Ryan was happy to get a new stash of cigarettes in his HOH basket. I took this screen cap as he smoked in the yard last night.
Here are the latest happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Dwindling Days:
- Adam and Ryan think whoever the third couple is in the house, they won't 'fess up now. (Well, maybe if they could talk, they would!)
- Sharon is sure the slug in the yard is her same friend from the other night. Ryan and Adam threaten to cook it, so she had to ask Sheila to watch it so she could go to the Diary Room.
- Adam told Sheila that if it's her and Ryan with a preexisting relationship, he's fine with it.
- Ryan thinks Adam and Sharon could be siblings.
- Ryan claims he doesn't know anyone in the house (from before the show) and that he never lies. Well, he's right on one count.
- Sheila thinks that she might be related to Ryan and just not know it. That, to me, doesn't meet the criteria. If you don't know it, you don't have a preexisting relationship. I guess they're thinking along Cowby/Nakomis lines.
- Sheila doesn't understand why BB would deliberately put a target on her and Adam as they're the only couple left. They pledge to be loyal to each other.
- Ryan hinted to Sheila that he might put Adam on the block.
- Adam is sure that Ryan will win POV, too.
- Sharon's slug went missing.
- The guys wondered if Sharon and Sheila might have a lesbian relationship.
- Ryan's worried that since he got the question on the relationship right people will think it's him.
- Sharon played with the guinea pigs as they pondered the relationship thing even more.
- Sheila freaked out when she realized that Natalie's grandmother is from Tennessee and so is she. Horrors! Did she vote out a relative?
- Ryan told Sharon he doesn't want to take Adam to the final two.
- Sharon told Ryan that she knows Adam voted for Natalie to stay because he winked at her as he came out from voting.
- Ryan thinks it would be best for him and Sharon to get Adam out next.
- He just doesn't want to blatantly put him on the block. He really likes Adam.
- Ryan thinks Adam is one who doesn't like to get the blood on his hands and keeps thinking of the jury vote.
- Ryan also thinks that Adam has been playing spineless for weeks now. They decide they'll talk more after they get some sleep.
- All are sleeping as I post this.

The guinea pig thing is just ridiculous. At least someone (Adam of all people) is thinking along the lines of something "fishy" going on.
LOL to Jackie about the Harry Nilsson comment. I bolted upright when it came on AI, and protested loudly to my family that it wasn't a Mariah song, that it was on the radio constantly when I was in high school, the ultimate break-up song. To prove it, I sang it at the top of my lungs with all the angst I could manage. Can you believe that was 1972?
Heh. I have the song by NILSSON (not Mariah) on a 45 RPM record ... from my high school days. It was a very important song to me at the time. I think I liked everything by him. He died way too soon.
But "Without You" and "It's a Wild World" by Cat Stevens were the ultimate heartbroken songs at the time.
Ryan's worried that since he got the question on the relationship right people will think it's him.
*********************************
There you go, seed planted!
I knew BB would go this route, I couldn't wait to view all HG's facial expressions, however none of them appeared shock, only Ryan who lifted his hands up in the air.
Not an eyebrow or lip twitch from Sharon who generally has a habit of biting her lower right lip area.
Adam didn't lean sideways to his left.
The only person who was shocked in real time moment was Ryan and of course Julie Chen.
Ryan has to keep Adam, despite his alliance with Sharon. I sensed Natalie would be evicted.
I've read individuals questioned for months; why Adam Janesky and Sheila Kennedy's name have been the only two HG's names listed on our TVR guide.
If you noticed whose two names Survivor had in their description upload, Most likely Sheila will be evicted! It's year of the eights, Adam and Ryan = 8. While discussing patterns, I mentioned Adam's photo pose ( he's wearing a suit ) It's a media type hand signal pose. However not very many people realize this.
Of course I don't know Ryan nor Adam thus, my eight's wouldn't relate to anything.
I know April is a copycat of January, That's my DaJaVu!
Change your pattern this Friday the 18th of April and Saturday the 19th of April.
Only if January was a horrible month during those two days.
I think there is a possibility that the are going to go to the BB final with 3 people. If they don't start moving things along there will not be time for a 3 part HOH, eviction, and jury questioning when they get down to 3people.
Gee, Ryan almost looks kinda... sexy... in that picture. doesn't he?
Julie said there'd be an eviction next Tuesday and the final HoH would be crowned next Wednesday.
I guess that gets us to the finale a week from Sunday.
So if a HG gets voted out on Tuesday, would not the first part of HOH comp begin? I assume it will be an endurance.
Then we have the next part of the HOH comp take place between the two losers... maybe that will be Wed morning or day...
Bringing us to a live part three on Wed night's show with the 2 winners from each part. The final HOH
will then evict someone on the spot? DO we think?
THey can have the jury question the F2 at the end of the week, to make the final show on Sunday, 4/27.
Does that sound right?
These people can't be real, can they? Didn't they just wander in from a comic book? There is Olive Oly with her top knot and high pitched screak for a voice...always searching for her beby Sweet Pea, the g pigs. There is Bhutto who eats Hamburgers all the time (disquised as pizzas in this incarnation) and Adam, since he has been working out, now has Popeye arms. Sheila would see herself as the damsel in distress in this comic, but I think she just wandered in from a nearby nudey mag and is completely lost as to where she is or what she is supposed to be doing.
I think the only person Ryan could win against now is Shelia, and they might give Shelia the prize for her kid, as Ryan's whole life (and gainful employment) is ahead of him.
Once again, it would suck to see two non-players in that spot. Ryan has won a few things, and he got Natalie to do a lot of his dirty work, but I kinda feel he's as guilty as the rest of them for making his decisions based on whomever got to him last --including when he was in HOH.
With less people in there, Ryan and Shelia have stepped up and played a little, but somehow for me it still feels A LOT too late... come to think of it, I can't make a case for Adam doing much more or Sharon and her blue blanket. ADam just wins the award for most recovered reputation in the house, as he has a heart. And Sharon has offended no one and loves animals, and has had some game, but it's not the kind of game we tune in to see (HELLO Janelle, WIll, James, Nakomis, etc..)
Arrrhguh! Is that what I am saying?
But at least I don't dislike them as much as I did when Jun and Allison spent that SNORE of a week in f2.
I believe Adam will rewind his thoughts back to Sunday's Epi dated 4-6..
Despite how anyone felt about Natalie, it's evident OIMO
Adam, James and Natalie truly have a heart.
Ryan and Sheila indeed are Master Manipulators game or not.
If Adam recalls how both Ryan and Sheila actually became " personally " enraged after Adam stated various reasons why he didn't nominate James, it'll become obvious to Adam ( who I believe is very intelligent ) which of the lesser Master Manipulators he'll evict if he win's POV. Sheila and Ryan are running neck and neck, Sharon has added fuel to the fire, although, I believe this is actually part of her game strategy.
However Sheila and Ryan appear most greedy. Therefore if Adam confronts Ryan, by calling Ryan out,
in regards to why he Ryan used POV on Sheila, only to turn around and vote Natalie out??
Ryan feared had James won POV, himself or Natalie would replace James on the block thus granting Sharon and James control. I reviewed this particular Episode, I believe James would have kept his word ( not remove Sharon off the block ) had he won POV. Sheila in retro is the back stabber not Natalie.
I believe it'll turn into battle of best Manipulator, therefore clearly it'll reflect directly back to either Sheila or Ryan. It's no secret all these HG's realize Adam allows his personal feelings cloud his judgement.
Gambler Ryan is allowing his greed interfere with his game plan, he'll risk it all or accept second while sitting next to Adam.
If Adam is Ryan's target, I guarantee Adam will sense this. My instinct example intake regarding Ryan and Adam's friendship, directs me back to Janelle and Will. Ultimately Janelle evicted Will.
I don't know,Ryan just seems like the ultimate slacker to me. He just floats along in life,smoking his ciggies and drinking beer,listening to rap and hanging out. Time to grow up,Rye Bread???And he's still with Jen and we know how much we liked her. So don't really want Ryan to win it all.
Maybe Sheila is doing the best she can with what life handed her. It is tough to be a single Mom and this old world is getting tougher all the time,what with prices out of control and all. I just think if it came down to Ryan/Sheila in the F2,James and Co might give her props for ousting Gnat.I guess I'd be okay with that.(flip flop)
Sharon,I don't mind,think she comes from an okay family and was probably raised the most normal of the bunch. She's not been too offensive(except that voice of hers)and seems to be pretty level headed. I'm okay with Sharon winning.
Adam is the one that makes my head spin. It's obvious that he's very tender hearted,but,man,some of the other things he does just make my skin crawl. The reports of the sex talk and a girl he knew for one!And calling the kids he works with names,and the hand in pants,and hands in food and on and on. Adam,I am not sure I want to win or do I?(flip flop again) ((sigh))
Ok...if Ryan puts up Adam & Sharon and the noms stay the same then Sheila is the only vote. I seriously doubt she would evict Adam. She has sworn to stick by him and even if they bicker like an old married couple, I do believe she would stay true to her word.
If he puts up Sharon & Sheila, I think Adam would keep Sheila for the same reasons I think Sheila would keep him.
If he puts up Adam & Sheila (which I doubt he has the balls to do) then I think Sharon would keep Sheila.
So...the only way I see Adam going this week would be if he manages to be on the block next to Sheila. Will it happen, who knows?
p.s. Last night was a great night for me in the reality TV world. Not only did Natalie get evicted, but Kristy Lee Cook went home on Idol AND I got to see Elliott Yamin perform!! I went to bed a very happy girl! (excuse me Jackie, I meant "very happy WOMAN!)
:-)
Ryan is the only one playing the game, and has been all along. He is a gambler with a poker face. He will take Sharon with him to F2. Her guys in jury house would vote for her over Natalie or Sheila, but they don't like her and, if given a good reason, would vote for someone else. They saw her as sanctimonious and as a non- entity of their group. They hate that she is still in the house when they are not. Ryan would tell of all his game play and they will vote him the money. He set Adam up to take the fall and will say something like "sorry bro', but your time has come to leave, as he evicts him. If possible he will try to get Adam to vote out Sheila and make himself look good to her for the extra vote. Ryan has played the entire game. He said at the beginning to Jen that she was ruining their game plan by telling and making them a target,...that they were going to lie low and sweep everyone out. The timing of last week's 'meeting' showed you was in control of the house. Ryan.
I think Ryan will nom Sheila and Sharon (to pretend to Adam they are together), then Veto will take off Sharon and Adam will go up and Sharon (at Ryan's request) will send Sheila home, proving to Adam that Ryan is his buddy by not being evicted. If veto isn't won by the right person, then Adam would (to pay back Ryan for not nominating him) vote out Sheila. win/win for Ryan either way. F3 Sharon, Adam and Ryan with Ryan in control. He will then win HOH to evict Adam.
I think that is Ryan's plan
He set Adam up to take the fall and will say something like "sorry bro', but your time has come to leave, as he evicts him.
****************************
It'll be much greater viewer response, if Adam tearfully evicted Ryan, after realizing he'd been set up by Ryan.
Don't you mean that Ryan would say, um you know, um sorry bro, you know, um ........and so on and so on
I think Ryan will nom Sheila and Sharon (to pretend to Adam they are together), then Veto will take off Sharon and Adam will go up and Sharon (at Ryan's request) will send Sheila home, proving to Adam that Ryan is his buddy by not being evicted. If veto isn't won by the right person,
************************
My gut feeling is leaning towards this scenario, except, it'll be Adam who'll eventually evict Ryan.
Shocking Ryan, Shocking Sharon. Basically a very distraught emotionally hurt Adam will follow his heart, probably say something along the lines: yes it's only a game but betrayal Judas has gotten ugly, thus Adam realized Ryan used him and Natalie. It's a win for Adam. Darn a Production Staff fallout dream!
How dumb do they all think Adam is? Sharon was already up in Ryan's hoh room like she did when Sheila won.
Sue - Am I missing something? I didn't think that Josh, James and Chelsia felt like that about Sharon. As a matter of fact, Josh was her best friend in the house. I never heard about them bad mouthing her, but I missed the whole jury house piece last night so maybe they said something bad about Sharon.
Help!
tom's said: It'll be much greater viewer response, if Adam tearfully evicted Ryan, after realizing he'd been set up by Ryan
***
Oh I would love to see that. I always root for the smart people, and I agree with your words that Adam has heart and smarts, at least in this house line up. Once or twice last week I saw Adam's brain wheels working and thought he had it figured out, he asked Ryan some question and Ryan, made an excuse, ran from the room and that stopped the convo. Maybe if Adam sees Sheila threatened, he will see Ryan's play.
Orkmommy. It is a feeling I have, but I think it is based on actual talk. The week Chelsia left, she hated everyone and must have said some thing that led me to form an opinion. I wrote on here about Josh's body language and closing his eyes when he professed his love of Sharon. There were also things like the three (Josh, Chel, James) having team convos when Sharon wasn't around. She was the newcomer to the group that they had to accept because Josh was one of them. See, it is just my imagination saying it. I think James' group will vote for her in F2 if they don't have a better option. She was up against them when they left, though, and that had to hurt. They all campaigned against her at one time or another.
Sharon has played all sides, but she also has annoyed all sides. She is at her best when she is quite and lays low.
Too funny, did you all see the scene from last night, when Sharon was in the hot tub, having an actual conversation with this slimy gross creature????
And then she found her friend, the slug!!!
I like the the Nillson (original) better than the Mariah cover or Celine Dion cover...
orkmommy-- I was glad Kristie Lee was gone too... it irritates me to no end that she was the votefortheworst.com girl, and that is probably why Michael Johns went home.
Sydney I posted late last night about what might happen in the following days about the comps, and ChenBot did say the final 2 would be revealed on Wednesday, plus the feeds are saying, see the finals 2 BEFORE it hits the air, so since their ratings have blown about as good as Natalie does, they want people to get the feeds to watch it play out. A little too late IMO
I'll recopy it in a new post
Here is something I found on BB9Dish about the upcoming days...
"Julie's closing statement has been seriously disturbing my feeble, sleep deprived brain for the past 2 hours now. I think I have it figured out. Here's what Julie said:
"Welcome back ...
Who will Ryan nominate for eviction? Find out Sunday at 8.
Then, I'll be back Tuesday at 9 to find out who makes it to the final 3.
And on Wednesday at 8, the final HOH is crowned live. He or she will single-handedly cast the sole vote in the last eviction of the season, thereby choosing who will sit next to them in the final 2.
From outside the BB house, I'm Julie Chen ..."
OK... Why am I so troubled by all this? Well, it means we're could be in for some serious speeding up over the next couple of days. If the Final HoH is a 3 parter, as it has been in previous seasons - Endurance, Physical, Mental - the first two parts have to be filmed and edited in time for Wednesday night's show.
The most logical plan of attack, and the one that most keeps true to past seasons would have the first part (Endurance) shot Monday, the 2nd part (physical) on Tuesday and the 3rd part (mental) on the live Show Wednesday. This gives AGP plenty of time to edit. It also gives the HGs a day between comps, per usual.
That's if people are sane and humane to their crews.
Then again...
If Julie is revealing the final 3 on Tuesday, it could make sense that the Endurance Comp would start at the end of the Tuesday Show and continue on the Live Feeds Tuesday night, but that leaves very little time to edit the endurance comp, and even less time to edit part 2, the physical comp, filmed presumably Wednesday during the day, and then straight into the final, mental comp Wednesday night?
The only other issue with this is, Julie made no mention of the Tuesday Show being live, so presumably, it wont be.
I'm having difficulty with the notion of the final 3 HoH taking place over a 24 hour period instead of the usual 72 hours...
Any thoughts?"
I agree with Sue-Adam,Sharon and Ryan in the F3. There was a picture of Adam, Sharon and Ryan and the caption under it read "GP". I am not sure with me seeing that picture makes me feel BB is showing us the last three standing.
I feel Adam is the deserving one. He has played the best of the three of them.
I am thinking Shelia is walking this week. It should be interesting to see her exit...if she goes quietly or has a ton to say.
ok - i totally missed Julie talking about next weeks schedule.
It will be interesting to see how they fit this all in.My guess is we will see final three before the weekend is over.
And from hamsterwatch.com
REMAINING SHOWS
My best guess:
Sunday, April 20 at 8pm: nominations, assorted dramas & filler
Tuesday, April 22 at 9pm: final veto comp, eviction, and the start of the Final 3 HOH comp - probably endurance
Wednesday, April 23 at 8pm: HOH comp Part 2 (taped earlier in the day?), and Part 3 Q&A live, with final eviction
Sunday, April 27 at 8pm: Finale will include jury questioning, evictees & jury check-ins, and voting for & announcing the winner
I am watching Housecall. Dick is on. He said Adam has more of a relationship with his finger to his nostril than anything else in the house. He is too funny!
He believes Sharon was robbed of HOH.
I missed Julie saying all that too, Jamie. I think I was probably reading this blog and not paying attention.
I don't think Sharon was robbed. All of those questions were a best guest to begin with. Any of them could have answered right or wrong at any time (which they did). Ryan guessed at the guinea pig and got it right. Adam and/or Sharon could have guessed and got it right also, but they didn't.
The whole question was stupid. It' just BB adding drama when they didn't need to. Those people cause enough drama on their own!
I forgot to ask this question earlier so... Did anyone with the feeds see Adam, Sheila & Ryan talking about the vote anymore after the show? If I were them, I would tell her that having them each vote the way they did and making her break the tie was the most fair way to do it. That way each of them got a vote and it wasn't any one of them doing the dirty work of the others. I'm surprised they didn't talk about the before hand. Or maybe they did & I didn't see it...
Dick is giving his prediction for this week...he thinks Adam is going home this week. He thinks both gals are going up, one will win POV and take herself off and Adam will go up and Adam will evicted.
Speaking of Nilsson, I have been trying to find "everybody's talkin at me.... I can't hear a word they're sayin' Only the echoes of my miiiiiind" on itunes. What has happened to him? And I doubt there's a soundtrack album --- er, CD from Midnight Cowboy.
Sydney, It looks like you can get that CD at several places. Google it and you will find it.
I have that song in my head now. It's nice ...
I think everyone is forgetting one thing about an endurance comp. Now that they've gotten rid of Natalie (also JMO the real reason why Ryan voted her out), no one in that house has any endurance. They will all drop out after a couple of hours. The crew shoudl have plenty of time to edit it in one day.
Good afternoon all! No I wasn't sulking because Natalie got evicted, LOL. I have actually been very busy at work today and couldn't find a minute to check in until now! Don't you just hate it when you actually have to work at work?
As I predicted, it seems like Adam will be the next victim. If Sharon keeps hanging in there like this, I'm gonna have to rethink my dislike of the "fly under the radar" method of game play, because it really seems to be working for her.
I know all you heartless people were probably whooping and hollering when Natalie got evicted (just kidding), but you can call me a sucker, cuz I really felt sorry for her! She took it really hard and now has to go to the jury house to be greeted by 3 people that despise her and her Mattie, who could care less about her.
i'm hoping that she'll finally understand once and for all that Matt doesn't want her and get over him. At least now it won't be on national tv.
I felt sorry for Natalie too. She's going to meet hostility in the sequester house. Matt may or may not align himself with her.
I'm surprised that Adam at least, and possibly all of them, haven't carefully parsed the use of the word "relationship" vs. "relative".
They keep looking for people who are related, and the term for that is relative, or at best, relation.
Maybe after a night's sleep, they'll think more clearly today about it.
Of course, the guinea pigs might very well be related to each other, they could be littermates, in which case Julie should have deliberately used the word "relative" to really mess with their heads! Which of course they are doing anyway
The other thing they don't seem to quite grasp is that Julie said a relationship "still in the house", yet they are talking about people that are long gone.
sydney and terry....am from pa and nj.....south jersey beach town....right on the beach! YEA!! weather is fabulous....gets the hamster webs outa my head.
can't really figure out what ryan will do. sharon or adam? i am assumming sheila is a given...but maybe there shoudn't be any assumptions with this crazy group.
i REALLY do not want sharon to win.
um...sydney...about ryan looking sexy in that pic......come on girl...snap out of it! SYDNEY!! clear your brain....we're here for ya....yu can do it....come on...deep breath....there ya go....WHEW! don't want to lose a friend to fog brain.
rbennie...i was sorry to see nat go too...felt sorry for her. i could take her over james anyday!
i can see adam keeping sheila, but i can't see shelia keeping adam over sharon.
Sydney asked:
"Speaking of Nilsson, I have been trying to find "everybody's talkin at me.... I can't hear a word they're sayin' Only the echoes of my miiiiiind" on itunes. What has happened to him?"
Harry Nilsson passed away in January 1994. To find his stuff on iTunes, look under his full name. When I checked it was on his "Greatest Hits" album and "Very Best of Harry Nilsson."
FINALLY....we have a week coming up that's worth watching!! Lots of comps. going on, Ryan is going to have show his true alliance, and I think our last couple will split up. I haven't seen any feeds but I bet Sheila is furious with Adam for voting to keep Nat. That showed her that he had more loyalty to Nat. than to Sheila....and you know what they say "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"!
Sydney--re: Ryan looks kind of hot---is that your "bad boy" side coming out?? LOL
Also, the song reference--you must have been thinking of the HG--"everyone is talking at me, but I don't hear a word they're saying...." LOL
I'm trying to figure out the next week's schedule-how does this sound:
Thurs(today)--Nominations
Fri.--POV and ceremony
Sat.--campaigning(maybe luxury comp.)
Sun.--eviction and start endurance
Mon--endurance and rest
Tues--physical
Wed.--mental comp. and F2
There is not another HOH is there?? If so, why? After this eviction there are no more nominations.
Well, I'm going to jump back and read some of the 250+ comments from last night and check out the live feeds(thanks again Plaidchick and Zoe--I guess the dishes will have to wait)!!
The HG's have been told some sort of comp is happening today. Beavis, Butthead, the 46 year old, and floater think it's a food comp or luxary comp....
In the midst of my being really realy domestic, I'll turn on the feeds and keep yall posted
orkmommy--so glad to see you back posting!! But a new job on Monday?? Does that mean you will have to work and not be posting with us on the most important week of this season??
I'm guessing that Matt is so bored in seq. that when Nat. arrives he will go right back to using her for his own entertainment and she will believe everything he tells her--especially with no cameras rolling!
Totally off topic but unbelieveable---I got up this morning and discovered that our neighbors--who are questionable at best--had ran an extension cord from their house to our outside plug and were using OUR electricity because theirs had been shut off!!! Now that's balls!! What did I do?....bit my tongue, unplugged the cord and threw it back in their yard. I'm now wondering how many nights this has been going on?? They are not the kind of people I would want to confront so I'm going to see what happens.
Even though I was happy to see Natalie go, I do have sympathy for her. I see her as a survivor with a lot of pain behind that makeup and hair. My guess is that she has been hurt a lot in her life and doesn't see how her survival techniques are hurting her now. She was betrayed by her boys and I think it's not her first or last betrayal. She trusted Mattie and she trusted Tweedledee and Tweedledum ... only to find out they are out for themselves (as they should be in this game). I'll bet she's never trusted another woman in her life!
I think she really is all alone in her own little world and I feel sorry for her in the sequester house, where nobody needs anything from her.
All that being said, I'm glad she's out of the BB house!
Sydney, step away from the computer and think about your post about Ryan looking sexy. We are all here to help and won't let a friend go there. Nope!!
Feeds are blocked.
Nana call the police on your "neighbors" OMG!!
Nana, if you are afraid of calling the police, see if that outlet is on a separate breaker that can be flipped to off. If not, turn the breaker off to that outlet long enough to take the "hot" wire off of it...then turn the breaker back on after putting a wire nut on the wire.
Nana, WTF? Those are some stupid neighbors. I can understand not wanting to confront them. Retribution can be hard to take and that's what people like that count on. Can you lock your power box?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr... let us after them!
Just wondering - does Sharon hold the record yet for most times on the block? If not, does anyone know who does?
nancy in pa..sounds like a great place to be. I am landlocked, with only the river nearby. It is not the same.
rbennie and others, I liked Natalie, too. I didn't start watching closely until just before Matt left and that might be why I wanted to be nice to her. I missed her in action. I tended to give her the benefit of the doubt. I liked Sharon and then something went on (she talked and I listened) a couple of weekends ago and I developed a real dislike for her. I am the first to say, it probably has nothing to do with Sharon as a person, but I really don't like to see her in that house. Just my personal opinion.
I was sorry to see Nat go because she left thinking her last speech was why Sheila voted to evict. I hated to see her feeling guilty about telling tales, when all of them are doing it. When they had that meeting, all of them, except, Nat knew that it was Sheila's intension all along to back door Nat and yet none of them brought that lie up. I think leaving might have been easier for her if she had known of that plan and not thought it was a last minute mistake she made.
Just my thoughts.
I would think Sharon has the record for most times on the block... but I would be sure she has the record for most consecutive times there. How about most times used as a pawn too?
anon@4:23 said: "A pre-existing relationship could be one you know nothing about. It is still a relation(ship)"
Technically, linguistically, yes, correct.
However, have you ever used or heard it used in that context, ever? Even now, you put the (ship) part in parentheses, and for good reason.
Use it in a sentence, in the context they are assuming:
"I had/have a relationship with someone I have never met"
"I have a relationship with a cousin that I don't know exists"
"My friend has a relationship with her father's cousin's step-son, who she has never met and doesn't know exists"
It's completely self-contradictory when you try to use it in that context.
Try it. Give me a sentence where it makes sense.
The real key that the houseguests should be thinking about, is why Julie didn't use the more obvious and traditional word, which would be relative or relation. Well, she didn't because neither Ryan/Jen nor Sharon/Jacob were relatives, and she used them as examples. So, it should follow that the examples were used for a reason, and that the connection is not by blood/marriage. Although the guinea pigs likely *are* connected by blood.
Still, some critical thinking on their part should lead them away from the wrong path they're on.
NanaNW-Are the BB HGS living next door to you? After all they are not paying for anything while being in the house.
Your neighbors should be reported, to say the least. It is stealing and trespassing and it is ILLEGAL. I would call your Electric Company to see if they can put something on your outlet to prevent them from stealing anymore electricity from you or mointor it somehow. Did they (neighbors) not pay their bill and this is why they are leachers? Is there a way a security light can come on when they trespass on your property? I would set my alarm some night and go see if they have it plugged in again. I would unplug the cord and hopefully they would oversleep...teach them a lesson!
I hope they are not BB watchers and heard you ousting one of their favorite players. Hopefully things will be taken care of soon.
How is Josie?
Nana - that's unbelievable, but not. Neighbors can be great watchdogs and friends but they can also be idiots. Sounds like you got the idiots. You throwing the extension cord back in their yard reminded me of my ex-idiot neighbor.
I had a neighbor who kept his dog on a trolley chain (clothesline actually), and he would go away for days and not leave enough water. And this was in July. I filled a cooler up with water and sat it over the fence so the dog could get to it. What did the neighbor do???? He came home flung the cooler, water and all, back over the fence into my backyard then he got rid of the dog. I've always wondered what happened to him (the dog, not the neighbor). Thank God he doesn't live next door any more.
orkmommy, I agree about the relationship question being okay by BB standards. And as I see the 'relationship' it means they shared the same habitat in days before the BB house entry. The g. pigs as hgs have been a running joke with BB/DR most of the game, BB has personified them. The hgs don't know that. BB stated it was the g pigs, but it could have been two of the slugs Sharon keeps finding.
Nana in nw. That frightens me. Anything and anyone who doesn't recognize personal boundaries scares me, though. I think that was why I didn't warm up to James. We had a neighbor who hooked up to our cable tv box. We didn't find out about it until a cable tech was at our house for our poor reception complaint. He found it and took care of it, but I always wondered if the neighboring thieves thought we had turned them in. If you do anything about it, calling the electic company would be the best, since they know that happens when someone is shut off. Tell the call taker you don't want neighbor problems and ask them to look to see if a shut off house is still off. They handle that type of thing all the time and will keep your name out of it, if you ask them. zndpyf
I just read that there was a comp that just ended, and Sheila and Adam lost, and will be chained together for 24 hours (LOL!)
But my biggest question is: does that mean Sheila has to go to the bathroom with Adam? How cruel can BB get? @@
I just love this place!! Where else can you go to vent about everything from dog dilemas to mooching neighbors? I did contact my Utilites Co. and found out these people's power has been shut off for a week! Now I wonder how many nights have they been tapping into ours. The utility co. is going to come read our meter and see if there has been an increase in usage. They also suggested contacting the police because this is a civil crime. I am reluctant to do that as I know the man has been arrested for domestic violence and burglery. I having been spying on them today(do you see images of Mrs. Kravitz[Bewitched] now)and I think they are moving. I would guess probably skipping out on their rent!! I did call the leasing company and left a message regarding the situation. My husband is going to turn off the breaker when he gets home(thanks Donna in al).
Sounds like Ryan is still telling everyone what they want to hear. He can only play that game for a few more days....
I thought both Sheila and Sharon looked very nice last night. Sheila looks like she has lost some weight since the show started--maybe that slop diet works!
Off to check the feeds and see if the comp. is over....and then turn back into a domestic goddess because the dryer has stopped-time to fold clothes!!

Critical thinking on their part??
Bwahahahahahahaha! Thanks for the afternoon laugh. I needed it!

REMAINING SHOWS
My best guess:
Sunday, April 20 at 8pm: nominations, assorted dramas & filler
Tuesday, April 22 at 9pm: final veto comp, eviction, and the start of the Final 3 HOH comp - probably endurance
Wednesday, April 23 at 8pm: HOH comp Part 2 (taped earlier in the day?), and Part 3 Q&A live, with final eviction
Sunday, April 27 at 8pm: Finale will include jury questioning, evictees & jury check-ins, and voting for & announcing the winner

Hi Plaidchick!
I'm not sure how close Dingo's best guess is.
I know that they are taping on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and possibly (call pending) Saturday of next week.
It will be interesting to see how they do it this year.
Nana NW-I'm glad to hear you called the Power Company. I think it will be handled now. Sorry to hear the guy is abusive and would MAYBE be the type to seek revenge.
Whatever the comp was it's Vegas style.
Adam and Shelia lost and now they have to be chained together for 24 hrs. Sharon won a Beverly Hills shopping spree. Something about a spa treatment for Ryan and Sharon once there is a wrap party. Bet Jen will like hearing that!
Also Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher names were mentioned. They have starred in the movie to be release on Friday "What Happens in Vegas"...so maybe someone will be watching a movie?
What's up on the blog today?
Nana...
Sorry to hear about the power thieves. I understand your dilemma. I don't like confrontation with people who may retaliate. Do you know how long this has been going on? Calling your power company seems like the best solution. The power company can compare your bill from last year during the same months and possibly deduct the over charges.
Donna...
I didn't know we had an electrician in our group. LOL You knew exactly what to do. WTG!

Gee, Ryan almost looks kinda... sexy... in that picture. doesn't he?
I think the operative word is ALMOST. ;) He doesn't do a thing for me. He reminds me of a beer bellied slacker as someone mentioned. When R & Jen were together in the house I wondered what the heck she saw in him.
The relationship issue is really funny. I think the house guests are probably so bored that they're thinking overtime just for something to do.
Did anyone find out where the SH is? I'm sure Nat will see it as a sign from God that she's meant to be with Mattie and that's why she was evicted. Even though I wanted her out, I did feel sorry for her. She seems like the victim type but can flip and be totally self-righteous and vindictive. She could really benefit from therapy.
Sue...
Sounds like a good plan you've got cut out for Ryan. I supposed it all depends on who wins POV.
We're really getting down to the end now. I don't think I'm going to be too excited about the winner. I was never really rooting for anyone this season. It sort of takes the fun out of it when you don't have a fav. But, I've had such great fun with all of you here thanks to Jackie.

These people can't be real, can they? Didn't they just wander in from a comic book? There is Olive Oly with her top knot and high pitched screak for a voice...always searching for her beby Sweet Pea, the g pigs. There is Bhutto who eats Hamburgers all the time (disquised as pizzas in this incarnation) and Adam, since he has been working out, now has Popeye arms. Sheila would see herself as the damsel in distress in this comic, but I think she just wandered in from a nearby nudey mag and is completely lost as to where she is or what she is supposed to be doing.

ROTFL! You're as funny as Jackie.
I recently made a graphic with A & R as "Beavis and Butthead". I think they're all cartoon characters. :D
Hope everyone is well.
Later~
I'm thinking maybe they are going to the premiere of the movie(this Friday ?) in Las Vegas and get to meet Diaz and Kutchner--that would be cool. BB usually does some kind of luxury that allows HG to leave.
That would be soooo funny to let Ryan and Sharon leave and have Adam and Sheila alone in the house and chained together!!!!
Nominations tonight?
Survivor sounds like some good action tonight!
Chained together you say? Are there mouth restraints? Poor Adam, hasn't the guy suffered enough? That means Sheila can't sleep in her boat bed either. Adam isn't her type you know. I thought those two would be gone the first eviction. At the time, I think the others said there would always be time to target them in the future since Sheila was just annoying and not a threat. Adam and Ryan won't be able to talk game without Sheila, same true of Sharon and Sheila. And Adam will have only one free hand to use for various itches.
Thanks for all who mentioned Julie's parting message. I watched it and she does say she will be there Tues and Wed. So will it be Wednesday to Sunday with only two. I don't ever understand that. The show is basically over and no one has any game left to talk and yet it continues.
Where is the SH?? I noticed Matt was wearing long pants when he was outside a few times, there is greenery with a pond, dirt pathways, and yet sunny enough for Chel. to be tanning. I don't know Calif./Nev. real well but maybe somewhere in the hills or Palm Springs area?
Calif. folks what are your thoughts??
The SH is probably local to where the BB house is. Maybe just down the freeway or something, or could just be a few block away.
Why would they put them somewhere far away from the studio?
I thought they were being mightily delusional when they were speculating that it was in Hawaii (why?? they can't go out anywhere, why put it in a special location?)
Does anyone know what is going on with Lost tonight? The guide shows it is 2 hours and it looks like it is one show. Not like the last times when they showed the previous show first and then the new one. Is this a new 2 hour one? It is really messing up my schedule tonight if so.
As far as what the locale actually looks like, it could be La Canada, Valencia, Pasadena, Glendale - or even the Hollywood hills (which is just south of where the BB house is)
Patty-great advise to Nana in the NW about contacting the Electric Co.
Thanks for the update on the comps
Who will be reaching for the Tylenol first...Adam or Shelia, now that they are chained together?
Do you think a couple of the HGS will be leaving to see the movie? I am thinking they won't met Cameron and Ashton, they are stars in the movie. (What Happens In Vegas-is the name of the movie)
It sounds like Sharon picked them to be chained together.
What if the Adam has to go on the block with Sheila, since they're chained together?
Has the nom happened yet? When do they get *hooked* up?
Shelia and Sharon have been nominated.
Shelia and Adam are chained now.
Sharon and Ryan won a shopping spree in Beverly Hills with Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz..
Because Adam and Sheila lost, that got chained for 24 hours, and Sharon and Sheila got nominated.
Ryan asked Sharon who she wants in the final 3 with them-- she said she wants Adam GONE. No big surprise there.
Sheila-- of course says "SHE" deserves the frikkin shopping spree that they all dress in thrift-shop clothes.
If I didn't want her to win before, I really don't want her to win now.
BBAD should be good tonight
Bad weather coming, out west of here there was so much hail and it was so large that the ground looks like a snow storm hit.. YIKES!!!
Lost was a wash! Repeat from last two. I thought it was going to be a 3 hour finale... 2 tonight and one tomorrow night... or do I have my dates confused. At any rate, I don't like these kind of repeats.
Does everybody think that Ryan really wants to take Sharon to F-2 or is he just keeping her around for the moment?
Going to bed early... need to get some much needed sleep. Jackie how do you do it.
NANA in NW YIKES!!! how disgusting, let us at 'em!
I know Ive read all the comments about the relationship ploy (ie GP) but come on, is Alison Grodner that pathetic that she is stooping to that for intrique and twists? COME ON! I totally bought into the whole BB DNA thing..Cowboy/Nakomis, etc..the twins..but this? animals? low....
Nancy in PA, good for you! My daughter goes to NJ shore for vacations, she wants us to find a home there instead of PA....
nmIt's a GOOD thing that Sheila and Adam are no longer chained together. We may have been witness to the first murder in BB history if they stayed that way for much longer.
I'm not feeling a lot of pity for Gnatalie. She was trying to outsmart them throughout the whole game. In the end, they outsmarted her.
It seemed to me her tears were only for the shock that she was feeling at her own mess-ups. She had thought that she had this game in the bag. She didn't see R & A's meeting coming and she had no time to cover herself. She had to tell Ryan that he and Adam were the ones she was loyal to. She may have meant it, but showing her hand to Sheila gave Sheila the exact thing she needed to blame Gnat's ouster on; Gnat herself, and Gnat gave it to her on a silver platter. Gnat got caught in her own web and that pissed her off.
She messed up big time by playing both sides right to the end. She could have eased up on that strategy after James left. But that power was intoxicating to her, she really believed she could play everyone and still get their votes later by telling all that SHE was not the liar in the house. Ryan knew exactly what he was doing in exposing just enough of Gnat's plotting and getting her to admit her alliance with R&A It worked. He caught Gnat with her pants down and he voted her out. It didn't matter if Adam changed his vote. Ryan knew that after that meeting, Sheila's vote was more than secure. Gnat did herself in because she went too far for too long, thinking she was invincible. She even said that playing both sides was her mistake. Those tears were for herself.
It sounds like Adam and Shelia were chained already yesterday...they are no longer chained now.
I wonder why Ozzie did not use the idol. He must have been attacked by the Gnat vibe...Ozzie you should have run! ED better start thinking about getting a headstart from Shelia. It won't be long and she will be chasing him.
Poor ED. Matt may not be the only one needing a protection order.
