Big Brother 10: Week 3

Once again it's Hooters waitress, Keesha, who opens my weekly analysis of Big Brother (and no, this has nothing to due with the fact that she works at Hooters. I merely found her words to be rather prophetic). On Sunday, with Head of Household under her belt, the 30-year-old from Burbank knew the nominations for eviction she was about to make were going to send the Big Brother house into a tizzy: "I'm going to turn this house upside down. I can promise you that much."

Boy, was she right. With power in tow, Keesha, along with her loose faction made up by April, Libra and Ollie, claimed first blood against Angie, Jessie, Michelle and Memphis when Keesha nominated Angie and Jessie for eviction.

"My gut is telling me that I have to put these two people up," Keesha said. "They aren't even going to see this coming."

No, they certainly didn't.

And by earning a win at the Power of Veto competition on Tuesday, Keesha sealed their fates by deciding not to use it on Angie or Jessie, thus ensuring that a member of the house's strongest alliance be sent out the door. The live episode followed two days later, and Angie was unanimously booted off the show.

So Keesha and company are sittin' rather pretty right now, eh? Well, not quite. The house was certainly turned upside down, but its consequences are far from being fully atoned.

Nice to meet you, Miss I've-Underestimated-You-From-The-Beginning

After quietly going about her business during the first few weeks of play, Keesha unleashed a hell storm by putting up 50% of Jessie's side for eviction this week. Better yet, she proved she stands by her word no matter what (much like fellow HouseGuest, Dan) when Keesha stuck to her guns and kept her nominations the same after earning the opportunity to change them by winning the PoV.
HouseGuests relentlessly pressured Keesha to replace Angie or Jessie with hot-mouthed Libra, but Keesha, who gave Libra her word early on in the game that she would never nominate the girl for eviction, held firm, resorting to consult every HouseGuest one by one that she would not even consider changing her nominations under any circumstances (the first time I've ever seen this by the way).

Was this a good move on Keesha's part? Yes and no. Yes in that it proves her word is about as solid as they come. But what must be considered is that her word is with Libra. On this one, I'm with Jessie, who days earlier confronted Keesha and questioned what that word actually proves to the rest of the house, especially when it's with someone (Libra) who's liable to backstab. And since Libra became this loud-mouthed behemoth that the majority of the house wants to see go (for now, at least), Keesha has likely drawn a big ol' target on her back for saving Libra's ass.
