Oh Brother!

It Couldn’t Have Been Scripted Any Better

2008-09-17T19:34:51Z

Michele Greppi: Dan, the Catholic school teacher whose complex and evolving gamesmanship earned him a unanimous vote—and $500,000—from a jury of people whose ousters he helped maneuver, wasn’t the only winner as “Big Brother 10” came to an end last...

A Dan-Tastic Way to Get Rid of Jerry

2008-09-12T18:10:35Z

Michele Greppi: Dan did it. He masterminded himself and Memphis into the final two on “Big Brother 10” and kept his hands clean, because it was Memphis who single-handedly evicted Geezer Jerry in a live bye-bye last night. If the...

Crocodile Tears for a Woman Scorned

2008-09-10T17:23:47Z

Michele Greppi: Ouch!! In one of the most brutal strategic betrayals in "Big Brother" history, Memphis single-handedly voted Keesha, who engineered the revolt that saved him from being evicted, out of the house. He kept Geezer Jerry, the most annoying...

That Dan Is One Smooth Operator

2008-09-08T22:15:18Z

Michele Greppi: There’s less than two weeks to go before the jury of (mostly) disaffected, disgorged “Big Brother 10” houseguests votes on who played the game well enough to get the $500,000 top prize. Dan, the Catholic school teacher and...

Keesha, Keesha, Keesha

2008-09-05T20:25:48Z

Michele Greppi: Renny, the dawlin’ from N’awluhns, is headed for a reunion in the “Big Brother 10” sequester house. Dan won the competition for Head of Household on last night’s live eviction show, beating out his secret Renegade alliance partner...

1 POV Played = 1 Peeved AARPer

2008-09-03T15:47:36Z

Michele Greppi: Renny’s fate seems all but sealed after the broadcast last night of the Power of Veto ceremony in which Memphis took his fellow (and covert) Renegade Dan off the block, leaving only Renny to replace him. Keesha is...

Pull the Plug on Jerry-atrics, Please

2008-09-01T16:35:08Z

Michele Greppi: Geezer Jerry is in heaven. He’s got a captive audience. He’s telling his wheezer stories ad nauseam. He’s torturing his four “Big Brother 10” housemates with his banal bad sportsmanship. He’s headed for the final three. Watch CBS...

From Obama to Oh. My. Gawd.

2008-08-29T16:26:19Z

Josef Adalian: To borrow a song title: Oh, what a night! And I'm not just talking the "Brother." Here on the West Coast, Barack Obama served as the warm-up act for one of the best hours of "Big Brother" drama...

Not-So-Jolly Ollie’s Folly

2008-08-27T20:14:30Z

Michele Greppi: And another one bites the dust. No, Joe, not Michelle, although Dan broke his deal with Ollie and put her on the block after Memphis used the Power of Veto he won to take himself off. I mean...

The Dan-dy Man Can! Maybe

2008-08-25T16:32:47Z

Josef Adalian: The full extent of Dan's HOH deal with Ollie revealed itself Sunday night, Ms. Yin. I'm not sure which party to the deal is more annoying. On the one hand, Dan is way too impressed with himself for...

Sunset for April and Vines for Ollie, Et Alii

2008-08-22T17:54:04Z

Michele Greppi: Snaps to April for the best eviction interview of “Big Brother 10.” She was smart, and quick, and soft, and oh-so-funny Valentine-ish. Yes, she said to host Julie Chen, in response to Ollie’s recorded farewell, she will be...

Dan, You're So Not the Man

2008-08-20T15:58:37Z

Josef Adalian: So Dan, who claims he's been throwing competitions, finally won some power this week. And what did he do with it? Not surprisingly, the little man with a big mouth did a lot of huffing and puffing that...

Wrangling With Renny's Reasoning

2008-08-18T15:54:41Z

Michele Greppi: Well, Joe, it’s hard to tell where things are going yet this week. Renny, the wacky lady from New Orleans, is playing like a wild card since she won Head of Household last week. It did seem that...

Libra Moves Out, Karma Moves In

2008-08-15T15:57:20Z

Michele Greppi: My, oh, my. Cotton candy wouldn’t have melted in Libra’s mouth after she got evicted by a unanimous vote last night. As if we hadn’t all been witness to her more vicious verbiage since “Big Brother 10”...

Tuesday: Libra's a Goner … or Is She?

2008-08-13T20:58:59Z

Josef Adalian: Things weren’t looking good for Libra on Tuesday’s episode of “Big Brother.” Jerry—the elderly Marine who’s all bark and zero bite—declined to use the POV, allowing Libra to remain on the block with Keesha. Unless Michelle suddenly...
