The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. Please forgive any typos as this is being typed on the fly as I watch my television. As always, comments are very welcome!
Recap, the nominations ceremony all over again. And again, this time in black and white ... of course. It's Day 50. James thinks he'll be nominated each week unless he wins HOH. Joshuah thinks James is the real target. Natalie says James is her target -- she will send him not only to Chelsia, but to Mattie.
James feels he's on an island and it's taken an emotional toll. Sharon and Ryan think that James will go home. Ryan says if James doens't win POV, Joshuah is good. But then Sheila is telling James he should win POV. What's with that woman? She says it's her gut saying she will stay. Uh-oh, James thinks it means a lot to him.
Ah, but then she pep talks Joshuah. But James hears her lying! She is rallying evryone. Zippidee doo dah says Natalie trying to hush Sheila as James enters. "I'm the annoying houseguest who won't leave." -- from James.
Sheila tells Joshuah that James is a scary player and everyone wants him out of here. James walks in and catches her again. Now Sheila is saying how she's gald he heard it. Ryan and Adam seem to be disinterested in the long run with her.
James and the music ... he confronts her and mentions they said she feels better now. He calls her a twop-faced bitch. WOW. He was shaking all over. Although he can be scary, Sheila deserved to be caught in her lies, I think. She keeps doing this and needs to be called out on it. "Lying sack of ..." Of course, the black bikini underwear didn't help him much, nor the pink mohawk.
Now James is ranting at Natalie. He tells Natalie he doesn't have anyone to play with. He's losing his voice. "Let me be frustrated at her. What a two-faced bitch." Adam read the bible and stays out of it. Sheila isn't in the room. Whoops Adam is here ... you gunning for me, bro? That was odd. Adam yelled about them gunning for him and now it's cool, he'll go back to the bible.
Joshuah and James are in the kitchen. Josh tells James that today it got her -- he's told her she has to stop playing everyone in the house. James has real tears. It meant a lot to him when Sheila told him how much she supported him and then to be shooting him down behind his back.
He's crying, the first time since his dad died. I think his age is showing now. He's right -- they all want him out and he is all alone.
Veto player picking time. James is getting into his mental warrior zone where he needs to win, win, win. Nat chose HG choice. Joshuah chose Sheila's name, James got Sharon. Adam was funny on the couch waiting to be picked for host.
The backyard has small mini-replicas next to bigger items. BB Boardwalk, crazy objects from BB past and present. The answers are amounts. They can stay or fold. Folding you remain in the game. Confidence in answer can go to poiint, must be closest to real answer. First player to three points, POV.
The letter blocks -- how many blocks in cage? 992, Natalie won point. Joshuah and Sharon out in the first round.
The veto peace pins -- 930 - Ryan gets it, Natalie's out.
Tub of lard -- Sheila got it because James and Ryan folded.
Rubber balls in gumball machine -- Heh ... both folded and James got the point.
Links in chain -- Sheila and Ryan folded again, James in lead for POV. Again Ryan would have had it but folded.
Joshuah is staring at his feet.
Popcorn -- How many pounds in both big containers. 49 -- James had said 54 and Ryan 75. Sheila folded and was way off. James wins the POV!
Joshuah is sure he's over with ... the funeral is over and he just needs to be put in the ground.
James is doing a veto dance. He's happy again. But Joshuah is crying. Aww. He thinks that they'll put up Sharon. She's the saint and he's the sinner. Sharon tells us she cares about him. He tells her he wants to be left alone.
Natalie tells Sharon that she can't put up anyone from her side so she has to put her up. "I am the ultimate pawn." Now both Sharon and Joshuah are teary.
Ryan visits Sheila. Natalie keeps wondering why James has nine lives. She smiles even when she's upset. Joshuah tells Sharon and Sheila that he won't run around pressuring people. Sharon cries. Joshuah asks Sheila to take care of Sharon. More tears.
Ohhh... toilet cam! Sharon crying. Sheila pep talks her. And it's dawning on Joshuah that he should try to stay. He visits Natalie. He's asking her for one more week. He thinks he might get James and Ryan if she will break the tie. She agrees, then looks confused.
Sheila is still trying to calm down Sharon. Ryan thinks he and James will vote for Joshuah. He asks James, he agrees ... says they can't tell Sheila and Adam. Back to Ryan, Nat, and Joshuah -- Joshuah will protect them both. Two weeks, deal.
James is ready to d the veto meeting. Joshuah says he's had one philosopphy -- win comps and stay in the game. He lest himself down and doesn't deserve to be saved. Interesting sppech. He tells Sheila she can win comps if she puts her mind to it.
No surprise, she puts Sharon up because she wants to keep her side safe.
Meeting adjourned.
Confrontational, yet inspirational speech. Sheila is impressed. Hmmm...
Interesting contrast with Sharon and Joshuah reactions. She's thinking mothering him while he's thinking of getting her out of the house instead of himself.
My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I'll be live blogging tonight's show when it starts here, then a full review/recap over on TVS later this evening. Alas, Hell's Kitchen starts tonight and since I'm doing the TVS review of BB, I feel I must record it in case I miss something. That means I can't watch/record HK! Hopefully they'll have it online.
A few folks mentioned live feeds in the sequester house. I'm not sure where that's coming from, but I haven't seen anything about it that looks official. Usually the only cameras they have on sequester are the ones when new folks arrive. I don't think we'll be seeing live feeds there.
Later!
I want Sheila out, really I do. Yeah, I know she's not on the block. But her non-stop talking, repeating things she's repeated before, her crying, her smugness that she knows it all because she's 45, the constant single mom references, the sound of her voice ... it's all too much!
Thanks go to Zoetawny for the banner plane!
Here are the evening and overnight happenings in the Big Brother House of Aggravation:
- Adam bought Joshuah's hysterics act. He told Sharon to please go talk to him because he's feeling so isolated.
- They had a long talk. During the talk Sharon told him that Sheila said Adam claims to just be there for fun as he has money.
- She also told him Natalie has no debt. She (Sharon) owes a lot and would pay her debts with the winnings.
- James thinks Natalie and Sheila are getting way too cocky.
- Sheila told Ryan she needs to win HOH or she'll be gone. I think she says those things just to put herself in the center of attention.
- The Girls Alliance seems to be together on the down low. (Don't ya love it when I can use expressions like down low?)
- Sharon thinks James will be bitter even if he wins.
- Sheila thinks James is jealous because Adam would donate money to autism. @@
- James told Joshuah he'd be thrown under the bus for helping him.
- Sheila told Adam they have to stick together. (Hey, I thought they weren't a couple according to Sheila yesterday?!?)
- Sharon told Ryan she's getting upset because Sheila is acting like she's won the game already.
- Joshuah made Easter candy he can't eat because he's on slop.
- BB gave them some cards, checkers, and craft stuff to keep them occupied. (I think they pick this stuff up at a dollar store!)
- Natalie slept through all the excitement of stuff to do.
- They had fun with the modeling clay -- Sheila made a turtle, James made an alien.
- Natalie woke up and wanted to sculpt ... not a surprise.
- Heh. Joshuah likened Sheila to the Crypt Keeper due to her skin and said she should wear one-piece bathing suits, not bikinis.
- Natalie made a girl with the clay. Ryan made a boy. Ain't that sweet?
- Joshuah went on an anti-Sheila mini-tirade to James and Sharon.
- Ryan and Sheila talked about faking an injury so they could go to the hospital and eat some real food. (Real food at a hospital? They must be desperate!)
- Natalie painted a picture of a pin-up girl. (A self portrait?)
- James wants the HOH to be physical this week because he thinks he does better at the physical ones.
- Adam is running out of cigarettes.
- James roamed the night once again. All are in bed as I post this.
Due to popular request, here it is! A blog discussion post for the new season of The Bachelor: London Calling. Grab a keyboard and a comfy seat and discuss the show with your friends. It's not a show I watch, but I know many of you do, so this post is for you!
The official show site is here.
This is who should win the season and take home the half-million!
My latest feeds report is up over on TV Squad and I'll be putting up a new discussion post for The Bachelor. I'm still not watching it, but I know many of you want a place to talk about the show!
Shhh ... don't wake up the houseguests. Actually, this screen cap of Joshuah isn't while he's sleeping. The night vision cameras aren't any good for screen caps. He's thinking, not sleeping.
Here are the late night and overnight events from inside that Big Brother House of Deluded Duos and Supercilious Singles:
- Joshuah thinks Ryan and Adam will turn against Natalie in the end. (I'm sure they will!)
- James and Joshuah told Sharon that they would vote to give Ryan the money at the end instead of Adam (if they're there). If Natalie makes it, they would vote for her.
- Joshuah thinks he'll tell everyone he and Neil were indeed a couple before the show as he goes out the door. (Lie.)
- James played more solo chess.
- Adam played with going to the HOH room, ringing the bell, and running. Ah, childhood memories!
- Natalie told James that Sheila doesn't want him to start up again with pranks.
- James once again roamed the night alone on his own Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
This screen cap I took of James is about how I feel right now. Thankfully, I don't have those tattoos and the mohawk, but ...! I wrote up the show review and it's over on TV Squad. I'll be doing the Sunday and Tuesday show reviews for the rest of the season there, but I'll continue live blogging here (complete with typos!).
Here are the Sunday night happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Hooligans and Pranksters:
- Sheila says that when she wins HOH, Ryan will have to read her letter from her son because she'd cry. I don't think she'll have to worry, but I was wrong about Natalie's possibilities of winning, so who knows?
- Adam mentioned they should throw the HOH to Sheila. He got no takers.
- Sheila thinks she's made relationships with everyone in the house and they're all real. (She should have continued on to say real fake, real bad, etc.)
- Sheila thinks James is stupid. Natalie thinks all of them are stupid.
- Natalie is still on her God kick. Sheila told her she will have a huge following for her beliefs.
- Ryan told Joshuah that Natalie is still on board with breaking the tie to keep him ... if she keeps her word.
- They're mad because James called Adam out for throwing comps in his speech (POV?). Adam says he did, but he won't throw any more comps.
- Sheila told Natalie that everyone deserves to win except Chelsia and James.
- Someone (Sheila) requested spray disinfectant to clean (the kitchen counters from the shoe prank).
- Sheila and Natalie are STILL griping about Chelsia in the house and how she left. Get over it, gals! It's now history!
- Sheila appreciates Joshuah's honesty for saying he hasn't played the game well.
- Natalie is still beaming over being more inspirational.
- Joshuah has a plan. He's hungry and he's on the block. The penalty for eating food when on slop is a penalty nomination. Two plus two equals ...? Although I recall last season they didn't give someone a penalty nom when on the block as it would screw things up. Jen when she ate, that's it!
- Natalie and Joshuah supposedly have a secret alliance because secret alliances are the only ones which work. Now, she'll show it's not an alliance if she has to break the tie as she'll show it's a lie or, if she votes to keep him, it's not a secret. Kind of a short planned secret alliance, eh?
- Joshuah told Ryan he had more tricks up his sleeve.
- Joshuah told James he wants to leave the game. He said Natalie won't stop talking.
- When asked by James, Josh told him no one gave him their word to vote to keep him. He said Natalie said yes on the tie-breaker. "Do you believe her?" James asked. (I don't!)
- Sharon made a deal with Ryan (who already has a deal with Joshuah).
- Sharon told Ryan she won't make a deal with the girls. (Ah, the hush-hush Girls Alliance is indeed a covert operation!)
- Lots of speculation of future days and small talk.
The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome!
We have to go through Chelsia's meltdown once again. And her eviction. And now again in black and white after the credits, Chelsia leaves and takes them all on again. Natalie tells us she was in college for three years. Sheila thinks Chelsia said a low calss and disrespecful thing to a 45-year-old. Joshua feels like he lost his sister in the house. James says it sucks that someone you're close to is gone.
Day 49 -- The aftermath of Chelsia leaving continues. Sheila thinks Chelsia was jealous of a 45-year-old woman. Joshush tells us HOH is crucial for his alliance. Natalie feels so good to know that America thinks she's inspirational. Joshuah knocks Natalie's brain power.
Nat wins HOH again. God waited for the right time for her to win. Sheila thinks Natalie deserved the win and wants vengeance or closure. James thinks Nat's win sucks. Joshuah is kicking himself for losing to Natalie in a mental comp. Adam thinks something is in that holy spirit and he's happy for her.
Ryan thinks the others are shocked and surprised that Natalie won a mental comp. Now she's quoting the bible and thanking God. Ryan names them Team Christ. Adam says he can't knock the Lord, Team Christ!
Nat's on the sevens again. Seven is all over in her life, you know. Tomorrow starts week eight. She's got Adam into it as Ryan bites his nails. Joshuah thinks she's crazy and her theories change as it suits her. Last week eight, this week seven. James points out that it's the eight week, not the seventh.
James looks ridiculous in his shortie robe and hoodie. He goes to Nat. Tells her she needs to trust him. She asks God what to do.
HOH room time. Joshuah noticed that all of Nat's pictures were of her ... except the dog ones. Her letter from home has her choked up. Quick cut to James as she reads her father writing that she was smart .. I swear he wanted to snicker. Sheila turns it to about her in the DR missing her son. Natalie says her parents don't talk and got together for the letter. Adam shed a tear or two.
Natalie hides for hide and seek and the boys look for her. Old footage! Her knee is sticking out of the laundry basket. Josh tells her. She wants to hide again. Joshuah keeps rolling his eyes. They're looking for her and find her crammed in under the sink. How did she fit in there?
Sheila asks Joshuah how he told his parents he was gay. He was 18 in Austin and wanted to go to a party. His mother told him he had to come home, finally he said he was gay. Mom told Dad, they didn't talk about it much at first. He feels better for having told them. Sheila loves his parents now. She makes valid points, but she's SHEILA! I hate agreeing with Sheila, but I must!
Joshuah and Sharon talk -- if James has to go home, he's a scary dude and fierce ... he must!
James is up visiting Natalie again. She tells him she doesn't have a partner and she trusts him more than she trusts Josh. He wants to work with her. They decide to work together and no one knows. She talks about putting Joshuah up. They call final two now. She considers it in the DR to us. She admits he kept his word to her, but Matt went. He points out Chelsia is gone. She's in a quandry.
Time for the food comp! Natalie hosts, gets food all week as HOH. One at a time BB will call them to the yard for a smashing food comp. Adam hates the thought of slop. They're isolated in separate rooms. They're kind of in Kansas. BB gives them the choice of going on slop or food. If not enough choose slop, they'll go on slop. It's all about greed. No matter what, three will get slop for the week. Sharon thinks the guys will all go on food. She chooses slop.
Adam is up, reads it. He automatically goes for food. Sheila thought it a tough choice just like Sharon. Joshuah had issues too. He picks slop thinking the four who picked food will end up on slop. Ryan is figuring out the numbers, too. He goes for slop (but I don't think they showed it). James chose slop, too.
Natalie tells them they reveal it by crushing watermelon. A mority will go on slop. Less than goes on food. Sharon, slop. James, slop. Joshuah, slop. Those three now on slop. Anyone from now on who picked slop gets slop. Ryan, slop. Sheila, slop. Adam, food. One stroke ... and he's thrilled!
James is up in the middle of the night, hard to sleep alone. He talks to himself while playing pool. He cried alone. He played chess alone. It sucks, you know.
Adam and Ryan are creating a whirlpool in the pool swamping Sunglass Duck. Okay.
Natalie is looking at Matt's picture on the Memory Wall. Sharon, Ryan, Joshuah laugh about it. Joshuah thinks Matt should go in the Witness Protection Program or get a restraining order. They think she's stalking his picture.
Ryan tells Natalie that she should backdoor James. She tells us she's still contemplating the deal from James. Her "struck by a dumb stick" look comes over her face as Ryan talks to her.
Nat explains her duties as HOH. Ryan is't worried. He wants James out this week. Joshuah is concerned. James is worried but has hope. Natalie says it's her decision and she will do what's best for her. She thinks it's a good strategy and the noms won't come back to bite her.
It's time! She tells them it's difficult and she must do what's best for her in the game. Key order: Adam, (Sheila smirks), Sheila, Ryan, Sharon. James and Josh are up.
Joshuah -- you are a threat and have never been nominated. Jame s-- I want to believe your word, but ... she goes on to say James and Joshuah are probably working together. She tells us James' word means nothing to her and she can't trust him. Joshuah says he's no longer a block virgin.
As expected, James removed himself from the block and Natalie put Sharon up.
60 Minutes is on here, things seem to be running about a half hour late.
Thanks go out to Zoetawny for the graphic!
My latest BB9 feeds report is up at TV Squad. I fully expect tonight's show to be delayed by basketball, but will put up a live blogging post when it starts here in the NYC area.
I hope everybody is having a fine Sunday. Here, I heard the word "sleet" in the forecast. Wah!
Yes, it's a new version of the bible! Forget the Old Testament and St. James, it's Natalie's Bible! Thanks go out to graphic artist Zoetawny, of course.
I guess the BB9 house is a lot warmer than it is around here. We had temperatures down near the teens last night. Brr. And they say it's spring?
I left you early yesterday evening with BB playing pranks on the houseguests. Joshuah seemed to either be the target or just perhaps first discovered masked faces in the mirror/windows lining the walls and a plastic rat in the icebox. He's the one I see most often going for the icebox, so it wasn't surprising he discovered the rat. Well, it was surprising to him.
Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Pimp My Prank:
- Sheila got sprayed with the sink hose in the kitchen. BB prank or fellow houseguest work, I don't know.
- Natalie and Sheila think a picture of Allison would really freak out Joshuah.
- Sheila heard strange voices. (In her mind or was it another prank?)
- Sheila said her boyfriend (?) George and her son will beat up James at the wrap party. (Oh, come on! Sheesh! If you sign to go on the show, you have to know people are going to say and do things you don't like!)
- At one point, an image of one of the guinea pigs showed on their plasma screen in the living room. The plasma screen usually shows a fireplace, BB announcements like "Nominations Today" and such, and is used during live shows so they can see Julie Chen.
- Ryan nixes the Soy Sauce Slop.
- The feeds were blocked for a while. When they returned, Sharon was going on about what happened to her fur-iends.
- Supposedly it was the guinea pigs doing all the pranks on the house for April Fool's Day. (Yeah, it sounds lame. I had nothing to do with it!)
- Joshuah and Sharon talked about how scripted things are with BB making things happen.
- The Girls Alliance grows stronger as the boys play pool and always exclude them.
- James, Joshuah, and Adam toilet-papered Sheila's room.
- As they wait for her to discover it, Sheila complained to Natalie about all the pranks they've pulled on her. They are not allowed to flour her! Or spray her with water! (Gremlins must not be fed flour and never get them wet after midnight!)
- Chelsia's bad behavior is still a major topic in the house.
- Sheila discovers her room TP'd and thinks her bed is broken. The bed isn't broken -- the boys just switched the mattress on it.
- Natalie thought Sheila's room bit was funny.
- Sheila didn't.
- Joshuah made floury hand prints on the refrigerator to annoy Sheila.
- Ryan and the boys plan to keep waking up Sheila during the night banging on pans. (How original, eh?)
- Adam doesn't think it's a good idea and Joshuah doesn't want to do it if he's the only one doing it.
- They decided to postpone the wake-ups until tomorrow.
- Joshuah asked Adam how it looks for him. Adam was evasive.
- Adam and Ryan laughed about how Joshuah will break down when he gets evicted.
- Adam allegedly was in prison in France for three months. I didn't get the background to that story.
- James and Josh went ahead and woke up Sheila by banging pots and pans. She covered her head with the blankets and pillow until they went away.
- Joshuah told James he needs to vote to keep him in the house because he's a target and it diffuses the target on James.
- Joshuah says he brought Sharon back and now he'll leave because of her. (Well, if he thinks about it, it's because of himself.)
- James was up until the wee hours once again roaming the house. He exercised, snacked, and wandered aimlessly.
- As the HG slept, it sounds like there's a duck in the backyard. They're all still asleep as I post this.
I'm awaiting my more extensive report to go up on TV Squad, but I'm not sure when it might show, so I thought I'd do a brief update here for now.
The vote change, then re-change, and change again is still on. Even if Ryan and James vote to keep Joshuah, Natalie will vote to keep Sharon in a tie-breaker.
The biggest new news is that BB has been doing odd things in the house -- faces in the windows, a fake rat in the icebox. The HG think they're doing it for footage for the April Fool's Day show.
Natalie had another premonition -- James will leave April 9. I guess she's finished with 7s and 8s.
I took these screen caps of the hamsters in the yard last night. In the second one they were trying to signal for help from a helicopter which kept flying overhead. The helicopter flew away and the BB9 Seven remain on the island.
If you haven't read the previous entry, scroll back to read it before this one. Here's the latest from the overnight hours:
- Sheila says everyone hates her because she's so honest. @@
- Joshuah told Natalie that Adam told him he will give him his vote because James is voting for him to stay. He said Adam said he'd work on Ryan to get him to vote for him, too. (Adam is clueless of the most recent conspiring in the house.)
- Adam is worried about Sharon putting him on the block if she wins HOH.
- With Sheila, Josh was still talking as if he's going out unanimously (or near it) on Wednesday.
- Sharon said she'd do whatever it takes to stay in the game.
- Sharon talked to Natalie. She bad-mouthed Ryan to her. Now, Ryan has been telling Natalie that Sharon is the mole. How will Natalie react?
- Why, Natalie tells Sharon that Ryan, James, and Joshuah are trying to send her (Sharon) home this week! Loose lips sink ships!
- Natalie tells Sharon she wants to stick to her original plan and get rid of the boys.
- Sharon warned Natalie that James tells Joshuah everything which is said to him.
- The Girls Alliance is in full swing -- Natalie, Sharon, and Sheila.
- Ryan and Adam talked -- Ryan wants to make sure that Sharon will put up James if she gets HOH. They plan to use their voting power to get her to do what they want.
- James is still adamant that he'll be giving Joshuah a sympathy vote.
- Natalie told Adam she has to vote out Joshuah because he poured pickle juice all over her.
- Lots of small talk, sex talk and plans of pranks on each other.
- Joshuah scared Sheila by jumping out at her and laughter ensued.
So, first it looked like Joshuah was going home. Then the tides turned and it was Sharon going home. Now it's Joshuah going home again. And we still have about five days until the actual vote.
Adam supplies the secret ingredient for the meal Natalie is preparing for them. Mystery meat!
Here are the happenings since the POV in the Big Brother House of the Comeback Kid:
- Joshuah, fully accepting that he will be going home this week, told everyone he just wants to have a nice week in the house. He said he won't blow up.
- Ryan is really, really ticked off that James won POV.
- Ryan told Adam they need to keep Joshuah. It's expected that Sharon will be put on the block in place of James to (supposedly) insure Joshuah will go home.
- Even though Sheila said she wanted to go on the block, Natalie says she won't nominate her. She doesn't want to be in position of tie-breaker.
- Joshuah talked to Natalie, telling her he understands why she put him on the block and he's not mad. She apologized to him.
- Ryan told Natalie that if Joshuah isn't voted out, he'll give her safety. He once again mentioned that Sharon is the mole.
- Natalie is worried that James and Joshuah will work together if Josh stays.
- Natalie told James that Sharon will be going on the block and they're thinking of keeping Joshuah.
- Sharon is getting worried.
- Natalie told Joshuah she'd need a one week deal that Ryan and James would vote to keep him and she'll break a tie vote in his favor. Joshuah told her that he has had a deal with Ryan for a while now.
- Joshuah told her he'd give them two weeks if they give him one.
- Natalie said after this week, Adam and Sheila need to go.
- Everyone loves the new Joshuah.
- He said he'll mope around so people don't suspect anything's up.
- Joshuah told Natalie he indeed saw Matt and Chelsia making out one night.
- James agreed to the keep James deal.
- James mentioned to Sharon he might give Joshuah a sympathy vote. (He didn't give one to Chelsia when he knew she'd be unanimously voted out! She should suspect trouble ahead.)
- Continuing the ruse, Joshuah told Sheila that he will go with grace and dignity and asked that she take good care of Sharon.
- Sharon thinks James is going to win the game. Joshuah thinks he should.
- The new alliance of Natalie, Ryan, James, and Joshuah is underway.
- Sharon and Sheila think there is still a war ongoing between James and Natalie.
- James and Joshuah talked alone about feeling sorry for Sharon, but it has to be done.
- Sharon told Joshuah she feels it's her duty to win it all and have a party for him.
- Adam asked Ryan if he won HOH, would he put up James? Ryan said he would.
- Adam is worried about Sharon putting him on the block if she wins HOH. He should be worrying about his own people doing that. Little do they know, but Sheila and Adam are the targets of the new alliance.
- Sheila is very thrilled getting to know the new Joshuah.
- Sharon and Sheila have no clue that anything's going on, none at all.
Of course, it's still a number of days until eviction. But it looks like a flip-flop is going on once again.
He did it again. James won POV. Natalie is freaking. She thinks she'll put Sharon up again to get Joshuah out. Above is Joshuah's reaction.
The POV comp is underway right now -- I'll let you know when I know! My latest feeds report is up on TV Squad.
Sharon and Adam talking in the backyard last night.
Here's the latest from the Big Brother House of Abnormal Psychology:
- As I previously reported, all will play for veto except Adam who will host it.
- James picked Sharon in the random pick.
- Joshuah says he won't freak out because whatever happens he has to live with them -- either in the house or in sequester.
- They speculated about the POV but don't really know anything other than who's playing.
- Sheila and Natalie talked more about Chelsia.
- Sheila thinks it's time for her to win POV.
- Joshuah told Sharon that if he wins POV, he'll take himself off the block, but asked if she wins that she keeps the noms the same. He thinks he can win against James.
- James might be pulling a Chelsia. He thinks Sheila (or Kimberly, her alter ego) is a target. He decided he's going to make her life hell for the five days he has left.
- He screamed and swore at her.
- Sheila thinks James is insane -- she claims he was foaming at the mouth and everything.
- Sheila told Natalie to win POV, take James off, and put her on the block -- she wants to go home.
- Natalie said no, she won't put her on the block.
- James continued his meltdown, crying to Ryan and Adam. Oh, he's all alone in the game! Woe is me!
- Sheila said she's going to sleep in HOH with Natalie as long as James is in the house.
- After a DR session, James asked Sheila if she was okay. She told him that she told Natalie to put her on the block. He thinks as a pawn.
- Joshuah and James are both very subdued. They know one of them will be going this week. Joshuah said he knew he wouldn't be in with the "cool kids" in the house, he's always been one who watches from the outside.
- Before going to bed, Sheila wished James "good luck" and told him she meant it.
- James was up later than everyone else, but all are asleep as I get this posted.
It's a fine meal of fried slop with pickles for everyone except Adam and Natalie.
Here's what's happened in that Big Brother House of Sloppy Eaters:
- Natalie was worried that her speech may have been mean. She knows she just can't be mean!
- Natalie apologized to Joshuah for putting him on the block. She told him he'd have to win veto. As it stands with Joshuah and James, Josh will have the votes to stay. But he really has to go for the veto because if James wins it and takes himself off the block, it's bye-bye Joshuah!
- Joshuah shaved a part of his body. Yikes!
- James was in the sauna alone for a long time.
- Sheila is sure James will win POV.
- Joshuah eavesdropped on Natalie and Sheila and probably only got a headache.
- Sheila told James she thinks he'll win the game. She's often told him he doesn't deserve to win because he'd just waste the winnings.
- Natalie told Joshuah that James is a threat and really must go.
- They talked about Chelsia's attitude again.
- They got creative with the slop. Sheila kept saying how good it tastes. No one else said it was good.
- Adam is hosting the POV, everyone else is playing.
That's where it stands right now as I post this. I don't think anything major will happen until the POV is played tomorrow. Right now all they can do is speculate and eat slop.
Although I won't be writing the finale 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!
Both Piers and Trace are under pressure. Aw, Trace's wife and two little girls showed up to surprise him.
Piers is doing great at the auction thanks to the head of Cantor-Fitzgerald who bid $100,000 each for tea with the Duchess and a night with the Osbournes (band included). Ivanka won a dinner with Trace for $6,000. She's sweet on him. Simon Cowell (for Piers) bid $100,000 for a $10,000 shopping spree with Ivanka.
Piers won the auction, Trace won the ticket sales.
Any juice bar in Manhattan has wheatgrass juice. But I don't see Trace as a Manhattan juice bar kind of man.
Piers is the Celebrity Apprentice, not due to his personality, but it's all about the numbers.
My latest feeds post is up over on TV Squad. The feeds just returned a few minutes ago -- blocked for the nominations ceremony. As expected, James and Joshuah are on the block.
A bit later I'll get a post up for the Celebrity Apprentice finale. I won't be live-blogging the two hour show, but will post updates and I know you want to talk about it in comments!
No Survivor tonight due to basketball and Lost is a repeat.
