RealityBBQ – Big Brother 12 on CBS and Reality TV News, Rumors, Spoilers

JULIE: Dan, you’ve just won a half a million dollars. How does it feel to be the winner of Big Brother 10?

DAN: It’s very hard to fathom at this point–500 thousand dollars is a lot of money, but being a big fan of the show, winning this is like a dream come true, and I couldn’t have done it without the renegade brother Memphis.

JULIE: Is that true Memphis?

Memphis: It is true.

Julie: Does he deserve to win over you–the half million dollar grand prize?

MEMPHIS: You know of anybody in the cast to win, I would want him to win. I’m very happy for him and we’ve become very very good friends over the course of time.

JULIE: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH HALF A MILLION DOLLARS DAN?

DAN: GOOD QUESTION. MY GIRLFRIEND BACK THERE WILL GET A NICE PRESENT THAT MAY FIT ON HER RING FINGER, WHO KNOWS, BUT UM. THE REASON I CAME ON BIG BROTHER, I LOVE MY JOB AT ST. MARY’S–HOPEFULLY I STILL HAVE IT. AND BEING A TEACHER, HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ALLOW ME TO STAY THERE FOR THE REST OF MY CAREER.

Julie: What does it take to win this game?

Dan: Memphis and I can both speak on the fact that we kept a cool head for the most part. We saw a lot of people self-destruct in this game.

DAN: The first handful of people went down by their own hand and I think because we never really self-destructed that’s a major component coming into this house.

MEMPHIS: I WASN’T GOING TO CHANGE WHO I WAS FOR THIS GAME, AND I HAVEN’T.

JULIE: AND Dan, how about you. You didn’t lose your cool. Is that how you are in real life?

Dan: Pretty much. There’s a couple times when maybe I get called a name, but one thing I have in real life is a sharp tongue, and if I would’ve let that sharp tongue loose, I would not be here.

JULIE: HOW DID YOU CONTROL IT?

Dan: 500-thousand dollars.

Julie: you can zip it up for that for sure…what did you miss most?

Julie: aww, their girlfriends.

Julie: WELL, YOU GUYS CERTAINLY EARNED THIS. FOR YOU MEMPHIS 50-THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND DAN HALF A MILLION…WELL DONE. LET’S HEAR IT FOR THE FINAL 2 GUYS.

Keesha: I’m Keesha, and I know how to work it
KEESHA: Thank you. Its really nice not to be on the block, this makes me think that Dan would actually want me in this house over memphis
MEMPHIS: YEAHHH
DAN: Memphis, congratulations, you won Stairway to Veto
KEEHSA: You’re evicting me aren’t you
MEMPHIS: No i’m not, stop
KEESHA: You guys are voting me out.
DAN: You guys?
KEESHA: Memphis is voting me out tomorrow
DAN: Okay
MEMPHIS: I vote to evict Keesha
JULIE: Keesha, you have been evicted from the big brother house.

JULIE: Keesha you’re sitting here right now because Memphis betrayed you. How are you feeling right now and how are you feeling about Memphis?
KEESHA: Um, i’m not going to lie. I’m very hurt, it hurt my feelings so much. I couldn’t stop crying the other night.

Keesha: Are you going to at least tell me? Or are you going to tell me why?
Memphis: I’m just going to say I’m sorry.

JULIE: We saw your emotions go all over the place in this house, at times there was a lot of anger, tears, what was it about this house that brought out those emotions in you?
KEESHA: This house is so surreal. You’re in there with all these people, with all these different personalities, and you’re constantly being talked about. In life normally you wouldn’t put yourself in that situation but you have no choice, you know you have to be around these people so you know my emotions were just all over the place.
JULIE: You said that you were one of the people in the house that probably knew this game the least, and yet you made it to the final four. What does it take to survive in this house?
KEESHA: I don’t think you can be too upfront too fast.
JULIE: Does this house make you paranoid?
KEESHA: This house makes you very paranoid, I’m probably going to hear voices for a very long time
JULIE: Thank you keesha
KEESHA: Thank you.

Renny: I’m Renny and you can’t start the party without me.
Renny: Hey this is my boo!
Renny: MARY, SAINT JOSEPH, ITS LOCKED!
Memphis: But I have decided to use the power of veto on Dan.
Jerry: Renny, I have to nominate you.
Renny: I’m on the block with a friend, I mean Memphis can kiss my ass!
Julie: By a vote of 2 to zero, Renny you are evicted from the big
brother house.

JULIE: Renny you seemed to be in an alliance that was going to take you to the final four. But it didn’t. What went wrong?
RENNY: well we were so excited because we were going to be the final four, but um, then we were going to get jerry out. However jerry won the head of household.
JULIE: At age 54 you are the oldest woman to ever play this game, and you made it so far. Don’t you feel proud of yourself! Don’t you feel proud for making it this far in the game?
RENNY: I’m very proud of what I did and I hope my children are proud.

Renny: I’ll never forget you doll. Remember that, when I met you I knew we had something. It’s good.

JULIE: Why would you choose not to campaign for votes to stay when you were up there this week with your friends.
RENNY: It had absolutely nothing to do with her being my friend, it really didn’t, it was a gut feeling I had.
JULIE: other than, yeah you might win a half-million dollars, why did you go into the big brother house.
RENNY: it’s one of my favorite shows, and yeah even when my husband he’s been away I said “don’t call me during big brother right? Don’t you dare call” so to actually be sitting here and be in the house is just, its just incredible.
JULIE: Thank you so much
RENNY: I appreciate it julie.
JULIE: good luck to you.
RENNY: I can’t even believe I’m sitting here looking at you, right now.

APPLAUSE

INTERVIEW:
Julie: You showed a range of emotions while in the house. What are you feeling right now?
MC: I’m angry. I’m sad. I’m angryJulie: What does it take to make it in this game? Well, I guess I didn’t stab enough, lie enough, cheat enough.
Julie: Was this experience what you thought it was going to be?
MC: (laughs) You can’t even imagine…
Julie: there is no preparing for this game…
MC: I mean..
Julie: and you watched?
MC: Season 1, Day 1, and I just want to say sorry to everybody that I laughed at, that I said why are they acting like that, I would never be like that, because…
Julie: You became that?
MC: and more…but the best part is, I will do that in a millisecond again, so All-Stars, call me I’m single ready to mingle..laughs
Julie: thank you so much Michelle, you did a great job

Julie: Tonight, 2 of you will be leaving the house. That’s right, it’s a special double eviction. I have to nominate Jerry and Ollie. Ollie you are evicted from the Big Brother House.

INTERVIEW:
Julie: Earlier we saw Michelle get the boot and now here you sit evicted. How surprised are you?
BO: To say that I’m surprised would be an understatement.
Julie: You don’t drink, you don’t swear. You didn’t drink at all while you were in the house. The swearing..
BO: I had a couple foul words, but I stand true to say I don’t curse, those were just dirty words.
(Ollie breaking stuff and cursing)
BO: Dirty words and curse words are two different things. (laughs)
Julie: What do you think your family will say about your relationship with April?
BO: That’s hard to say. I know one thing’s for sure Julie, they want what’s best for me. You’ve seen April, can you blame me for, can you all blame me for dating April?
Julie: Are you glad you signed up for Big Brother?
BO: I don’t have any regrets. I dont’ have any regrets at all because I came out with a winner in April, so that’s way more than half a million dollars.
Julie: There you go. Ollie, thank you.
Ollie: Julie it’s a pleasure.
applause

SHOW CLIPS
April: I’m April. And I know how to handle men.
April: I honestly think of you as a best friend.
Ollie: Is it bad to be sexually attracted to your best friend?
April: No, that’s perfect.
Ollie: My relationship with April is far beyond what some people might call a showmance. It’s something that’s real.
Dan: It’s been my goal in this game to break up April and Ollie. That twosome is going to be broken up no matter what.
April: I’d look really stupid to America if I sat here and went, Oh, I’m not going home. I’m a realist.
Julie: By a vote of four to one, April, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

INTERVIEW
Julie: You said once in the diary room, You gotta play the game, don’t let the game play you. Yet here you are. Did you get played?
April: I think there was parts of the game I definitely got played. I trusted too many people in the game. Kind of put my fate in their hands. Which obviously in turn left me here.
Julie: Let’s talk about Ollie. How serious is this relationship?
April: Obviously, living inside of a house and being with someone 24-7, and getting upset, and not being able to walk away, or even lock yourself in the bathroom because there’s no lock on the door, you can’t even do that, so, it’s very very difficult. So I think once we get into the real world, and things might change a little bit, that’s where we’re really going to find out more about each other and how we can interact with each other on a dailybasis.
Julie: Do you want it to be serious?
April: You know, I’m, I just stuttered there for a moment, um, no, I guess. No, I’m hoping that things work out, but I can’t forsee the future. If I could, I’d be winning a half-million dollars right now, so, obviously I can’t forsee the future. But I hope so. I hope so.
Julie: Was this game everything you expected it to be or was it ten times harder?
April: It was completely different than what I expected. But at the same time I loved every single minute. I would never take back a minute that I spent in that house.
Julie: April, we thank you.
April: Thank you, Julie.
APPLAUSE

Libra: I’m Libra and I’m a mother like no other. Make sure you take care of the kids really good. Make sure you make their appointments, six months coming up.

Michelle: I have nominated you, Libra. It’s really not as much personal for me as strategy.

YELLING.

Michelle: You’re a liar, be gone liar.

Jerry: Out the door.

Libra: Hello. I put in a red unitard. I took the Hawaiian holiday trip. I kicked out her showmance, romance, you’re damn right I’m the target. Julie: By a vote of 6 to zero, Libra, you are evicted from the Big Brother house.

INTERVIEW:
Julie: Libra, six to zero, unanimous, are you surprised?

Libra: No I wasn’t surprised, I felt as though the house was definitely going to do a unanimous vote to evict me out of the house.

Julie: Why, why are you here and not Keesha?

Libra: I’m here because I was the one doing most of the manipulating, but I think we were partners, we were a partnership in that, we kind of ran the house with these webs that we weaved and you know, that’s how it happens.

SHOW CLIPS:
Keesha: You know Libra, the think is, I’ve always stood behind you.

Libra: Okay, so let’s go there then. Because.

Keesha: Okay, so let’s go there then.

Libra: Everybody has said something about everybody in this house.

Keesha: Libra, but I have never, not you.

Libra: I haven’t said anything about you.

INTERVIEW:
Julie: It’s harder than you thought it was gonna be, huh?

Libra: This game is so hard. I thought I was gonna come in, whistle, make a couple people laugh, and before you know it, I was gonna be carrying a bag of money out the door. Uh huh, not so easy.

Julie: It’s mentally draining.

Libra: It’s a definite mental challenge. We have coined the Big Brother house an insane asylum, we’ve asked for straight jackets at some points, it’s been crazy, but I tell you one thing it’s something I’ll never forget.

Julie: Libra thank you so much.

Libra: Thanks Julie.

Julie: You’re welcome.

Applause.

MOMENTS AFTER HIS EVICTION… AND SHE LET HIM KNOW THAT IT WAS AMERICA’S VOTE
THAT SEALED HIS FATE. JULIE CHEN HAS MORE:

Jessie: I’m Jessie, I’m gonna crush this competition.

April: I have nominated you Jessie, and you Memphis for eviction this week. Jessie, people are intimidated, otherwise you wouldn’t be up three out of the four weeks. Memphis is my target this week. Some of my alliance, they want Jessie out because Jessie is targeting them. Well, I don’t care.

Jessie: I’m not the target but, I got nominated. We’ll see how that goes.

Julie: By a vote of 4 to 3, Jessie you are evicted from the Big Brother House.

Julie: Jessie you were not the initial target, Memphis was. So why are you sitting here and not Memphis?

Jessie: Uh, probably because I didn’t make nice with the people I upset.

Julie: Care to name names?

Jessie: Um, I’m assuming the same people I called out for the last two weeks, Keesha and Libra.

Julie: So do you have any regrets?

Jessie: Nope, I have none.

Julie: Well, I have something to reveal to you. Are you familiar with what America’s Player is?

Jessie: Yeah.

Julie: For those who don’t know, America’s Player is someone picked by the public.

Jessie: I’m assuming it’s Dan.

Julie: You’re assuming right. Not only does the public pick who is going to be America’s Player in the house, they also control that player’s vote. So they chose Dan. It was only for this past week. It wasn’t for the entire season of the show. Which means, Dan didn’t have any control over his vote this week.

Jessie: Well America, I would have kept me in, because it would have been a lot funnier. As far as I’m concerned. I don’t see how Memphis is going to spice up anything. But I could be wrong.

Julie: Final thoughts, the way you’re feeling right now, being evicted?

Jessie: Happy because I didn’t last one more week. Because if was going to end up that America was going to vote me out, at least it was this week and I still go home and watch it as opposed to chilling in a house for two months with people.

Julie: In the jury house.

Jessie. Like that.

Julie: So you have your freedom back.

Jessie: Yes.

Julie: Jessie, thank you.

Jessie: Thanks.

Julie: Let’s hear it for Jessie, everybody. APPLAUSE
