Big Brother: Renny - "This House Is Getting On My Tits"

It's what? the others ask. "What, you never heard of that?" She says, when she's asked to repeat it three times. I can honestly say that I've never heard it before. The others agree with me. They say the same thing. "It's my husband's expression." She explains. And boy is it colorful. Plus, it fits her mood. And Renny's definitely in a mood. Welcome back to Big Brother 10. We're getting near the end. Nerves are strained. Those in alliances will eventually be forced to eat their own, if they want to win that is. After all, this is a game. And what a game it is. After this week's double eviction there are only five house guests left: Memphis, Dan, Jerry, Keesha and Renny.
"Little bastard. Wanted me to go home. Didn't he?" Renny says about Dan. She purses her lips. She looks really pissed. This house is definitely getting on her tits. Thing is, she's not even on the block. Keesha reminds her of this, again and again. But Renny says, "Being on the block don't mean shit anymore." I think Renny's afraid of the big, ole back door. Besides, just the intention of putting her up, is enough to get on her tits.
"What are you eating Keesha?" Memphis asks.
"Sweet and salty. My favorite she says, crunching loudly. It's the only sound one hears. If we could only hear their thoughts we'd get an earful. Then again, maybe not.
Keesha continues munching so loudly I want to slit my throat. Instead I turn the sound down. See, she does eat. Just not dinner. They're all bored out of their minds. They're boring me. They wish, aloud, repeatedly for a luxury competition, or a movie.
"It's gonna be a long fricking week here." Renny says, arms crossed across her chest. My God!"
"A long week in the big brother house!" Keesha mocks.
Renny seemed really, really mad at Dan Friday night. I only hope it's because they're catching on to him. "You're sitting pretty. You all know that." She says that to Dan and Keesha who are the ones actually on the block for eviction this week. But it's Renny who does not feel safe. She knows that Keesha's practically golden with Memphis and Dan, and now again with Jerry. Right now he's finally the man. But Keesha says she's only as safe as anyone else on the block. Renny scoffs. She knows that all of the guys like Keesha.
Memphis says that he trusts her completely. "I have no doubt that she would not, at this point, go to bat for us."
But here's the thing Memphis, she hasn't thus far. Why would she now? I wish I could reach through theTV screen sometimes to explain a few things. I do believe Keesha cares for you. I do believe that she's your friend. But she hasn't fought for you. She hasn't defended you. Yet they called her up to express their worry about Renny. Once again Memphis doesn't go to Renny directly. I thought that they'd finally smoothed things over this week too! But no. Apparently he still expects Keesha to go smooth things out for him with Renny. I don't understand why Memphis doesn't see it. Keesha won't do any such thing. Why, oh why won't Memphis ever speak with Renny directly? He considers her a part of his alliance. And she still doesn't have a clue. That makes two of them. He doesn't have one either. He still has no idea that she doesn't trust him. Of course that may be the least of their worries this week. Renny's not in charge. Jerry's in charge. Besides, Memphis just might have to do the very thing Renny's feared from him, from the beginning. If he wins the POV, and pulls Dan off of the block, Renny will be put up for eviction. That's why she's in such a miserable mood. It's not going to be a very pleasant week. One by one they will have to leave. Only two will stand in the end. I just don't want one of the two to be Dan. I'm pretty sure Renny would agree.
"When her step daughter says something, she doesn't get mad. But when your son you get mad." Dan says weirdly to Renny Friday night. I guess Keesha's supposedly playing the surrogate stepdaughter. He's insinuating that he's like her son.
"Honestly I'm gonna beat the shit out of you. I'm serious." She says. Then she asks him to repeat what he just said again. This time Renny drops the F bomb. "I'm gonna pretend you never even said that. There's something fucking wrong with you right now." Renny's not even playing. She's dead serious. The mood's no longer light in the room.
"You're the one that needs to calm down.....
