And the New BB10 Head of Household Is ...

How fitting was it that Big Brother 10 featured Aftershocks as a Head of Household competition after the earthquakes this week? Their staff must have worked many overtime hours on that thing. It was awesome! The building was tilted, it intermittently shook, trash was dumped, wind was blowing dirt and stuff and they had to hold on. As I expected, Jerry went first, but I didn't expect the outcome.

After Jerry went down, Libra dropped shortly afterwards. That surprised me because old girl knows she's a target, you would think she'd have tried a little harder to hold on. After Libra, went Dan. I know he could have lasted longer, but I guess he's continuing his act of not being a threat.

Ollie was next and then I think Jessie was disqualified. We heard Keesha whisper into her microphone something about him wedging his arm between the bar and wall and then we went to trivia. When we got the feeds back, Jessie was off and sulking. Memphis dropped off next and it left our final three: Renny, Michelle and April.

Now I admit that I never thought Renny would outlast all those younguns, but she did. I was impressed by her. What I thought disturbing about this whole thing was the lack of support from the peanut gallery. This was one of the quietest competitions. It was like they were afraid to cheer for anyone because if the other won, they'd be nominated. That's sad. But then it was Dan to the rescue! He cracked me up! He put on his football coach hat and gave all three ladies pep talks. They were so funny.

Once Renny dropped it was April and Michelle for the long haul. Both those ladies looked like they'd be up there for a good while. Neither of their men were cheering them on or anything ... jerks. For a while there, no one said a word, not the two remaining ladies, nor their alliance mates on the sidelines.


Time for a deal. April promised Michelle safety, but Michelle wouldn't drop. She apologized, and April cracked me up when she said that Michelle could stay up there all night with her if she wanted to. After another stretch, Michelle got April to guarantee Jesse's safety as well and in return Michelle promised April and Ollie safety when she won HoH. You could just tell that both those girl's arms were seriously hurting. Finally she dropped off.


April is the new Big Brother 10 Head of Household! Jerry is probably relieved that he'll have a week without having to pretend to be asleep while she and Ollie do their business. But maybe he shouldn't be too relieved. If she's promised Jesse and Michelle safety, who will she nominate? I guess we'll find out Friday. Until then, catch y'all later.
