No one quite knows what to do. Dan wants to poke her, but Jerry warns him that she will eat someone for lunch. Subtitles tell us that Cho is saying "I am sitting on what you need", but none of the HGs can read so they have no clue what's going on. Memphis thinks they will have to wrestle Cho, but no one will touch that one. Finally, she gets up and underneath her is a black envelope. Dan tries to talk to her again, not really getting the whole "No speaky Engly" thing, tries asking her questions. Cho just keeps repeating the same thing over and over again. Then he gets up and shoots hard boiled eggs at Keesha.
That girl will do anything for a laugh. No wonder they keep letting her on TV.
As Cho does all sorts of kicks and squats, Dan blames her for the earthquake. Classy, Dan. She can hear. When the houseguests are tired of trying to figure out how Margaret got so many zits on her butt, it seems like an eternity has passed. Finally, Dan notices the envelope under her ass and wonders if it might be a clue.
Next stop Jeopardy.
Dan and Jerry sit on the couches and watch the squat show while Memphis and Keesha hide in the kitchen, afraid that Cho's hugeness might be contagious. I got news for you, it is. And you caught it. Cho gets up and Dan steals the envelope. It says that there will be a big luxury comp involving a trip out of the house. Memphis guesses it might be a sushi dinner, and Dan thinks it might be a trip to Japan. So different, yet the same. Awwww! Jerry guesses a trip to Vegas, and Keesha thinks it might be tickets to 9 to 5 the musical (see you there, Claire!).
Dan and Memphis go to the boy's bedroom and do their weird pointing at each other thing and whisper congrats at each other so no one will know they're in cahoots. Really? You have the SAME HAIR. When they're done with their superspy thing, they go to hang out with a very worried Keesha in the other room. They listen to her, but stay quiet while giving each other superspy roll eyes. Keesha starts thinking very deeply about her situation. You can tell because she's wearing what I can only guess are a pair of glasses Renny left behind. Could you imagine ordering hot wings from a girl in these glasses?
Where do you think you are, Applebee's?
She tells us that she hopes Dan and Memphis would pick her over Jerry, but they won't stop whispering to each other and linking pinkies, so she's skerd. Later, Keesha goes outside and cries because she's stronger and slightly more with it intellectually than Jerry and if she doesn't win the POV she's completely screwed she misses Renny.
Later, Memphis and Jerry sit on the tear stained outdoor furniture and talk about the game. Forgetting that until very recently Memphis rode a bike, Jerry tries the "I've got poor kids" thing. When he remembers that Memphis is unfazed by welfare he says that everyone in the jury house told him in code that they were going to vote for a woman to win if they got a chance. Memphis can only hear "cow cow cow cow snake snake snake snake Moses Moses Moses Moses". It's either keep Jerry talking or suffer the consequences when he goes in to change into his sleeveless wifebeater and jiggle his arms everywhere.
Please. For all our sakes, just keep him busy.
Later that night, Jerry has run out of stories and changed into guess what? THE RED WIFEBEATER! Told ya! He sits outside with Memphis, Dan and Keesha and they all discuss the subprime mortgage crisis and it's effect on the economy. Just kidding. They stare at one of the spiders that lived in Michelle's hair making a web. Memphis says that he wants to give it a moth and watch it eat it, which is how serial killers start. Well, that and torturing cats and being treated mean by their mamas. Memphis aptly names his new pet Ted and starts hunting for bugs to feed it, which freaks Keesha out. Dan gets on board and they find a moth. The spider's like uh no so they get another one and the spider catches it and rips it to shreds. It's pretty fascinating. Who says this show gets boring near the end?

Great recap flipit! HEART!
I kept waiting for someone to scream "damn that dorky gorilla reminds me of Jesse" before the sound effect. Oh that woulda been great!
Daniel-San (ode to the headband) must of heard me screaming in my living room, "pick Meeeechelle! Pick Me-me-me-mechelle!" It will be interesting to see if this works and swings a bitter jury vote his way or not but this is his only way of possibly changing that girl's mind.
I do think when he told the houseguests he could take any of them and chose not to, he should not have even brought up the fact about a jury member going.
And thanks for the fauxhawk pics. I was distracted with Dan's big bedhead hair and thought he should of given Renny another go at the scissors before she left

Ah, Flipit on a Monday. Better than coffee.
Is it just me, or does the idea of an actual gorilla in a Jessie suit seem funnier? And scarier?
As for that Windows commercial: While it is a dead-on impersonation of an old "Seinfeld" episode, that's like commending the winner of the annual Elvis festival in Collingwood, Ontario (I shit you not) for being just like the original.
And those "Dan as CK model" screencaps had me laughing out loud.

Flipit, I love you so hard! The Windows commercial thing and Jerry's guesses for the luxury competition MADE MY DAY.

Flipit, I'd love you just as hard! Wait, that sounds dirty... I am with you, fauxhawks MUST STOP NOW. It's out of hand and if Jerry shows up with one then I'm gonna hack all my hair off altogether... and something tells me that Jesse liked being in the gorilla suit a little too much (can you imagine how funky that thing was after he got done with it?... double-ew).
I'm gonna miss Renny forever. *tears*
love you, though..

Margaret Cho wishes her boobs were that big.
Why did they bother putting Jessie in a gorilla outfit? Couldn't he have lumbered around and made unintelligible noises just as easily without it? I guess you expect it when you're in the BB house, but if someone goes barreling into my bedroom when I'm sound asleep they're going to end up with an anus full of my foot. Or a dirty sanchez, but I think Jessie might like that.
I would pay a fair sum of money to watch Dan and Michelle on their little vacay together. So much for it being a luxury item!

Thanks for the speedy recap, as always, Mr. Flip!!!! Seems the tennis preempted everything in my parts, and I only caught a glimpse of the epi upon returning home (like 11ish, thanks CBS!) And why isn't Tivo smart enough to know when somethings been preempted and tape it when it shows later, or even, when it goes over 3 minutes . . . they used to try and make you think Tivo was so smart it would tape things for you that you like, uh huh, that's why it kept taping PTL in the middle of the night, coz it knew I was a devout sinner and needed redemption, Smart Tivo . . . or not!!!!
Well, I did pop on AD for a hot minute, to see if I would find out what I missed, and it was Jerry stomping back and forth in the yard, over and over . . . . really glad I've got Showtime!
sob, sniff, Renny . . . .sniff . . .

Uh, I like Memphis "now" more than "before."
I really liked the spider eating the moth. That was really cool.

I haven't finished reading the recap (awesome job, by the way, can't stop chuckling) but I just have to suggest something:
Maybe guys copying each others' hairstyle is akin to women getting into the same period cycle.
Just thinkin' out loud.

GD I love Dan.. he is adorable and just makes me laugh and laugh. Sometimes I even like Memphis. I would love to see Keesha win veto, then vote Memphis out. Oh! I hope she grows a brain and figures it out! But I do want Dan to win it in the end.

The entire recap was hilarious, especially the Margaret Cho part, and the houseguests' inability to read subtitles.
Memphis can't afford to win P.O.V. tonight. Then, he would have to vote out an ally. I think Memphis has either set himself up to win, or dug his own grave.

mrsc: I might not have watched as carefully as I thought I did, but I'm pretty sure Dan did NOT mention anything about his opportunity to take a jury house member. I'm fairly certain the remaining houseguests all think he'll be on that island alone. Well...except for Jerry who thinks the jury is sequestered on some island and that's where Dan gets to go.
I would love to see Dan win and Big Brother have Dr. Will hand him the big check and pass Dan his "crown." This is certainly the best game play since the days of Dr. Will. IMHO

Flipit: I hope I am not too late for you to see this. Is it just me, or is there a very clever reference to West Side Story on the last screen cap of Dan....I gotta know.
I love your recaps....what else will you be doing?
