But every couple weeks you have a situation like tonight's show where the vote goes 9-0 or whatever, so you know a bunch of stuff happened last minute, and everyone decided who was staying and who was going, and nobody wants to be left ostracized as the "lone voter." I presume if you watch the live feeds this is all explained, but for those of us who just tune in three nights a week and occasionally read a blog for an update, that's a little disappointing.
Add to that all the "inside joke" references Steven made during his speech and I feel a little left in the dark as to what's really going on in there.
Jessie/Michelle and Angie/Memphis better be on the lookout this week. If they think their alliance is still under wraps, they have another thing coming. And what an interesting HOH winner- Keesha winning means the dynamics of the house are really gonna change. If I was her, I would saddle up with Renny and Jerry, and make sure they are all on the same page vote-wise. The "strays" could really help her stay in the game, and shift the power back to the Libra/April/Ollie side of the house.

The vote never was close. Steven went to Jessie/Michelle/Memphis about putting Libra up as a replacement for Dan (not himself) as a lot of people in the house hate her (Jerry, Renny, Keesha, Jessie, Michelle, Memphis, Angie) but Michelle didn't want to be the one to change the nominations and have a target on her back so nothing really came of it. They were never going to vote Dan out in any scenario. The plan for about 2 minutes was to take him off the block and put Libra up vs Steven.
If Keesha was smart she'd put up Libra and Dan. She could tell Dan he is safe and the whole house hates Libra (well a lot of the house: Jessie, Memphis, Angie, Michelle, Jerry, Renny). She could tell everyone else she put up Dan because of his allegiance to Brian. Everyone would understand and Jessie's crew wouldn't vote Dan out because Jessie/Dan have a deal where they will help each other. Jerry/Renny/Jessie/Angie (Memphis and Michelle most likely too) for sure would vote Libra out. That's all she needs is 4 votes because Keesha breaks the tie if needed. Libra would go home and she wouldn't make any enemies that way. Keesha could let one of the other 4 take out the other alliance the week after. If one of Memphis' alliance won HOH next week Keesha wouldn't go up either. If she targeted Jessie/Memphis right now she'd be screwed next week when one of them win HOH. Dan is kind of just there although Jessie will take him for a ride and then discard him.
They just do the editing to create excitement.
