Also, all of a sudden Michelle is on the other side? When did this happen?

I was wondering that as well, I kept thinking to myself "Do they know that Michelle is in that room?" But hey I am happy about that, what can I say, my girl plays for both teams. Also I saw on one clip from the diary room last night that she had straight hair, I did not recognize her, but she looked alot better like that they the Sideshow Bob hair she sports all the time.

Well Michelle is in between but not truly with Keesha's side. It's because of Memphis that Michelle is being included. Michelle is going to be the first one kicked off once April, Ollie and Jerry are gone. Keesha/Memphis, Keesha/Renny, Keesha/Dan, Dan/Memphis all have separate alliances. Michelle's only "alliance" left is Memphis. Assuming April gets the boot this week, i'd assume one of Jerry/Ollie will next week and the other the week after(assuming Ollie/Jerry don't win an HOH in the next 2 weeks). IMO, Memphis is the favorite to win at this point.

I think we should have a points based system.

3 pts HOH
2 pt POV
1 Survive Eviction

I can keep editing my original post to keep track.

Dan has been up a few times and survived eviction, should I not have more than 1 point?

[Barnes]

Yeah, just checked and I missed one from week two.

Jesse - Renny
Jesse off Brian Replacement
Brian out

Steven - Dan
POV not used
Steven out

Jesse vs Angie

Jesse vs Memphis

Libra vs Keesha

April vs Jerry

Kind of a ho-hum episode, but towards the end I began thinking what I would do if I were April/Ollie. Not that I'm rooting for them, in fact I'm not, but it was an exercise in gameplay and strategy. Hear me out.

They need to secure some votes for April and get Jerry booted. Here's what they do: approach Dan & Memphis and promise to the two of them that if either of them wins HOH the following week, they are not going up. If Jerry survives and wins the HOH next week, they are going up for sure, and more than likely, one of them is going home. So you give them a little security in that sense. Jerry is out = they are safe, if Ollie wins they are safe from nom's, if April wins they are safe from nominations.

On top of that, have them (Memphis and Dan) choose one of Michelle or Keesha, whoever they want as part of their trio, and that person is safe from nominations the next week also should one of April or Ollie win HOH. Say they choose Keesha. What that means is the nominees will be Renny and Michelle if A/O wins HOH, and that is set in stone.

Then after that eviction (either Renny or Michelle goes home) it's Memphis/Dan/Keesha versus Ollie/April/Michelle or Renny (whoever survives). The final 6, split into two alliances.

Also, April can offer up all the money she won (what was it, 5k?) and give it to Dan/Memphis for them to share with their third alliance member (either Keesha or Michelle). Further swaying their vote, and getting them to vote out Jerry instead of her this week.

I would at least consider it if I were Dan and Memphis. But, I will bet, Ollie and April will sulk it up and she will go out with a bang.

OT- I read on some blog tonight that Jen and Ryan from BB9 broke up (he cheated on her) and now Jen and Alex are an item. Good for them. I thought she got a bad wrap, and he was a good guy. And she's so super smoking hot.

Re: the pool. Even though McCree is in last place right now, I like his chances to win this thing.

I'm really getting tired of this "honor the HoH's wishes" mentality that's in the house. I mean, an HoH isn't the king of the house, yes they have power, but not all the power, people should vote off who they want and not who the HoH wants. It makes for boring PoV meetings and blowout votes and it looks like the same thing will happen for tomorrow's eviction as well. I wanna see some blindsiding, I wanna see people actually have the balls to make a move. I understand why Dan chose not to use it yesterday, but it would have been really interesting to see what would happen of if had taken off Jerry.

I agree, but after Renny tells him she would think of him as a "traitor," there's a good chance he would've gone up. He simply couldn't use it.

Agree with your sentiments though. I suppose each season has its own subculture if you will, and "following the HOH's wishes" seems to be par for the course this season, aside from that one week when Jessie left.

I don't think the POV can be selected to go up, but I could be wrong.

Well Dan would not have gone up cause he gets immunity with the POV, but Memphis could have gone up and that would have hurt him. So he I think that he made the right decision in those circumstances. I think that Reny should go soon cause by some stroke of luck she wins again there is no way to know who she will put up.

Oops, didn't know that. Still relatively new to the whole BB thing.

Are you sure about that? Didn't Marcellus use the POV and then get nominated and then evicted?

edit: NM

He won the VETO but did not use it on himself. DUMB JUST DUMB

[Machiavelli]

^ Dumbest move in BB history. I think he used it to save his BFF in the house, Amy.

[Barnes]

The GOLDEN power of veto gives the winner immunity. When they first came up with the power of veto it did not and no one used.

Well and even there (whether wrongfully accused or not) it was Libra that took the hit for it the week after. It makes for some boring gameplay, but I was thinking about this while Dan had the power of veto...often the best move in that game is no move at all.

Who cares about honouring HOH? It's not like they're going to be HOH the next week. Dan should have taken April's money, told everyone that Ollie was making out with Keesha, said that Memphis lied about not having a car, called Jerry a hippocrite and then take Jerry off anyways! If you're you're goona stir up the pot.... make it good!

Oh... Jen and Alex?!?!?! Ewwww... That's about as bad as Jen and Nick! Or Boogie and... well... anyone!!! I'm gonna go barf now.

[Barnes]

I like Dan's move in his speech letting everyone know that April tried to buy her safety. Jerry won't be pleased. This weeks HOH will be huge.

I have a feeling that somone else will be coming into the game. The blank HG picture on the wall has me wondering.

Anyways, here's the updated pool.
