BB9 Live Feeds Into Monday Morning

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

Graphic artist Zoetawny nailed it this time -- the good, the bad, and the ugly! It's perfect!

And it not just a matter of physically unattractive, mind you. An ugly personality can be much worse than any mere physical features.

Here's what has happened in the house since I last reported:
  • The HG got a whopping six pack of beer for the five of them.
  • It's wasn't the brand James had requested.
  • Sheila told Natalie and Sharon that James is trying to stay and was campaigning to get Natalie out of the house.
  • Natalie thinks James is targeting her because "the girl with no education" is staying in the house and she's leaving. (Side note - I don't recall James having extensive schooling.)
  • Sheila is really enjoying Adam's Bon Jovi music from his HOH basket this week.
  • Natalie says she doesn't dream about sex because she hasn't had any in a year and forgot what it's like.
  • Sharon is sure that if Natalie wins HOH, she'll be the next out the door.
  • All are in bed as I get this posted.

If ugly means personality I think James is the ugliest!

Sydney...try me now I think I figured it out!!!

I think you nailed it,once again,Zoetawny! They all have shown their "ugly" sides at times,but,for me,Sheila is the most consistant.If I hear the "single mother" card played one more time,I will scream.Was she too stupid to realize that she'd have to be away from her kid if she meant to win this thing? Or did she figure they would hate her so much she'd be the first one out?? I am still amazed she's still there,after those first few days in the house,I'd have campaigned so hard to send her home,she'd been gone first thing.And the crying.....I still think she's hormonal and probably pre-menopausal.If the sun goes behind a cloud,she's crying. If James looks at her,she's crying! To me,that's not playing the game and I don't want her to win it all.

And last time,when Adam made his Nomination speech and told them if they wanted James out,then they had to work for it,boy,was Ryan ticked off. So,he just wants to ride the wave,have Gnat do all the dirty work and float to the final three? He has a serious sense of entitlement and I was shocked he actually stepped up and won POV. But he's still really,really pissed at Adam. Adam really stuck his neck out and I think it's gonna cost him,big time.

Now,if Sheila DOES win an HOH because it is tailored to her,I will be done with this for good. I don't think she's been laying off winning,I don't think she CAN win,she's horrible at everything.When has she even been close to winning? She's usually one of the first out,and not in a Dr. Will kind of a way,either.

auditions for bb10 in philly this friday. i am going down to check out what the auditioning crop looks like. this is a pure act of desperation. out with the old and in with the new. PLEASE!!

meb said...

nancy in pa... why don't you try out, just for the heck of it and see how far you go... that would be great if we could have one of jackie's bloggers in the BB house.

Wonder what the theme is going to be for BB10. Let's hope it's not another kiddie porn show. Enough is enough!

RBennie said...

Good morning all. It's a cold and dreary day here in NYC. It feels more like November than April, but at least its not raining.

So it looks like the game is truly over for James now, though I won't start celebrating just yet. You just never know with this bunch. In hindsight, I think Adam not putting James up initially was a good move. It definitely motivated the others to fight like hell for the POV and I think it took some of the desperation out of James - even though he knew he still needed to win it, its just not quite the same as being on the block and knowing that POV is the only thing that will save you.

I would like to see either Sharon or Sheila get HOH just because I'm very curious about what they would do with it. I have no idea who either of them would put up. Sheila would probably put up Sharon and Adam (because he put her up). Sharon would put up Adam and Ryan (if she's sticking to the girl's alliance) or Adam and Natalie or Sheila (if she's sticking with her Ryan alliance). What does everyone else think?

P.S. - I love all the new pictures.

Great graphic Zoetawny! It is the BB Trinity, since it is true of all of them at one time or another.

Meb, I am still trying to figure out BB9's theme. I know they are supposed to be locked away from the world. It has a fireplace and looks like a cabin in the woods, but then there is the sunbathing in the back yard. Julie's clothes choices might go along with the snowbound theme...but again, it is just not making sense to me. (that was funny wasn't it?! BB making sense)

If they continue to choose hot young things for hgs, then BB10 should be done up in Bordello red with a cash register in the first comp.

joy n said...

Zoetawny, another graphic that says it all. The delusional Gnatalie with her self-proclaimed title of "good person". Poor "bad" James labeled by self-righteous Gnat as the "evildoer". And "ugly" Sheila who shows her ugly personality every day in that house.

I get pretty disgusted by Adam's personal hygiene habits and his awful quote about the kids he used to work with, but since Sharon and James are going to be run out of there, I'd want to see Adam possibly win because he'd be the only one left in that house with a heart. He also showed a little spine there by putting up who he wanted instead of who Gnat wanted. He, at least, gave James a fair shot.

Laurie said...

Good morning everyone!

ZoeTawney, the graphic is perfect.

Delee, congrats on getting your blog going.

Sharon, are you saying Sheila is a single mom? Who knew? LOL I wonder if she uses that in real life.

Looking forward to seeing Sheila win HOH and weilding her power. Darn, I couldn't even type that with a straight face. Unless they cater to what she might know about her own life, I don't see her winning ... only whining.

Have a good Monday everyone!

meb.......now that i have stopped LOL in convulsions....i must tell you i am neither young (a grandma) nor do i have a body like a brick house. i am also never inclined to strip, sleep with, or get drunk on a regular basis. i would be inclined to play the game with my HEAD...all of which would prevent me from even getting in the door. but the thought was a hoot and will undoubtedly keep me chuckling all day!

i must re-tract past opinions where i really felt that in order to have gotten this far in the game there would have had to have been SOME game play... so that everyone there had done SOMETHING plausibe. i can't come up with ONE thing sheila would have done to warrant still being there other than "dum" luck. james plays outloud, sharon flys low, natalie picked up her game and works, adam works and is living up to his nickname, and ryan gets others to play his game. but sheila? is there anything she's done that i have missed?

Zoetawny you ocked it once more thanks so much
Jackie...making my donation right now, you do such an amazaing job an it really hasnt been un this year for you! But you made it fun for us!!! hugs and stuff!!!

i dont know why it tickles me my word verif says "xydogs"

Sydney said...

OMG Nancy -- Excellent idea!!! Have pity on us and report back. Where do I find out if they are having them in Houston so I can do the same?

Anonymous said...

Iam with you Joy. Adam showed his worth by giving James a chance. Unlike Ryan backdooring him without giving him a chance for POV. Ryan calls the HG names in the DR but doesn't have the guts to say it to there face. He needs Nat to do his dirty work. Hoping Ryan doesn't win. TshirtnLevis

Sydney said...

When we say Shelia has done nothing I think she has done at least 2 things, and THEN a bunch of nothing 99% in-between. #1 SHE is the one who changed who Ryan sided with and hence put up at that pivotal part of the game, remember. That was the first critical shift in the house and she was the engine behind it. Second, she has influenced Adams vote an awful lot -- or did in the beginning, though he did the work of looking neutral all the while. In the end, he voted pretty much the way Shelia wanted.

Secondly, Sue, have you considered doing your own little blog? The BB trinity -I fell off my chair here.
I so enjoy your comments, I think it would be great to read your take on other things in life. Just sayin....

Joy N -- i agree with you about all you siad re: adam. His hygiene is awful but he is slowly becoming a favorite. First, I thought his DR clips were the most entertaining, then I noticed he was good at staying neutral without being underhanded about it. And he once in awhile blew up a tad in frustration and basically voiced what we all were complaining about in here... but not to be mean or manipulate others or get sympathy or power or control. Kudos to that.

And now, whenever someone cries, he cries with them, and it's looking 100% genuine to me. If Sharon can't win (if James is evicted) then I'd like to see him get it. Am I saying that? Yes, yes I appear to be.

Jackie, do YOU have any one you'd like to see win?

RBennie said...

I'm rooting for Natalie for the win, but if she can't do it then I wouldn't mind seeing Adam win. He has some disgusting personal habits, but I do think he's a pretty decent guy. He seems to genuinely like everyone in the house and has managed to play a relatively straight forward game thus far. I think if he makes it to F2, he will be tough to beat.

Sydney said...

Sorry to write again but I was reading on last post and decided to comment here -- ppl were talking about the comp designed for Shelia --

What WOULD be a comp designed for Shelia? I don't mean to be mean, but her defining accomplishment, besides having a son, which is a big one, is to be a Penthouse pet... a mag that distinguishes itself from Playboy in one big way...

So she was in a few photo shoots, and earned the Pet of the Year. That's a cover shot. And that meant a year of parties where she's a focus.

She said she lived in the Penthouse mansion the longest of any girl -- over 10 years was it, 15? What was life like there? Parties, drugs, sleeping late, someone else paying the bills. I am NOT putting any of this down, I am just thinking what her experience has been and wondering how you could build a comp out of this. I think she said she did not got to or finish college and her jobs since Penthouse have been restaurant hostessing and such.

So what could be a comp slanted toward her experience? Photo shoots? Mix a HG face with 80's Hollywood B-actors (who she could have partied with in the Penthouse days)??? Could they have replaced the mashed potatoes with forming long lines of faux-coke on coffee tables with other people's credit cards? LOL, I'm now amusing myself. Anyone else have any ideas?

Donna in Alabama said...

As I stated yesterday, Adam is showing he has feelings and feels bad for James (Josh too when he fake cried). The goober grabbing, nose picker is actually a good guy and not like Natalie's "good"!
I still kind of hope Sharon can remain, prevail for the "evil doers" but I don't think Sharon or James now have a snowballs chance in hell of staying in the house.

Sydney said...

OK, I've wasted the better part of a n hour going back over many of the old posts and comments trying to find the place where someone here gave Judy and I directions of how to get a picture up on blogger...
i see where Judt, Meb and delee did it, but can't find the directions that someone wrote. It was a 2 or 3 liner..

Can someone take pity on me and write them again? Sorry!

Sydney said...

PS: Donna, I would love to have a copy of your who lives where list... if you have any inclination to share. I stared one when we all tried to plan a meeting in person with Jackie was it already 2 springs ago??? But it has gone by the wayside in my recent move.

If you want to click on my name to get to my blog I can give you my private e-mail somehow?

And next, I want to install the site meter Orkmommy told me about 2 years ago, lol. Maybe we can start a little getting-techno -current club.

RBennie said...

Hi Sydney. When you mentioned Orkmommy I realized she's been missing in action here. Do you know why she hasn't been posting. I always enjoyed her view on things in the BB house.

Anonymous said...

Meb & Sue-I think the theme here, as far as I can come up with is: Sent into the Woods and hopefully never to be heard or seen from again.

Sydney-I think the comp Shelia could win hands down would be bitching and whining non-stop...she is constant. I often wonder he she talks in her sleep.?.
Gnat talks, but she can entertain herself from time to time without being verbal.

Zoetawny-This graphic is so far my all time favorite. It tells it all, perfect. Awesome job and many thanks!

There is still time for things to change here.(not that I am expecting it)It is BB...Expect the unexpected. I think it would turn things upside down and interesting if James ended up staying.

Have a good Monday everyone! Back to work I go.

Donna in Alabama said...

Sydney, I left the instructions on how to add the picture a couple of days ago. Click on your name, then edit your profile, scroll down until you see photographs, click the little circle for URL picture and then click Browse. This will take you to pictures on your computer, then just select one. Don't forget to scroll down once you have it added and "save your profile".

I will share my list of bloggers.

Anonymous said...

I do believe Sydney that if they could come up with a dishwashing comp, or somehow polishing the table or fridge........Sheila would stand a chance at winning that. She is the only one to take housework cleanliness serious of all those HG's. But then I guess there is no comp suited to that. I still want Ryan or Natalie to win, but Adam is getting higher and higher on the ladder for me as days go by. Still will not believe James is leaving until he gets on the couch with Julie, and then Julie says good-bye and he is actually gone out the door. We'll see!

Donna in Alabama said...

I don't know if you could believe James is gone then, Sandiekay...he has walked out the door once, spoke to Julie and then came back...

Not much to add about the show,but it's finally a g It's 64 and SUNNY and should get to 68 soon. It has been a long,long,long winter and this is so welcome! I know some of you have had really fierce weather here the last week or so and hope you all came through it without too much damage,but I am sooooo ready for spring to spring!

Sydney said...

OK folks, here is where auditions are for BB10. I se it's in Houston on 4/16. I will go and check it out, lol. If any of these are in your city, and you are so inclined to report back... Somehow I think we're only going to see ppl from minimum age to about 30... Thanks Nancy

And thank you Donna for repeating those instructions!

Donna in Alabama said...

I will be glad to repeat them in each post if needed for anyone. I wish everyone would put up a picture and put at least their state on their profiles. Does anyone know how to see a profile if their name is not in blue, like sharon, nancy in pa, sue, nana in nw?

Anonymous said...

Thanks Sydney. It makes me blush when people say nice things. I am too shy to blog...very outspoken, but shy. : ) If I had one, it might be called 'Through grey colored glasses', since I don't usually see anything in black or white. That might be why I can enjoy Natalie and antics (isn't that a good word for what she does?) but still not buy what she is selling. I can see James is playing hard and has a good eye for observing people's weak spots and the guts to stab them there, and still appreciate that as a skill rather than being repulsed by it. Biting his toenails does repulse me, so maybe I do have some absolutes after all.

Adam really seems to champion the underdog. James now knows that, so anything is possible on Wednesday.

Patty, that is funny about disappearing into the woods. Maybe soon.

joy n said...

Sydney, I still think that Sheila's votes were whatever Gnat wanted them to be. She tried to change people's votes a few times, but seemed to always go back to what Gnat said had to be.

Well, it's Monday :(
I wish I was still "dancin' in the streets"(or freeway to be exact!). The downside of going away with my dance friends is I NEVER come home rested!

Back to the old grind--spring break is over, although it still seems like winter here! The cold temps. and rain have returned.

Donna in al--I have spent the last two hours trying to get my name in blue and a pic. Google keeps telling me I already have an account, but I can't reset my password. Then I go to help and they tell me my e-mail is invalid....grrrrr...just give me a phone number I can call to talk to someone!!! But until that happens I am going to try to get to you through your site.

Sydney--thanks for the locations of auditions. Another tryout in Oregon??
Haven't BB learned from their mistakes with Nat.!! Maybe they are trying to redeem themselves so the world doesn't think Nat. is the best "the beaver state" has to offer!! LOL I know what you mean about reading comments. I'll sit down for a few minutes and an hour later find myself still reading--if not here then over at Joker's. If you go to Houston auditions maybe you should get some autographs from the BB wannabes. They could be on the show and then you could sell the autograph on e-bay--just like Nat.!!

anon 11:46--I loved your name at the end--TshirtsnLevis--:) Try clicking name/url, then type that name in the box, do the word verification, and hit publish your comment(sometimes you have to do word verification 2 times). When your comments come up your name will be at the top of your comment! Then we'll all know it's you before we start reading. Welcome to the group if this is your first time commenting.

I've been thinking of a comp. tailored for Sheila:

hmmmmmm.......
let me think......
Oh my.........
I'm trying.......
Well, damn!

Can't think of ANYTHING she could win!!! Sorry!

BTW--did anybody catch the convo. Nat. was having with Adam/Ryan about HOW she has sex?? Come on, she is suppose to be on team Christ and one of the "good" people. I'm sorry but you just don't talk about your personal sex life--especially in that much detail!!!

Sydney said...

Nana, maybe you need to start all over again and act like you are getting a new account. Do NANA NW or Nana1 in the NW or something that will make it a little different...

Then do a password you won't ever forget, like Josie.

Do you think that might help???

I tried to delete the account and they wouldn't let me because I didn't have the correct PASSWORD!!! You know, computers are great but sometimes I just need to hear a real person!!!

Okay, I just heard James is talking to Sharon about leaving in the red robe and whitey-tighties with slippers. Not too long after that discussion BB called him to the DR. I can only assume BB wants to make sure CBS does not access some type of fine for the wardrobe dysfunction.

Off topic - Did anyone happen to watch that "Here Comes the Newlyweds" show?

Sharon is telling of her relationship with Jacob. No pauses for breath in between words, because she is telling Nat and Sheila and doesn't want to lose the floor. They don't stand a chance, Sharon is on a roll. I think most people who have listened to the feeds have already heard it. She includes small details. "I was eating and someone told me my phone was going off.." I didn't answer it because...etc. She checks the number, doesn't know the area code. See what I mean, it is very detailed. Boringly so. For all the irresponsible things she says Jacob has done and how awful he treated her, she spends an awful lot of time talking about him. Oh Oh, Sharon has just confused Sheila about the timeline of the Jacob relationship. She has to repeat to make it clear to Sheila. It is an amazing performance.

It is around 2pm in the house, the three women are in the back yard sunning with Sharon talking. At least two guys are asleep.

I watched a few minutes of Showtime. It was James and Ryan playing chess and no sound made the whole time. Did anyone watch it? Did it pick up after I turned it off?

******************************
Sydney...thank you for my official LOLOL of the day!! Now THAT is funny!

Actually, I think we've not mentioned the primary reason it seems Sheila is still in the house. She is regarded as so ineffectual that she would be "a waste of an HOH" to get rid of her. Hmmmm, they could regret that at the end, although I highly doubt she'd be voted the big win. And boy, have I been wrong before LOL

I'm like you,Nana,I went and set up my blog and thought I did all the right stuff and I still can't get my name or link to show up in blue. It tells me the same thing,that my password is wrong and the one I use is the only one I ever use.

rbennie -- I have gone to Orkmommy's site a few times to let her know we missed her and that BB was just not the same without her comments. Early on in this season, she did write in and say she was torn between AI and BB and I think AI won... though she was commenting regularly on Jackie's early TV Squad reports for awhile there.

And Plaidchick -- I would NOT want to be in that house for anything in the world!!!! :-/

Hey, Nana - I had a problem with not being able to remember my password. I finally went to www.blogger.com and was able to get it re-set.

After going to the site, I entered my email address, then instead of entering my password, I clicked on the "?" mark to the right of "Password". I was sent an email with a link to re-set. Now all I have to do is get this feeble brain of mine to remember what I set it to.

I know what you mean about sitting down for a few minutes, then next thing you know, an hour's gone by! I got home from work shortly after 5:00 and thought I'd do a quick check to see what's happened in the house today. . . . .and now, here it is, 2 1/2 hour later!

I saw that there's going to be a try out in Portland. Cool Beans, as Nichomas (sp) would say. I wouldn't mind taking a peek to see what kind characters it'll draw.

By the way, thanks for instructions on adding a pix. The hardest part was going thru my pictures and choosing the right one.

Meb, I saw the clip, too, on YouTube, and yes, everyone was there. Adam and Ryan were teasing her about the BJs with Matt. It's the same clip where she says GOD sent Matty out of the house for lying to her and about her. She's just not normal.
