Big Brother: The 11 Dumbest Moves Ever
Big Brother 10
How Big Brother 10's Dan Talked His Way to $500,000
After a long summer of manipulation, betrayal and all the other underhanded adjectives that go along with Big Brother, Catholic school teacher Dan Gheesling was crowned the game's winner by a 7-0 vote from his evicted peers. We caught up with him to learn his plans for the cash after besting his "Renegade" ally, what he believes was the defining moment of his game (which might surprise you), how he really feels about Keesha and when he'll be heading to confession. TVGuide.com: Congratulations! What are your plans for the $500,000?Dan Gheesling: It's very overwhelming. I do have some plans, but I'm not sure how immediate they will be. My girlfriend Monica is probably going to be getting a gift that fits on her left ring finger, but when that's going to happen, we still need to talk about. Other than that, it will probably be some smart investments. I want to stay in teaching a
It's Official: The Winner of Big Brother 10 Is…
The following post contains spoiler information regarding the winner of Big Brother 10.After a summer of lying, backstabbing and hooking up (you know, the usual Big Brother stuff), a winner has been crowned. Dan, the Catholic school teacher from Michigan was chosen as this season's champion and winner of $500,000 in a 7-0 vote by the jury of evicted houseguests. Dan was a favorite among fans all summer, being chosen as America's Player midway through the game. (He was also consistently at the top of our weekly Power Ranking polls.)Dan was sitting in the final two beside his "Renegade" alliance member Memphis, who took home $50,000 for coming in second. Also, Keesha, a Final Four housguest and former alliance member of both Dan and Memphis, earned $25,00 after being voted America's Favorite Juror. (Read our special recap of the finale here.)Did the right player win? Were you pleased with America's choice of favorite juror? Also, if you have questions for either of the Final Two, shar...
Big Brother 10's Jerry: "I Don't Have to Apologize"
Jerry MacDonald made history before he ever walked through the Big Brother house's front door by being the oldest person ever cast for a reality TV show. And then the 75-year-old made memories by fondling a fellow houseguest two-thirds his age and being in the middle of several of the season's most heated shouting matches. Even so, the great-grandpa from Texas worked his way to the Final 3 before being evicted just short of the prize money. In our chat he tells us why he was so grabby, why he makes no apologies for his behavior in the house and the real reason behind his problems with Dan. TVGuide.com: Getting booted just short of the money can't feel good.Jerry MacDonald: It was a great ride, and I played as hard as I possibly could. I don't feel I have to apologize for any of my actions. I felt good about the people in the end, and in the last half of the season, I tried to play nice to improve my image. To get to the Final 3, I think, was qui
Wig Out: Big Brother 10's Renny on Her Eviction
Between her multiple wigs and boas as vibrant as her personality, Renny Martyn definitely brought plenty of color to the Big Brother house this season. Her antics kept us (and her fellow houseguests) entertained, but her charm was ultimately seen as her biggest threat, causing the other players to evict her rather than possibly sitting beside her at the end. We chatted with Renny about her feelings toward Memphis, her sleepwalking and whether her not her many wigs symbolize her multiple personalities. TVGuide.com: That was maybe the most gracious Big Brother exit we've seen. How are you feeling now? Still no hard feelings?Renny Martyn: I'm feeling wonderful, really good. As much as I a hate not still being there, I'm glad to see the world again. I don't have any hard feelings. I don't blame them for not wanting to take me to the end — they probably wouldn't have won. [Laughs
Big Brother 10's April: Sex, Lies and Videotape
April Dowling said she didn't do anything to deserve being evicted from the Big Brother 10 house. True, she was quite "friendly" (she let a 75-year-old man grab her breasts on Day 1 and a quick YouTube search will return multiple videos of her cozying up with her showmance partner Ollie, obviously forgetting —or not caring — that the camera is always running), but the feeling with the rest of the house apparently wasn't mutual. Though she has no idea how much of her has made its way onto the Internet, we were able to chat about her 4-1 eviction, how she really feels about Keesha and, of course, her showmance. TVGuide.com: How are you doing after your first night out of the house?April Dowling: I'm going on lack of sleep, but that's OK — I haven't been sleeping that well in the house anyway because there are some snoring problems in the house. So me not getting
Big Brother Buff Boy Blames America's Player for Ouster
Last week on Big Brother 10, 22-year-old professional bodybuilder and personal trainer Jessie Godderz was evicted after viewers instructed America's Player, Dan, to vote him out. Now Jessie strikes back, insisting that his game play was "perfect," that one of his house mates was off her meds and that in no way is he arrogant. TVGuide.com: So, Jessie, how are you doing?Jessie Godderz: A little sleep deprived... because as much as people want to point the finger at me, it was taken out of my hands when America told Dan what to do. Initially I felt a little confident in Dan by him saying that $500,000 wasn't worth him going back on his word, and he got paid not even a fraction of that to put me out of the house. Granted, teachers don't get paid that much, but if that's what he wants to stand by, it's just a little hypo
Big Brother's Angie on the House's "Emotional" Vendetta
Much like Steven before her, Angie Swindell had her time in the Big Brother 10 house cut short because of her friendship with house mastermind Brian. Though she joined an alliance to oppose the powers that be (Libra, April and Ollie), the new team's inability to win head of household or power of veto sealed her fate. We caught up with her to chat about why she didn't lobby to stay and whether or not anyone can stop Libra before it's too late. TVGuide.com: So I can't say that this eviction was much of a shock.Angie: Yeah, I definitely had a feeling it was coming, even before the nomination ceremony took place. You always have your hope that the plan to have Dan and Libra go up after the conversations Memphis and Jessie had with Keesha would happen, but you kind of have to take things for what they are. So, when my key wasn't pulled, it wasn't a big surprise. At that point I knew I was
Big Brother 10 Quake Caught on Tape
There's been a lot of random footage floating around that caught Tuesday's Los Angeles-area earthquake. And the measly 5.4 didn't keep Big Brother's camera's from rolling either. Many of the quake-virgins were pretty shaken up (pun intended) about feeling the ground move beneath them – especially Michelle who spoke solely in an "Oh my God!" loop. But Jessie, on the other hand, found the tremor to be the perfect opportunity to take his shirt off for the cameras. Watch it now! | More online videos
America's Player Is Back on Big Brother!

Who do you think should be America's Player?
Big Brother 10's Steven: "I Didn't Agree with My Nomination"
After the majority of the house evicted mastermind Brian, the houseguests set their sights on those loyal to him. Unfortunately for gay rodeo star Steven Daigle, that put him on the nomination block and, ultimately, out the door. We chatted with Steven to talk about how stressful it was in the house, what he thought of Jessie's self-centered goodbye message and who he thinks is ruling the house. TVGuide.com: Even though you were bummed, you seemed also happy to be out of the house….Steven Daigle: Absolutely. I would have loved to go further in the game, but that house is very stressful, very intense. I have a very happy life to go back to, so I'm OK with leaving. TVGuide.com: Were you expecting the house to be less stressful or intense than it was?Steven: I think the hardest thing about the house was the down time, the time that everyone at home doesn't see. You only sleep maybe three or four hours every night because there are alway
Big Brother Evictions Now Call Thursday Home
Starting this coming week, CBS' Greatest American Dog and Big Brother's live eviction show are trading places. On July 30, the Dog show moves to Wednesdays at 8. Big Brother 10's weekly booting airs Thursdays at 8, as of July 31. Friday, Aug. 1, is then my birthday, which isn't entirely related to the above, but still worth mentioning. — Matt Mitovich
Big Brother 10's Brian: "I Went Down Playing"
Not since the days of Dr. Will have Big Brother fans seen a truly ambitious mastermind pulling strings in the house. Big Brother 10's Brian Hart was up to such a challenge, but unfortunately he pulled too many strings way too fast, proudly making deals with almost every person in the house. In the end, his best laid plans turned sour, and the house sent him packing with a stiff 9-1 vote. We caught up with Brian to see if, looking back, he should have slowed down his approach and why he thinks he already knows who will take this season's top prize.TVGuide.com: How disappointed were you to be the first person out of the house?Brian: I am disappointed that I was the first to go, but the thing is, I went down playing. A lot of those people in the house wanted to sit around and pick off floaters for three weeks, and that's just really not my personality. I wanted to get in an
Video Q&A: Julie Chen Previews Big Brother 10
Now playing on TVGuide.com: Big Brother host Julie Chen reveals why the 10th season (premiering Sunday night) is "going back to basics," and identifies the one player most likely to throw the house into upheaval.

Get a Peek of the New Big Brother 10 House
They usually go all out when customizing the new digs for the contestants on Big Brother, but CBS really out-did themselves this time around. Season 10's cast will be living in home where many of the rooms represent a different decades – complete with kitschy '50s, hippy '60s and punk rock '80s. The outhouse-style bathroom with barrel sinks gets our vote for most creative, but then again, the leather-and-zipper bedding set in the '80s bedroom definitely comes in at a close second.
Has Big Brother Found its Most Diverse Cast Ever?
They range in age from a 22-year-old pro bodybuilder to a 75-year-old great-grandfather who has not missed a single episode of Big Brother, ever, and even checks out the After Dark feed on Showtime. (Gramps!!!)Three of the 13 are married, and there's one divorcée. Among their names are a Libra (girl) and a Memphis (guy). The traditionally monochrome house this time will include two African-Americans and one Korean-American.Occupations include a champion bull rider from the gay rodeo circuit, a mixologist-do-not-call-me-a-bartender, a Hooters waitress/PETA member (how does that work?), and a Catholic school teacher who says that had Hillary Clinton won the presidency, he would have moved out of the country.There's also a "proud New Orleans socialite," a preacher's son who doesn't drink, smoke or cuss, a self-described "East Coast firecracker," someone who suffers from OCD, and one "staunch Barack Obama supporter."This, folks, is your cast for Big Brother 10 , premiering Sunday,...
TV Guide Ventures Inside the Big Brother 10 House
What happens when eight journalists are picked to live in a house for 12 hours with no cell phones, Blackberries or contact with their news desks? Well, let me give you a hint — it wasn't pretty! I'm not what you would consider a homebody. However, I spend my life at my computer banging out copy for editorial deadlines. So when I have free time, I'm not fond of spending it in close quarters with random people. So why in the world I offered to spend twelve hours locked in a house with eight strangers for 12 hours on the set of CBS's reality game show Big Brother where contestants from all walks of life go head to head through psychologically grueling and sometimes physically demanding challenges to battle for the title of "Head of Household" is beyond me. Especially since I, unlike the real contestants, wasn't competing for the $500,000 prize. I must have been having a frivol
