Big Brother 10: Live feeds report - August 18

Those who have been following the reports know that Dan won the Power of Veto. But, that sly vixen Renny has been holding out to everyone who she'd put up if Dan decides to save one of the nominees. April has been at Dan, as has Ollie, to try to get him to save her. She knows that she's the target and the veto save would be the only way she'll remain in the house after Thursday. April and Ollie were even willing to try to bribe Dan with $1,000 of the BB gold bar money April won. Jerry has worked Dan in his own way -- apologizing for calling him Judas.

But it's pretty much to no avail. What Keesha, Dan, and Memphis would want to happen is for Ollie and April to be on the block. Renny isn't going to put Ollie on the block. Now, I don't know why, but she really has a soft spot for him. He's played such a non-game other than being April's flying monkey that I'm not sure why Renny feels the way she does. She's actually playing things very shrewd by first not telling anyone in advance who she was going to nominate, and now letting them worry that Memphis will go on the block if a nominee is saved. By doing that, she's all but forcing Dan to not use the veto unless he wants to take the chance. Michelle, Keesha, and Ollie are safe with Renny as far as going on the block and the veto holding saves Dan.

Dan isn't a fool. Although Memphis was extremely upset with Jerry's Judas comments, Dan takes things like that in stride (and is the better man for it, methinks). I don't think Dan really trusts his place with anyone in the house, but numbers alone will keep him with Renny, Keesha, and Memphis. Michelle has been scheming with Ollie and April as of late, not a wise move for her. Renny likes Michelle to a point, but she doesn't trust her the way she trusts Keesha. Renny is more leery of Memphis than she is of Dan, but Dan ain't no Keesha in her corner either. But Dan made the best move for Renny and for himself -- he did NOT use the Power of Veto today. So, it's still April and Jerry on the block and it's likely to be a 3-2 or 4-1 vote to evict April on Thursday.

In house crumbs:

• Michelle is getting upset because Dan hasn't told her what he's doing. She wanted information on whether Jerry offered him a deal and info on the gold bars offer and he really didn't tell her much at all.
• Renny once again assured Jerry he won't be going home this week.
• Memphis breathed a sigh of relief when Dan didn't use the veto. Although he and Dan have an alliance of sorts, Dan didn't even tell him if he was going to use it or not.
• April told Ollie that she's going to tell production not to give Keesha any more alcohol because she's an alcoholic. Oh ... and not only does she have this thing about being prettier than Keesha, she also thinks she's better spoken. I'll admit Keesha's high-pitched voice and loudness grate me, but as far as proper English and "well-spoken," they're about even in my book.
• This morning Keesha told Michelle that if they're given alcohol tonight, she thinks she'll skip it.
  
• Ollie claimed he didn't sleep well last night because Michelle put Holly the stuffed dog on his back. I'm sure the weight was a burden to bear, eh?
• April thinks that Dan and Memphis would take Jerry to the end because they know they can beat him.
• Dan must have mentioned in his speech that he was offered money to use the veto because Memphis and Michelle were talking about it after the meeting. From what I've seen/heard, the only one he mentioned it to was Renny.
• Michelle told Renny that April is telling her how much Jerry is hanging out with Memphis and Dan lately.
• April and Ollie planned for their live happily ever after days after Big Brother.
• Dan trapped a praying mantis under a plastic jar upsetting both Keesha and Jerry. They thought it would die from the heat. After he let it go, Jerry made a big deal about how bad Dan was to trap it. So Jerry poured pool water with chlorine over it to make it feel better.
• I don't think anyone this season is a Mensa member.
