'Big Brother 10': Steven says so long

Patrick Gutierrez's wife and fellow BB10 fan, Sacha, recaps the show for us:

Once again, it is eviction night, with the live audience adding excitement to the show. Dan and Steven are sitting in the dreaded green armchairs. They had very different strategies for staying in the house: Dan laid low and continued to play weak while Steven campaigned aggressively, making promises of loyalty. Keesha tried hard not to appear to be campaigning for Steven, however, at every opportunity, she pointed out a reason to keep him.

Lines of division have started to form in the ABC's. Jessie, Michelle, Angie and Memphis are on one side against Libra, April, Ollie and Keesha. Jerry, Renny, Dan and Steven are the floaters.

During the question and answer session, Julie stirred the pot, asking Jerry if he felt respected and Libra if age mattered. In typical Jerry fashion, he gave a long-winded "yes."

 

Renny and Jessie's families were interviewed and given the opportunity to defend their loved ones' behavior in the house. Renny's family agreed she's always been an entertainer. Jessie's dad said his son was a runt growing up, and his mom said he's a good guy.

During the HOH interview, Julie asked Jessie to explain why he thinks the house views him as all body and no brains. He replied because he was the youngest in the house, and that is the typical stereotype. When asked about his weakness, his answer was Michelle and acting mature by not putting up Renny.

At the end of his last chance speech, Steven surprised everyone, Julie included, when he told the house to, well, do something not very nice. Anyone surprised he was voted out 9-0?

The HOH competition was a game of memory. The house guests were told aliens stole various items from different rooms in the house. Two players went head to head. Julie named a missing item ,and the players had to buzz in to name the room from which the item was taken. The winner then picked the next two contestants while the loser was eliminated.

The game continued until only Keesha and Libra were left. Libra answered incorrectly and started to walk away before turning around and giving the new HOH, Keesha, a hug.

Thoughts: Keesha has made it clear that she can't stand April or Libra but remains in their alliance. I wonder what she's going to do with the power. Dan's strategy of playing the weak link appears to be working for him. Memphis and Angie are starting to get close, so there might be three show-mances this season.
