BB11: She Was Gonna Do What??

Hey y'all, how's it going? Today was the Power of Veto Meeting in the Big Brother 11 house. What should have been a no brainer, quick and easy ceremony looked like it would be anything but.

Earlier today, I was flabbergasted to find out that Michele was seriously considering using the veto on Jeff. Yeah, they almost had her convinced that the only way to save him would be to take him off and they would promise to vote to keep her. I admit that I was almost ready to reach through cyberspace to slap her upside her head. It's really beginning to bug me how intrusive the Diary Room people are this season. It was right after a Diary Room session that Michele brought up this stupid idea.

Yesterday, Sunday, Natalie and Jordan tried to convince Jeff to approach Michele with this plan and he refused. Then today she brings it up? Oh come on. And while yesterday I was ready to give Jeff props for refusing the idea, today he not only agreed, he showed his true colors yet again. He promised Michele that he'd vote to keep her if she did it, then turned around and told Jordan that it would be 2-0 to evict Michele. Yeah, his armor is seriously tarnished.

The feeds went to trivia for the meeting after a good little while of Michele, by herself, looking as if she were seriously considering this folly. Thankfully, it didn't take too long after the feeds came back for us to find out that she hadn't totally lost her mind. She did in fact use the veto on herself and Jordan was put up as a replacement nominee.

Tonight, the houseguests found out how much they won in the Pandora's Box non-luxury competition. They were called separately into the diary room and told their totals. Jeff won $3181, Jordan $1726, Natalie $1900, Michele $2563, and Kevin $626. They said that Kevin would have won more if he'd been unlocked sooner. No mention of any additional prize or benefit from Jeff having that key. I think it was simply to unlock Kevin, but various bloggers and tweeters have speculated everything from a car to a 'black power of veto' to a 'platinum power of veto'. The last two having something to do with Jeff being able to take himself off the block and force Kevin to put up Natalie.

At this point, however, it was simply a handcuff key. I suppose that we will find out for sure on Tuesday's show. At least that's what we've been told ... but then last Thursday they told us that we'd find out on Sunday. Anyway, what we WILL see on Tuesday will be the Power of Veto competition, which was the midnight Morphomatic, the scheming and game talk and then the PoV meeting. I'm looking forward to seeing at least the PoV competition.

So barring an unforseen manipulation, it looks like Chima's dream of an all girl F4 (she included Kevin, so I will, too) in Big Brother 11 will come to pass. Not to say that Jeff is not working it to stay. I'm just not sure which way Natalie is blowing. She's either playing Jeff or she's playing Kevin. She lies so well, I don't know who she's not lying to. She's promised Jeff that she'll vote for him to stay if he and Michele throw HoH to her, but she's promised Kevin that she'd vote Jeff out. What do you think she'll do? How do you see this playing out? Comment below.
