Hello! I would like to welcome you to Episode 5, which starts with Day 10 in the "Big Brother" house. This episode starts with Dan and Jessie talking, basically just with Dan letting Jessie know that there are no hard feelings about his nominating him and that, if Dan wins HOH, he won't be going after Jessie. I think this is a smart move on Dan's part because it makes it so that Jessie feels safe if Dan stays. So, Jessie will promote Dan staying to the rest of the house. And usually the houseguests respect the HOH's wishes -- not always, but most of the time. Then there is a talk with Angie and Steven. Steven seems so depressed; it's really sad. Steven was the most upbeat person out of all of them in the pre-interviews, so to see him like this makes me sad for him.

Michelle talks to Jessie about how she wanted a "showmance" and how she is bummed because he has a girlfriend. I think this is funny because he didn't have a girlfriend when I interviewed him. Maybe he met her in sequester? Or maybe it's just his way of shooing her off?
Keesha and Steven talk. Keesha tells Steven that one of them must win the POV. She then tells the "Girls Club," and they all think she is a crazy two-faced *itch. Wow, I didn't know you could say that on CBS. Anyhow, the POV competition rolls around, and Jessie for some reason chooses Jerry to host it. Oh, my word. My ears are bleeding from just hearing the strain in Jerry's voice. Anyways, this POV is titled "License to Veto," and it is a memory-type game-show-ish game. The houseguests are given a "Big Brother" phrase for which they have to find the three license plates that match. The hard part is, once they "honk" in to answer, there is a cover that covers all the license plates, so they have to remember the state license plates to get the phrase right. OK, enough explaining. Dan and Jessie are out on the first phrase. And they are then quickly followed by Steven. There is then a phrase that you can win a "Slop Pass" for getting correct, and even though Libra and Keesha have both been on slop for two weeks neither of them takes it. Why? Well, Libra thinks that, if she had taken the slop pass, then Keesha might have won and taken Steven off the block. Keesha can't take it because, whether or not she would have taken Steven off the block, she wanted Steven to know she didn't wuss out on him for a slop pass. The best part about it, is that on the very next phrase both Libra and Keesha get out, making Michelle the POV winner.

Now it is fight time!!! Everyone is mad at Keesha for not taking the slop pass because of the whole Steven thing. Then Keesha talks smack about Libra to Renny and Jerry, telling them how two-faced she is. They discuss how Libra said that the two "old" people lost the food comp for them, something that upsets Jerry enough to make him yell at Libra. Side note: Everyone is wearing different clothes when the Keesha, Renny, and Jerry conversation takes place, compared to when Jerry yells at Libra. So, basically, some of Jerry's yelling was edited together, but it was a fight none the less. Anyways, as Jerry is freaking out on Libra, Libra is just denying what was said and demands to know who told him that. Jerry says that it was "the other old person," even though it was both Renny and Keesha. Libra then flips out on Renny. They have a very confusing yelling battle. And then relief. Nothing is resolved! Keesha isn't done with Libra yet; she then tries to convince Jessie to back-door Libra this week. He seems to agree. The only problem is that Michelle is the POV holder and she is not interested. The POV meeting comes, and, nope, Michelle doesn't budge. The Power of Veto is NOT used. End of scene.
Did anyone else notice that April, Ollie and Angie were almost missing from the episode? I found it strange. :-)
