'Big Brother 10': for the record, and for the food

Patrick Gutierrez is back with another Big Brother 10 recap:

With Steven out of the house, the Anti-Brian Crew (ABCs) alliance remained intact, although Keesha was obviously sad to see him go. In the diary room after winning head of household, Keesha was promising to "turn the house upside down" with her nominations, while Dan continued to brag about throwing competitions to make himself look weak.

Keesha's roommates were empathetic when she was explaining why she liked Steven. Libra reacted strangely when Keesha said she didn't know whom to put up. Her alliance wants her to keep targeting the others, but Keesha seems out for revenge.

Everyone came to see Keesha's HOH room, including the picture of her adorable dog, Gizmo. Renny stuck around as Keesha read the letter from her family. Those two seemed to be getting close over the last few days and had a good discussion about Libra's treacherous ways before April showed up, causing Renny to leave. Keesha told April she wasn't going to do what the house wants. Later, with most of her alliance in the room, Keesha revealed she was targeting Angie. Memphis tried to talk her out of it to protect his mini-alliance, but Keesha wasn't listening. After promising to keep the conversation to himself, Memphis went right out and told Angie, Jessie and Michelle what Keesha was planning. The group decided to have Jessie try and talk her into nominating Libra.

The food competition had a sock hop theme. The house competed as one team. There were two giant, spinning records out of sight from each other. In the middle of each was a basket of decorative socks. Players were paired up and told to each get on a record. The goal was to match a pair of socks and place them on the board under different food items. Since you couldn't see each other, you had to talk your partner through what kind of sock you wanted to get. Some pairs played it smart, with one person calling out a sock and the other person looking for it in their basket, while other pairs, like Renny and Dan, talked over each other, wasting valuable time. The house finally told them to hang any sock just to get them out of there.

In the end, the house made out with some pretty decent eats for the week, including Michelle's favorite, "pigs feet."

With the nomination ceremony looming, Keesha huddled with April to discuss options. They agreed on Angie and then April suggested Memphis as the pawn, seeing as how he already won the car. But Jessie came up afterward and made a strong case for getting Libra out because most of the house dislikes her.

At the ceremony, Keesha stayed true to her gut, nominating Angie for getting her into trouble with the house in Week 1 when she tried to get her to keep Brian. She also nominated Jessie, saying he was a huge threat in the game and later confiding in the diary room that she can't stand his arrogance.

Thoughts: April said she loved the '60s, referring to the poodle skirts the girls had to wear for the food competition. Umm, wasn't that the '50s?

If Keesha wanted to knock off a member of her alliance, such as Jessie, she should've back-doored him. Now he has a chance to win the veto and stick around.

This might be the end of the ABCs. They look like they are ready to turn on each other.

I agree, maybe she should have put up Michelle instead of Jessie and then back doored him if one of the other two won power of veto. But I guess even if Jessie or Angie gets out of it she can still put up Michelle. I hope somehow Jessie goes. Like I said before, he's a TOOL! I suppose if I had that body I'd be a TOOL too!
