Big Brother: Week 8 Power of Veto Recap

Big Brother 10: Dan Rescued by Memphis - Recap

Well, when it comes to Big Brother, the saying really holds true: "Expect the unexpected". Who would have predicted that, on Sunday night, Jerry would win HOH when it mattered most? It seemed that Dan and Memphis would be his targets but Memphis is quite the little deal maker. He shook hands and agreed to go with Jerry to final two when we're all pretty sure he has no intention of keeping that promise. Memphis kept himself off the block but Dan still went up against Keesha. Tonight's POV competition was perhaps the most important of the season, as nobody felt safe. Read on to find out who won, who's safe, and who's in danger of being evicted.

Memphis, The Deal Maker

Memphis has final two deals with everyone in the house, except Renny. Somehow, he thinks that this won't come back to haunt him or become his undoing in the game. He probably doesn't care because all he wants is someone, anyone, to take him to final two. Second place leaves with 50K and he's okay with that. Still, I'm hoping that his true alliance is, in fact, The Renegades and he and Dan coast to the finale together.

Memphis, The Veto Winner

Don't ask me how it took Renny something like 23 minutes to recognize the morphed faces of Big Brother houseguests as babies but it did. She couldn't have moved slower if she tried. When the times were revealed, it came down to Memphis and Dan, who both finished in under 3 minutes. Memphis ended up being 8 seconds faster and won the POV. He did decide to use it, breaking his deal with Jerry, and keeping his with Dan, pulling him off the block. With no other choice, Renny is now up on the block against Keesha.

Memphis, The Power Holder

Okay, so tonight's episode was fairly boring outside of Dan and Renny's shenanigan's and Memphis's wheels and deals. I was left to try to sort out what will happen on Thursday's live eviction. My gut says that Renny will go but if The Renegades have a brain, they'll unload Keesha while they have the opportunity.

Big Brother 10: Week 8 Eviction, Live Results

Big Brother, nearing the end, is on the verge of a victorious alliance. One could already make the argument that an alliance has already won. Keesha, Dan, Memphis and Renny have worked as a fearsome foursome for some time, and have more or less come out victorious. I'd like to say that it was a surprise, and that tons of luck was involved, but I'm not convinced that's the case. Those were, arguably, the four best players in the game on Big Brother 10, and they deserve the success they've attained. Soon, the alliance will have to start to eat their own, and that's what I am looking forward to. I'll be here throughout tonight's episode, dropping thought bombs on an unsuspecting public. Feel free to read along and (possibly) find ultimate contentment.

Poor Renny. We'll miss you, you saucy old minx.

Ech. Memphis is sporting the type of faux-hawk only a Mixologist would wear. On the bright side, Keesha is flaunting some excellent cleavage tonight. Many thanks, Wing Dispenser.

Keesha is upset that she's up on the block versus her best friend in the house, Renny. Jerry is also upset that he was betrayed by Renny. Dan, clearly, is happy with what went down. Memphis is waiting for Jerry to blow up at him.

Jerry and Keesha speak in the HoH room. Jerry says that he's Keesha's chance at a half million. He wants Keesha to team up with him and help get Memphis gone.

Jerry tells Dan that the reason Memphis is keeping him around is because Memphis thinks he can beat Dan in the final two. Jerry spouts off a bunch of random crap to Dan while drinking a Bud Light.

Memphis is worried about Keesha – he doesn't want her to believe what Jerry is spouting.

Renny and Keesha have a teary eyed discussion while drinking wine. Awww! This isn't as cringe-inducing as it could have been. It feels fairly heartfelt, and not BS.

We meet Ashley, Memphis's girlfriend. She seems cool. Memphis used to really cocky and arrogant, and now he's a little better. He had some crappy childhood things, and he's done his best to get over those things. He and Ashley have been together for three years.

Julie shows the houseguests the video of Jerry falling into the pool. Everyone enjoys it very much.

Later, we're checking in with the jury house.

Let's talk with Jerry in the HoH room. Jerry says he tried to make deals with everyone.

Two weeks ago - Jury House. LIbra is happy to see April walk in the door. One week later, Michelle walks into the house and proclaims, "Guess who got back-doored?" Oooookay. Michelle and April talk so much crap about Keesha - it's freaking unbelievable. April is the biggest bitch ever. Sorry if you like her, because you shouldn't.

They watch Dan's sweet speech. Next, Ollie walks into the jury house. This makes April happy and sad. She says that yes, she will be Ollie's boyfriend.

Julie Chen looks like she's going on a safari....in an adult film.

Renny and Keesha give their speeches. Renny talks about Keesha and her friendship, and gives a fighting speech. Keesha, seriously, spectacular cleavage. She gives a kind, gracious little speech. Time for the vote.

Memphis votes to evict Renny.

Dan votes to evict Renny.

RENNY HAS BEEN EVICTED!!

Renny talks to Julie, watches the goodbye videos from her houseguests. Everyone has very nice things to say about Renny. Keesha cries when she says goodbye.

Julie addresses the houseguests. Earlier today, the players were shown images from various competitions. They are shown those images one more time. Now, the players head to the backyard for the HoH challenge.

HoH time. Dan vs. Memphis vs. Keesha. It's called "Freeze Frame." The players all stand on a big circle, walled off from each other. They are asked true/false questions about the pictures.

Dan got every question right, and wins. Keesha got absolutely destroyed.

Dan is the new Head of Household.

Umm...there's a huge sumo, buddha guy siting in the Big Brother living room. "The houseguests have a big surprise waiting for them," says Julie. Weird.

The buddha guy holds a clue to an upcoming luxury challenge, that will allow someone to leave the Big Brother house.

The houseguests encounter buddha guy. He's frightening.

Reeny eviction interview

Exlcusive Interview: Renny, from 'Big Brother 10'

'Big Brother 10''s Renny: EW's exit interview

After all that we've seen on Big Brother, it is near impossible to dislike Renny. Call her annoying, call her insane, call her volatile, whatever, Renny's overarching goodness is difficult to ignore. The New Orleans lady about town played a solid game, putting forth a veiled sort of intelligence. Renny knows people, and generally held all the right suspicions about her fellow houseguests, especially later in the Big Brother season. Her presence will be missed, though I'd love some footage of Renny defending Keesha's honor in the jury house. Renny kindly answered some email questions we sent her before making the long trek to the jury house. You will find the answers, unedited and in their entirety, below.

Renny, how much different was the Big Brother experience from what you expected it to be?

It was much more difficult than I ever could imagine. The difference being it's much more work in manuering people than I expected.

What was the most pleasant surprise and why? Biggest disappointment?

The most pleasant surprise was the steak and Lobster feast. The biggest disappointment naturally would be the fact I lost the game.

Did you have a gameplan going into the house? Did you follow it?

I had a gameplan going into the house. I followed it as best I could, however gameplans somehow don't pan out. Actually when your playing in the BB house you sometimes have to go with the game plays you.

Looking back on the season, what was the biggest mistake you made in the Big Brother house?

The biggest mistake I made was not winning the Rock A Bye Veto.

What would you have done differently if given the chance?

I would have studied the Memory Wall with my glasses and magnifying glass.

Who, if anyone, do you think was unlucky and should have gotten farther in the game?

Angie was unlucky with Keesha, and I feel she should have gotten further in the game.

Is there anyone who you wish you had had a better relationship with in the house?

I had relationships with the houseguests I connected with. If I didn't have a relationship in the house it wasn't meant to be. So the answer is no one!
