What a great show tonight! They're hardly ever this good so late in the season so I greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure if I liked the show so much because Renny left or because Dan won HOH or because there was a visitor in the house or because there's the possibility of a twist still to come.

Speaking of Renny, I wanted her to be evicted tonight but I felt a little bad for her. In all of the years I've watched Big Brother (since the beginning), it's not often that a hamster is evicted and is genuinely so appreciative at this point in the game. Renny certainly could give a lesson to those in the jury house couldn't she?

Libra seemed OK with things and so did Ollie amazingly. Michelle and April? Not so much. April was quite the spiteful bitch. So was Michelle to a lesser degree. I won't blame Michelle as much because she'd been there a week less than April. So could you imagine April just sitting and stewing for two weeks? I actually feel sorry for Libra! I never thought I'd live to see the day I ever felt that and it took a lot out of me to even type that out.

April thinks she was the one that was able to leave the house with her dignity intact? Her comments on Keesha's weight were beyond catty. The last time I looked, Keesha didn't need to lose any weight. OK, well not if you count the pounds of makeup on her face. But Keesha fat? April seriously needs glasses or a major reality check or perhaps even a knock upside the head. That bitch ain't all there in the personality (or chastity) department -- but then we all knew that. I can see her going major stalker on Ollie in a matter of weeks after the season ends.

I really wanted Memphis to win the HOH competition tonight but I was perfectly fine with Dan winning it as well. I was just glad that Keesha didn't win it. She did a horrible job in that competition. I guess she feels a little too safe. I have a feeling she's going to wish she had studied those pictures more earlier and had tried harder tonight.

The luxury competition announcement at the end of the show tonight was fantastic. So at stake is a trip outside the house complete with a twist that could change the game? Oh please Big Brother gods, don't let me down. Don't let any of us down. It'll be nice to have a little excitement going on at this late stage of the game and give them all something to think about.

In case you didn't catch the end of the show, Julie told us that on Tuesday (8:00 PM ET/7:00 PM CT) there will be another live show "featuring" the final veto competition and then the live veto meeting and eviction. She didn't say the veto competition would be live so it will probably be held on Saturday as normal. At least that's what I'm thinking.

One week from tonight, there will be another live show where the final HOH is crowned. In other words, the first two parts of the HOH competition will have already happened between Tuesday evening and the start of Thursday's show. The third and final part of the HOH competition will be live for the viewing audience. And then that HOH will evict one more person bringing the hamsters down to two. Then it'll be a waiting game until the finale on September 16th.

While I've been typing this, Dan managed to retrieve a clue from the sumo wrestler's ass. Trust me, it sounds dirtier than what it really was. The wrestler was sitting on a clue in a black envelope that Dan managed to quickly grab when the wrestler stood up. The note from Big Brother congratulated them and told them they've officially launched a very special luxury competition. It also said that the winner of that competition would be awarded a trip out of the house that could impact the game. The note finished with Big Brother telling them that they'll be given more details tomorrow. The sumo wrestler then stood up, bowed to them, and walked to the storage room to fade into black.

So what did you think about the show tonight? How did you think Renny's eviction go? Are you happy that Dan won the HOH competition? What are your thoughts on this luxury competition? It's so close to the end of the game and it even includes a trip out of the house? It could impact the game? What do you think is going on?
