Errrm...why are they being thrown into the wall?

its

This is a pretty mean task - great equipment too

oh Keesha went!

They get slammed against the wall again and Keesha goes

The running water makes me think of sausages sizzling in a pan. lol

Just Dan & Ollie left now

We lost Michelle a bit earlier. She complained her foot was tangled in something.

Aaaaand now we just lost Memphis, who dropped to the mat with a splat. He's struggling to move and Jerry's trying to help him out.

Dan and Ollie are still swinging freely.

People watching on tv say Dan keeps trying to cut a deal with Ollie, but Ollie is refusing and says he wants to win.

Meanwhile I am having to put up with stupid trivia and that awful music.

Deal or no deal (I was kind of distracted), Ollie dropped and Dan is the new HoH.

*pours mazey a drink*

Producer's voice comes over the tannoy, so back to trivia.

It's just basic Marioesque H&S stuff.

Please sit down and get warm.
Please don't have hypothermia on Showtime.
etc.

Ollie cut a deal with dan. (Michelle and Ollie stay off the block). Ollie dropped. Dan is the new HOH.

Dan is becoming a very powerful player.

I wonder if Dan will nominate Jerry and Renny - with Renny as the pawn. If they win veto, there is nothing in the deal that says he cannot backdoor Michelle!

Keesha claims to have overheard bits and pieces of their deal, but not enough to do anything but raise red flags in Memphis' head.

Keesha - "It's scaaaaaaary."

I was so sure he was going to stick with his stupid (at this stage) low profile loser persona. At last, we will get points.

I will have that as a starter tomorrow night, thanks.

Apparently Ollie negotiated some other things into the deal.

He gets to pick 1 nomination.
He gets to pick the pov replacement(if used)
Michelle and He are safe

basically ollie is co-hoh

if dan keeps his word

More conspiracy theories are floating around the house, most of them involving Dan's girlfriend, Monica. During sequester, Michelle may or may not have seen her in a hotel hallway, and Ollie claims to have shared a van with her.

Combined with his canny wearing of a raincoat for the HoH competition, it's leading the hamsters to believe that Dan's a plant.

Dan said before that Monica was suppose to be involved in the show some how but those plans got canceled.

Also just because Dan wore a coat doesn't mean he's a plant, it just means he's watched the past nine seasons of Big Brother and knows that endurance challenges can sometimes involve rain/water, it just means he's smart.

I mean Ollie wore gloves, so does that mean he's a plant?

I think Michelle is just going crazy, she is still determined that plane banner said "Libra is a liar".

Anyway for those interested, I did an interview with Angie where I asked questions such as "Which housemate looks best as a Sock Puppet?" and "Is Memphis a bartender or a mixologist?" and of course "Who has the more irritating voice Jerry or Keesha?".

I cannot believe that Dan is saying he is going to nominate Memphis and Jerry.

From what I just read on an American forum, Ollie told Michelle that if the Veto is used, then he gets to say who goes up as a replacement!

Dan may have the title of HoH, but at the moment Ollie is the HoH and calling all the shots.

Dan for goodness sakes grow a backbone and nominate Michelle. To hell with losing a jury vote or even 3, there are another four votes inside the house right now.

Dan'll throw complete weight behind the veto competition, and take Memphis off - thereby keeping him safe because Ollie can't nom him. Actually it might be a smooth move from Dan, as he's assured that two of his alliance - Memphis and Michelle - will be safe. Renny'll be put up against Jerry then, and it'll be interesting to see who the others nominate then.

I'm not exactly sure what Dan is thinking right now, it seems to me he's putting up Jerry and Memphis, both as pawns with the intention of winning the Veto and taking Memphis off and putting up Michelle??

It's confusing, I'd like to see his DR's to get a better understanding of what he's actually doing. I do think it was smart that he asked Ollie who else he wants safe because that showed Dan that Ollie is aligned with Michelle and that Michelle is playing all sides.

Oh and update on why Dan always wears that red shirt, he only has two different shirts because BB took the rest away for some reason!

Well it's official - Jerry and Memphis are on the block.

Dan seems to think he can secure Renny's vote if the veto isn't used, but I seriously think he has lost the plot. Renny hates Memphis and would vote him out in a heartbeat over Jerry.

If Ollie or Michelle win, they will not use it. If Jerry wins it and uses it, then Michelle will go up, but Dan would still have to convince Renny or Jerry to vote his way.

I think the only person Memphis can rely on, is himself. If he or Dan doesn't get it, then he is a gonner.

This season sucks, as they have failed to find any real game players in my opinion. Rule number one is never ever nominate your own alliance. Rule number two, is don't makes extra stupid deals that ensures the other side safety. sigh!

Just when I think Dan's the best game player in the House, he goes and - at best - uses his closest ally as a pawn at best.

The only thing is whether Dan is trying to rig the whole thing, to protect Memphis. He may think Renny, Michelle and by default, Ollie, want to keep Memphis and lose Jerry as a result if he loses on the veto.

Or he could be taking a massive risk and be gunning for Memphis - but I'll be amazed if that's the case.

Here is the actual plan and by the way Memphis isn't really Dan's closest ally, Memphis tries to work everyone.

Anyway here is Dan's thinking as far as I can tell:

-He's put Jerry and Memphis on the block
-Prior to this he secured the word of both Keesha and Renny to keep Memphis in this week and even though Renny doesn't trust Memphis she said she'll stick by what Dan wants.
-The plan is for either Dan, Memphis or possibly even Keesha or Renny to win the Veto and take Memphis off and replace him with Michelle with the intention of voting Michelle out. Taking Michelle out breaks her ties with Memphis and also breaks up her alliance with Ollie.
-Ollie has already said that if he wins Veto he will take Jerry off "So that Dan has to put up a member of his own alliance", except this wasn't part of the deal so as Ollie is planning on breaking the deal, Dan will still put up Michelle if either Jerry or Memphis come off the block.

It could backfire big time or it could just be a great great move.
