DAN!

Jerry's gonna give it up!

So Jerry and Ollie will surely be on the block this week.

It looks like Memphis won POV. So this could end up being an interesting week, depending on how they use it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them try to backdoor Michelle, despite the deal with Ollie.

Ok, so how in the world did they get Michelle up? Why would Ollie let that happen? I can't believe Dan would break his deal, so what's going down in that house? What alliances have shifted or are perceived to have shifted that would make Ollie think it was a good idea to let Dan replace Memphis with Michelle? I see NO benefit to him with that move unless something big has happened or Ollie's been conned. I'm not a fan of his, but he's not stupid.

The whole thing with Memphis getting nominated was Dan trying to set it up so that he and Memphis wouldn't go on the block together. He's been trying to downplay their alliance to the rest of the house. Memphis is supposed to talk about wanting Dan out later this week. Dan also set up Ollie so that Renny wouldn't like him anymore. He didn't want her nominating Memphis instead of Ollie. To this point it looks like he has probably achieved those objectives, though he is almost certainly on the block himself if HOH doesn't go his way on Thursday.

It's kind of funny the way that both Keesha and Dan are using/playing each other. As for today...he had Ollie announce that he wanted Renny up at the veto meeting then put Michelle up instead. Obviously this caused a "shit fit". Michelle has been ranting and raving and cursing and acting like Michelle. Ollie started damaging the BB property.

In fact, Ollie is stupid. He was screaming about how this was supposed to be his HOH week. Ollie is also ranting about Dan being a plant and Monica (Dan's GF) isn't real and works for production. Real stupid conspiracy stuff.

I still am not clear on how Michelle got put up. Dan promised, I heard him, Ollie that he could pick the POV replacement. So, did Ollie pick Michelle (if so, why is he pissed?) or did Dan break his deal? Typically, I think lying is perfectly fine and find it amusing that people make a big deal of it when it's the point of the game, but I usually think you cross the line when you make an HOH endurance deal and don't keep it, especially if you're a pretty religious catholic school teacher who pretty much swore on everything and everyone that he knows and loves. Also, I'm interested in what what you mean by Keesha and Dan playing each other. Who's got the edge so far? What are they trying to accomplish? I mean, had there been no deal at all between Dan and Ollie, I would have thought if Dan won HOH, it would have been Jerry and Ollie, with Michelle going up as the replacement. So, her going up now doesn't seem to help Dan or Keesha more or less unless she blames one more than the other, but Dan put her up not Keesha. I'm only seeing the edited versions, but it does seem that Memphis/Dan and Keesha/Renny are still solid. Do both groups know that and just figure to let the best "man" win in the final 4 if they get that far or are there any legitimate side deals, like Keesha with Memphis that, say, Dan doesn't know about? Finally, Memphis would be stupid to stay with Dan. Unless I'm missing a lot, Dan has been the superior player by far this season. He's a force when he wants to be in contests and he's pulling a lot of strings. No matter what else is going on, Dan is clearly playing proactively and by the end or at the jury that would be clear. Usually on this show, even if they don't like you, you usually win if you're perceived to be the one who played the best game. Dan's ahead now and if he makes it to the end, he'll be WAY ahead. I only see him, at this point, as almost unbeatable if he gets to the jury. I actually like him 2nd behind Keesha, but he needs to go if anyone else wants to win in my opinion

Michelle got put up b/c she was gunning for Keesha, and she's seen as a much larger threat than Jerry. I'm sure Dan did not want to put up Ollie b/c of the HOH deal. He broke the whole deal, but it's hard to imagine anyone keeping that whole deal.

Ollie actually wanted Keesha to go up as the replacement nominee, but Dan wouldn't do it. Renny was the compromise (and Dan was supposed to vote Renny out if it was a tie), but Dan played it as if Ollie wanted Renny to go up and made Ollie announce during the veto ceremony. I think part of this was a little vindictive gameplay on Dan's part. Michelle and Ollie have been pretty insufferable. He was just sticking it to them.

Dan and Keesha are alligned...act as if they are each other's number one alliance, but aren't in both cases. They tell each other stuff but then report back to both Memphis and Renny respectively (though in Renny's case Keesha does filter a little b/c Renny's nuts and any little thing can set her off). Who's winning...I guess it remains to be seen. The other part of Dan's plan this week was to have the blame of this fall on Keesha just in case (he's weak...she pushed him to do it..etc). I'm not sure if that's really worked the way he wanted or not. If Ollie or Jerry win HOH on Thurs they will probably end up on the block together.

I don't think Memphis has anywhere else to go. He's not tops with Keesha. Renny doesn't trust him, and the others don't like him (Barring some sort of surprise maneuvering I'm assuming Michelle's going home). What does he really think of Dan? All we have is his diary room for that b/c he doesn't tell anyone other than Dan what he's really thinking.
