'Big Brother 9' Live Blogged from the East Coast - 3/02 Show

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this entry as it airs. Please forgive any typos as I'm writing this a bit off the cuff. As always, I want your take on the show in comments! After all, that's where the fun is!

Joshuah is planning an attack. He's upset because Allison lied to him about being a lesbian and changed her vote. Now it's to a B&W winning of the HOH for Joshuah and Sharon once again. He's talking about the tear her heart out bit I previously reported, but nothing about a slit throat so far.

Did Adam blow his nose on the bottom of his t-shirt? Then Adam primped as Joshuah went on ranting at Allison. She, of course, is playing poor pitiful me. James tells us that he thinks Joshuah is unstable. Ryan tells us he has no respect for Joshuah any more.

She cries to us, Matt offers a hug which she refuses. Now she's crying to Ryan. Ryan knows it's just the reaction Joshuah wants. She thinks everyone is intimidated by her.

It's very easy to see that Joshuah stole a page from the Evel Dick School of Intimidation textbook.

Matt continues to play both sides while Adam picks at his butt. She tries to make Matt and Ryan feel guilty about not defending her.

Time for the HOH room. Allison goes to bed and avoids it all. My gosh, all of Sharon's siblings have the same nose! Her doggie is so cute! They gave her a pic of Jacob and herself. At least she didn't go Jen on us. Joshuah got a Princess of the Day tiara which was something from his office.

Joshuah isn't mad at Sheila about the lesbian lie but says Allison was constantly feeding the lie. He tells Ryan about the whole story with the adopted son and all. Then Chelsia tells Ryan, too. He's shocked at how stupid Allison is with the story.

When he confronts her, she blamed Sheila. She's being robotic about it as he tells her she's manipulative and no one likes or trusts her in the house. Now, this is the real relationship with these two -- not some phony love story BB was going to give us with the early promos for this episode!

Natalie is after Matt in bed. He doesn't want her to get emotionally attached to him. No guy has ever pushed her away before. Hmm... how many has she thrown herself on before?

It's food comp time. All of the girls are in green asparagus unitards. The guys have overall shorts on. Outside there is a set-up similar to a produce market. They have to pile up asparagus equal to the weight of their partners. Each team playes for a different food group. They must be within ten pounds of the weight. If no team wins anything, they get asparagus with their slop.

James and Chelsia won beverages and snacks for the week. Adam and Sheila won veggies and fruits for the week. Matt and Natalie didn't win carbs and a fest for the week. Ryan and Allison won meats and cheeses for the work. The whole house will have everything except for carbs and a feast.

Natalie is painting a picture of Joshuah in nail polish. I remember the days when they weren't allowed anything at all they could write with. She thinks it will shmooze him to favor her.

Allison went right after Joshuah. Of course, he has to pick on her looks. She criticizes his education and income, he goes after her looks. Sharon is just watching from the landing upstairs. Adam is ignoriring them, Sheila is looking uncomfortable.

Sharon thinks he should call a discreet meeting with everyone except Ryan and Allison. He tells them all she's trying to provooke him and he plans to ignore her. They all try to figure out who should go on the block with Allison and Ryan. Meanwhile, Ryan is with Allison upset at her.

Am I odd or does Allison look a bit Mary Tyler-Moore-like at times?

Ryan is not a happy guy even though Allison thinks she can work Joshuah and flip him back to her side.

She then goes up to the HOH with Sharon and Joshuah for the odd grilling apology I reported the other day. He tells her about the lie and the gay working together bit. She tells us she didn't think he'd be affected by the story. He took it all personally because he's gay. "You know how much I love you," she tells him. He doesn't believe her at all and tells us so.

Nominations today and we get the background spiel again. Allison, for some bizarre reason, is worried that she'll go on the block. Adam hopes not to go up although he knows Allison is the target. Matt tells us he and Natlaie are strong physically, but Natalie isn't too bright. @@ (Neither is he!)

The key order is Adam/Sheila and James/Chelsia. On the block we have Matt and Natalie and Ryan and Allison. They say it's because they're the two strongest couples in the game. Allison just looks possessed, Matt is ticked off. Ryan blames Allison.
