Zach’s Take: Big Brother 10 Week 5

Deadwood
Michelle wins HOH this week. Absolutely incredible. The funny thing is her targets this week. April made an agreement to spare Jesse from the block when she and April were competing for HOH the previous week. April went back on her word, proving she cannot be trusted. Michelle, of all people, should have seen that red flag from the get go. Then again, she is the Deadwood this season, so perhaps she has not been playing this game all along, or without a brain. If you have the chance to take out the person on top wouldn’t you do that, versus getting out the henchmen?… who knows. Needless to say, her thoughts on stirring up the house and continuing to get in Keesha’s face will prove to hurt her in this house for sure in weeks to come.

The Diffuser
Once again the Diffuser, or Renny has proven week after week, to just lay low and let things explode. As long as she continues to stay out of the cat fight of “April & Keesha, Michelle & Keesha, Libra & all the women”, she will continue to dodge bullets and go far. I miss her funny antics, but I understand all too well, her game is in recovery mode right now.

Oh Man Dan
Why did Oh Man Dan get America’s Player… That is awful… I mean either he or “The Chinster”, were the best candidates but Dan come on… Total cheeseball, with NO acting skills whatsoever. To recieve 20,000 bucks to do those types of tasks; totally rediculous. He makes Eric’s game from season 8 look impossible, hence the real America’s Player will always be Eric in my book. As for the Jerry vs. Oh Man Dan charade, Dan needs to start really pranking the hell out of that old man, and stop taking his words so seriously. He is hands down, laying low, but the problem is he will always lay low, and perhaps never step up to the plate the entire game.

Kee Kee aka Dainelle 2.0
Keesha, Keesha, Keesha… I can pretty much say she will not be heading home this week, especially up against Libra, whose temper tantrum and cry baby session with The Chinster, to save her own skin will not undo her deceitful ways. But Keesha has to know when to keep the gloves on in a fight and when to take them off; and she doesnt have to take them off ALL the time. She has been taking the gloves off all the time, especially when Mr T said “a little liquid courage”. Keesha’s achilles heel is her booze cruise. She will just lay it all down in a fire fight when alcohol is present. Hopefully she can realize this and correct herself, before her game falls apart. I think she has very valid points with April, Ollie and Michelle in this game, but she needs to learn how to adapt better in this house full of surprises and snakes. Being the calling out type will only get you so far, and knowing when to tuck her gloves in her pockets for another day will help her game immensely. GO Kee Kee…

Mr T
Memphis still to this day, is someone to watch out for. Although he was on the block a week before, he has managed to adapt and blend in so well with others that once again, he is camoflague in this house. We still have yet to see him explode into a head to head player. And despite his outcome in the POV prize, he has shown he knows when to turn it on. But be careful Memphis, we dont want you to be like Icarus… Dont fly to close to the sun or your wings will melt, just like Dustin from my season. Winning a car or a trip to Barbados can prove to be fatal in weeks to come if your not careful. But trying to go for prizes vs acting like your trying in a competition and losing is another. Mr T. I await your performance, because i know your due for an HOH victory, and when that happens finally there are enough people weeded out of the house for you to start doing some damage. You are still my pick for the overall win in this game.

Old Timer
I called it this week… I knew we would start to see a spark from Jerry this week. The Old Timer decided to take his frustration out on Dan… If he was smart about things the previous week, he would have been a little more demanding to not have Jesse go up on the block. Once again, he is an Old Timer, and most older people are set in their ways or better known as traditionalists. He will not let Oh Man Dan out of America’s decision to send Buzz LIghtyear packing. But I’m optimistic about Jerry. I think his stripes will change when Dan either wins HOH (never happen) or POV (possibly happening). He loves this experience and is not ready to pack his things. However, He has shown his stripes in that he is highly opinionated, and a band wagon jumper when it comes to people winning HOH. A typical strategy, that has many holes in the bucket. I am still rooting for the Old Timer, but i think his time is continuing to be limited based on who wins HOH and his poor judgement with grudges.

“Chinzey” or The Chinzter
I still am NOT a fan of Ollie, but i have to commend him on his gameplay. He without a doubt was similar to me in that in the middle of the season he did not receive a lot of air time, which proved for me to be a silent assassin move. As for Chinzey, he continues to USE April for the heat matches, and consoles her to keep him away from target practice. He continues to choke on competitions and pov’s. And honestly we as viewers dont know much about him. This is why Ollie is dangerous, and has a strong chance at winning this game, as long as April stays in the game. As soon as those two are broken apart, one of two things will happen. One his game will go to crap as he has not broadened his relationships with other houseguests after 40 days. Similar to Eric from Season 8’s game which cost him his gameplay. Or two, he will start winning competitions like James from Season 9, and start causing problems and eventually get ejected, due to betrayal and ultimately no friendships in the house. Ollie is one to watch out for… Stay tuned.

April or Mrs Slither
I retract my nickname Jen 2.0… I have truly seen April’s true side this week, and she is nothing like Jen. She has a closer side to Dick of Season 8. April knows how to point the finger and get it to stick in people’s heads. A true manipulator… Very good for this game, hands down and a good adversary. She has characteristics like Dick from 8, and we have yet to see her crumble. Mrs. Slither needs a good kick in the butt from an HOH’er this week and needs to marinate on the block all week next week to show that she is vulnerable. I figure Mr T, Oh Man Dan, and Kee Kee would hands down put her up next week if given the chance. I must add that April has truly shown her colors vividly and the only person able to see them is Keesha. April knows that Keesha will be her biggest issue, but I have a feeling that next week things will get even uglier for those two. Once again, i am not a fan of Mrs. Slither, but her gameplay is incredibly good, and I enjoy watching her make her moves.

The Scales
It is about time to see Libra break down in this game. Having no idea if it was a show for The Chinster “Ollie”. She has proven that she wants to fight and stay in the house but she has shown all her cards, and not even Kyle Ivey from the World Poker Tour can win this hand. Even worse, she will be stuck in sequester all week alone, if she goes home this week. Whats better would be a sucker punch to see April go home the next week so those two can enjoy each other for a week alone. I doubt it will happen, but here’s hoping, as i rub my lucky Rabbit’s Foot in delight. I cannot see how they can’t get rid of Libra this week. She has little to no friends left in this house, has already turned on her closest ally Keesha, and if given a chance in the house to win HOH, would be lethal to so many people. I am convinced her days are limited. In addition, Libra is a person to go down in flames, so i have a feeling we have not seen the full inferno yet. I think she won’t leave without a fight… She will tell everyone in that house exactly what she wants them to hear, and there is no getting around it. Wait for it, as its coming… The scales are officially in balance but i think we already know thats not true… Bye Bye.

Conclusion…
A couple of fire fights are brewing and are coming to a head very soon. Libra vs The House is one, Keesha vs April another. I think there is a chance at Jerry exploding soon on more than one person. This house is not too exciting this year, but there is some fire in many of these people, as well as the characters are well developed. Kudos to the casting department this time around. I think this house is going to have major issues if Keesha, Memphis or Dan win HOH on Thursday. Its obvious that Michelle cant make her own decisions in this house. Its obvious that April is manipulating people and they believe her. Its obvious Keesha needs to pick her battles without a wine glass. Its obvious Dan is a Goofball and needs to step it up if thats possible. Ollie is playing dead. And finally, Renny is just letting the fire fight itself. I think HOH this week is crucial to the survival or upset in this game, and i have a feeling that another twist is around the corner. Till next week. thanks again.
