I took this screencap late last night. As I post this, the houseguests are all asleep.
My latest feed report is up over on TV Squad. Please check it out and feel free to comment here or there or in both places! What a mess the show is already in, eh?
Oh, my. What a mess BB has on their hands! The feeds came on a bit after midnight ET and my head's still spinning.
Here's the skinny as I understand it:
- Sharon and Jacob are the first couple (already) voted out.
- The "secret" about Jen and Ryan being a couple is already blown.
- Parker and many are fighting and several want to go home.
- Several alliances were started in the beginning, it seems. Most are broken up now at Day 5.
- BB has given them wine and beer.
- Everyone's fighting.
- Jen whines too much.
- Amanda and Alex are the HoH couple.
I'll have a more in-depth report later, but that's the main skinny for now. This is the biggest brouhaha mess I've seen at the opening of the feeds. Yikes.
The guinea pig is ignoring his food. Yes, indeed. We have live guinea pig cam and the blaring theme music. The feeds SHOULD unblock (get off GP Cam) after the West Coast show airs.
Sorry. False alarm.
Never mind.
;-)
Well, here we go! It's AWN (as Monica Bailey would say).
I'll be updating this post continuously throughout the show as it airs here in the NYC area. Please refresh the page for the latest and you know I want to read what you have to say about the new hamsters and happenings in the comments!
51 cameras, 74 microphones. They're basically telling the basics of the game ... and into the new twist -- BB is playing matchmaker. What will happen when soulmates become teammates?
Julie says they're all single and they're all looking for love. Doing the "getting the keys" bit, Natalie loves bikinis and God. Chelsia is indeed tats. Hey, I said TATS, it's Natalie who's the other word!
So far there's no news we don't already know. The "ladies" (I might be using that term loosely) are getting lined up to go into the house ... they're in! They've discovered the guinea pigs. The bedrooms are locked. Uh-oh, what's up? I can guess! Reading all the love quotes plaques, they know something is up. Uh-oh, Sharon's EX is in the house (well, not yet ... just the women are in the house right now). Jacob is Sharon's recent ex. He cheated on her and they broke up.
Jen's boyfriend is in the house and they're keeping that a secret. So, Jen and Ryan are NOT to be matched up in the house. They will keep their dirty little secret and play dirty, eh?
The men are in and both Jacob and Sharon are far from happy.
Sitting on the couch, it seems that they might be starting to realize they're all single. Matt seems to be the biggeest womanizer type of the guys. Amanda has good gaydar she thinks. Allison had a gambling problem. Sheila spoke up and told her age. Matt thinks he could show her a thing or two. Alex didn't tell them he owned his company, just that he worked there -- shades of Kail! Ack!
The reveal is coming as Julie talks to the HG. Expect the unexpected. Each one of you has a perfect match sitting in the living room right now. She tells them they'll be playing the game partnered with their new soulmates. They look like they're in shock. Jen and Ryan are very worried about the plans they made before the twist was revealed.
The pairs:
Alex and Amanda
James and Chelsia
Natalie and Matt
Jen and Parker (uh-oh)
Joshuah and Neil
Jacob and Sharon (uh-oh!!!)
All the beds are taken, it's to sleeping bags ...
Ryan and Allison
Sheila and Adam -- she's SO not happy! Sharon is really ticked she was matched with Jacob. Adam keeps calling Sheila Mom. He is the creepiest of the guys as far as I'm concerned. Adam is so annoying! Argh, he needs to go ... too bad as I think Sheila would be fine left to her own devices.
We're in commercial break right now, but I have to say I see some interesting possibilities going on this season!
It's the first HoH competition ... one couple will win the sole power to evict another couple in a matter of hours. Matt thinks everyone will target him. Sharon is disgusted with Adam. This comp is called Falling For You -- one is suspended in the air, the other in the honeymoon bed below. Lower the one, grasp each other, back up in the air. Last couple intact is the first Power Couple.
Sheila wants out of it, she lets go. They hate being together and both seem willing to go home. Neil and Joshuah are out. Amanda and Alex are out of the running. Sharon and Jacob are out ... half are gone. Now they're offering cash pillows as extra bonuses -- $10,000 if they get a pillow AND win the comp itself.
Jen has a pillow! Allison and Ryan are now out due to Allison going for the pillow. Chelsia has a pillow! Oops ... Chelsia's down. Parker and Jen win after telling Matt and Natalie they're safe.
Parker's thinking Ryan and Allison but we know Jen's working with Ryan and Parker doesn't know that.
They'll reveal the evicted couple tomorrow night. The feeds should start tonight after the west coast airs and I'll be letting you know what's happening.
What did you think of the show?
I won't be blogging tonight's show as the second hour is reserved for the Big Brother 9 season premiere for me.
I will be recording the second hour and eventually get it watched. So far, it's different -- they can play instruments!
I thought I'd open up a discussion post for tonight's show in case you wanted to comment.
And, don't forget -- I'll be live-blogging the season premiere of Big Brother 9 starting at about 9 PM ET!
