*Keesha, 29, blond bombshell who works at Hooters. Reminds us of Danielle D.* -- Props to CornerOfficeX

georgiapeach · « **Reply #1 on:** July 08, 2008, 02:55:10 AM »

Age: 29
Hometown: Burbank, CA via Sterling, OH
Occupation: Waitress
Marital Status: Single

Keesha is a blond bombshell originally from Sterling, OH. She graduated from high school and came out to Los Angeles to pursue a career in modeling. She now works at Hooters, which she loves. Keesha considers Hooters an important part of her life. She has been featured in Hooters calendars and aspires to become part of the management team. She loves animals and has a Shih Tzu named Gizzmo and is a proud member of PETA. She doesn't eat red meat and her favorite food is pizza hands down.

She is very close with her mother and has a good relationship with her dad. Her parents are her heroes and she describes them as strong, good people. She loves to watch baseball and like any girl, loves to shop. Her favorite movie is "Thelma and Louise," she loves "The Golden Girls" on television and likes all kinds of music.

Her proudest accomplishment is leaving home, moving to California by herself not knowing a sole, and establishing a life for herself. She is most ashamed that she dated a friend's ex-boyfriend soon after their breakup while her friend was still in love with him. Her idea of the perfect day is being on the beach with a cute guy by her side.
Her life's motto is that you only live once, so have some fun.

Her birth date is August 1, 1978.

Keesha in the CBS cast video: “I do think that it’s gonna help me working at Hooters. All the drama, all the backstabbing. Same thing.”

There's backstabbing at Hooters? Did she really compare working at Hooters to the game of Big Brother?

I'm not sure what I think of her yet. Hate to judge a book by the Hooters uniform cover, so we'll see if she plays up that stereotype or not. I can see her giving us some good diary room quotes as she plays all the guys.

I'm not getting a lot from this video?

Hooters girl...
In a relationship for a year and a half--he is supportive
She has "recently" become a BB fan

Wants everybody in the house to like her and not see her as a threat
Will need to see the others before she has a strategy
In this for eveything she can get out of it
Hooters fans can be obsessive too
Was for Hillary, now for Obama she guesses
Doesn't think there is anything in her past that will suddenly appear
picky eater
Not afraid to lie

And is she missing a tooth?

Looks like BB recruited her, so that's why she packed her Hooters t-shirt... I bet she wears it during the show to give the restaurant some shameless promotions.

Now if she only brought the orange shorts too....

eta: BTW, asked around, and I've been told that the name "Keesha" is not connected with any pictures in any Hooters calendar from 1999 thru 2008.

Unless she used a different name, her bio is incorrect.

I was right, she's from the Pasadena Hooters.

She does sound like Dani, but all bleach blondes in SoCal are "valley girls". This is scary, but she may be what Dani looks like in 10 years.... NO DIFFERENCE!

purpie · « **Reply #57 on:** September 10, 2008, 03:55:00 PM »

I watched Keesha today on House Calls. She handled herself very well, trying to be both truthful & tactful. There were a lot of questions & I made some notes but these are not exact quotes.
Q- Do you hold a grudge against Memphis?
A- A little bit.
Q- What do you think about Dan taking Michelle on the trip?
A- Dan mentioned it because he wants my help getting Michelle's vote in the jury house.
Q- How do you think Dan is playing the game?
A- Smart. I think he may have known I was being evected but he stepped up & was there for me.
Q- What was your favorite moment?
A- Winning HOH on double eviction day.
Q- What was the hardest part of being in the house?
A- Being secluded with so many back stabbing people.
Q- What was the real reason you evicted ANgie? Were you jealous?
A- I liked Angie, but she was a strong player. Guys loved her. She could say stuff, sit back & others would carry stuff out for her.
Q- Would you do All Stars & who from your season would you want to be there?
A- Yes, Renny.
Q- Why were you nice to Jerry?
A- Never for the game, I felt bad for him.
Q- What if you has allied with Ollie & Michelle?
A- That was never really an option.
Q- What surprised you most?
A- How dirty people can be. (Clarified to explain things others said knowing they were on national TV.)
Q- What advice do you have for future HGs?
A- It's a game. Don't take it to heart.
Q- Who were you more allied with, Renny or the boys.
A- Renny. I trusted her 100%. She probably would have beaten me!
Q- Why didn't you work on Memphis while Dan was away?
A- I was depressed since Renny left. I should have, it may have been my biggest mistake.
Q- How did you deal with anxiety?
A- It was easier with more people. At the end I just slept.

(I think I should make this a 2 parter!)

purpie · « **Reply #58 on:** September 10, 2008, 04:12:40 PM »

(part 2. Remember, these are NOT exact quotes.)

Q- Your birthday was during a big fight. How did you feel?
A- During the song I was thinking. "Are these people crazy?"
Q- What is your jury strategy?
A- If you mean will I try to persuade, yes.
Q- Did you throw the last two comps?
A- I know I wasn't good but no. I panicked on the last POV.
Q- What was your favorite comp?
A- The astronaut, flying.
She was then asked for a 1 word reaction to everyone:
Brian- Arrogant
Jessie- Full of himself
Steven- A sweetheart
Ollie- Quiet
Jerry- Old
Dan- Genuinely nice
Memphis- Conniving (interesting, I've always thought he was a con man)
Angie- Smart
Libra- Conniving
Michelle- Strong
April- Self centered
Renny- Outgoing, fun

Q- What was your least favorite comp?
A- The vine, because your legs got all tingly.
Q- Who will you keep in touch with?
A- Renny, possibly Dan.
Q- Were you at all attracted to Memphis?
A- No, he's too young. I prefer older men.
Q- Who was the most fun?
A- Steven, Renny, Dan.
Q- How did you feel about eating slop?
A- Not as bad as some said, the monotony was the worst part. It's kind of like oatmeal.
Q- What's the first thing you'll do when it's all over?
A- Hug my dog, hug my boyfriend (in that order!) I have a nephew I've never met so I'm going to Ohio to meet him.

I felt the need to give back to this wonderful site.Hope you all enjoy!

Keesha wasn't exactly ~~honest~~ forthcoming with her answers about Angie, or about working on Memphis the day of Dan's trip!!!! We all heard her--she was jealous of Angie, and Angie's
relationship with the guys. It came up in the HOH as recently as 3 nights ago. The night before Dans' trip--she drank a bottle of wine(minus a short half glass). She was hungover, and sick.
She said so several times before Dan even left.

Exit interview with ew.com

Keesha Smith, Big Brother 10's 29-year-old Hooters waitress from Burbank, Calif., talks to EW.com about her disdain for Memphis, that floater Jerry, and the message she received from Dan on the way out of the house.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So how are you feeling about Memphis this morning?
KEESHA SMITH: I’m not liking Memphis too much this morning.

In the episode, we really didn’t see Memphis explain why he was going to evict you. Did he say something to you that we didn’t see at home?
He never gave me any kind of explanation. He got up out of the chair and avoided me the rest of the time. I confronted him but he got up and he walked out of the room. He came to the sauna room and expected me to hug him!

Do you think there is anything you could have done differently?
I guess the only thing I could have done was maybe not be so friendly with Dan. That had a lot to do with it. If it came down to Memphis and Dan, I would have picked Dan in the end instead of him, and he saw my relationship with Dan getting stronger. That scared him.

Do you think Memphis was working with anyone in the house? Do you think he’s in an alliance with Jerry or Dan?
I’m not sure. There is so much going through my mind. There has to be something with Jerry in order for him to save Jerry. He couldn’t stand Jerry! I’m trying to put myself in his shoes. Jerry is more of a safe bet. He can beat Jerry in the competitions.

Why do you think Dan told you about taking Michelle?
I think that Dan told me about Michelle so I could work on votes for him in the jury house. He’s a smart guy.

What do you think about Dan taking Michelle to the island? What will that mean to the jury?
I don’t know if Dan has that good of a chance of winning this game. He’s done crazy things to people as far as hurt people’s feelings. If the jury looks at him as a game player -- and he’s been a heck of a game player -- he could win. He’s thrown some twists and turns in there. Out of the three left, he’s done a great job.

Dan left behind a cow for you that he said had a message on the bottom. It said hot. What does that mean?
I have absolutely no idea what it means! He kept saying look on the bottom, look on the bottom. When I got out there with Julie, I’m looking at it and it just says hot.

How does it feel knowing that Jerry is in there and you’re not?
Oh...I don’t know what to say. Wow. I feel he got passed along. He kept getting passed along. He’s a 75-year-old man. We kept saying we’ll get him out later, but we all promised we wouldn’t do that. He never had to do anything in the game. Now I’m like, are you kidding me? Dude, you are 75 years old. He didn’t treat me too well. In the beginning, we got along very well, and I tried to show him respect because he’s 75 years old. I would feel sorry for him when he was out wandering by himself. But then I would try to talk to him and he would pop off. Jerry was very arrogant. He never would have gotten away with things in the house if he weren’t 75 years old.

Do you plan to campaign against Memphis in the jury house?
I’m not sure about that.

Who is the person you are not looking forward to seeing in the jury house?
That would be Miss April. We just don’t see eye to eye.

Aren’t you glad you weren’t like April and allowed Jerry to touch your chest on national TV?
I would have never allowed Jerry to do that on the first episode of Big Brother or ever in my life. Period.

Keesha on House Calls....

RealityFreakWill · « **Reply #69 on:** September 11, 2008, 09:41:21 AM »

Exit interview with tvguide.com

As this season of Big Brother winds toward its conclusion, each eviction becomes a little harder to swallow — especially when it's a former alliance member giving you the boot. For Keesha Smith, it was a fellow houseguest who had promised to sit beside her at the end of the game that cast the sole vote to evict her. Here, she sounds off on being betrayed, living and fighting with a 75-year-old man and what's she's most looking forward to in the jury house.

TVGuide.com: I have to say I was a little shocked by your eviction. When did you know something was up?
Keesha Smith: I knew that everything wasn't quite like it should be the night before the eviction. I kind of figured it out, because people and things were odd. It just kind of came to me while I was by myself and thinking. Jerry was being exceptionally calm, which is not like him, so I figured he was told he was safe. So, it just kind of hit me, and it was the weirdest thing.

TVGuide.com: And then you confirmed it?
Keesha: When I asked Memphis, his face turned blood red and he couldn't even look at me. He was very awkward, and let's just say, he's not good at lying. So I knew instantly.

TVGuide.com: You've worried a lot about your safety this season, even when it wasn't in question. Was it fear of betrayals like this that always had you uncertain?
Keesha: I never trusted anyone in that house 100 percent. I always went in with the motto that that would be foolish. I never wanted to put my trust in someone because I know how this game works.

TVGuide.com: Do you think this was a plan that started with Renny's eviction?
Keesha: No, I think it came down last minute. When Dan got back from his trip, Memphis started acting a little funny. What it boils down to is Memphis was afraid I would take Dan and that Dan would take me in the end. It started worrying him when he saw that Dan and I were extremely close, and I sort of sensed a couple nights before that he was noticing it. He was just afraid that I wouldn't take him in the end.

TVGuide.com: How close were you and Dan? Your pre-eviction speech made it sound like you really leaned on him the last couple of days.
Keesha: Dan helped me through this a lot. He told me that Memphis mentioned possibly evicting me, and that he was trying to convince him otherwise. But while I was trying to figure out how to handle it, Dan was the best. You're so alone in that house sometimes, and he stood beside me the whole time. Jerry wouldn’t speak to me, Memphis avoided any room that I was in, so Dan told me to sleep upstairs with him. It was so funny — he put the pillows between us in the bed, and it was cute. He just didn’t want me to be alone and was really worried about me. To me, that showed a lot of compassion.

TVGuide.com: Tell us more about Jerry. Why were things so strained between you two sometimes?
Keesha: I'm going to try to put this as nicely as possible. Jerry and I don't see eye to eye so much. He's 75 years old, so I always try to put that in perspective and treat him with respect. We got along at the beginning of the game, but he doesn’t talk to women very well. [Laughs] I guess that's the best way to put it. I can tell that he's a guy's guy.

TVGuide.com: Despite all that, do you think he could win if he makes it to the final two?
Keesha: I actually think that Jerry has a better shot than anyone to win this game right now. People don't have hard feelings toward him as much because he's always tried to smooth things over with everyone before they left the house. I don't know why, but I just think that if Jerry is given the chance, he just might be given the money.

TVGuide.com: Speaking of hard feelings, do you take Memphis evicting you personally, or do you respect it as a gameplay?
Keesha: I'm sitting here now because someone I considered a very good friend of mine evicted me. It's hard not to look at it personally, because I could be in that house right now if it weren't for him. I carried him through in this game, so he's never had to do anything or step up and be the bad guy. It was always me sticking my neck out for him. So, for him to do that to me, it hurts. But, I do understand that he was too afraid to take me and that it was risky.

TVGuide.com: So did it cost him your vote if he makes the Final 2?
Keesha: I have a lot of things to consider.

TVGuide.com: How shocked were you to learn that Dan took Michelle on his trip?
Keesha: [Laughs] I was very shocked, but that was a smart play.

TVGuide.com: Why do you think he fessed up before you left the house?
Keesha: I think Dan definitely wants me to work for him. There's no doubt about that.

TVGuide.com: And will you?
Keesha: Hmm… I don't know. [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Is that perhaps because you don’t think Dan was blameless in your eviction?
Keesha: Let's put it this way: I don't think Dan was completely blindsided.

TVGuide.com: Are you looking forward to the jury house?
Keesha: I can't wait to see Renny. I'm excited about it. I really missed that lady.

Exit interview with buddytv.com

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.

How are you feeling right now? It must be a little bit frustrating making it this far and then getting evicted.

Well obviously I am not happy with being out of the house. Its very hard to leave so late in the game after all there is only a week left.

Are you happy with the way you played the game? Why?

I am happy with the way I played because I felt like I really did my best and that's all you can do.

Is there anything you wish you had done differently in the game? Why?

I wish I would of gotten rid of Memphis when given the chance because I see he had no problem doing it to me.

Who do you wish you would have had a better in-house relationship with? Why?

I wish that maybe April and I could of gotten along a little better because I felt at times we looked a little foolish.

If you had to do it all over again, how would you change your gameplan?

I would not of kept Memphis around. I wish that I would have gotten rid of him. It was so easy for him to do it to me.

Who are you most/least looking forward to seeing in the jury house? Why?

I cant wait to see Renny!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I have been lost without her. Renny always makes me feel better and I could use that right now. I really don't look forward to seeing April even though I am sure she will be thrilled to see me!!!!!!

What are you going to base your final jury vote on?

I am going to base my vote on the way the person played the game. Memphis was a coward and hid behind the rest of the players and never put himself out there to make any moves and I don't consider that a good game player.

What are your plans for after Big Brother?

I just want to see my loved ones and my little dog gizmo.
