Big Brother 10: 8/12 Recap

Posted by johnnysweeptheleg

I don’t expect to see any slo-mo video montages of Dan and Jerry skipping hand-in-hand with The Turtles “Happy Together” playing over it. After last night’s episode, we learned that Jerry is absolutely obsessed with Dan. In fact, if the houseguests had rabbits in the house, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see Jerry boiling Dan’s bunny during an upcoming episode.

Since Michelle’s nominations, the plan has been to vote Libra out. The only one who could change this, is Jerry. If he wins POV, all bets are off.

This week’s POV competition is called “Cry Me A Veto” and consists of houseguests playing a version of Whack-A-Mole with little Danny DeVito’s popping up in place of the mole. Ok, not really, but that really needs to be an upcoming Veto competition. In reality, houseguests must chop up onions and transfer from their bins into either a Veto box or a Mystery box. Whoever has the heaviest onion box after an hour, wins either Veto or a Mystery prize.

Memphis has no dog in this eviction fight, so he plays almost strictly for the Mystery box. This works well and he wins. Problem is, he wins an onion necklace for 24 hours. Upside is, I saw the two Coreys don this same thing in Lost Boys, and it helped repell vampire attacks. April is runner up and gets the second prize, which results in 5 designer outfits. None of that matters. POV does. And Jerry has enough onions to beat out Libra for POV.

This allows Jerry to continue obsessing over Dan. He begins calling Dan Judas, and prompting his housemates to do the same. When Michelle talks to Jerry about POV, he tells her he’d like to take down Keesha and put Dan up in his place so he has to sweat it. She’s nervous about this, because she wants to make sure Libra, her target, leaves.

Surely, the houseguests will get along over a BB feast, right? After a cliche-filled toast, the houseguests get some wine in their system, which is always good for getting the women fighting in the house. Michelle tells Keesha that Libra made a snarky remark about Keesha at the fest. I’m as anti-Libra as the next, but her comment really was made as a joke. An obviously under the influence of wine Keesha tells them to bring Libra in the room, and the two allies verbally duke it out. Libra calls Keesha out for being the Vote Jessie Out mastermind. Keesha flips things and implements April. Suddenly it’s like something out of Reservoir Dogs, with everyone pulling a metaphorical gun on one another, in a circle.

Keesha stomps out and goes down to her room, where she begins ranting. This Keesha scares me. Seriously. She comes with baggage. And it’s baggage filled with crazy.

Finally at the POV ceremony, Jerry gives his speech. A speech that has nothing to do with the two on the block. Once again, Jerry reveals his obsession with Dan. Seriously, I was waiting for “You’re My Obsession” to be played. But sadly, no Turtles earlier, and no Animotion here. Jerry goes on again with the Judas. Someone needs to call jinx on him the next time he talks, just to shut him up for a while. He tells Dan he’s lucky that he won’t be using the POV. Jerry does realize that he doesn’t get to name the replacement, right? In the end, Jerry reveals his cards and makes, in my estimation, a giant misstep.
