Big Brother 10: Live feeds report - August 22

Well, Ollie hasn't had a chance to pine too much. First there was the HOH comp and since then Michelle has practically been attached to his hip. No, no sex action. That's a good thing, for sure. I don't think I could take any more humping under the covers when I'm looking for brouhahas and people just making fools of themselves. If I wanted porn, I'm sure there are better venues.

My special report on the HOH endurance competition broke down who fell out when, but that's turned into only a part of the story. What's made the whole thing complex is the deal Dan made for Ollie to drop out of the comp. (Yes, Dan is the new HOH if you didn't hear.) The feeds were blocked for a good twenty minutes after Memphis went down and just after they returned, a snippet of conversation between Ollie and Dan with the words "deal" and "done." Then Ollie went down.

And now today, it seems that different people think the deal included different things. It seems to boil down to Dan telling Ollie he and someone he chose (most likely Michelle) would not be nominated. And, if the veto is used, Ollie gets to choose the replacement nominee. That's the basic version. Another version has Ollie selecting one of the initial nominees. It's beginning to look like Dan might have sold his soul to the ghost of April or something.

But it might work out. I fear we'd still be still be watching them hang on the vines had a deal not been struck. Ollie wants Memphis out and Dan, left to his own devices considering who he can't put on the block due to the deal, wouldn't mind at all if Jerry goes home. Dan has told Keesha he won't put her on the block. It's looking like it's probably going to be Jerry and Memphis nominated for eviction later tonight. If the POV is used, it's a tough call who would be the replacement.

As Michelle has gravitated towards Ollie and Memphis has become a bit of a lone wolf, it looks like the Renny, Keesha, and Dan bonds have strengthened. Sure, Dan is still a bit close with Memphis, but I think he's more concerned with being in with a group which will get him further along in the game. Memphis is trying to tell Dan he can't trust Renny. Memphis has also decided that Michelle has turned into a deceitful little so-and-so. Dan listens to everyone and I think he absorbs it all. But he's very hard to read, harder than Renny was last week as HOH.

In house crumbs:

• Dan seems to want Jerry out more than anyone else. It seems that the majority vote might support that.
• Dan admits he might have given away too much with his HOH win deal.
• They got to eat pizza last night after the comp.
• Dan wants everyone to talk to him before the nominations. As I write this up, Memphis is in there with him now. Memphis believes he'll be on the block, yet they're making future plans.
• Michelle, in her talk with Dan, seems sure she won't be on the block due to the deal.
• Dan, Memphis, Renny, and Keesha don't trust Ollie.
• Jerry, Ollie, Renny, Michelle (lately) and sometimes Dan and Keesha, have voiced trust concerns about Memphis.
  
• Dan previously promised not to put up either Keesha or Renny.
• All of a sudden Ollie stopped complaining about Jerry stalking him and they seem to be BFF.
• Memphis is worried that if he goes on the block with Jerry, Renny will want him out. Dan told him he did what Renny wanted last week, he'd remind her.
