'Big Brother 10': Dan calls the shots
The first couple of minutes are a recap of Sunday's episode. (Yawn.) Then we get down to business.
The back-stabbing starts immediately. Dan says that he intends to go back on his word if Ollie chooses to save Jerry from eviction. (Dan had previously agreed to save Michelle from eviction.) Keesha tells Dan that she doesn't think things will work out the way he wants. Keesha and Renny later realize that Ollie and Michelle have had an alliance.
Meanwhile Michelle, Jerry and Ollie are meeting in private and discussing strategy. Jerry says he doesn't trust Dan.
It's time for America's vote. The public gets the opportunity to chose a gift for the housemates. This time, America chooses someone from the house to get a phone call from home. Keesha and Michelle get very emotional at the thought of connecting with their families. Renny and Jerry comfort Michelle separately. Jerry cries privately in a confessional. He shares that his wife has Parkinson's disease.
The camera cuts to a ringing phone in the living room. Michelle answers the phone and finds out that Jerry's family is on the other end. Jerry talks to his great-grandson, and then to his wife. Michelle starts to cry because she says that she's missing her family. (She's so self-absorbed.)
After Jerry wraps up his conversation, he yells a thanks to America for voting for him.
The emotion is quickly replaced with strategy in Dan's Head of Household room. Memphis, Dan, and Keesha talk about getting rid of Michelle. Dan says he's going to go back on his agreement with Ollie because Michelle is such a strong competitor.
Next is the power of veto competition. Ollie is the only player not selected to play. (Dan, Memphis, and Jerry picked contestant's names out of a hat to see who would participate.) Ollie and Dan talk in Dan's room. Ollie reminds Dan of their agreement, which will allow him to tell Dan who to choose as a replacement if someone uses the power of veto.
The contestants walk into the backyard of the house, which has been transformed into another planet's surface. All of the contestants are dressed as astronauts. Michelle, Dan and Keesha are in the first heat of the game, One Giant Leap. The game requires the contestants to complete a fairly large puzzle. One catch: They have to jump from one ledge to another while being supported by ropes. Keesha wins the first heat. Memphis beats Jerry and Renny to win the second heat.
Memphis and Keesha square off in the finals. The cameras cut to Ollie in a confessional. He is salivating over the fact that he anticipates being able to call the shots if either competitor uses the power of veto.
Memphis wins the competition and the power of veto. He and Dan rejoice in the privacy of Dan's room. Memphis refers to Michelle as a derogatory term. Dan later tells Keesha and Renny that he is going back on his word with Ollie, and he's going to nominate Michelle instead of Keesha or Renny.
Dan then calls Ollie into his room for a private conversation. Ollie says he wants Keesha to be put up for eviction if Memphis takes himself off the chopping block. The oh-so-shady Dan nods in agreement.
Dan decides to play a game during the power of veto ceremony. He asks all of the contestants to publicly name another contestant to leave the house. He wants everyone to turn on one another during the power of veto ceremony. Renny is hesitant to be part of Dan's plan.
"If this all works, I'm going to see fireworks in the air and I'll be watching from my HOH room," Dan says during a confessional.
Memphis uses the power of veto on himself.
Dan immediately announces that all of the contestants are going to play "Replacement Nominee Roulette." He gets them to play by telling them to participate in the game or risk an automatic trip to the chopping block. All the contestants participate. Dan then chooses Michelle for eviction.
Ollie is shown throwing around items in disgust.
