Zach’s Take On Big Brother 10 Week 3

After watching my friend Keesha’s HOH week, I have continued to see improvements in her gameplay. Her HOH nominations were a bold move on her part, but I agree with them hands down. She actually nominated the adversaries that aided in the destruction of Steven; a move not even Danielle from season 8 could do to save Nick from the chopping block. So, kudos to you Keesha, a very bold move. In addition, even after mass coercion she stuck to her guns, and did not use the POV– very nice. She may find out the hard way that Libra will back stab her in the end, but at least she has her as a friend for a few weeks to come.

The Meathead (Jesse)
Once again, arrogance got the best of this breakdown Buzz. Mr Lightyear panicked like a stray dog, and decided to show his cards early. This may, in fact, bite him in the ass soon. All I can say for Buzz, is I’d be willing to bet his time is limited. Buzz off Buzz.

The Diffuser
The unscathed Renny. Lay low Renny, and you will continue to ride the wave of never being nominated. Renny received her first taste of nominations in the first week, and will probably not taste it again for a while. She has made some monumental changes in her personality to seriously bite her tongue on many issues, which is now allowing her to float under the radar, despite her physical limitation in competitions. Once again, the Diffuser will remain in this game and continue to make me laugh. Go, Renny.

Oh Man Dan
Mr. Dan, once again you are proving to be what I was in BB8 around the same time. Let others cause the problems, and bite your tongue. If Dan continues to be the nice guy to everyone, he will make it very far. Once again, Let Jerry and Memphis duke it out, let Jesse destroy himself, let Libra smack everyone, and let Oh Man Dan slide by.

Kee Kee aka Dainelle 2.0
Keesha had a volatile HOH but proved to everyone she can’t be pushed. The true progress of a leader. Although she has some Danielleisms, she still has a very strong willed mind of the game and takes risks. If this game wasn’t about risks, you would get nowhere. I feel she truly opened up the wounds of who is on who’s side. The game is starting to get interesting now that tempers are flaring, and people are showing that they aren’t as nice as they say they are. Hopefully, like i said before, Libra won’t be her downfall, but only time will tell.

Mr T
Memphis is still one of my favorites. He calls it like he sees it, and doesn’t let anyone forget we’re playing a game here. He called out Jerry in the HOH room, and did not back down. There are definite strategies for that if he takes that into context. Who knows, maybe they will bury the hatchet in a week with a few beers and ally; wouldn’t that be a sight? I still think, when rattled, this hot headed guy will prove to be a valuable competitor in the long run. I feel he won’t have to stress too much over the next week unless miraculously, the Old Timer wins HOH.

Old Timer
Jerry, I’m still a fan… You’re so mid-west and we all see it. I love that your so laid back about confrontation. Not a worry in your eyes, and we can all see it. I hope to see some spark from you soon.

“Chinzey” or The Chinzter
If you aren’t aware of what “chinzey” means, it’s a combination between cheesy and being a shyster. Ollie hands down is “The Chinzter”. He has proved time and time again that he is the slippery and slimy guy only there to get his hands dirty when survival is at stake. His inability to preserve others is evident, and being so consumed with his own agenda will nip him in the end. The Chinzter is definitely someone to watch out for, as if his agenda is affected, be sure his demeanor will slip to whomever is HOH, and he’ll barter his way into not going up on the block.

Deadwood
Michelle is my official “deadwood” of Big Brother 10. Deadwood is a person that leeches around aimlessly, accomplishing next to nothing. A day goes by, then a week, and then you realize the accomplishments of everyone else, and did you apply yourself…. NO! Hence, “Deadwood”. This girl has done nothing in the game. Michelle who??? Quite possibly the best floater in the game.

April or Jen 2.0
I have had so many people come to me and tell me April’s gameplay is similar to Jen’s of season 8. It took me many episodes of review, but now I can see similarities for sure. But the one thing that makes Jen far better than April is her strong competitions. April has yet to prove she has what it takes to compete for the real prize at the end. I am still awaiting the blond cat fight between her and Kee Kee. If there is a close runner up for the deadwood position it could be her. The only thing that keeps her from being The Deadwood is that she coerced Ollie into a relationship frenzy, which is both sly and treacherous.

The Scales
Libra has a fire, and a very deceitful demeanor. Hands down, she has opened her mouth too many times. Hopefully that won’t backfire in the end. Believe it or not, The Meathead was right… LIbra is/was indeed going for Kee Kee’s head and still is. The fact that Kee Kee honored her agreement and has shown she is true to her word, proves that Libra owes her. That will buy Kee Kee a week or more, but Libra will eventually come for her. Libra is far from balanced… LOL… She is a ticking time bomb and will not learn from her mistakes. She has lit the fire beneath so many other players in the game that she is well aware she could in fact be the next target. She will cling to those that kept her afloat like Kee Kee, and perhaps April. Other than that, her fire will ignite the house, and we will see an inferno of craziness very soon. She is bound to crack soon. Watch for it.

Conclusion…
The lines have been drawn in this house, with a few people that aren’t stable on either side. Oh Man Dan, Deadwood, perhaps Buzz Lightyear, even Mr T, will need to refortify their relationships with the people they feel closest to. In addition, the more aggressive players will need these weaker players to make temporary alliances to get some of the more open players out of the game. If these weaker players are smart, they will ride the coattails of the others for one more week to keep surviving the house and wait to strike another day.

This week’s HOH and POV are crucial to many who have opened their mouths, expressed their opinions and are due to get “knicked”. I have a feeling that depending on the HOH, this week could be full or fire, and who knows perhaps we will see our inferno.

Big Brother 10: Week 3 Eviction + HoH Spoiler

Tonight Angie Swindell, the pharmaceutical sales representative from Orlando was the third house guest evicted from the Big Brother house. Angie played the game by sitting around quietly, observing the other house guests. She never really got too involved, and I think that might have been what did her in. The only good thing about her being evicted over Jessie is that there is one more week of drama between the two sides of the house.

At about 8:53pm est the first endurance HoH competition of the season got underway. The house guests were required to stand on on a ledge with their backs to the wall. Normally that wouldn’t be that tough. but this wall is tilted forward 45 degree, and shakes. In addition to that there were mechanical pigeons that blew garbage on them every 30 minutes or so. The competition lasted about two hours and 45 minutes, coming down to April and Michelle in the end. Michelle cut a deal with April to ensure her safety about two hours into the competition but couldn’t bring herself to let go. Eventually her body gave out on her, leaving her to fall to the ground in defeat. April said she already knew who she wanted to nominate, but she couldn’t say it while she was up there because those people were looking right at her. I’m not sure if it was a ploy to make Michelle think that she was going to turn on her alliance but it was a pretty interesting statement.

Now, with a newly HoH crowned I’m really interested to see what the newly appointed “America’s Player” Dan will do. April has a chance to turn this game on its head right now with the right nominations. She, Ollie, Jessie and Michelle could be a pretty strong group if she decides to turn on her currently alliance. Check back often for updates on Dan’s actions and the nominations.

Big Brother 10:Week 3 Nomination Spoilers

As you all know, Keesha is the Head of Household this week, and she must nominate two people for eviction. Last night Keesha quickly made the decision that she was nominating Angie for eviction. That decision was pretty much based on her first impression of her when she entered the house. She thought to herself “That girl will win this game.” and that’s  why she needs to go. I’ve heard of a gut feeling, but to have a feeling that predicts something that’s going to  happen 3 months in the future is just a little unbelievable. I’m thinking that her initial impression of her was actually just that of a girl not liking another girl for, whatever reason girls don’t like each other. But, regardless of the reason, her first choice for nomination was made easily.

Keesha’s second nomination wasn’t that clear cut of a choice. Last night she was flipping back and forth between Memphis, Dan, Jessie and Michelle. Michelle was a long shot, because she’s the only one out of those four who is “cool” with the alliance in power. Memphis was also a long shot because Keesha really likes him, no; she REALLY likes him. I’m not really sure what “really” liking him means but she kept on repeating so it must have held some weight in her decision making process. Also Memphis made a deal with Keesha, promising not to use the veto to save Angie if she didn’t nominate him. So, now all we have left is Dan and Jessie. Dan has been on the block two times this season, so putting him up wouldn’t really shake anything up. While that might’ve been good for Keesha it wouldn’t have been the right thing to do to Dan. He wouldn’t in anyway deserve that nomination, but Jessie on the other hand is a totally different story. Jessie is allegedly the youngest person in the house, but he is certainly the most conceited person . Now while conceit is an annoying trait, it wouldn’t be grounds of a nomination. The fact that he is the one who nominated Steven, Keesha’s best friend in the house is definitely grounds for a nomination. Apparently, Keesha had the same thinking, because she decided to put Jessie up against Angie this week.

The line in the sand has been drawn this week, and emotions are running high. I can’t wait to see who wins veto, and what they do with it once they have it. This season is really starting to heat up.

Big Brother 10: Week 3 Eviction

Tonight, Steven was the second person evicted from the Big Brother house this season. He was one of the most genuine people in the house, and he left way too early. But on the bright side, in typical Big Brother fashion, Steven’s best friend in the house, Keesha won HOH.

I’m really happy she won; that stupid look of confidence on Libra’s face was annoying the hell out of me through the whole HoH competition. Come to think of it, Libra annoyed me from the moment she referred to some of the house guests as “floaters” earlier in the episode. It’s only week 3; nobody can be called a floater this early in the game, and that very comment is why I want  her to be nominated this week.

New HoH  Keesha can either go for revenge, or for the people that annoy her this week. If I was her I’d nominate Jessie and Memphis. They are the two strongest guys in the house, and it couldn’t hurt to get rid of one of them. She could also take another route and nominate Libra, who seems to be getting on her nerves with the constant complaining about being on slop. Then, she should toss April up there against her, because we all know if April wins HoH, Keesha will be the first person that she goes for.

All we can do for the next few days is speculate, but I will be back to let you guys know who’s nominated. Be sure to check back tomorrow for “Zach’s Take” on the events of this week.

Zach’s Take on Big Brother 10 Week 2

I wanted to wait until Sunday, July 20^th aired before I wrote my first Take.  And after seriously watching each person, and their movements and actions, I have come to many conclusions about this summer’s Big Brother houseguests:

The Meathead
First off, here’s my thoughts on this week’s HOH, Jesse. “Unbelievable” in one word… This guy looks like Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. Casting did an incredible job finding this vain character. Although he puts out great TV, he has truly proven that he does not have the strength to make his own decisions, and must maintain in a collective way of thinking. OMG… people unable to think in this game, surprise, surprise! And that arrogant comment at the end of the show about not being able to get his full bicep in the camera: CLASSIC.

The Diffuser
Renny, rock on! I didn’t really enjoy her gameplay and still have yet to see anything, but I do enjoy her humor, clothing choices and obscure ways of thinking. I hope to continue to laugh more… She makes me smile.

Oh Man Dan
Dan, Dan, Dan… Dan you are true to your words, and can be used to go far in this game, though I just don’t know… I think you’re out of your league but we will see. Good luck Oh Man Dan…

My Favorites

Kee Kee
Keesha is still one of my favorites. She has proven to have a strategic mind, and is slowly creating accurate assessments of the players in the game. Although she will remain on slop for week #2, I feel this won’t hinder her game. I think there are others that will suffer from this.  Her honesty in the diary room helps convey how she perceives other people’s behaviors to be.  I see her deception and treachery to be two assets in her gameplay, and they seem to be developing very well, yet her perceptions might get the best of her.

Rodeo Clown
You can already see the alliance of Steven and Keesha forming. Though Steven has his work cut out this week, if he goes it will weaken Keesha’s game.  I think he really needs to step it up this week. I dig this guy, and think casting did a formidable job finding him. Although his character has not been developed, and why he didn’t go to Jesse’s HOH I will never know… Was that bold or bonehead? If he survives this week his game will step up a notch, I think.

Mr T
Mr Tennessee, or Memphis (LOL), is one of my favorites. I think his stories about his past are very compelling and provide deep insight to his thinking.  He seems to hold his poker face well, and if he is upset about certain issues in the game, we may never know. Casting did well finding this emotionless poker player. I think there is a fierce competitor in him yet to be seen, and feel Memphis will go far, if not possibly win this game. Watch out for him. I think when he gets going in this game people won’t even see it coming. He is hands down one of the A Team in the flesh, tough on the outside as well as tough on the inside.

Old Timer
Jerry is a great stand up guy. I’m still a fan of his, and think he is true blue.  I hope he goes far… His age is both his plus, and his minus. I feel Jerry will go far in this game, though he will falter on many of the competitions. We are finally getting to see his true colors.  He seems to make decisions based on the group and wants to maintain a secret silent alliance with two others. I can totally forsee a secret alliance formed; though I won’t divulge my thoughts at this time. I think an ex-military guy has a true nature of game play and execution. He will go far, but overall, will not win. If he makes it to the final two, the jury will hand him the crown, but that is his true fight.

Conclusion…

There are many battles have yet to happen. This whole “showmance” charade with Ollie and April will not last. But it will keep those two working together when all else fails. And, I’m still waiting for the Blonde Battle cat fight that WILL happen. And, if and when Jerry or Libra explodes, it will make the season.

There are a few silent types that prove to have good game sense, yet are undeveloped. And a few that show that they have no sense playing. Some are power trippers, and some have made mistakes they can’t bounce back from. As a result, the POV competitions are going to be crucial.

Until next week, thanks for reading…. Hope everyone is watching…

Bye Bye Brian: Big Brother Week 1 Eviction

Tonight Brian was the first evicted house guest of the season and I have to say I’m pretty disappointed. I know I said he’d become a problem if left in the house too long, but him leaving this early really sucks. One could argue that the best player this season is already out of the house. Then again, if he was the “best” player he wouldn’t have played himself into a corner that ultimately led to his eviction. But all’s well that ends well, because in about 4 weeks we’ll forget he was even there, as we so often do with the first evicted house guest.

I’d like to say congratulations to Jessie for being the first person to “win” HoH this season (it was given to Jerry). Ever since I decided that he was a loser he’s been proving me wrong, winning every competition that he’s been allowed to compete in. For his own sake,  he should lose the veto competition because if he wins he’ll automatically be viewed as the “big threat” and he’ll be a target next week.

I’m sure Renny isn’t thinking that far ahead, since she’s pretty much a shoe-in for the first nominee this week. The question is; who will she be sitting next to on the block? The smart choice would be either Dan or Angie,  just because they were close to Brian and in  nominating one of them, he’d stay in the rest of the houses good graces. Once Jessie makes his decision, I’ll let you guys know, so be sure to check back often.
