for Dan to hear.
Ollie: Game master. Mastermind.

Then he added another under his breath as he sat.
–faggot, I’m pretty sure. Sigh. ollie ollie ollie. What little respect I had for the preacher’s son is gone, gone gone.

Fish again. (Most likely because of derogatory name calling. Though this is a long buncha fish. Pretty fish. just keep swimming, just keep swimming..

We’re back after about 15 minutes of Fish, Dan’s alone in HOH on his bed, all four cams. Renny/Memphis/Keesha in the Hippie room - until Renny heads out, and upstairs to talk to Dan.

Renny: Whatcha doin? Had to go to the DR huh?
Dan: Yeah, what’s going on?
Renny: everyone’s sleepin. Whatcha doing with your picture? just lookin at it?
Dan: yeah. Think i did the right thing?
Renny: ….yeah. In which way, are you second guessing yourself?
Dan: I dunno
Renny: What are they talking about this photo? Why they saying it’s fake?
Dan: I don’t know, they think my neck looks too big, I’m too jacked up, something.

Renny: (laughs)
Dan: she’s starting to give me the evil eye now, Michelle. Ollie had some remarks under his breath. Guess it’s to be expected. Thanks for coming up though.
Renny: I hope you understand where I was coming from.
Dan: I do. What was she sayin? When you were outside? All kinds of stuff?
Renny: Yeah. See, he was saying that… that he told you he wanted Keesha up, and you said no way. Is that the truth?
Dan: and he said he never said Memphis, I put him up. It’s crazy.
Renny: It doesn’t matter, just matters that we move forward. Right?
Dan: yeah.
Renny: You can’t have… the house is violent right now, know what I’m sayin? But it’ll subside. Gotta make them thing.. but you know, what if the Colonel or Ollie win hoh?
Dan: I’ll be going up, for sure. That’s what I have to deal with.
Renny: why do you look like Mel Gibson here? What are they talking about the picture, your neck?
Dan; they say I’m not that big in real life. They don’t know what they’re talking about.
Renny: Jerry didn’t talk to you, did he?
Dan: not a word.
Renny: He’s sleeping.
Dan: He’s not very fond of me, is he…
Renny: Take what he says with a grain of salt, know what I mean?

Dan: Michelle ask you for your vote?
Renny: Yeah. I hate… but you know, it’s gonna happen. Specially when the numbers get down, to see desperation. I mean, I like Michelle but she’s a fierce competitor. That’s how April was, right? The games gonna change a lot, depends on who wins this, pov.
Dan: Waht angle she try to take with you?
Renny: When I was in the storage room, she came in and… what I told her was.. listen, I can’t talk to anyone right now, I’m very nervous, you know with the lollipop and…
Dan: yeah, that makes me feel uncomfortable, I’m not used to being around that kinda stuff.
Renny: What he tell you up here?
Dan: he was like tell them the whole story, I told them the whole story, he’s like why not tell me and he was like you took away my manhood and all, and I was like it was a game, and he was all that picture is fake, it’s not real, I saw her on vacation.. you know. Then he was all I’m disappointed in myself for believing you and I told him, I’m just playing the game.
Renny: Did you say anything like well I protected Michelle by.. in other words she wasn’t on the block too.
Dan: Well, you know, when people are so mad? There’s nothing I can say to change his mind about me.
Renny: Get to that point with anyone, right?
Dan: Yeah, you hope in life you surround yourself with people you like and care about and see what happens.
Renny: There’s a lot you don’t know about me, but I did that in my life. I can’t talk about it but… that’s why I’m like I am, which is good, I’m a very strong woman… that’s why I…

fish.

Dan: yeah, that’s the way my dad got at the end… they didn’t even sleep in the same bed, and she said that it’s not normal, and not to be that way, so I always keep that in the back of my head.
Renny: Exactly… to suffer that kind of torture in a sense.. I know someone who did that for 25 years.
Dan: Yeah, to hold that stuff in, you do yourself damage, not anyone else.
Renny: Is he getting better about it?
Dan: He’s 55 years old… and you know, I could feel sorry for myself about my dad, but some don’t have one. He was there financially and all. I just accepted the fact and deal with it.
Renny: It’s.. you know, it’s taught. He didn’t know how.. you know…he missed a lot though he was there, but he wasn’t. You can’t get that back, you see, those years? Someone told me one time, she was crying over her father…

Fish.

Back.
Renny: he learning it now?
Dan throws her his letter to read: he wrote two words there.
Renny: He doesnt’ know how to express his emotions, it’s sad.
Dan: yeah, I’ve accepted the fact and look at Memphis, his real dad’s dead, you know?
Renny: Well. Sometimes life isn’t fair.
Dan: We’re here - you know? How priveledged can we be? Like you said… I know you meant it but like… um. If i have kids, I’m not gonna be that way, you know?
Renny: no indeed, absolutely not. You want them to be able to love, to give somebody all they can give them emotionally. That’s the greatest intelligence you’ll ever have, emotional intelligence. It’s true. Not everybody has it, it’s amazing. I’ve been blessed to achieve it, and I know it. (Laughs)
Dan: yeah. Your husband and children, they’re lucky.
Renny: you just have to put it in perspective, you’re here to play a game and the game gets nasty. it’s not about your manhood, it’s not about that. It’s about being a good sport about things. You signed up for it, you know what comes with it if you watch the show. You made a decision, you stuck to it, and you did. He might not like it, but it is what it is. And he has to realize that when he was up there, he wasn’t the one that won. YOu always gotta have it in the back of your mind that it might not go down the way you wanted it. I just wish it was Thursday. Right?
Dan: umhm. (sigh)

Renny: What’s your biggest concern now?
Dan: in the letter, my sister and parents and Monica said they’re proud of me, I just hope they still are after seeing this.
Renny: of course they’re still proud of you, why wouldn’t they be? Nobodies here to do it but you, you have to make the best move for yourself. I think you made the right decision. She probably could have beat… she’s a tough cookie.
Dan: dude, if she had clothes on on that vine, instead of a tank top and daisy dukes, she could have won.

Renny gives him a hug, and heads out to get her clothing. Awww. Mama Renny!

Michelle/Ollie in the Spa:
Michelle: so he laughed like ha ha ha, or like, I got you?
Ollie: I said all this too you, but you were so mand. Upstairs he was like this is all a game, with a smirk on his face. He said I was a competitor and that I deserved to be here
Michelle: so I don’t deserve to be here?
Ollie: no I didn’t ask about you…
Michelle: He’s just trying to get good with you.
Ollie: he knows I’m coming after him.
Michelle: Did you tell him you remember Monica?
Ollie: he just smiled, and wouldn’t say anything. If it wasn’t her, he’d have said something.. So i asked him why he lied when she was on va..

(…fish. Dammit you two! get OFF it…)

Michelle: They asked me to keep.. and if he’s a plant…

Fish again.

Michelle: they told me to ask all the stuff he does, and why. Why would they tell me..

Fish.

Michelle: He swore on his family… knowing he was playing a game?
Ollie: I see why Jerry got so mad…
Michelle: I don’t think he’s a teacher.
Ollie: His excuse is it’s a game, you can do it inside the game, maybe he’s right.
—DINGDINGDINGDING

Michelle: But he’s a catholic school teacher!
Ollie: he came in here, laying low, but the grass is shorter, the snakes are showing their heads, and he told me that he had been playing low, but he had to step it up.
Michelle: they need to know that, keeping me in to save them another week.
Ollie; I don’t got nothing to say to them.
Michelle: guess i’ll just go home then.

Michelle: my only chance is to get Renny, and have Renny get Keesha.
Ollie: all he said up on that vine was he wanted to see Monica, see Monica. Maybe he wanted me to see her, so I knew what was going on. It’s a riddle. This Big Brother, you have to solve the Riddle.

Michelle: I’m not ready to go home. To let him say that I don’t deserve it? That’s fucked up.
Ollie: he didn’t say that you didn’t deserve it.
Michelle: he said that you were a competitor and deserved it, so..
Ollie: you’re the biggest competitor in the game.
Michelle: didn’t win the car. the money. the trip.

Michelle: thing is like. He did that and he’s just laughing at me.
Ollie; both of us. I think he meant about me, why he didn’t put me up, I stayed up there next to him for so long so he gave me a chance to stay in.
Michelle: Doesn’t make any sense though.

Jerry joins them.

Michelle: Does not make sense.
Jerry: Why would he give up half a million dollars? Doesn’t make sense.
Michelle: He’s making money.
Jerry: he can’t win the half, only play the game.
Ollie: He wouldn’t have played this way if he wanted to win half a million.
—- oh for gods sake. Stupidity abounds.

Michelle: You said you had facts figured out… it might be a puzzle we have to solve to figure out what he’s doing here.
Jerry: he’s flitted around and not committed to anything, there’s something going on with him…
Michelle: he’s not worried about getting half a million, they probably told him he’s not getting the half a million but every time he does something your gonna get paid…
—- They’re gonna feel so stupid later… or maybe not. because they’re stupid.

Fish, of course.

While we have these fish, an announcement! Within the last hour, we have passed our 100,000th visitor at Big Brother Craze this month alone! Thanks to Carolyn at BBdish for linking here and sending a lot of her traffic my way, and thanks mostly to all of YOU for visiting! You’re the best, and hey - we got 6 more days, maybe we can hit 125k! But mostly? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

We’re back, Michelle is alone in the spa, and then goes outside, where Ollie is, and the f-bombs are flying.

Michelle: I was hoping that Memphis was gonna talk to me about what I said, because that’s effed up, he put him up, then asked him not to use the m-effin veto? that’s effed up.. that’s why he’s a m-effin plant in this house, he’s an effin plant…

Fish. Come on BB, can’t we watch someone sleep instead?

Meanwhile, if Dan were a plant, ya’ll.. what kind would he be? Ficus? Cactus? Lily of the Valley? Discuss.

Also? From Joker’s Updates, this made me laugh - almost snorted diet coke up my nose!
Mon 6:28 PM BBT The big striped fish has a thick neck. The others are eying him suspiciously. Must be a plant. - Starr

6:37 And we’re back in the HOH room with Memphis and Dan. They of course talk about DR, and CBS Mobile questions, and we get fish.

We’re back:
Memphis: It’s like, how do I want to go out?
Dan: She’s gonna be there, and you wanna try and get her vote, I won’t get it.
Memphis: yeah, I could say that I’m gonna vote for her if the votes are there, which they won’t be, but I don’t want her to go to Renny because goddamn,
Dan: yeah, but you should tell her how your gonna vote when you do..
Memphis: I was telling Keesha, she was all she came on and told him the same thing, and she was all we’re still voting her out right, and I was like yeaaaaaah, Keesha!

Flash to back yard, Michelle is working over KEesha in front of Ollie on the couches.
Michelle: Why would he put Memphis up and tell him not to use the veto on himself? It doesn’t make sense…
Keesha: I didn’t know he tried to tell him that.
Ollie: he told me to hold off saying anything, until he told Memphis not to use the veto, because he wanted nominations to stay the way they were
Mchelle: isnt’ that weird? and I asked Memphis and he confirmed it.
Keesha; That is weird.
Ollie: i just asked him and he said it was a game, good tv.
Michelle: he’s obviously a plant, to risk 500k like that? he’s making money… why not put me up at the beginnign? But put Memphis up adn tell him not to use teh Veto? unless he and Jerry ahve a deal…
Keesha: waht did Jerry say?
Michelle: He said that Dan told him to be cool and calm, and then he told Memphis not to use the POV?
Keesha; he wanted Memphis to go?
Michelle: He wants Jerry to stay. And ollie just told me, he was trying to get the votes for Libra to stay, and you to leave.
Ollie: that’s where LIbra was coming from with the votes.
Keesha; he went to you and wanted Libra to stay?
Michelle: yeah, he just told me that, didn’t want to do it to begin with. it doesn’t make sense, he could have put me up, or you up… but tell him not to use teh POV?
Keesha: what did Memphis say?
Michelle: he just laughed at him, and he kept asking him, and so I went to Memphis and asked him, and he said yeah, he DID ask me, several times.
Ollie: i’m the only one that new that. there’s a lot of things only I knew, because he didn’t want you to turn on him, and i listened to him.
Michelle: I just don’t get why he would do that, it doesn’t make sense. Unless he wanted to do something backdoorish with Memphis, I don’t know.
—-SOMEDAY some houseguest will know the true definition of the back door. Sigh.

Keesha: I didn’t know that. I’m sure there’s a lot of things Idon’t know.
Michelle: did he tell you he had this plan the whole time? Why would he put up Memphis! It doesn’t make sense..
Keesha: I’m confused.
Ollie: I’ll tell you. I tried right after, but everyone was caught up in the moment.The deal was - it was just us too. He threw the deal at you.
Keesha: I heard him say, you can pick who goes up. I have good hearing. And I heard him say who do you want protected, Michelle, Renny, or Keesha.
Ollie: yup
Michelle: he said to me, that whoever’s name picked? They’d be the back door.
Ollie: he says I chose her fate by naming her. It’s a game.Dunno what game it is…
Michelle: He said us three, no guys. Not Memphis or Jerry.
Ollie: i stayed up tehre a little longer.
Keesha waht did he say no way about?
Ollie: I told him to drop, he said no way.
Keesha; oh.. ok.
Ollie: He asked who I wanted protected, I said myself, he said you can save yourself, who you want to protect, and pick the renom, and I said all three, he said one.
Michelle: and if it’s a tie breaker, did you get to pick?
Ollie: no.
Michelle: he wanted to backdoor Memphis.
Ollie: so I said give me all three…
Keesha: Did he try to protect me?
Ollie: Yes. I didn’t pick Memphis. He picked Memphis. I had to go along because he could have put me up. he put Memphis and Jerry up, adn you guys thought the deal was done after that… He was all don’t tell anyone, I wanted to tell everyone, but if you knew you’d turn on him. I granted his wishes.
Michelle: wow.
Ollie: it was supposedly my selection - and he was forcing me to pick Renny, he didn’t want you, so Renny was the only other choice. I told him I’d feel terrible, Renny hasn’t done anything to me. We talked about what was gonna happen. He said I’m gonna ask someone if they want water - that name I call said who I want you to say… and if I didn’t, he’d put me up. I had to say Renny’s name - he had a plan from the get go. I don’t know if it was his plan, but I felt like a puppet.
Michelle: This is sick.
Ollie: I wanted to tell you, but he would have put me up. ‘m frustrated because tehy mocked me. They had something to do with it - they as in big brother, they had something to do with it…

and fish, right on cue.

Meanwhile -Dan and Memphis were in HOH going over what could happen next week if Ollie wins HOH..
Memphis: he’s either gonna put me and you up first,
Dan: and replace one of us with Keesha.

Ollie: just go upstairs, and
Michelle: Yeah, I didn’t know if you saw that too, but…
Ollie: just go upstairs and…

(fish - we come back to all four feeds on HOH)

Dan: what can we do? Just sit back, my fate is in your, Keesha and Renny’s hands. I might have to volunteer if Renny wins HOH, puts up Jerry/Ollie and one wins POV
Memphis: at that point it don’t matter, you’re gonna trust me and Keesha, so…
Dan: wanna plan chess?
Memphis: yeah…

they head outside the HOH to play.

BB calls an inside lockdown.

Keesha: maybe they’re fixing that light.
—-right in front of Ollie. Hahah. Unsurprisingly he has nothing to say to that.
New top post when something of importance happens!
