Jerry’s Big Brother 10 HoH Blog and Pictures

Each week on Big Brother 10 the Head of Household blogs about their experience in the BB house to date. Jerry just stepped down as HoH. This is his blog:

I am so fortunate to have been blessed with a wonderful family. Being the patriarch of such beautiful people adds meaning to the value of life. These four individuals that are remaining are my last obstacle to my winning big brother ten. I have learned to respect them all, yet I want to win the game. I thank God for my health and hope that Joanne and I have many good years in front of us. I will always be her knight in shining armor.

Please bless the troops around the world and the veterans that have given their lives and limbs because of their love of country we live free.

The abandoned animal shelter in Tomball,TX has been in existence for about five years and has adopted out about 3500 cats and dogs. It is a no kill shelter and such a pleasure to experience. If anyone wishes to support this shelter please do so and say Jerry sent you.

God bless each and every person.

Dan’s Big Brother 10 HoH Blog and Pictures

Each week on Big Brother 10 the Head of Household blogs about their experience in the BB house to date. Dan just stepped down as HoH. This is his blog:

First off, I have to thank AMERICA for voting me America’s Player!!! Finding out that I was voted America’s Player was a huge surprise for me personally. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart and I am very humbled by those who voted. I did my best to give you (America) exactly what you asked for, especially with the masculine yet awkward 18 second hug.

In this house I try not to take ANYTHING too seriously because this is a once in a lifetime experience. Everyday I am in this house I try to stay as positive as I can because even when the chips are down a positive attitude can pull you through a lot of tough situations.

Regarding the actual game of Big Brother, it has been a lot tougher then even I imagined. I came in this house trying to play as hard as I can right from the start and I found someone with a similar mindset in Brian. When Brian was evicted it changed the entire game for me and I realized I had to shift gears to play the “weak player” strategy. I’ve had to throw A LOT of competitions to get to where I am now and being a competitive person it was a very difficult thing for me to do. I’m not a huge fan of losing so to intentionally lose is a lot harder then it may seem. But make no mistake about it, with every competition I have thrown (I like to call it the Art of the Throw) I have had SO MUCH fun doing so. Anytime I would throw a competition I would try to “one-up” or do a more convincing job of each throw, and whether I fooled anyone or not, I hope you all got a kick out of it!

This brings me to my current state of the game as HOH. Clearly I have abandoned the Art of the Throw and am now playing the game as hard as I can. This week by gambling with my hidden alliance member (the Renegades) Memphis’ life in the game, I took a huge risk. Lucky for me it has paid off so far, but I have had to do some shady things in the process. I did break a major deal with Ollie by nominating Michelle (someone who I actually like, but is a tough competitor) and it was not an easy decision. In this game you have to make tough decisions because you are fighting for your life every week. Whether or not the decision is right or wrong I am sure I will find out, but at the end of the day I felt it was the best move for me and my alliance in Keesha, Renny, and Memphis. It is nearly impossible to win this game by yourself, so I hope that trusting my alliance does not come back to haunt me!

In this house I try to have as much fun as possible, which includes messing with Renny, making fun of Renny, Swim Club (which has been canceled due to lack of enrollment), poking at Renny, eating Renny’s dinners, trying to feed birds in the backyard, making Renny cut my hair, doing cannonballs in the pool, and of course acting like a “mature” 24 year old teacher. Big Brother has given me the opportunity to do things I never thought possible, which includes acting like a kid again, and I am taking that and RUNNING with it. You can’t take life in this house too seriously because you will never get out alive!

Some people may wonder why I have not gotten angry at Jerry for the “Judas” comment or any of the other personal shots people have taken at me. The reason that you do not see me respond or fight with them is because I know that people say things in the heat of the battle that they may or may not mean. I do not take any of the things people say in this house personally or seriously.

Real quick I would like to play a game, its called Big Brother Word Association (don’t worry, no more Replacement Nominee Roulette, that didn’t go over so well did it?). It may give you some insight as to how I actually feel about people in this house.

Renny – Caring/Crazy
Memphis – Strong/Loyal Friend
Keesha – Midwest Girl/Great Heart
Michelle – Defensive/Strong Willed
Jerry – Giving His Best Effort
Ollie – Confused without April / Funny
Brian – Hilarious/Loyal
Stephen – Wild/Smart
Angie – Fun/Guarded
April – Driven
Libra – Opinionated
Jesse – The Hulk

On a personal note, here are a few loves of mine if you are interested (if not skip this paragraph). Monica, coaching high school football, teaching young minds, spending time with my family, running, following Michigan State University sports, and hanging out with my friends.
Pretty wild, huh?

I may take some flak for things I have done in this game because I am a Catholic School Teacher, but I would just like to say that I take my job and responsibility as a teacher VERY seriously. It is my passion in life and I hope that the students that I have taught and players that I have coached have not lost any respect for me or look at me in a negative light, because no amount of money in the world is worth that happening. If I could deliver a message to the Men of St. Mary’s it would be: Keep the faith in God even in the most crazy situations, trust Him for guidance, and play as hard as you can within the confines of the rules of the game!

Last but certainly not least I have to thank my family, friends, fans, the city of DEARBORN Michigan, students and faculty of Orchard Lake St. Mary’s Prep (who I hope are still keeping my teaching job for me), the St. Mary’s Eaglet Football Team (BEAT EGR on Thursday and get the Red Rowdies going!), and of course my beautiful girlfriend (whom I love VERY much) Monica for their support. Seeing the photos and reading the letter from home has re-energized me in this game. At this point I am playing this game for my family and everyone back home in Dearborn! I hope I have made you all proud even with some of the shady moves that I have made (and trust me I KNOW they were shady, but I am trying to WIN). My thoughts and prayers are with everyone back home in Dearborn and of course with the Orchard Lake St. Mary’s FOOTBALL Team, get a win and start the season out 1-0. I miss you all, TAU Monica.

And always remember, OLSM #1 In Michigan!

P.S. I really am going to go to Confession as soon as I get out of this crazy house, so get ready for a marathon session.

April’s Big Brother 10 Blog and Pictures

Each week on Big Brother 10 the Head of Household blogs about their experience in the BB house to date. April just stepped down as HoH. This is  her blog:

Well people I can honestly say that this is a crazy world in which we live in. A few months ago I would have never imagined myself living in a house with 13 roommates and our lives being shared with all of America. Going into this game I tried to have no expectations and to come into this house with an open mind and to live each day in the moment and have fun and meet some great people along the way. Maybe even learn a lesson or two about myself. Well a lesson or two has turned into many more and the moments I have experienced have exceeded all my expectations. As a house we have had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows but at the end of the day I have to take what I have experienced and learn and grow from it. This is a game and this is something that I have to constantly remind myself of. I am unable to speak for the rest of the house guests but I am aware of my actions and mistakes I have made while living in the BB10 house and some I may regret and some I may not. But when I do leave this house I am fortunate to have family and friends that love me and support me and that I the best thing that I could ever leave this house knowing.
Thank you to all the fans of BB10 I love you!!!!!!!!

Big Brother 9 Week 3 HoH

 

As I am I’m sure many of you predicted Amanda and Alex went home. There’s not much guess work to be done as far as evictions go this season because there aren’t many votes to go around. This is the second actual eviction and all a nominee needed was 2 votes to stay instead of the 7 needed in past seasons, but I guess that what happens when you have couples.

Josh and Sharon won HoH in dominating fashion not giving anyone a chance to answer a question. Ok, they did give Ryan a chance to answer a question but he looked dazed and confused and ultimately got the answer wrong eliminating himself. Josh is the player I least wanted to see win HoH because he had a habit of talking like he was better than people before he won HoH and now you know that this power will go straight to his head. Hopefully Sharon can keep him grounded enough that he doesn’t anger the rest of the house during their week in power.
