Big Brother 10: Week 6 Veto Spoilers

With Renny’s nominations of Jerry, and April, there’s nobody in the house other than them or Ollie that would change the nominations if they won veto. I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to see that that’s pretty bad odds for the nominees, at least a first glance anyway. If we run down the list of remaining house guests it looks like the nominees would have a pretty good chance of winning the veto…

Renny: She’s smart, but if it’s something extremely physical that requires speed, she’ll be a long shot to win it. All she’s won this season was the HoH competition.

Keesha: She’s a really good competitor,  but she can’t seem to get over that hump that makes her a dominant force in competitions. If memory serves me right she only won HoH once.

Memphis: He’s a ticking time bomb in my opinion. He hasn’t won anything other than luxury items so far. But, when a luxury item is up for grabs he makes sure that he wins it. If he could apply that to the IMPORTANT competitions he could be a problem. There are some key questions we have to ask about him this week. Will he compete for veto? Will there be prizes that would distract him from the veto? Does he even care to win it? Who knows…

Dan: He likes to typically “throw” competitions in an attempt to make himself look less like a threat. I wonder if he is going to end up like Dr. Will and throw competitions so much that when he actually tries  to win, he can’t.

Michelle: She has the ability to win this week, and definitely the motivation. There is a good chance that if one of the nominees were to come off the block, she’d be the replacement nominee. She’s one of those players that gets a break every once in a while, but more times than not she falls just short of victory.

Ollie: Let’s be real; he sucks. He is a nice enough guy, but when it comes to competitions he has proven to be totally useless. Maybe with his girl friend?…err showmance?…um bang buddy..ehh April in trouble he’ll turn into a new house guest that wins competitions.

April: She’s got enough confidence in herself to drive her to victory, but in her eyes she also has the “choke” factor. If she comes out with the win I wouldn’t be too shocked.

Jerry: Winner of the last two Veto competitions, Jerry is obviously the Big Brown of the competition, but I think just like Big Brown he’s due to have an upset.

After the smoke from the veto competition settled there was one man left standing, Dan! Seeing as we couldn’t see the competition I’m not sure how he came to win the veto. He might’ve won it outright, but with his history of “throwing” competitions, I think he fell backwards into it. It’s gonna be fun seeing if Jerry tries to talk Dan into using the veto him tonight, even though I don’t think his pride would let him. Also there isn’t any need for him to suck up to Dan since April is the house’s target.

Big Brother Will Return This Summer

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the usual summer edition of the reality show Big Brother will begin soon after the strike edition wraps up.

When CBS decided to air a winter version of the voyeuristic game show to fill the scheduling void caused by the writer’s strike, many wondered what would become of the perennial summer version. Then, when the winter version turned out to be a weird, sleazy version where even television editing could not give this group likable personalities or give viewers the impression that they were even truly capable of playing the game in an entertaining, intelligent fashion, a summer version was more doubtful. (Yeah, I know that was a long sentence, but this group is horrible.)

Ratings numbers have also been low compared to previous season’s of Big Brother, but it is also speculated the reason is because some episodes have gone up against the always popular American Idol. Or, it could be that people don’t want to see unattractive people with unattractive personalities treat themselves and each other with extreme disrespect in verbal and physical ways. Believe it or not, there is a limit to what viewers is entertaining, and what is just out and out lowbrow.

Hopefully, the summer version of Big Brother will return to its former model of fun summer entertainment, where the contestants are not exploiting each other sexually, and saying racially, socially and morally offensive things on the air in prime time, and actual realize that the reason they are there is to play a game for a lot of money.

I’m looking forward to seeing an old friend this summer, how about you?
