Memphis oh Memphis, won't you come to New Orleans?
Memphis won't you come to see the Colonel and the Queen?
Memphis oh Memphis, won't you come to New Orleans?
Memphis won't you come to see the Colonel? Try a little butter on Queen?
Pop goes the bubble. Will the bubble go pop? There are a lot of different bubbles, stresses, situations and scenarios bubbling and brewing in the Big Brother 10 house. Which one will come to a head first? Which one will boil over? Which one will go pop? Will it be the love bubble? Will it be the stuck on slop bubble? Will it be one of the bubbles of irritation rising between people, and to the top? Will it be the one bubbling inside Renny's mind about Memphis for over 24 hours now? Just one line. Just one look. That's all it took from Memphis. Just one line. Just a few words, is all it might take to settle her nerves, and the situation. But I sometimes wonder if Keesha's either too dumb to realize that, or too shallow to care. All I know is that the Memphis bubble's about ready to bust. And Memphis has no idea.
"Nineteen-to twenty-one days I've been on slop." Jerry announces on Showtime. It's Big Brother After Dark and 1:45 am. Wednesday morning, August 20th, and Jerry's about to provide some impromptu couple's counseling for the often cuddling, now somewhat squabbling, April and Ollie. He's also been trying to butter up Big Brother production. Ollie wants out of the slop-only-bubble. Jerry says, "We're talking to Big Brother about taking Ollie and I off of slop. "Special discompensation." Well I for one think Jerry's earned it. But I doubt he'll get any special breaks today, or any other day from Big Brother.
"They ain't going give you any special discompensation." Renny tells Jerry.
Seems there may be trouble on the horizon. There may not be a paradise, or a happily ever after for Ollie with April. I'm fairly sure he won't play a major part in her long term plans. Jerry shares a room, and space with the couple. Not surprisingly he overheard some Ollie/April conversation. It's hard to hide from the cameras, even under the covers. Besides they weren't hiding this. "You were talking about getting an apartment." He half asks/tells April.
"We think it's a good idea for him to get a one room apartment." She says.
Ollie corrects her. Says, "No. No we don't. WE don't think that. SHE thinks that. I think we should live together."
"Right!" She laughs, a rather ugly, sarcastic laugh. Looks incredulous, like Pffft! and makes a horrible face.
"Why get a one bedroom, when we're already together?" Ollie asks. He thinks of them as a couple in love already living together. He wants to move to Arizona where April lives. He doesn't understand why he should get an apartment. He said we already live together.
April's face is tense, and buttoned down tight. April has her career. April has her life.
"Right! Ollie, Yes." She says in that same incredulous, pissed off way. She's fluttering her eyes and pursing her lips. She looks pissed. On her pissed looks natural. Like pissed is her normal, natural state of being. "But we're forced to live together." April tries to correct.
"The thing is Jerry.....
