There isn't all that much exciting going on in the house at the moment -- the boys are making dinner. No sirens have gone off. Joshuah still hates Allison.
I once again wrote an impromptu episode review of the show for TVS tonight. You can find that here.
I'll have a full report up in the morning!
I've had a feeds update report sitting in pending over at TV Squad. When it goes live, I'll zap a link here.
The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this entry as it airs. Please forgive any typos as I'm writing this a bit off the cuff. As always, I want your take on the show in comments! After all, that's where the fun is!
Joshuah has told us how they had to change their vote to go along with Allison and Ryan last week. We see Allison and Joshuah fussing at each other again, as well as the Matt/Natalie ups and downs.
Joshuah tells us Allison is ugly on the inside and outside. His comments about her looks all the time are annoying me. I don't care much for her, but I don't think she's an unattractive woman.
Matt knows that he's not the target, but he's not happy to be on the block again. He tells Adam he's just getting carried and Adam gives us crazy eyes in the diary room. Sheila should be a bit quieter about not getting nominated. She thinks Allison should be quieter and that she's (Allison) helped her in the game.
Matt doesn't want cuddles or massages from Matt. He tells us every since he kissed her, she's after him. He didn't mention the bed play he allowed and enjoyed, did he? She is sickening me going after him.
Allison is sure that Matt and Natalie owe her and Ryan for saving them last week. Allison is trying to convince Natalie that if Sheila and Adam go up on the block in place of either couple, vote them out. Natalie looks like she has been hit with a dumbstruck epiphany about the situation. Maybe she is just as dumb as Matt keeps saying! Since they're working a couples game, she shouldn't be letting Allison sway her without input from her partner.
Veto random draw time ... and (as we already know), it's Adam and Sheila! James hosts the comp. Joshuah wants Matt to win. James is dressed in a toga and ivy crown. Cupid is as Cupid Does is the name of the comp. There are wings and puffy clouds in the yard. They have to hoist the women while the guys grab puzzle pieces. The first team with the puzzle solved right wins. Sheila tells adam she's scared of heights.
Matt and Natalie did a good job. They won and Allison looks like she could kill. Chelsia tells us she wants Matt and Natalie out, so she's not happy they won.
Allison is once again going on about Joshuah hating her. She apologized to Ryan for losing the comp. Now it's dance time in the HOH for Matt. He tells us he has to get on everybody's good side. He plays to Joshuah's gay side and gives him a big kiss.
He tells us his approach to Ryan is different and he thinks of him as a friend. He tries to convince Ryan there's still a chance.He thinks he has to be Allison's shoulder to cry on. She tells him that she feels bad that she dragged Ryan into it. He tells her she has to get on Josh's gay side.
Sheila is complaining about Adam fighting with her and not trying the comp. She's the one who balked at heights! Now they're arguing. She said she might as well talk to the wall. James is on the other side of the wall and plays the part. Okay, that was cute.
Sharon is hiding out in the HOH room and doesn't feel well. Matt tells us he has to use his charm with her and make her think he cares about her. (He doesn't.) He tells Sharon that Natalie's dumb, he runs her, but she's not his type. He likes someone more conservative, no fake boobs, etc.
Then he kisses her, telling us that she's playing right into his trap. She tells us she know's what's up.
Natalie is on the hunt for Matt and Sharon, Matt, Matt and Joshuah are all hiding him out. She is creeping me out idolizing him when he keeps turning her down. Sharon, meanwhile, tells Joshuah about Matt's kiss play for her.
Matt is really having a problem with Natalie stalking him. He tries to sit her down. He admits they hooked up, he doesn't want to be mean to her. She thinks he's acting like she's way below him. He says he's never denied that he's been mean to her. He asks her if she's delusional. She thinks they might have been put there because they're supposed to meet. He wants to pinky-swear to be friends only. She tells us that they could be soulmates.
Joshuah is confronted by Allison again. Part of the situation with Allison (not specific to Joshuah) is that she has a way of interrogating rather than talking to people. Same old-same old with them.
An announcement with a siren ... River Virus! They would have to gather in the living room, could happen any time, expect the unexpected. Aha ... that's the siren they keep talking about on the feeds!
"I'm between a Josh and a hard place," says Allison.
[Ah, my feeds post from earlier is now up over on TVS -- I put the link above in beginning of this post.]
Joshuah wants to plan for the siren. They're worried that the mystery siren might change plans.
Ryan thinks the siren could only be good for him. He wants it to happen. The house is against them, he has nothing to lose. Allison too is happy-anticipatory.
Time for the veto meeting. Ryan tells them they deserve to use the power on themselves because they've worked hard to win it. Joshuah says in the best interest of the house that Sheila and Adam be nominated for eviction this week.
Joshuah is quiet, for a moment at least. But I'm sure he's scheming.
Here are the evening and overnight events from that Big Brother House of Exploding Egos:
- Sheila thinks that she should be treated with more respect due to her age -- she left home at 14 and is old enough to be the mother of most of the houseguests. (Hey, they might be looking for a new parent ... I'm sure their own are embarrassed by now.)
- Sharon feeds into Joshuah's rants by finding them funny. He rants, she giggles, rinse and repeat.
- Sheila thinks that she and Adam have a better chance to win in the end than do Allison and Ryan. No one wants to give the money to either Allison or Jen (Ryan's girlfriend).
- James called a meeting with everyone but Joshuah and Sharon. In it he called Matt out for playing both couples on the block, making each of them think they were going to be safe.
- Matt defended his own actions by talking about the Operation Condor bit, but that's sidestepping the issue.
- Matt also used the "That's Big Brother" defense.
- Chelsia got all worked up because Matt acts like there's nothing wrong with making promises to both couples on the block.
- James kept at him saying it's wrong to promise both couples his vote and he needs to stop.
- Matt told James he wanted to make the vote 2-0, but didn't know how James/Chelsia were going to vote. James told him he wasn't going to tell him.
- James told Matt because he burned him (Matt), he's going to burn everyone in the house.
- Chelsia said she and James are playing the game straight up because they're not promising their vote to both couples.
- Sheila thinks it's very stressful having no clue which way the vote will go.
- Natalie thinks they're just doing it so Allison isn't at them constantly.
- James told Matt he's a simple man who's gotten himself into a complex situation.
- Matt claimed everyone played him last week. So, James said that he didn't like it then ... why do it to others this week?
- They finally hugged and made nicey-nicey once again.
- Matt and Sharon got into a kissing session. @@
- Sharon told Joshuah not to make confetti to throw when Allison is evicted.
- Matt and Ryan talked about how dumb Natalie is.
- All are asleep as I get this posted -- James wandered through to get a snack, but then headed back to bed.
... is up over on TV Squad!
These houseguests don't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Oh. I guess a few have nice smiles.
Late last night Matt listened as Sheila told him she was worried. It takes a worried woman to sing a worried song, right?
Here are the events of the evening into the night from inside that Big Brother House of Loose Morals and Loose Lips (one of them sink ships):
- James told Joshuah he didn't have to worry about their vote.
- Allison is worried that Matt might not vote for them to stay even though he told them he would. Ryan trusts him.
- James told Allison and Ryan that Matt had told the HOH that he's voting to evict them (Allison and Ryan).
- In a Diary Room audio leak, James said the house might change and vote out Sheila and Adam.
- Allison told Ryan that Matt told Sheila she was staying, so she's worried more.
- Allison's convinced that James and Chelsia will vote the same way Matt does.
- Natalie runs to the HOH to report everything Allison tells her to the point that Joshuah and Sharon are getting sick of seeing her.
- Natalie's very upset that James and Chelsia are spending any time or attention on Allison.
- Chelsia told Joshuah that they "mix up" the HOH blog they write just in case they're trying to send out any coded messages.
- James told Sheila she should keep her eyes open.
- Matt is worried that James will try to "break" Natalie. She's very paranoid and it wouldn't take much.
- As Matt tried to be a bit intimidating, James encouraged him telling him if he hit him, he (James) would have a quarter million in his pocket.
- Even Sheila tried to pep talk Natalie out of her paranoia. (Paranoia's the destroyah, you know.)
- Chelsia told Joshuah and Sharon that she's worried the vote will be 1-1 and no one will know who voted to keep Allison.
- Matt and Natalie talked about how James has flipped. He wants to make his life hell and make him cry. Natalie thinks Adam should stop giving James cigarettes and make him miserable.
- Matt told her that she has to keep making Ryan and Allison think they're on their side.
- Allison started going through the drawers to get shorts. Then it looks like she took a bottle of chocolate syrup from the refrigerator. I don't want to know.
- They're in bed now as I post this, but Adam and Sheila keep talking. Natalie told them to be quiet.
Due to a tornado hitting near the BB9 TV Squad reviewer's home, I sort of impromptu wrote the TVS review of tonight's episode. The reviewer is fine, but the network went all weather reports on him and cut off the show in progress.
So, the review I wrote is here. Yeah, I stole a few lines from myself. ;-)
I'll have a new feeds report up in the early morning!
The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this entry as it airs. Please forgive any typos as I'm writing this a bit off the cuff. As always, I want your take on the show in comments! After all, that's where the fun is!
Joshuah is planning an attack. He's upset because Allison lied to him about being a lesbian and changed her vote. Now it's to a B&W winning of the HOH for Joshuah and Sharon once again. He's talking about the tear her heart out bit I previously reported, but nothing about a slit throat so far.
Did Adam blow his nose on the bottom of his t-shirt? Then Adam primped as Joshuah went on ranting at Allison. She, of course, is playing poor pitiful me. James tells us that he thinks Joshuah is unstable. Ryan tells us he has no respect for Joshuah any more.
She cries to us, Matt offers a hug which she refuses. Now she's crying to Ryan. Ryan knows it's just the reaction Joshuah wants. She thinks everyone is intimidated by her.
It's very easy to see that Joshuah stole a page from the Evel Dick School of Intimidation textbook.
Matt continues to play both sides while Adam picks at his butt. She tries to make Matt and Ryan feel guilty about not defending her.
Time for the HOH room. Allison goes to bed and avoids it all. My gosh, all of Sharon's siblings have the same nose! Her doggie is so cute! They gave her a pic of Jacob and herself. At least she didn't go Jen on us. Joshuah got a Princess of the Day tiara which was something from his office.
Joshuah isn't mad at Sheila about the lesbian lie but says Allison was constantly feeding the lie. He tells Ryan about the whole story with the adopted son and all. Then Chelsia tells Ryan, too. He's shocked at how stupid Allison is with the story.
When he confronts her, she blamed Sheila. She's being robotic about it as he tells her she's manipulative and no one likes or trusts her in the house. Now, this is the real relationship with these two -- not some phony love story BB was going to give us with the early promos for this episode!
Natalie is after Matt in bed. He doesn't want her to get emotionally attached to him. No guy has ever pushed her away before. Hmm... how many has she thrown herself on before?
It's food comp time. All of the girls are in green asparagus unitards. The guys have overall shorts on. Outside there is a set-up similar to a produce market. They have to pile up asparagus equal to the weight of their partners. Each team playes for a different food group. They must be within ten pounds of the weight. If no team wins anything, they get asparagus with their slop.
James and Chelsia won beverages and snacks for the week. Adam and Sheila won veggies and fruits for the week. Matt and Natalie didn't win carbs and a fest for the week. Ryan and Allison won meats and cheeses for the work. The whole house will have everything except for carbs and a feast.
Natalie is painting a picture of Joshuah in nail polish. I remember the days when they weren't allowed anything at all they could write with. She thinks it will shmooze him to favor her.
Allison went right after Joshuah. Of course, he has to pick on her looks. She criticizes his education and income, he goes after her looks. Sharon is just watching from the landing upstairs. Adam is ignoriring them, Sheila is looking uncomfortable.
Sharon thinks he should call a discreet meeting with everyone except Ryan and Allison. He tells them all she's trying to provooke him and he plans to ignore her. They all try to figure out who should go on the block with Allison and Ryan. Meanwhile, Ryan is with Allison upset at her.
Am I odd or does Allison look a bit Mary Tyler-Moore-like at times?
Ryan is not a happy guy even though Allison thinks she can work Joshuah and flip him back to her side.
She then goes up to the HOH with Sharon and Joshuah for the odd grilling apology I reported the other day. He tells her about the lie and the gay working together bit. She tells us she didn't think he'd be affected by the story. He took it all personally because he's gay. "You know how much I love you," she tells him. He doesn't believe her at all and tells us so.
Nominations today and we get the background spiel again. Allison, for some bizarre reason, is worried that she'll go on the block. Adam hopes not to go up although he knows Allison is the target. Matt tells us he and Natlaie are strong physically, but Natalie isn't too bright. @@ (Neither is he!)
The key order is Adam/Sheila and James/Chelsia. On the block we have Matt and Natalie and Ryan and Allison. They say it's because they're the two strongest couples in the game. Allison just looks possessed, Matt is ticked off. Ryan blames Allison.
The POV meeting has been held. As expected, Matt and Natalie took themselves off the block and Adam/Sheila were put up in their place. It still looks like a 2-0 vote to evict Allison (and Ryan).
I'll be live blogging tonight's show as it airs here on the east coast. A bit later tonight, there should be a full feeds report up over at TV Squad.
Nah, they're all asleep as I get this posted. But I didn't think you wanted a screen cap of the night vision sleeping scenes, right?
Here are the happenings from Saturday in that Big Brother House of Bros and Hos (I didn't say that, did I? Oh, my. I feel Mike Malin-ish!):
- Sharon is sure she'll be in the final three because "people feel comfortable around her."
- Matt is still leading Ryan on that there's a chance he will stay. Ryan is eating it up, making plans for the next eviction and all.
- Natalie, like Amber before her, had a vision she would win POV ... and then it came true.
- Sharon thinks Matt is sucking up to her and wants to hide so she doesn't have to deal with him. She thinks he's an idiot. (Well, yeah!)
- Allison, who the other day said Joshuah wasn't stable, today says Sheila isn't stable. Now, if you ask me, I don't think any of them are stable. I'm probably not too stable myself, but I'm not on the internet and television exposing myself to the world. Well, except in writings, that is.
- James told Adam that he has to cover the Brawny tattoo with band-aids because it has the C word and motherbleeper.
- Why would anyone want those words permanently dyed into their skin?
- Allison cried because she talked to Sheila about why she was distancing herself from her (Sheila away from Allison) and she's just so darn hurt and misunderstood!
- Natalie said that Allison told her Sheila couldn't be trusted but then told Sheila she's the only one she trusted.
- Allison thinks James and Chelsia will go up on the block in place of Mattalie, but Sheila told her she's pretty sure it will be Adam and herself.
- Allison thinks her parents and brother will be waiting to attack Joshuah for her.
- Allison tried to make up with Sheila.
- Allison told Ryan that if James and Chelsia go on the block against them, she can't campaign against them.
- The womens' periods in the house seem to have clicked in to all start at the same time. Lucky guys, eh? ;-)
- Chelsia said that Natalie asked her why she didn't volunteer to go on the block. Chelsia, thinking rather straight, thinks it would be crazy to volunteer to ever go on the block.
- Allison offered James a carton of cigarettes and a week of her stipend to vote for her to stay. He shook on the deal. We'll see.
- Allison wants to set up Sheila with her father. Yikes, to do that to your father...! And, it must make Sheila really feel part of the gang!
- Allison thinks America has a lot to do with this season. She says there are three lifelines -- save a couple, bring a couple back, evict a couple. It's the first I've heard of this.
- Ryan is not campaigning ... again.
- Allison asked Adam if he was going to stick to their deal to not vote herself and Ryan out. He didn't give her a direct answer. He told her if he and Sheila go on the block, then Ryan and Allison will be voted out.
- Allison kept trying to instigate Joshuah into another confrontation. She kept at him about why he was so angry with her ... on and on and on and on.
- Allison tried to get Ryan to confront Joshuah, but he didn't.
- Allison thinks she's had more TV air time than anyone in the house because she's been involved in every argument. I ask you ... would that be considered a good thing?
- James suggested a "circle jerk" while Chelsia and Allison moan. Um, are these kids 14 or what?
- Before BB yelled at her to stop, Sheila said that she signed a contract until the end of April, then received an email extending things to the end of May. So, they're not sure how long the season will last.
- Matt is still acting like he's working with Ryan. He told Ryan that he has to control Allison's mouth. Oh, yeah. Like that can be done! After all, she's proud that she's been in every argument in the house!
- James and Chelsia smooched. He told her he wishes he had more to offer her outside the house. Hmm ... maybe a sidecar for his bicycle?
- Chelsia put make-up on Matt.
- HOH room discussion had James and Sharon talking about how secure Ryan and Allison feel when they're the target.
- Ryan tried to tell Allison that she needs to lay low this week -- he thinks he can get James' vote if he tells him he has Matt's.
- Joshuah told Natalie and Sheila that he thinks Allison will be portrayed as the villain in the house.
- James gave Chelsia a hickey on the neck. She's not too happy with that.
- Allison sucked up to James telling him how level-headed he's been throughout the game and how hard it is for her to be with everyone.
- Another smoochy show went on for Showtime.
- Sheila is worried that Allison will convince people to change their votes.
- Joshuah said that Allison is trying to sell her soul for votes.
- Natalie and Joshuah made tinfoil hats, shades of Chicken George. Oh ... some normalcy in the house! ;-)
- The boys (James and Matt) masturbated to the sound of Chelsia and Allison talking. @@
- Mind you, this is in time for the ShoToo BBAD show. I guess they think it's good television.
- Lots of sex talk, too.
- And, gee ... it all ended when the BBAD show finished and they all went to bed where they are still asleep.
Celebration in the HOH room last night after Matt and Natalie won POV. Actually, they were kind of fun to watch trying to jump quietly with glee.
Here's what's been happening in the House of Idiocy:
- The POV comp was a mix of physical and puzzle-solving from what they've said. It also had something to do with art. One partner had to swing another one around as they did the puzzle. Adam and Sheila did horribly leaving the real competition between the other three couples.
- Allison was claiming to have it done before anyone and the others think she will protest the Natalie/Matt win. She says the instructions weren't clear and she didn't know you could rearrange it. Natalie had dropped a piece, then fixed it which seems to be her bone of contention.
- Allison thinks that Joshuah and Sharon will put up James and Chelsia in Mattalie's place on the block. She thinks that will happen because James/Chelsia are surely a vote for her to stay. @@
- She also thinks Matt and Natalie will vote for her to stay.
- Joshuah and Sharon told Adam that he's safe and they plan to put him and Sheila up. Sheila tried to convince Matt that putting James and Chelsia up would be better. She says Allison is sure Sheila will vote for her to stay.
- Matt assured Sheila he had her back. She told him she'd never vote him out.
- Matt then worked the other side by going to Ryan to convince him that he wants him to stay. Well, he might want Ryan, but the entire house is anti-Allison.
- Allison told Adam that if the vote is 2-0 for them to leave, they've lost her vote in the jury.
- Allison told Matt that there's no way Chelsia will vote her out because "she's my girl."
- Allison really seems to think that she has a chance to stay, but the rest of the house is rejoicing an easy week with a sure eviction -- Operation Gardener in motion.
- They had a nice sit-down dinner with wine.
- Allison told Ryan that she has "tons of stuff on Sheila" she could use against her but she won't play that card. Um, okay.
- Chelsia, Allison, and James got all kissy in the hot tub. Then Matt started kissing Sharon. Would it surprise you that the timing coincided with the start of the BBAD show on ShoToo? I really wish they would be told that was canceled so they don't just put a show on for it.
- Matt said that Amanda started the rumors that Natalie had um, gone down, and it wasn't true.
- The house majority laughed about how Allison was sure she's not going home this week.
- James and Chelsia got all touchy-feely under the covers.
- All are asleep as I get this posted.
I have a new feeds report over at TVS, but here's the big news:
Adam and Sheila were the random couple in the power of veto. Matt and Natalie won and intend to remove themselves from the block. Whoever goes up, it's Allison who's going home. And Ryan.
The plan is to put Sheila and Adam in Mattalie's place, target remains Allison.
I took this screen cap late last night (late here on the east coast), so don't get the idea that he's still up. However I took it after he donned a green unitard thingy which he said he was wearing the rest of the day. That didn't last long -- he said that BB told him he had to take it off.
Here are the happenings from that Big Brother House of I Don't Like Anyone Very Much:
- Indeed, no one is on slop this week. It was one of the comps which they played for various foods or food groups.
- Matt/Natalie and Allison/Ryan have been nominated for eviction.
- Ryan and Allison are supposedly getting along okay ... for the moment.
- Adam referred to "retards" once again. Little does he know that his mouth already cost him his job in real life.
- Sheila promised to vote however Joshuah and Sharon want and to not use POV if she wins it.
- Sharon is worried that Matt and Allison might be working together -- which would make no sense because they're both on the block and one or the other will go.
- Sheila said she's going to distance herself from Allison, play her own game, and be strong. We'll see who she rants on next, I guess.
- The HG think there may be a twist this week because they're down to half of the original house.
- Sharon thinks she and Joshuah must win POV, but Joshuah is leery of winning three comps in a row. He thinks it will put too large a target on them. Of course, there already is a target, but hey.
- Sheila told Adam they need to vote Allison out.
- Allison is angry about being on the block so much. "It's ridiculous," she says. (Maybe it's a hint to her behavior in the house?)
- Sheila doesn't feel well. She probably wants some Tylenol PM.
- Joshuah trashed Allison's looks to Sharon in the HOH room.
- Natalie told Adam that Allison and Ryan simply cannot win POV. Adam told her that if he and Sheila win it, they won't use it, but they will vote to evict Allison and Ryan.
- All hamsters are asleep as I get this posted.
Power of Veto is later today. There have been no slit throats.
Allison and Ryan and Matt and Natalie have been nominated for eviction.
The show has started here on the East Coast. While I won't be writing up an entire review, important doings will be updated here.
And, as always, the comments are open for show discussion!
Carol and Tito are the project managers.
Hydra -- Lennox, Carol, and Piers won.
Tito was fired, but Trump gave him $50,000 more for St. Judes.
Jason Yaeger (sp?) with the blond wisp in the front of his hair, is the first out.
Alexandrea Lushington is the second boot.
Alaina is gone.
Robbie Carrico is gone.
The show has started here on the east coast. I'll update this post as important events (immunity, boot, and such) happen.
My full review is posted over on TV Squad.
You know ... comments are encouraged!
Favorites win reward - chickens, rooster. They send Kathy and Ozzy to Exile Island.
Ozzy found the hidden idol!
The Favorites win immunity!
Mikey B. was voted out in a blindside.
My latest Big Brother 9 live feeds report can be found over on TV Squad.
I'll be putting up an East Coast Update post for Survivor when it starts here. While my full review of the show will be on TV Squad, the post here will have the major news and discussion in the comments section.
My upstairs neighbors are playing doo-wop songs ... loudly.
I'll be taping Lost for viewing probably on Sunday. As I write up my Survivor review for TVS, I'll have an East Coast Updates post for Celebrity Apprentice and, of course, comments are welcome.
I'm going to try to catch the boot for American Idol (if you watch, tell me in comments on the Survivor post) and I'll try to get that news out to the masses, too.
Yes, Zoetawny got that one right -- it's a shame Alex couldn't have rid himself of Amanda.
With Julie's cryptic mention of changes next week, I can only assume that the couples will break up and they're not going to voted out two by two.
Alas, a week too late to save Alex.
Here are the happenings since the end of the live show last night:
- Allison thinks that she's always getting [bleeped] over in the house. Now she means with Joshuah as one of the HOH couple.
- Matt wants Joshuah to be civil to Allison for the sake of the house. Apparently there was some big blow-up between Allison and Joshuah yesterday during the blocked feeds.
- Adam latched onto Joshuah.
- Alex and Amanda left their bed area in a mess.
- Allison thinks all the shadiness in the house is due to Matt and Natalie.
- Allison told Ryan that Joshuah threatened to slit her throat and threw the HOH key at her.
- Joshuah says he's never hit a woman and all he did was get in her face.
- Allison was called into the DR, then Joshuah. Sharon got worried they'd expel him from the house.
- While Joshuah was in the DR, there was an audio leak (I always find those a bit conveniently mysterious) with Joshuah telling them he understood that Allison felt physically intimidated.
- After he came out of the DR, Joshuah said he had to stay five feet away from Allison.
- Adam doesn't think Matt is smart enough to win a HOH comp.
- Joshuah promised Adam and Sheila that they wouldn't be going this week.
- Ryan is sure that he and Allison will go on the block. He asked Adam to use the POV on him if he wins it. Adam didn't commit.
- Allison is sick of the house, the drama. After all, she has a real life on the outside.
- Allison thinks Joshuah is unstable and "lots of people have killed when they're unstable."
- Allison also confronted Sheila about what she said on the live show to Julie Chen about their fight. Sheila said she never said anything bad about Allison.
- Allison claims she doesn't know what set Joshuah off on her.
- She also reminded Matt that the only reason they're still in the house is because of her and Ryan. @@
- Joshuah thinks Ryan is scared of him.
- Adam and Joshuah told Matt not to worry because Operation Gardener is in effect -- get rid of Allison because she's always planting seeds.
- Allison thinks Joshuah and Sharon will backdoor her so she won't even have a chance.
- James worried about the Hudson River Virus thinking it might flood the house. That's the first mention I've heard of it on the feeds and I'm surprised that James doesn't remember the Hudson is in NY -- he was picked up for the show in Brooklyn!
- Joshuah said he "took a page from Dick's book and it worked."
- Allison is going all kinds of hyper -- confronting Sharon, Joshuah, and even Ryan!
- She wants out of the house if BB isn't going to take threats seriously.
- Chelsia talked with Ryan telling him Allison is just selfish if she leaves, everyone knows Joshuah isn't going to kill anybody.
- Chelsia went into detail with Ryan about the lesbian lie. He thinks that Allison is strong, but breaking under the pressure.
- Allison called Ryan names to Matt in the boat room. She thinks he's spineless for not defending her (Ryan, not Matt).
- Ryan found out Allison's talking about him and wanted to use Adam as a mediator to find out what was said.
- Adam didn't want to get involved.
- Ryan told Allison no one in the house liked her, they like him.
- He said they're in a bad place in the house because of the way she acts. (Memories of Alex and Amanda drift through my mind.)
- Natalie told Matt he never talks to her.
- Joshuah got called into the DR again and told Sharon he has a gag order and can't talk about it.
- All are in bed as I post this.
Can you feel the love?
It looks like we'll just get the show in under the wire here -- Blogger has a ten minute outage for maintenance expected at 9 PM ET. Yipes!
But the show has started here in the NYC area and this post will be updated constantly as it airs. Please share your thoughts in comments! Right now, they're recapping Operation Condor, etc. The girls went to the hospital and all have a new perspective. The veto was not used ... and now we're ready!
Oy, my. Julie Chen is wearing boots. She looks like a biker chick! But first ... she talks Operation Condor and the swinging pendulum.
It looks stupid for the girls to be wearing bikinis while the guys are dressed. BB should have made the guys wear bathing suits, too!
I wonder how many times they'll show Amanda collapsing. Her blood sugar is still low and the doc told her to eat five meals. Of course, she's supposed to be on slop, but...
It's raining again. Matt tries to buddy up with Adam. Adam has his back.
Sharon realizes that Matt and Natalie are the strongest team and this would be the perfect time to evict them. She campaigns. People listen... even Adam, but he says he will be voting for Matt to stay.
Matt coaches Natalie on what to say to Joshuah and Sharon to keep them safe not knowing that the tide has turned. She promises Joshuah that he'll never go up. Natalie thinks she has a special job with them, but it just ain't so.
Ryan wants Amanda and Alex out while Allison wants Matt and Natalie gone.
The vote will be live, but we get taped DR segments. Adam and Sheila are pro-Mattalie.
Julie is checking in with the HG, tells Amanda and Allison that she's glad they're okay. Amanda thinks everyone is closer. Sheila thinks her relationship with Allison is fine, but goes on about things being said behind her back ... has learned to keep things to herself. She was worried about Allison's health scare. James gets applause for helping out Amanda.
Alex aid it felt great when Amanda returned. (Yeah, right.)
Life without drinking cups and hot water was miserable according to Matt. Sheila says the slop diet is the best diet ever -- she's lost five pounds and it tastes nothing like oatmeal.
Jame and Chelsia kindred spirits coming up.
DR room segment with Joshuah and Sharon -- she wants Mattalie gone, Joshuah wants Amanda gone.
James and Chelsia's friends are going to tell us why they're a perfect fit. They think they're both caring and passionate people. I notice BB hasn't mentioned the gay porn. Heh.
Julie talks to the HOH couple -- she reminds James he promised they wouldn't nominate Mattalie, he explains both couples were the strongest up so one would go. Chelsia has no regrets. It will make it hard for others to trust them, but. James says most of the HG are materialistic and have no desire to find themselves. Chelsia admits to being a girly-girl, but has common ground (dive bars) with James.
DR with Ryan and Allison -- Ryan definitely wants Alex and Amanda out, but they don't seem to care for either couple.
Time to talk to the nominees. Alex and Amanda -- She, ups and downs, apologizes and asks for one more chance and pleads for Alex. He says it's family and he doesn't want to go home, loves everyone, keepin it real.
Matt and Natalie -- Thankful and blessed, BB did great job pikcing cast, doesn't want to go back to the BEAVER State (once again), Matt -- hard decision, nervous, I love you.
If a couple doesn't agree on the vote, they're immdeiately evicted.
Votes are to evict
Sheila and Adam -- Amanda and Alex
Joshuah and Sharon -- Alex and Amanda, reluctantly
Ryan and Allison -- Amanda and Alex
Amanda and Alex are unanimously evicted.
Hugs, tears. They didn't look too shocked at all. Amanda isn't going to hold up too well with Julie.
Julie asks Alex about taking more of the blame for the eviction because he didn't campaign to save himself. He now says it's 50/50 blame. Amanda campaigned. She thought it would help them. Alex stayed true to his word. Alex still thinks Amanda is a beautiful woman.
Goodbye messages: Allison said they ignored her, Ryan said they had it out for him, Joshuah apologized for the comments he made to Amanda, Natalie loves them, Matt says Alex was his boy in the house. Nothing from Adam or Sheila.
HOH comp time. There's a nautical theme and it's called Words of Love. The questions are about the lvoe quotes all over the house. If they buzz in and are right, they eliminate another HG. Women first
Sharon eliminates Allison. Sharon eliminates Sheila. Sharon wins the ladies round.
Guys up. Ryan was wrong, eliminates himself. Joshuah eliminates Matt.
Joshuah and Sharon are the new HOH couple. Julie congratulates them and Sharon said they studied. They both want pictures from home. Matt says nice things about Alex.
Supposedly the evicted couple next week will get a surprise no one will expect and the season will begin a new chapter. I would guess it's the breaking up of the couples play. They have to do it to have a full-length season. But I wonder why the COUPLE will receive a surprise. A reprieve? Only one goes?
