BB9: Live Feeds Overnight Into Friday 3/07


Here are the happenings through the overnight from inside the Big Brother House:
  • Sheila told Chelsia that James adores her and she's sure that he'd take her off the block if he wins POV.
  • James told Chelsia he won't let her go home.
  • Ryan told Chelsia that there's a 99% chance she won't go home. He's sure it will be like the 6-0 which sent out Allison -- everyone will vote to send Sharon home. I don't think Sharon is the slam dunk Allison was, do you?
  • Natalie is ticked off at bad treatment by Matt. She said if she wins HOH she will put him on the block. (Give her a minute and I'm sure she'll be in love with him again.)
  • Joshuah suggested to Natalie that he could approach Ryan with a two weeks safety deal to backdoor Matt. Natalie told him Ryan and Matt are close and it wouldn't work.
  • They had a huge pool table for POV practice.
  • As they all practiced, it looked like Adam and Chelsia were best at the huge pool.
  • Shela and Joshuah think Adam had to be cast because he's crazy.
  • A large contingent has been saying how Matt needs to go because he plays everyone.
  • Sheila went to bed, barely practicing at all. She must love being alone in the Boat Room now.
  • But she couldn't resist and eventually practices.
  • Is Natalie that mad at Matt? Nope, she tells him everything everyone has been saying about him.
  • Matt thinks he's the new Evel Dick. @@
  • All are asleep as I post this.

BB9: Live Feeds Into the Evening, Thursday 3/06


James and Chelsia snuggle.

If you missed my really brief post in the middle of other things happening earlier -- Ryan nominated Chelsia and Sharon for eviction. He had earlier told Chelsia (without out saying who her fellow nom would be) that she was the pawn. That can be the kiss of death as we all know.

A bit off topic, but my Survivor review is up over on TV Squad.

Here are the happenings since the nominations went down in that Big Brother House of Vote Early, Vote Often:
  • Natalie told Joshuah she won't vote against Sharon. She said that Chelsia personally attacked her, so she'll vote to evict her.
  • She also told Joshuah that Sheila wants Chelsia out, too. (Actually I think Sheila wants Adam out, but she doesn't have a choice.)
  • Natalie and Joshuah think that Chelsia must be the target because "everyone likes Sharon."
  • Joshuah is worried that it might be a plot to backdoor him if the POV is used.
  • Adam wanted beer and the BB rules book from the storage room to figure out how many compete for POV, but the camera nodded "no" and he wasn't allowed in.
  • Don't you love it when cameras not only watch you, but they interact?
  • As Natalie and Joshuah were trashing Chelsia elsewhere, Chelsia worried -- "How do I know they're not out to get me?"
  • Chelsia asked James if he won the POV, would he save her. He told her no because she has the votes to stay.
  • Then he told her he would if she wanted him to use it on her.
  • James said it would really bite if they voted her out.
  • James and Chelsia snuggled. (See screen cap above.)
  • Adam thinks Joshuah will vote however Ryan wants him to. I'm not so sure about that. Joshuah has more of a connection with Sharon in the house than he does with Ryan.
  • James told Joshuah that Ryan wants Sharon gone. Joshuah is shocked.
That's where we stand in Hamster Land.

'Celebrity Apprentice' East Coast Updates 3/06 Show


Although I won't be writing this episode up in its entirety, I will post the big news here as it airs here on the east coast.

Your comments and discussion, as always, are welcome!

It should be interesting -- Piers and Omarosa are the project managers.

The task is selling artwork in art galleries.

Piers and his team brought off the biggest beating in history. They tromped Omarosa's team. Uh-oh! Poor Omarosa. Heehee!

Omarosa is GONE! $7,000 vs over $150,000 in sales, third loss as a PM. It's an overdue firing I say.

I loved the Piers kissing Trace. I didn't expect that.

The "Omarosa Free" blinking sign on the promo for next week is a hoot! I guess even Trump knows that no one wanted her back on the show.

BB9 - Nominations are in

I'm watching two other shows, but I've picked up that Sharon is on the block. I'll update when I find out the other.

Chelsia and Sharon are the two nominated for eviction.

American Idol Boots

Kady Malloy is gone.
Luke Menard is gone.
A'siah is gone.
Danny Noriega is gone.

'Survivor Micronesia' - East Coast Updates - 3/06 Show

jackie's tv blog, survivor

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

My full show review will be posted over at TV Squad later tonight,

As always, comments are a joy! :-)

Tribes split schoolyard alternating. Ozzy and Natalie captains.

New Airai - Natalie, James, Alexis, Jonathan, Jason, Parvati, Kathy, Eliza
New Malakal - Ozzy, Joel, Amanda, Eric, Ami, Tracy, Cirie, Chet

Airai won reward -- BBQ dinner. No Exile Island so they can get to know each other. IMO -- Joel should be removed from the game. What he did to Chet in the challenge was horrible -- slamming him, dragging him.

Airai won Immunity.

Joel was blindsided. Good.

BB9 and Tonight's Blogging Plans

My latest BB9 live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. The nominations aren't in yet.

It's Thursday night again ... at 8 PM ET I'll put up an East Coast Updates post for Survivor and in that I'll cover major show events, but it's actually more for folks to comment on as they watch. Later tonight, my full review of the show will be posted at TV Squad and I'll be sure to link it for you.

While Survivor is on, I'll try to catch the boots from American Idol and always welcome folks to let me know as I'll have that show muted in the background. I will put up a separate AI East Coast boot post.

At 9 PM ET, I'll put up a Celebrity Apprentice East Coast Update post with the major events as they air ... again, discussion is very welcome on any of these! I'd write a full review, but I'll be in the midst of writing the Survivor review.

Once again, I'll be taping Lost. I hate to say this, but I haven't watched my last tape of the show! I'm definitely doing a two-hour Lost sit-in on Sunday! When I finally get them watched, I'll put up a post about both episodes. Perhaps a bit shorter than my usual Lost post, but ...!


BB9: Live Feeds Through the Night Into Thursday


Why, it's Adam with his hand down his pants again! What a shock!

Here's the skinny on last night in that Big Brother House of Single Again:
  • Chelsia said that Allison had tried to buy her vote with a dress.
  • James and Chelsia told each other they would have their backs even though they're not a "soulmate" couple any longer.
  • They smooched ... so maybe they are still a couple.
  • Sheila cried to Adam over Allison's leaving. She said she talked to her a lot and she thought it was a horrible and sad exit for her -- she was so thrilled then so let down.
  • Sheila thinks the people in the house are horrible, mean, and will do anything to win. (Hey, that's Big Brother!)
  • James told Joshuah he's a bisexual bicyclist.
  • They spoke about Sheial, how she tried too hard at the game, and her gambling past.
  • Ryan drank all four of his beers.
  • They're asleep as I get this posted.

BB9 - Live Feeds After the Live Eviction Show

Ryan checks out his Bone Thugs CD in his HOH room reveal.

So, how have the hamsters adjusted to being singletons? Here's what's happened since the show ended:
  • Matt, Ryan, and Adam decide it's going to be the Four Bros. (Why am I not surprised?) They think James is still in shock.
  • Matt kicked Natalie out of the room and called it a bachelor pad.
  • Matt and company think that Joshua and Sharon will be nominated this week.
  • Natalie is sure Matt will miss her. @@ (What is with her?)
  • Chelsia thinks that she, James, Sharon, and Joshuah have huge targets on their backs.
  • They now think no one is coming back due to the time frame and that no one has been sequestered at this point.
  • Chelsia told Joshuah that James shared many secrets with her and she's not happy being separated. (It's not like they're divorced, is it?)
  • They claim all "operations" are now over. Gardener successfully completed.
  • James thinks that Chelsia will become a social butterfly now, ignoring him now that they aren't a couple.
  • Chelsia thinks James is already ignoring her.
  • It dawned on them that the half-million prize won't have to be split. Smart hamsters.
  • Sheila complained about Adam's sleeping habits and Adam complained about Sheila complaining about him. He says he can finally play the game his way.
  • Ryan told Adam he has no idea who to nominate.
  • Matt told Natalie that maybe her soulmate is in the house, maybe it's ADAM! Heh.
  • Matt flirted with Chelsia. Hey, he's a free man now.
  • They toured the HOH room, saw pictures of Ryan's pit bull and others. Natalie asked for one of his beers and he told her no. Sheila and Sharon didn't ask, but made comments about how they'd share after they left the room.
  • Joshuah is worried.
  • Adam thinks the winner will make the interview circuit including Letterman. How wrong is he?
Speaking of Adam ... if I have to suffer, you do too. Here he is in the kitchen in between cooking some hot dogs, reaching in his pants way down deep in the middle of a room of people. EWWW.

'Big Brother 9' - Live Eviction Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

The show has started here on the east coast. As it airs, I'll constantly be updating this entry. As it's written a bit off the cuff as I watch the show, please forgive any typos. I'm usually halfway decent as long as my fingers are on the right keys! ;-)

As always, I love to read your thoughts about the show in comments!

Ah, reacp is over and we have Julie in high black boots, short black skirt, big black turtleneck with bunches of silver bling. But first ... the siren thought has the HG on edge and we get more recap bits.

Sheila is not happy to be on the block but Allison is happy because she thinks Sheila was a sure vote to evict her. Oh, let's recap the siren bit once again. Nerves are on edge!

Ryan tells Allison he trusts Matt, but she doesn't trust him at all. Matt tells Ryan that he loves Adam, but he's been floating. Matt thinks he'll play people so they think the one vote was from him. He plays them all. Allison thinks that Matt and Natalie will vote to keep thme. She approaches James and Chelsia. He says they've made no proimises to anyone.

James tells Allison he thinks Matt may not vote for her, she refuses to believe it. So, Sheila apporaches James, too. He's not giving her any promises, but she tells him that Matt said he'd vote for her and Adam to stay. That concerns James.

James confronts Matt in front of both Ryan and Adam. Matt says it's called Big Brother. But now both Ryan and Adam know he's promised both of them his vote. Busted!

The pre-vote DR sessions we see with Matt/Natalie and James/Chelsia looked SO staged with both couples bring up reasons to vote out/keep different people. Hmmm...

Julie asks about James' theories and others offer a bunch of them. What's the most surprising thing has Sharon learned about Joshuah? Always fun, always smiling. She says she accidentally broke the pic of Jason from last night.

Okay, they're reshowing Matt and Natalie the POV win. The family and friends of Matt and Natalie chime in on their relationship. We go to the Beaver State. Natalie's looking for love, they say. They think she's falling for Matt and that's not a good thing. Over in Boston, his bro friends say they know he's going for the win.

Julie just said that when the evicted houseguests reach the door, the siren will go off and the game will change. And now we're into commercial.

We're back. Julie says the front door will be locked and they can't leave. The second the siren goes off, the game goes individual and only ONE of the evicted couple will leave. The votes are already done, not live, and Julie announces 2-0 Ryan and Allison are evicted.

Hugs, hugs, c'mon, go for the door! More hugs. The door is locked. SIREN! Allison and Ryan are thrilled. Joshuah looks crushed. Julie tells them she has an important announcement. Game about to change. No longer couples, cheers! Joshuah shocked. Sharon shocked. Partners up to each of you -- your partner is now your competition.

Allison and Ryan, only one of you will be leaving tonight. A live vote will determine which one goes.

Allison and Ryan have a chance to plead their cases. Ryan looks embarrassed, would like to stay to spend another week up on the block. Allison is sobbing, really wants to stay, but would be happy if Ryan stayed, too.

Adam votes first -- to evict Allison. Chelsia votes to evict Allison. Matt votes to evict Allison. Sheila votes to evict Allison. Natalie votes to evict Allison. James votes to evict Allison. It's unanimous. Allison is a goner.

She pretty much brushed past everyone. They're happy, she's with Julie. Now Joshuah is smiling. Dang, can't they control the language ... more bleeps than speech.

Allison says she's very surprised to be sitting there alone. She's not ahppy, says the lesbian lie was just a jokle and wasn't meant to stir anything up.

Goodbye messages, Matt and Nat nice. Joshuah still going off about the lesbian lies, Sheila cries and will miss her, wishes her the best. Allison says the best part, what she'll remember is going in without a plan, learning about herself and other people. HOH single comp is next.

The HOH comp is a booth Q&A set up called Time After Time, about the order of things which have happened in the house.

James and Natalie out. Only Adam and Ryan still in the running. A shot of the guinea pig made me giggle.

Ryan is the new HOH! From being evicted to being HOH, he ran the gamut tonight!

Julie says the surprises arent;' over yet. After commercial whe'll tell us how we can take control (?).

Evicted houseguests have all been sequestered, have no idea what's going on. We can vote for one to return. I'd like to see Alex come back!

BB9 Tonight

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I'll be posting a live-blogging post of tonight's live eviction show which has promised changes!

See you there!

'Big Brother 9' - Late Night and Into the Dawn Wednesday


It turns out that the Hudson River Virus may have infected the houseguests prior to us ever seeing them. The symptoms? Huge egos, bad manners, foul mouths, wanton sexual drive, and an increased and exorbitant level of the annoyance factor.

Well, maybe I made that all up. Here are the happenings from the overnight hours in that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:
  • As some of the couples were getting called into the DR, Joshuah increasingly freaked out. "They never call couples the night before an eviction!" He's sure he won't be able to sleep a wink and kept pacing the HOH room.
  • Natalie went around writing numbers of things in nail polish on a napkin. She said she was creating art, but it was actually study tips for herself. When she was called solo into the Diary Room, Joshuah was thrilled because he was sure they'd take it away from her as it's against the rules.
  • The remote is missing for the HOH television and Joshuah can't use the TV to spy on others. Joshuah said BB took it.
  • Joshuah is super paranoid that Allison will somehow remain in the house.
  • Natalie begged fro more "Mattie time." @@ I'm just finding her infatuation a bit pathetic.
  • When she was after Matt, she still had her numbers "art."
  • Sharon accidentally broke the glass on the framed photo of her and Jacob. Accidentally? Yeah. She cried.
  • There was a flash of a BB staffer (stranger in the house!) in the storage room.
  • Joshuah was restless for most of the night so far, the others are sleeping.
  • No sirens, no real drama ... yet.

BB9 Schtuff!


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!

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

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

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.

'Big Brother 9' - Live Feeds Overnight into Tuesday 3/04


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.

Latest BB9 Live Feeds Report ...

... is up over on TV Squad!

These houseguests don't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Oh. I guess a few have nice smiles.

BB9: Live Feeds Into Monday Dawn


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.

BB9 Stuff

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!

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

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

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.

BB9: Live Feeds Blurb

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.
