'Big Brother 10' Big boys don't cry!

Big Brother 10 continued to be utterly shocking tonight, with the players pulling out all the stops to create dynamic twists and turns, upending alliances and double crossing their partners in ways that no one saw coming! At least in my own little Utopian dream world that is what happened. Reality was about the polar opposite of that.

But you know we review first! Renny won the HoH, which relieved Keesha, Memphis and Dan, as she immediately drew one target on April. The other was up in the air, though everyone else wanted her to pick Ollie to break up the showmance. However, Ollie suggested Jerry to Renny and she went after the opportunity to pay the Colonel back for nominating her all those weeks ago. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, baby!

Jerry tells us big boys don't cry, while April cries. Ollie is happy he stayed off the block, while no one else shares his sentiment. Memphis and Dan have a chat about getting April out and discuss the likelihood of Renny putting up Ollie if the PoV is won and used (for once). They come to the conclusion that Renny would not put up Ollie, thus putting one of them in danger. How they come to their certainty about this conclusion, I have no idea, and frankly I feel it's better not to speculate about stupidity. Don't you?

Meanwhile, Ollie and April talk about one of them must win the PoV and take her off the block. Ollie also tells her that Jerry is the best person in the world for her to be on the block against, because he's made so many enemies in the house. And she hasn't? She continues crying and he tries to console her until she snaps that the house needs to see her upset. He tells her that she's playing like a kid and she tells him that she doesn't need that sort of attitude from him right now. Ahhhh, L'Amour! It's true love, obviously.

Keesha joins Renny up in the HoH room, where Keesha asks about the nominations. Renny basically admits the putting Jerry up was personal, just because she wanted to. Keesha asks if she made a deal with Ollie and Renny tells her no, that she just likes Ollie.Which is curious, since Ollie primarily just talks to April and I am not sure most of the other HGs even know who he is. And I don't think any of us know who Jerry is, as we get a brief montage of him talking to himself. On a side note: What's with the red and yellow Marines shirt paired with the baby blue trousers and black belt? And why do old men ALL have a pair of baby blue trousers? Are they issued them at the Social Security office along with their subscription to AARP? What gives?

Moving on, the PoV picks work out to Renny, April and Jerry with Dan, Keesha and, much to everyone's chagrin, Ollie. April is convinced Fate is pulling through for them, while Ollie is convinced people are praying for them. Those are sort of diametrically opposed belief systems they have there. Keesha, Dan and Memphis all whine to each other about how Ollie getting chosen was the worst thing that could have happened. The go even further, speculating on more worst care scenarios, with Memphis rounding the bend on crazy when he says that he doesn't understand why Renny would make Ollie feel so special while treating he, Dan and Keesha like crap and putting them on the block. Which...huh?

PoV Competition
Michelle, who is hosting the PoV, comes out with some sort of atrocious red curly wig with white streaks. At least, I hope it is a wig, or spray on hair color, because it looks awful. The competition is the standard BB amount guessing game, with the added complication of players getting to stay or fold their estimation. The one closest to correct wins, the one furthest is eliminated and the first with 3 points wins. Jerry quickly gains two points for himself, but soon enough he is overtaken by Dan, who wins it all.

Dan immediately considers using the PoV to take Jerry down and put Ollie up, guaranteeing the end of the showmance. He meets up with Jerry in the storeroom, and Jerry immediately apologizes for calling him a Judas last week. Someone lacks the courage of his convictions. Jerry characterizes himself as a "Streetfighter", which leads me to visual him throwing fireballs while rasping out "Hadouken!!", but that is probably just me. Dan thanks him for the apology and DRs that if he takes Jerry off the block, he will have no enemies in the house. Um...except Renny, Dan.

The Montage of Levity tonight is all about Renny giving Dan a haircut. She sits him in a chair and flips her clippers on and he immediately asks if they can discuss what she's about to do first. She tells him no, they can't, because she's the hairdresser and he's not. He starts to pray aloud and she tells him "Shut up, or I'm scalping the crap out of you". He then asks her how short she's going to cut it, only to have her reply "As short as I want to". Oh please please please tell me she talks to her actual customers like this!

Note: You know it's a slow night when the BB editors include a montage about people mourning the loss of the big table.

April finds Dan, to talk about where his head is at with the PoV. She tells him that she doesn't feel safe in the house at all and asks him what Jerry offered him for the PoV use. Dan tells her that he didn't offer him anything, which leads her to offer her and Ollie's word that Dan would not go on the block if one of them won HoH next. Oh, and also, I dunno, maybe some cash throw in from the $5,000 BB Gold she has. Dan doesn't jump at the money, but instead takes the opportunity to plant a bomb in her brain by asking f she's wondered about whether or not Ollie and Renny are working together. April denies it is a possibility, but the seed is planted.

PoV Ceremony
Before deciding what to do with the PoV, Dan goes to talk to Renny, to ask if she made a deal with Ollie. She tells him exactly what she told Keesha, she just likes Ollie. Dan then asks her what she would do if Jerry came off. She blankly asks him "If Jerry came off when?", which makes zero sense. Dan clarifies his question, only to have her answer that she would consider Dan a traitor if he used the PoV. So, that's she wrote. Dan doesn't use the PoV, and nothing changes. He does, however, reveal in his speech that one of the nominees offered him cash and his working class background made his decision really difficult. Which was a nice move on his part. Less nice is how April plans to remain in the game, as she says "I'm going to be a complete b*tch!".

Well, that's one tactic, I suppose. Again, I plan not to ponder it too hard because: Stupid!
