Give it up for The Renegades. They did it. Even if you take umbrage with their tactics (you shouldn't), you've got to admit that they played a spectacular game. Dan and Memphis took the Big Brother house by storm, especially in the latter half of the Big Brother 10 season. Jerry met his maker tonight, and it was not unexpected. The only thing up in the air was which Renegade would be given the symbolic final Head of Household perch. Other than that, the final two was already established before the night began (if you were paying attention to spoilers, that is). We have our Big Brother final two, folks, and it'd be hard to argue that they weren't the two most deserving Big Brother houseguests.

It has been a long, arduous, occasionally hate-filled journey, my fellow Big Brother enthusiasts, but the final eviction episode of the season is upon us. Julie Chen is three episodes away from being put back in her cryogenic chamber, only to be let out for a few hours each morning, but mostly Mrs. Bot will be hibernating until next July. Three will become two tonight inside the Big Brother house, and the masses will either rejoice or shrug indifferently. For those of you watching Hole in the Wall instead of Big Brother (or instead of anything else you could possibly waste your time on, including sewing or yodeling or staring at your bathroom tile panels), how dare you. Hole in the Wall is murderer of brain cells, a destroyer of hope, a vanquisher of good taste. Watch Big Brother - at least it requires minimal mental involvement. I'll be here all night, ground-pounding my thoughts on the goombahs of the world.

Taking the time to reminisce, looking back on the season that's almost fully passed us by, one begins to ponder why exactly in played out as it did. Big Brother 10, its legacy will not be formed in the near future, but only after the fans have had time digest the season as a whole. For now, it's easy to presuppose that Big Brother 10 will be remembered as the season of The Renegades. Dan and Memphis have absolutely without question dominated the field in the latter half of the Big Brother season. Dan has been the puppet master, purveyor of shenanigans. Memphis has been the steady, below-the-radar foil, perfectly matching Dan's overt game playing with a more subtle, yet equally effective game. Most importantly, the two have worked together impeccably, conspired, executed and have never wavered in their two-pronged alliance. But, and this is a big but, none of this great gameplay would have mattered if it weren't for the lengthy string of challenge victories by The Renegades.

Part 2 of the Head of Household is over. Yep, it's done. I won't ruin whether the season is done just yet, because you know that Jerry is the target of Dan and Memphis. The spoilers are below. In part 2 of Big Brother 10's final Head of Household, Memphis faced off against Jerry. Young against old. Lucid against the slightly mad. The odds on Jerry winning coming into the day had to be abysmally low. Generally, the second leg of the final Big Brother Head of Household challenge is a physical one. If that was to be the case, Jerry's chances would be even dimmer. So, what happened? Read on to find out.
POSSIBLY LIFE-ALTERING SPOILERS ARE SITTING RIGHT BELOW THESE LETTERS!!!

Memphis and Dan, you know, they probably did the right thing getting rid of Keesha. Jerry has almost zero chance beating either Renegade in the final multi-part Head of Household competition, whereas Keesha may have had a fighting chance. But, that doesn't make it right. In all likelihood, they would have won out over Keesha. Might as well let her stay in the game. They were all friends and, even if they don't want to admit it, Keesha was a key cog in the alliance that got them this far on Big Brother 10. Keesha was kind enough to complete an email interview with us today after she was evicted from the Big Brother house. You can read the full and unedited transcript below.

Big Brother 10 now only has three houseguests. Tonight's live Power of Veto episode was a sad one, at least for me. For those of you who are waiting for the west coast airing of Big Brother tonight, I won't give anything away. I'll only say that the results have left me very upset. In addition to the live Power of Veto ceremony and subsequent eviction, the final three began the final, three part Head of Household competition. Given the make-up of the final three, the audience probably has a pretty good idea of what the final result will be come Thursday, when the final in-house eviction takes place. The first part of the Head of Household started, and even though it was an endurance competition, it has already ended. Read into that what you will.

Isn't Dan a Catholic school teacher? Boy, he had everybody fooled early in the game. Everyone assumed that because he had a strong religious upbringing and has worked with children, that he would be a stand up, trustworthy player. Boy, were they wrong! This is Big Brother, people, and nobody gets ahead in this game by being an honest person. You have to lie and manipulate, just like Survivor. There's almost no way of getting around it. During my live coverage of the show tonight, I said that Dan is the greatest Big Brother player since Dr. Will and some fans say - he's even better! Here's a look at tonight's recap and the moves Dan made to win himself this game.
** WARNING! ROUND 1 HOH SPOILERS BELOW! **

Dan seems to be sittin' pretty right now in the game of Big Brother. He is HOH, he won a luxury trip with a jury member, and he and Memphis are looking good to win tonight's POV competition. They better because I want to see The Renegades sitting next to each other to battle it out for those final jury votes next Tuesday night. On tonight's episode, we'll find out what happens when Dan takes Michelle out of the jury house and to a private beach for the day. Those two definitely have a lot to talk about! Tonight will also feature a POV competition that will keep us talking all week. It's certainly one of the most important competitions of the entire season and I'll be here all hour covering the episode live. Make sure to keep refreshing and post your thoughts, too!
