First post functionally blank so no spoilers show in mouseover…
There are OPEN SPOILERS in this thread…DO NOT READ if you don’t want to be spoiled! You have been warned!
Okay, I don’t normally do this, but this little dust-up was too delicious to pass up. Memphis won the Power of Veto and took himself off the block.
Dan was really too clever for his own good again, and tried to do some sort of round-robin thing where he asked everyone who they wanted put up. Now, Dan’s alliance of Memphis, Renny, and Keesha KNOW about the deal he made with Ollie, and about all the provisions. Memphis’s pissed-offedness at being nominated was mostly an act. Dan and he had made that decision before the nomination ceremony.
So, Dan did some kind of pointless round-robin thing with naming the person who’d go up. Ollie wanted Keesha, but Dan said she was protected because she’s in the inner core of the alliance. So Ollie picked Renny. Dan went to Renny and told her that Ollie had picked her (because Renny still likes Ollie (well, liked, before the events of today) for some reason). There was big brouhaha before the veto over this whole thing.
Veto Ceremony. Memphis takes himself off. Dan puts up MICHELLE. Michelle is stunned but relatively calm (compared to the “Fucking Leotahd!” Diary Room, anyway) trying to get an explanation out of Dan. Ollie is pissed. After the Veto Ceremony, he goes out to the outdoor couches, where Dan, Memphis and Keesha are talking, and tries to tell them the details of the deal he made with Dan (while Michelle interjects completely batshit suspicions that Dan is a producer plant (she thinks she saw Monica in the cafeteria when they were in pre-game sequester, but all she keeps spouting is “He’s a plant! Monica was in the cafeteria!”)). And Ollie keeps interrupting her, and interrupting Dan, and interrupting Memphis, and interrupting Keesha, trying to get the details of the deal out. And all of Dan’s allies shrug their shoulders and say “We know.” Pisses Ollie off even more!
Things degrade, and Ollie tells Memphis to “Suck my dick, you little faggot!” Not cool. Memphis comes about thisclose to clocking him.
Later, Ollie is circling the backyard like some kind of toy train, mumbling to himself, “Just a game, huh? Just a game? It’s just a game?” Well…yeah. Duh.
Anyway, at one point, Ollie flips the weightbar off of the weightbench. Big Brother calls him into the Diary Room after that and Ollie interrupts BB, yelling “F You!” (Yes, he actually says “F”, not “fuck”). Ollie eventually goes inside, knocks over a chair, pulls all of the keys out of the slots on the memory wall, and breaks one of the big lollipops on the counter in the kitchen. BB calls him in again, and he finally goes in.
Ollie was in the DR for about an hour. Apparently they didn’t toss him out, but I don’t know if there’s a penalty nom or something in the future for him, either.
Too freaking funny!
A buddy of mine from work went to college with and was on the Iowa State Football team with Ollie (or, as he knows him as, Brian Ollie). He says that Ollie is the biggest horndog he’s ever met and that he was the guy who would say something to every girl that ever walked past him. I’ll see if I can get more details.
You always have to keep an eye on the preacher’s kid. Always.
Damn you, jayjay, teasing me with your OPEN SPOILER warning! I was circling the thread title several times with my mouse, trying not to click on it but I couldn’t resist.
That will be fun to watch tonight. I wonder how much they’ll cut out.
Damn you and such.[/Stewie]
I missed the show. Who is Monica? Why would seeing her in the cafeteria make her think Dan is a plant? Any reason beyond the batshit craziness?
Monica is Dan’s girlfriend. When Michelle saw her picture in Dan’s HoH room, she thought she recognized her as someone she was seeing during pre-show sequester. So that engendered all of the nuttery about Dan being a producer plant…they think Monica isn’t really Dan’s girlfriend, but a producer whose image was used in that photo to pretend to be Monica. Why Dan can’t be a plant and still have a true backstory instead of having all of it made up, I don’t know. You’d have to ask the Portuguese Princess.
Thanks! This sounds like a juicy episode. I’ll have to try and see it before Tuesday’s night’s.
This is all stuff that happened Monday on the live feeds, not something from Sunday night’s episode. That’s why it was marked spoiler.
Oh, okay. I’ll see it all on Tuesday’s show then.
Probably first half-hour of Thursday’s, actually, since most of it happened after the Veto Ceremony, and Tuesday’s show always ends with the Veto Ceremony.
This is going to be a great week. There’s a double eviction on Thursday as well. Considering that, I wonder if they will show some of yesterday’s shenanigans on tonight’s show even though that’s not how it’s usually done. I don’t know how they’ll squeeze that in plus the double eviction all on Thursday.
Eurgh…I forgot about the DE. Maybe they will. Or maybe they’ll skip over it completely. It wouldn’t be the first thing they’ve edited out of the narrative this season.
It would suck if they edited it out entirely. I really want to see Ollie flip out.
Watch it, I am the preacher’s kid!
Okay, so he’s only a part-time preacher…
Well I married a preacher’s kid. Think of what my life must be like. 
It was a good episode, but not much of the flipping out. I hope they squeeze it in on tomorrow’s DE show.
Can anybody explain to me why everybody in the house still seemed to like Michelle after the power-mad Queen of Hearts act while she was HoH. Does she just seem like a psycho on the edited for show version? Is she different in the live feeds that we don’t see on TV?
Even though I don’t like him, I’m glad Jerry got the phone call. He probably needed it the most.
What was Dan’s thinking in getting everybody to name another houseguest before he replaced Memphis with Michelle. I missed how he went from, “Everybody say the name of another houseguest”, to, “Okay, Michelle you’re on the block.” It’s not like everybody named Michelle as their choice.
Yeah, he really is too clever for his own good sometimes. I think the roulette thing was kind of stupid and lame and his eventual pick for replacement really didn’t “connect” to it. It was kind of pointless.
I mean, I love Dan…he’s probably my favorite weasel houseguest since Dr. Will, but he really does sometimes step in his own self-created trail of rascal-grease…
Dan missed an opportunity to put Michelle on the block for not following his rules. He stated that if the person said anything other than a name, they would be immediately put on the block. When Michelle said “Okay, Keesha”, she violated that rule, in the strictest interpretation, because of the word “Okay”, so Dan could have immediately put her up.
However, Dan could not pass up the “fireworks” that he had planned. He wanted Ollie to say Renny so Renny would say Ollie. In the past, Renny said she liked Ollie.
Also, he said you better know if someone else is betting on your safety. Ollie made a bet on Michelle’s safety, he lost the “bet”, so Michelle went on the block.
This was rather nonsensical, because there wasn’t a bet involved, it was more about trust. He wanted to send a message to Michelle that Ollie was betting with her safety.
All in all, it did not accomplish Dan’s goal of walking away with no blood on his hands, because I think everyone is now annoyed at him. However, it was a fairly sound plan because Michelle is certain to go and Dan is probably safe from the next elimination.
If Keesha, Renny, or Memphis win, Dan is safe. If Ollie or Jerry win, they put up two of the four person alliance. However, Dan just need to convince the other two votes in his alliance to keep him around.
But in the Double Elim, if Michelle is out, that second elimination is critical for Dan. If Jerry or Ollie win power, Dan could be a victim of an insta-oust.
