Big Brother 9 4/16 Live Eviction Live Blogged From the East Coast

Yep, Zoetawny does it again with a new graphic for tonight's show!

The show has started here on the east coast. As it airs, I'll constantly update this entry.Please forgive typos. And you know I love to read your comments!

Ohh ... Julie has short sleeves on ... she's wearing her arms! Her hair is up, too.

Sharon tells us Natalie has no idea how bad they want her out this week. Natalie is confident that she's just a awn. Sheila says she will be backdoored.

Natalie says to Adam and Ryan that she wants to go to the final three with them. Ryan tells us Natalie plays all sides and you don't know what to believe. Ryan and Adam decide a house meeting. I hate the way Ryan calls the girls "my bitches." Apparently he's racist and sexist!

Natalie is worried. They tell her there's going to be a meeting -- "things came out we need to confront." She's worried she's going home. Sheila acts suprised in the DR -- What are they doing?

Now they want her to come to the table, house meeting. She's dying her hair. Oh, I can stop typing for a while, because this is the video I uploaded before. :-)

Sheila says that the guys ruined her whole plan. She no longer knows if they're going to evict Natalie as she wants. Adam and Ryan talk. Ryan wants to go tell Natalie what's up. They tell her that she's playing too hard. She tells them she never lied to them, only to the girls. Now she gets teary. She says the girls threw her under the bus. She cries. She says she's loyal to them, always have been.

Will the tears work? I guess we'll know soon, eh?

Nat's in the kitchen and confronts Sharon (of course that was a whole day later). Sharon holds her own. Natalie denies anything but loyalty to the boys. Sharon just looks at her in disbelief.

Sheila asks Adam and Ryan who they're keeping. Sheila tells them Natalie is a bigger fish. Adam says he has to go with his heart. Now, this is last night's footage.

Hmm ... Julie told us James has some surprising words for his girlfriend Chelsia. What could that be? It better not be a marriage proposal!

Julie is going to chat with the houseguests. Natalie -- Adam and Ryan called your loyalty into question and you said you were loyal to them. Sharon says it wasn't her battle, let them get out what they felt. Sheila feels that she was thrown under the block and hurt. Ryan says it needed to be called out for Natalie's sake, it needed to be all out there on the table. Question -- F2 sit next to deserving or easy to beat. Adam says deserving because he can beat anyone. Sharon and natalie say deserving, so does Ryan. Sheila agrees.

Jury house -- Chelsia still has feelings for James. Josh is upset he got evicted by Natalie. Matt keeps to himself. James enters. Matt is happy he got booted. Chelsia feels bad that he didn't win. James has the DVD. James told them Adam gave him a shot. He tells people it really effects people when you leave on a bad note. He blames Chelsia for his getting evicted. He was the residue of Chelsia. She goes off crying. She's upset. James goes to her, hugs her. He consoles her. Tells her he's okay with leaving but he knows he fell for a girl.

I just figured out who James is reminding me of. Picture no pink mohawk -- Matthew Broderick.

DR pre-vote stuff. Ryan is thinking of keeping Nat, but she's good at comps. Adam thinks Sharon is easy to beat in comps, but she has some definite votes from the jury. He's dead stuck on this, he says.

Julie talks to the nominees. Sharon says thank you for keeping her here all theses times, again same speech. Natalie thanks BB for experience of a lifetime. She loves her boys, her loyalty is with them, she gets teary for votes once again.

The votes:
Ryan votes to evict Natalie
Adam votes to evict Sharon

It's a tie! After commercial ... I predict Sheila will cry and tell us it's the hardest decision she has ever had to make in the house.

Julie announces there is a tie. Both girls look worried. She tells Natalie that she just told all of America her loyalties were with the boys and she just can't have her evict her. Natalie weeps. Natalie is evicted. I don't think she'll hold up well with the jury. Adam or Ryan said it was fair.

She tells Julie she's beautiful. Sheila tells them that she made her job easier (with the speech I believe). She says she couldn't risk saving her.

Julie tells Nat she looked like a sure thing to be in the final four. She's shocked they let it go to a tie and she got evicted. She's upset at both boys because she was sure they were going to keep her. Playing all sides cost her she thinks. She claims she was trying to protect the boys.

Goodbye messages -- Sharon says people didn't know what to believe. Ryan wishes her good luck. Adam tells her it's strictly gameplay. Sheila apologizes and cries. Amazing heart, do care, say hello to Mattie for her.

HOH comp -- They're on a huge round platform with walls -- Fact or Fiction, about the houseguests. Step forward for fact, back for fiction. 7 questions, most points wins.

Allison received the fewest votes to come back? Jacob. Adam got it wrong. Sharon smiled.

Toy in GP cage still holds BB secret. Fiction. No one right

Chelsia was escorted out of the jury house by security. Fiction. Sharon only one right, takes lead.

Number 8 has a secret meaning in BB game. Fiction. Sharon and Ryan right.

Amanda faked an illness to win over housemates. Fiction, all right.

James and Chelsia have stopped speaking to each other at jury house. Fiction, all right.

Third pre-existing relationship STILL in house? FACT One still in the house!

Ryan and Sharon to a tiebreaker. HOH comp Glass Houses, how many total combined minutes did all stay in their boxes.

Argh. Ryan won HOH. They're more wondering about a previous relationship in the house.

I wonder if the guinea pigs are the other relationship. ;-)

BB9 - Pre-Live Show Video

The feeds are on later towards the show tonight. Usually they're blocked a good hour or two before the show. I took this video about five minutes ago and got it up on YouTube.

Latest BB9 Feeds Report

Heh. Zoetawny made a Natalie vs. Evil-Doers graphic for us! It's perfect! Thank you, Zoetawny ... you know how much you rock!

And I want to thank you all for all of the great comments and community here on the blog lately. I've been bogged down and haven't had the chance to spend much time commenting, but I am indeed reading them. I love it! What a fantastic group we've become! Yay! I have to say the one which made me laugh out loud was the anonymous commenter saying God wanted her to be here pretending to be someone else. But the community has to be the best I've seen on anything show related for ... well, forever! Thank you!

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. As usual, I'll be live blogging tonight's show here in a separate post. Thankfully I don't have to write the review afterwards. I've been filling in for JJ on his BB nights there for a while but the Wednesday show is Kristin's post.

I'll close for now with another shot of Roofus I took yesterday morning.

Big Brother 8 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning and STUFF

Oh, I know this isn't a screen cap from the feeds. But, can you find Roofus the Cat in this photo I took early yesterday morning on my way to work? You can click on the photo to enlarge it. Look, it's SPRING! (Finally.) I have some other photos I took which I'll post a bit later today.

My live feeds report from last night went up on TV Squad went up during the show and my latest show review is up there, too. As for me, I was running a bit on empty last night and I apologize for not posting another update until now. Although I'm on the very tired side lately between work, the upcoming knee surgery, the knee itself, the blogging at TVS and here ... I see a light at the end of the tunnel!

I'm taking a vacation week next week so covering the big final HOH comp will be not an issue at all. The finale is a week from Sunday. While I really love covering the show, it becomes very time consuming and I'm always happy when a season ends and those four hours of sleep nights are in the past. Since I should be past the worst part of recovery, but still off from work, during BB10, that should be a lot less exhausting!

Today I'm taking my cat to the vet for a check-up and her shots to make sure she's all set for boarding while I'm in the hospital and the subsequent rehab hospital. (They want me to go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no.") I have to return a call to the doctor's office because they left a message here while I was at work. They told me my papers are ready to pick up. Hmmm ... not sure what that's all about. Maybe the admission stuff for the hospital or the medical clearance test stuff. I guess I'll find out. It's now less than a month away ... before they saw my leg apart ...! Wah!

Okay, I'm better now. Enough about STUFF, let's get into the happenings from last night and overnight inside that Big Brother House of Wailing Wannabes:

• Natalie continued to campaign against Sharon and tried to earn favor with the boys. No, she didn't offer them oral sex. You know she never did that with Matt! She says so!
• But there was a lot of sex talk if that counts as oral. :-)
• Adam wondered if they should just go ahead and vote Natalie out since she thinks she's going home.
• Natalie told Adam that Sheila and Sharon are two "nutballs." She told him that they're throwing him under the bus, she isn't.
• Natalie is all of a sudden Adam's bestest new friend and decides that Sharon is "SheDog." Or is that Sheila?
• Sharon told Sheila that Natalie is dumb. (Or is that D-U-M?) Natalie says she's campaigning hardcore but the boys will vote the way they want.
• Sharon, not knowing the boys aren't 100% on board with her anymore, thinks Natalie is panicking.
• Sheila is still very against Natalie staying. She told Sharon that she likes Ryan more and just tolerates Adam. I don't think that's altogether true. Watching her, the relationship with them is very different, but she and Adam remind me of a brother/sister or mother/son kind of thing. She's definitely closer and more open with Adam.
• Adam thinks Natalie is giving up but Ryan keeps encouraging her.
• He says they have to weigh their options and minimize their risk.
• Adam and Ryan talked together and agreed they're both voting out Sharon.
• Meanwhile, Sharon told Sheila that Ryan said he was not voting for Natalie.
• Natalie, apparently feeling saddened by the house atmosphere, didn't come to dinner with the rest of the houseguests.
• Adam did some odd robot character for much too long.
• Natalie finally had her dinner. Sheila made sure they saved a dish for her.
• Sheila and Adam bickered like an old married couple who fight for decades, but stay together.
• The vultures are already talking about who will get Sharon's slop pass. If she goes this week, there's only a matter of a week left. They can all live on slop! If I were Sharon and got evicted, I'd take it with me as a souvenir and laugh about them on slop.
• Ryan says that Sharon and Sheila are watching out for each other, but Natalie is in with them (the boys). If Sharon goes this week, Natalie and Sheila will be pitted against each other.
• Adam told Ryan he has to follow his heart and do the right thing ... which is to keep Natalie. (She cried real tears to him!)
• Adam told Ryan he wants Sheila in the final three with them and Natalie will be a vote for them no matter who throws her out.
• Ryan is more into a final three scenario of himself, Adam, and Natalie.
• Sharon told Natalie that they're going to try to get them mad at each other, but she always had her back no matter what anyone says.
• Sheila begged Adam to stick with the plan for getting Natalie out this week, that they'll risk jury votes by keeping her.
• She doesn't want blood on her hands. She's now thinking Adam will vote for Natalie to stay and Ryan will vote for Sharon to stay. If that happens, she'll vote for Natalie to go home and get those hands all bloody.
• Sheila confronted Sharon saying that Adam told her both Natalie and her (Sharon) were throwing her (Sheila) under the bus.
• She told Sharon now the boys want to keep Natalie.
• Sharon told her she's sure Ryan won't vote to keep Natalie. She doesn't mention her alliance with him although it's been quiet on that front lately. I'm not sure when Ryan's lying or not these days.
• Sheila thinks Natalie wants to be up against Ryan as the final two.
• She thinks the boys think that both of them can win against Natalie with the jury.
• Sheila cried. She realizes the boys are running the game, not her at this point.
• Natalie thinks if she remains, Sheila will take credit for it and tell her she told her she'd be safe.
• Adam, Ryan, and Sheila had a powwow in the HOH room.
• Ryan harped on the loyalty factor. What has Sharon ever done for them in the game?
• Sheila tells them that if she breaks a tie and keeps Natalie, Natalie will surely vote out one of them (the boys) next week.
  
• Sheila tells them that she herself has been loyal to them and that if Natalie stays, she will be voted out next week.
• Sheila basically freaked out at them all over the place.
• Sheila thinks that James will influence the rest of the jury and will be happy if given Natalie, better for all of them when thinking of votes at the end.
• Ryan says he doesn't care what James, Chelsia, and Joshuah think. Sheila reminds them that they're the ones who might make a difference in the jury vote at the end.
• After they split up, Sharon talked to Ryan. He denied they were planning on voting her out.
• Ryan told her Sheila is just freaking out and that she's safe this week.
• Sheila cried some more.
• Sharon told Sheila that Ryan's still on her side. Sheila tried to tell her otherwise.
• Sheila thinks it will be a tie and tells Sharon if she keeps her, she has to promise to protect her.
• They promise to protect each other.
• Adam feels bad because he was so nasty to Sheila, cursing at her and all.
• Natalie told Adam that if Sharon stays, Sheila has two people in her corner -- Adam and Sharon. She, Natalie, is all alone. (Wah.)
• Natalie told Adam his gut is telling him he needs to vote out Sharon. (His gut sounds a lot like Natalie!)
• Sheila vowed to not talk to Natalie all next week if she stays. (That might be viewed as an incentive for her to stay, I think.)
• Now the boys are talking ... if Sheila wants a split vote, she'll get a split vote. Hmmm.
• So, now the latest on the vote is that they will split it and let Sheila get her hands all bloody.
• We'll see.
  

Big Brother 9 - 4/15 Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

I got in late from work tonight and my latest live feeds report is still in pending over at TV Squad. Hopefully it will go live soon.

The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome! Since the entry in this blog is written as I watch television, please forgive any typos!

Will Sheila's plan to get Natalie on the block succeed or backfire? Hmmm ... gee, I don't know. we had the HOH end in color, now the nominations in black and white, into color for Day 64. Sheila tells us once again her real target is Natalie, worst case scenario is Natalie winning POV. Sharon tells us Natalie doesn't know the whole house is against her. Natalie brags to us about playing both sides -- Team Christ and the Girls.

Adam is worried. Sharon seems confident that Natalie will end up on the block and she'll be safe.

Natalie runs up to the HOH to play Sheila as she plays all the HOH. Sheila tells us she bashes Adam in front of the girls, but she really wants to go to the end of the game with him.

Natalie tills Adam he'll have her vote to stay. Ryan says he's not calling Adam out but he put everyone in their alliance at risk last week. Ryan, liking to take over, tells Adam he can't blame Sheila. For saying he's not the target, Ryan sure is being nasty to Adam.

Sheila complains about Natalie never really communicating with her. "False witnesses never profit." - Adam. He says Natalie is Judas.

The POV tonight screen came on the plasma TV. Adam wants to be on and off, DUN. It's a night time POV. Sheila says Natalie cannot win this and it's her only chance to get Natalie out of the house.

Sheila tells Sharon she has her bleepin' word she won't go home. Natalie gets "preemies" - premonitions that all will go well. Preemies? Sheesh!

They have to go to separate rooms and get called one by one to the backyard t compete. Once again, Sheila tells us she doesn't want Natalie to win. A giant TV, remote control, 70s love shack according to Natalie. Channel surfing, use the remote contraols, if all are on the right channel the puzzle will be solved.

Nat -- Where's the top of Adam's head? She realizes that all the houseguests faces and the guinea pigs with HG hairdos puzzles. She finally decides to go for the guinea pigs.

Adam is up, he has to win. Ryan is up, he wants to win. Sharon feels she's at risk. Sheila is looking confused. She says Natalie is great at puzzles. Adam first made a proper workspace. Ryan kept staring at Jen's picture -- he was mesmerized by her beauty. Jacob's face was on Evel Dick's body. Sheila is hot for Evel Dick. He took over she said. "Is it taking me a million frickin years or what?"

Time to reveal the results. Ryan - 6.01 minutes, Sheila 15.30, Adam 3.20, Natalie 12.09 (she reminds me of the Wicked Witch melting), Sharon 4.56. The Baller's off the block!

Natalie is so happy that Adam won the veto, if he didn't, Sharon would have. If only she knew. Sheila tells is she makes sure Natalie thinks she has her back, but she doesn't. She will be shocked.

Adam is all pumped up. natalie says someone else must go up. Sheila says it's slim pickins, twice. Sheila tells Sharon and Adam that Natalie will be going up and going home. Natalie tells Ryan and Adam she doesn't want to go to sequester. She says they can take out Sheila next week. Ryan tells her not to stress. He goes to break up Sharon and Sheila in the HOH room.

He tells Sheila and Shaon that natalie doesn't think she'll be voted out, but that she knows she'll go up on the block. Ryan tells Sheila he's totally with her -- if you want her gone, she's gone.

God wanted me to go on TV and be me - Natalie after saying she didn't get acting jobs. Sheila and Sharon talk about natalie not being very smart, but she thinks she is. Nat in the pool tells the guys that Sheila and Sharon are talking smack about her.

It would just suck if I ended up going home. Sheila says that natalie's not going anywhere and she didn't go back on her word. She didn't put up Ryan or Natalie. Sheila tells us she didn't like lying to Natalie's face.

Team Christ is going to act like Jesus and keep their word -- Natalie.

Sheila's birthday party, they have cake and are decorating with streamers. They actually shock her. And sing For She's a Jolly Good Fellow (no rights to Happy Birthday). She has a card. She cries. It's from her mom. Their relationship has been on and off. Aw, mom misses her. She's conquere obstacles ahead, but can do it. She's watched all nine seasons of the show, something Sheila didn't know. Her mom was a single mom. Gee, so is Sheila! Cries some more.

Sharon tells Adam that she will only have three jury votes in the end. Ryan and Adam think they should be the final two. Ryan tells Adam he wants Natalie gone even though he'd do better with her with the jury.

Sheila tells Adam and Ryan not to vote one to one. She tells Adam she knows that it would be him voting to keep Natalie. Sheila tells Adam that Natalie would go after her. Sheila tells us she doesn't want to get blood on her hands with a tiebreaker. She will make Adam's life hell if the votes to keep Natalie.

Adam ticks off Sheila so she threatens to put Ryan, his bro, up. After she stomps off, Ryan tells Adam nothing is certain. They just have to wait to make sure Ryan doesn't go on the block, then they run the house and the vote.

POV Meeting time. Adam tells us he's taking himself off the block and wants Sheila to put Natalie on the block. If that happens, he and Ryan control the house. Ryan tells us he's worried. Sharon says she would never ever ask him to use it on her, he deserves it. Adam says Sharon's speech motivated him to use it on himself.

Sheila says the decision is the hardest ever ... she gets teary shaky, really difficult, thought long an hard, has to go with what will get her further in the game. She chooses Natalie and apologizes. Natalie fake pouts. Sheila thanks Ryan for taking her off the block last week. With that, the meeting is adjourned.

Sheila tells us natalie isn't safe. If Adam gives her a pity vote, he'll pay for it. Natalie is confident she's safe. Ryan tells us he and Adam control the game from here on out.

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Morning

Eviction day looms ahead. The show promos are saying Natalie is targeted. But is that still the case? Here are the late night events from that Big Brother House of Cat Fighting Mamas:

• Sharon and Natalie got mad because BB said they don't want them holding the guinea pigs for their own safety and the safety of the guinea pigs.
• Natalie said that Adam is the only one who didn't tell her to drop in the HOH comp. She thinks that Sharon and Sheila have something going on together.

• Natalie denied saying that to him.
• Sheila told Natalie that if she calls them evil-doers in front of Sharon, she will tell the jury.
• Sheila told Natalie she won't win because the jury all hates her.
• Sheila feels she never was a part of Team Christ and has been isolated from the others throughout the game. (Maybe she's an island like James!)
• As Sheila continued to berate her, Natalie started to cry. She thinks she's being thrown under the bus and she's tried so hard to keep everyone together.
• Sharon hid from it all, reading the bible quietly on her own.
• Sheila, in front of Ryan, reminded Natalie she had begged that she put up Ryan instead of her.
• Sharon and Adam, downstairs, wonder if the other three are plotting against them.

• Upstairs, Sheila and Natalie decide that Sharon is a sneak. Huh?

• Sheila and Adam think Ryan is shady. (It's a good thing these guys have food. I can see a Donner Party coming on!)
• Sheila told Adam that Ryan threw him under the bus when they were up there with Natalie. She said Natalie spilled the beans to her about it.
• Sheila told Adam that Ryan told Natalie that he had nothing to do with the Big Confrontation. (Liar, liar, pants on fire! It was Ryan's plan and Ryan's the one who pushed it getting Adam all incited!)
• Adam wants to call Ryan out, but Sheila tells him not to.
• Sheila told Adam that Natalie admitted wanting to put Ryan and Adam on the block next.
• Now Ryan seems to have come full circle and he wants Natalie to stay out of loyalty. (What about his loyalty to his secret Sharon alliance?)
• Ryan's mad at Sheila for the Natalie bit even though it was similar to the Big Confrontation.
• Ryan is now trying to convince Adam they have to save Natalie because they betrayed her and it wasn't right.
• Despite the fact Sheila will freak, they agree that now they'll keep Natalie. Full circle flipflop.
• Natalie cried on.
  

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Monday Night

Adam, Natalie, and Ryan in the backyard looking dumb. Well, they are! Look at them! Is that genius at work? I think not.

Here's the latest news from inside that Big Brother House Miscreants and Moles:

• The girls say there are only 15 days left. I know the finale is set for April 27, so they're a bit off. But close.
• Sheila thinks that the group left in the house rarely curses. She must not listen to them talk, including her own self!
• Adam's dream is to build a clinic for dentistry addressing the special dental needs of autistic children. Special lighting and such are needed.
  
• Ryan says he has days when he's mad for no reason and hates everyone and everything. I've noticed that.
• Ryan is still having trouble with the pain in his neck.
• After having hot dogs in the afternoon, they grilled fish for dinner.
• The guinea pigs got a lot of attention but they won't give Sharon the key for the cage so she can pet them.
  
• Adam is missing his meds. He was supposed to be on pain meds for headaches from a bad accident when he entered the house and BB doesn't allow them. He still has glass embedded in his face.
  
• Adam napped a lot and read the bible.
• Ryan told Natalie that their best chance of winning is if they're both in the final two as everyone sees them as big threats.
• Ryan told her that he'd work on Adam for a 2-0 vote for her to stay. Is he lying to her and faithful to Sharon? We'll see. I think he wants Sharon to stay.
• Ryan also apologized to Natalie for calling her out in the big meeting. She said Adam did it just for the jury.
• He told her that he believes her.
• Meanwhile, Sharon points out to Sheila that Ryan is talking game with Natalie. She can tell because his mannerisms make it obvious.
• Sheila told Sharon she wants Natalie out and will vote her out in a tie. I believe that's the 4584th time she's said that.
• Natalie ran to Sheila to tell her that Ryan wants her to stay. She wants Sheila to work on Adam or break the tie in her favor.
• Sheila asked Natalie if they talked about her (Natalie) and Ryan as the final two. Natalie said they didn't. Um, well ...!
• Sheila told Natalie she won't let the vote be a tie. She promised Natalie she wouldn't mention the conversation to him.
• Yeah, right.
  

BB9: Parts 2 and 3 of the Big Adam/Ryan Natalie Confrontation

Here are parts two and three of the confrontation last night. Sorry it took me so long to get them up.

Latest BB9 Feeds and The Big Confrontation Part 1

My latest BB9 live feeds report is up on TV Squad and here's part one of the video I took of the big Adam/Ryan confrontation of Natalie last night.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Into Monday Morning

Alas, I won't have time to mess with that YouTube video until later today. But here's what happened last night in the Big Brother House of Useless Confrontations:

• First off, Natalie didn't want to go to their silly meeting. Sheila and Sharon acted like they knew nothing about it.
• Adam sat at the kitchen table shouting out bible quotes as Natalie was in the bathroom saying she had already started to dye her hair.
• Finally they brought the meeting up to her.
• It was strange. Ryan was the driving force behind it, but Adam was the one who was truly upset because he heard Natalie targeting him.
• The meeting didn't solve anything. What the boys accused Natalie of, they're doing themselves.
• She apologized, said she's loyal to the two of them, said she heard a prediction from Sharon that the two boys would be standing at the end.
• Ryan had hoped she'd call out Sharon for more.
• After it was all over, Sheila was mad at Natalie because Natalie didn't defend their alliance saying she was loyal to the boys.
• Natalie started repeating, "I'm going home. I don't care."
• Sharon pretty much stayed out of it all.
• Adam felt bad afterwards. Ryan said they got a little out of the meeting -- she admitted making deals with James, something they never did.
• After the meeting ended, another meeting with Natalie. She told them Sharon was putting ideas in her head. @@
• The guys questioned why she didn't say that about Sharon when she was at the meeting.
• So then Natalie started throwing Sharon totally under the proverbial bus, probably thinking that's what they wanted to hear, I guess.
• Natalie cried.
• Natalie tried to convince Ryan and Adam that she's always been loyal to them.
• She refused to swear on the bible saying she never swears on the bible about anything.
• When Sheila asked Adam later if Natalie was backpedalling, he told her she wasn't.
• Adam told Ryan if they keep Natalie, all they have to do is stop Sheila from winning POV.
• Ryan told Adam he'd feel better if Natalie was gone. (No surprise there seeing he has his alliance with Sharon.)
• He didn't tell Adam of his alliance with Sharon.
• Natalie said she wouldn't campaign to stay.
• Natalie then went to Adam and asked him not to let them turn him against her.
• Natalie decided she needed Sheila's help.
• Sheila asked her why she had been telling Sharon things told to her and more.
• Natalie insisted that she wasn't talking game with Sharon.
• Natalie said she never threw anybody under the bus.
• Sheila, lying, told Natalie that she never thought Adam would win POV and didn't think it would turn out like this.
• Natalie started talking about the boys being masterminds of the game, providing more info for Sheila to share with the boys.
• Sheila continued to act like she knew nothing of the meeting before it went down.
• Natalie, Sheila, and Sharon then hung out, not really talking much game talk.
• Ryan told Adam "never trust a stripper." He seems intent on voting to keep Sharon.
• Adam and Ryan talked about the jury votes.
  

BB9 - The Ryan and Adam Confrontation with Natalie VIDEO

Grrr ... although YouTube gave me an embed code and all, they rejected my video because it was too long. I have to write up the review of tonight's show for TV Squad. If I'm still awake after that, I'll break it down to separate chunks and re-upload. I might not be able to get that done until tomorrow after work, though. Sigh.

Big Brother 9 - 4/13 Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome! Since the entry in this blog is written as I watch television, please forgive any typos!

We're into the pre-credits recaps now... they're focusing on Natalie playing all sides and her allies turning against her. James was evicted and Natalie is now Public Enemy Number 1. Into the opening credits.

Black and white HOH Glass Houses comp. Into color. Ryan tells us he feels pretty safe due to his alliance with Sharon. Sharon tells us how important this HOH is for her. Sheila says she doesn't trust Natalie. Natalie thinks she's 100% guaranteed a win in the comp.

Now we see James evicted in black and white again. Sharon tells us because James is gone, she has to pull her game up. Sheila tells us he reminds her of her son and she felt guilty. Ryan says finally. April 9, BB9, 9th week, end of James nine lives, says Nat. Adam said it was sad, but time to move on.

Day 63, now they're still pre-HOH comp. "I'm a woman and a MOm, I cringe every time we have to evict someone." -- guess who?

Back to the Glass Houses. There's smoke. Sharon is having trouble. She hurt her back last night. She's out 8 minutes into the comp. She tells Adam she will have to win POV.

Natalie's happy because Team Christ is still in it. Sheila tells us how much she wants the HOH, the letter from her son. Did you know she's a single mom? She has to stay up as long as possible because she wants the photos and letters.

Natalie says she doesn't feel safe. Sheila wonders who bothers her ... Ryan or her (Sheila)? Adam is yelling RODE HARD and Natalie claims she's chillin. Sheial says she feels frickin old. Sheila tells us that Natalie is fueling the fire by talking and making her want to win even more.

Ryan says he has scabs on his hands. Adam asks if he means blisters. Oh, yeah. 2 hours six minutes into it, Adam and Sharon both leave the yard. Natalie proposes a deal to put up Adam and Sheila. Natalie wants deals. Sheila tells them she won't put up Ryan. She says she'll put up Adam and Sharon. Natalie wants Adam to be voted out.

Ryan trusts Sheila more than Natalie in the game. Adam goes back to the yard. Ryan tells Sheila he wouldn't mind her being HOH - 2 hrs 47 minutes -- he drops. Natalie rolled her eyes when he said Sheila deserved it.

Sharon tries to talk Natalie into going. Jesus suffered for us, what would Jesus do? Sharon just shrugged. Natalie is still balking at giving up. Sheila assures her that she's good. In DR, Sheila thought Natalie would renege on the deal because she was staying up so long after it. Natalie just smiles an evil Chucky doll smile from her glass house and we go to commercial.

Back, Natalie is still being a problem child. Now she's tapping. What will I do? Sheila says she'll stay up another hour if she must. The nice part of me wants to give it to you. The Christian in me would do a lot of good things if I win. Sheila is looking more haggard by the moment. Adam in DR says she's just making herself a bigger target by being so annoying up there. Sheila in DR tells us she didn't like how Natalie is acting. I'm a giver and I want to show them I can give, then she drops 3 hours into it.

Sheila cracked her tooth when she dropped. Natalie in DR tells us that Sheila wouldn't screw her over. Adam is expecting to go on the block because he put her up. Sharon is sure she'll go on the block, but thinks they might attack each other.

Natalie, Ryan, and Adam talks about how Sharon is going home. Adam is worried, getting pissed off at Natalie for talking on about POV when he doesn't want to go on the block.

Adam listens as Natalie tells Sharon that she would have put Adam on the block. Natalie and Sheila meet in the storage room for Advil. Sheila tells her she doesn't want to get Adam out. She tells us that Natalie is her real target -- she told her she wouldn't put her up, but said nothing about not backdooring her. Heh.

HOH room -- Aw, pics of her son, baby and teenager shots. Her brother, her sister. She's crying. And, wow, the photo of Sheila at 25. Why must Adam have his sirt up exposing his tubby belly while scratching as she looks at the photo? Ryan reads the letter from her son ... he's doing "good." Perhpas he should make sure he goes to English class instead of walking Kitty? Her sister writes that they're proud of her. Adam wipes a tear. Aw, Sheila cries.

Sheila tells us how much she needed to get the win for the letters. She's so happy that the other HG are happy for her, too.

Back massage time for Adam. She tells Adam that everyone will start turning on her. Adam says he sees the little girl side of her, tough exterior. Sheila has a tremendous love for Adam and would like to be standing next to him at the end of the game.

Sheila talks to Sharon and Adam. Sharon mentions that everyone wants Natalie gone. They think Ryan has to win POV, take Adam down, then Natalie goes up. Natalie is about to see what I'm really made of - Sheila.

Now they're doing the topics cards. Not that I see the cards, the biggest physical turn on ... Adam says talking dirty to him. As Sharon talks eyes and teeth, Adam picks his nose. Sheila wants a cross between Evel Dick and Dr. Will.

Ryan goes to the HOH room. Sheila tells him she needs a guarnatee, if he wins POV he must remove Adam. She wants to put Natalie up. Ryan promises. If he wins POV, he will take Adam off the block.

Now Adam goes to the HOH room. She tells him that Ryan promised to use the POV on him if he wins.

Natalie tells "Rye Bread" than Baller is up there bawling to stay off the block. Sheila tells Adam that they're the last couple in the house and tells Adam that Natalie will vote him out. Natalie must go!

Now it's Natalie's turn. Sheila tells her that she won't put her on the block. She tells Natalie the noms should remain the same and Adam should be safe. Sheila thinks that Natalie will gun for her and is lying to her when she told her next week she's safe.

Nominations today -- Natalie isn't concerned because she made a deal with Sheila. Sharon is worried because the pawn may end up being the target -- the last survivor of the evil doers. Adam is worried. He knows Sheila made deals with Ryan and Natalie.

Sheila feels she has no options, she's making the best decision, finally playing the game, it's real. Noms ceremony -- Her voice is shaking. Hardest thing she ever had to do in the game, loves them all, has to do it. Key order -- Natalie, Ryan.

Sharon and Adam are on the block. Adam -- hope you're not mad, you did it to me, put my game at risk, just a game. Sharon -- love ya, good luck with the POV you're a strong player and you're great.

Adam tells us he's a pawn, wants Natalie to go. Sharon wants Natlaie out. Natalie goes on about Team Christ. Sheila tells us old Sheila took it on the chin, but new Sheila will knock her right out of the house and be proud about it.

BB9 Live Feeds and Tonight's Show

My latest BB9 live feeds report is up over at TV Squad. Since I wrote that, the confrontation planned by Ryan and Adam with Natalie took place. I recorded that and will be uploading it to YouTube.

Tonight's show here on the east coast is delayed due to golf. (What next? Badminton? Table tennis?) 60 Minutes started at about 7:40 PM ET, so BB should be an hour after that, starting about 8:40. I'll put up my live-blogging post for it when it starts here and I'll be writing a full review for TVS after that.

Once my video gets loaded to YouTube, I'll post it here.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Into Sunday Morning

Graphic artist Zoetawny created a special edition Penthouse commemorating Sheila's head of house and Pet days! I think her big splash was in 1986 or thereabouts.

I should make it known that in 1986 I wore clothes in public at all times. I still do. There's no sense in terrifying small children, I say!

Sheila's birthday was yesterday, giving her more reasons to cry. Now we'll keep hearing about her birthday, the letters and cards, and the surprise of it all as long as she's in the house.

Here are the late night and overnight events in that Big Brother House of Dastardly Deviants:

• Ryan wants to bring the bible to the big call out party he and Adam are planning for Natalie and Sheila.
• He's been going through it for quotes to use as ammunition against Natalie.
• Sheila fears that one of the boys will give Natalie a sympathy vote and force a tie.
• Sheila and Sharon are thick as thieves as of late. Sheila all of a sudden thinks Sharon is the most trustworthy person she's ever met.
• That could be because Sharon wants to secure a place in the house this week. She might lay low, but she's not dumb.
• It's been non-stop Natalie bashing between the two for two days now.
• Sharon was livid when Adam told her that Jacob said he smoked pot before going into the BB house. Sharon is the only one of the houseguests who has never done any sort of illegal drug.
• Sheila made a life-size Alex doll complete with hoodie. She used pillows for the body. I guess Alex has lost his buffness since leaving the house.
  
• BB gave them alcohol again last night. They all partied hanging out in the HOH room -- all of them including Natalie.
• Natalie is confused. She's not sure if she's nearsighted or farsighted.
• Sheila talked about Adam's nasty personal habits.
  
• Sheila told them that Evel Dick asked her out on a date. (Run Dick, run. Run fast as the wind!)
• She has a yearning for him. (Run faster, Dick!)
• Away from the others, Ryan told Sheila she has no worries. Natalie will be leaving this week.
• Sheila whined about having to do the dishes on her birthday. I'd say just leave them there. If the slobs want to eat, they'll eventually wash them.
• Sheila told Ryan it would look really bad for him and Adam if they don't get rid of Natalie. I'm not sure that's the best approach.
• All are asleep as I get this posted.
  

BB9 Live Feeds and OFF TOPIC Stuff

I'm awaiting for my latest Big Brother 9 live feeds report to be posted over on TV Squad. But the big news there for the day is that it's Sheila's birthday. She cried when she got her letters, cards, and gifts. You know she's a single mom, right? Also, Ryan and Adam have come up with some whacked-out plan to call the girls (Sharon and Natalie) out about alliances and lies, then make up their minds between Sunday night and Wednesday about which one to vote out. So the Natalie ouster isn't a done deal despite all the trash-talking the rest of the house has been doing.

So, as I wait for the report to hit the air, er, Internet, I'll share some photos I took today. If you click on them, you'll see larger versions although I've resized a few for clarity issues. The first one is SPRING! It's a macro shot of a dandelion. I don't know why the background is showing so dark, but I like it that way, so it stays.


This next one is a rabbit I encountered at the Bridgewater (NJ) Train Station today. He's by the fence which leads to the field of geese. Once I accidentally spooked a rabbit right smack into the field of geese. They started chasing him, honking with their necks low and charging him. Oops.

"If I hide in the brush, she won't see me."

"What? She's still looking at me? Make her go away!"

Doe, a deer, a female deer ... in the field of geese. I have seen the geese charge at and chase deer there, too. But this doe has been at the field of geese a few times this week. Maybe she paid off the geese thugs.



I also saw a chipmunk there today, but it moved too fast for me to take a shot.

Happy birthday David Letterman ... and Sheila too ... I guess.

BB9 Live Feeds Into Saturday Morning

Uh-oh. And here we thought all of their operations were over. Now it's Operation Swat the Gnat in effect! Or is it?

Thanks go out to our favorite Zoetawny for the graphic! She rocks, y'know.

But are the hamsters really planning to do away with Natalie? Has Team Christ really dubbed her their Judas? I think Natalie's playing a good game in the house. But where she's gone wrong is having all of her deals catch up with her and she talks too much. But when you think about it, that's what the rest are doing, too. Well, except maybe Adam. He just tends to agree with people a lot.

Here's what went down Friday evening into the early hours of Saturday in that Big Brother House of Realizing Ramifications:

• It was Adam who decided that Natalie is their Judas on Team Christ.
• Sheila has yet another thing to be mad about -- after seeing the video of James flouring her, Natalie laughed too much. @@
  
• After all, she cried for Natalie when James threw pickles on her.
• Sheila told Sharon that Natalie is the most hypocritical person she's ever met.
• Ryan and Adam think that Natalie would have pulled Sharon off the block if she won POV, thus making Ryan go up and getting one of the "boys" out. They think she's been playing both sides too much.
• Natalie told Sheila that she doesn't think she has the votes to stay and that she (Sheila) has to put Ryan on the block instead of her. "If this costs me the game, I'm going to be highly pissed off."
• Natalie asked why they didn't have a James eviction party. Sheila told her that it was like evicting her son, she wasn't happy about it.
• Ryan told Adam no one wants to be against him (Adam) at the end -- he wins comps and helped James who will sway the jury.
• Sheila thinks the jury house will have a party seeing Natalie arrive.
• They used the topic cards again to create discussions.
• Adam and Ryan refused to play hide and seek with Natalie.
• Natalie told Adam that she knew she was going on the block because Sheila promised Ryan she wouldn't nominate him. She will just make a great speech to save herself.
• Natalie fussed about not having a luxury comp. "We've only had one all season!"
• Sheila told Sharon she will talk to Adam tonight to make sure he's going to vote to keep her (Sharon).
• Sharon told Sheila that Natalie had wanted to evict her (Sheila) and Adam.
• When Adam asked her why she wasn't campaigning to Sheila, Natalie told him that she knew she had their (Adam, Ryan) votes to stay.
• Sheila asked Ryan if they had Adam's vote to evict Natalie. He told her not to worry and she told him they better not be messing with her.
• I usually don't go into their more graphic talk, but I found this bit funny -- Sheila said James' penis (from his nude time in the yard) is big enough to get him into porn. Ryan said gay porn. Heh.
• They talked about how much better they are than last season's cast.
• Adam swore on his foreskin (ew) to Sheila that he'd vote for Natalie to go home this week.
• Adam told Ryan that Sheila wants them to do her dirty work for her so Natalie would be mad at them, not at Sheila.
• They're all in bed as I get this posted.
  

BB9 Latest Feeds/POV

I've been waiting for my latest feeds report to go up over on TV Squad and it's been a while.

Judging by the comments on the last post here, folks know that Adam won the POV. He will remove himself and Sheila should be putting Natalie up in his place. As they said, Team Christ has a Judas.

BB9 Live Feeds Into the Overnight

Yep, you got it. We have had trivia on the feeds since about 3:15 AM ET. But here's the skinny on what happened before the feeds were blocked:

• The HG weren't allowed to drink because there is a comp expected. I'm assuming POV. They want luxury.
• Sheila told Ryan she won't put him up but Natalie had told her that she'd rather Ryan go home if Sharon comes off the block.
• Natalie told Sheila that they had to stick together and go after the boys. When Sheila asked about Sharon, Natalie said she goes first then the boys.
• The plasma screen reads: Power of Veto tonight.
  
• Gulp. It's coming! A lot rides on this for a lot of people!
• Everyone has a reason to win and no one wants Natalie to win.
• Sheila wished there had been a food comp because she's HOH and would have food while others were on slop.
• They did some last minute memorizing of items.
• Then we went to trivia. Why, oh, why can't we have guinea pig cam?

If the trivia gets resolved before I leave for work, I will update!

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Since Nominations

Adam's certainly not smiling because he was nominated. He's not a happy camper about that at all. But he did put Sheila on the block, so what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Hmmm ... I wonder how that saying came about It is perfect for this situation, no matter how it started.

Here are the happenings since nominations in that Big Brother House of Talky Tinas:

• Sheila used the term "slim pickins" in her speech. I'm not sure why it's funny to the HG. They are getting down to the point where they have to start picking each other off in the alliances.
• While Natalie was in the DR, all of the others gathered in the HOH room and talked about needing to get her out of the house, all of them.
• Sheila told Adam that either he or Ryan HAS to win POV. She really wants to put Natalie on the block this week because Natalie throws everyone under the bus.
• I think they should start throwing people under the train instead. It's much more efficient.
• Sheila told Adam that if Natalie wins POV, she'll convince her not to use it. Natalie has said she'd want to save Sharon. Sheila's plan if POV is not used is that Natalie will vote for Sharon, Ryan will vote for Adam (I'm talking to stay, not evict). Then Sheila would break the tie and keep Adam.
• Sheila doesn't know that Ryan's got a thang goin' on wit' Sharon.
• They think something might happen tonight, but not a food comp due to the endurance last night.
• Sharon doesn't like Natalie calling her a mole.
• But she likes the guinea pigs. Aren't they related to moles?
• Natalie is getting annoyed that every time she tries to talk to Sheila, someone shows up.
• Sheila is covering the plans well right now. Let's see if it all lasts. Anyone want to make a wager?
  

That's the big news for the evening.

BB9 Nominations In

As expected, Sheila nominated Adam and Sharon.

'Survivor Micronesia' - 4/10 Show East Coast Updates

The show has started here on the east coast. I'll update this post as important events (immunity, boot, and such) happen.

Eliza used the fake idol and it didn't work, but now it's outed that Ozzy has it. Eliza was voted out. Eliza and Jason voted Ozzy, but the rest voted Eliza.

BB9 - Latest Live Feeds

My latest BB9 live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. In about a half-hour, I'll set up the Survivor East Coast Updates post here!

BB9 - Live Feeds Since HOH

Sometime a bit later this morning, my TV Squad BB9 Glass Houses HOH report will be up. While it's not an extensive article, I put together a huge image gallery of screen caps featured within.

After the big Sheila win last night:

• Ryan and Sharon talked about the deal with Sheila. Adam knows he's going to go on the block. They told him they will vote Sharon out.
  
• Ryan told Adam he'd take him off the block if he wins POV.
• They ate steak and Sheila talked about her chipped tooth and headache. Natalie also has a headache.
• Natalie says she won't sleep in the "sex infested Chelsia juice bed."
• Sheila told them that James told her everyone was planning to vote her out this week.
• Natalie is once again Sheila's BBBFHOH. You got it. Not BFF -- best friends forever, but Big Brother best friends for head of house.
• Natalie told Sheila that Sharon said James was trying to stir up the whole house against her (Natalie).
• Natalie was thinking they might have a food or luxury comp today. I'd say they'll have no food comp -- they never have one after an endurance comp. While they might have a luxury comp, these HG keep thinking one is around every corner.
• Sheila got her HOH with her letter from home, photos of her son, her make-up, and wine.
• Ryan read her letter to her. There was a brief line from her son about George being good to him and he's walking Kitty. Her sister wrote more.
• Sheila cried.
• Sheila, Adam, and Sharon talked. Sheila told them that they will be on the block this week but the plan is that Ryan (or one of them) has to win POV, one comes down and Natalie is backdoored.
• How long do you think it will be before Natalie finds out about this plan?
• Sheila told Natalie that if the POV is used, she won't put Ryan on the block.
• Natalie balked saying that she's worried if she goes on the block, she'll be voted out.
• Sheila told her she'd have to win POV then.
• As I post this, they're all in bed but not all asleep. Ryan and Adam are talking small talk, not game talk.
  

BB9 - 4/09 HOH Endurance Comp Update Post

THE CONTENT IN THIS POST GETS OLDER AS YOU SCROLL DOWN.

Midnight ET: Natalie drops saying the good person in her wanted to. Sheila is HOH. Sheila chipped or cracked a tooth when she came down.

11:56 PM ET : Natalie is "weighing her options." She wondered what Jesus would do and asked God to tell her what to do. Sharon is not helping here, telling her she wouldn't drop. Grr. Just do it Natalie.

11:46 PM ET: Ryan dropped.

11:40 PM ET: Sheila is making deals with them. She will put Adam up. Both Ryan and Natalie agree to drop if she puts up Sharon and Adam. They're just waiting to see what BB might have Adam offer them. If Sharon wins POV, then Sheila would break a tie vote to keep either Nat or Ryan in. BB has no offers.

11:37 PM ET: All still up (except Sharon). A staffer just told Adam to go to the Diary Room. I think BB is about ready to offer them deals to come down.

11:15 PM ET: The three still in, more smoke. Now they're mad because Adam is eating in front of them. He keeps telling them there's a fully stocked storage room.



11:00 PM ET: All three still up.
10:40 PM ET: No news, all three still there.
10:25 PM ET: All three still in, nothing exciting happening. BB better shake this up a bit.
10:10 PM ET: Ryan, Sheila, and Natalie still up.



9:55 PM ET: Ryan, Natalie, and Sheila still hanging in.



9:37 PM ET - All three -- Ryan, Sheila, and Natalie still in there. Sheila really, really wants to win this. Very odd.



9:25 PM ET: Sheila really wants to win this one. Sharon was out early, says her back hurt. Natalie, Sheila, and Ryan still hanging in. Natalie says she doesn't feel safe. Sheila is showing more gumption than ever before. Sheila says she won't take any deals, if she drops she drops and might go home.



Sharon is out, didn't notice her missing at first. She was already out when the feeds returned.





As I get this posted, we still have blocked feeds. Once they return, I'll let you know. So please check back!

9:05 - We had brief audio, no video.
9:06 Back up on the feeds, it looks like all are still in.

BB9 - 4/09 Live Eviction Show Live Blogged From the Easst Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome! Since the entry in this blog is written as I watch television, please forgive any typos!

One recap done dating all the way back to Chelsia, opening credits. Julie Chen has an odd-collared sweater, black and off white. It's just odd. I want to go put the other side of the collar down. She has her spring pants on.

But first ... James' battle is far from over. And we're to the black and white recap of the recap we just saw in color with James going on the block again. Poof, we're in color after the veto meeting. Natalie wants James gone. She thinks she can win over anybody in the house in the final two. Sharon is sure she'll stay and she'll win if she's in the final two. James thinks he has to prove to the whole house he's the only one who can take down the Natalie beast.

He's got Sheila and Sharon giggling about Natalie. Now Nat is getting upset because he's picking on her. He has Sheila and Adam giggling. She whines to Ryan. Natalie tells the others that if she wins she's going to nominate whoever laughs at her because of James. Heh.

Ryan tells Adam he doesn't think he can trust Natalie. They don't think they could beat her in an endurance comp. Natalie and Sharon are talking about the girls sticking together while Ryan and Adam want to "knock the bitches out."

Even Sheila has her figured out - "Natalie tells us what we want to hear." She schemes with Sharon. Sheila is sure that Natalie will put them up if she wins HOH.


Natalie tells Adam about Girls Alliance as if it was Sharon's idea and all just happened1 That little so and so! Then she does the same with Ryan who always can't stop eating in bed. No wonder he's a bit chubby. Natalie thinks it will be a miracle from God that Team Christ will prevail.

Sheila wants to warn Adam about Natalie but wants to keep her relationship with Adam a secret. So she whispers it all to him. He gets his Adam Dazed look on his face. In the DR, he's all confused.

James wants to turn all against Natalie. He plays chess with Ryan who admits he'll be voting him out. I feel all of this is trying to build up the idea James will stay even though tonight should be predictable with him going home.

James works more on Adam and Sheila. Sheila says they need more action in the game and she might do something crazy.

Sharon's family will be featured later. No votes yet!

Yikes, now that Julie stands, that outfit makes her look like her stomach is a barrel from the side view. Ryan and Natalie are practically sitting on top of each other as Julie asks Natalie and Sharon religion questions. Adam looks for quality, style, and good conversation in a women. Sheila, the pranking bit. She asks James why Sheila's the target. He says she handles it the best, the others would be upset and go over the top. Sheila says they make her feel wanted when they play pranks on her. She loves them. Sheila held together when asked about her son.

Sharon's family -- a far. I always wanted a farm. Her father is a former Marine, but dressed in his full honors suit. His father hopes she doesn't bring the guinea pigs home, but she's very into animals. A car accident and the car looks horrible. The presence of God saved her. Her father calls her Sharilynn. But her sister calls her Sharon. Oh, the sequester house bit is on tonight!

We get anti-James rants from Natalie and Ryan. Then Ryan flips about the girls alliance and Sheila rants about James.

Sequester House -- Oh, nice. Matt doesn't like being alone. He wants to see James arrive. If not James, some type of female. He's happy that Chelsia's there. He flirts. She tells us she won't be hooking up with him, she's not attracted to him. Now they're waiting again. Chelsia wants Natalie, Matt wants James. And it's Joshuah! Chelsia is glad it's someone she likes, but sad that he got evicted. Matt likens Joshuah to a girl on her period. They see Natalie win HOH. Joshuah points out the hooker outfit on the tape of his eviction.

Nominees plead their case. Sharon says the same thing she always does, no surprises. James -- he makes a nice pleasant little speech about a girl he loves (Chelsia) and friends he's made.

The voting --
Natalie votes to evict James
Ryan votes to evict James
Sheila votes to evict James

James has been evicted although Julie has to tell them after the break.

James knew it and is smiling, hugging everyone, being very nice. No parting speeches or rants. He's with Julie ... again. Sheila is crying. She cries when anyone leaves.

James tells Julie that he's wanted to leave since he came back. Does he regret going back on his word? It was revenge. What is it about being in the BB house which makes him cry. Isolation. Goodbye messages -- Adam said house's choice, will miss. Sharon, will do as much as she can to get Nat out. Ryan, I outlasted you, you were true warrior. Natalie, gloating ... once a cheater always a cheater. Sheila cries, reminds her of her son. Aw, very nice.

James said he might remain friends with Sheila, Sharon and Adam. He hates Natalie and Ryan and what they stand for.

HOH comp -- They're in glass cages. It's called Glass Houses, the floor will drop out from under them and they have to hang on. Ack, it's endurance. They have a chain and a bar they can hold onto but their feet are on the glass.

Ryan is already sweating. Julie says the houseguests are in for a long night. If so, so am I. I don't think either Ryan or Sheila will last long. Sharon's back is hurting her. Uh-oh, it looks like Natalie is best suited for the comp.

Once the feeds come back, I'll get an update post going to keep everyone up on the winner. I don't think we're going to have a really long wait since Sharon is in rough shape at the start. Sigh.

Latest BB9 Live Feeds

My latest feeds report is up over on TV Squad. Once the show starts on the East Coast, I'll be getting a live blogging post up for tonight's live eviction right here. Come join the fun in comments!

BB9 Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning

Oh, Adamanas! Hmmm ... I wonder what would happen if Adam wore a mandana while eating strained bananas?

For some reason I don't think canned Adam would sell too well in the supermarket. I think it would give me indigestion. I suppose it could be worse -- we could have Sheila Prune Juice!

Without further ado, here are the happenings from last night into the dawn in that Big Brother House of Loquacious Losers:

• Ryan danced more in anticipation of James being evicted. He's outright gleeful.
• Natalie seems to know a bit about some things even if her vocabulary skills are a bit quirky. She lectured Ryan on good and bad carbohydrates and body fat percentages.
• CBS made Natalie put highlights in her hair after she initially showed up with dark brown hair.
• Adam and Ryan think they can only trust each other after hearing what both Sharon and James were saying about what Natalie's been saying about targeting them.
• Since Adam can't compete, he suggested to Ryan to put Sharon and Natalie on the block with Sheila as the replacement.
• They both think Sheila will throw the HOH because she feels safe with both groups -- the boys and the girls.
• They think since BB gave them the oversized golf stuff and putting green on Saturday, that it will tie in with a comp. (I don't know. They won outdoor toys and it could just be a part of that and nothing to do with any comps.)
• Sheila told Adam she wants him to promise her that if Natalie wins HOH and puts her on the block he'll win veto and save her.
• Adam just grinned at her with his dopey grin.
  
• She went on to tell him that Natalie is the biggest threat left and she would save Ryan over any one else put on the block. She thinks she can control Sharon and that Sharon would target Natalie if she wins HOH.
• Sheila asked Adam if he was working with Natalie. He told her he isn't.
• As she rambled on she told him that she knew everyone likes him and he'd win if it were them in the final two. She's okay with that.
  
• I hope that ANYONE else in the final two with Sheila (if it gets to that) wins. Anyone at all. Amanda could come back in and win and I'd be happy. Anyone but Sheila!
• James and Adam talked about the DR asking them about how dumb Natalie is or words they've found out she doesn't know. I suppose eventually the pedestal demonstration with the pepper shaker might air.
• Sheila told James that Natalie made up the being a cheerleader bit.
• James thinks that Natalie is a meth addict. His proof is in her skin. Now, if she were a meth addict, I think she's withdrawn from it by now! Since all but Sharon and Sheila to a lesser extent seem openly into doing drugs, nothing would surprise me.
• They should all think of the ramifications of being all over the Internet discussing illegal drug use. That could shut doors for employment and more. What are they thinking?
• Sheila told James she would give him a sympathy vote. He told her although he wants votes, she shouldn't burn that bridge with Sharon.
  
• Adam, James, and Sheila talked about Sharon having something going with Ryan. You see, secret alliances aren't too secret at this point in the game.
• Sheila talked about how dumb Natalie is. I don't know. Her schooling might be lacking, but she has proved to be a smart player in the house so far this season. If she makes it to the end (a strong possibility), she could very well win.
• When James told Sharon that Natalie lied about being a cheerleader she too wondered why someone would make something like that up.
• I was never a cheerleader.
• George W. Bush was a cheerleader.
• Or did he make it up?
• All are asleep as I post this.

Thanks go out to Zoetawny for the graphic and it seems almost a certainty that we'll see the last of James tonight. But you never know until it happens.
