Big Brother Craze

It’s a typical Sunday in the Big Brother House, which means manscaping, haircuts by Renny, suspicious behavior declared by Michelle, and a couple convos here and there that bear repeating.

It also means there will be a show recap tonight, in just a few hours, too, in which we’ll get to see the Food Competition, as well as the Nominations as we rewind our thinkings for just an hour and see how AGP decided to edit this week. Oughta be interesting!

In the meantime, here’s the cut, and ya’ll know what to do with it, if you want more!

Dan spent some time hiding under the coffee table, intending on scaring some folks, but it didn’t work. Renny found him - though he did say he was on camera strike, that’s why he was down there. Hahah! Speaking of Dan, his “suspicious behavior” continued when a ring that Michelle had been looking for reappeared suddenly in her drawer, on top of her makeup bag. She’d looked through it several times, and when she asked Dan about it, he asked if she found it in her drawer, or her makeup bag and OMG HE KNOWS WHERE I KEEP MY MAKEUP? He must be America’s Player, ya’ll! because, you know, it couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that Michelle goes for her makeup bag twice a day… right? Right.

Further damning AP evidence is that Dan gave Renny back her sleep mask, which was found between her matresses! Dan must have hidden it and just decided to give it back! Except that it was Memphis who found it when he flipped Dan/Renny’s mattress on the floor as a joke on Dan. Heh. But whatever. At this point, I think Dan should get like $50 bucks every time Michelle goes “HE’S AP!” He’d be rich in no time!

Dan finally let Renny cut his hair, and is lucky she didn’t shave him bald as he gave her a hard time through the whole thing - all in fun, of course. There was much laughter, and the end result is excellent. It must have been the prayer Dan did throughout - or the fact that Renny takes pride in he work and opted not to scalp him as she threatened. Either way, they were happy.

As was Memphis as Michelle shaved his back.
Dan: Mixologist by day, werewolf by night, Memphis.

Heh.

A/O and Michelle have decided that Dan owes April his vote. Yeah. Because she saved him. (Not sure when this saving happened, but whatever.) They tell Michelle that keeping April there is best for them, and they should know that. it’s best for Michelle too. They figure they can tell Dan they won’t put him up, then that’s three that won’t put him up if they get the next HOH.
—-Vs. 4, maybe 5 on the other side. Hm. Yup, definitely best to keep April. Not.

Outside, Memphis/Dan/Keesha were wondering why no one’s talked to Dan yet about using the Veto. They feel they both must think they’re going home.
Dan: They both have money. Come talk to meeee….

Dan gets his wish a little while later, as he gets that One on One talk he asked Jerry for. They ’sneak’ into the storage room one at a time. Once there, Jerry says he doesn’t have anything for Dan, but he wanted to apologize for the Judas comments. And only that comment, so that it would be ‘taken off the table’ when Dan considers what he’s going to do with the POV. He says it came from his street fighter mentality. Dan admits he didn’t understand why Jerry took it so personally, and Jerry says again that he was hurt. Not hateful, just pissed.

Jerry: It’s coming off thet able. I’m taking it off the table.

Dan asks how he feels about this week, and Jerry tells him he feels he has a good chance because April has built a bad situation and he kept his word last week, he could have used the veto on Libra, and Dan go up.

Jerry: Now I’m alone. I’m counting on your side, I’m going to have to protect you guys.
Dan: In the HOH, I picked you because you said that. You made it easy.
Jerry: I knew that, but I’m hoping I can count on you and Memphis this week, because Michelle disowned me. If you guys keep me, you’ve gained another alliance because Michelle is still strong.
Dan: I didn’t take it personally, because we did have an alliance.
Jerry: It would have been different if you would have told me, or asked me to go with you. I still like you, you’re one of the kids.
Dan: I hope when we’re out of here, we’re cool.
Jerry: I’m a street fighter, it hit me hard and it was nasty. I was wrong, for that part of what I said, I’m sorry.
Dan: I appreciate that.

Hands shake, and they’re all good.

Then, Michelle uses her spidey senses again, and pops into the poodle room, just long enough for April to be all OMG you know what I just saw! at her. She told her she thinks Dan/Jerry were arguing for 20 minutes because she ‘caught’ Jerry and Dan going into the storage room to talk.

April: They went into the Doom Room, then Dan came out, and looked right at me. Then Jerry came out, and I smiled at him. Jerry went to the Storage room, and then I heard Dan go in there a few minutes later!

Michelle: Good to know, thanks.

And Michelle headed outside, and caught a moment alone with Dan. She asked him straight up what he’s going to do with the POV. Dan tells her that he wants her to know - and just between them - that he’s not gonna use the Veto, no matter how crazy his speech is. Michelle does the ‘do what’s best for you’ dance, and they discuss it being numbers. Do this, how many will be happy, vs. how many would be pissed. They talk a little bit about the pitfalls of using the veto and Dan goes for the earning her trust move, but letting her know if she asks him anything straight out, he’d answer honestly.

Ollie/April come out, and gametalk stops, until Michelle moves away and April moves in to talk quietly at poolside.

April: it seems it always comes down to Dan.
April: I just have such a big heart, and it sucks, why am I being targeted? He could have won his third POV in a row!
(Can’t hear very well - it’s by the pool.)

April: Yeah, Ollie said, you know we need to make a point to let you know that you keep me in, you’d have safety with us.

(She’s using her syrupy sweet I’m just a pretty nice girl voice, and I want to smack her.)

April: Let me know if there’s anything I can give you, or promise you, or say to make you feel safe…
Dan: I’m thinking about, I was told the POV is tomorrow, so I’m just, you know..

April: I did attack Libra, I did. But she attacked me first, and I have to protect myself. That’s the only fights I’ve been in, you know, is protecting myself.

She moves on from POV to campaigning for votes.. April said outright that she has Michelle’s vote, and if she can get Dan’s vote… she’s done nothing to anyone, and it sucks being on the block, anything she HAS done has been other people’s fault. It could be Ollie, April and Michelle trying to win the next HOH and they’d protect Dan if he kept her in.

Talk turns to how she can see herself marrying Ollie, and it wouldn’t be fair to have to turn against him, someone she cares about - and Ollie might talk to him later, and Dan can talk to her anytime. Then talk of laying out, and April heads off, leaving Dan alone in the pool. and how April hasn’t been tanning because she keeps burning her face and she doesn’t want any color in her face.

Here comes Renny! Dan thanks her for the haircut, and that he’s been getting compliments. She’ll be famous for his haircut. General chit-chat all the way around, so it’s time to publish this puppy!

After a lot of awkward silence in the backyard, Renny finally asks Dan if he’ll come up and talk to her in HOH - then realizes she doesn’t have her key. She’s off to find it, ask DR if they’ll open up for her as Dan drys off. As she comes in, Michelle wants to talk to her later - she says sure, she just needs to talk to Dan right now.

Renny gets her key back - and while Dan is soaking up some sun outside, she pulls Keesha to HOH first.

Renny: All these people are scaring the sh*t outa me.
Keesha: I know. I don’t think you’re anyone’s target from the conversations I’ve heard anyway.I’m more of a target than you. If there’s a target on us, I’d go first.
Renny: I think they’d put us up together on the block. They’re all scary. Memphis is walking around.. he’s cocky as sh*t, you know? It pisses me off. So is Michelle. Like they got the game wrapped up.
Keesha: put those two up together… that’s one thing I notice, when they get overly confident. I don’t like that.

Renny: I don’t think the colonal is going to win a lot of HOHs. POVs, yeah, but not HOHs.
Keesha: Yeah, Jerry might have our back more then most.
Renny: He’ll go with the HOH. He scares me too.
Keesha: If i was to get it next week? I have no idea who I’d put up.
Renny: I hope it wouldn’t be me!
Keesha: Oh yeah (sarcastic) you’d be the first one. I don’t know, it’d be a strong player for sure. I don’t think I’d do what everyone else is saying, not Jerry or Ollie. But you never know until it comes… everything changes so fast around here. I think Memphis and Michelle are trying to take each other to the end.
Renny: That’s what I think. And they brought Dan into it.
Keesha: I think they’re using Dan.
Renny: I don’t care.
Keesha: I do think it’s M/M taking each other to the end.

Michelle comes up - and says she has a question.
Michelle: Does Jerry know he’s leaving, think he’s safe?
Renny: Jerry doesn’t know shit.
Michelle: Ok. Do you think the guys know that they’re keeping Jerry, but using him and telling him that they’re talking to him and saying, you know, if we keep you - you keep us safe? I been thining that, which if one guy, and the other… I been thinking about this all day, they could be saying if I vote for you, you don’t vote for us next week, and where does this leave us? I’m just asking Renny’s opinion, because I been thinking bout that. Have you?

Renny: He’d do anything those guys say, you think that?
Michelle: Yeah. Ever since we was here yesterday, and Dan was sitting there quiet quiet quiet… They can promise them something that’s already done, where would that leave us? I mean, I’m not saying they’ve done that, but what if one of them, both of them? Jerry never hangs outside, and he’s doing that.
Renny: He hangs outside.
Michelle: Not in the morning, but every morning you know Memphis will be out there every morning. Now Jerry is out there too. I dunno, I just want you’re opinion of what you think of that… think about it like this. Who hands Jerry the most? Dan and Memphis. What would be so crazy enought o go say hey Jerry, no one would ever think we’re together because we hate each other?
Renny: what, you want Dan to use the veto?!
Michelle: No.. no.. I’m just saying…
Keesha: yeah, because just because they keep him here…
Michelle: I know, I’m just sayin’…

They figure they’d take Jerry to the end, not any of them, because Michelle is strong, Keesha is liked, it’d be perfect to go to Jerry.

Keesha; I don’t think they have.
Michelle: I’m not saying they have -it just seems he’s walking around knowing something. Because he hasn’t come up here and asked me anything. I mean. Neither of them have.
—nice backtrack there, Michelle.
Renny: Jerry didn’t even come up here before I did nominations!

Michelle: He needs the guys, he knows that. I’m not saying that it happened? I don’t know.. just giving you the scenario…

Renny: Memphis’d take Dan to the end. He’d have a better chance against him then you.
Keesha: If you’re liked, it’s scary, and all three of us are liked, know what I mean?

Michelle: like yesterday - just an observation, hoping you don’t go say anything because we need to stick together. Ollie was making slop, and we were in the kitchen, and Dan, Jerry, Memphis were outside. I was about to go outside with my wine, and Dan comes in, then 2 seconds later, Jerry, then Memphis. not saying they were doing anything, but…
Keesha: Oh we know, we all have our suspicions. It’s good we’re talking, I never figured it was girls against guys, but I wouldn’t want it to go that way.
Michelle: I think they’re using.. I mean, I have this feeling. I think Jerry needs to go…
Renny: Jerry will go with the HOH
Michelle: what happens if he gets HOH? he won’t put Ollie out, he’d put two girls up. Two of us three.

–Well, at least it’s a different tact for the Paranoia Triplets.

Renny: So you saying to keep the Colonel?
Michelle: oh no, I’m saying.. I’m just putting it out there.
Keesha: are you saying right now Jerry should go?
Renny: If they’re making deals?
Keesha: But you don’t know…
Renny: I guarentee he is… you don’t think?

Keesha: Ok, I’m gonna throw this out there, if we keep April…
Michelle: You think she’d go for it if we tell her not to say anything, and have her go for the guys? What if we have her up here and promise each one of us?
Keesha: It doesn’t matter… she could say..
Michelle: I dunno, I dunno. I’m just saying, if they’re making deals..
Renny: You think Memphis should go?
Michelle: I dunno, I dunno, if it should be Dan or Memphis… and I heard that someone said that Dan was in the storage room for 25 minutes with Jerry.
Keesha: He was, they were tlaking about POV
Michelle: Oh really? Does that make any sense after what he did last week? If they’re not making deals? I’m just saying… why not make a deal with her and utilize… it always comes to Dan..
Keesha; I don’t trust her.
Michelle: i dunno, Im just sayin…
Renny: let me talk to Keesha.

She leaves and Renny starts whispering big time
Michelle: She wants Dan to go, Jerry to go, she has a deal with memphis.
Keesha: she’s trying to get April to stay! Listen to her! She wants Memphis and Dan out.. it’s her April and Ollie! I guaruntee you!
Renny: she didn’t say Memphis name. Only from Aprils POV.
Keesha; She’s throwing both of them under the bus! Listen to what she said! Listen! She is always whispering with ollie/april!
Renny: she only said Memphis name.. only with April.
Keesha: I know what she’s doing! She’s trying to convince me to keep April in - that would be so stupid for me to do! I know what she’s doing. She’s putting it out there ‘no no that’s not what I’m saying’… she’s got a deal with Ollie and April. And trying to say Jerry has a deal with Dan/Memphis. I know they were in the storage room, Dan told me! He comes to me and tells me EVERYTHING. She doesn’t know that though, and tried to use that.
Renny: umhm. I trust Dan so far.
Keesha: yeah… so far.
Renny: to a point.

And here comes Dan The Man.

Dan: what’s wrong?
Keesha: Nuthing.
Dan: don’t lie!

Renny: I was curious what you said yesterday about taking Jerry off the block. Why you said that?
Dan: I just wanted to say what would have happened. I mean I have the POV… nothing to be conserned about, what did I say before that?
Renny: But you wanted to know who I’d put up… what you wouldn’t want me to put up who I said?
Dan: you wouldn’t say.
Renny: what do you think of the colonel.
Dan: He’s the next to go. He still hates me, i think.
Renny: What about Michelle.
Dan: I consider myself neutral with Michelle. Nothing bad to say about her, she could have put me up, but didn’t. I din’t want to scare you, at all - asked you if you were concerned.
Renny: No, I was just thinking about it. Everyone is running around, some like they’re so safe and stuff. You know. What if I told you someone wants to keep APril?
Dan: I’d say it’s the HOHs… I mean is it in your best interest?
Renny: Did I say that?
Dan: No, I’m just not the one making the call. I’m still under the impression you want her to go, right?
Renny: yup.
Dan: what’s up with you, Keesha?
Keesha: Nothing
Dan: I can tell on your face!

Renny: I know people think about who’d they should take to the end, walking around thinking I’m gonna take one, and gonna cut them off in the end. So… Just a game.
Dan: I think it’s awfully presumptions to think I need to take one to the end, there’s 8 people left, you know what I mean?
Keesha: if you got HOH, you wouldn’t put us up there would you?
Dan: No, not at all. Is there something I need to know about?
Keesha: No, I’m just asking. I hope you knwo I woudln’t put you up.
Dan: I know. Why would you think I would?
Keesha and Renny both: oh no, we don’t just asking.

Keesha: Did April talk to you about keeping you? Jerry too?
Renny: oh, Jerry approached you himself? Did April offer you gold
Dan: She didn’t give me a dollar amount, put it like that.
Keesha: did jerry offer you money?
Dan: nope.
Keesha: you talking about changing your mind?! That little smirk
Dan: Nope. I told them both I’m willing to hear what they have to say, you know?
Keesha: of course, they have a right to talk to you.
Renny: I know Jerry likes the idea of the guys sticking together.
Keesha: I dunno, he told me he wanted to take the girls.
Renny: He has a big mouth too.

Keesha: I’m a little concerned.
Dan: about?
Keesha: not about this, I mean I know if she stays, I’m going up.
Dan: yeah, I didn’t know that feeling until Jerry went off.
Keesha: exactly.

Renny: So, if you want HOH, you’d want Jerry gone, right?
Dan: Most likely, I’d want him up, yeah.
Renny: and who else?
Dan: I don’t know. I told Jerry that in the eliminator he made it easy. Are you concerned?
Renny: No, I’m just tlaking to people, a lot of people come up here….

Keesha: Well, I mean, iw ould hope that you wouldn’t use it.
Dan: So that’s what you’re concerned about.
Keesha: no, well, I mean.. I’m also concerned about next week.
Renny: We don’t know what’ll happen.
Keesha; yeah, it doesn’t matter what he think, plan… it might not go that way. If April stayed, without a doubt, I’d be going up.
Renny: She’s going.
Keesha: I wouldn’t be so 100% sure on that. The minute you do, that’s when you get screwed over.
Renny: then I’d have to flip the house…
Keesha: but you’re control is over at this point.
Renny: I think I could work something.

Keesha: I’m going to straight up ask you. Are you going to use the POV?
Dan: Didn’t you ask me before? What did I tell you?
Renny: She’s just worried.
Dan: At this point, I think the only alliance is April/Ollie.
Keesha I don’t have one, there’s people I like, there’s a few I’d like to trust, two in this room, but I have no alliance.
Renny: people aren’t going to tell you they have an alliance. They want to save their own ass.
Dan: I don’t see any apparent ones, save A/O

Renny: I keep asking what you have with Memphis
Dan: Yeah, and there’s the misconception…
Renny: I mean, I know you talk to him and stuff..
Dan: I am trying to explain? people forget what happened.. he threw me under the bus with Angie. Do I like him? Yeah, he’s the one I could get along with. Do I trust him? Hell no. Would I trust him as part of a bigger team? Maybe.
Keesha: because you want the same kinda people out.
Dan: Yeah.
Renny: we’re all targets. Luck of the draw. Can’t think too far ahead.
Dan: That’s what I was saying about bringing who you want to the finals - there could be twists involved, it’s a long way away.

Dan: the only thing Memphis and I have agreed on is that we have a common target. If you ask him though, I’d be interested in what he has to say.
Renny: Memphis is a thinker.
Keesha: it sucks now dude, we’re really getting down there.

Renny: We’ll see how it plays out.
Dan: I have a feeling it’ll be a long night tonight.
Renny: hope they don’t turn on me.
Keesha: I don’t think they would.
Dan: Who offered they wouldn’t come after you?
Renny: You two..
Keesha: Ollie?
Renny: oh no. I like Ollie. As a person. I don’t think he’s competitive. I don’t consider him a big threat. There’s other people.

Talk turns to final three, and if you had someone you liked vs. someone you didn’t to choose from, how it’d turn out, what they’d do, all the things to think about, and then Renny thanks them for talking and shoos them out.

Keesha and Dan go to the Spa. Memphis says hi, then leaves.

Keesha: I’m starting to freak out. I don’t believe that Ollie didn’t ask her…
Dan: Now she knows we’ve talked about the POV, know what I mean?
Keesha: oh, I didn’t think about that…
Dan: She didn’t ask me about me and him before.. I dunno..
Keesha; She asked me about you and Memphis.
Dan: I like him, that’s the thing, but..like I said, I trust him in the fact we both want Jerry out, but that’s about as far as I trust him. It’s just at the begining of the week I thought this.. (Holds up four fingers) was a lot closer….
Keesha: me too!
Dan: and it’s her.. (points upstairs) fault. I was gonna ask her why she didn’t put up Ollie, but it’s not worth it.
Keesha: She likes him.
Dan: I know.. but…

Dan: I wonder who she was talking about, wanting April to stay..
Keesha: who do you think?
Dan: she said..
Keesha: Yeah, there is. It has me frustrated. I don’t -know- for sure but… it’s hard to say what’s going through some peoples minds. Remember you asked me about Michelle, where she stood. Where does she stand?
Dan: I don’t know.

Keesha; She (Renny) is um… then she started getting weird about me, with you two in the room, but maybe that’s normal. I think her and Ollie mght have something. I dunno, but it is a possibility.
Dan: I mean, if he asked her, that’s ok, but why wouldn’t she tell us?
Keesha: Exactly!
Dan: I don’t think Renny would come after me… I just dunno if I can trust her.
Keesha: I’m not 100% myself, anymore, about anything.

April went to the bathroom, michelle followed.
Keesha: Why ahsn’t April walked back out?
Dan: There was no sink run either…

April walks out. Michelle doesn’t April walks back in…

Dan: Still waiting on another name from Renny.
Keesha makes a face, and nods.

Michelle finally walks out, another face by Keesha.

Keesha: You wouldn’t change your vote for April to stay would you?
Dan: no. She made things so hard this week.
Keesha: I know!
Dan: Why is she thinking about final two?!
Keesha: I don’t know!

Renny joins in them in the spa and takes over the massage chair. Silence. Keesha leaves, Renny asks about how many vots would be needed next week to get someone to say, and mouths

Renny: I think Memphis and Michelle have something.

Dan whispers, and I can’t hear it - Renny says “She’d put YOU up.. Never, never!” so I think that Renny believes Michelle wouldn’t put Memphis up, but would put Dan up. Hard when Dan’s not facing my way so I can’t read his lips. *L*

Renny: She’d put YOU up before Memphis.

Keesha and Michelle talk briefly, but we come in in the middle and they’re whispering…

Briefly - Ollie and April were talking/fighting outside. April is certain the POV won’t be used, and equally certain that “they” threatened him into not using it. Ollie says it’s Dan’s call, and they’d probably put Ollie up in Jerry’s face, because he’d be a vote to keep April. Ollie says he’s worried about bb interfering on the deel he made with Renny, dropping hints for her not to trust him, then we get fish. We come back to watch Michelle curl her hair, and April go back to bed.

—Everyone’s starting to slow down, so I think I’m gonna take a few minutes to get ready for tonight’s showtime, etc. If they start talking game again, I’ll update - otherwise see ya up top for the recap!
