Reality Roll Call

Finally, the 100% natural body builder was evicted from the Big Brother house,and it was all thanks to America’s vote. I think this might have been the first time that America was the swing vote. I’m not sure if we were the swing vote on Dustin’s(BB8) eviction. As nice as it was to have an affect on the game again, I think its time to stop with this America’s player stuff. It’s the type of twist that’s only good once. The house was jokingly calling Dan America’s Player before he was officially America’s Player, so its time to officially put that to rest along with the red leotards.

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.

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.

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.

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

As HOH of BB 10 week 2, I am coming off of my from under the shadows feat. Going from a nominee to winning POV to now having luxury gift basket of protein bars and pre-made protein drinks. Having my own huge bed and a little bit of privacy, as well as heart warming pictures from home. When you see them outside the house you take them for what they are just a picture and only use up a few moments of your time being certain that you look good in the picture to clarify it as being a decent picture. Although now when that same exact picture is placed inside the house and into my room it holds a whole new meaning. The picture takes you back to that time, who took this exact picture, the emotions and occurrences that led to this picture being taken. Makes it worth so much more, think about the important people in your life so much more, smile a little brighter and think a little harder.

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.

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.

This early in the Big Brother game it’s really hard to tell where everyone officially stands. Sure, everybody has the few people they hang out with, but once they get power they’ll flip on them without a second thought. However, this week was not one of those times. Jessie decided to stay true to his “friends”(I’m refraining from using the “a” word right now) and nominated Steven and Dan. Dan was an obvious choice, seeing as how he was Brian’s closest ally. Steven wasn’t much of a surprise either since he oddly aligned with Brian AFTER he got nominated.

Since the nominations Dan has been a lot more social than he was last week. He’s campaigning without actually campaigning, and that could be what keeps him in the house for another week. Steven, on the the other hand, had a slight period where he clammed up, and didn’t want to be bothered with anyone for about half a day.

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.
