Libra is a staunch Obama supporter living in the heart of Bush country. She attended Rice University where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science and Economics. Because of her strong personality, Libra has always stood out in the group at predominantly white schools. She has been married for seven years and has three children: a 4-year old girl and recently gave birth to a medical rarity... 4-month old twins, one black and one white. Her husband is comfortable staying at home with the kids and will be rooting Libra on all the way.

She has a relationship with her mother but doesn't know her father and has only met him one time that she can remember. She considers politics very important and has voted in every election for which she was eligible. She played volleyball in the NCAA Division and loved being a college athlete. She loves to shop, enjoys running, likes to gossip and hang out with family and friends.

Libra describes herself as intuitive and spunky and is most proud of her children. Oprah Winfrey is her hero because she has surpassed all the odds to become a top figure in television where she has influence on the American culture. The men she is attracted to include Jude Law, Rob Lowe, Matthew McConaughey and Nick from Big Brother 8. She'd love to become a singer but doesn't believe it will ever happen.

Her twins are only 4 months old. I can't believe she's leaving them, that seems awfully young. Bad mommy!

I love her. She apparently is secure enough in her relationship to realize her babies will have a loving family around them even if she's not there, and realizes that she'll have an entire lifetime to share with her children.

I feel the same way and am not holding her leaving her children so long against her for that very reason.

don't tell us you have a black and white baby.

I get what you mean, Petunia, and I don't entirely disagree. But, this is possibly 3 months away, not a weekend away with the girls

I think what really bothers me if that if there was a new father of twins in the house, there wouldn't be all this hullabaloo. There might have been a little bit of grumbling but most people accept that fathers might need to be away from the family to try and earn more money for their keeping. But if a woman does it, it's "what kind of mother is she?" It's a terrible double standard that I am not in favor of.

I will hold that haircut against her. Me no likey. Most likely because it reminds me of Chelsia from BB9

As for the money, they looked like their house cost almost as much as she might win. I doubt that she needs the money for their college tuition, even if we had any reason to believe she was going to save it for that.

It seems that if the babies are in good care and she and her husband are on the same page then there is no problem. And I do agree that if it was the dad in the house there would be less debate. I think some people would think well the mom is there and the dad doing what dad's do and trying to secure his family's future. I don't have a problem that the gender's are reversed.

Unless dad can lactate, there is one significant difference. If the twins are stuck sucking down formula just so that mom could be on TV, I'd call that selfish. Four months is kind of early to be weaned.

Babies that young recognize their primary care giver by smell and touch as much as by sight and they derive a big part of their sense of security from that familiarity. If Dad has been their primary care giver all along, then fine, but if they have to undergo a big shake-up in their lives, the kind that babies usually only have to deal with if their mother dies, for no reason except that Mommy can't wait until next year to do a fun thing like go on Big Brother, then I think it's pretty selfish.

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but the good thing about Libra's gameplay on last night's episode was the way she went about getting Brian's nomination. She didn't act like she was trying to manipulate anyone, she had no ego about it. She didn't act like she was trying to stir the pot, you couldn't even tell if she was scheming. She was merely pointing out facts, and people were able to see the light about it. It seemed to me like when you do your game play in that way, people don't begin to think of you as a threat. In fact, you gain goodwill from everybody else and people just think of you as someone who realized something, not someone who tried to manipulate anything.

It was fun to watch her move from small group to small group.

I also appreciated Libra's, "it's not your life, step up off" moment in response to the non-controversy of her non-abandonment of her kids.

I would feel exactly the same way if the father had come on the show. I think a parent leaving kids so small is very shocking when you consider the time and reasons, it doesn't matter which one.

There's a huge difference between saying life doesn't end when you become a mother and saying it's ok to leave your infants for two or three months to go be on a freakin' reality show. I don't think that parents have to be around their kids 24/7; I agree it's healthy for parents to get some time to themselves and to accomplish personal goals. However, I obviously have no problem judging a parent who makes this particular choice. It's lame. I hope she's either voted out first so she can go home to her family or wins the whole thing so at least they get a house or something out it the whole thing.

Maybe I'm blind but to me she has a dark skinned malotto baby and a light skinned malotto baby. Anyone else see it that way? There's nothing wrong with that but don't tell us you have a black and white baby.

And I am sorry but getting in the face of a 75 year old and screaming like that is a huge no no IMO.
