Ollie says he is going to get upset at Dan if the promise is not kept. If Ollie hits Dan, he is out, correct?

Yes, indeed. No physical violence allowed in BB.

Thanks, Seamonkey and Wargod! I'd just thought that Dan seemed to be a lot better off after they both were down, partly because Ollie was saying he couldn't even feel his arm anymore. I guess my perception of the endurance comp was lacking some important details! But it looks like Dan did "whatever it takes" to win it. Even though Dan's body was about to give out, his brain turned out to be MUCH stronger than Ollie's. Ollie doesn't realize that, aside from the competitions, BB itself is a game of wits and MENTAL endurance, not physical strength! Ollie has physical strength, but he seems to be lacking the wits he needs to stay afloat in this game.

"Ollie says he is going to get upset at Dan if the promise is not kept." LOL Everyone in BB gets upset when they are played like a fine violin! He should be upset with himself for falling for being so naive!

Sanfran.. I also thought Dan seemed in better shape than Ollie or Memphis after dropping. I'm sure they were all hurting and numb in the limbs. Dan took a risk, with his allies, but it DID force them to come together as an alliance, which hadn't happened so much before. And Memphis was forced to play hard for POV because someone could have won POV and left nominations the same. Of course if Dan kept the last part, he's already told Ollie that Keesha was to be safe, same as Michelle, so Ollie was breaking that part of the deal by demanding that Keesha go up. That left Renny, who Ollie really didn't want to put up. I did hear Ollie speaking to Jerry or Michelle and acknowedging that if he didn't keep his part of the deal (he was telling Jerry NOT to let Dan know that Jerry knew about the deal ahead of time) that Dan could then go back on his part. And it seems that Ollie slipped up, not Jerry, so Dan has that going for him.

I've not been keeping up this weekend, other than that Memphis won POV. So I'm wondering... will Dan put up Michelle? If he has an F4 alliane with M/R/K, then that leaves Ollie or Michelle.

Yes, he will put Michelle on the block knowing that Ollie, Jerry and Michelle are going to flip out when he does this. Michelle is the intended target this week...and has been all along.

Great! Thanks, Bee! (And while I'm barely even watching, I think getting rid of Michelle is a purr-fect choice!)

Reader, the hg's have been talking for a while about a double eviction. I don't think they really know it's coming this week, but those who know the game know it usually happens somewhere around this point. There are quite a few this year (Dan, Jerry, Michelle, and Memphis off the top of my head) who have watched several seasons at least.

Hiya Sandra!! While we can't really know unless we ask Dan, some have speculated it's the coach in him. Others have speculated he may be deaf in one ear. I think he just wants to make sure we're hearing him loud and clear. lol

I think Dan is secretly dating Sharon from BB9 and she taught him how to speak in the DR.

I have seen some speculation it is because he's use to using the loud voice while talking to his students in class. Could be. It does make him sound more authoritive.

I agree, when he speaks to people, or the camera out on the yard, it is conversational, and pleasant...but when he goes to the DR, he puts on his "teacher voice" and I think that is what we are getting...his authorative, projecting, no non-sense voice, jmho.

Sharon reminded me of the people I know with bad nasal problems. Their sinuses are so stuffed up that they can't really judge how loud they are speaking. (the kind of stuffed up where your ears feel plugged) I agree it's just Dan's "teacher voice" in the DR.

I am not sure if this is the right place for it, but something just occured to me...when April gave michelle that blue top, I thought it was odd, and very random,(it has bothered me for over a week now) it seemed too awkward and out of the blue, with April leaving and going to the jury house ,I couldnt see why she would bribe anyone, she was done, it seemed soooo out of character for April to be nice, for no good reason. This "big heart" she constantly spoke of, escaped me....but now it makes sense to me...it was a bribe...for Michelle to protect and stay with Ollie....April knew he didnt have a chance in this game, he may be strong, but clueless...by april giving michelle the shirt "out of the kindness of her heart" she has Michellle beholden to her, opps I mean Ollie. Does anyone think I am right, or crazy?

Jes, I think she said she lent the top to Michelle to wear at the end. So Michelle's protection comes cheap. She did give her the earrings though. April said that the clothes weren't her taste, as if her taste was better than the stylist. I suspect we will see them on Ebay in a month!

I think Dan yells in the DR because he isn't use to speaking in a room when no one is there. He knows he is talking to someone but just can't see them, therefore he is yelling so they can hear him. I think, but not 100% sure, that they take their mics off when they are in the DR. Not sure if this make sense the way I said it or not. LOL When speaking to the cameras in the house, like outside or his HOH room, he is more aware that other HG can hear him, plus he has his mic on so he knows BB and us can hear him, therefore he speaks more softly.

Did Dan officially give Ollie his answer as to who goes on the block (wink, wink) last night. He had promised to give a name: Keesha or Renny.

Just watched last night's cbs version of the show...Ollie has become quite the cocky little one, hasnt he---I've seen it on the feeds, but in the edited version, putting them all together with a nice little bow on top doesnt do him any favors. When he keeps calling it the deal of the century and a "steal" I cant help but wonder if he has never heard the expression as something being TOO good to be true....I think he has become so arrogant, that he will fall hard when the s**t hits the fan today.

Does Ollie trust Dan? Is Michelle positively absolutely going up? Over at Jokers, someone wrote...."3 hours till the explosion"

Question for tax/CPSs: We all should know any prizes won are subject to tax. If a HG gives away part of the prize, such as a gold bar or an article of clothing the winner of the prize is still liable for the tax but not the receipient of the gift. If I am correct and April gave Jerry 4K of the 10k she won April will hand over most of the remaineder to Uncle Sam. Same for the items she gave to Michelle.

If April won $10K, and guessing she'd be in the 25% tax bracket this year, she'd get $7500. She's giving Jerry $4000 of that after tax money, so yes, she's giving away more than half of what she will receive from the prize, after tax. Jerry isn't taxed on the $4K.
