[FONT=Verdana]Another super-long one... but, gosh darn it, this episode's worth it. ;)
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The show opens in black & white, with last week's scene showing Dan nominating Jerry and Memphis for eviction. As the nomination ceremony is adjourned, the screen turns to color, and the current episode begins.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Memphis shoots Dan a dirty look as everyone leaves the table. Ollie and Renny hug.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Ollie DR: "I asked Dan to put up Memphis, and that's exactly what happened. I couldn't be in a better position right now. I get all the good things that come with being HoH. I get to call all the shots, but at the same time my hands are clean. There's no blood on my hands."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]The HGs are still leaving the table. Dan tries to shake Memphis' hand but Memphis[/FONT] sidesteps him and keeps on walking.[INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Memphis DR: "Dan's deal has put me in a bad position this week. I think Dan's plan is crap. It's just frustrating that he thinks it's a good idea."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Jerry DR: "I think I'm in a little trouble this week, tell you the truth. But I am a fighter and if you don't know that about me... I guess by now you don't know me too well."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "Memphis is nominated because Ollie wants him nominated. That's how it looks on the outside. On the inside, it's gonna hide any suspicion that Memphis and I are running the secret Renegade alliance. Like anything in this game, it's a risk. However like any risk I take in life, it's very calculated."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]Memphis and Dan talk game:[/FONT][/B]
[FONT=Verdana]Memphis walks up to Dan's HoH room. He's holding his stomach like he has an angry ulcer or something. He lets out a big sigh of disgust as Dan lets him in the room. Dan asks, "Is that an act, or are you **********]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "I'm a little ****ed! You know, I mean, you just.. you're taking a huge, huge risk. Huge! You're the only person I have an alliance with."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I know. If I were you I'd be ****ed too, but keep playing that up in the public, please."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "I mean, I will! I [I]am[/I] **********]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I know you are, man, but... here's the thing: You know, obviously, who Ollie said to put up."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "Yeah, [I]me[/I]!"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "If I don't put you up, what the ***k happens?" Memphis shakes his head. "There's part of the deal I didn't tell everyone. You're the only person I'm telling. I told Ollie if the veto is used, he can pick the nominee." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "[I]What the hell were you smoking when you were up there![/I]"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "But that ain't happening."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "What if Ollie wins the POV and takes Jerry off?" [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Michelle's going up."[/FONT][INDENT][FONT=Verdana][I]Dan DR: "I made a deal with Ollie that's too good to be true, and he thinks that he's gonna be able to pick the replacement nominee. No way, Ollie, am I going to send home someone from my own alliance to appease you! That's just not going to work and you're dumb for believing it." [/I]Truer words were never spoken, Dan. Ollie is one dumb ***.[/FONT]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]D: "If we get through this week, we have a golden path paved for us." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "That ain't gonna happen."[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Memphis DR: "I got Dan telling me I'm safe, well guess what Dan? You don't have a vote, buddy. So you telling me it's all cool... is not."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]Dan, Renny & Keesha talk game:[/B][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Dan walks into the Rebel Room, where Keesha is laying in bed. He asks her if he made a mistake. She says she doesn't know... she's not in his position. Dan says that Memphis is nervous and Keesha says that he [I]should [/I]be. She doesn't think that things are going to do the way that Dan wants them to. Renny hops into the room. She seems rather chipper. "What do you think, Renny?" asks Dan.
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "What do I think?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Did I do the right thing?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Was that his wishes? ...to put up the Colonel? or Memphis?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "What do you think?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "I think he wanted Memphis up."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "Yeah, that's obvious."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "So, he wanted Michelle protected?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I'm not going to say anything.... But you're a very smart woman."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "Well, now we know Ollie and Michelle have an alliance together."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Do you think I made the right decision?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Well, if that's the deal you made with him."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "Dan, what if Memphis wins the POV and takes himself off the block?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "If the veto is used, I'm not putting [Renny] up and I'm not putting [Keesha] up..." He shrugs his shoulders like, 'who's left?'[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "You'd have to put her up!" (meaning Michelle) She is wide-eyed.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Oops."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Unless you're putting [I]me [/I]up. And, honey, I will come back and haunt your ***kin' ***. I mean it." She cuts her eyes at him.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I wouldn't do that, but I need to be able to count on you."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "You need to count on us 'cause that ***ker [Memphis] don't win HoHs, okay?" Her eyes are now moderately bulging.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Without a doubt. Are you kidding me? I'm doing this because it's best for us. You gotta trust me on that."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "If you don't quit saying that!" Her lower incisors are bared in a vaguely bulldog-esque manner. She may bite him![/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I'm... Fine, then--"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "You better quit saying that!" Renny is so bug-eyed now... it looks like one of her eyeballs might just pop out and kill Dan itself.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I'll stop being honest then." He is grinning, thoroughly enjoying this exchange.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Actions speak louder than words."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]Ollie, Jerry & Michelle talk game:[/B][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]It's nighttime. Michelle walks into the Rebel Room, where Jerry and Ollie are talking. Ollie explains to Jerry and Michelle that not only did he get to select a nominee and protect Michelle, he also gets to select the replacement nominee if the veto is used. Michelle says that that's a pretty good deal, and Ollie says that he'd be dumb not to take it. Jerry interjects, "But if it's not that way, we're screwed." Ollie shrugs and says he's got to trust Dan.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Michelle questions Ollie about the possibility of one of them being backdoored. Ollie says, "He won't do that. I told him. That's the deal. He already screwed the house once." Jerry says that one of the three of them has to win the POV.[/FONT][INDENT][FONT=Verdana][I]Jerry DR: "I think that's a terrible deal that Ollie made with Dan. I don't trust anybody in this house that they'll live up to their end of the bargain, including Dan 'cause he's done it before." [/I]Surprised that Jerry actually said something smart this episode? Me too.
[/FONT]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]O, to Jerry: "I think the best case scenario is if you win it and use it on yourself."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]J: "Because of the tie vote, he has us right by the balls." Whoa, two intelligent insights in one episode! Jerry's on a roll. By the look on Jerry's face, you'd think that Dan were already applying considerable pressure to said balls.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]O: "No, he doesn't." Ollie clearly isn't onboard the smart train this evening.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]J: "Unless we can get one of them."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]O: "Okay, we'll see. If he wasn't going to do it, he wouldn't have put Memphis up. He wouldn't have took the risk."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]J: "We'll see what happens."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]O: "We got the game in our hands right now. If he screws me, I promise you, hell will be unleashed on him."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]America's Vote: Phonecall from home:[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]All the houseguests gather in the living room and discover that America will vote on who gets to receive a phone call from home. Keesha says she would love to hear from her parents. After they hear the news, Michelle goes into the poodle room and begins to cry. Renny follows her in and comforts her. Michelle explains that she's just so lonely in the house and she "would just die" to have a phone call from her mom. She cries in the DR that she would be so grateful to be the one picked. Jerry comforts her as well, and says that a call would mean a lot to him too.[/FONT][INDENT][FONT=Verdana][I]Jerry DR: "Oh my God. The announcement today just made me worry about my wife for the first time, and... she has Parkinson's... I would love to know she's okay. Fifty-four years, I've never been away from her this long, you know?"[/I] What!? Jerry has been in the house for a month and a half and it is just occurring to him to worry about his sick wife? Nice.[/FONT]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Cut to the next day. We hear a phone ringing. Michelle runs out to the common area. "Oh my God!" she yells, "there's a telephone in the living room!" She just stands there, wide-eyed, staring at the phone as it rings. "Do we answer it?!" she asks. Duh. "Are we supposed to answer the phone?!?" Duh! She looks around for a moment more and then answers it. It's for Jerry. His daughter, great-grandson, and wife take turns with the phone. Because I think it's mean to talk smack about little kids and sick old ladies, I will refrain from making some all-too-obvious comments about my impressions of Jerry's family.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Jerry gets teary-eyed during the phone-call, & some of the other HGs follow suit. He asks his wife if she thinks all the HGs have "been behaving real good." "Well..." is all she says to that (lol!). Jerry is pretty choked up after the call. He wishes that the other HGs could have gotten a call from home as well. He thanks America. The call made his day. All the HGs congratulate him. Pretty touching moment (no sarcasm).[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]Dan, Memphis and Keesha talk game:[/FONT][/B]
[FONT=Verdana]Memphis rings Dan's HoH doorbell. ...and rings it, and rings it, and rings it some more. Dan answers the door. "Calm down, Hercules!" he says. They laugh. Keesha is already in HoH. The three start speculating about eviction scenarios.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "Do you think Michelle would vote you out?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "If you woulda asked me two weeks ago I would've said no. If you'd asked me last week, I would've said I don't think so. You ask me this week... I'm like, I have no ***king clue."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "I mean, I wonder who Michelle would put up if she was head of household."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Not Ollie. That's probably the one certainty."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "Yeah! That's the thing... no way."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "That leaves four people. Us three and Renny."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "Two of us will go up."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "No matter what. Even if one of us gets the POV, another of us will go up. No matter what."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "I mean, 'cause it's not enough people. Period. Bottom line."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "So what's the best case scenario for this week then?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "Michelle goes home."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Keesha's forehead creases are a little shocked at this utterance, but they realize that Memphis is only speaking the inevitable truth, and the truth is harsh but it must be accepted. "Whew!" says Keesha's mouth to her forehead.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "It was my goal this week to get out of HoH with no blood on my hands, but Michelle is a tough competitor. Why would I keep Michelle in the house when I know she could win this whole thing? If someone wins the veto, this is too great of an opportunity to p*** up, and I'm gonna have to break the deal with Ollie."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]K: "It's us and them. I mean, it's so apparent now." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Yeah, but let's say we get a little lucky, and someone comes off and Michelle goes up."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "If we do put Michelle up, we have to make sure that the votes are there." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Well, we only need two. You and Renny."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "She'd flip!"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "There's a lot riding on this."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "It's an important POV. Very important POV."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]It's time to pick players for the POV![/B] Dan gathers all the HGs in the living room.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]Dan[/B] selects [B]Renny[/B].[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]Memphis[/B] selects [B]Keesha[/B].[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]Jerry[/B] selects 'houseguest's choice' and picks [B]Michelle[/B].[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Ollie is the host.[/FONT][INDENT][FONT=Verdana][I]Ollie DR: "I was the only player not selected, and I was bummed man! I'd rather compete in this competition to control my own fate! I'm not given that chance, and I'm helpless at this point. I can't do anything, I pretty much have to rely on the deal I made with Dan." [/I]lol! who are you kidding, Ollie? As a general rule, you completely suck at competitions, therefore you are pretty much helpless anyway. Get to hosting.[/FONT]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]Ollie talks to Dan in HoH after the POV selections:[/FONT][/B]
[FONT=Verdana]Ollie says, "I just want to know... You know, re***ure the deal. I appreciate you going through with two thirds of it. There's still one part--which is a huge part--left and I expect you to go through with it. If any of them were to win it, they're probably going to use it.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "For me to sacrifice basically all the power of HoH this week to Ollie... he's gotta be crazy to think that. I worked pretty hard for that HoH and for me to do that, it'd be one of the dumbest moves in Big Brother history."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Ollie continues, "If anything were to blow up, we've definitely got your back. 'Cause we definitely need you on our side. If things were to get nasty, just know man, we're there man, we ain't going nowhere."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Dan just nods his head a lot and says, "Okay."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]POV Competition:[/FONT][/B]
[FONT=Verdana]The houseguests enter the back yard. They are all dressed in baggy silver 'astronaut' outfits and are carrying helmets. The yard is done up to look like some B-movie quality set of the planet Mars, with rust-red-painted tarps and rocks all over the place, and spaceship décor here and there. Some triumphant music reminiscent of "2001" plays as the HGs survey their surroundings. The POV comp is called, "One Giant Leap."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]"This is awesome," says Michelle. I would have gone with 'corny' or 'cheesy,' but ok.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]For this competition, the HGs must complete puzzles, wherein the pieces are large magnets. They must select 12 puzzle pieces, one-at-a-time, from a bin, then zip-line themselves "through space" over to a magnetic board, stick the piece to the board, and zip back over again, and repeat the process until the puzzle is completed. There are more pieces in each bin than are needed to complete the puzzle. The race consists of 3 heats: The winners of the first two heats compete in the third heat for POV.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]First heat: Dan, Michelle, Keesha.[/FONT][INDENT][FONT=Verdana][I]Dan DR: "I'm feeling very confident that Michelle's going to have a difficult time with this puzzle. What Michelle has in strength, she lacks in brain power." [/I]Oh, poor Michelle. Everybody knows you're a dumb-dumb :( [/FONT]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Michelle DR: "I'm really good at puzzles. That's what I do at home all the time. But I just couldn't seem to get the pieces off the magnetic board."
[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Keesha DR: "I really didn't pay that much attention to Michelle and Dan because I got the puzzle, like, right away. It just kind of clicked. I felt like Superman. Or, Superwoman, should I say."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Keesha wins the first heat. Poor Michelle is not looking good--in more ways than one.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Second heat: Memphis, Jerry, Renny. [/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Memphis DR: "I have to win this competition. There's no other option for me. I have to win. If Jerry wins this, I might as well pack my bags."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Jerry DR: "I need to win the veto because my life is on the line. I personally feel that it's the only thing that's gonna save me right now."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Renny DR: "I so loved being in the astronaut suit. Any kind of costume reminds me of Mardi Gras. I knew what I had to do, but, uh... I was enjoying it at the same time... and wondering what I looked look like, actually." [/FONT][/I][FONT=Verdana]Oh, Renny.[/FONT][I][FONT=Verdana]
[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Memphis wins the second heat.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Third heat: Keesha vs. Memphis.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Ollie DR: "Keesha and Memphis are in the final, which tells me one thing: My power will come into play in the power of veto ceremony. So, in a way, inside I'm a little giddy! At this point, I love it! So no matter what happens, I get to have a say in what goes down."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Dan: "Seeing Memphis and Keesha in the final heat, it was great for me. I couldn't have orchestrated this whole thing any better."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][B][FONT=Verdana] Memphis wins the POV![/FONT][/B][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Memphis DR: "Now that I've won veto, the plan that w***et forth is kind of like a sealed deal. I trust Dan, and I trust Keesha and Renny. We have the power in the house at this point."[/FONT][/I]
[FONT=Verdana][I]Ollie DR: "Dan is gonna have to either replace Memphis with Renny or Keesha. And these are the people that he's aligned with! So... they're not gonna like Dan too well after this week."[/I] He laughs, very smugly. Man, it's really too bad Ollie is so fearful of crows... if you know what I mean.
[/FONT]
[/INDENT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "Everyone knows that Memphis is going to take himself off the block. And someone has to go up in his place. Who's it gonna be? I think Michelle and Ollie think they're both 100% safe. And any time you think that in this game, you're in trouble. So I think they're gonna be very shocked when they see what happens."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana] ....[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]Memphis and Dan: Post-POV Competition:[/FONT][/B]
[FONT=Verdana]Memphis walks into HoH. Dan hops all over him and then jumps around on the bed in celebration of the POV win. They are both extremely happy & celebratory.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "So we're sure Michelle is the person we need to get rid of this week?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I mean, any other thoughts, talk about it. We can beat Ollie."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]"M: "Yeah, I believe that. The thing about Michelle is she's such a loose cannon, you know? I mean, that's one reason--I just don't want that kind of hostility in this house, to be honest with you. And she's even, like, a friend, and she's still a *****.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I mean, Ollie's gonna be **********]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "He's gotta understand, like, we're running out of people. ...We've just gotta win HoH next week dude."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Yeah, but, I'm telling Ollie I'm trying to talk you out of using it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]The doorbell rings, and Memphis lets Keesha into HoH. Dan lets Keesha know that there was a third part of the deal he didn't tell her about. She quickly guesses what it was. Renny comes up to HoH & Dan also tells her about the third part of his deal with Ollie.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Three parts?" She rolls her eyes.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]M: "Dan's not a very good negotiator." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "What the crap does that mean?" She looks annoyed.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Keesha explains that Ollie thinks he gets to choose either Keesha or Renny to go up in Memphis' place. Dan says that obviously that's not going to go through and he plans to put "one of them" up instead. He asks his alliance not to let on that they know anything because he wants Ollie to think that everything is going according to plan. He says that he knows they weren't thrilled with his nominations, but it was paramount for him to do the first two parts of the deal so that Ollie would think that the third part was legit as well.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]K: "Dude... Michelle goes up, he is gonna flip his lid."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "You guys all know what I'm going to do. All I gotta say is if some stuff goes down.. you guys better have my back."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "No wonder he wants to be protected! You're gonna need some protection!" She laughs, all crazy-like.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]Ollie talks 'game' Dan strings Ollie along:[/B]
[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Downstairs in the kitchen, Ollie appears to be 'thinking.' Jerry, Michelle and Dan are also in the room. Ollie asks Dan to talk upstairs and they head up to HoH.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Ollie DR: "I'm walking on pins and needles right now. I have to be careful on, you know, how I approach Dan because he still has the power. I mean, he could put either myself or Michelle up. Just because he made a deal with me doesn't make me completely safe."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Dan tells Ollie that he is trying to talk Memphis out of using the veto.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]O: "He's gonna use it. I don't see him not using it. And that's the thing, dude. What we discussed up there... it was my choice to pick anybody I could. I want Keesha to go up."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Alright."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]O: "Is that a problem man? I just want to know where your head's at. Are you wavering on not following through with it, or.."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "No, I mean, my hands are tied, you know, so.."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Ollie says he just wanted to make sure, because he's worried that Dan won't follow through. Ollie promises that, if everything goes according to plan, Dan's protection is guaranteed by Michelle, Jerry, and himself. Dan re***ures Ollie that he's sticking to the plan.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "Ollie came up to my room and talked about putting Keesha up on the block. That's absolutely insane! Because there's no that's ever going to happen! And he's kidding himself if he thinks I'm actually going to follow through with that."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]...[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]Dan plays a game:[/FONT][/B][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "No matter what happens after this veto ceremony, someone's going to be mad at me. So in order to get the attention off of me, I have to cause drama and fights between everyone in the house. And it kind of hit me like a Mack truck: why not play a game at the veto ceremony? At the veto meeting, I'm going to ask each individual who they think should be the replacement nominee. Now, I want each houseguest's name to be brought up in some way. That's gonna make an enemy out of someone possibly sitting across from them."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Dan variously talks to the HGs in HoH. Michelle tells him that she would want Keesha on the block, so step one of his game is set. Dan then asks Ollie if he would have a problem naming a replacement suggestion at the ceremony, Ollie says that he wouldn't have a problem saying Keesha's name, but he wouldn't want to say Renny's. Dan says that Renny's name is what he needs from Ollie. Ollie is very uncomfortable with this, but he agrees to do what Dan wants once Dan reaffirms that he is following through with the deal.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Next up to HoH are Keesha and Renny. Keesha says she'll have no problem throwing Michelle' name out at the meeting. Renny, however, has a problem with saying Ollie's name.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Why would you want to do that?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "Once you see what's gonna happen, you'll understand why." [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "That--What are you talking about, 'what's gonna happen'? I really don't like it. I think it's a cop out. I see what you're doing, you really don't want to make the decision... so it looks like Keesha and I are doing it, right?"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Dan says no, no, no. Then he asks whether Renny would still have a problem saying Ollie's name if Ollie said hers first. Dan says he knows for a fact both Keesha and Renny's names with be suggested as replacement nominees by the other HGs. Renny now looks like she's ready to punch someone in the face. She says, "If somebody's gonna say my name, I'm saying ***king their name!"[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]D: "I'm not trying to put you in the fire. I'm not trying to do that. I wouldn't do that."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]R: "Okay. I'll say it." She is **********][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "If this all works out there's gonna be fireworks in the air and I'm gonna be watching them from my HoH room!"[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]D: "You guys have absolutely nothing to worry about. She's going up. She's leaving. I just need the fireworks. That's all I'm asking."[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]....[/FONT]
[B][FONT=Verdana]POV ceremony!:[/FONT][/B][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Memphis DR: "I'm gonna use the Power of Veto on myself, take myself off the block and Dan is going to put up Michelle and break his deal. You know it's gonna get crazy in here. Hopefully I can sit back and watch and relax."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Ollie DR: "In a way, I do feel like I'm in the driver's seat because I am calling the shots. The power has never been taken from the HoH ever like this before. It really turns the game upside down and I'm just really hoping that this thing follows through."[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "When I woke up this morning I knew I had to stir things up, cause some havoc, create some chaos... And I'm thinking, possibly with my veto speech, I can cause a lot of tension between everyone else, and take some of the eyes and pressure off of me."[/FONT][/I]
[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Memphis calls all the HGs into the living room for the veto meeting. When Jerry gets his chance to speak, he congratulates Memphis on winning the veto & a job well done, but doesn't expect or ask to have the veto used on himself. Memphis, of course, uses the POV on himself then tells Dan he must choose a replacement nominee.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Dan the Ham is all revved up for his well-practiced speech. He jumps right in: "As HoH, this is the worst case scenario. I've made two people angry at me, and now I have to make a third. However, in this house, everyone in here knows I like to have some fun. And I have fun by playing games. So right now we're gonna play a game... a very high stakes game... and I'd like to call it 'Replacement Nominee Roulette.'" Ollie smirks, Michelle looks serious, Renny looks at the ceiling, and Keesha looks a little bored/annoyed. [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Dan continues: "Here's how you play the game: number one, you will be asked who you wish to have as a replacement nominee. Only four people are participating. The second rule is you must be truthful. The third rule is if you choose not to participate and say 'I don't think this is fair, I don't want to put someone up,' you're going up. So, here's how it works: You say a person's name. You say anything but a person's name: you're going on the block." Nobody looks happy about this except Ollie. Ollie is still grinning like a confident idiot.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Dan goes around, asking the non-nominated houseguests who they would put up. Michelle says Keesha, Ollie says Renny (as previously planned). Keesha and Renny both say that they'll choose the name of the person who chose them. Dan then says that "when you gamble, you take risks." He says that someone in the house gambled with someone else's safety "and in this case, Ollie, you lost the bet. Michelle, go on the block." BAM! [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]

[FONT=Verdana]For some reason, Ollie still can't seem to wipe the smirk off his face... though now it is more of an embarr***ed smirk. Michelle is livid, Renny is ****ed, Keesha has a look on her face like 'that was mean and uncalled for,' Keesha's forehead creases are shocked into submission, Jerry has his usual old sourpuss on. No one is happy but Dan... and Memphis, but Memphis is keeping his composure. He adjourns the meeting.[/FONT][INDENT][I][FONT=Verdana]Michelle DR: "How did I get backdoored for somebody else's deal? Does that make sense? And I swear to GOD! If I find out he's a ***king plant? WHICH I KNOW HE IS!! Seriously, do you think I'm stupid?! Does it have ***king STUPID on my ***king head?!?! I'm telling you! I'm telling you! If you don't think that I know what the ***k is going on here?!?! You got another thing coming!"[/FONT][/I]
[I][FONT=Verdana]Dan DR: "Wow. I surprised myself with this one. You know I've been playing this game very p***ively, laying low. But when an opportunity presents itself to take a big shot in this game, you gotta take it. I just lit the fuse to the dynamite... and I'm walking away."[/FONT][/I]
[FONT=Verdana][I]Ollie DR: "Big ups to Dan. If he wanted a circus, he got a circus. Because he's really done nothing in this game but **** people off. For him to disrespect me in the way he did... I guarantee you that will be rectified before I leave here." [/I]Lol! Okay, Ollie. You've been a great player in this game so far, so I can see why you'd be ****ed at Dan for 'doing nothing.'

[/INDENT][FONT=Verdana]Ollie walks into the kitchen and hurls a big lollipop. He then walks into the backyard and knocks a large lantern onto the ground.[/FONT] aaaaaaand.... that's all, folks. That was awesome.
Hopefully, all goes according to plan, and Michelle's *** is booted on Thursday! :D
