I hope Jessie stays if only to keep stirring up shit in the house. It was pretty funny. And also, cause I've learned so much about how distorting your body with steroids actually harms your competive skills. Anyone at the Olympics taking notes from Jessie's pearls of wisdom?

Awesome Recap Schoon...don't tell fozzie and Flip but....you're my favorite recapper! lol yink yink!

What did Jesse expect when he went back to April with this information? That the three stooges would turn on eachother? Libra, Keesha and April have this sickenning love/hate relationship and regardless of how the ship goes, they will always stick together; hence why there's been these ridiculous fights, yet, no breaking alliance.

And in regards to Libra... while I don't support her game, people have to stop using the bad mother excuse. There are countless fathers who leave their children for extended period of times but the assumption is that the mother is more than capable of taking care of her kids...why isn't this same theory applicable to man. Her husband is there! He can very well take care of HIS children!

Lastly in regards to Michelle...what the hell did she expect? unitaaawwwwwwwwawd!!!!

Umm, let me make sure I have my facts right. Michelle (big wall of hair, face like a frying pan) was crying last week like she had just found out the man who raised her was not her father because she wanted a letter from home so bad. Instead, she is quite satisfied with a trip to Hawaii where upon her arrival, the state would probably agree to leave the union because non-islanders are such, well, there are such Michelles. Anyway, when Libra takes the trip instead of a letter from 5 MONTH OLD TWINS and a 4 YEAR OLD which would basically read "GACK, POOP, SPIT, NO TEETH, POPEYE" she is a bad mother?! Because she left her kids?!? Wow, I had no idea I knew so many skank slut whores who should have their kids taken away. Michelle is the new Jessie

My favorite line from this episode:

Michelle: I'm leaving the house because I didn't come here to be made a fool out of
Jessie: Come on, Michelle! You're playing for $500,000. You could buy Hawaii!!

I too love the Memphis-Jerry hatred. It makes me laugh out loud just thinking about the mixologist and the old war veteran going back and forth sniping at each other, and how fast Memphis picked him for slop. I rewound to watch it again. And then Jerry was like "I KNEW it!"

So, i guess any competition that Jessie is in and doesn't win will be lame, or bogus, or he'll have some other excuse. i mean...the hockey was like mini-golf and he doesn't play golf because his back is too big. That is priceless right there.

I don't understand why the HOH thinks they have all the power as to who gets voted out. April has no power now. I am assuming, if they voted as they wanted, Libra, Keesha and Renny would vote for Jessie. Michelle and Ollie (because of April) would vote for Memphis. Jerry I think would vote for Memphis based on their feud but who knows. So Dan would be the wildcard, and from how things have gone with the AP voting, I'm assuming America would vote Jessie out. But that is if they thought for themselves.

Great recap - great episode.

I'm not saying Libra is a bad mother...but she made a bad choice. She already had won $3,333.33 :) She should have picked the letter from home so she can find out how her husband and 3 children are doing, instead of taking a trip for 2 to Hawaii -- as she will be leaving her children behind, again...

Plus, getting a chance for America to see Jessie in a unitard would have been hilarious.

Still want Keesha to win it all...

America, I will forgive you for the BB8 finale if you get Dan to evict Jessie. Name whatever you want for reward. Just make sure it can be delivered.

oh please, I'd totally take the trip to Hawaii (and I have 2 kids). She can bring the kids with her. Children under two fly free so she'd only have to get a ticket for her 4 year old. Cheap family vacation to Hawaii! So worth it.

Well, if we are voting on bad decisions (which we are not, I think) I'm going with "leaving Parkinson Diseased wife to compete in a reality show" Statically, Libra's kids have a lifetime with her and to have memories, the younger ones probably don't know she is gone. Jerry made it sound like his wife had one foot int he grave and the other on a banana peel(unfortunate and sad) I'm just saying is all. I see Dan or Ollie taking it all. Those 2 are not even on anyone's radar as long as Jessie, Memphis, Libra, and April are in the that house.

So far, both blondes have exhibited some pretty tough game play, it's nice that they are at least not cowering . . . but if I was in that house, I wouldn't repeat a thing I'd heard . . ugh!

I do like that April and Libra picked up on AP in two seconds!!! And then April even granted their wish, perhaps even Jessie caught wind, hence that tender hug, which I admit, made me like Dan more--it was a bit fun, and the story wasn't all hyped up, which I also liked! Poor Libra though, hopefully she'll learn about herself and screaming when she gets out, it truly was over the top, and even I was thinking shut the F up!!!! But still, MOST AWESOME BDAY EVER!!!!!

Thanks for the recap Schoon!!!

My birthday was better last year, and I spent that one in Ohio."
WHATS THAT SUPPOSE TO MEAN SCHOON???

I think i'm a skank slut whore because i would of taken that trip in a heart beat..F my kids i need a vacation!! HOLLA!

BEST EPISODE EVER....AHHHH MICHELLE..so classy!

And while I still have my soapbox out, why is no one on the message board for the Mole telling Mark what a bad decision he made to leave his PREGNANT WIFE alone with 3 other children while he competed on a reality show? Or Paul leaving his 2 year old daughter and wife alone to compete on a reality show? Like Libra or not, that bad mother BULL*#&^ is uncalled for and I hope to God it comes back to bite Michelle in that cup sized giggly almost to the back of her knees muffin top ass

Fayellis:

I heart you.

You said everything I wanted to say (complete with a Seinfeld reference) and you were a million times snarkier than I could ever be.

Thank you!

P.S.Craig is the mole!

MargotTenenbaum, life would not be complete w/o one Seinfeld reference a day (SERENITY NOW) And I too, think Craig (and he reminds me of Newman so I sorta heart him)

I wanted so badly for Libra to trade for the letter from home, because that would have put Jesse in the unitard! And how fantastically horrific would that have been?

Also, I loved Jessie, after trying to comfort Michelle about wearing the unitard, said "well your ass looks great in it." Ah Jessie...

Schoon, great recap. The fighting and awkward birthday celebration over that lame big cookie that looked like it had been decorated by a kindergartener was absolutely priceless.

I love that Michelle got stuck in the unitahd. Jesse would have been almost as happy to be in the unitard for a week as Jen was last summer. Definitely wouldn't have been a punishment for him.

I agree with Fayellis1 (hilarious and insightful analysis btw), that Ollie and Dan are sitting pretty right now. Everyone makes fun of Dan's strategy, but meanwhile a guy with absolutely no allies is just coasting along. Loved the shots of him laying on the couch reading while hell was breaking out all over the house . . .LOL.

Too funny about panface Fayellis, and like Schoon said, they signed up for a reality show with cameras on 24/7 Did she think she'd never have to do something like a unitard--I'd have showered in it tho, or laundered it if I could . . . and call me crazy, but did she not up the drama just to get Jessie nearer to her . . .

Dan does seem to be in a good spot, coz eventually sides will be picked and the floaters like Renny, Dan and Jerry will be bargained for and back in the game.

It is funny when Renny yells, I think she was a hawk in a previous life!

"A unitahhhhd! Waaaah!" I was cracking up at her meltdown, especially with the "story of my life" line thrown in there. Hey, anyone want to buy a house from the crazy bitch in a red unitahhhhd? Maybe she can wear it when she holds open houses.

Squawk Squawk! Totally with you on Renny sounding like a hawk when she yells.

With Michelle's voice, face, teacup booty, hair, and fondness for Jessie, she is most embarrassed by the unitard?!?!?
UMMMM, O-KAY!
She is screaming for one of my foster mother's pep talks "you are not the prettiest, or the smartest, your hair looks like Jesus can take a joke and God knows I won't take you out in public after you have eaten corn, but you always wear the cutest shoes and that has to count for something!"

Scarlet, I'm so glad you mentioned the line Jessie gave Michelle about buying Hawaii. That was HI-larious!!! I nearly choked on my popcorn!

I think I'd like to hire the houseguests to sing a dirge at my funeral. They're good.

Dan's look into the camera while hugging Jessie was priceless. It would have been funnier had he counted out his 10 seconds on his hands though. : )

Jerry is worse than a kindergartner when it comes to tattling. Why mention what Memphis said about the 30 year olds fighting? Memphis said it in jest...it was funny even. Colonel Tattler has to make a big deal out of EVERYthing.

I just don't get Jerry's splitting up April's money as a good plan?? For april, at least. I'd be all "No way." And why then didn't Libra take the veto? I just don't get it..!! didnt' want to rock the boat? But.. but.. she knew she watned Jessie out at that point..!?!? Someone, please, help me understand!

This one time, when I was having a really bad year and I was totally poor, I celebrated my birthday all by myself with a giant cookie that I decorated with Easy-Cheese and spelled out my full name (including middle name) in cursive. Then I plunked a votive candle in the middle of it and hugged myself and sang "Happy Birthday to meeee..." and then I ate the cookie and cried myself to sleep.

That cookie last night was sadder than the one I had.

love, J-Mo :)

duckncvr

Jesse had the VETO but April still had Jerry and Libra in play plus 10,000. She did exactly what she thought should get Memphis booted from the game, took the luxury prize thinking Jerry or Libra would take the veto. Well, Jerry was right to make a deal with April for half the money cause he could have just let Jesse keep the VETO. I don't understand why he wanted to give Libra some of the money though because no matter what was in Libra's trophy, the plan should have been for her to trade whatever it was for the VETO. So, in essesence, Jerry's deal made perfect sense, just not the part about giving Libra 1/3 of the money. I'm Fayellis1 and I approved this message

To Fayellis1

Actually it made sense for Jerry to give Libra part of the cash because than he wouldn't be stuck with the Unitard in case she stole the veto from him

For 5,000 bucks, I would have worn the unitard :0)!

Wow. I had an actual physical reaction to this episode. I was actually feeling anxious by the end with all of the yelling.

Never before on any show, has one episode cause my complete hatred for so many people.

Jerry: I kind of liked you because you were the underdog. However, you tattle just like a little kid.

Michelle: Dear Lord. Classy, with the whole skank slut bitch (or whatever). Judging Libra as a mother. She is just extremely embarassed to wear it because she is insecure with her body.

April: What...A....Bitch. The way she came in there to confront Keesha and Libra. All high and mighty, telling Keesha that she would get to her later. When she gets going her eyes just look crazy!

Memphis: The whole 30 year old woman comment...Dude, aren't you the one that flipped out on a 100 year old great grandpa for calling you a womanizer. Whatever...hypocrite.

Jessie: Still a total douchebag. I apologize for being honest. Whatever. I do have to give you props for making me laugh. I guess I didn't do well because hockey is like golf, and I've never golfed bc my back is too big. Always and excuse.

Keesha, Olie, Dan, Libra, Renny are all hanging on by a thread!

As a mother of 15 month old with a really awesome husband, I can only say that I would have taken the Hawaii vacation, too. Discussed it with my hubby and he agreed.

Michelle is icky and I can't feel sorry for someone who constantly feels sorry for themselves. In 5th place in a competition, do you really expect to win a vacation?

Just so you know, April's money was NOT split three ways. At least not equally anyways. She kept 5 of those dumb gold bars for herself, gave 4 to Jerry in order to solidify him not using the Veto, and gave 1 to Libra, who had already won the vacation.

I think Libra taking the vacation was the stupidest thing I've ever seen. First of all, it puts a target on her back. Michelle is so after her now. Secondly, I'm sorry but, for her to not even want to know what's going on with her kids, to not even want something resembling communication with them is ridiculous. She just couldn't care less about them, that's obvious. I say this as a mother of a one year old, and I know not all mothers are alike, so some of you may hate me for hating her :) (to whoever was writing up there that other reality contestants are leaving their young children...i don't care if they're male or female, leaving infants is disgusting. And leaving a pregnant woman alone with three children! I want to personally strangle that guy)

I thought Michelle's tantrum, however, was hilarious and almost worth all of this. I am always so surprised when people get attached to their prizes in these games. Like Sheila who was so surprised that Ryan took her money. Hello! People are greedy!

I saw absolutely no problem with Libra taking the trip over a letter from home. Like many people have pointed out, it's not like the kids can write, and the fact that she has confidence in her husband taking care of her kids, with the help of her mother, says that they're well adjusted kids. Like someone else said, take the kids with you on the trip, or enjoy a romantic vacation, and you've created memories as a family. Libra is in a good position and chances are at some point she'll win an HOH, at which time, they get a letter from home anyway. It's not like you get a vacation as a prize every week.

I about died when April won the 10,000. First of all she's the one that complains that Memphis won a car (get over it). But also she has told the other houseguests that she makes 126,000 a year at her job.

Scarlet-that was my favorite line too! Who knew Hawaii was such a bargain? You think Manhattan is still~$24?

Does Dan look like B.J. Novack from the office? I guess he got bored during the writer strike.

There are opportunities to get a letter every week if you can win HOH. There's only one opportunity for a Hawaiian vacation. If what she said on the show tonight is true and that her husband was planning on a trip for them afterwards, why not take the free one? And it doesn't matter whether Libra has a vacation or a letter from home, because: she still sucks.

And I hate to repeat myself, but if Michelle had wanted to keep the vacation, she could have, I don't know, DONE BETTER IN THE COMPETITON. Unitard looks good on you, Loser McFifthPlace.

>And I hate to repeat myself, but if Michelle had wanted to keep the vacation, she could have, I don't know, DONE BETTER IN THE COMPETITON. Unitard looks good on you, Loser McFifthPlace.

This is why I like you. I screamed this (or at least a close version) at the tv during the episode, and several times yesterday while discussing the episode. =)

Hi all. Great recap.

Couple of things though. Maybe I missed it but what did Jessie douchfag lie about or even add to the story when he went upstairs to tell Apreal and Holly what Liberal and Kieche were gabbing about?

Libra went on and on and on about how f-ed up it was of April to blow her off as if she couldn't win anything and Keesha went on and on about how f-ed up it was that miss hignmighty thought she could tell her who she could talk to and who she couldn't because if she wanted to talk to Memphis.. she's damn well gonna do it.... too infinity and beyond. So in Jessie's effort to add 2 + 2, he deduced that since Keesha was pissed off about being looked down on for talking to Steven... the same thing must have happened because she was talking to Memphis. The basic message Jessie relayed was that Libra was pissed off and badmouthing April so Keesha jumped on the bandwagon to do a little bashin... and here's what Keesha said... (vomit). Jesse said the name Steven because it related to what Keesha was pissed off about as it lead to Memphis. As far as I saw, he didn't even get the chance to tell them much of anything that Lib-brah said.

At this point, April and Ollie should have been smart enough to step back and go... wait a minute, only two people heard April when she said that she felt disrespected by Keesha immediately swooning with Memphis knowing they are kicking him out next... and if Keesha is over there telling him everything to betray their alliance then Keesha will find her snotty butt on the block next. Those two people were Ollie and Renny. Which means for Keesha to now know, Renny must have told her because they have an alliance of their own. Maybe I missed the part where this info was revealed to the HG including Jessie who would not have known anything about it at all had it not been for overhearing the ladies whispering gabfest. Where was the call out on that?

I watched as Libra and Keesha dug themselves a hole, latched on to several HG's ankles in an effort to pull them down along side them, then try to claw their way out only to sink back down further as they gave the finger to anyone who in that moment saw them as they really were.

The truth that they could only scoff at, was when they tried to call Jessie out on the play by play... Jessie, you, the firestarter just had to go upstairs and start some shit - right. Then you had to go tell April that we were talkin shit about her - right. Scoff, The End. Dayum, dem ho's is buttugly when they are backed into a corner.

Personally I was hoping that bitchfest was enough to get all of Keesha's 'I can't stand the frigging bitch to be honest with ya's' out of her system once and for all. But then again she says that about any bitch who is not in the room with her at the time.

You'd think at some point one of them would have the cahones to say... you know what.. I know I gave you my word and all, but I've changed my mind, I don't really like you so our alliance is over, I'm gonna vote for who I want out of the house. Wouldn't that be less "fake" Keesha honey? Apparently not though since this is 'man I hate the fact that the camera adds 10 pounds so I'm gonna head off to saran wrap myself and sit in the sauna for an hour' - Keesha's second 'I hate that Barbie bitch April so stop comparing us two blondes' rant which in turn leads to some fake ass kissing until she gets in another room alone with someone who will listen to her bitch about all the fake ass kissers in the house.

Meanwhile, Libra wants respect as a fierce competitor as she swears up and down that Jessie is lying about her talking shit? And she says all this with a straight face (although appears to be shocked, offended, arrogant and outraged)?

Then there's April who feels disrespected when the wind blows the wrong way because her idea of an alliance is that you make one, draw a line in the sand and turn your nose up to anyone who isn't in the in-crowd as you pick them off and kick them out one by one. No need to socialize with the enemy until the number of house guests get to 6 or less. So they can just talk to the hand cause it's all been planned by the band.

Are these girls dealing with adolescence and puberty issues on the playground or what?

From my side, this fight could have been easily diffused without going through 4 hours of drama.

Libra, I was told that you have a problem with me. So you talkin shit about me bahind my back?

Yep.

Keesha, I was told that you have a problem with me. So you talkin shit about me behind my back?

Yep.

Renny, I was told that you have a problem with me. So you talkin shit about me behind my back?

Yep.

Alrighty then, now it's my turn to bring some shit!

Have a seat.

--

Sidenote, do you guys watch the HG when they are left, for one reason or another, by themselves? OMG! Libra is the most fun to watch. She has absolutely no clue what to do without another person around. Her paranonia caused her to constantly follow Keesha around. Heaven forbid a shit talking session goes on without her because if it does, she will be the topic of it. It's a classic sign of the guilty and untrustworthy.

Oops, fell a little behind last week, just watched this episode today...anyhoo...

I love how Libra's face lit up: "Oh boy! Two more weeks away from my kids! For free!"

Probably didn't matter what destination, she would have taken it.

Hmmm...they say that a group of women will eventually fall into the same cycle. You think? Love how Renny was kind of on the outside of that....until she got the hot flash at Jerry!
