For those who are watching the Live 24/7 Internet Feeds you are well aware of how important America’s Player is this week. The house has split. April, The Head of Household wants Memphis evicted this week because Memphis told April she’s his target. Since April can’t vote this week she had to get at least four votes to get Memphis evicted. She was able to get Ollie, Jerry, and Michelle’s votes. Libra, Keesha, and Renny want to vote out Jessie because each one of them have been targeted by Jessie’s numerous blowups and tantrums in the house.

Each side is banking on Dan for the deciding vote. What the houseguests don’t know is this week only Dan is America’s Player and he can’t control his own vote. Which mean, this week for the first time since Big Brother 1 we have absolute control of who stays and goes.

The polls are closed! Who did you vote for? Find out soon!

Before midnight Dan was called into the DR. He came out and asked Libra and Keesha he is nervous about Memphis. It’s possible that America voted for Memphis to get evicted. If he is called into the DR again then maybe we’ll know for sure the results.

Update II: Last night after midnight Dan made up an excuse to get back into the Diary Room. He was in there briefly. Dan wasn’t shown again on the feeds until he said goodnight to Libra, Keesha, and Renny. This morning Dan was shown eating breakfast and enjoying arts and crafts time with Jerry. He hasn’t talked game since being in the Diary Room the 2nd time.

Update III: It’s mid-afternoon and we still don’t have a good grasp how America voted. Dan created a t-shirt that says 20 that is supposed to stand for Dan and Monica’s 20th month anniversary. Dan played a silent game of chess against Jessie. Dan is now cleaning the dishes with April while talking about April’s grocery shopping habits. Dan has been hanging out with the April/Ollie/Jessie/Michelle/Jerry side of the house the most today.

Last night’s HoH Competition ended up being an endurance. The remaining houseguests were hanging off a building facade. The goal of the endurance competition was to be the last person standing on the ledge. Jerry MacDonald was fell out first. He complained about his neck being stiff and having too much upper body weight. Libra Thompson was the next person eliminated from the competition. She looked around and saw how well April Dowling and Michelle Costa were doing and decided she had enough.

During the competition Dan Gheesling was being a tad bit annoying. He was shouting out movie quotes and being a nuisance. Dan fell off about 30 minutes after Libra. Jessie Godderz was disqualified from the competition because he had his entire arm around the railing. They could only grab the pole using their hands. Bryan Ollie fell off the ledge about 30 minutes after that. Memphis Garrett was able to gash open his arm on the brick wall. He was in tremendous pain. Before Memphis jumped off the ledge he tried to make a deal with the remaining contestants. They didn’t give him a deal. Memphis jumped off. Renny Martyn was eliminated after she lost her footing and got turned around. Another rule was they had to have their back to the building at all times.

The final two were Michelle and April. Both girls were hurting pretty badly but Michelle was wearing her pain on her sleeve. Michelle looked over at April and asked how she was doing. April said that she was doing fine. Michelle then started to ask for a deal to be made. April promised that Michelle wasn’t her target. Michelle still held on. Michelle again asked for some sort of deal and April said that Jessie would be safe as well. After a couple more minutes Michelle finally jumped off the ledge and April became the new Head of Household.

April’s true target this week is Memphis. She told Ollie that she was going to target Memphis because sometime last week Memphis said that he was targeting her. April’s alliance had previously agreed that they would vote to evict whoever the head of household wanted. Keesha really doesn’t want Memphis out of the game because she believes that later down in the game he and her could align.

Before the Nomination Ceremony Dan completed the America’s Player nomination task. America had selected  Jessie to be this week’s target. Dan repeatedly asked April if she was going to put up Jessie. April reconfirmed that Jessie was going on the nomination block with Memphis.

Many of the houseguests have been speculating about Dan’s recent behavior. Some have even suggested that he is the twist this year. Libra and April have both stated they think he is America’s Player. Ooops!

The Nomination Ceremony is over!

As suspected Jessie and Memphis were nominated for eviction.

Keesha Smith, this week’s Head of Household has had her suspicions of Jessie, Angie Swindell, Michelle Costa, and Memphis Garrett for quite sometime. She begun getting an inkling that those four were in sort of an alliance when Angie miraculously floated through Jessie’s HoH reign without a scratch. She’s also been aware that Angie and Memphis have been together often in the house. And that Jessie and Michelle have been inseparable. Both Memphis and Jessie approached Keesha separately about the reasons why Angie shouldn’t be on the block. They both said something about sticking to the plan, which was to nominate Dan and Jerry MacDonald. During Jessie’s conversation with Keesha he made a hard push to get Libra nominated instead of Angie.

Keesha reaffirmed her alliance with Libra Thompson and April Dowling. She told both of them that Jessie was pushing hard for Libra’s nomination. Those three made a pact that they will never allow anyone put doubt in their heads about each other. Keesha said she was for sure going to nominate Angie and Jessie, but she needed to make sure she had the votes to get Angie out of the house. Jerry was called up to the HOH and apologized to Libra and agreed that Angie should be booted. Ollie, who has an relationship/showmance with April, quickly oblidged. Dan was also called into the HoH and made the same pledge, he would vote out Angie.

Food Competition Results

The food competition was held earlier today. The houseguests competed as pairs and their goal was to win certain foods for the house. Because it was a house competition no one was placed on slop. Among the foods that the houseguests won were beer, pigs feet, bread, pumpernickel, raisins, chicken, broccoli, beef. The houseguests did not win Wine, which upset the girls.

Before the competition began Keesha Smith began campaigning for Steven Daigle to say inside the house. She was telling Libra Thompson and April Dowling that compared to Dan Gheesling, who was also nominated, Steven is more enjoyable. She said that Steven is her friend, he makes jokes, and easier to talk to than Dan.

Keesha was called into the Diary Room. April and Libra immediately began second guessing the things that Keesha was saying. They pieced together that keeping Steven in the game would be better for Keesha because of their friendship. That wouldn’t necessarily be a good move for Libra and April they figured.

They drew chips for the Power of Veto Competition. Dan selected Houseguests choice and choose Libra. Keesha and Michelle were also randomly selected from the bag. Jessie choose Jerry MacDonald to be the host of the competition.

Michelle won the Power of Veto, Steven and Dan were eliminated earlier on in the game. At some point Keesha said she was sorry to Steven which was overheard by some of the houseguests. Keesha came in second place.

Angie Swindell went to the Diary Room with Keesha where apparently they talked about her personal problem and the upcoming eviction. Angie asked if Keesha was willing to change her vote. Keesha played along and said yes she’d be willing to keep Brian Hart. By playing along it confirmed to Keesha that Angie was being two-faced with the girls and she was going to take that knowledge to Libra and April later that night.

While Angie and Keesha were in the Diary Room Libra Thompson and April Dowling began speculating why Keesha would associate herself with Angie who has already been deemed an outcast by their side of the house. They spent a few minutes getting worked up over the situation. When Angie and Keesha left the Diary Room and Keesha wouldn’t speak to them they thought it confirmed that Keesha had turned. Libra went into the Hippie room to lay on her bed and think about Keesha’s betrayal. April went outside to Bryan Ollie and Michelle Costa to share her concerns.

Before heading outside Keesha confirmed with Jessie Godderz that he didn’t want Brian to stay. Jessie said there was no way he wanted Brian to stay. She told him that Angie and Steven Daigle would probably approach him about voting to save Brian and that he should play along. Keesha then went outside to sit in the patio area when she overheard April telling Bryan that Keesha had turned.

Jerry went into the Diary Room to again request an enema kit for Keesha’s personal problem. He went outside to tell Keesha that the request was in and that he would take her up to his room to get her ready. However April, Michelle, and Ollie were thinking Keesha was going to try and convince Jerry to switch his tie-breaker vote to keep Brian. Michelle asked, “What the matter Jerry? What’s going on?”

That’s when the sparks began to fly.

Keesha said that it was her personal problem. April said, “It’s obvious (that Keesha was switching sides)” Keesha in a fit of rage tossed her water across the yard and it hit Michelle. Throughout the fight Michelle kept asking why she got water thrown at her.

April told Keesha to go talk to Libra. Defending herself Keesha said she had reason to talk to Jerry. April said “That’s f*cked up” and Keesha responded, “Seriously, don’t talk shit about me. Don’t sit over there and f*cking talk shit about me.”

April didn’t take kindly to Keesha’s words and yelled, “Come over here then if you have a f*cking problem” as she began to run across the yard towards Keesha.

“Oh yea April I do have a big f*cking problem.”

“Well then open your f*cking problem is” yelled April.

“You have a big f*cking problem right now” Keesha yelled back.

Upset April ran inside to Libra and rehashed the entire fight to her. They were still convinced that Keesha had turned.

Back in the yard Jessie said that Brian was behind all of the drama (which in this case wasn’t true). He said that Brian is going to walk out the door on eviction night and there was no need to discuss it further.

Michelle approached Keesha and asked why she got water thrown at her. Keesha said she was throwing it in the yard and she was sorry it hit Michelle. Michelle kept asking the question over and over again even though Keesha had already answered it.

Keesha said, “Well it has nothing to do with you” to Michelle.

Michelle walked away and Keesha yelled, “To be honest, I can’t stand f*cking April. To be honest, I can’t stand the little bitch! Everytime I turn around she’s talking shit about me. Do no f*cking play me like I’m f*cking stupid right now. Everytime I turn around shit about me. She does not trust me at all. She doesn’t trust you (to Ollie). But she wants me with her. Mmmmm!! It’s like dude!”

Ollie said he doesn’t understand what’s going on.

“You are her are like this, I’m not a f*cking idiot” Keesha said while crossing her fingers. “Like seriously, everytime I’m walking into a room she’s talking shit about me. They act like I’m f*cking dumb.”

Michelle and Jessie console Keesha and say that it’s Brians fault that everyone is paranoid right now. Michelle said, “I just want to make sure we are all on the same page. We need to stick to the plan right now”

“But we are not,” Keesha quickly replied. “I’m not stupid. I know this! You (Ollie) have conversations with me and you know I’m not dumb, but they think I’m f*cking dumb”

“I know where you are coming from,” Ollie consoled to Keesha.

“Seriously, April and I don’t need to be around each other. It has nothing to do with any of you. Just keep her f*cking away from me.”

This week’s Head of Household, Jerry MacDonald nominated Jessie Godderz and Renny Martyn because they were the root of this season’s first conflict. Brian Hart pushed really hard for Jerry to make these nominations and forged an alliance with Jerry. Brian also had an alliance with Dan Gheesling and Bryan Ollie.

Sometime after the nomination ceremony Brian told Jerry about “The Brawny Boys” which is an codename for Jessie, Memphis Garrett, and Steven Daigle. Brian was leading Jerry into thinking about replacing one of the nominees with Memphis if the Power of Veto was used.

The first power of veto involved sticky substances and feathers. Jerry beat the competition and went on to win the first Power of Veto. Brian began getting the whole house to turn on Memphis, which most of them bought. Steven made an agreement with Brian. The agreement was Brian would convince Jerry not to nominate Steven and in turn Steven would pay favor to Brian later on in the game.

April Dowling and Ollie began to get close and eventually Ollie let out about his alliance with Dan and Brian. April told Libra Thompson, who rallied the rest of the house against Brian.

April, Ollie, Libra, Keesha Smith, Angie Swindell, Michelle Costa, Jessie, and Memphis confronted Jerry about Brian’s alliance with Dan and Ollie. Jerry got pissed that Brian created a sub-alliance without him. Jerry expected Brian to stay true to him because they both share a military past.

Holding the Power of Veto gave Jerry the opportunity to change his nominations. He took Jessie off the chopping block and nominated Brian.

The new nominees for eviction this week are Brian Hart and Renny Martyn. Who will be evicted? Stay Tuned!

Jessie Godderz, the Natural Bodybuilder from Iowa, decided to head to bed early and soon one by one the other houseguests followed. Renny Martyn, the New Orleans Socialite, stumbled her way into the “Road to Woodstock” room and turned on the lights to the dismay of her bunk mates. She quickly turned the lights back off and tried to walk out of the room – but the door was locked. Renny, in a very loud voice began to complain about the door being locked waking up the entire house – including Jessie.

Jessie, annoyed that he was woken up from his sleep pouted his way to the bathroom where Renny followed. Jessie confronted Renny about her loud behavior and she told him to lighten up.

Dan Gheesling and Brian Hart quickly formed an alliance. Dan recruited Ollie into the Alliance while Brian went up to the Head of Household bedroom to gauge where Jerry was leaning for nominations. At first Jerry suggested to put up Memphis and Dan. Brian had other plans for Jerry’s HoH run.

At the nomination ceremony Jerry put Renny and Jessie up for nominations at the suggestion of Brian Hart. He said that they clearly have an issue to settle.

Who will win the Power of Veto, and will they use it to save either Renny or Jessie? Stay Tuned!

The houseguests ultimately choose Jerry MacDonald, the 75-year-old Great-Grandfather from Magnolia, Texas.

Jerry is a retired salesman and is a pet shelter volunteer. He’s a father to two, grandfather to 5, and great-grandfather to 4. He’s been married to his wife for 54 years and says he’s doing Big Brother as a “last hooray” before he has to take primary care of his wife who has Parkinson’s Disease.

Jerry is the oldest houseguest to have ever entered the Big Brother house, worldwide, and oldest to have won the coveted title of Head of Household.

Being selected as the first Head of Household puts Jerry’s initial strategy in jeopardy. He originally wanted to avoid becoming HoH early in the game so he can create a strong alliance, called the X-Factor, between the first four HoH’s.

Who will Jerry nominate for Wednesday’s eviction? Tune in shortly!

RealityBBQ

While CornerOfficeX doesn’t spill who Jerry nominated, CornerOfficeX says that the Power of Veto was used to save one of the nominees!

The obvious pairs in the house are Jerry and Brian, Jessie and Memphis, Libra and Keesha. April and Ollie have also seems to have bounded, which has been noticed by the other houseguests.

Speaking of April, CornerOfficeX describes her as this year’s Jessica. He calls her a social butterfly “with a jump shot.”

Despite telling the houseguests that he’ll be the house work-out coach, Jessie and the other houseguests refuse to wake up early to work out.

“The 9″ and “The Brawny Boys” are names we will hear early on in the game.

Finally CornerOfficeX says, “This cast is smart and knows the game. They’ve already figured out you don’t always evict the easiest target.”

Being selected as the first Head of Household puts Jerry’s initial strategy in jeopardy. He originally wanted to avoid becoming HoH early in the game so he can create a strong alliance, called the X-Factor, between the first four HoH’s.

According to CornerOfficeX Jerry wants to choose his nominations from a random hat drawing. However, doing so is against one of the house rules.

How will Jerry cope with his new found power in the Big Brother house?

Will he adapt his strategy or come up with a Plan-B?

Also,

Big Brother Slop has returned! The first Food Competition was held on the second day and half of the house has been placed on the nutritionist meal that former Houseguests says tastes like sandpaper, literally.

Renny Martyn, the New Orleans socialite, is “rubbing people the wrong way.”

Jessie Godderz and Memphis Garrett have bounded.

Ollie is keeping a low profile.
