Big Brother Craze

5:17 BB Time: Michelle, please come to the diary room.

Then Bubbles.

5:37 PM Trivia! It’s Nomination time, and you know what THAT means! Yup, it’s time to break out the pretty button for the first time this week! Not that it’s very much a surprise after last night - at least for one houseguest, but you know - after the cut!

For the record - before we get back to feeds, I’m pretty sure it will be Libra and Keesha. For all her talk, Michelle doesn’t have the cojones to put up April next to Libra, which would be EPIC. Oh that would make my heart go pitterpat! Memphis tried to talk to her, and nudge it that direction, but I don’t think she sees the sense in that plan (and by sense, I mean amusing as hell for us feed watchers. Can you just IMAGINE?). One from each alliance, both responsible for Jessie’s ouster, perfectly understandable for her revenge plot, and keeps her hands clean when she’s no longer HOH because hey, she was just doing what they did.

Alas - Michelle is thinking too emotionally right now, even admitting that she’s still furious before claiming she has to think with a clear head for what happens next week too. So, I think she’ll go the easy route, target Libra, put her up with keesha, and we’ll be stuck watching those two in bed, whining, all week. Ugh.

6:56 PM - we’re back and…

…no fireworks. Just Dan sitting in the hippie room with Libra and Keesha. April is smiling, and talking to Michelle, so she’s not up. Leebra with ‘it is what it is, don’t let them see you upset.’ Means she’s up, which we we figured. And I’m pretty sure Keesha is the other nomination.

yup - confirmed. Libra and Keesha are nominated.

Keesha: If she says it wasn’t personal, she’s a liar.
Renny: I told her the truth.. April’s a liar. She told Michelle we made her put up Jessie.
Libra: She told Michelle that? Oh my God… what a liar. Ya know what, guys. Whatever is is, but if I’m going, I need to see her out next.

Michelle to Memphis: Like I said, I am not going to ask for people’s words on their dog or whatever. I want them to vote for them. Obviously, if it stays the same, I figure..

Michelle: they threw the first punch, I just have a bigger punch to throw back at them. If POV is won, I’ll put the other up.

Memphis: You did it the way I wanted too. “this shit is hard for me?” It isn’t hard.

Jerry has gone up to Michelle, and already campaigning against Dan. It might be if he’s America’s Player, and can’t play HOH or win POV, there was no reason for him to make that move, none.
Michelle: If he wins POV, he’d better know not to play it.
Jerry: His name probably was never in the bag, he’s never been called for a POV.
Michelle: I’ll pull all the names out so no one can say that.
Jerry: NOw that we’re talking about it, they’ll make sure it’s there. I gave him the finger earlier and he smiled. He’s got to be playing for money.

—uh, Jerry? you’re ALL playing for money.

Michelle: He didn’t come talk to me after Noms. He should have said thank you. He’s lucky there weren’t a couple more chairs there next to those two. There’s a reason his key was last. She wanted two friends up so they know what Jessie had to go too. She wants nominations to remain the same.

Jerry: if I win it, I’ll do what you say. How do we test this Dan AP theory? It all leads back to that.
Michelle: Libra has something to do with it too.

Jerry: It’s worse, if he’s AP, he’s not calling the shots. If he isn’t, he’s a scumbag. He’s a scumbag in my eyes anyway for playing that role.
Michelle: If POV is won and used, I know who I’m gonna put up. I have a couple choices.

Dan just asked to talk to Michelle - and up they go.

Dan: thanks for not putting me up!
Michelle: You didn’t say anything before, I was shocked.
Dan: I just prefer to talk to you alone.
Michelle: what, so your alliance doesn’t see you giving me a hug?
Dan: not at all, I don’t care. I was just surprised, I thought I was going up after last night.

Dan: why?
Michelle: I’m asking myself that too, but strategic wise, this is what I had to do. I’m not going to ask you for your word, or anything. I just want you to know that if you win the Veto, and you use it, it will be a slap in my face.
Dan: Understood.
Michelle: I didn’t want to make a decision out of anger. Don’t make me regret my decision. At that point - three strikes your out.
Dan: obviously I’m surprised, but I want to take this chance to prove myself to you. Have I ever said I’m coming after you? Has anyone say that?
Michelle: no. You’ve told me otherwise, that’s why I didn’t put you up.
Dan: I know, and I know who’s pissed at me and wants me out. It’s not you.
Michelle: I know. I had to play a strategy move, take the game to them, not wait for it to come to me.

Someone’s coming up - Dan asks for 5 more minutes. It’s Renny, she grants them 5 the time.

Dan: Between me and you. I win the POV - don’t use it - can I start to rely on you a little next week?
Michelle: Like I said, I’m not after you. I’m furious still, but it’s strategy and I don’t think you want me out. I’m not stupid, I think your kinda in the same boat I am, floating, whatever, but I know you hang with them and changed your decision for them. They’re a threat to me. For me, if there were 7 chairs there, all 7 would go up.
Dan: I would not argue with that.
Michelle: She’s been a target for me she said I’m a two-headed monster, she’s the reason Jessie is gone, Angie is gone, what she said after, how she said Angie wasn’t going after Keesha but Libra and Libra convinced Keesha to put her out. She’s doing only what’s best for her. That added perfect topping to the cake to me. Keesha was honest, and told me she who she’d put up if she was me. Then the other, who promised Jessie was safe.

Dan: Who do you think is responsible for putting up Jessie?
Michelle: Keesha first. Then April. Give me the respect and don’t say it to them, because I want to say them myself.

Dan: Keesha/Renny wins Hoh next week, who would they put up?
Michelle: Me. Then April and Ollie. Keesha isn’t my target, but she’s not a pawn, she’s a treat. I hope the house.. take a step to the outside where I am and look. I personally want out.. and she knows it. Everyone does. MY first sentence - this wasn’t a surprise.

Dan: It’s an opportunity to show you something, if I can show you, I’d hope…
Michelle: Did you really think you were going up?
Dan: yeah! you’re pissed at me!
Michelle: I put yours last for a reason - I didn’t forget what you did.
Dan: Understand that. At the same time, assuming whoever leaves - I know I’m going up if one of them goes down, but assuming I stay, and I have the chance to prove myself, I want you to know I’ll benefit you in the game
Michelle: so far your on a losing track there… but I went with my gut, and I learned not to second guess that. Something stuck out yesterday - they planned this after the POV, and you jumped on to get numbers in your favor. That scares me a bit, I don’t got no numbers. For me, I don’t like the fact that technically your the biggest alliance and I don’t like that. That’s why two people in your alliance. You went back on your word, for this particular alliance and I’m still trying to figure out why.

Dan: I don’t know if I told you this yesterday, I wasn’t 100%, but I was told, that with the 7, the next thing that was said was the floaters were gone, me Jerry Renny.
Michelle: Jessie was a innocent bystander. But you alligned with them that said that.
Dan: The person that said that was the HOH at the time and it was my way of sticking it to her.
Michelle: It is what it is.

Dan: look at the four people that left, who did that benefit
Michelle: One person. That’s why she’s sitting there. If it’s not taken care of now, there’s more that will be taken out. It’s easy for me to tell people - but with no power I don’t think I should do that. I’m not gonna play that way.

Dan leaves when Renny arrives. Michelle gives the same speech, make your own decisions on who to vote out, I just hope you all see what Libra’s done. She confirmed she was coming after me after Jessie.
Renny: She gets on my nerve.
Michelle: I don’t want Keesha out.
Renny: I know - she wants Keesha out. I said to Libra, offer her your holiday and she was all F’that.

Continues in the same vein as before on Michelle’s part. She asks Renny to get Keesha to come and talk to her. She didn’t put her up as a pawn, but she doesn’t want her out at all.

Michelle: I’ll tell you honestly. I felt if I put Dan up, he’d have gone, and that’s not what I want.

Next up, after Dan makes another appearance, is Keesha.

Michelle: I ain’t gonna give you not BS. Honest to gods truth, can you give me that? I put you up because I believe you’re the only person that would insure Libra would go. April, she could go, Dan, he could go, I’ve no reason to put up Renny, you’re the only one. I know you have Renny, Memphis, maybe Dan. I know Jerry will vote LIbra, Ollie and April too. I want you to be able to be free from Libra, without her in your ear telling you lies. I’m being dead honest with you, for me - and a lot of people in this house - you’re there to make sure she leaves. I don’t want you to go.

Keesha listens, and said at the beginning that she wasn’t upset about her Nominations.

Michelle: And I just talked to Dan, who was iffy for me, and I know what he’s going to do. If you win the POV, I’ll have to put someone else up - I want you to win - but I don’t know where people would vote, but I know you have the votes to stay. It’s not as a pawn, it’s personal a bit, but you have the votes. Libra confirmed she lied to you about Angie, and every person has left because of her. It’s scary. Understand?

Keesha: I do understand. I don’t hate you MIchelle, and I don’t blame you one bit.

Keesha is a bit teary, she’s been emotional ever since finding out the earthquake was real, on top of everything else.

Keesha: I totally get it. I don’t expect to take my place, I earned it.

Meanwhile, Ollie and April laughing and saying they’ll take prizes instead of POV if offered in the comp tomorrow. Then Renny tells Dan she’s upset to be considered a floater, and also about RiceGate (she told Libra she loved chinese food and fried rice, Libra made some, didn’t offer Renny any, and hid the leftovers) Then on about Jerry, and then April and how immature they’re acting.

Keesha just asked Michelle if she saw the banner, and it’s really what it said. She says she knows Michelle is the most honest person in the house, so wants to make sure. Michelle spins her story about the Banner again - at least she sticks to her big lie, and hasn’t deviated from it at all. *L*

Libra to Dan: I just don’t understand why I have to be the fall guy.
—…snort.

Renny joined Michelle and Keesha upstairs, and she asks Michelle’s honest opinion about April as a person, Michelle evades the question and won’t answer directly, keeps going back to getting Libra out and how she doesn’t have anyone. She won’t give her opinion on April, even when Renny gives an example…

Renny: I don’t like that she doesn’t eat my food. It’s a dig at me.

Michelle just bends the conversation right back to Libra, the letter, the money, the kids, etc. It’s more of the same - anything else happens, more blowouts, etc, and I’ll open up a new post!
