'Big Brother 9' - Live Blogged From the East Coast 3/04

I've had a feeds update report sitting in pending over at TV Squad. When it goes live, I'll zap a link here.

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 has told us how they had to change their vote to go along with Allison and Ryan last week. We see Allison and Joshuah fussing at each other again, as well as the Matt/Natalie ups and downs.

Joshuah tells us Allison is ugly on the inside and outside. His comments about her looks all the time are annoying me. I don't care much for her, but I don't think she's an unattractive woman.

Matt knows that he's not the target, but he's not happy to be on the block again. He tells Adam he's just getting carried and Adam gives us crazy eyes in the diary room. Sheila should be a bit quieter about not getting nominated. She thinks Allison should be quieter and that she's (Allison) helped her in the game.

Matt doesn't want cuddles or massages from Matt. He tells us every since he kissed her, she's after him. He didn't mention the bed play he allowed and enjoyed, did he? She is sickening me going after him.

Allison is sure that Matt and Natalie owe her and Ryan for saving them last week. Allison is trying to convince Natalie that if Sheila and Adam go up on the block in place of either couple, vote them out. Natalie looks like she has been hit with a dumbstruck epiphany about the situation. Maybe she is just as dumb as Matt keeps saying! Since they're working a couples game, she shouldn't be letting Allison sway her without input from her partner.

Veto random draw time ... and (as we already know), it's Adam and Sheila! James hosts the comp. Joshuah wants Matt to win. James is dressed in a toga and ivy crown. Cupid is as Cupid Does is the name of the comp. There are wings and puffy clouds in the yard. They have to hoist the women while the guys grab puzzle pieces. The first team with the puzzle solved right wins. Sheila tells adam she's scared of heights.

Matt and Natalie did a good job. They won and Allison looks like she could kill. Chelsia tells us she wants Matt and Natalie out, so she's not happy they won.

Allison is once again going on about Joshuah hating her. She apologized to Ryan for losing the comp. Now it's dance time in the HOH for Matt. He tells us he has to get on everybody's good side. He plays to Joshuah's gay side and gives him a big kiss.

He tells us his approach to Ryan is different and he thinks of him as a friend. He tries to convince Ryan there's still a chance.He thinks he has to be Allison's shoulder to cry on. She tells him that she feels bad that she dragged Ryan into it. He tells her she has to get on Josh's gay side.

Sheila is complaining about Adam fighting with her and not trying the comp. She's the one who balked at heights! Now they're arguing. She said she might as well talk to the wall. James is on the other side of the wall and plays the part. Okay, that was cute.

Sharon is hiding out in the HOH room and doesn't feel well. Matt tells us he has to use his charm with her and make her think he cares about her. (He doesn't.) He tells Sharon that Natalie's dumb, he runs her, but she's not his type. He likes someone more conservative, no fake boobs, etc.

Then he kisses her, telling us that she's playing right into his trap. She tells us she know's what's up.

Natalie is on the hunt for Matt and Sharon, Matt, Matt and Joshuah are all hiding him out. She is creeping me out idolizing him when he keeps turning her down. Sharon, meanwhile, tells Joshuah about Matt's kiss play for her.

Matt is really having a problem with Natalie stalking him. He tries to sit her down. He admits they hooked up, he doesn't want to be mean to her. She thinks he's acting like she's way below him. He says he's never denied that he's been mean to her. He asks her if she's delusional. She thinks they might have been put there because they're supposed to meet. He wants to pinky-swear to be friends only. She tells us that they could be soulmates.

Joshuah is confronted by Allison again. Part of the situation with Allison (not specific to Joshuah) is that she has a way of interrogating rather than talking to people. Same old-same old with them.

An announcement with a siren ... River Virus! They would have to gather in the living room, could happen any time, expect the unexpected. Aha ... that's the siren they keep talking about on the feeds!

"I'm between a Josh and a hard place," says Allison.

[Ah, my feeds post from earlier is now up over on TVS -- I put the link above in beginning of this post.]

Joshuah wants to plan for the siren. They're worried that the mystery siren might change plans.

Ryan thinks the siren could only be good for him. He wants it to happen. The house is against them, he has nothing to lose. Allison too is happy-anticipatory.

Time for the veto meeting. Ryan tells them they deserve to use the power on themselves because they've worked hard to win it. Joshuah says in the best interest of the house that Sheila and Adam be nominated for eviction this week.
