Reality Roll Call

When you come in second place on Big Brother, you win $50,000. No, it’s not half a million dollars, but it’s nothing to sneeze at, right? So, you would think that Memphis Garrett, runner up in Big Brother 10, would hang on to a memento or two. Maybe he is, but this week he is eBaying his red Renegades bandanna.

The auction says, “Big Brother 10 Memphis Original Signed Renegade Bandanna Memphis wore this bandanna the entire show.” So it smells all Memphis-y, and stuff. Just kidding; I’m sure it was laundered, something I am not sure about when it comes to Dan Gheesling’s now fossilized lucky black and white shorts.

Check out Memphis’ auctions here.

Congratulations to Dan Gheesling, the winner of Big Brother 10. Father Dan played a great game, and was a true Renegade.

And congratulations to America’s Favorite Juror, Keesha Smith, winner of $25,000.

We will be following up with more information, and with after show interviews, and cast party videos in the days to come, so keep checking back.

With the season finale of Big Brother 10 tonight, I  think it’s appropriate for me to wrap up my Player’s Fatal Mistakes. Depending on what happens tonight, we’ll find out whether Dan or Memphis made a fatal mistake in their game play.

Michelle: Actually, this eviction  made the least sense to me. Michelle was actually a victim of Ollie’s stupidity.  She didn’t actually do anything, aside from break down into personal, irrational, paranoid strategies in the end.  But I do think that overall, she would have lasted longer had she not gotten into the “us versus them” mentality .

As we reach the end of another wild season of Big Brother, it’s time for me to take on the role of Monday morning quarterback and tell you  where I think each player blew their chance at a half a million dollars. It’s time for Player’s Fatal Mistakes.

Now, I know that I haven’t been a fan of Dan’s game play, and I am really struggling to see anything Memphis had done this season in the way of active strategizing (making deals with everyone doesn’t require much thought). But at the end of the game,  you have to admit that at least one of the two people played the game well. So, I give Dan all due respect. I think the biggest issue that I have from an entertainment standpoint, was that The Renegades weren’t as cool or as awesome as their name would lead you to believe.  Let’s move on:

It’s been a busy few days in the Big Brother house, with the dismissal of Michelle and Ollie. It’s always strange after double-eviction week, and for BB fans, it’s a little sad, because you know it’s just a matter of a couple of weeks until it’s all over.

Anyway, things were on shaky ground for a few days, and depending on who you are rooting for to win it all, it doesn’t look good.

The season starts like any season of Big Brother, with the house guests lined up silently in front of the Big Brother house. Then, not five minutes into show, Julie says the house guests are going to choose the HoH before they even enter the house. Immediately, I,  like the majority of viewers thought that Jerry

would make the best HoH at this point in the game. For one he’s old and…well, he’s  old and thereby not a threat.

Once the house guests started filing into the house, they quickly began to realize that Renny is crazy. But not in that wacky, do anything, Crazy James way; she’s crazy in that “Natalie please stop talking”, kind of way. After all of the greetings and pleasantries were exchanged, the house guests headed outside for their first food/luxury competition.
