The Coup D'etat Returns as Banana Exits Big Brother 11

Big Brother 11 live shows just keep getting better and better each week as a triple wammy hit the Big Brother house tonight. It all started with Julie letting us know that the cliques would be gone but wait... that is not all! Another twist would be introduced to the game and America has the power. Before we get to that fun lets take a look at the power-veto action as Jeff, Jordan and Casey realized they were lied to by Jessie. They all bashed him and everyone for following him and they realized the issue: they are not sheeps. While Jordan figured she was safe as yet another pawn, Casey sprung into action and tried to convince Kevin and Russell to stay. Kevin put him up to the task, saying Lydia and he would vote to save Casey if the votes were there, so Casey tried.

It seems that Casey did get through to Russell and he did have good points. With Casey still in the house, Russell had someone who he knew would go after Jessie. It took some coaxing, but it seems that Russell finally realizes how close Jessie and Natalie are. While Casey tried to save himself, Lydia's stranger side was shown. They made her out to be a stalker of Jessie, showing her walk into his room while he slept and simply watch him. She claims that she likes to watch him sleep and could use that time to seek revenge *cue crazy psycho music here*. It was funny, and somewhat right, but I would never have seen it that way. Oh the poor edits that Lydia gets. She goes from the girl everyone loves, the fighter to the psycho. What will she be edited into next?

Before we got to the good stuff there was our first at-home segment with Jordan's and Jeff's families discussing their showmance. Both families believe they are a good match, considering they are so alike, while the two never really seem to actually BE in a relationship. They seem more friends from what I saw but of course we know there is probably more. Both families were rather nice about their loved one and the game. I'm sure things will change as we go along and get some crazy family members as in the past, but tonights was just kind of a filler if you ask me.

Now onto the good stuff: the live portion of the show. Julie went right for the kill tonight as she asked both Lydia and Natalie to explain why they don't like each other. Neither would come out and say that it was Jessie that they were fighting for and Jessie wouldn't even say it in the HoH. Julie also grilled him there, talking mostly about his relationships with Lydia and Natalie. They are kind of side-stepping the actual "under the covers" romance of Lydia/Jessie and focusing more on Natalie/Jessie so its interesting. But even more fun came out during the nomination speeches yet again!

Jordan spoke first and said simply that she wanted to be there and that she wanted to repeat everything from last week. Then it was all up to Casey who came out in full force, taking longer then I'm sure they wanted but it was all worth it. He called out Ronnie and Jessie for being rats and lieing. He also called out everyone for following what Jessie says and you could tell nobody was expecting it. Luckily we got to hear everything this time as CBS didn't bleep it out and thankfully they didn't as it was priceless. It was then time for the vote which ended up, as planned, with Casey going. Although Russell did give his vote to Jordan, which I'm sure people will go crazy about. Hey, maybe they will blame Ronnie for it!

As he left Casey went for Jessie again, once again saying that he lied and will lie to everyone still in the game. Jessie didn't fight back but Natalie did, screaming at Casey for breaking his word first. I hate that Natalie ALWAYS jumps into the fights but hopefully she'll be following him out the door. Outside Casey got a huge applause from the crowd. He talked to Julie briefly about how he trusted Jessie and that was the only reason he was outside. Little does he know Russell was the vote to save him and sadly Julie didn't tell him.

When she was done with Casey, Julie then called everyone back to the living room where she broke up the cliques and revealed a new power to them. She told them that it would be chosen by America and of course had to remain a secret. They have done the coup d'etat before in All Stars but I'm not sure if anyone will believe it is that again. It didn't work before, but hopefully America chooses the right person and it will for once be used! It could really shake up the game especially depending on which side has the coup and which side has HoH and I'm sure they'll be going crazy trying to figure out what it is. Should be fun to watch.

That then led into the next HoH which is endurance. Seems like Jessie always misses out on the endurance challenges doesn't he? Could this spell doom for the "young gunz"? We'll have to wait and find out. It was his downfall before and hopefully it will be again. This time around the 9 playing for HoH are sitting on a small seat which is suspended from the air. They are then spun around in a circle while being whacked into a large foam diploma and of course being sprayed on as if it was raining. It was hilarious the first time they hit the diploma and you could hear the crown roaring in laughter. They really should include the crowd soundtrack during the show as it made it ten times better to hear people laughing with you! As of now the challenge is still on going.
