Okay, so many of you don’t know what I mean when I ask: “Has Big Brother 10 “jumped the shark?” To be honest, I didn’t know what the term meant until a few years ago and then some of my friends and I started applying in appropriate areas.
So what does “jump the shark” to you novices mean. Well, here’s the definition from the site that gave us the term, Jump the Shark.
Definition:
It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it the climax. We call it "Jumping the Shark." From that moment on, the program will simply never be the same.

Big Brother 10: The Last Season?
Big Brother has been a regular part of most reality TV fans viewing agenda for many years. It seemed at one point that Big Brother might go on and on forever, but that has changed with Big Brother 10 and the future isn't looking bright.
Since the beginning of Big Brother 10 I have literally receive hundreds of emails from fans asking "Do you think this is the end of Big Brother?" Normally I receive very little email asking about Big Brother's longevity. What little mail I did receive prior to this season usually was questioning my sanity.
I haven't answered any of those emails because I didn't have an answer for them. If this had been 3 years ago I would have answered, "What have you been smoking? Of course there will be another Big Brother!"
For many Big Brother fans it was obvious during Big Brother 8 and 9 that the production team had lost their way. Going to the production team to ask for directions on how to fix Big brother would be about the same as asking a person lost in a forest for directions.

Big Brother 10: The Zodiac Files
Somewhere among 13 contestants on the tenth season of Big Brother lies the winner of a half-million-dollar prize. The show returned to its roots by choosing players who were strangers to each other - no secret couples, partnerships, or alliances at the outset. It's too early in the show to tell who will win, but astrology can give us definite clues to the strengths and weaknesses of each player.

Big Brother 10 - The Earthquake
The HG's react to the 'quake that hit Southern California on Tuesday, July 29th.
Reality TV stars react to the Los Angeles quake
Tuesday's earthquake didn’t last longer than 15 seconds, but it was enough to send some in Hollywood shaking.
At the “Big Brother” house in Studio City, the tremors sent the houseguests on CBS’s reality series running for the “backyard”; the house is built inside a soundstage. Because “Big Brother” cast members aren’t allowed any communication with the outside world, producers informed them of the earthquake over a PA.
“A lot of them are not from California, so this is the first earthquake they’ve experienced,” says series executive producer Allison Grodner. “Everyone was a bit shaken.”
But cameras never stopped taping. The show airs live online 24 hours a day. “We made sure they felt safe. But they went back to business right after,” she said, explaining that they’ve still got to decide who next to eliminate on Wednesday’s episode.

Dick's Blog post
People just have no balls. Am I the only one that says things TO the people I am talking about?
First I will start with last week. My first Real Player show. I heard it was fucked up and not viewable on Real Player. Let me just say this.... Real Player is being pretty ambitious doing this thing, they have never done it before and they are going out of their element and comfort zone by letting me do this. There have been a lot of hurdles and challenges to over come including this week so far. But, once we get this down, we are taking this show on the road boys and girls...
If you missed it this is a download, not a link....
This is the Real Player show with Bridget from The Girls Next Door.

Twist and Quake
According to Brian an TV Guide we should expect a twist. Also since I was up all night (again), I took a long nap and wake up to read about an Earthqukae in California. The Houseguest were told to go to the back yard. Jerry says he thought a car hit the BB House.
America's Player Is Back on Big Brother!
If you like the idea of playing puppet master while watching a highly motivated reality-TV contestant follow your every command, we've got some good news.

Swim Lessens
The Houseguest are out enjoying the nice California weather. Ollie and April working out early. Jerry is upset because Jesse called him Father Time.
Most are laying out and swimming. Dan teaches Ollie and Renny how to swim.
Some are contemplating changing their votes to get Jesse out instead of Angie. Keesha says if they do that, she's afraid it will be harder to get Angie out later on.
Interview with "Big Brother"'s Steven Daigle
Despite lasting only two weeks on CBS' most recent edition of Big Brother, gay rodeo champion Steven Daigle certainly made an impression on viewers. At first, we worried he might be yet another out contestant who would leave us shaking our heads in shame when a clip of him using a racially insensitive term was broadcast on the Big Brother live feed. However, Steven also showed a sense of humor and charm that was hard to resist.
Unfortunately, despite a solid pre-game strategy and some strong first steps, he was undone by his friendship with Brian, the San Francisco account manager who quickly drew the attention of the other houseguests with his aggressive moves. Perceived as a friend and ally of Brian's, Steven was similarly deemed untrustworthy by the alliance led by Jessie. Also viewed as a strong competitor by his housemates, Steven was evicted in a unanimous vote last week.
Still, Steven was an intriguing part of Big Brother 10 and we were happy for the chance to talk with him about his relationships with the other houseguests, his controversial racial comment and the gay rodeo circuit.
AfterElton.com: Once more we have a Big Brother gay contestant out of the competition pretty quickly. Why do you think that that keeps happening?
Steven Daigle: Gosh, I don’t know. You’re making me feel like a huge disappointment. You know, I watched season 8 and Dustin, he made it fairly far – he made it halfway through the season at least. I don’t really think this season had anything to do with the fact that I was gay, I think it was just some of the choices I made. I really wanted to stay longer, I really wanted to make a good showing for the gay and lesbian community. Unfortunately, it just didn’t work out.

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 always people talking or doing something. So you have 20 hours a day to fill with nothing. When you take every single luxury away, you spend that 20 hours a day just sitting around. Everyone thinks it's a dream come true to lay around and do nothing, but it becomes the most stressful aspect of your life.
