Dan might be losing it. That was pretty crazy.

Even if you didn't read spoilers you had to know Ollie was getting screwed. How many times did we see him say he was in charge, holding the cards, calling the shots, in the driver's seat, etc? He was perfectly edited to be on the losing end of a foolish deal.

WOW....THAT WAS BLOODY AWESOME!!.....I don't think Dan would ever win this game if he did make it to final two after the stunts he has pulled this week, but good god, that was entertaining as hell.

"Ollie, you gambled and lost, Michelle, get on the block!!!"

That was the best thing I have seen on the show in a long time, priceless!!

Dan will make it to the final two. Whomever is smart should take him to the finals, cause they're guaranteed to beat Dan with the bridges he's burned.

So is Jerry going to survive yet another show on the backs of Ollie and Michelle? Too funny, I sure was wrong on my predictions on how long theold guy would last.

I think the opposite. Look at Ryan and Adam. Ryan was the stronger compeditor of the two, but Adam played the better game. Both burned bridges, but I think if the Jury gets to see everything that Dan is saying in the diary room, he's playing one of the best games in BB history IMO. (Not the best, but he's not going to fall into the final 4 like a lot of players.)

Yeah, but the jury doesn't get to see the diary room, so I don't think as of right now he would stand a chance in the final 2 if he were to get there. But I do agree, he is playing a solid game because everything he is doing is by design, he isn't making snap decisions and then try to cover it up. I think the only big mistake he has made thus far was making that deal with Ollie. He put himself in a lose lose situation, but I think you have to give him credit for his damage control. I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

I really liked Dan's situation and game until this week, he shouldn't have cut a deal with Ollie at least not too that extent... and after he did, then when he broke his word to him in the veto he should have just done it, so Sorry Ollie, but I'd be an idiot to put Kiesha up, makeing sure everyone knows Ollie is gunning for her. Instead he angered his entire alliance by trying to make it look like it was everyone but his fault he had to break his word, no one bought it... and to do that after already putting Memphis on the block and possibly ending that alliance... no one is going to let him fade into the background while they stay blaming each other like he so naively believes... he set off a bomb alright, but he was sitting on it... I thought he or Memphis had this game wrapped up until this week... now with double eviction on Thursday I think he is gone... to bad though he was fun to watch. But he got cocky and he started to think he was smarter than everyone and, while he might be smarter, they are not all complete idiots...

I can see each and every housemate putting him up after that stunt... he just showed them he isn't just a bumbling fool but that he has a sneaky side and tries to make everyone do his dirty work... that bugs people everytime.

At this point, people should be looking at the people in that house, and figuring out their end game. If Dan had to get rid of Memphis, he would have. If he screws over Renny, so what. Ollie is useless...

Basically he's still in a great position until HoH. If anyone other than the those 4 that he runs with, he may be screwed, but he's the only one who is one step ahead of anyone else.

^ I don't think that Dan is screwed really. He has enough votes to stay in even if Ollie does win HoH. It would all depend on who he is up against though.

Thursday will be interesting, he will have either angered everyone so much that by then no one cares and his alliance will vote him out after Michelle is gone as reny, Keesha and Memphis still have the numbers... or his alliance will stick to the plan not having any time to discuss and pick off ollie or oldman.

I'm not sure what the reaction has been as I dont watch live feeds or read spoiler blogs etc...

I'm not sure about Dans game, i think he screwed himself this week.
1. why make that deal with Ollie? I'm sure he could have made a much better deal from the very beginning.
2. why not put Keesha up? Wouldn't they have had the votes to keep her anyway?
3. That whole thing at the POV. i think it'll open the eyes of the other hose members as to Dans willingness to sacrafice them for himself.
4. Couldn't Memphis have let Keesha win the POV, take him off the block, thus protecting them both? not 100% sure if thats how it works...

From what i've seen of BB10, Jerry is a bigger threat to win than Michelle, so putting up Renny vs. Jerry. Then evicting Jerry seems like it would have been a better plan to me.
I don't think Dan stands a chance of winning the final now, and will definetly be the target if Ollie or Jerry win either of the next 2 HOH.

- Dan made the 'deal' with Ollie to show 'weakness' while still being in a position of power.
- Dan did the roulette, in the order he did so that Ollie and Michelle seem like they have the beef, as shown in the meeting in the HoH room. I think it puts Renny and Keesha up against Michelle and Ollie taking some heat off the 'Renagades'.
- Dan did not put up Keesha cause he can beat Ollie, he may not be able to beat Michelle. Also, it's Big Brother, if you're up... you could go home. Pawn or not.
- I'm not sure that POV is still 'GOLDEN'.
- Dan does have the votes to stay, regardless who gets put up.

The roulette game shows he has no strength or backbone. The other 4 will talk and figure out it was all staged as a way to deflect the fact that he backstabbed Ollie. Backstabbing Ollie is fine, but just do it, don't be a little dbag about it, all of them will resent Dan for that.

My thoughts exactly. Just be a man about it and say "We made a deal. I lied. Michelle is up as the replacement."

Yeah i'm not sure I would have done the roulette thing either but it was awesome!

I loved Dan's quotes. Something like "Gambling in this game is a risk. In this house, people gamble on protecting other's safety. You just need to gamble on the right people to protect your bet. Unfortunately Ollie you lost the bet, Michelle go on the block."

That was amazing. I wanted Dan to say something like you just got punk'd Ollie, get on the block (but I knew Michelle was going up as I saw the live feeds 3 days ago). I still want a Memphis/Keesha/Dan final 3 and the chances of that happening are getting better and better. Michelle is out this week for sure. As long as Jerry/Ollie don't win HOH on Thursday it'll be pretty close to happening.

Memphis/Dan final 2 would go like this IMO:

Libra: not sure....leaning towards Dan.
April: Memphis
Michelle: Memphis
Renny: Dan
Keesha: Dan
Ollie: Memphis
Jerry: Memphis

Memphis wins 4-3.

Memphis/Keesha final two:

Libra: Keesha
April: Memphis
Michelle: Memphis
Renny: Keesha
Dan: Memphis
Ollie: Keesha
Jerry: Keesha

Keesha wins 4-3.

Dan/Keesha final 2:

Libra: Keesha
April: Dan
Michelle: Keesha
Renny: Keesha
Memphis: Dan
Ollie: Keesha
Jerry: Keesha

Keesha wins 5-2.

Memphis/Dan need to get Ollie/Jerry out but if they want to win the game they will have to get Keesha out after that.

I'd like to see Memphis win the game followed by Dan followed by Keesha(Dan/Keesha is pretty close and interchangeable). After that I don't really care but then Renny, Ollie, Jerry (i'm counting Michelle as done).

It is. You win it, you can take someone off and keep yourself protected.

Well without giving anything away - tonights episode couldn't have worked out better for one house member. Talk about a plan coming together, seriously.

Absolutely loved the episode tonight! Spoilers below in white:
Michelle was evicted 3-1 and then Keesha beat Jerry in a extra question to win the HOH. She nominated Ollie/Jerry for eviction and Dan won the POV. Dan/Memphis were pumped after the POV. Ollie was then evicted 3-0 so 5 houseguests remain: Memphis, Dan, Keesha, Renny, Jerry. Absolutely best case scenario came through tonight! I was hoping Michelle/Ollie would be the 2 out and they were. Perfect. I want Jerry to be the next one out in a week. I'd like to see Renny win HOH(with Jerry going home) so Memphis/Dan/Keesha can still play in the HOH after that and send Renny home after Jerry. It looks like the renegade alliance will be in the final 2 IMO. Awesome result tonight!!!
