Big Brother: Jerry Played A Tough Game, But Not Tough Enough
Spoiler Free Commentary by Mike Shields
September 12, 2008
I don't want to get old, to the point where I'm totally deluded into believing everything I hear, and that I get a feeling of total control. You gotta love Jerry for getting as far as he did. The Renegade Alliance has made it to the final two, and here's why.
To recap, when it comes time to the final four, the veto competition is almost more important than who wins HoH. Dan as HoH guaranteed he'd make the final three, however, it is ultimately the winner of the veto competition that chooses who goes home. And as a few times in the past, The Ten Steps to Veto became the most important competition thus far. You're given two clues to the name of an evicted houseguest, and you have to solve that clue before you go onto the next one. Whomever gets to the top first, wins the veto.
Previously, Dan had nominated Memphis and Jerry, keeping the Renegade Alliance a secret yet to be revealed. This gave Keesha a false sense of security, and may have ultimately cost her the game. I don't think she was playing that hard during the veto competition, as she thought her alliance with The Renegades would get her to the final three. Dan let Memphis win, as this was part of their plan. I guess ultimately they wanted to take Jerry and get Keesha evicted, and she figured this out right before the veto meeting. She was none too happy with Memphis, who evicted her after he took himself off the block. Memphis' speech here should've been, “I vote to take second place in the game, and send Keesha to the jury house.” She had made it quite clear that Memphis would not be getting her vote.
On the way out of the house, Dan whispered something to her, which was, “I took Michelle to the island.” So that everybody could hear, he said, “Finish it.” Dan wants Keesha to be his advocate in the jury house, and this may be what she unwittingly becomes.
The Final Three competition comes.....
