Big Brother Craze

We went to Trivia at 4:25 pm BB time… and we come back at

So, will he? Won’t he? All that answered and more…
You know the drill, click the link after the pretty, pretty spoiler button!

And we’re back at 5:50 PM.

Jerry is talking to Dan in the HOH room, about how he’s kept his word, and he means what he says, if he’s there next week, He’ll have his back. Dan says ‘think about the story, run it through your head., that’s all I can say.’

Jerry: I appreciate that.

Jerry’s glad that Dan’s been honest with him, and it seemed like the tail end of a nice conversation. Safe to say that Jerry is on the block. Now Dan just asked Memphis upstairs….

Dan: don’t be pissed.
Memphis: I’m a little pissed - but there’s nothing I can do about it. I think you’re taking a huge risk. Renny’s a lose cannon.
Dan: Just.. I’ll get Renny. That’s my job. Do things, hold the door, stupid shit.

Dan: Did you like my speech?
Memphis: yeah…
Dan: Look. I told him that if he wins the Veto and it’s used, if he wins, then he uses it, Michelle goes up.
Memphis: What about the votes?
Dan: I’ll get Renny. I swear.
Memphis: It’s a lot to rely on the woman, Keesha said the same thing, it’s a risk.
Dan: I know. Play it up.
Memphis: I will. I am pissed! It’s a huge risk.
Dan: You know who Ollie said to put up - if I didn’t, what would have happened?
Memphis: I know, but he wins next week he puts both of us up - it’s catch 22 all day long, what could happen… this is my point. Renny is a loose cannon, and she’s being buddy buddy with Ollie! He’ll try everything, and all he needs is her.
Dan: Look - if I win the veto…
Memphis: It’s a lot riding on Renny.

Yup - The nominations are Memphis and Jerry.

Dan: Might be time to shake hands.. with them.
Memphis: Renny won’t do it! She’s trying to get through by herself. You have Keesha, best friends with her, I’m worried she won’t vote for me.
Dan: I’ll get her. I don’t give a shit, she owes me. I can do it. You think I can’t persuade her?
Memphis: I’m just saying, if I’m sitting there on Thursday, I’m not going to be confident. Ollie’s going to play that POV like it’s his last..
Dan: He thinks he’s safe!
Memphis: It’s a lot riding on.. I trust you - I don’t trust Renny. I trust Keesha. I don’t trust Renny.
Dan: We get through this week it’s a golden pass. I’ll get them to agree to an alliance with us four as final four.
Memphis: It’s not gonna happen, because Renny is so worried for herself…
Dan: Will you shake on it?
Memphis: Yes. But she won’t do it. She’ll go back…
Dan: Renny needs a horse - her legs will take her only so far. I’m a horse, your a horse, Keesha’s a horse…
Memphis: Yeah but… she’s in it for herself, you know that. Everyone should be but you can’t get there by yourself.
Dan: Me you Keesha Renny - it’s a wrap!
Memphis: I’ll get her to give me her vote.. I’m not gonna trust that… I’ll work it.

Dan: that’s the thing - if there’s an incentive too? Watch people crumble and go after the prize! Let him think they’re safe. That’s what we want.

They’re on inside lockdown.

Memphis: You know if they have it tonight, it might mean a double. You’ll know within an hour, we’ll pick players.
Dan: I’ll get Renny dude. Don’t…
Memphis: I’m not worried about you - I’m worried about when we’re sitting there, and she sees Ollie sitting there across from her, and all she has to do is switch the name. I’m sitting with Jerry, who’s the bigger threat - let’s do the math. Even with Michelle, I used to think she’d back me… but now?
Dan: Don’t mess with her as a vote.
Memphis: what do you want me to do? bank on Renny? She’s a loose cannon.
Dan: By tomorrow night, we’ll be in an Alliance.
Memphis: I don’t trust her. Even if she shakes my hand.. when backed into a wall next week, what is she going to do? All she talked about 2 weeks ago was putting A/O up, then she didn’t do it, because she wanted to put JErry up and not have Ollie pissed at her. If April had won the pov? She would have put you, me or Keesha up. You know that. It’s the same thing. She wanted to save Ollie..

Dan: Just keep making her laugh, telling her stories, use the Tennessee charm.
Memphis: Won’t work on her, dude. I can charm a hooker but..
Dan: just…
Memphis: yeah.

[...BTW - if the POV is tonight? I'd lay good odds on it being a version of the Morph-O-Matic...]

Dinnertime… and it’s… awkward. Not a lot of talk, and quite a bit of munching though as Renny made yet another fantastic looking dinner. Everyone thanks her, and digs in. And now I’m hungry too. Thanks Renny.

Dan goes to talk to Keesha, wondering if he made a mistake. She doesn’t think Jerry will go if it remains Jerry/Memphis. But there’s still the POV. Dan reminds her that Renny said she’d go with the plan. He asks if she’d shake hands with Renny, him and Memphis. And she doesn’t want to with Memphis. He points out that’s the only way - they can’t do it with just him and Keesha. Keesha is still worried he has something with Michelle, though she’s not sure if she thinks it or if she’s just been told that so much. She’s worried because she’s worried because he never says Michelle’s name to go up. She likes him, and thinks they need him - if it was MIchelle and Memphis, it’d be easy.

Renny joins.
Dan: What do you think, Renny?
Renny: was that his wishes?
Dan: What do you think?
Renny: Memphis. So he wanted Michelle protected?
Dan: I’m not going to tell you - but you’re a smart woman.
Keesha It’s obvious.
Renny: That’s the deal you made…

Renny: So waht do you think?
Dan: I need to count on you this week, big time.
Keesha: Dan - did you ask him if he had an alliance with Michelle?
Dan: yeah.
Keesha: he said no?
Dan: Yeah - I asked him many ways, and I wasn’t listening to what he was saying, I was watching his face, his gestures.
Renny: Why you looking at me like that?
Dan: Because I need you this week.
Renny: That leaves Keesha and me in a compromising position.
Dan; How?
Renny: Michelle’s not up there.

Renny: it’s crunch time.
Keesha: Now we know Ollie and Michelle are in an alliance together.
Dan: If you know he’s fighting for you next week - would you keep him?
Keesha: but you don’t know - have to wait until after the POV. There’s so many what ifs… then you know..
Renny: you said no way…
Dan: Not for that - he said I was safe, and drop. I said no way to that. I had to get him to drop.
Renny: (reluctantly) I guess I have to go that route, and see what happens…

Fish, then…

Renny: Dude, you know I’m gonna go down fighting. One of them coming up, I have it nailed. Won’t tell you which one…
Keesha: What if Memphis wins POV and takes himself off the block?
Dan points toward Michelle’s bed and waves bye-bye.
Renny: What? you’d have to put her up!
Dan nods and shrugs: Whoops?
Renny: If you screw me… you won’t have a good life!
Dan: I need to count on you…
Renny: You need to count on us - that guy don’t win squat!
Dan: I’m doing what’s best for us… I need to count on you.
Renny: You need to quit saying that! Actions speek louder then words!
Dan: I’ll quit being honest then (cheesy grin) I didn’t put you up, or Keesha up!
Renny: I know how this game works… lie lie lie.. snake snake snake..
Dan: You just have to be a snake charmer.
Renny: that’s wife.

Keesha: Memphis stays - next week, who would he put up?
Renny: Me and Keesha!
Dan: No way! Ollie and someone else - and you only need two votes! He puts you up, me and Keesha decide. He puts me up, you two decide!
Renny: what about Michelle
Dan: She might not be here…

Renny: You could be lying to me.
Dan: about WHAT?!
Renny: I swear to god, Actions speak louder then words!
Dan: What do I have to lie about!
Renny: If you sell me out.. I swear to god..
Dan: Renny! What have they done for me? nothing! What have you done? Not put me up!

Dan: if the Veto is used. I’m not putting you up, not putting her up. That leaves…
Keesha; what did Jerry say?
Dan: He was like I’m sorry, blah blah blah, and I was like you gave me a lot of reason to put you up.

Memphis joins - while Ollie and Michelle are pretending not to be talking in the poodle room. He lets them know Ollie’s been parked outside for like 20 minutes. He walks out again..

Keesha: I’ve caught him before.
Dan: I know O’s gonna come after you. Renny, you can’t… I don’t like those eyes.. (renny makes a face)
Renny: if you fuck me.. i swear to GOD….

Lots of hand gestures and stuff - then she gives him a hug first, holding on for a while. Dan leaves, and it’s super stealth whisper for Renny/Keesha.

Keesha: What gets me is that Ollie asked if we could team up to get Michelle/Memphis out - now he’s with her and makes a deal to keep her in?
Renny: Oh god…

Dan/Michelle are whispering, laughing, and generally sitting pretty - though they keep hiding the fact they’re talking.

Dan and Memphis go upstairs to play chess.
Memphis: I had to rip on you for that red shirt..
Dan: Oh man. I don’t wanna ask.
Memphis: can’t talk about it.
Dan: S’ok. I got you on a few things too. (He pretends to be shaking a drink)
Memphis: All in good fun, man! It’s funny..
Dan: that’s messed up…

Downstairs - Ollie: They’d never think that you’d use the POV on jerry.
Michelle: I know.. it protects all three.
Ollie: I’m gonna try and win it. He can’t put one of us up. If he does I’m gonna kill him.

Ollie: Renny asked me if I made a deal to keep you safe - I said I don’t know what you’re talking about, Renny.

Dive under the covers again.

Michelle: So? what’s it to her?
Ollie: They wanted to know, because one of them is going up if someone comes down.
Michelle: oh….

Ollie goes to talk to Jerry:
Ollie; First off - I told you. Second, what did Dan say?
Jerry: (didn’t catch it)
Ollie: They’re counting on the fact that it’ll be a tie, and I already told him that if he did that, it’d be stupid to keep Mephis for the end game. I’m going to try my best to win POV - if we win, I’ll take you off, you’ll take yourself off, Michelle will take you off.
Jerry: He’s acting like an asshole.. (Memphis or Dan, not sure..)

Then back to Michelle:
Ollie: We need to win POV. He and Memphis are like this.. he’s counting on being the tiebreaker vote. They effed with the wrong person. I’m glad I didn’t win HOH now.
Jerry walks by, hand bumbs with Ollie kisses Michelle, and says “what will be, will be..” with a smile.

Ollie: Renny’s going to go up, and we’ll save her. I’m going to tell her that.
Michelle: After.
Ollie: After.

They quit whispering for now. Ollie and Michelle are Napping - presumably everyone else is too. Memphis and Dan are playing a friendly game of chess.

Dan and Renny are in the HOH room - and it seems that Renny is on board with the plan now. Her name for the alliance renny/dan/keesha is the Tenacious Trio. Dan promises that he’ll put Michelle up if the POV is used, without a problem.

Dan: He’ll be pissed at me but that’s a risk I have to take. I’ll feel better about Memphis if Michelle isn’t in the game. Best case is if Michelle doesn’t play in POV. I think I’m making the right decision but I won’t know until next Thursday.

Renny: Jerry goes where the power is, use that to your advantage. It’s good not to have all your eggs in one basket. This could be a good arrangment.

Renny: Why are you smiling like that?
Dan: Thinking how important this Veto is…
Renny: It could change the game. it’s crucial.

Talk moves on to personal matters…
Renny: you can’t still be worried about your job..
Dan: I wish I knew it was still there.
Renny: of course it is! Why would they get rid of you?
Dan: The religion thing. But I said I’d go to confession.
Renny: there’s nothing wrong with swearing on the bible if you mean it. Then you know you mean it.

back to the Veto.
Dan: If you win the Veto - and you make a friend in Jerry to get his vote? I wouldn’t be upset at that.
Renny: of course! It’d be good for the Tenacious Trio.
Dan: We’re willing to go far to get a win, walk through the hot coals, run through a brick wall.
Renny: Yup.

Dan: You think Jerry would vote with us, if we took him down? To get rid of Michelle?
Renny: Oh yeah. He can’t stand her! The Colonel’s been watching. The Colonel’s Hawkeye.
Dan: Yeah, but he says a lot of stuff. That’s the thing, when he says stuff? He’s like.. older. I’m like Keesha, you’re supposed to respect your elders.
Renny: But this is a game, I’ve told hims ome things, talked some smack, but this is a game. I’m sorry. He’s 20 years older then me…
Dan: Renny, you think we’re America’s couple?
Renny: (Laughs) I dunno. I think so!
Dan: We have a funny relationship.

Renny: I’ve been asked about it. Said yes - we have a relationship - platonic. I think we made the connection because you’re the same age as my son.
Dan: Does he aggravate you?
Renny: Oh yeah. Of course. And there’s the football thing…
Dan: I still want to read that letter.
Renny: I want you too.

They talk some more about Renny’s son, and how Renny stuck up for him with a bad coach, and Coach Tubs being a great coach, a class act. Just bonding time for the two of them again. (Which is good - gotta keep her on his side to have this week go as planned!)

As she gets called to the DR - he asks her how to make a bubble bath. She shows him which stuff to put in, and nags that his swimming suit needs to be washed. Memphis comes in - and she finishes her story about her son, and then she heads to the diary room.

Haha! He put his basketball hoop on the wall next to the bathtub, says he’s gonna play ‘bath ball’.

Memphis: you wanna get in the tub and play ball?
Dan: You want snacks or something?
Memphis: you like weird shit dude.
Dan: Want some chocolate?
Memphis: I don’t eat chocolate.
Dan: and I’m the weird one? Who doesn’t eat chocolate?

Back to the chess table.

Dan tells Keesha and Memphis he’ll be taking a bathing suit bubble bath, and they’re welcome to come. NOT get in, but come. They can play bath basketball with him.

Keesha: thanks for the invite daaaaaaaan. You’re such a brat.
Dan: Did you miss me last night?
Keesha: I always miss you, Dan. I couldn’t sleep without you.
Dan: How’d you live the past 30 years?
Keesha: I know.
Memphis: Then she was like snoring? and We went RENNY! and told her she was snoring, and she was like “how do you know it wasn’t Memphis?” and I was like because I’ve been awake this whole time!

Dan: Well, you know where I’ll be. So I expect to see you in a little while.
Keesha: in your bubble bath?
Dan: CLOTHED. Seriously Memphis, you have to come up and shoot some hoops with me.
Keesha: yeah Memphis. Bring your trunks!
Dan: I’ll leave the door unlocked.

(Omg. They are all so cute together. Like… Puppy cute.)
Dan leaves.

Memphis: Why does my live have to rest in the hands of this one right here? (Points to Renny’s bed..)
Keesha: it might not. You might win POV.

Memphis: What if Ollie wins and takes Jerry down? that could easily happen.
Keesha: I don’t know.

Memphis: I just don’t trust her. (Renny)
Keesha: Someone has to get the POV. I have a feeling it’s going to change. It’s so important.
Memphis: I don’t know. Whatever. The thing about it is though - what does Renny care if I stay?
Keesha: We have to make her care.

Speak of the devil -here comes Renny.

Memphis: that last grape was sour. That was quick.
REnny: no way, that was forever!
Keesha: Dan informed me that He’s taking a bubble bath and said I could come up, but I couldnt’ come in, I could go talk to him. I was like. Thanks Dan. ANd he was like, well, it sucks to take a bubble bath with no one to talk too…
Memphis: I say we all go up there and make fun of him.
Renny: lets go! Does he have a swimsuit on or something?
Keesha: Yeah, he said he was.
Renny: let me go first! He leave the door unlocked?
Keesha: I’ll be up in a while.

Renny and Memphis head up.
Renny: I thought you were in the bath!
Dan: It takes forever to fill up. I think I havent’ been in a bathtub since like, 3rd grade.

Renny raids his goody stash, Memphis listens to his CD.

Renny: So why you getting in now?
Dan: So I can play Bathketball!
Renny: haha! That’s funny!

Dan invites her to join him. She shoots, trying to get a basket. He’s coaching her. Tells him to practice. He’s worried about bubbles, if it’s enough.

Renny: Yeah. if you have a swimsuit on, it doesn’t matter!

They’re playing ball - and being completely cute together, as usual.

Dan: Oh! I have ducks to play with too! Nice!
Memphis: number one is good! My kind of music!
Dan: you should listen after Memphis, Renny. Get you some new school.

Still discussing about the POV and if it’s tonight.. there’s been no announcement, and they haven’t picked players yet. They don’t know. They just remembered that the hockey POV was the night April made Noms.. so it might be tonight.

Dan gets in the bath: I feel like a little kid again!

While everyone is upstairs watching Dan play his Bathketball - Ollie tells Michelle and Jerry that he gets to pick who goes up if POV is used.

Ollie: this is my way to make sure - and if it’s 2-2, this is three people saying we won’t put you up if you vote one of your own out, otherwise the two of us are coming after you.
Jerry: Memphis is up there, already.
Michelle: So if I win, and take off Jerry, he won’t back door you, and same for me?
Ollie: Yeah, that’s the deal. 2/3 of the deal is done. I’m going to try to win it. Just so you know where we’re out - the deal isn’t done. If he crosses me, I swear hell will be unleashed on him. I’m not threatening, I’m just saying. I’m gonna kill’im. He turned on the house once, he won’t do it again.

Upstairs, Memphis/Renny/Keesha are having fun teasing Dan while he takes his bath. He names the rubber duckies keesha and renny and has them fighting to the death to take a bath with him. He makes the Keesha ducky say “I would never ever hurt you Renny, except for this, I want a bth with Dan!” and the Keesha ducky jumps into the tub.

Keesha: You’re such a dork.
Dan: Oh Keesha.
Keesha: Oh Dan.
Renny: We’re having the time of our life. Watching a 24 year old take a bath with rubber duckies.

Downstairs, Jerry tells Ollie/Michelle that if he comes off, one of them is going up.
Ollie: we’ll see.
Jerry: he has the tiebreaker. He has us by the balls.

Ollie says he’ll make him swear on Monica’s life, his mom and dad, his family…

Ollie: If he does me dirty, I’m gonna kill him.
Jerry: he already did once. I did him dirty once.
Ollie: If he does, I’m gonna kill him.
—Nice glass house there, Ollie. Remember back, way back, first week… you sold Dan and Brian out for a piece of ass… No? We do… just sayin’.

Michelle is all giddy at the thought of winning POV and shocking everyone by taking Jerry off the block. They break up…

Ollie: trust me on this one.
Jerry: It’s a long week.
Ollie: Just trust me.

Upstairs:
Renny: want me to wash your bath while I’m up here?
Dan: no!
Renny: it needs washed!
Dan: fiiiiiiiiiine.

Memphis is cracking up. “Now you have to wash his front!”

Keesha returns
Memphis: she’s washing his back!
Keesha; nuh uh!
Dan: You have your suit on?
Keesha: yeah.
Renny: she’s not gonna get in that funky water!

More talk about the POV
Memphis (laughing): Since I’m SO CONFIDENT in your alls votes, I’m gonna take prizes.

Lots of good-natured laughter and playful banter going on.

Dan: so, when Paris has kids can I call you Gramma Renny?
Renny: yeah.
Dan: how about senior citizen renny
Renny: (dirty look)
Dan: when do you get the discounts?
REnny: I do now, for AARP.
Memphis: They’ll never let me be a member. They’ll hunt me down.
Renny: Why?
Memphis: I threatened Jerry!

Dan: Ollie jumped up. LIke he was gonna stop you if you swung.
Memphis: Yeah, take him out in the process.
Dan: I’m a lover not a fighter. I’m opposite of Memphis!
Memphis: I’m a lover and a fighter!
Dan: No your not.
Memphis: ok, so I love to fight. How’s that?

Talk about Jerry’s gold bars…
Keesha: He said he would never use them
Memphis: He’s an idiot then I’ll win POV, and get Jerry to pay me to use it on him.
Renny: (sarcastic) That’d be the best move in BB history.

Memphis: Top reality tv blow ups - Keesha! I’M THE CRAZY PERSON!
Keesha: Yeah, thanks for taking my wine glass, people.
Renny: I tried. give me the wine glass darlin - it doesn’t have anything in it… (fake cries)
Keesha: (laughs) I know.. I was all in there crying… theeeeey’re sooooo meeeeeeean!

Renny’s imitating her again, the Barbie bitch comment. And how she talked to Jessie too. Funny stuff - see what you all miss without the feeds? Everyone’s laughing (especially me). They can’t wait to watch all of them.

HOH party breaks up when Dan gets called to the DR - they try to convince him to bring the Rubber Duckies in with him. He declines, but does wear his HOH robe - or not. He nixed it and put clothing on. They told him not to wear it (I smell POV player Picking!) so he put his shirt on. Memphis gives him hell..

Memphis: They said put on that same shirt. You always wear it.

Jerry goes through where Michelle and Ollie are and tells the same ole story about Keesha and Memphis making plans to party in Tahoe (the conversation was actually that Tahoe would be a fun place for Memphis to take Ashley, his GF.)

Ollie: April wants Keesha out. I’m gonna win HOH and put her up. He better follow through, or I’m coming after him.

And this screen cap is for Kevin, who thinks Renny is beyond adorable. *L* I, of course, agree.

10:00 PM: They got alcohol - two beers and a glass of wine… hm.
Renny: We won’t be having a competition if they’re giving us alcohol.
Michelle: Maybe. Maybe not.

More fun:
Keesha: Aww, I think Dan is cute!
Dan: I think you think I’m more then cute!
Keesha: ah. I don’t think he’s cute anymore.

Ollie and Michelle are still holed up in the Poodle room - telling bad jokes. Dan to the DR again.

General chitchat in the kitchen, about races, and murderers, CSI evidence, etc.

BB: Please go to the diary room
Renny:…WHO?
BB: Ollie. Please go to the diary room.

(Ok, starting a new top post… this one is 18 miles long. )
