Am I the only one who noticed that as soon as they threw the worms onto Libra she tried to form an alliance with them? I probably am because I think I'm the only one who noticed that Michelle looks EXACTLY like Jessie in drag.

As for Jerry, I really wanted to like him but he's such a tool. Somewhere in a cave in Afghanistan theres a rebel pasting clips of Jerry together to make an al qaeda recruiting video.

Jessie is such a tool. He's Such an Idoit!...I'd still hit it though!

Jerry could probably go far in the game if he'd lay off the stupid, judgemental comments. Who cares if Memphis is a poonhound, slings beer, and rocks a douchy fauxhawk? You're not down at the VFW watching Fox News with your old 'Nam buddies so lay low, you crusty old shit.

The look on Keesha's face when crazy Jessie was accosting her in the HOH room let you know that if she wasn't in a house with 10 other people and 100 cameras, she would have maced his ass. Guile and charm are apparently not ingredients in his protein shakes.

I was a big fan of Angie's when I first saw her, but the more I watch all I can notice is her gigantic jaw. I realize I'm the only guy on here looking at the women, so this is mainly an observation to myself.

There were just too many funny things in this recap to name them all. But am I the only one who likes Jessie? I hope he survives this week, just so the comedy can continue. I like Angie, she's just not as interesting.

Those flower costumes were a riot. LOL, Big Brother!

dear god no! please let jessie get voted out tomorrow! he's a douche...and a half.

No Sanchez, you're not alone...it's just that there's not a lot to look at. I can't get past Angie's lack of an upper lip, although the body's nice enough.

I think Keesha is gorgeous, despite the overdone makeup and the stupid name and what I presume to be fake tits. I'm really wishing she'd smarten up. But I don't think it's going to happen.

April...ick. Just washed up. And her counterpart Libra (April almost spelled backward?)

Libra...left her 5-month-old kids behind...there's no excuse for that, barring a prison sentence. She deserves to be shot.

Lickitysplit, I agree Jessie should stay, I don't really like Jessie, but at least he's entertaining, I can laugh at him. Angie hasn't really done or said anything up until this point and she's kind of dull, so I don't actually mind her leaving.

I get everybody except Angie, she's the only one I don't really get and from what I'm hearing she desn't want to be there anyway so.

"Will Libra be outed to her coven as a tow-face liar?"

When has she ever been that? Why dont you talk about Angie and all the sh*t she talks about Libra.

"Libra...left her 5-month-old kids behind...there's no excuse for that, barring a prison sentence. She deserves to be shot."

She is married and has a supporting family, so why do you feel its up to you to judge her. If she wins the money could be use for college funds and such. And how much do you remember at 5 months. I surely dont remember sh*t.

Also Angie is boring, she acts like she doesnt want to be there and I am wondering why she ever signed up for the show. All she does on the live feed is talk to the "womanizing" Memphis. Angie = ratings disaster.

Why did Memphis get so mad? He is the person who said in his pre BB interview that he "get women to do everything for him."

I'm going to agree with asmaj. Libra isn't a liar...she's just a sh*t starter and she's so far in that she can't get herself out unless she just shuts up!

I like Angie. I think she is really attractive. Nice body and she seems like fun(at least of the feeds).

Keesha seems like she can't think for herself. Granted Jessie made soime good points but if he would talk to her and not attack her she might listen!

I still don't understand why the Memphis/Angie/Jessie alliance didn't just throw the comp to Jessie. Once Keesha went off 10 minutes later Memphis should have left.

THen Libra/Ollie would have went off after and Angie would have gone off etc etc till Jessie is the last one. That comp shouldn't have lasted the full 60 minutes if they were thinking

I like Keesha but it's clear she's doomed. If Jessie stays he'll go after her in a heartbeat.

As far as judging Libra or anyone else on this show, knowing you're going to be recorded 24 hours a day for America, she had to expect people would comment on her family life. After all, we comment on everyone else's.

If Libra cared (about what people think, much less her babies) she wouldn't have gone on the show.

asmaj:

Leaving five month old children for three months means that when you get back, they will not remember you. That is a traumatic experience, the same as if they were kidnapped (although, they will still have their dad around, I guess).

You may not remember your early years, but they have shaped you. It is pretty despicable what Libra has done for money. I am saying all of this as a mother of a one year old, so I know I'm biased, but still!!

in case you wondered the banner said:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (NAME UNCLEAR) WE (HEART SYMBOL) YOU.

It looked like simlish to the houseguests because it was backwards to their view.

Asmaj, you clearly have no children, and know nothing about children, especially infants.

Greed just isn't a good excuse, doesn't matter how much your family supports you.

She's an annoying character anyway, hate that catty, cliquish type.

Hmm...so maybe her kids are better off that she's gone?

OMG, where did that Jessie photo come from? That burned my eyes.

I just had to laugh when Jessie used the prison analogy to his being on the block. What was it he said...something about being unfairly accused blah, blah, blah. I too have love/hate feelings for Jessie. He has said or done something in each episode that made me chuckle. He's the screwdriver of the Toolbelt.

youre not the only one that likes jesse, lickitysplit! yeah he can be a douche, but what 22 year old frat guy isnt? but does anyone else think he is gay? according to dlisted he is. apparently one of his friends said this:

"He isn't ready for his parents, or the public, to know that he is gay. Jessie isn't actually open with his sexuality, but he doesn't hide it too well either. We just don't talk about it."

I, too, have a love/hate relationship with Jessie...but I'd still hit it...maybe I've been living in Alaska too long...

I seriously busted out laughing with the caption for Jerry: but ya are! Leave it to a 'mo to bust out the Bette Davis lines...I couldn't have done it any better myself

Here is her husband speaking on the topic of the kids.

[remove the 3 "?"]
http?://www.real?itybbq.com/2008/07/13/libra-bb10-m?yspace-her-hubby-speaks-out/

I think what bothers me if that if there was a new father of twins in the house, there wouldn't be all this hullabaloo. There might have been a little bit of grumbling but most people accept that fathers might need to be away from the family to try and earn more money for their keeping. But if a woman does it, it's "what kind of mother is she?" It's a terrible double standard that I am not in favor of.

It's seems to me that Libra and Scott (her husband) have the maturity to decide what is best for their family and I'm happy to see them take the nontraditional route.

"Asmaj, you clearly have no children, and know nothing about children, especially infants."

And it seems you are an overprotective parent that believes you need to be with you kids all the time. Being away for that short of a period doesn't mean her kids will be disconnected from her when she comes home and have psychological problems in the future.

"Greed just isn't a good excuse, doesn't matter how much your family supports you."

Greed or financial security for the kids education?

Okay, I got it, you work for Libra and her family. Fair enough.

We're not talking about double-standards, but an infant's psychological and emotional development. Has nothing to do with being overprotective. It has to do with being a responsible parent. You do not leave your infant unless you absolutely have no choice. Period. Nothing is worth the risk.

And hey, we're not in the 1950s here--this goes for the father as well.

And jeez, can't you think of a better way to get financial security than to famewhore yourself out to a reality television show? Sorry, this is pure greed. If she really wanted to do better for her kids, she'd make sure her education is up to scratch, and she'd get a good job. The husband too. Although obviously he's as much of a famewhore as she is.

That does it-- I officially despise Libra more than I loathe Jessie. Didn't think it was possible, but thanks to you assmaj, it now is.

Keep going!

It's so fun to be watching a show that's got everyone a buzz in here . . . enjoying the debates and the Jessie hate. He is one of those tools that will at least give us something to hate, but I'll be glad when he goes . . . hope he reads these and I hope they prove him a fool before the end. I shutter to think he's a mo like me, I do think he's probably less than 18 inches in other parts of his anatomy, was it on the show where Michelle said, "Don't cover yourself up, jessie" And for me, his butt looks flat and narrow like his head, me no likey!

And tho I'm a mo, I can appreciate that Keesha has some beautiful eyes, easier to appreciate when they are wide with fear (good call on the mace-dirty) Angie's a beaut too, but dull . . . wont be missed, and what is her issue with Libra, have there been screaming matches we've missed . . .

Libra doesn't bug me, but I hope it's not true that her kids wont recognize her after 3 months . . . that would be sad for her . . . she's actually copped to all her scheming so she's not a liar either . . .

I did like that Jerry didn't flinch while Memphis got all postal--can no one keep a secret tho--did Dan tell him about the comment, who gives a sh*t what Jerry thinks anyway, he's not exactly the hippest . . .

Thanks for all the joy, Fozzie, and should I be surprised there's dlisted fans here!!! ; ) Love me some MK!

I am really not trying to debate this situation. I just find it despicable when people they can judge the parenting style of others. Unless the parent is abusing the child then no comment is needed. You raise your kid how you want to, and they will raise their kid how they want to. And I dont think everyone who goes on a reality show is a "famewhore." Also how is the husband responding to the criticism making him a famewhore? Anyways, I am not working for the family as you somehow seem to think. I am just a fan writing about my observations.

Well, yes, you are trying to debate this situation. Not doing a great job of it, but still.

Anyway, you can't change my mind. The woman dumped her babies to be on a reality tv show.

Meanwhile...as for the banner thing, I thought the four of them agreed to make up the story about what the banner said (since they couldn't read it either). Which almost smacked of (gasp) actual game play.

Keesha is smokin', that's for damn sure. Maybe she just looks hotter when you line her up with April (see below), Renny (once blew Ben Franklin at Mardi Gras), and Michelle (possibly largest penis in the house), but I'd definitely be starting a little showmance with my little hot wing server. As soon as I could break her free from crazy ass, sexually ambiguous Jessie, that is.

And the only way April is 30 is if that's in dog years. I swear she ages 10 years every episode.

I'm also a Jessie hater but I'm still rooting for him to stay. Angie going would not really be a loss. Jessie makes for great recap material though.

Memphis is stupid. Why did he get all riled up about Jerry calling him a womanizer? Is that so offensive? He also said in the intro that women have bought him cars and jewelery, yet he insisted that he needed the car in the first challenge. He's a tool.

I can't wait for Libra to go so Keesha will be free of her stupid promise to her. Then she can align with Dan and Renny and be in the weirdest yet most awesome alliance ever!

Two things I wanted to add about asmaj's comments:

It sounds nice when you read what the dad has to say and all, but #1: No matter what anyone tells you, mothers and fathers actually have different roles in a child's upbringing, especially when we are talking about infants.

#2: It would be just as horrible for me if a father of five month old twins left for three months.

It IS true that five month olds and eight month olds are incredibly different. They will have no memory of Libra when she gets back, except possibly a vague recognition from seeing pictures of her. She won't be their mother to them.

People think she's DESPICABLE because she's put a price on her children not remembering her. $500,000. To a mother who's normal, there is no price worth that.

"I just find it despicable when people they can judge the parenting style of others. Unless the parent is abusing the child then no comment is needed."

What Libra has done, considering the age of her children, is pretty much abandonment. Abandonment doesn't really qualify as a parenting "style." What she has done can be every bit as damaging to those children and physical or verbal abuse. At the age of her children, most psychiatrists recommend that the children should not go more than 24 to 48 hours without having some form of contact with both parents. Libra chose to leave them for ninety times that period. If you can't judge her for that, then I seriously question your standards for judging other people.

I guess we agree to disagree.

Last statement. How is it abandonment if they kids are left with their dad and grandparents? I disagree that her kids will forget her in 3 months. She had 4 months already of bonding time, which I doubt will be forgotten. I have a 14 months niece that I didnt get to see for 4 months because of grad school and when I came home she remembered me. No crying, arms outs....so I think you guys are blowing the situation out of proportion.

Now I understand why I dont watch Wife Swap and Trading Spouses. I dont like to judge peoples parenting skills when they grew up in a different environment than I.

Sorry missed this.

"To a mother who's normal, there is no price worth that."

As least she is not having sex on multiple occasions like other house guests in the house.

Um, Libra had sex at least twice. So technically that is 'multiple.'

I'm not sure how you can compare a woman who abandoned her three children (the older one is still a baby too, in fact, probably needs her as much as the little ones) with a couple of single, consenting adults having sex. Even if it is icky.

Assmaj, in a few years, when you've had kids of your own, you'll understand why you're wrong, and you'll slap yourself in the forehead over the silly things you're saying now.

Presumably your niece had HER PARENTS to look after her while you were gone.

Jeez. Grad school? Really? Hard to believe.

I agree that I don't want Jessie to leave, he's just the ultimate freak on a great freakshow.

Sure is long now that they moved the show to Thursday....

'Um, Libra had sex at least twice. So technically that is 'multiple.' "

I wasnt talking about Libra having sex in the privacy of her house. I was talking about April and Ollie having sex all over the big brother house without really caring that someone was in the room with them.

I thought the people who don't make it to the jury house get to go back to their regular lives? If Libra was to get voted out before then, she would not have "abandoned" her children for three months. Would you all still be so upset if she had been the first to go? I really don't think anyone has the right to judge her. Judging people is wrong, plain and simple. And besides, can you honestly and truly say that it would have been easy for you to turn the offer down to be on Big Brother? I highly doubt it...

Asmaj:

Two wrongs don't make a right. Or something like that...

Other people having sex has nothing to do with Libra leaving her young children.

Basically, I feel that you are refusing to take what we say into consideration and perhaps research the many, many scientific journals and parenting guides that prove us right. That is unfortunate for you.

Just Jesse:

The facts are that Libra is obviously hoping to make it to the end of the game, so even if she were voted out the first week and allowed to go back home to her kids, those were not her original intentions. She wants to be gone for three months. Her decision would still make me upset.

I know people are throwing around the word "judgment" a lot, but seriously, you all judge people too. For probably a lot less harmful things than this Libra situation, so I just think it's comical that you're all of a sudden so righteous. I mean, what's the fun of tvgasm if not to judge people ;)

You would judge an abusive mom wouldn't you? Well, that is what I believe Libra to be.

Wait a minute, waaaait just a damn minute here! Did someone toss out the accusation that the people writing things on TVgasm-dot-com might just be judgmental in some form or another? Either recappers or commenters? Heavens! *clutches pearls*

I'm sorry, but being judgmental is kind of the whole point of this site, ain't it? These people sign on for this when they agree to be on a real-ality show, it's exactly what they are seeking, for someone to agree to be filmed 24 hours a day (and divulge all kinds of information about their personal life) and then complain about how they are portrayed is ludicrous and disingenuous at best.

Besides, being judgmental is still better than just plain mental.

love, J-Mo :)

J-Mo,

"clutches pearls" LOL

thanks for making my point in an hilarious fashion.

loiseau_chante,

Funny that you point out Libra is "obviously hoping to make it to the end of the game". Well, no duh! They all are!

By the way, if you can have your opinion on the situation, why can't I? Don't jump down my throat please.

You can have your opinion. I was more responding in general after the first paragraph because lots of people have been saying Libra can do whatever the f*** she wants with her kids and I can't/shouldn't judge her, and I was starting to get pissed off. It happens.
