'Big Brother 9' - 3/16 Show Live Blogged From the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. As it airs, this post will be constantly updated, so please refresh the page for the latest. As I'm typing it while watching TV, there will most likely be a typoo or two. Please forgive me!

As always, your comments make it all worthwhile!

Recap time ... James got evicted. Gee, I wonder if he'll come back?

"the last one remaining above their disco ball will win this competition," says ChenBot.

As they go for HOH, James is bitter about all the ones who voted him out. So, he really has only Chelsia on his side. Joshuah and Adam feel bad about voting him out, Matt and Ryan are happy. Chelsia is really shook. Again with the recapping, Julie tells James three voted the mystery guest, five voted for him.

Back to the comp, maybe we'll see the bits left out on the feeds. Matt implies that he voted James back in, but didn't outright say he voted for him.

Adam is out of the comp first blaming his "fat ass." Eep, Joshuah just went down. He tells us the comp isn't meant for him. Matt's ankles hurt and he says he might jump down. But then it looked to me like he more lost it than a deliberate jump although he would have jumped before long I'm sure. Sheila's arms are getting tired. "Can't we all get along?" Natalie asks.

Sheila tells James that she wanted Alex to come back and voted in hopes he would. He thanks her for being honest. Now Sheila feels sick ... she's down! She said she hadn't eaten. Matt says Natalie must win because the remaining three would put him on the block. That would be James, Sharon, and Chelsia.

Matt told Sheila to pray Natalie stays up there and snaps at Natalie to stay up. Natalie feels the pressure. Joshuah asked her what kind of deal it would take for her to drop. Matt yells at her to stay up. Ryan told Matt he should come over and cheer her on. Natalie won't shut up! Matt said he can't stand her voice. He tells her he MIGHT give her a massage.

Sharon's down, thanks to Chatty Natty Matt says. Nat tells us in a DR session she knew she had to win to make sure she and Matt were safe. Natalie tells Chelsia and James that they're not her target. She says she knows James wants his dignity back. Matt asked how it felt to be backdoored. "Wonderful, I'll have to do it to some of you guys," says James.

James looks tired, then Chelsia FELL. Now James is more worried. He says in a DR session he'd have to be struck by lightning to fall. Down to James and Natalie, he's definitely looking in worse shape. He wants to play Let's Make a Deal ... he wants Ryan on the block for what he did to him. Ryan is thumping that stupide star which annoyed me in the feeds. Ryan is mad, Matt doesn't want her to take it although she seemed like she might be willing.

Here comes the end ... Matt is telling her no deals. She says she's feeling sick. James promises she and Matt won't go on the block. Chelsia tells Matt he should be thankful. James says again he won't put Matt up, she says deal and goes down. James is the new HOH!

"I'll stick to my word just like everyone else in this house," says James to Matt. AHA. I didn't hear that on the feeds!

Matt is proud of Natalie and impressed. She tells him she's sorry. How pathetic is that?

Matt tells Natalie again she'll get her massage. Matt says she was like Jesus up there dying for him. Chelsia and James are still a happy couple. Sharon and Joshuah talk -- he doesn't think that James will put him up, but he worries. Sharon is a bit uneasy, too.

Ryan asked Nat why she voted him back, she said she was worried Allison would come back. She said she didn't know what to do. Ryan says now that they're in power, they'll throw one of them (Boys Club) out.

Bible Buddies? Matt, Adam, and Ryan discussing the Bible. Adam's hand is going in his pants until he rolls over. It's an interpretation of the Bible unlike any I've heard before. "Jacob is a big ass dude."

Time for the HOH room! They all go. Photos of his friends. Chelsia is happy for him. Short HOH segment.

Time for the massage -- I love you, but not like that ... in a different way. "I'm not touching any boobies, though. Flip them in because they're haning out." She tells Matt he has to convince James he voted to keep him so he wouldn't gun for him. Joshuah thinks the thrid vote was either Matt or Adam. He's going to solve the mystery. Adam tells Joshuah he voted to take him back. Matt is acting confused when Adam says he voted for him to come back. He's not a good actor. Adam thinks James needs to know he voted to have him come back in, so tells him. Adam is worried he might be a target and he is telling the truth.

Joshuah is housekeeping with a feather duster and says he's like a gay French maid. It gives him a chance to throw dust on the beds of people he doesn't like. He reads his letter from home and we're more in the past again. This is week old fodder! He cries. His family loves and supports him. Aw, they clap for him after he read it aloud. He cries in the DR.

Ryan goes to talk to James. He knows he's after him and reminds him that he too was evicted. James called him on the lies and asked him why he put him up. Ryan starts to say it's the house, then changes his tune. He says he's not responsible for Matt's mouth. James tells us that Ryan is getting nominated because he was screwed by everyone else in the house except Chelsia. "Get ready for an intense week," he tells Ryan.

Nominations are in the air. Ryan is sure he'll put him on the block. Adam is ansty and hopes James believes he voted him back in. Matt feels safe, but doesn't really trust a kid with pink hair. James still only trusts Chelsia, mistakenly they brought me back in the game he says.

Time for noms -- James false prestenses and lies are the reasons behind his vote. Key order -- Natalie, Matt, Sharon, Chelsia, Joshuah, Adam.

Sheial and Ryan are on the block, both look not surprised. He tells Sheila that he nominated her because she gave him her word and didn't keep it. Ryan is on the block because he backdoored him.

Ryan says he's the king of the block, third time up. Matt says he owes Natalie big time. Sheila is all big talk, not gonna cry boohoohoo -- but she surely cries enough all the time over other things!
