Operation Backdoor Libra
Last night saw the beginnings of a plan that many Big Brother fans have been wanting to see. Talk began of Libra being put up and voted out.
I tend to think the talk started because of the way Libra behaved during and after the POV competition yesterday. At some point during the competition, Keesha and Libra both had a chance at a slop pass. But whoever took the slop pass would not have had the chance at the veto. Keesha told Libra to take the slop pass. Libra took that to mean that Keesha really wanted to win the POV so that she could remove Steven from the block. Keesha says that all she meant by it was that she knew Libra has a hard time being on slop so she thought Libra would want it.
When the feeds came on after the POV competition yesterday, Keesha was upset and crying in the sauna room. Jessie went to comfort her and Keesha told him that she truly wanted Libra to have the slop pass just so she could eat regular food. Keesha was hurt that Libra didn't believe that and Keesha maintained that she wouldn't have removed anybody from the block because she was on "their side." We all know that Keesha has had some ups and downs with April (Libra's best buddy) and we also know that Libra has questioned Keesha's loyalty for awhile.
Anyway, this got ol' Jerry all fired up. Jerry became vocal to several of his fellow housemates about Libra and her thinking that she runs the house, how she acts like a bitch, etc. I don't recall who exactly brought the plan to backdoor Libra to Jessie's attention but he did discuss it with Keesha early in the evening with Memphis present. Or rather, it was more a tossing around of ideas concerning what if Michelle used the POV. Their alibi to use to Libra when Keesha wanted to know what they were talking about? They were going to say that if the POV was used Jessie would put up Renny and they could get rid of her.
Well sure enough, when Keesha left Libra wanted to know what they were talking about. Keesha told Libra and April of this plan to put up Renny. Libra wasn't too thrilled to hear about this because she really wants Steven gone this week and doesn't view Renny as a threat at all. Libra also didn't seem to really believe that's all that they talked about so she stuck herself up Keesha's ass for pretty much the rest of the night.
So pretty much everybody last night was at one point talking about Libra going up on the block except for Ollie, April, and of course Libra. Michelle (the most important person at this moment because she's the POV winner) found out about people wanting her to use her veto power and spent her time bouncing around with everybody. She also managed to spill enough bits and pieces to Libra but not enough for Libra to realize it was her people wanted out. Libra still got the bad vibe from Michelle and enough for her to tell April, Keesha, and Renny not to believe a word that Michelle says.
Libra's status in the house as of early this morning is a sure one. It was ultimately decided by Memphis, Jessie, and Michelle (a very tight alliance of three) that they would hold off on getting Libra out and instead stay the course and continue with getting rid of Steven. Angie is still a part of the alliance between Memphis, Jessie, and Michelle but is on the outside of it. All three of them are trying to hold on to Angie for numbers' sake but she'll be cannibalized first by their group when it comes down to it.
The best thing that happened last night was seeing how many people are beginning to truly not like Libra. Most realize they need to do something about her fairly soon if they're able to. Steven has seemed to find the fight in him to stay in the house without managing to campaign against Dan.
Don't expect the discussions with Michelle about using her POV to slow down any this weekend. And I expect Libra to get wind of how people are wanting to put her up on the block instead of Renny. When that happens, there will be explosions galore. How Libra handles the news might play a huge part in what Michelle decides to do.
I'm crossing my fingers.
