Big Brother: Really Fast Forward!
Spoiler Free Commentary by Mike Shields
August 30, 2008
Well, I was unable to give my spoiler free commentary on Tuesday's
airing of Big Brother due to previous commitments. What this means is
we've got a lot to cover and commentate on today, so, let's get started.
Tuesday's veto competition was a puzzle race in two heats. Keesha won
the first, and Memphis won the second. So, already we have a great setup
for Dan's eventual giving over of the replacement nominee to Ollie. If I
were Memphis here, I would've thrown the competition, simply because he
knew that Keesha would remove him from the block, and it would've been
an easier way to break up the Renny/Ollie couplet.
But as we all know, the best laid plans of mice and men, etc. and
Memphis won. Ollie knew he'd use the veto on himself, so, he immediately
went to Dan and said, I want you to put up Keesha. Of course, not before
Dan and Memphis had a mini celebration in the HoH room. Dan replied to
Ollie with the same throw away “ok” he gave in the pool, when he stated
he'd save Jesse. Remember back then? It seems like so long ago. Ollie
should've figured something was up.
When it came time to put up a replacement nominee, Dan asked the other
contestants to play, “Replacement Nominee Roulette!!” Not exactly what
Ollie had in mind, and he didn't even realize he was about to be
blind-sided. He asked the four that were left, to name who they wanted
to go up in Memphis' place. Michelle went first, and said Keesha. Ollie
went next, and gave Renny's name. Keesha in turn said Michelle, and
finally Renny returned Ollie's favor, and named him.
Dan then gave a speech about how putting your fate in someone else's
hands is not a good way to play the game, and that Ollie gambled and
lost, and he put Michelle up for eviction. And thinking quickly, he
walked away. Jerry adapted his say nothing strategy for the second time,
which again worked brilliantly....
Michelle of course went ballistic in the diary room. Then she went off
to cry in her pillow. I'm guessing she kind of sensed the end was near,
as this was The Renegades plan all along, to evict Michelle. That's why
Dan created Replacement Nominee Roulette in the first place. He
manipulated the whole thing, causing Ollie and Michelle to come up with
the unique conspiracy theory that he's a plant in the game, e.g.
“America's Player.” While Dan was indeed our guy for a week, he is
currently no longer in that situation, in case you've tuned in late.
Remember the most obvious solution is most always the right one, and in
this case, Dan had a plan for the entire week, which played out the way
he wanted it to.
Michelle got evicted by.....
