Soooo...didn't think I was going to have to call a priest over to my house this evening to exorcise the demon babies from my DVR. Thanks a lot, show.
After the nomination ceremony, Dan says he's not happy to be nominated, but is happy Memphis isn't on the block too. Jerry tells us that is goal is, of course, to get Dan out of the house, because he is still too blind with rage to think about anything else. He tells Keesha she should be okay, and she's like "Yeah, right. Eat shit, old man." Memphis tells us that he wants to find a way to get rid of Renny, because she's pretty much the only one he doesn't have a deal with at this point. Dan goes into the doom room and starts talking to himself "Let's see what the Magic Man has left in his wand," he says. Um, gross.
Soon Keesha comes in to commiserate with him. Dan tells her that there's a way that they can both stay. She wants specifics, but he wisely refuses to name names so he doesn't have anyone on his ass. Their theory is that Jerry wants someone up from each little duo, so whomever gets taken off the block is going to have their friend go up in their spot. Please, Jerry isn't that smart. With him, it's all about kicking ass and remembering how to spell names.
Dan goes up to the HOH room to talk to Jerry. He tells Jerry that there are no hard feelings about the nominations. "If you gang up on me," Jerry says, "I have no choice but to look at that situation." Wait, was that statement meant to explain something? How does that justify nominating Dan when you just talked about how everyone but you is part of a group? I think the jorts are cutting off the circulation to his brain. Jerry then tells him that who he puts up pretty much means nothing, because the POV is actually more important at this point. Jerry tells us that he's making all these statements to cover the fact that he has an alliance with Memphis. Wow, what a ninja you are; I don't think you've succeeded in anything but making us wonder what the hell you're talking about.
And now, the segment I was really hoping would make the show, because it made me very happy when I saw it on the internet the other day and I wanted all the world to bask in its glory. It's almost as good as Lisi falling. Almost. So, Jerry is in the backyard with Memphis and Dan, and they're looking up at some skywriting that is totally unrelated to the game. So Jerry isn't paying any attention to where he's going, and BAM! IN THE POOL, BABY! Man, that is rad. He comes up for air almost immediately, muttering about his ass hurting from that fall he took. Oh, karma. I thought you had left the Big Brother house permanently sometime during Season 3, and yet, we have this:
After Jerry recovers from that badass tumble into the pool, he sits in the HOH room with Memphis, asking him about his loyalty. Memphis tells Jerry straight up that he's going to do what benefits Memphis himself, but that he's going to be loyal all the way to the end. Memphis tells us that he's going to reinforce all the side deals he's made with Jerry, Keesha and Dan to make sure that he's got a spot at the end of the game. We get a little montage of him saying the same things he said to Jerry to Keesha, and then to Dan, except Memphis is wearing the coonskin cap in that one, because the v-neck does not make you quite tooly enough. The only problem with this strategy, of course, is that he can't win anything from now on out, because it means he's going to have to betray someone by either nominating certain people over others (thereby declaring an allegiance) or by choosing his final two partner if he wins the final competition. He literally cannot win a comp from here on out because he'll have to screw someone over, somehow, thereby losing votes. The strategy could win him the game, or it could sink him.

Finally, my favorite part of the show is coming up - first visit to the big ball of bitterness known as the Jury House!
Well, ball of bitterness and spunk now that Ollie and April are going at it. I wonder if there are any updates on April's "lateness"? You'd think BB would have morphed a Rerun/April baby during the POV in honor of the occasion.

Schoonie,
You've outdone yourself. I actually let out a few chuckles during this one, and I'm more of a "grin on the outside, chuckle on the inside" kind of girl.
I was also befuddled by Jerry's reaction, b/c I thought Memphis was pretty non-commital about what he was going to do with the POV.
My new catchphrase: "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, I call you a Judas and make myself look like a giant asshole."
Ha.

Jerry's a doofus. But as much as I loved his fall into the pool, have to say it doesn't come close to the spectacular Lisi face plant, IMO.
Now, Jerry tripping as he walks up the sidewalk to the jury house next week, as the rest of the jurors run to find hiding places to avoid Jerry's rambling ... THAT would have possibilities!
Awesome recap as always, Schoonie.

I think the Jerry Michelle baby grew up to be the bad guy in Lethal Weapon 2. And the kindly old guy in Mighty Ducks.

"Let's see what the Magic Man has left in his wand."
Isn't that what BB6's Howie said before he went in the 'Jack Shack'?

When I accused BB of being anti-ninjites, Jerry was not the representation I had in mind. He could never be a Ninja, jorts and visible eye-boogers are against the Ninja code.
Sidenote: Who knew from week 1 that our little Dan would grow up to be quite the BB player. I have not been this impressed since "Operation Six Fingers" Nikomas came up with to get rid of Jase. To this day, I know the law that says you pick veto players by random is named after her. She was a Ninja!!

Why did Renny refuse to believe that the Jerry/Michelle baby was part Jerry?????? Who else in the house is bald?? That really just made no sense to me. I love Renny, but she really made no effort in the POV game.
I actually think it would be wise to take Renny to the final two. I think "gameplay" would conquer "loveability" in the jury vote, wouldn't it??
Also..about April's "being late"...doesn't BB provide condoms? Why do smart people do stupid things? I'm just saying.

Holdon...the NFL? I thought Big Brother and the NFL were mutually exclusive...well, great recap anyway. In fact, sometimes I think I only watch this show in order to read the recaps after.
So glad Memphis didn't change his mind -- Dan's been one of the most entertaining BB players I've seen, he definitely deserves to make it to the final two.
Notice how quickly after his fall into the pool that Jerry reappeared with his sleeveless red shirt and jorts?
Man, when I'm that old, I'll be sitting on my front porch, strumming a guitar with a joint in my mouth...but wearing jorts? I don't think so

I'm with Itchy, only for sure I'm watching the show for the recaps!!!! Good one Schoon, lately I just start reading and try to guess if it's you, fozzie or flip, and I must say, it's getting harder to tell!!!
Well, I kinda like the 4 in the pact this time, and I'm sad to see someone go, but I guess it's that close to the end--wouldn't anyone win against Jerry . . . am I crazy!? (okay, yes, but I can't help asking . . . )

This is the first veto meeting of the season that I really wasn't sure how it'd go. I thought Memphis would save Dan and bring him to the final two (figuring he'd have the bet shot of winning next to him) but you just never know. He also did a great job of breaking the news of using the veto to Keesha. Jerryjorts was gonna be pissed no matter what, but he tried.
Dirty Sanchez... great post! You made me LOL with every typed word. Bitter jury members, we await you!

So they didn't show this, but according to the BB feeds, all the houseguests except for Dan had been drinking before the Veto competition. They didn't think it would be held because it was already so late at night. But apparently Keesha and Renny were trashed. Explains a lot!

What's worse? The coon cap with the v-neck or the 'renegades' showing solidarity by whipping out red bandanas during a competition?
Sorry to see Renny go....
12 of 17 | Posted by suckitbitches | Posted on September 3, 2008 11:51 AM
Bye, Bye Renny. She was crazy and a goofball but still entertaining. My Karnak abilities may be skewed by the determination of "Los Renegados" and Memphis' use of the veto but I suspect Renny's on her way to the BJ House. (Bitter Jury House)
I'm glad Los Renegados didn't pull out their red bandanas and I hope they don't do it anytime soon because that would be almost as lame as Jerry's "let's talk" "X."
Lovin' the coon skin hat. Memphis is such a fashionista. Will Brian be right about Memphis? Was the winner called week 1?
13 of 17 | Posted by Mr Dangerous | Posted on September 3, 2008 12:45 PM
Mr Dangerous- I don't think nothin'... even the matching bandanas, in BB or reality history can be as lame as Jerry's "let's talk" "X." LMAO!
Brian left so early, we didn't get to know him well but I gave him major points for keeping a straight face and not bursting into giggles like an adolescent girl.
Will be interesting to see if Brian called it right from the get-go. But hopefully Dan's The Man!

Ha! I like to play a little game when I read BB recaps where I try to guess which recapper wrote it by reading the first couple of paragraphs before seeing the author's name.
I knew as soon as you mentioned Lisi falling that it was definitely a Schoonie recap!
15 of 17 | Posted by aholic | Posted on September 4, 2008 7:18 AM
Hey
Schoonie I love your idea that the cast should have worn diapers for the face mashup baby contest, but wouldn't that be overkill for Jerry? I already hear the distinct sound of rubber and plastic against his ass every time he moves!

Best recap this season imo.
I agree that they should have had an April-Ollie one, but that may have been too obvious.
Diapers would have been Jenius!
The Dan-Renny flashback to E.D. and Eric was rich. I just wish Renny would've poured cereal on Dan...
