Dan, "America's Player," receives his new task, which is to hug Jessie for at least 10 seconds. It seems like Dan plays this one smooth; he waits until everyone is in bed and then talks to Jessie in the private spa room. Dan starts to cry about missing his girlfriend, and Jessie is actually really nice about it and "convinces" Dan that everything is going to be OK! Dan then hugs Jessie for 17 seconds, as he gives a smile for the camera. The hug doesn't actually seem unnatural at all. Task well-done, Dan!

The houseguests then pick players for the power of veto. Michelle, Libra, and Jerry are the three additional players. This upsets April because Libra and Jerry are the last two people from her alliance that she wanted to play in the power of veto competition. April says the only way Jerry will win if it's a picking-your-nose competition. Libra gets her feelings hurt because of April's thinking that she is useless in the competitions. Libra and Keesha talk "privately" in the hippie room about April, but they are so loud that Jessie overhears them. Jessie then tells April that Keesha and Libra are talking badly about her. Then April finds out about Keesha and Libra talking crap about her. And then all hell breaks loose! Keesha has a meltdown and starts wandering around the house cursing. More things happen; they are all yelling and mad at each other, and it's just ridiculous. Jerry comes in the room and tells the girls to be quiet because Memphis is making fun of them. Renny gets pissed at Jerry and starts yelling. Libra yells at Jessie, and then they all walk into the kitchen and sing Keesha "Happy Birthday," which is followed by silence. Then Michelle tries to finish the fight, and Keesha blows up again. And there is a bunch of yelling. I might note they are all wearing the same outfits the whole time, which means that it really all did happen the same night. I think my favorite part of the fight is the Eminem-type music playing low in the background.
Here we are at the "Slap Shot" veto competition! For this competition, the houseguests have to hit a ball into a hockey net that is divided into a point system; the middle is a perfect 0, and it goes out from there to 8 on both sides. That reminds me: "What did the 0 say to the 8? 'Nice Belt.'" OK! Back on topic. Each round, the houseguests take a shot, and whoever is furthest from 0 is out of the competition. The first three out are Memphis, Michelle, and Jessie. And at that point, it doesn't really matter who wins, since the remaining three will all leave the nominations the same. So now, I must tell you about the good part of the competition: the trophies. You see, as the houseguests get out, they are given a trophy, and in the trophies there are really cool prizes. To explain what went down with the prizes would take forever, so I am just going to the good stuff. Memphis wins a "Slop Surprise" pass, which is a slop pass for any week that he wants it, but he also has to put a houseguest on slop for this week, he immediately chooses Jerry, so Jerry is on slop. Michelle wins a two-week trip to Hawaii at first and is very excited about it, but then Libra takes it away from her, leaving Michelle with her prize of my red unitard. I have my unitard with me, but Big Brother likes to pretend that it is mine! :-) Jessie wins a letter from home. April wins $10,000, which is hers to keep or give out to others. She keeps $5,000, gives Jerry $4,000, and gives Libra $1,000. Jerry wins the POV after talking April into splitting the money with him. And the "actual" winner of the slap shot competition, Libra, receives my unitard in her first place trophy. This is really funny, because when I interviewed her, she said that she would leave the show if she had to wear it, which is why she decides to trade her prize with Michelle.

After the POV competition Michelle freaks out, saying that "she is not here to be made a fool of" and that "she's here to win a game." Wow, Michelle. Chill out! It was the first place prize, she should be happy. In all fairness, I think that when Big Brother introduced the "unitard" to me in Season 8, they thought it was a punishment and that I would flip out over it. So after two seasons they finally got their wish!
This brings us to the end of the show, where of course Jerry doesn't use the POV on Jessie or Memphis. Which leaves the nominations the same. This means that either Jessie or Memphis will be evicted on this Thursday's LIVE show! Oh, and don't forget. For this week only, "we" (aka America) have one house vote thanks to "America's Player." Who do you want to evict from "Big Brother 10"? I want Memphis out! Not because I like Jessie, but just because I think that if Memphis stays, the house will be one-sided. And if Jessie stays, there will be even sides, which means more FUN!!!
