Michelle: "I Feel Like Bacon Love"
Michelle begins the morning talking about the recent Food Comp
and how the other HGs knew she would scarf down the pigs' ears with
no problem. "I eat those things all the time," she says.
"I love pigs' feet, pigs' ears, the whole pig. I'm a
Portuguese princess - all the Portuguese love pigs."
 Here she is this morning, happy as a
Portuguese pig in a poke with her spicy sausage shake.
By the way, which nationalities thrive on rabbit? If any of
them ever get in the house, that's the season the Bunny takes a
vacation.
Michelle expresses concern that her team's grocery win put Jerry
on slop again. He has been on the stuff for most of the game
and is beginning to suffer from the effects.
 Other than that, she's in good spirits
today, having made a successful transition out of the arms of
April and into the lap of Renny.
Renny has begun to sense that her ally Keesha has
formed a strong alliance with Memphis, so she is looking at other
options for herself. She hints to Michelle that the two of
them could work together.
She is right about Memphis; however, he has also formed a
secret alliance with Michelle, as well as with Dan. And if he
keeps smiling like this, he'll soon have one with me.
 I might have to work around the
stupid-looking backwards baseball cap and the Vee Tee, but I've
handled worse.
We get to see lots more of this today:
As well as another episode of "Danny Bee" when the insect he's
been pining for fakes another drowning to get his attention.
 He rushes to her aid, but as soon as he gets
there, she flies off, obviously playing hard to get with the age-old
"bee's tease".
 But diligent Dan knows that
she'll return eventually, so he coats himself in honey and
builds a home for her in his hair, complete with a "Hive Sweet Hive"
sign and sunshield to protect her fair yellow stripes from
scorching.
Watching Dan's romance unfold, Jerry hungers for an insect of his
own. Not so much to love and cherish, but more to
chew.
 He's starving for anything at all that
doesn't look like slop, so he scans the sky for beetles and
fireflies, scoops them in his hands, and before you know
it he has enough to make a tasty meal.
 Later, Dan gives up on the bee coming back and
turns to trying to attract the fish in the tank instead.
Some of you may scoff, but remember, Dan is a biologist - he
knows better than anyone how the laws of animal attraction work.
Sadly, he strikes out again, since the fish all have their
eyes set on Renny.
So he retreats to the Storage Room, hoping there might be an ant
or two who might be willing to share their love.
While there, Jerry approaches him about using the Veto.
 Dan says he doesn't know what he's going to do
yet, but he does promise to rescue Jerry should he get food
poisoning from that last nasty gnat he ate.
April also wants Dan to use the Veto, but on her instead of
Jerry, and she offers him $5000 to take her off the block.
Rescue Dan turns her down, insulted that anyone would think he'd
accept cash payment for a resuscitation.
Mortified, April ends our day with more of this:
 But this time with rhinestone
accents.
Hoppy trails,

Bug Hugs
Today the POV Ceremony is held, and Dan opts not to use the
Veto. April, assuming she will be evicted this week, tells
Ollie she will leave him one of her bras as a souvenir. Ollie
is excited to hear it, not because he'll have something of April's
to remember her by, but because he can use it as a slingshot to
shoot crows.
"I know that the crowd will love me when I exit the
house," April says. "They will really cheer when they see
me."
I'm thinking they'll break out into a chorus of "Who let the dogs
out?" but what do I know?
While April and Ollie discuss exit scenarios, Dan is still on the
prowl for a love bug.
 Giving up on all attempts to attract
one naturally, he finally opts for entrapment, knowing how well it
worked for the Phantom of the Opera - AND Jamie Spears.
And work it does, as the praying mantis he catches rolls over on
its back faster than you can say "Ten dollar ho."

Quid Pro "Crow"
Keesha and Renny start the day with strategy talk in the HOH
room. They are starting to believe that Memphis and Michelle
are in an alliance and need to be broken up. Renny wants
Memphis to go home next; Keesha wants to target Michelle.
Meanwhile, it turns out that Ollie has good reason to be afraid
of crows. They don't like him, and they let him know it when
they send their leader to fly over Ollie and deliver a
message. Splat!
Ollie obviously forgot that age-old saying from
Confucious: He who talk crap about crow get crapped
on.
April spends the day crying and talking smack about the other HGs
to Ollie. Ollie does break away from her long enough to show
everyone what he's learned in Swim Club. He's now up to
pool-length swims and cannonballs off the side of the pool.
All are impressed.
 All except the crows, of course, who are waiting
for just the right moment to use the string from their nests to form
a net, which they'll use to haul Ollie out of the water and dangle
him over the city of Los Angeles. Crows dig that stuff.
To them, it's super funny.
Later, the HGs try to come up with some games to pass time.
They play Musical Chairs in the kitchen, a word game in the living
room, and Hide-n-Seek in the backyard. Imagine their surprise
when Jerry opens the Jack Shack to take cover .....
......and out pops our old friend Howie, complete with margaritas
and a party hat.
April refuses to play any games, preferring to sulk about the
upcoming eviction.
 Apparently, her Lance Amstrong "Live
Strong" bracelet isn't working as advertised.
She and Ollie devise a plan to try and turn the house against
Jerry. They already have a head start because Jerry has been
farting a lot and no one likes it. (He blames it on the crows,
but no one's buying it.) April wants Ollie to call it to
everyone's attention that Jerry plans to nominate Memphis if he wins
the next HOH.
Ollie promises to do it, but only if she'll get in the pool with
him this time while he practices his swimming.
 He's well aware of the crows and their
net party gag and he wants protection.
Dan tells Ollie that he has nothing to be afraid of. He
will rescue him from the flying predators. Most people
don't know it, but Catholics have mad shooting skills.
 It all started with James Bond, who was
converted to Catholicism by Miss Moneypenny. He never went to
mass without his Beretta 418, and other Catholics followed
suit. It was cool then, and it's cool now.
But knowing that his range is limited to the vicinity of the
house, Dan asks BB to put up posters all over town in order to
target the Crow Gang's ringleaders.
The very ones who escaped with the Birdman from Alcatraz, where
they were serving time after Tippi Hedrin fingered them as the
ones behind the plot to take out her eyes.
All true.
Hoppy trails,

April Unleashed
April is evicted tonight by a vote of 4 to 1, the lone vote being
from her lover Ollie, who waved goodbye as the caboose he
cherished chugged down the track. I can't be sure, but I
may have overheard him singing a love song to her as she
exited. It sounded like a verse from "Me and You and a Dog
Named Boo" but different.
Something like:
Me and you and the doggie screw
Making love to man's best friend
Me loving you from the backside view
We will be together in the end
Okay, enough of that. I promise.
Hoppy tails, April,

Crossing Ollie, Hood, & Vine
After April's eviction last night, the HGs headed to the backyard
for the HOH competition, which involved hanging on vines in
simulated rain while periodically being slammed into a padded
wall.
Jerry was the first one to fall off, followed by Keesha, then
Michelle, and finally Memphis, leaving Dan and Ollie to fight for
the prize.
None of the others thought it was fair that BB allowed Dan to
wear a hooded rain jacket, and felt like it was a big factor in his
ability to last in the competition. In the end, he made a
crazy deal with Ollie in order to secure the win.
Dan: I'll let you pick one nominee if you let me
have this.
Ollie: Okay, sounds good.
Dan: And you can keep one person safe.
Ollie: Even better.
Dan: And if the POV is used, you get to choose the
replacement nominee. Basically, you're going to be
HOH. I'll even throw in the raincoat.
Ollie: Hood attachment, too?
Dan: You got it.
Ollie: Sweet. I'll take the deal.
Ollie then dropped to the ground, giving the gold to Dan (a.k.a.
Rumpelstiltskin).
After everyone dried off and warmed up, Ollie clued in Michelle
on the agreement he made with Dan. He will choose Memphis as
his nominee and will keep Michelle safe.
Today Ollie tells Dan that he would like to add another
part to the deal: a waltz to one verse of "Danny Boy".
 Dan happily obliges, but only if
he can lead.
In the afternoon, Dan summons Renny and Keesha to the HOH room to
form a pact that the three of them will take each other to the
end. "We need to keep Memphis as the fourth person in our
alliance to give us the numbers we need to get further in the game,"
says Dan, but Renny wants to keep Jerry instead. She agrees to
work with Memphis until there are five people left, then she wants
him gone.
Dan wants a name for the new alliance. He already has a
side alliance with Memphis called "The Renegades" but he's been into
naming things since way back and one name isn't enough. Renny
suggests "The Tenacious Trio" and Dan signs off on it, knowing that
if he wins the game, people will probably refer to him as
"Tenacious D".
And even though the name's taken...
.....he figures he can steal it away using the same techniques
that worked on Ollie. Especially with the guy on the right,
who will look at swinging from a vine like a monkey as simply "Party
Time!"
Later, Dan keeps his word to Ollie and nominates Memphis, along
with Jerry. Dan explains the deal he made with Ollie to
Memphis, but assures him that he'll be safe when it comes time for
the vote. Memphis, as a Renegade, is perplexed as to why the
other guy in his two-guy alliance would put him on the block.
Unfortunately, it's just a simple lack of vocabulary skills on
Memphis' part. Had he brought in a dictionary as his luxury
item instead of his prized plaid shorts, he would find that another
word for "renegade" is "traitor".
In other words: Judas.
Yeah, we're back to that again.
Hoppy trails,

The Name of the Game
Players are picked this morning for the POV competition.
Everyone will play except Ollie.
He's upset about not being able to play, and approaches Dan for
consolation, asking for "just one more dance."
 Dan agrees to a quick two-step, hoping that two
dances together might lead to some sort of alliance he can name.
After their whirl around the HOH room, Dan tells Ollie that
his need for an intimate Tango might be a sign of depression - that
he's feeling alone because April's gone, and that he
should find other ways of coping with the loss.
Ollie knows it's true, and heads to the '50s room - the one place
he seems to find comfort.
(I know, I know.....I promised.)
Memphis wins the POV, and after the competition, Ollie tells Dan
that he wants Keesha to be the replacement nominee when Memphis
takes himself off the block.
Dan gathers his Renegades and his Tenacious Trio in the HOH room
to tell them he won't be keeping the third part of his deal with
Ollie. "I'm going to nominate Michelle," he says.
He later mulls over his decision to break his word to Ollie (and
thus giving up any chance of a "High-Stepper Lepers" alliance), but
decides he needs to keep Keesha safe.
After dinner, the HGs are told that one of them will win a phone
call from home, voted on by the viewers. Michelle is convinced
she will win. "America will vote for me because they feel
sorry for me since I had to wear the red unitard for a week."
She's half right. A lot of America did vote for her,
especially those who truly know the pain of wearing a leotard:
trapeze artists, ballet dancers, Batman.
But you'll notice that none of them has ever - EVER!
- stooped to wearing open-toed gold metallic stilettos
with crisscrossed vampy straps and row upon
row of gaudy rhinestones as a part of their leotard
ensemble.
Sure Robin came close once, but that was only after a few
drinks with Alfred in the Bat Cave.
 So, unfortunately, my dear
Michelle, that's where you clearly lost the vote.
But you're not alone - many have paid the price for poor shoe
style choices.
So Jerry wins the phone call, and the HGs conclude that he must
be popular with America. This makes Dan wonder if he should
form an alliance with Jerry, but in the end decides against it
because he can't think of a decent name.
Instead, he just goes with renaming himself "Ken".
Hoppy trails,
Thanks to Debra, MyTwoCents, Kealoha, Jumanji, Seamonkey,
LuvBBPlayers, Steviegirl, and Estfan for the photos.
This will be the Bunny's last season to write for "Big
Brother". Thank you to all the Carrotheads who have supported
