Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Evening

Well, this is it. It's the final three and, gosh, they're boring. I wrote a full review of the show for TV Squad, but I'm not sure when it will go live.

Here are the happenings from inside that Big Brother House of The Excitement's All Gone:

• Sheila told Adam she'd campaign for him in the jury house. She doesn't seem to know that the last evicted usually doesn't make it to the jury house.
• They sat around rehashing and trashing all of the other houseguests.
• Sheila said she never was a part of Team Christ. Ryan and Adam think she was. Didn't they even know their own team?
• Whatever they did in Part 2 -- Sheila took 14 minutes and Adam took 3, so it wasn't even close.
• Adam thinks Sheila will go to a local hotel, not sequester.
• Adam told Sheila that he can't even let Ryan have a thought that he'd take her with him to the final two or Ryan would smoke him. Hmmm ... will he or won't he?
• Adam assured Ryan once again that he'll take him to the final two if he wins. Will he or won't he? Hmmm...
• Adam kept doing things to make the BB voice yell at him.
• Sheila says it's the most stress she's had in her life being in the house.
• She also said the DR wanted her to campaign, but she doesn't see what good it would do.
• She seems resigned to third place.
• But I think Adam may still be a wild card if he wins HOH.
  

Big Brother 9 4/22 Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be updating this entry as it airs. Please forgive typos and feel free to join in on the comments!

Julie Chen, al;beit taped. She has a little coral colored sweater set on, her hair is fluffy. We've gone through the initial recap, but first it's the power of veto and Sheila and Adam are locked together. B&W recap of the nominations once again.

Go to color and Sheila is overwhelmed, calls Ryan's speech lame. Sharon thinks her alliance with Ryan will save her. Adam is still a bit worried. Sheila cries, it's frickin painful. Sharon consoles her. Sharon tells us her goal is to be final three with Ryan and Sheila. Sheila tells Sharon the guys control the game and it's us against them. She doesn't trust them. Sharon assures her she will make sure they're the final three -- she doesn't trust Adam.

Ryan thinks that either Adam or Sharon will take him to the final two. Adam says he'll do or say whatever it takes to get him to the final two (in a diary room segment).

Sharon and Ryan talk, Ryan wants her safe. She tells him she wants Adam out. Sheila questions Adam if she can trust him. Adam sidesteps a bit about committing to saving her with the POV. Adam tells her that he's still at risk. Sheila tells him his decisions have sometimes pissed her off. He's going to have to get his hands dirty.

It's time for Sheila and Adam to get chained together. She says he knows shackles too well and she'll never forgive Big Brother. Ryan thinks they're the most dysfunctional marriage you could ever imagine and says it's priceless.

Final POV comp. It's night. Adam and Sheila are shackled. Sheila wakes up and notices Sharon is missing -- they're scheming -- her and Ryan. Shraon is sure that Adam has to go. She wants final two with Ryan. Sheila, meanwhile, tells Adam she and he are the most deserving of final two. Sharon tells Ryan it's do or die.

Sheila and Adam are about to get the shackles off and rejoice.

Time for POV -- four quandrants cordoned off, hourses with jockeys without head. They have to put faces of jusry members and two clues in the order of eviction. One horse at a time. More clues than they need, some have no match. First one to get all five horses in order wins.

"Personally I want to win this veto because I want to be a power whore," says Ryan. All the others want to win for themselves. Sharon doesn't want Adam to win. Ryan is leading. Ryan wins.

"I don't know where that leaves Sheila," says Sheila over Ryan's win. Sharon wants Ryan to take her off the block. Ryan says he controls everybody's fate at this point.

Back to taped Julie ... she tells us that if the noms remain the same, it will be Adam casting the sole vote for eviction. Duh, I say. Ry and Adam talk. Adam tells him that he'll do whatever. Ryan brags he could make one move and boot him. Adams promises. Ryan powertrips.

Adam calls Sharon dude as he tells her he doesn't know what to do. He promises her he'd keep her if she takes him to the final two. It dawns on Adam that she might have something going with Ryan.

Sharon runs to Ryan, of course. Sharon tells him Adam is going to take Sheila. She doesn't trust him. He has no loyalty to anybody. Now Ryan doesn't trust Adam. Sheila tells Adam that she has his back and if she wins, they're final two. She says if Sharon stays, she'll go to final two with Ryan. She cries and repeats she's had his back.

Ryan accuses Adam of trying to cut deals. He pretty much denies it. Ryan denies that he and Sharon have anything going on. Ryan tells him that he might be able to trust Sharon more than Adam. Adam vehemently denies everything and says he will vote Sheila out.

Julie talks to them. She wonders if holding all the power could come back to haunt him. He's not worried. Sharon is the first HG in BB history to be nominated for eviction five times in a row. She thinks by the grace of God she's still here. Sheila, re: Shackled: Singles day best day in the house, thought of shackles made her want to run out the door. Adam says he accepts her the way she is.

Veto meeting and eviction next.

Veto meeting in front of Julie (on the screen for them). Ryan says he has no reason to change his nominations and doesn't use the POV. It's down to Sheila and Sharon. Sharon says loves to stay, amazing time, same speech as each week. Sheila says she wants to stay, but will take something from Sharon ... if God's will, she will says goodbye. She cries and hugs Sharon.

Adam says not an easy decision, evicting Sharon, his voice cracks. Sheila cries more than Sharon. Adam cries. Sharon leaves well. Ryan's first words get bleeped, but he isn't upset. Sheila just keeps crying. She thought she was going. They're changing for HOH comp.

Talk with Julie -- Sharon says she's shocked, but not really. It's just a game. She thinks Ryan had more faith in Adam. She's not mad. She thinks Adam and Sheila will stick together at the end. Six nominations, not five.

Goodbye messages -- Adam loves her, likes, her, Sheila's his partner. Ryan doesn't understand why, breath of fresh air, did not plan this, not his doing. Sheila teary, really good person, will be a good wife and mother.

Future for her and Jacob? They have a lot going on, would like to try. You take the good and bad, put them all together.

Final HOH Part 1: Julie explains because it's the final one, Ryan HOH can compte. Sound cut out as she explained the rules here. The yard has a pond in it and what looks like boogie boards on a level water slide. They are Up a Creek. They strap themselves in, must have rope in hand at all times, let go, out. It's like a ski rope. The river is starting to rise and the platform is tilting.

Sheila is getting cold but smiling. Adam and Ryan are doing well. Ryan says it's better than sweating in a box. Julie says the voyage is about to get choppy and they have a rough night ahead of them. (This is what took BB two days to build in the backyard.)

Adam calls Julie BABE. She tells them they never know what Mother Nature has in store. It starts raining and they don't give us the end.

BB9 Live Feeds ...

The feeds just came back on. It sounds like Adam won the comp part with Sheila today. It was something to do with swimming. Ryan and Adam will face off live in the third part tomorrow night on the show.

BB9 Live Feeds Not Much of an Update

I know I haven't posted since this morning, but not much has happened. Ryan and Adam are gloating because they're sure they'll be the final two. Sheila knows they're planning to win, not sure if the idea will increase her performance on today's part two of the HOH. Ryan and Adam even came up with a special winning handshake. Sheila discussed the possibility of Adam, her, Ryan and Jen getting together to do something for autistic children.

Then it went into a feeds block more than a few hours ago.

Shh ... BB9 Three are Sleeping

After I wrote my last report here, I stayed up (with the feeds on) and wrote up the report for TV Squad, complete with a gallery of screen caps. That went up sometime ago, but then I was asleep. I slept until past 10. Yikes, I haven't slept that late in a few years!

At least the houseguests were going to sleep as I headed to bed and they're still asleep.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Bulletin

Big She is in da house. And, who isn't?

After being blocked for hours, the feeds returned about ten minutes ago. Sharon is missing. It's just Ryan, Adam, and Sheila.

Here's the skinny:

• Sheila is shocked that Adam voted to keep her, so Ryan must have left the nominations the same.
• Before the feeds were blocked (around 9 PM ET), Adam and Ryan shook hands on keeping Sheila.
• They have arts and crafts.
• Sheila apologized to Adam for treating him badly.
• Rooms have been closed off. The guys are in the pink room. I think Sheila is in the boat room.
• Ryan won the first part of HOH. Sheila and Adam vie against each other tomorrow.
  
• Lots of small talk right now, so I'll get this up.
  

Latest BB9 Live Feeds

My latest live feeds report is up on TV Squad. It was a horribly boring day until about a half hour ago.

Off Topic Stuff

Since the BB9 houseguests are being so boring as they wait around inside the house for the POV meeting and the HOH comp ... and eviction? -- I'm posting some photos.

It's finally spring here in New Jersey!

A starling (or maybe a grackle?) on a wire enjoying the sunshine.

It's a daffodil, but surely not yellow!

Looking out my living room window at a squirrel in the tree. You see, I can keep myself occupied!

My remaining cat really doesn't like the camera.

BB9 - Review Post up on TV Squad, Houseguests Up

My review of last night's show (watched at a horrible hour here in the NYC area) is up over on TV Squad.

The houseguests are getting up in the house. Sharon and Sheila are in the bathroom and during short feeds blocks, BB must be trying to get Ryan and Adam up.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Into Monday Morning

Adam and Ryan talking about voting out Sheila last night.

Yesterday was an odd day in the house. The hamsters were locked inside all day due to HOH construction in the yard. The one event usually held on Sunday -- the POV meeting -- wasn't held. And, they found that there will be a HOH comp today (Monday). They keep calling it live, but it will only be live to them. It will show taped on Tuesday's show. It will most likely be blocked from the feeds, but we'll see.

Here's the excitement from the late night and overnight hours in the Big Brother House of Beebies Love:

• During a feeds block, the HG received Chinese food.
  
• Since BB called them each into the Diary Room to tell them that the guinea pigs are the remaining preexisting relationship, that was a topic of discussion.
• They taped their goodbye messages for Adam, Sharon, and Sheila yesterday as Ryan has not yet either used or not used the veto. All three had to pack just in case.
• But it seems Sheila is the one with a ticket to ride ... right on out the door.
• They know BB is speeding things up, but aren't sure how many days they have. From what they're saying it sounds like they think the finale is next Tuesday or Wednesday when it's indeed this coming Sunday.
• Sharon told Adam she's sure Ryan won't be using the veto and putting him on the block.
• They discovered a place where Matt carved his name in the rail. I wonder if BB will deduct from his stipend for the damages?
• Ryan and Adam teased both Sharon and Sheila saying they both had crushes on Alex.
• They all think Sharon should have gotten the HOH question right because the guinea pigs are her fur-iends, her beebies.
• Adam said he had a meltdown over his cigarettes. He had a secret stash hidden and it's gone.
• Sheila told Adam he probably still has his cigarettes somewhere and will probably find them when he packs.
• Whatever the Diary Room was doing late last night when they called the HG in one by one was fun according to Sharon. That's all we got before the BB voice admonished her -- "Sharon, you are not allowed to discuss your Diary Room sessions with other houseguests!"
• Ryan once again told Adam he has to vote "Big She" out. Adam agreed to do so.
• Ryan thinks that Sheila's an idiot because she's not sucking up to Adam for the vote. Adam thinks it's easier that she's not.
• Adam is worried that Sharon might beat them in the HOH comp. Ryan is sure she won't.
• I'd like to see her beat Ryan just because he's so darn smug about how great he'll do!
• The guys practiced hanging by their arms from the staircase just in case the HOH comp had them hanging from their arms. @@
• They all headed to bed, but Adam and Ryan got up and snacked again before returning to their beds with visions of HOH wins in the heads.
  

BB9 Live Feeds Update

I took this screen cap before a feeds block. I thought it might be the POV meeting, but it returned to the HG eating dinner. BB told them the preexisting relationship was that the guinea pigs are sisters.

It looks pretty definite that Ryan will keep the noms the same and Adam will vote Sheila out. Adam and Ryan had a blow-up, but they're buddies once again. It sounds like all the real action will probably go down tomorrow.

Big Brother 9 - 4/20 Show NOT Live Blogged from the East Coast

ARGH. The Pope leaving the city is on. They will rejoin the show already in progress and re-air it in its entirety at 11:30 No live blog here tonight and I have a cry for help out on TV Squad for my review tonight, too. I turned off word verification for now as reports from others are coming in.

It's 8:38 PM and the Pope isn't on the plane yet. CBS2 must think everyone is Catholic or something. I'm not happy here, but I thank those who have been updating the show in comments.

8:43 PM -- It just came on here. Thanks a lot CBS 2. I'm not Catholic and didn't want or need that coverage. They should have showed it online on their site.

The luxury comp movie is over and yan is telling Sheila she will be fine. She just has to win POV. She knows he (Adam) kept Natalie. Sheila knows Ryan is putting her on the block. She doesn't trust either Adam or Ryan.

Sharon thinks Adam needs to go on the block. Ryan doesn't want it to look suspicious. Sheaon still wants herself and Ryan in the final two.

Nominations -- Adam is safe. Ryan says his nominations aren't anything against the ladies, he just has Adam's support from last week, Adam nods.

Sharon has faith in herself and her partner Ryan. Adam is worried. He doesn't want Sharon to win POV. Sheila isn't only on the block, but shacked with Adam.

BB9 Live Feeds and Show - Uh-oh!

As Adam picks his nose, my latest live feeds post is in Pending over at TV Squad. I'm not sure when it will go live.

The big news is that they've been on indoor lockdown all day as a "monster HOH comp" is being built in the yard. Adam, Sheila, and Sharon have been told to pack their bags. There's an eviction tomorrow. Sheila is upset as is Sharon -- they both thought they had more time.

The UH-OH in the header is about ME. (Yeah, it's all about me, you know.) Although 60 Minutes started on time, the local CBS affiliate is expected to air the Pope leaving the city and some ceremony. It's been Pope Central on television in this area. He's supposed to leave around 8 PM. Sigh. I'm not sure whether they'll delay the show, totally not show it or what. I guess I'll keep you up on it when I hear how they'll handle it.

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Sunday Morning

Yo, yo, yo ... check it out, dawgs. I think I've been watching too much Randy Jackson on American Idol, eh? Last night (and the Saturday before) I watched Groomer Has It on Animal Planet. And now today, I'm posting Zoetawny's graphic of the BB9 houseguests as the dogs they might be. (Our apologies to the good dogs of the world.)

If I don't get off this dog kick, my cat is going to need a little cat psychiatrist. She's going to have a complex. But, she should feel better that no cats were harmed or mocked in the production of this blog. It's a dogs world for the houseguests!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of When Good Dogs Go Bad:

• As I mentioned in my last update (over on TVS), they napped a lot. They have been napping more than is good for man or dog.
• Sheila played with the oversized golf stuff all alone because the rest were napping. Maybe they're just avoiding her.
• Sheila took a sauna alone and then painted one of the Easter craft things they had.
• All alone.
• At least she doesn't keep talking when alone although I enjoyed Evel Dick talking to the cameras when he was alone. I just don't want to hear Sheila's voice and all she'd do is complain, whine, and fuss anyway.
• Sheila cleaned the cabinets. (Okay, I guess she can come over here if she wants to clean stuff. I could use a hand. She'd have to be muzzled, though.)
• Adam reported to Ryan that the girls are both telling him all kinds of "crap."
• Adam and Ryan played with the golf stuff.
• Adam told Ryan about different scenarios Sharon is coming up with the jury votes.
• Ryan told Adam that Sharon hung out with the wrong group too long and she's wrong, too.
• They think that all Sharon has is a guaranteed three votes -- James, Joshuah, and Chelsia.
• Sheila has been trying to use those three votes as a reason for Sharon to go this week.
• Adam is down to two cigarettes left.
• Sheila thinks she deserves to win. After all, she's not a gold-digger! (This coming from someone who lived in a big shot's mansion for a few years.)
• Sheila seems envious that Sharon will go to a spa, on a shopping spree, and to a movie premiere. Apparently since she won all of that, she doesn't need to win the game, right?
• Sheila and Sharon think they've both been the last to know anything and everything in the house throughout the season.
• Ryan ran laps around the yard. I'm surprised the BB voice didn't remind him how many laps it takes to make up a mile. No, they never say that when it's useful!
  
• Sheila went on an anti-Natalie rant saying that Natalie grew mean towards her after Matt was evicted.
• Both Adam and Ryan want to avoid talking game with Sheila.
• Sheila and Sharon once again tried to figure out the third pre-existing couple.
• They have all forgotten about the Hudson River Virus (or whatever it was!).
• Sharon and Sheila don't think they can win against the boys. They believe that whoever leaves this week will see the other seven days later.
• They're wrong.
• Oh, not about not winning ... just about the length of time between when they lose.
• All are asleep as I get this posted.
  

BB9 Saturday Live Feeds

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. Unless you think Sheila talking a lot is exciting, it's been a fairly quiet day in the house.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Into Saturday Dawn

Since one of the commenters likened Natalie to a Pomeranian and she should hit sequester today, you know Zoetawny just had to do it! Heehee!

So, Ryan has the POV. With the nominations remaining the same, Ryan would want Sheila out and Adam's sole vote determines the final three. Ryan has been trying to get Adam to promise to evict Sheila. But will her? Or will Ryan use the POV himself to save Sharon. If he does that, Sharon is bound and determined to take Adam out. This should be interesting.

With all the excitement looming ahead, they're really not being too exciting in that Big Brother House of Dazed Dillydallyers:

• Sharon talked about Jacob. Yawn.
• They cooked dinner. Actually, this crew (when not on slop) is quite into cooking. I think BB should give the houseguests cookbooks in addition to the bible as reading material.
• Speaking of reading material, Sharon reached her goal and finished reading the bible in its entirety.
• Ryan and Adam think Sharon is still in love with Jacob although she says she's over him.
• Ryan told Adam he lied to him about the Matt and James votes, he needs him to be honest now. Sheila walked in, so they stopped talking.
• Adam later told Ryan to do what he has to do.
• Ryan said he needs to know if Adam has something going on (dealwise, not romance) with Sheila.
• Ryan told Adam that Sharon has been saying that Adam and Sheila are together in the game.
• Adam doesn't admit anything going on with Sheila and again tells Ryan to do whatever he feels he has to do.
• Adam told Ryan that neither Sheila or Sharon deserve to win. He and Ryan should be the final two.
  
• Adam said what he did for James came from the heart.
• The girls think the guys are in control of the game now. Neither is campaigning hard.
• Beavis and Butthead ... er, Ryan and Adam, seem to agree that Sheila will be evicted this week.
• Adam swore on his mother that he would vote to evict Sheila.
• They're all sleeping now.

With that said, this meeting is adjourned.

Beavis and Butthead rule the Big Brother 9 house for the week. And, as always, graphic artist Zoetawny rules the blog! Have a good day and I'll update things a bit later tonight.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds - POV Winner

Adam looks at the POV necklace hanging from ... RYAN's photo on the Memory Wall. Yep, you heard me.

Here's what's happened in the house since my earlier report on TV Squad:

• The Sheila and Adam Show continued with them bickering, him teasing her, her whining and complaining up until about 8:20 PM ET.
• The feeds were blocked for the POV comp from then until nearly 10 PM ET.
• And Ryan was wearing the necklace.
• Adam and Sheila were no longer shackled.
• The ants have returned in the kitchen.
• Ryan got worried that his fly was down during the POV. We'll have to look for that.
• There has been just about NO game talk since POV. Small talk, dinner prep, and that's about it.
  

BB9 - Adam and Sheila Shackled - Video

I'm working on the evening BB9 live feeds report for TV Squad. But until it's done and posted, I uploaded this clip to YouTube for your enjoyment.

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Friday Morning

Like sand through the hourglass, these are the happenings of the hamsters since my last report:

• When Sheila asked what Adam would do if he was on the block with Sharon, he told her he'd win the veto and take himself off.
• Ryan and Sharon finished watching the movie they won and came in from the backyard for an indoor lockdown while the staff dismantled the event.
• Apparently Sheila and Adam were granted a reprieve on being chained together for the duration of the movie.
• So, they're to be attached once again.
• Sharon said they aren't allowed to talk about the movie - What Happens in Vegas.
  
• There were two Mustangs in the backyard. No, not the horses. The movie had to have something to do with the cars, I'd guess.
  
• As for the movie, they commented it was good, Sheila would have enjoyed it.
• Sharon thinks Adam won't try hard to win POV since he's not on the block.
• The cuffs will come off of Sheila and Adam at 5 PM today (their time, PT)
• Sharon thinks Adam and Sheila had an alliance before coming here -- something about Sheila being on Craigslist and Adam being recruited by Robin (casting woman).
• Sharon is very worried. She thinks Adam must go. She told Ryan he HAS to win POV, take her off the block, and put Adam up so she can vote him out.
• Sharon thinks if Adam wins POV, she's history.
• Adam and Sheila aren't having the best of times trying to sleep while chained together.
• Ryan thinks the third relationship has to be Sheila and somebody else.
• Poor Adam. Sheila is talking non-stop about all kinds of things.
• As I get this posted, they're all sleeping, perhaps not the most restful sleep for Adam and Sheila.
  

Big Brother Live Feeds After Nominations

Adam listens to Sheila talk. And talk. And then talk some more. She wants his vote to stay. She feels he owes her the vote, I think.

Here are the evening happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Not So Lovable Louts and Layabouts:

• As you know, Ryan nominated Sheila and Sharon for eviction. He wants Sheila out and has told Adam so.
• After the nominations ceremony, Adam seems to want to vote out Sheila with no advice from Ryan. "After she did that to me ...!" I have no clue what that's about. It seems to be something which happened while the feeds were blocked.
• Sheila cried.
• Adam doesn't want to be chained to Sheila for 24 hours. What a shock!
• Ryan and Adam once again talked about how Sheila must leave this week.
• Ryan told Sharon they're getting rid of Sheila this week. She told him he ought to target Adam.
• Sharon said she wants to vote out Adam if she wins POV and takes herself off the block.
• Sheila said being chained to Adam is her punishment for voting Natalie out of the house.
• Adam thinks they have 13 days left in the house. He's wrong. It's ten.
• Sharon and Ryan want to be the final two.
• Just earlier Adam and Ryan wanted to be the final two.
• I want the guinea pigs to be the final two.
• The feeds were blocked for a while and when they returned, the chain was off of Adam and Sheila. Not a word why.
• Sheila cried some more.
• Adam told her he would vote to evict Sharon.
• Sheila said they're faking that they hate each other to fool Ryan because he can't be trusted.
• Sheila told Adam she loves and trusts him.
• Since Sharon and Ryan are watching the movie they won, it's been all Sheila and Adam.
• Adam listened at the door and almost in unison Sheila and the BB voice told him to "Stop that!"
• Adam told Sheila that he's going to tell Ryan whatever he wants to hear, but then he'll be voting to keep her in the house.
• Sheila needs some Tylenol PM. @@
• They're both boring and unchained with no explanation that I heard.
• Ryan and Sharon are still watching the movie.
• I'm outta here!
