I think if I took the letter, I would be able to hear my kid screaming "My mom is so Lame!!!"

I said that night, I'd take the vacation, lol. Especially if my kids were that young. But even at their ages, they would understand. Plus I'd bring them something really nice back, lol.

It's a shame that in yesterdays food competition with X HG's , one of the question did not go something like " True or False, the banner the HG's keep referring to had nothing to do with Libra or the Big Brother house". I so want to see her off the hook for that and someone else suffer some embarrassment for it.

I'd love it if Libra won POV today. That'd make for an even more exciting week and would be great. LOL, Hyper, if even that much. Our vacations are usually to Vegas (and last one was two years ago) and we've gotten to the point that when we go we'll pick up something small for the kids, a postcard, a deck of cards, and then come home and take them shopping for something they really want. They are usually happier doing that than if we pick up something while we're away.

I've been trying to figure out for a week, but no one has yet explained how houseguests could make up deliberate hurtful lies about a plane allegedly sent by steven about Libra and be honest players, while Libra tells the truth (most of the time) and is labled the liar and manipulator of the group? Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Keesha come to Libra with the idea they had the numbers with Renny to get Jessie out? Now Keesha is the innocent one, and it was all Libra's manipulation that got Jessie out? You would have thought it only took Libra's vote to get Steven out. These people live in another world. Come on, while Libra is not the most likable person on earth, she certainly doesn't deserve all this nonsense this from the houseguests, CBS or BB fans. ...just my

I agree about the banner thing. On the CF show, Julie said that they couldn't clarify that the EQ was real as they are supposed to be removed from any outside information, however one of the questions they had, clarified that the EQ was real. Why couldn't they have done the same about the banner. It certainly has hurt Libra's game and Michelle won't let anyone forget it.

Unfortunately, Libra won't know the truth about the banner until AFTER the voting,unless Memphis owns up to it. Michelle seems to really believe her lie by now.

Loving the Libra the past couple days. SHe has fought back from the depression of the "bog fight". She is going to be " a part of not aprt from", she's talking to everyone, she's letting people know her, she and Keesha are having great conversations, even if Keesha may hate her later (a lot of info about her finances)and I love how real she is being. A proud woman. Go Libra !!!

I hope Libra has a nice relaxing time in sequester, enjoys her pictures from home, and her phone calls that she gets to have with her hubby. I'm going to miss her in the house.

Libra's family was so lovely. I'm glad they had the opportunity to rebuff and comments made regarding Libra's choice to enter the house! I will be so interested to see her in jury house...and how she leads the group to follow. Thanks, Libra.

Shoe, I think she went out classy too. I'm even glad she didn't fake hug Michelle. Bee, I think it will be interesting how it goes in the jury house too. I hope we don't have to wait for weeks to see the jury house.

Gonna miss you, girl. Wish they would have kept you over Keesha. You got "scape goated" on too much. Enjoy a rest in the sequester house. Your children (and husband) are adorable. Sorry, but I hope April is right behind you. But, don't be listening to her, OK? You are gorgeous~have a great life, KC in NC PS It's fun to learn to spend less on things in life so you don't get spread too thin.

An Exit Interview with Libra: http://blog.zap2it.com/bigbrother/2008/08/big-brother-lib.html 'Big Brother': Libra's Exit Interview By Andrea Reiher August 15, 12:13 PM Well, after I couldn't get a word in edgewise and Big Brother's Jessie wouldn't shut up last week, I guess I was just asking for an interviewee this week who barely said a word. I apologize for the sparseness and hopefully the evicted houseguest next will be back on form. Read Libra's interview after the jump. Was Big Brother a positive experience for you? Not sure... I'll have to wait and see when the show is over. Hahahahaha! Needless to say, I had fun. Are you glad you participated? I am glad that I participated- I would have regretted it if I did not come on the show. The fighting, particularly among you, Keesha, Michelle and April, got pretty out of hand sometimes. Do you regret fighting so much with each other? I do not regret what I was feeling in the moment. When you put four women in the house around the same age, what do you expect?** Who do you trust in the house? No. You can only trust in yourself. What do you wish you could've done differently in your game play? I wished I would have won an HOH competition.

Entertainment Weekly interview with Libra: http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/08/bb-10-evictee-a.html Q&A: 'Big Brother' evictee Libra: Jerry is a dirty old man! Aug 15, 2008, 03:42 PM | by Lynette Rice Having been unanimously evicted last night, Libra Thompson is the first tenant of the Big Brother jury house! Since her job now is to figure who should win the $500,000, we can’t ask her about things she hasn’t seen or heard while playing the game -- like who Renny, the new head of household, will put up for nomination on Sunday, or whether April is better looking than Keesha (seriously, like there’s even a question). But we can ask her about going to Hawaii, her thoughts about Jerry, and whether April was right to think she sucks at veto competitions. POPWATCH: First, a question that I believe is on the mind of every woman who watches this show: Why does it seem like you and the other gals have endless supplies of clothing, and yet we only see you walk out with a relatively small gym bag? LIBRA THOMPSON: I brought an enormous suitcase, over 100 pounds in weight. It was worth it for sure. You definitely need to have outfits to look as fresh as you can if you’re going to be in the house for three months. We also did a lot of mixing and matching. Almost immediately, Julie hit you with the question about leaving your small children to play the game. How much was this an issue in the house? Did your fellow players talk about it? My fellow players respected my decision. No one threw that in my face. They wouldn’t have the nerve. Most understood that at the end of the day, I could win $500,000 for my kids. Let’s go back to that fateful veto competition when you took the Hawaiian trip away from Michelle. Did you give the letters a thought? This is the most ridiculous thing to me, people asking me why I didn’t get the letter from home. You play the game with the idea that you’re going to eventually win HOH, and one of the perks of being HOH is getting a letter from home. In that moment I was thinking not only can I [eventually] win HOH, I can also get a trip to Hawaii! Michelle was so angry. She did not handle it well at all. She threw a tantrum and cried halfway through the night. I can honestly say that if the shoe was on the other foot, she would have taken the trip. At the feast, you made a sarcastic comment about Keesha wanting to wear some of April’s new clothes. It got back to Keesha, who immediately gave you crap. Honestly, what I really meant to say was that she was kissing April’s ass. If you’ve seen the show, you’ve seen Keesha in one room, sharing her true feelings about April, but when we’re all together, she’s like, 'I never had any problem with you!' Blah blah, I’m calling bulls--- on that! I was over it at the feast. I started thinking, "April is your friend today, Keesha, but tomorrow, she’ll be a b----, just like you’re always calling her." You and April ultimately seemed like a bad combo. Why did you align with her? It’s one of those things that you tend to think that, for the moment, it’s going to work but it’s not going to be for the duration. April didn’t think you could be counted on to win veto comps. That made me mad, and then I won, so…kiss my a--! Jessie told everyone that a banner flown over the house said something about how you couldn’t be trusted. Did you believe him? I just want to say, I was little bit proud to have a banner. Who has banners? At least people know my name. My thought was "Oh, s---, this will mess me up from a strategic standpoint." Now banners are going up with my name attached! I think everyone took it with a grain of salt, though it gave them something to wonder about. I honestly don’t know what the banner said, though April had her suspicions. She said what if it said Keesha was a liar? (Editor's note: A CBS insider said the banner had nothing to do with the game.) What are your thoughts about Jerry? Jerry is a dirty old man. There are things he did in that house that you guys need to see on YouTube. He’s not gingerly [sic] or grandfather-y. He loves the women, and he loves to keep himself in the mix as much as I do, but Jerry stands behind the honor of being a Marine, the whole truth and loyal thing, while at same time throwing as much dirt and lies around as everybody else. Did you think he was going to exercise the veto this week? I thought, honestly Jerry, you are killing me. Calling Dan a Judas? I thought it was a bit much. And if he was going to use it, I thought he was going to save Keesha. Who do you think is going make it to the final two? Honestly, this game is a toss-up. Typically in other seasons the stronger players throw out weaker ones in the beginning, but it has flip-flopped this time. I have no idea. Who is your favorite BB player of all time? Everyone loves Janelle, while I like Will. He’s the puppet master, while apparently I am the puppet mistress. I’m going to take that with honor!
