i would like to thank you for all your work on this site as i have followed it for many years absolutely love it. hope every thing works out for you with the hurrican in it gets down graded to a tropical supression instead of the hurrican will be thinking of you in the next few hours and days keep safe

From HD - Thanks candycat. Especially think of me tomorrow about midnight Central time and on. That'll be the test if Ike's path stays the same.

Ahhh, what a successful season. Made me think back to the days of Dr. Will. Its been many long seasons things failed to go my way. I'm glad your safe HD. Your blogs are as important as the actual show! (Sometimes even better!) Be Safe and rest peacefully in your tub! Thanks for an amazing season of your bloggyness.

HD--sure missed your blogging tonight, but I'm sure hoping all will go well for you.

I love it that Dan and Memphis are the F2. First time in a long time that I've actually liked the final 2 people!

You did miss one thing--they showed Jerry in his tighty-whities!! Too funny!

Take care of yourself.

From HD - I feel so sorry for all of those poor souls who had to see his tighty whities tonight. LMAO!

Hi
Thanks so much for all the work you do for us I really enjoy reading your page every day!! So sorry about all your wind troubles hope all goes well for you HD and your peps.
Really happy for Dan but worried about those nasty voters! Mabe they will come to there sences and vote Dan the winner of BB10 as he should be for he is one of the greatest players of all time.

HD, I loved the show. For the first time in many seasons, the final 2 are people who we were routing for. The only thing I missed was Dan pulling out the red bandana before he voted Jerry out like he said he would. Oh well. Can't have everything we want.

I am voting for Renny. Beside the final 2, she was my favorite.

I am rooting for Dan to win and think he has a very good chance. My guess is he wins 5-2 and here is the breakdown:

Dan - Libra, Ollie, April, Keesha, Renny

Memphis - Jerry and Michelle

Good luck through Ike. My prayers are with you. Hope you stay safe.

and speaking of will, some are saying in chat rooms that he died in a plane crash today. anyone else hear that??

anyway, about tonights show. i will be happy with either winning. dan has been the mastermind with the plan but memphis has been the henchman. dan's plan would not have gotten him this far without memphis!! so dan thru a pov, memphis thru an hoh. they turned out to be an unbeatable team!!

as far as the voting for america's fav, haven't voted yet but so many in the chat's are voting for keesha because she needs it more!! i thought that we were supposed to vote for our favorite not who needs it most!! maybe that should be a seperate vote!!

gotta stay out of the chat rooms!! they let just anyone in i guess!! LOL!!

stay safe hamsterdame!!! thoughts and prayers are with you!! and all of those in ikes path!

From HD - Will is alive. He's not dead.

First off, good luck in the coming day HD. your in our prayers. i would also like to thank you for all you do here. i look forward every day to coming to your site to read up and comment....venting often!
i am thrilled with the outcome tonight. i hope memphis takes the grand prize but i will be happy with second for him.
by the looks of the jury house dan doesn't seem to have first locked just yet. having jerry come in and do some chatting may help give him a few more...who knows.
wow, april and michelle are still so bitter! april especially. i can not get over how immature she is. she and michelle just had the nastiest faces of smugness on when keesha walked in. it's a game...get over it already!!!
some folks on the feeds have been saying they are going to vote for keesha to win the money just to tick april off more. i think april will have enough to deal with for herself when she gets out....i hope she gets some mental help cause she is one sick little ho bag!!
looked to me like michelle wasn't too impressed with dans little invite. that's good for memphis. it also looked like keesha's light bulb just went off while she watched the video.. that her little saint dan may not be so saint-like after all.
interesting that she felt that he played a good game being sneaky but memphis is still on her shit list. i don't get it but then again...it is keesha...go figure. she "isn't stupid ya know!!!"

Wanted to say Hi from Key West where hurricanes are just a fact of life. I'm afraid that other then the anxiety you're going through they are mostly just boring and tedious. The hard part comes afterwards... no power or water... and the clean up. The good news is you are going to find out that you have some wonderful neighbors and friends. At least that's the norm for here.

Also, a big thank you. I've been reading your blog for years and it's given me so much pleasure. You'll be in my prayers tonight...

Oh no not the bath tub I live there during tornando season here in Indian. I'll be thinking of you HD.
I wasn't able to watch tongiht but I have read what everyone is writing. And hopfully Michella and Keesha will be able to sway the vote and have them all vote for Memphis. Like I said I missed the show so did Jerry see all the Happniss after he was evecited?? I really have enjoyed watching Dan play them all for a fool and we will all have to see what happens on Tuesday.

Who knows how it will paly out. But will the Jury be able to ask questions to Dan and Memphis? Like they did last season?? That might play a HUGE factor in how they all Vote.

BE SAFE HD. I'll be thinking of you.

crtny

Hey HD, you take Care! Ike seems like a rather nasty guy!

Did the hap-hap-happy dance when Dan won HOH. Did a misstep at one point seeing Julie interviewing Jerry and they still portrayed him as such a nice guy. Blechhhh!!!

Was tickled that April came off as such a jealous nasty thing. Hopefully she won't get votes for even one thin dime.

Can't decide between Keesha and Renny, so will probably split my votes.

So thrilled that I like both the guys that are in the F2, but still want Dan to take the big prize. He has just played the better game IMHO. And you bet they should be dancing and acting cocky. They are the final 2 - that's huge!!!

What a joy tonight's show was. Like so many others, I too have finally seen 2 people go to the end that I was actually rooting for. From some earlier conversations between Dan and Memphis, it was clear that CBS did their best to break up this twosome. Big Brother clearly wanted Jerry to go to the end (I suppose so he could be the oldest reality show winner), but the Renegades would not give in to Diary Room suggestions. Good for you guys! I am counting on Dan to be the big winner because I think his responses to the Jury questions will be more convincing and more intelligent than what Memphis is cabable of saying. No offence intended, but Dan was clearly the best game player this season as well, winning 3 HOH COMPS!. Wait until Memphis sees all the competitions that Dan deliberately threw...especially the POV that allowed Memphis to evict Keesha. Won't he be surprised!?

For the 25 Thousand favorite...I say go RENY! She was entertaining for the houseguests and the fans and considering all the cooking and cleaning she did for them all, she should get some reward.

What a fantastic season...perfect ending would be DAN'S THE WINNER!

For favorite juror. Loved Renny but...

Vote for Keesha. If anything, just to see the look on April's face. April thinks she is America's sweetheart.

HamsterDame,

You have me worried beyond belief. I understand your reticence to join the frenzied rush out of town, and out of harms way. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Honoring your request, I will try to focus on the BB house and the show tonight.

One thing I saw tonight, which you too will see when you finally get to see the show, was Dan acting incredulous when he was told he got the second question wrong. He seemed to think he had answered the question correctly and kept looking at the screen and Mrs. Chen while gesturing toward his podium, as if to say "Hey I know I got that right, look at my answer!" He must have gotten confused and mixed up his alpha from his beta. I found it a bit arrogant, but then you all know how I feel about Mr. Wax On Wax Off.

I am glad he kept his word to Memphis, and that those in the house all seem to realize they had been played by Dan the whole time. It will be a close vote IMO and that makes the final show all that more exciting.

Seeing that tough old jarhead crying while he said that this was his last hoorah damn near had me choked up. When he came out of that house he soaked in that applause and shook about two dozen hands on his way to Julie. You would have thought he was John McCain coming to accept his nomination for the GOP, except that he could raise his flabby arms above his head and didn't blame his ouster on Obama.

It was a great show, and I am sorry you had to miss out.

Take care of you! I have faith that not even Ike can keep our beloved HamsterDame down for too long. We will see you back here live blogging the finale on Tuesday night I am sure.

HD first I pray for you with this hurricane coming. Thanks for all the hours you spend keeping us all up dated everyday of every season of BB. I can not believe how bitter april and michelle still are.

I thought Renny would have said something to april tonight when she said what she did just before Keesha came in to the jury house. I voted for Renny, Libra won a trip, April won the gold bars and gave Jerry 4 of them. So I would like to see Renny win the 25K. I really want to see Dan win because he has played the game way better then memphis.

Stay safe.

I'm voting for Keesha! I want Dan to win. Go Dan!

Hi HD ...As kososo5 pointed out, the "tighty whities" was sooo funny but the funnier part was he kept saying (about the complete failure in the comp) "I am so embarrassed...how embarrassing"....all the while he was stripping off his Boxing Shorts down to his Fruit of the Looms and humbly struting around in them...HILARIOUS!

I am happy as you are with the results and I need to get in there and vote for fav ...not quite sure who yet...hmmm...I know who I am NOT voting for! Lib-Ol-Ap

Now you get bunkered down there girlfriend and God's Speed to get through "Ike" unscathed! Don't you worry bout us for a while...let us worry bout you! And hear from you soon, my prayers are with you and yours for your safety...MaB

Well first of all HD, fingers crossed for you m'dear. Stay safe, damn it.

Second of all, and you had to know I'd be the first to chirp in about what Keesha said about Dan... But whoever told you what Keesha said to the other jury members about Dan must not have told you the whole story. Keesha also separately, with a big cheesy smile on her face upon realizing Dan's probable part in her eviction and the way he was playing her to get jury votes, said something like.. "that kid is good" and with mucho respect said he was playing the game brilliantly. I think he will still have her vote and I think she will still lobby on his behalf to the others just how much of a puppet master Dan has been in this game. Unfortunately the jury also heard him say "Finish it" to Keesha, which when coupled with his roulette extravaganza, is probably putting him in some jeopardy. I think he's going to wish he'd made it to the end with Keesha, who is about the only person he would have ever possibly won against.

Gosh it was good seeing Steven again on those Youtube vids.

xtex88 - go to jokesters site and check this afternoon's talk and you will see the info you are looking for.

I want Dan to win. I just don't see that Memphis deserves to win it. Although I would love to hear the reasons people think that he does.

Again, I think Dan's final trick should be to half admit to the jury that he was "forced" to be AP for a week, which screwed with his game plan, and left him under a cloud of suspicion he had to fight his way through. Of course he should leave out the part about the money. Or conversely, telling them about the money and offering to split it amongst whomever votes for him if he wins the $500K.

Please take care of yourself FIRST...HD....we will always be here waiting for you, and praying you are safe...the show tonight was SO AWESOME!!! and i loved seeing keesha, but i didn't feel she was doggin dan...she said..he is a smart player...which he is..i still think he will have her, rennie, michelle and i just hope that when they do talk about the "game" they will really reconsider their decisions and vote for dan....he is the best player EVER....yes, dr will is off the chart now, and memphis really hasn't had to do a thing...he rode thru...like i said earlier..i really think that the fish deserve second place...it can take care of their needs until next season...we saw just as much of them and they too played!!!!LMAO....stay safe HD...i'm watching the weather too....

I think CBS edits at JH as they do in the BB house. Don't think we have any clear picture of what jurors think and we saw what they wanted us to.
I think Dan will win this without a problem. He surely has played the best game and carried the other half of the Renegades, who up until very recently, did nothing at all.
Think it will be,
Dan/ Keesha, Libra, Renny, Michelle and maybe Jerry.
Memphis/ will only get the 'spite' votes, as all seven know Dan was the better player. Spite votes being April and Ollie, and maybe Jerry.
Keesha and Michelle may have been dogging Dan on the show tonight, but both said, 'he's playing the game!'. That counts big in my book. Also Michelle saying that 'backdooring her was the best move in the game', makes me appreciate the fact that she is thinking gameplay, not revenge.
I can't wait to see the look on Apwhores face when Renny wins Americas choice and I would bet my ovaries, Keesha comes in second! That should wrench her face up quite a bit huh?
As you can tell, I'm voting for Renny. For the humor she brought, not gameplay.
Ya know I'm so happy now, I could, well, I don't know, but I am happy. No one I have liked has come remotely close to winning in 6 years! I like these two guys and well, like I said I'm happy.
Got something over the top of you in the tub? A mattress or something to protect yourself from anything flying? Get it done!
Stay safe, dry and warm.

I'm voting for Keesha, she deserve it...plus I also want see Apriolli's and Michelle's face...it will be priceless!

Hi all. I hope this finds you all in good spirits. I don't get to see the show either, but for much different reasons. Still putting my life back together, its slow going and very painful but going none the less. My prayers are so there for you HD! I live in Ca. and we have earthquakes, but we don't get to prepare for those! Holding you in my thoughts till its over for you!!! A big thank you again, to all of you, for your kind words, prayers and thoughts. I missed the blog tonight as that's how I get my info, but am glad you all are chatty cathy's and tell as much as you can. I miss you all so much! Way to go danny boy! I hope you take it all, you earned it. ~My fellow posters, my best to you and yours, Grog~

Thank you so much for your web site, my daughter told me about it, and it makes BB much more interesting. My prayers for your safety. I think that it would have been more interesting if Memphis had been the one to evict Jerry, I think he expected it from Dan, although in the exit interview I thought maybe Jerry had figured the final 2 had some sort of deal. Jerry in his under pants was horrible.I tend to vote for Renny to get America's favorite. I liked the show tonight, did not think much of the behavior of April. I hope Dan wins as he did play a good game, although Memphis was pretty good also. I was glad to see they kept Jerry in the other room during the final competition. I also liked the fact that Julie asked Jerry about voting for game play or from feelings----a question Jerry did not really answer very well.

So glad Dan won...have been pulling for him for some time now (to my amazement) since I was prepared to dislike him from day one. He has played this game extremely well..Hope he has the votes to take it all..as far as voting for my favorite, I had planned to vote for Renny but changed my mind and am voting for Keesha..hope she wins just to make April's perpetual scowl shatter on national tv!!! Thanks again, HD, for all you do and stay safe!!

HD, I am voting for Keesha to win the 25k. It would please me much to see the look on April's face, as Michigan man said, if Keesha won. And I thought you HD, would like that too? I thought about voting for Renny, cuz I really enjoyed her. But I think she is financially set up and like simplycountry said, everyone else won something except Keesha or Renny, so Keesha it is. And besides, I feel I need to do this for BenF:).

I so know what you mean about news coverage and taking your mind off Ike. I do like to see the models when things have changed at all, but all day long nothing but news and updates and interviews saying the same thing over and over. I found a sight that was broadcasting a live feed of the TV show, so it was great to watch and take a bit of a break from the news (although the news was on and we just alternated what was muted (or paused). I was glad Dan won and felt pretty good about him choosing Memphis after a conversation they had earlier in the house today, but still a relief.

In regards to Keesha, I actually thought she behaved very well in the jury house especially in light of April talking trash about her a she walked in and everyone smugly saying it would be her. She openly says Dan played her, but mostly with great pride in how good of a player he was (and took great joy in wrecking Michelle's fun by saying she knew Dan took Michelle and understood why). She openly admitted Dan was hoping she would help him in the jury house and she sounded happy to do so (maybe she'll change her mind - but what they showed looked like she was handling the game play well.

April is another story. She seems to be the only major (seriously major) bitter person. Michelle is close. I want Keesha to win the money now just to thoroughly piss April off. I want April to know how much she must have been disliked if Keesha would win America's Choice. (I didn't like Keesha at times, but grew to like her a lot in the last few weeks - laugh and voice not counting). Renny would be my second choice. I just can't stand anyone else in the jury. I'm afraid Jerry will win because of the way he was edited by CBS and the TV viewer only. That would make me sick as he was so viciously disgusting. Keesha did play hard at times and made it as far as she did (and was a huge help in getting both Dan and Memphis to the point where they really started playing), so I think she deserves it game wise (3rd place) AND to make April mad as she is so jealous of Keesha.

Good luck tomorrow and Saturday! I'll keep reading as much as I can.

HD, just as I could never wait until Christmas morning to open my presents (I'd open them and rewrap them when no one else was around), my mind is racing fast and furious as to who your guest blogger will be. If it is not a fellow poster, my guess is that it is your old buddy Marcellas. Wouldn't that be a blast. :)

Drats, maybe you should make your way to "a little east of Houston in Harris County" and protect HD from that nasty hurricane. I am sure that a few acid-laced derogations from you, standing firm in the doorway of HD's home, looking much like Moses as he parted the Red Sea, would send that nasty old hurricane on it's way.

Hope Ike is not as bad as they say. Good Luck HD!
Thanks for all you have done with bb for us. I have one question: Memphis and Dan are planning to celebrate their win together with their gfs. Memphis really has talked about it to Dan. Does Memphis know about the trip with Michelle?
If not, it seems that that might put a wrench in their party plans when he finds out.
I want Dan to Win the big one! He has played the best game! I don't know how the jury will vote, seems like in the past they have voted completely different than I thought they would.
I have voted for Renny, but she seems to have bad feelings for Keesha. I like Keesha. Maybe I will start voting for her to win the 25 thousand.

Oh HD! I can't even begin to explain to you and the others how much I have enjoyed reading your blog and all the trolls (as you call them) comments. I won't go into detail about my illness cuz I want no sympathy at all, but (I have tears in my eyes right now) it made my days more bearable. I almost feel sad that it is almost over. But then I do have survivor to look forward too:). You can tell my kids are all grown and I am alone now, LOL. Anyway, as I have already said I really, really look forward to reading your blog and everyone's comments next summer, what fun it has been. Thanks HD and trolls. I hope you guys know I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Farewell until BB11. Be safe HD and all.

Good point...Renny doesn't need the money compared to most of the others, but she was by far the most entertaining!

Libra - won trip

Ollie & April - jerks, plus April got the gold bars

Keesha - sweetheart. Would have been my 1st choice out of the final 4. Incredibly patient - probably helped her game a lot!

Jerry - seems great on TV but the blogs/feeds make it clear that's not the case. A little of that's shown up on TV too. Although with his wife having Parkinsons and all his kids and great-grandkids, I could see where the money would go to a lot of good. And he was fun to watch. On the other hand, he also won some $$$

Michelle - well, she did get the little island trip. Some of what I've read about her drinking a lot in the house concerns me too.

I am so bummed that due to Hurricane Ike coverage that I missed seeing Jerry being booted. Looks like HD and must live in the same part of Texas where I am! I look forward to seeing the video when CBS posts it. Thanks too all for posting so I know whats going on. At least I can see Showtime right now. Hope I have electriciity so I can see the finale too!! Great job y'all!!

Let me begin by saying..Hope you are all safe from IKE...

I loved the show tonight since I am a Big Dan Fan.

My favorite part of the show was when Michelle thought she knew a Big Secret and then Keesha burst the bubble by saying that she already knew that Dan took Michelle on the trip...

Voted for Keesha as Jury Favorite..

Will be keeping you in our thoughts and praying for your safety as IKE looks like he is aimed right toward you. If he takes the turn back east he will be really close here. Hopefully he will be calmed down some. Hwy 59 looked like a giant parade going north this afternoon. They were still trying to open up more shelters. We've got an extra bed if you want to head north.

The show tonight was not much to write home about. Rather boring with the boxing match. It was an okay competition for determining a winner but didn't do much for the show. You knew what they were doing but just wanted it to end and see who won. More of that time could have been spent in the jury house or the trip with Michele.

As for BB, Dan totally deserves to win. He had the plan, he put it in play, and Memphis played his part well. They didn't have to be real a--holes as some "Evil" people in the past. I think this has been probably been the most entertaining of all BBs. I guess you could say even April and Ollie provided entertainment if you watch triple X porn movies. Someone said that April was still being a botch to Keesha, but I feel like April was just being herself and that she is a botch to anyone blond and much prettier than she. I really hope Ollie wakes up when he gets out of the house.
I'm trying to decide on jury vote for either Keesha or Rennie, leaning toward Keesha, yes, mainly to spite April. But, also because Keesha seemed to be a really nice person that tried to get along with all the houseguests, except one.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, all you folks that are voting for keesha to win the $ just to see the look on apehos face, please don't do that. PLEASE vote for the one that truly deserves it and quite possibly will need it to do repairs on her home that is RENNY!! I as much as anyone else that trulu despises apeho's disgusting lack of morals, please vote for RENNY, she did all the cooking, entertained beyond what any Las Vegas show could give you free of charge. While being a nice person and totally getting screwed over by Memphis, Keesha didn't do much of anything in the house. Hamster Dame i wished you safe earlier today and said my prayers for you, sorry i went on and on but some things just need to be indented into peoples hearts thanks for letting me grovel for RENNY. Guess i will stay up to vote another twenty times.

I loved tonight`s show. I have always liked Dan. I hated Memphis in the beginning but somehow he grew on me. This is the first time in a LONG time I have not been disappointed by the top two.

I too am glad Dan won. I did not fully trust Memphis to take him. I have a feeling the jury will vote for who played the best game and select Dan. DH is betting on Memphis.

Jerry in his undies. Oh Big Brother, I did not need that visual. I may have to take a sleeping pill tonight to fall asleep without seeing that each time I shut my eyes. You can`t even call them tightie whities... they were rather baggy. Saggy, baggy elephant comes to mind.

April, yeah she is still a little bitch.

I kind of want Jerry to win the 25k. I felt kind of bad for him tonight. They really did make a full out of him. Perhaps he deserves a bit of pity money.

As for Dan and Memphis being cocky. They played a brilliant game, each in their own way. They deserve to be cocky.

HD you are in my thoughts. Take care of yourself.

I am very curious as to who your guest blogger is, this should be fun.

HD- I really enjoy this site and the great work you do here. As for Ike or any other hurricane, if you aren't too close to the water, you'll be safe. I agree with the Key West comment, it's the post storm lack of power that really gets to you. Hopefully Ike will weaken and change course.

The Jury House looked like one very miserable group of people. Even Renny seemed very downbeat about being there. April.....oh wow...so delusional. I only wish I could see her reaction when she discovers she wasn't America's favorite. For that reason I hope Keesha gets the $25,000. I fear that the network watching fans will vote for the "kindly old grandfather".

I'm thrilled the Renegades won and I was very happy to see Dan and Memphis loyal to each other. I think if either one thought they'd have a chance to win with Jerry, they were fully capable of throwing the other under the bus.

I was wrong about the decision to take Jerry over Keesha to the Final 3 as Jerry did pathetically in the competitions. Dan and Memphis were right .... Kessha would have been much more competitive.

I know from the comments in here that most people wanted Dan and Memphis in the Final 2. I wonder if Dan is as popular with the country at large.

As a great game player Dan deserves to win, but at worst he gets $50,000 plus the $20,000 America's Player money and Memphis has his car to go with $50,000 (if he loses), so even the loser is going to be relatively happy.

I see Ollie, April, Michelle and Jerry against Dan. I think Renny, Keesha and maybe Libra will vote for Dan. With 20/20 hindsight, Dan probably should not have brought Michelle.

thanks for doing a great job this season!!! you rock!

stay safe and sound from Ike

No, no, no, JJ555 -- I, for one, AM voting for the one I think deserves it... Keesha. Keesha carried Renny and Memphis for at least half of this game and deserves my vote. And I would be voting for Keesha even if April weren't the sour dour prissy faced, anal compulsively obsessed, venom biting, junk collecting, porn performing, rancid and deluded nasty spiteful bitch that she's singlehandedly shown her dignified self to be.

Guys, this is not a game! When was the last time you played a game where the prize was $500K? Ollie actually had one good line this season: "IF you all wanted to play a game, you shoulda stayed home and played Monopoly." This is a cutthroat competition, if anything. But if it was a game, it would be a game with NO rules, where the best liar, cheater, backstabber wins. If the winner doesn't have to adhere to any rules/limits, then why should the jury always have to vote for who played the best "game". Since the Renegades were a team and made so many decisions together, this vote may have to be personal, maybe more so than any other. In any case, you had to have done a lot of things right and had a lot of luck to make F2, in any event.
I think similar to Ryan last year, Memphis's arrogance will lose this for him in the jury questioning. Two weeks ago I thought he had this nailed down.

If you guys really like Keesha, that's great. But if you're just doing it to spite April, please reconsider! Remember, she'll be jealous if ANYONE but her wins and she's not America's sweetheart!

Hey stay safe during IKE. He brought us a TON of wind and rain and didn't really even get all that close to us on the west coast of central Florida. Be prepared for alot of strong winds and rain. I hope you are on higher ground. I really missed the live blog tonight. I really enjoy reading the site. I don't get the After Dark stuff or the live feeds, just alittle broke here! So stay safe like I said before and be prepared for a long ride. IKE is really BIG!

Thinking of you, HD. Hope you are safe.

Yeah, Renegades! I hope the jury puts their bitterness aside long enough to see who the better player was - and that was definitely Dan!

As for the $25K -- let's see, two computers at work, two computers at home, eight votes a day for five days, that's 140 votes from me for Keesha!

benf, I'm with you on voting for Keesha. I think she deserves it for being the person she is while in the house and being kind to the old fart when nobody else would and not just to spite April. I like Renny too, but to vote for her because she might need the money for house repairs isn't fair. It isn't Keesha's fault for Gustav. Don't get me wrong, I feel for all the people that suffered through Gustav and now Ike.

Keep your chin up HD.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and yours.

God Bless

Yeah! Shopgirl!

jj555, I watch the show mainly for game play, not who entertained me the most. Keesha did better at game playing then Renny. I do love Renny and wish her well, but Keesha deserves the 25K in my opinion. For all you Dan fans, Dan may not be where he is today if not for Keesha so keep that in mind. Back to voting for Keesha.

ccc3s, yeah! That was a really good part of the show. Loved it.

iowagirl11, very good points!

HD,

Well my Darling, you're not alone. Personal business matters prevented the DRATS-ter from seeing the final Head of Household episode, earlier tonight as well.

(You'd be amazed how often I have to remind someone of their contractual obligations. Speaking of which... Benf, remember that little comment back in '88 about what you'd sell if you made that free-throw?)

On a less diabolical note...

HD, I won't go on to repeat what's been said already, but you'll be in my thoughts all day tomorrow and especially tomorrow night.

(Get your mind outta the gutter Gregor. You know what I meant.)

For now I will concentrate on Big Brother, follow instructions, answer your questions, and pretend to be a good little DRATS. (But only because I know you're too busy to spank me).

I'm voting for Renny.

No, it's not currently en vogue and I couldn't care less. I've never bowed to the whims of the masses and I certainly have no intention of starting now. America's Favourite isn't about game play, it isn't about giving Fivehead yet another thing to yammer on about, it's not about who hasn't already won something in a previous competition, and it's not about who most deserves it. It's about playing favourites and Renny has always been mine.

------ ------ ------

Tavia,

Sorry I couldn't meet your request to provide entertainment for the evening. There are times when I have to put down the golden fiddle and attend to other matters. Thank you for thinking of me. (Although I can't help but wonder if your recent propensity for pleasantry mightn't betray an overwhelming fear of what I might be writing for the roast next week.) Hmmm... ;)

Dixie-Cup,

Yes Darling, only 25 pages... So far. Remember I have another three days left. Imagine what I might do with seven? (Uh-oh... I shouldn't have said that. Last time I went there I got into all types of trouble.) Crap where's the fragging delete button before He sees...

------ ------ ------

Benny,

Don't let the whole "Prince of the Power of the Air" thing fool ya. It's just another stupid title. Moreover, while I appreciate the vote of confidence, unfortunately I don't do the "Calm the Storms" thing. That was the other Guy, and I'm afraid He really doesn't much appreciate the humour when I do impersonations.

Don't worry about Hammy though. I think I've got it handled.

A couple weeks ago, (after she refused a particularly nasty post I tried to send to Dixie) in a fit of anger I muttered something under my breath to the effect of, "Darn that Hammy!" which is always an effective way of putting someone on His "watch list".

My point being, I'm pretty certain He heard it cause Micheal's not been at poker night since,
and Gabe said something about him being on protective assignment in Harris County.

Don't worry Hammy'll be fine,

DRATS

P.S. Oh, and Ben. Trust me when I tell you Moses didn't pull off the Red Sea thing himself. He was just a stuttering twit with anger management problems who was given the right stick.

I see April still thinks she is America's sweetheart and that everyone else especially those who are still in the house are loathed by America. She said that she hoped Jerry would win because she would hate to have to pick between Dan and Memphis, she doesn't think they deserve the money. Hey too bad you were mostly getting laid in the house April.
I'm sure she thinks her or Ollie will get the vote for the $25thousand. It will be a nice rude awakening if Keesha wins the money. I would love to see her face. And would love to be a fly on the wall when she starts getting feedback from everyone after the show.

(((Grog))) ~ keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for whatever is going on.

(((HD))) ~ stay safe. I have a friend in Huntsville that's giving me updates. Also keeping you in my thoughts & prayers.

My vote for my favorite? I'm splitting my votes between Renny & Keesha.

Loved the show last night and can't wait to see what show clips we'll see on Sunday.

Two more weeks - SURVIVOR TIME!!

HD -- You shoulda seen it, the funniest thing tonight was when Michelle told the other jurors how shocked the next person who came into the jury house would be to find out about her trip with Dan, and then Keesha walks in and one of the first things out of her mouth is that Michelle took a trip with Dan and Michelle is like, "He told you guys?"
I can't stand Michelle so having Keesha ruin her excitement of being able to break this 'big news' (as she clearly felt it was) was priceless!
The second best moment in the show for me was when Dan and Memphis started jumping around on the living room table in celebration after Julie was done with them. So cute and funny! I can't believe after all the years I've watched BB and followed this blog that my choice of final 2 actually made it! WOW!!

First, HD - as always your blog rounds out what I consider to be a triad necessary to really understanding Big Brother. The live feeds, this blog, and then the aired show. Thanks for everything you do here. Stay safe through Ike and hope you are back by Tuesday.

So glad to see Dan & Memphis in the final two. I know I've never seen anyone full out PLAY the game more or better than he has. Memphis was a strategizer from the get go. He didn't play as hard but he always had a strategy.

My vote for America's Choice will be Renny. She's a class act. I can appreciate the wickedness of getting a jab in at April but wouldn't want to miss the change to do something to let Renny know how much fun she's been to watch on the feeds.

Stay safe HD and happy finale to everyone else.

Ok..Seeing Jerry in his underwear was really disturbing..and quite funny...April I still hope when she gets out she sees what people really think of her and she comes off her high horse..I think keesha was just caught up in the moment and her nerves got the best of her..Go Dan..he played the best game...HD please be careful Ike looks like the big one...I'am from the east coast not far from Michelle and its all over our news also..Be safe take care...

HD, Keep your self safe tonight and I will be thinking about you safe in your tub...Don't forget the mattress and bottled beverages!!!! You missed a great show last night and the sight of Jerry in his not so tight whites!!!
For awhile I was concerned that Jerry might make in the F2 but Dan stayed true to his Renegades. It was funny how both Julie and Memphis said 'Renegade' in their comments right before the eviction. Jerry did terrible on both parts of the HOH- 50+ minutes compared to Memphis's 8 in part 2. The boxing gloves were a little lame tho.
Sunday's show should be good, hopefully it won't be recaps but actual never seen clips and maybe some good bloopers. Maybe the TV veiwers will get a eye full of Ollie, April and Jerry's true acts in the house. Of course AP/OL acts may prove to be difficult to show on primetime...lol
The jury house didn't surprise at all but I loved the looks from both Michelle and April when Keeshea said she knew that Dan had taken Michelle on the trip. All my votes are going to Renny, she has been my fav from the start....
Keep your self safe tonight and the rest of the weekend.... You are the best HamsterDame!!!

HD, this show is awesome and does remind me of the older, better BB shows. Hope Dan wins, cause he has earned it. Don't yell at me, but I voted for the ole man Jerry. Well, HD he did last this long and he was my choice.

Have a sister living in Copperas Cove, Tx and she is deathly afraid of bad weather. She says they need rain, but not wind. We had Gustav, no electricity of 3 days and worse of all no computer!! Home spared, thank goodness, but lost many pine trees and pecan trees, part of our fence and divider to patio. It was scary. We had winds of 90 MPH. Now remember we are40 miles north of Baton Rouge and over 100 miles from New Orleans. Hate storms. So heres wishing you and all of Texas a safe ride. Hey maybe Ike will fizzle. Be safe friend.

Stay safe HD. Ike did one good thing for you... you missed Jerry in his skivvies. Did we really need to see that!?! Gratuitous BVD shot. But wait... i forgot what calvin klein did for Marky Mark. Could an ad campaign with Geri Jer and Jockey be on the horizon?

I agree generally with the previous posts. Glad it's Dan and Memphis. It was a good season with the past ones being pretty stupid. Would love to see Will and Dan duke it out. Keesha should get favorite jurror. She did fess up during the show last night that Dan was one heck of a player. Dan should win the big bucks and I think memphis is just happier than all get out for being 2nd. The jury is a bunch of girls, including Ollie and Jerry. Bound to be an interesting vote.

HD, you can't leave me hanging like that with your announcement! I hope it is good news for you!

For America's favorite, I'm torn between Keesha and Renny. I loved watching them and I loved how Renny turned around nearly being evicted right off.

HD.......thank you for this wonderful site throughout the BB season, you do an AMAZING job! God bless and watch over you and everyone in Ike's path. Stay safe and let's hope all is back to normal sooner than later.

Think that Dan should tell Memphis about the beach trip with Michelle before the jury questions, and he most likely will...Dan always seems to know exactly what the best move is. The kid has got a great mind. Go Dan... I want you to win this thing! It's not that I don't like Memphis, but Dan seems much more sincere about being a genuine person who actually cares about others (except when he is playing the game..lol).

This jury house may well be the worst group for bitterness. Even Evel Dick's season weren't this miserable and vindictive. If they vote on game play then Dan has to win it with all of them. April should vote for Dan.......after all Memphis's car has to be worth more than the grand prize by now doesn't it?

I am voting for Keesha my 8 times daily through Monday. Agree that Renny was amusing, but think Keesha deserves it more.....and April will die inside if it happens!

I echo the comments of many above. HD, you are the best - THANKS for the hard work and dedication. Stay safe in Ike! This BLOG is at least as important as the show. For me the blog been MORE important and way more fun. I have missed the show more than a few times this season and REALLY enjoy all of your entries and comments that everyone puts out there. They are priceless! So, dont post this if I am guessing the BIG announcement, but ARE YOU GOING TO THE FINALE? Did CBS come through? OBTW, My votes for favorite juror went to Renny. She was good for the show. I want Dan to take the whole thing. He was hands down the best player (cocky or not). Be fun to see Dan and Dr Will in a season together with a bunch of wannabe pawns and watch them work the magic.... LOL. Take Care HD and give us a wave if you get to the finale... Bebe

Ok I'm voting for Keesha and this is why. She did change the votes around in Memphiss favor and she did stay true to her alliance and won comps. Now besides Renny she is the only one who didn't win anything. Libra - trip; April - $ and designer clothes; Jerry - $ from April; Michelle - trip from Dan & diamond earrings from April so that just leaves Renny & Keesha. Well Renny is a salon owner while Keesha is a Hooters waitress. I love Renny and I live in South Florida so hurricanes are just a part of life. I'm sure she has things under control. Keesha deserves the $$

Benf - If Dan tells the jurors that he was AP, he'll lose the $20k. Hopefully he knows that, and if he does, I doubt he'll disclose.

Gregor - Sorry, I'm more off the cuff wit... so my roast will fall pitifully short.

Drats - Evil becomes you.

HD - I was in Hurricane Camille way back in 1969. I was in highschool in Biloxi MS, and trust me, it was a hell of a lot more than hot air. That's why I don't live at the coast, nor will I ever. You & all of the coastal area are in my prayers (yes Drats, I'm Catholic and we do say them... right after confession)... Hurricanes, nothing to sneeze at. I'm not looking forward to this one.

Last night I had decided to vote for Manchelle, but after reading all the great posts on your blog last night and this morning... I'm voting for Keesh... there ya go BenF... hope she wins and it sticks in April-Ho's nasty sneering face.

Work world beckons.... until next time...

Good Luck, HD and God watch over you and protect you. I hope that Ike isn't as bad as they say, you know newscasters in a feeding frenzy.

I hope that Dan wins and that the jury house rises above it's pettiness and votes for him. I doubt that this will happen with the type of critters they have in there though. Memphis has a twist too, his sister who was tested for "possible" Leukemia, her white blood cell count is off and they are checking it out. He told Dan about this.

Adam won on a donation that he was giving some of his money to, who knows whether he ever did it. (?)

Dan and Renny kept this BB 10 interesting and funny so Renny gets my vote.

Guess Ike got my last post. Stay safe.

I'm voting for Keesha for 2 reasons:
1- she seems to truly be a nice person
2- I want to see April's facce when she does because, as delusional as April is, we all know she will expect to win it!

I'm wondering if they will show any of the sexy stuff between April and Ollie on the Sunday show? I wish they would show a bit more of the "real" April and the real Jerry.

Thank you HD for your insights and information about all that is Big Brother, I truly appreciate it. Stay safe during the storm.

Why my votes are going to Keesha..

She deserved to honestly have a chance to try for the final two..that did not happen so she is getting my vote and it looks like a few more based on the comments here.

Sorry no votes for Renny because in the game she tried to send Dan to the jury house..

Since he is my all time favorite player that still weighs on my mind when I voted for Keesha.

I think there is a strong possibility that Keesha would have brought Dan to the final 2..

Thanks for everything HD..wow hard to believe that this season is almost over..

Please be safe and thanks fo the amazingly wonderful job that have done this season. You made it one of the most exciting BB seasons for me. I don't like Dan, but I think he deserves it MORE than Memphis. I'm torn between voting for Keesha or Renny.

I'm voting Keesha,one because I like her and two just to get that smirk off of Aprils face.

goodspeed HD.

question you silly posters. was the prize for jury fave last year 25,000? i cant remember. they need to up the 2nd place winner to at least $100,000.

so glad dan won HOH. splitting my votes between renny & keesha.

Dixie, you don't think I'd want my Danny to do something that would make him lose $20K do you? Maybe he has already checked with BB to find out if he is now allowed to tell people. It was just a thought, but I still think it is feasible.

Drattersby: Sorry, the '88 comment went way over my head.

Go Dan!
Go Keesha!
Go HD!

Lovely HD, unlike the others,I'm not too worried about your survival during Ike.You seem to be too intelligent not to be prepared for the storm,and I think you would get the hell out of Dodge (so to speak)if you were in a flood zone. That being said I wish you the best in the next few days.May your roof remain intact,your electricity stay on,and all tornados move the other way.I'm expecting you to weather the storm like a champ.Love ya,HD.

So thrilled the Renagades' plans went so well.I was happy Dan won HOH cause I didn't trust Memphis.My friend Rosie suggested they keep Keesha instead of Jerry and give her a couple glasses of wine before each competition.Tee Hee Hee...IMHO she would have been beaten before she started,and it would have pretty funny.

As to the voting for favorite jury member,Keesha gets all my votes.Renny has been throwing some hints around, and I am beginning to think CBS has offered her a part in a sitcom...just my opinion.
Also Renny has a business and all her teeth. Would like to see Kee win the $$$ so she can afford her implant. She deserves it more than Renny cause she had more game.

Drats...25 pages? give me a break! It was hard enough for me to type a short song with only one finger. Do you expect me to read all that?

God bless all who are in Ike's path especially you HD! Love, Betty

From HD - Thank you Betty! I really appreciate it. :)

TexanBBfan, I agree with your reasons for voting for Keesha. I thought that it would have been deserved for her to be in F3, and the past days since she was evicted would have been much more suspenseful and entertaining with her there.

Since there is a rumor of a BB "Will" who was in a plane crash, I hope it's not Will Bega(sp?) from Season I, or any other Will who was a BB HG.

Keep safe HD.
Yay for final two, go Dan. I agree with Michigan Man I'm voting for Keesha just to SEE April's ugly unhappy face!!! I truly think she is one awful person.
Great season of BB.

Hi, I just wanted to tell you ty for keeping me so entertained! We don't always agree BUT you do always put a smile on my face! I also missed the live show Thurs. cause I live in Houston!! I am terrified! and alo P.O.ed that I missed the show!
I just wanted to tell all my peeps to vote the $25,000 to Keesha, she she deserves it & I agree with all, I it would be worht the look on Miss Aprils fugly face!!!!!!!!! Thanks again for eveything you do! I love ya!

I'm voting for Renny because she was the most Entertainment in the house, and it would have been a VERY boring house this year without Renny. Dare I say she is the most fun houseguest ever, and she's my favorite. Hopefully Sunday will show some great Renny moments because the T.V. show sure doesn't capture her best moments. The people with the feeds are the people who truly got to see great Entertainment. So hopefully Sundays show will get Renny some votes. I'm scared Jerry will win after his speech last night.

I think Dan has won the game. I think he will get votes from Libra, Michelle, Renny and Keesha.

I think Memphis will get votes from Ollie, April and Jerry.

In my view, America's favorite is not about "game play", but rather a houseguest that was entertaining and likeable as a person. It was a challenge for the 2 older houseguests to be in the house with so many younger individuals who could more easily connect. There is no doubt in my mind that Dan and Renny were the most entertaining players in the house. The remaining houseguests (Jerry, Memphis, and Keesha) were so boring when Dan was gone. Since Dan will win one of the big prizes, I sincerely think Renny is far more deserving of America's Favorite than Keesha. Renny was extremely creative and a pleasure to watch and don't forget all the work she did cooking like a loving mom for the gang. Good job Renny. Those who are splitting their votes--why bother voting at all, if you are going to cancel them out with such a strategy. VOTE FOR RENNY...what fun she added to this season. Remember 8 votes a day is what we are allowed.

PS As a Canadian living not far from Toronto, I can't believe what you, our American friends have to go through when it comes to weather. Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods...wow, so many challenges. I hate to watch so much suffering and hope things ease up for you all soon. God bless America (and God bless Canada too)!

Reporting in from Phoenix, Maryland. We are all praying for you and all of the people in the line of this scary storm. We love keeping up with BB through your blogging and we're sorry you missed the show. Maybe you can catch it "on demand"?
Stay safe.

Hope you stay safe HD. Having lived in the south I know what it is like. One thing I would like to mention is I went back and looked at the first episode and April saying "I am PERFECT and want everything to be perfect also". Well her unprotected sex in her mind must be perfect. Did they even wash?? YUK!!!!!
My vote will split between Renny and Keesha. Hope Dans takes it all. Memphis is hot air with his pimp hat. JMHO
Oh and I would think about copy-write infringements as to starting a clothing line. Dan, just take all your money and get out of town.

Betty,

Actually Darling, (I guess you must've missed my my earlier post yesterday) what I said was,

"...the 25 pages I've dedicated SOLELY TO DIXIE,"

and again, that was yesterday so that number is no longer applicable. I believe the total document reached the 250 pages this morning sometime around 2:30AM PST. (but of course that's including the bibliography and the the forward I forced William F. Buckley Jr. to write.)

;)

DRATS

HD , I really missed your Live Blog. I am sorry you didn't get a chance to see Jerry get evicted first hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all others in Ike's path. I hope all is well with you and yours in the next few days and you will be able to join us for the Final on Tuesday.

I am so glad that Dan made it to the F2. Way to go. I won't say he beat Dr. Will until he wins the Top Prize.He was just as interesting to watch though.I am torn between giving my votes to Renny or Keesha. I might give 8 to Renny, then the rest to Keesha.The bad news is that The CBS Jerry Propaganda Machine may be working on the TV Only Audience. My sister (who I have mentioned before) wants me to vote for Jerry. Because he has been treated terribly by those "2 Cocky A..H...s" and" his wife does have Parkinson's and that's a terrible disease and Medical care is expensive. I know you told me he is an A..hole but his wife needs the money". I told her he has enough money, He brags about his house and all his possessions. That he gave away a Camaro to a neighbor, and that he wants to give the money to his lazy good for nothing son for a house.No way in Hell I am giving him a vote.

Stay Safe. Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Just a thought to all of you that are splitting your votes for "favorite HG" between Renny and Keesha....this is exactly how Jerry ended up with America's phone call! Uggh!

HD-Hope things go well for you in the Houston area. You are more than welcome to come up to the Texas Panhandle area for a visit if you want to.

Final Two-Hope Dan the Man takes it all. One of best if not the best player in BB History.
Favorite Juror- Renny- she handled her eviction with such class and dignity that she deserves to be recognized by the American Public.

Drats-where do I obtain A copy of your great writing that is 2500000 pages long??

deedlestexan, Are we voting for the juror to win the 25k by the way they handled their exit?? Or are we voting for Keesha cuz she helped get Dan the man where he is?? Also, all you Memphis fans (if there are any:) he is there definately because of Keesha. Anyway, Keesha fans, we better vote the max that we can or it looks like it could go to Renny. I wouldn't be to disappointed if it went to Renny, but I feel strongly that Keesha deserves it more than Renny. Is there anything I can do or say to get you Renny voters to go to Keesha, if so let me know:).

HD, how are you? I just can't say goodbye quit yet, although I have twice lol. Your blog and posters are just too good not to check out everyday. So I am going to hang in there until the finale. Hope you are doing good. I am about to call my Aunt in Pasadena, TX to see how she is. Do you know where that is? Well, hope to hear from you soon. Wish we could vote for you to get the 25K:).

From HD - Pasadena's not that far from me. And you don't have to say goodbye to me or Silly Hamsters yet. I'll be back online as soon as I can after the hurricane but in the meantime, the blog will be in fantastic hands. So I'm going to expect you and everybody else to keep things up for me so I have plenty to read when I come back.

HD, I'm sure you're way ahead of me, but last night's episode is on cbs.com now, if you haven't checked it out yet--but I'm sure you have! Well, I'm in Spring, TX, so I'm getting ready for Ike. I hope he doesn't smack you around too hard where you are. Be safe! Lots of love

From HD - I just finished watching it! LOL! You stay safe where you're at too.

Stay Safe HD! Right now I am worried for my Uncles and Aunts in Texas...1 couple in Houston, 1 couple in Cuero..the Cuero couple have been told mandatory evacuations, so they are leaving..the Houston couple is staying put like you! Please be safe!

DRATS Said Yada - Yada "America's Favourite isn't about game play," Blah, blah "not about who most deserves it. It's about playing favourites and Renny has always been mine."

Well, Drats ol' Buddy, I beg to differ with you on this one. Mine opinion/decision however is based on a miriad of factors. Such as who I feel played a good game; is a nice person; helped others with their game to get to the end; has entertained; etc. Therefore my votes go to Keesha.

While I thought Renny was very entertaining, IMHO she did not come out ahead in all the things I factor my America's Favorite.

No hard Feelings DRATS, I also don't march along with the masses. ;)

keesha should win the favorite juror . . . just to reallly piss April off some more.

OK I am voting for Jerry.
He is not my favorite.....
In fact all in the Jury (except Libra Maby) are sore loosers.
Keesha is OK , but I like Renny better... so why am I voting for Jerry ? At his age, he did a great job sticking with young people....and I think it was harder for him to stay so long away from the family. Hid did not do too bad in few competitions.....(not the last one), better than other HG. So all my vote go to JERRY.
