'Big Brother 10' Who is a scumbag?

This week, Big Brother 10 proved that while getting a rude awakening from a couple HGs in bandannas and silly hats can break the tension, it cannot cure pure crazy. Pure crazy will always win in the end.

But first, we review! Jerry lost respect for Dan, who took off his cross and went back on his word. America lost respect for Jerry as he repeatedly slurred Dan's religious beliefs and told him to burn in hell. Everyone else screamed at each about how they are all horrible people. I sat back and got to agree with them all. Michelle won HoH and Jerry advised she put up Dan, April advised she put up Libra, and Renny advised she put up April. But in the end, Michelle put up Keesha and Libra, because they took out Jessie.

Dan goes to comfort Keesha, who is crying while claiming to be pissed off. He tells her not to let Michelle see her cry as Libra comes into the room. Keesha points out that what really angers her is that April's key was pulled first and Libra agrees. In fact, Libra goes even further, to say she is not going to campaign against Keesha and that if that means she leaves, she just hopes they all get rid of April soon thereafter. Which means that she will be campaigning before the end of the hour. Meanwhile, Keesha goes up to the HoH room to talk to Michelle, who assures her that Libra is her target. Keesha asserts in the DR that she has dodged a bullet, because she is the one who orchestrated Jessie's eviction. The level of delusion we can see on reality television never ceases to astound!

The PoV picks leave us with Michelle, Keesha and Libra battling with Memphis, April and Jerry. Dan worries that Jerry is going to try and get him evicted, which is a safe bet with all the screaming and cross flinging Jerry's been doing. Jerry talks with April and Ollie and tells them that he thinks Dan is the biggest threat in the house, before he goes up to the HoH to talk to Michelle. He tells her that he suspects Dan is America's Player, adding that if he is, he's a scum bag. America, did Jerry just call you a scum bag?

The PoV Competition has the HGs bashing, chopping, and dicing onions, to fill a little jar around their neck (under their noses) and carrying it across the yard to 2 boxes: one for PoV and one Mystery Box. Whomever has the heaviest PoV box, gets it and the 2 HGs with the heaviest Mystery Boxes win prizes as well. Memphis concentrates nearly all of his energy on the Mystery Box and April halves hers between the boxes. The other players all vie for the PoV. When the boxes are weighed, Memphis and April win Mystery Boxes, and taking the house by surprise, Jerry wins the PoV.

Keesha and Libra both cry over not winning the PoV, while Jerry reminds us all that he's really really old. As for the Mystery Boxes, Memphis gets first pick and wins himself a dazzling onion necklace to wear for the next 24 hours. April, on the other hand, gets a personal stylist to put together 5 designer outfits for her to wear in the house and then take home. April tells us that it couldn't have happened to a better person, while Keesha resists the urge to punch her.

That night they get the feast that Michelle won for them. It seems to consist of wine, salad, steak and lobster. Frankly, none of it looks especially feast like to me, but I suppose after slop, Cap'n Crunch constitutes a feast. Keesha comes up with the brilliant idea of everyone saying something nice about someone else and by brilliant I mean idiotic. Memphis wins my temporary affections by shouting "Keesha is crazy!" and I whole heartedly agree.

But the rest of the HGs decide to give it a go and not wanting be the bad guy, Memphis tries to give a general toast by utterly butchering a string of cliches. Because nothing screams heartfelt sentiment by poorly reciting something you once read in Mixologist Monthly. He ends by telling people to shoot for the stars...or the sun...because you end up in the stars anyway. Yeah, tell that to Icarus. Renny gives accolades to Jerry for giving 110% and Dan tries to jump on her band wagon by telling Jerry that despite the last 48 hours, he genuinely meant everything he said to Jerry prior. Jerry hits the first sour note by telling Dan he treated him like a grandson and will therefore never forget how Dan betrayed him.

Keesha parrots Dan, by trying to tell April that she hates that they have had so many issues too, and Renny to crack that it was because they were both blond. Everyone laughs and Keesha says that she really wants to wear a designer dress, leading Libra to crack that the designer clothes are the only reason Keesha is being nice to April now. Everyone laughs more. Remember this - it will be important later. Ollie invites anyone who needs to speak with him to just ask, and Libra immediately takes him up on the offer. As in, right at that very moment. They go to the storage room and she starts sobbing about how hurt she was that he called her a "scallywag" the other night. Imagine if he had called her 'carpetbagger'! She somehow goes right from how hurt she was into how he should aim for Keesha. Let the campaigns begin!

Michelle calls Keesha up to the HoH room and tells her that at the dinner table, Libra said she was only being nice to April to get some designer clothes. You know, just like Keesha joked herself. However, now Keesha acts appalled. Michelle calls April in to back up her story, which she does, and then goes to get Libra herself. You see, Michelle wants to destroy the relationship between Keesha and Libra, because she thinks it will make them understand what they put Jessie through. Except that Jessie and Memphis weren't batsh*t insane.

Libra comes in and, predictably, all hell breaks loose. Libra asserts her words were a joke, which Keesha refuses to believe, so they all scream at each instead. Meanwhile, all the other HGs sit in the kitchen quietly eating the ice cream sundaes. Upstairs, they jump form designer dresses to Jessie's eviction, where Keesha suddenly accuses April of masterminding the entire thing by whispering "sweet nothings" in her ear. Which....what? April asks her what sweet nothings those were, and Keesha gets her crazy eyes on and just repeats that she whispered "whisperings" and then storms out of the room. Michelle follows her, both of the yelling at each other the whole way. Where do they find people who behave like this? Seriously?

Keesha asserts that April is driving her insane. I assert that it was a short trip, but Keesha isn't done yet. Without being able to name anything specific, she just rants and rails about how much she hates April and how fake she is. The comment that takes the cake, however, is when she cries that she's tired of mediating between crazy and crazier. The phrase "blind leading the blind" doesn't even begin to come close to covering it!

After all that nonsense, the PoV Ceremony could hardly hold a candle. Or so one would think. Both Libra and Keesha give speeches about how they don't expect Jerry to use the PoV on them because of their part in Jessie's eviction, which they take responsibility for. Meanwhile, everyone expects Jerry to use the PoV, especially as he launches into his own speech. He reminds Dan that in week two he claimed he would give up his religion before breaking his word, and therefore he will always be a Judas in his house. Yet, despite all that, Jerry opts not to use the PoV.

So, another week, another useless ceremony. Yet, I still hold out hope for a double elimination!
