Jessie copies the HGs actions in a "monkey see monkey do" kind of a way, and everyone likes him. If he had just had a silencing mask from the beginning, he would have won this thing. Every so often, Jessie removes one of the clues from the yard or covers it with a sheet, meaning it's a red herring. That would mean the wisest thing to do would be to wait until the last minute to make your guesses so that you're sure you have all the correct clues. Shocker, Jerry is the first to get a phrase. He guesses "Don't shit where you eat" because he was eating a banana by an emu, and all emus do is shit. When it's removed from the backyard and the banana is being digested, Jerr knows he boned that one.
He guesses again, this time going for "diamonds cut class, ballers get ass" because there's a diamond, he has huge balls, and the contortionist won't stop showing off her ass. Jessie keeps dancing around, and Keesha giggles that hideous laugh. She guesses "blew it" because there's a blueberry and an egg with "it" on it. She answers half heartedly and admits that she probably "blew it". Make an effort, woman! Meanwhile, Dan is seriously sitting on the porch staring at the contortionist. Damn, Catholic Dan. Keep it in your pants. She finally gets uncomfortable and leaves.
Jerry thinks he knows another one, so he strides toward the bell and rings it and then waves at no one. Dan is offended by Jerry's cockiness, which is hilarious to me because Dan is shirtless and fauxhawked and very very cocky. Jerry guesses "Fuck with a bitch, sleep in the doghouse" because both a dog and Keesha are in the yard, and the yard is in the back of a house. When he's done guessing, Jessie covers up the dog and the hot dog, which makes Jerry 0 for 0. He mutters "I guess I should have waited." No, come on. You did great. Keesha looks like she finally has it all figured out.
She guesses "Leggo my Eggo" because there's an egg in the backyard. Man, you wanna root for the underdogs but she and Jerry are really making it tough. Memphis tells Dan that the hardest games for him are crossword puzzles and making phrases out of random pieces of Renny's furniture and anything that requires spelling or addition or science or reading or writing or geography. Jessie puts his thumb in his mouth, calling Memphis a baby, and for once, the kid has a point.
With about fifteen minutes to go, Dan finally makes a guess, "Bury the hatchet", because there's a berry and a hatching egg with "it" on it. He's followed by Memphis, who guesses "fruitless exit" with the same clues. Dan is officially the smartest person in this house. If that doesn't make you take a closer look at our educational system, nothing will. During his exit on the way back to oblivion, Jessie walks past Dan, who smells Axe and stank hormone sweat and guesses it's him. See? Brains.
Three hours are up. The HGs go inside and there is a gorilla glove hanging on Jessie's picture. They all stand there for awhile and try to decide whether or not the gorilla was Jessie. HAHA sometimes I literally feel the tingles of love for this show. And...Dan wins with bury the hatchet! He gets to go to a remote island for a day with either a HG or a jury member of his choice. Instead of choosing right away, Dan pretends he's in a Calvin Klein ad.
He's afraid of taking Memphis because he doesn't want people to think they're in cahoots. He's not kidding, and I love him for it. Hmmm. Who should it be?
Michelle would be so happy to be alone with a man that she might forgive him for backdooring her. Hmmm.....
Michelle is has the biggest mouth and the most hate for him, so he chooses her. Now how this translates into luxury, I have no idea. Maybe they'll get to see an Ashton Kutcher movie, too. Dan decides not to tell the HGs that he is taking a jury member and instead tells them that he had the option of taking one of them or going alone and he didn't wanna hurt anyone's feelings so he's going alone. Memphis starts flattening out his fauxhawk and trying not to be mad, and Jerry says that he's shocked Dan's not taking his bf. Dan senses that Jerry knows something is up and is afraid his plan will "backfire me." There's the Dan we know!

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?
