'Big Brother 9' - Live Eviction Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

The show has started here on the east coast. As it airs, I'll constantly be updating this entry. As it's written a bit off the cuff as I watch the show, please forgive any typos. I'm usually halfway decent as long as my fingers are on the right keys! ;-)

As always, I love to read your thoughts about the show in comments!

Ah, reacp is over and we have Julie in high black boots, short black skirt, big black turtleneck with bunches of silver bling. But first ... the siren thought has the HG on edge and we get more recap bits.

Sheila is not happy to be on the block but Allison is happy because she thinks Sheila was a sure vote to evict her. Oh, let's recap the siren bit once again. Nerves are on edge!

Ryan tells Allison he trusts Matt, but she doesn't trust him at all. Matt tells Ryan that he loves Adam, but he's been floating. Matt thinks he'll play people so they think the one vote was from him. He plays them all. Allison thinks that Matt and Natalie will vote to keep thme. She approaches James and Chelsia. He says they've made no proimises to anyone.

James tells Allison he thinks Matt may not vote for her, she refuses to believe it. So, Sheila apporaches James, too. He's not giving her any promises, but she tells him that Matt said he'd vote for her and Adam to stay. That concerns James.

James confronts Matt in front of both Ryan and Adam. Matt says it's called Big Brother. But now both Ryan and Adam know he's promised both of them his vote. Busted!

The pre-vote DR sessions we see with Matt/Natalie and James/Chelsia looked SO staged with both couples bring up reasons to vote out/keep different people. Hmmm...

Julie asks about James' theories and others offer a bunch of them. What's the most surprising thing has Sharon learned about Joshuah? Always fun, always smiling. She says she accidentally broke the pic of Jason from last night.

Okay, they're reshowing Matt and Natalie the POV win. The family and friends of Matt and Natalie chime in on their relationship. We go to the Beaver State. Natalie's looking for love, they say. They think she's falling for Matt and that's not a good thing. Over in Boston, his bro friends say they know he's going for the win.

Julie just said that when the evicted houseguests reach the door, the siren will go off and the game will change. And now we're into commercial.

We're back. Julie says the front door will be locked and they can't leave. The second the siren goes off, the game goes individual and only ONE of the evicted couple will leave. The votes are already done, not live, and Julie announces 2-0 Ryan and Allison are evicted.

Hugs, hugs, c'mon, go for the door! More hugs. The door is locked. SIREN! Allison and Ryan are thrilled. Joshuah looks crushed. Julie tells them she has an important announcement. Game about to change. No longer couples, cheers! Joshuah shocked. Sharon shocked. Partners up to each of you -- your partner is now your competition.

Allison and Ryan, only one of you will be leaving tonight. A live vote will determine which one goes.

Allison and Ryan have a chance to plead their cases. Ryan looks embarrassed, would like to stay to spend another week up on the block. Allison is sobbing, really wants to stay, but would be happy if Ryan stayed, too.

Adam votes first -- to evict Allison. Chelsia votes to evict Allison. Matt votes to evict Allison. Sheila votes to evict Allison. Natalie votes to evict Allison. James votes to evict Allison. It's unanimous. Allison is a goner.

She pretty much brushed past everyone. They're happy, she's with Julie. Now Joshuah is smiling. Dang, can't they control the language ... more bleeps than speech.

Allison says she's very surprised to be sitting there alone. She's not ahppy, says the lesbian lie was just a jokle and wasn't meant to stir anything up.

Goodbye messages, Matt and Nat nice. Joshuah still going off about the lesbian lies, Sheila cries and will miss her, wishes her the best. Allison says the best part, what she'll remember is going in without a plan, learning about herself and other people. HOH single comp is next.

The HOH comp is a booth Q&A set up called Time After Time, about the order of things which have happened in the house.

James and Natalie out. Only Adam and Ryan still in the running. A shot of the guinea pig made me giggle.

Ryan is the new HOH! From being evicted to being HOH, he ran the gamut tonight!

Julie says the surprises arent;' over yet. After commercial whe'll tell us how we can take control (?).

Evicted houseguests have all been sequestered, have no idea what's going on. We can vote for one to return. I'd like to see Alex come back!

HI JACKIE!!!

This is good. Matt has some game, James has some game. IF you forget about the BBAD, it's now getting a LITTLE bit more into strategy --even if it's a fantasy show. These editors are remarkable to make this out of what they have to work with, lol.

joy n said...

Yay for James on the one hand for facing off with Matt about his game play, but he's not being so smart about getting rid of Adam and Sheila because they're lousy at comps. That's a good reason to keep them there. I guess though, that they may have been coached to say that.

Anonymous said...

so the siren would mean that the couple either stays or picks one of them to stay......my guess. i would KILL to have SHO2 tonite!!!!!!

Sydney said...

ANother semi-bad -but-better- than- many- in- the- past outfit for Julie. There's always just a little too much poof, loops... too much of a mix and match of styles going on.

joy n said...

Well, here we go! After the commercials, we find out what the stupid siren is going to bring. And just as the evictees are going out the door!

PlaidChick said...

Is this mystery siren going to be stupid and the only thing it will entale is the couple are broken up and/or the evicted couple doesn't leave the house?

PlaidChick said...

well I was close... LOL

Meliss said...

Ryan knows, he is smiling!

Meliss said...

josh is ticked

Sydney said...

Siren is off -- Look at Josh's face! NOT happy.

PlaidChick said...

Calm down Allison you're still leaving

Sydney said...

Don't get TOO happy Allison

joy n said...

Alright, individual play. And one will stay! Josuah is in shock! Hope it's still Allison to go!

Meliss said...

i feel kinda bad for allison, she got so excited but now she is gone...lol

Anonymous said...

talk about expecting the unexpected. i'm sure it's a given ryan is staying. josh looks like he could cry. bikini babe is facing dovorce because her partner looks like he's thrilled to finally sleep alone.

big brother is sick i tell you.

Meliss said...

Ryan is sooo teddy bear adorable!
I wonder if there is a HOH comp, time is ending!!!!

Sydney said...

You know Shelia will vote Allison out!

joy n said...

Allison was slaughtered 6 -0!

PlaidChick said...

I have never seen a group so happy to see someone gone

Meliss said...

no hugs nothing! They couldnt even wait till she was gone to celebrate???????

Anonymous said...

HOH comp. must be an endurance one--they will get started at the end of the show......sounds like no evicted HG are coming back, YEAH!!!

PlaidChick said...

Could anyone catch what Josh just mouthed to Sharon?

joy n said...

Did you see Josh mouth the words to Sharon, "Thank God she's gone?"

Anonymous said...

why was alison singled out for the lesbian lie and not sheila?

PlaidChick said...

Anon 8:43


Allison told Josh she and Shiela were a couple, Shiela really never said anything about it

Sydney said...

So I see why no rehearsal.... it was not due to an endurance comp but that everyone would be solo.

PlaidChick said...

Joy-- thank you I couldn't tell what he said

joy n said...

Allison said she didn't start the lesbian lie and didn't choose to end it. Isn't only half of that true! Didn't Sheila say not to say anything about it being a joke and Allison went and told everyone anyway. Am I right?

Anonymous said...

no couples? Sheila is probably the happiest person in the house(other than Ryan). She can finally sleep by herself!! Poor Nat. she'll be chasing Matt all night! LOL

Sydney said...

Meliss-- Brutal.

But it was clear that Allison didn't want to hug anyone (I don't blame her, as annoying as she was). Her hugging Sharon was because SHaron was already upon her, and yo could see she didn't want it, so I guess ppl didn't try. Not that all would -- we know Josh wouldn't. Nat of course followed her all the way to the door, but also turned around and burst into high spirits the second Allison was gone, so who knows if she even really had any care about it.

PlaidChick said...

Well of course!

Meliss said...

YAH Ryan!

joy n said...

OMG! From evictee to HOH in minutes! RYAN is the new HOH!

Meliss said...

o dear, we can play a role...ugh. Anyway, Josh looks SCARED!!!!!!!
He will start by saying you were only on the block due to allison...lol

Sydney said...

YES YES YES RYAN!!!

I think that each couple or many couples will keep their partnership as an auto-alliance. Much like when tribess merge on Survivor. I see Sharon and Josh staying close, and James and Chelsia. I think Matt and Ryan will team up and Matt will have NAt's loyalty, but she won't have his once he doesn't need her for something. (That is a no brainer,lol)

Anonymous said...

i'm not an allison fan at all....but josh blamed her entirely! it takes two to tango, joshy! i hope sheila gets hers, just for letting allison take ALL the heat.

Sydney said...

Josh would be no good at Poker... though he didn't sleep a wink last night waiting for that siren to go off.

Anonymous said...

EASILY, the best thing CBS has done this season-FINALLY! The game gets interesting.

joy n said...

Alex! Alex!!! Alex!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

oh my goodness! lets vote jacob in!

Meliss said...

I want Alex or Amanda back...sorry guys,....lol
I think Alex was kinda cute.
Josh is kissing butt already!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

sydney--that sounds good but where does that leave Sheila? Adam will probably join forces with Ryan and Matt. I think we will really see the foursome alliance of Josh/Sharon and James/Chel. kick into high gear.

Anonymous said...

BRING BACK ALEX!!!

Amanda's voice drives me crazy!

Parker has a bad attitude.

Jacob wasn't ever in the game.

Jen will just mess up Ryan.

Alex is the only one who left through no fault of his own.

Sydney said...

That sounds right Nana...

Anonymous said...

We could just mess with them all and vote Allison back in....(blech!) ~SharonS

Zoetawny said...

Peeking here again before the show starts. ;)

Ryan got lucky and Allison is gone.
It will be interesting to see if Joshua's attitude is adjusted. He's been unbearable. Well, now how can Ryan be alone and all the others are still couples. Hmmmm?
Guess I'll have to wait to see the show to learn more.

sydney...

Julie's outfits this season aren't as cool as they have been. Maybe she has a different wardrobe person.

Are Nat's family and friends aware that she's looking for love in all the wrong places? Matt's told her in so many ways that she's not for him. It's really sad to see a girl so desperate and needy. So Matt's bro and friends say he's going for the "win". His ego is already big enough that I would like to see someone else win. ;)

Still can't seem to find someone to root for in this group but Ryan and Sharon aren't as obnoxious as the others. Is anyone rooting for somebody yet????

(Prayers go out to Patrick Swayze(sp?) battling pancreatic cancer.)

joy n said...

I agree Nana, that would be a foursome to deal with.

I only hope this vote will be the last one for evictees to come back. I don't want to hear Amanda's voice again. Don't want to see more drama between Jacob and Sharon. Don't want to see moody Parker or Miss full-of-herself Jen again. I really hope it will be Alex coming back.

Sydney said...

It will be interesting to see how many ppl. vote to bring Allison back just to make trouble in the house. Do any of you think ppl. will bring back Jen to throw Ryan off? I don't think so. I think no one wants to do it to him now that he has this opportunity.

joy n said...

Zoetawny, there are no more couples. Each person is on their own now.

Sydney said...

I think I'll vote for ALex. He had the most potential for playing the game that we all are missing, now that Matt and James seem to be stepping it up a bit (at least on the CBS show).

This is IT ppl, a chance to use our vote to try to patch up this train wreck, a little at least!

monty924 said...

Great changing it up CBS!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm definitely voting for Alex to come back into the game. Not to sound catty, but wouldn't it suck for Allison to come in last in the voting? I mean, come on, she was evicted twice in less than 15 minutes and then to come in last in the voting would be brutal.

I'm soooooooooooo happy the couples are history. You know Matt, Ryan and Adam will form an alliance and perhaps James and Chelsia. Or the Josh/Sharon/James/Chelsia would also be good. Where does that leave poor Sheila and Nasty Natalie? Who really cares!

~~Silk said...

I think the house guests weren't thinking. They voted off the one they don't like, and kept the one that they do like? Who would you rather have next to you at the final few, strong Ryan with friends, or Allison with none?

dla said...

Just voted for Alex...

Game awwwwwn! (finally)

joy n said...

Got my vote in for Alex, too.

Sydney said...

DLA-- yes on that Awwwn! Yee-ha! I saw some polls and Alex is the fav so far.

Anonymous said...

BRING BACK PARKER! HE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY THE GAME.

they are so forgetable. remind me who is alex?

Anon 11:27pm

Hilarious!! Alex is the cute boy stuck with squeaky voice Amanda... Got the boot based on his partner.

If you go to cbs.com, they have pix of your choices, as they are completely forgetable. lol

monty924 said...

anon 11:27,

Alex was Amanda's partner.


I voted for Alex to come back in. Most of the regulars here know that I think he, Parker and Ryan got screwed (guilt by association), but I'm thinking the girls are toast now. Stick a fork in them, because if Alex comes back in they will gang up on the girls and they'll be picked off one by one unless one of them wins HOH next week.

Problem is... I don't like Jen, Amanda or Allison. If I had to pick one, it would be Amanda. She could come back and stir things up with the girls. Sharon was close to her and I think her and Chelsia could mend fences to work towards the end game. Sheila's going to cling onto whatever she can now. She may have been happy that Allison went home tonight, but I bet she wishes she had her back.

Good twist BB.

Tessa said...

This was not a good night to miss. I feel like I am so out of the loop. Alex is definitely my vote for a returning houseguest.

dla said...

Sydney,

The Chenbot's outfit was a bit over the top... Her stylists need to adopt the "less definitely can be more" philosophy, as she almost looks like she is in a costume most weeks.

Had she left off the patterned tights and too much silver around her neck, it may have been a bit better.

Anonymous said...

I am hoping for a Alex return. I cannot take a Jen or Parker return. Plus they won money already, send them home.

I was impressed with James ability to call Matt out on playing both sides. It will be interesting to see if it changes the game in any way. Now that Ryan is HOH, Matt playing him might be cause for Matt to go up on the block.

If Alex were to come back in, I think Matt and Alex will team back up. I think James is a smart and strong player and he needs to be watched very carefully,IMO.

I would love to see Adam hit the door next and then Sheila. I swear Shelia is either in bed or in the kitchen. Adam is just all around creepy and gross.

With any luck, maybe the game is finally going to begin.

dla and Sharon, thoughts and prayers are with you both on the loss ofyour loved ones. I hope you have many good memories tucked away in your hearts and it brings you special peace. Take care.

Zoetawny said...

joy n...

Thanks! LOL I only got what I was reading up to that point.

I'm wondering if AG had planned the singles only twist all along or did cbs actually pay attention to the fact that the soul mates theme was a disaster and we, the fans, were complaining.

As much as Allison was annoying I do agree that she took the heat that should have been shared with Sheila, even though Allison did spill the beans. It was the coldest good-bye I've ever seen on BB. Then again maybe it was the most honest. It always kills me how they act all nicey-nicey when they know they're on live. Guess they forget the cameras are on
24/7.

Well now maybe we'll see some game playing. I agree with sydney about James and Chelsia, Josh and Sharon staying allied the way the players on Survivor do even after the merge. It's interesting human behavior to keep original loyalties even after the formal structure is no longer in place. The guys, Matt, Adam and Ryan will probably ally because none of them had a partner/soul mate they were happy with. But, if Jen were voted back in she would pair up with Ryan for sure.

nana...

I'd like to see Alex come back, too. He seemed more rational even when dealing with over emotional Amanda. Besides, he was really cute. LOL

SharonS...

"We could just mess with them all and vote Allison back in....(blech!)"

ROTFLMBO! Would that be payback or karma? ;)

What is Sheila going to complain about now that she's single? I'm sure she'll find something.

Who will Ryan's nominees be? Is Josh shaking his butt or just plain shaking?

Finally, the game is ON!

Jackie, thanks again for putting up with this BB mess and maybe now we'll see some real strategizing.

Anonymous said...

Interesting. I kind of felt badly for Allison getting so excited when she would just be leaving anyway. Oh well. And I do think it would be funny to vote her back in just to see the house reaction. Yep, I know I'm evil.

I do agree that Parker and Alex got messed up because of their partners, however, I really have a hard time voting back in another guy because I think that then the females in the house will hardly have a chance. In loyalty to my gender (lol) I may have to vote one of the girls back in. Not Jen because I thought she was a pain in her own right, not Allison because I'm not really that evil. Maybe Amanda because I think she's basically ok...but then there's that voice. Hmmmm...tough one.

Alex was sooo very nice looking...

I'm just glad there'll be (hopefully) more to watch now, with everyone playing alone or more accurately, free of the forced couple thing. I probably just missed it but when will we know who comes back into the house?

Thanks, Jackie!
