The show has started here on the east coast. As it airs, I'll be constantly updating this post. Comments are definitely welcome!
So far Jen and Parker just went home again. Ryan and Amanda are upset, Allison is happy and they're trying to make it sound like she plans moves on Ryan. Matt wants to work people over so he can win the game.
Okay, it's to the HOH questions from the other day and Chelsia and James win HOH all over again. They're pleased with their shady qualities. Alex thinks it will be Amanda's fault if he goes on the block because of her attention-seeking ways. Natalie thinks she's safe. Allison thinks that Chelsia thinks she's a lesbian and is safe.
They decide they'll drink out of bowls since BB took their cups.
James gave Matt his word that he's safe.
Joshuah told Sharon that Sheila and Allison are lesbian lovers. She's shocked!
The HOH room was celebrated. I love the pic of Chelsia's cat! Once again James assured Matt and Natalie they were safe. Operation Condor is the move to eliminate all of the couples pictured on the top row of the Memory Wall. Alex and Amanda are the targets and they're looking for a pawn. Adam, Rayn and James are trying to figure the pawn.
Ah, BB is showing things out of time sequence. Before they didn't have drinking glasses and now in an apology segment between Amanda and Joshuah they have drinking glasses on the table. Amanda offers to ally with Josh.
Onto Natalie having butterflies in her tummy over Matt. She thinks it's a match made in heaven.She's topless in a bubblebath with visions of "Matty" in her head. He's oblivious to her. He tells her they can't have sex. So she decides he's mean to her.
Allison tells Sheila that they ought to confess about the lesbian lover lie to Joshuah. Sheila is worried that if they tell about the lie, they'll be targeted.
Food comp time! HOH couple can participate in the comp. Two teams SEAduction and DEVotion compete. There are boats and nets, but it all sticnks of dead fish floating in water around the boats. It's a bit like the Survivor challenge this week. Some hold the heavy net, others throw dead fish into the other side's net. When a team can't hold the net up anymore, they lose.
Ryan loves a dirty girl covered with fish guts and blood while Matt thinks it's disgusting. Adam, Sheila, Amanda, and Alex are on slop for the week. James and Chelsia are spared as they're HOH.
Bueno laughs as Amanda's key word is exposed.
James thinks he has feelings for Chelsia. The blurring of his tattoos on the show kind of messes up any scenes with him. Chelsia likes him but takes more of a "we;ll see" attitude ... until it comes to a kissfest, that is!
Allison and Sheila tell Chelsia about the lsebian lover lie. She tells them that she told James. Now they tell Josh. (And they're drinking from bowls again.) Joshuah is confused. He is uneasy.
Chelsia and Joshuah now think they're just liars. They bring James into it ... and now no one trusts them.
James is talking to Matt about being a pawn. Matt reminds him that he said he wouldn't put him up. James told him not to worry.
Nominations today, so we get the whole rules thing again. Amanda thinks that she and Alex are considered a threat. Natalie feels safe because James and Chelsia gave their word to not put them on the block. Adam and Sheila are worried. Alex is worried and blames it all on Amanda.
The key order is: Adam and Sheila, Joshuah and Sharon, and Ryan and Allison. Nominated for eviction are Matt/Natlaie (we need you to win POV, most strategic way to get a certain couple out) ... targets are Amanda and Alex. They say Amanda isn't trustful.
Matt says never to trust a guy with pink hair and, if he stays, he's gunning for them.
The power of veto wasn't used as we knew it wouldn't be. I'll be live-blogging tonight's show from here on the east coast.
Please stop back!
Ai-yai-yai, I am the margarita bandito
Despite the fact that the hamsters thought the margarita party would be Monday, it was actually tonight.
Here's what went down in that Big Brother House of Sombrero-Heads since I last wrote:
- Sheila claims she's been acting badly because she hasn't had enough sleep. Mind you, she takes (and begs for) Tylenol PM every night. I'm wondering if she's a person with sleeping problems supported by pills before moving into the house.
- Alex has some honor on a wall at Surf Taco in NJ for eating a 3-foot taco in under 15 minutes. I've never been to Surf Taco. I do (did?) have my name as a high scorer in a Pac-Woman video game in a bus terminal Pittsfield, MA, though.
- Alex can do nifty-keen cartoon voices.
- When they started talking about BB8 Jen-sa Mamber having a web site selling her shirts before CBS knew it, we got the fireplace.
- Margarita party!
- Pinatas with little prizes -- rings, lipsticks, fake tattoos, etc.
- Sombreros for all.
- Then came the nudity (covering my eyes). First Natalie was practically bottomless wearing a thong.
- They were told there's a time limit on the party. I find it interesting that the party had to end before the ShoToo BBAD show kicked in. I guess they don't want it to be on there. Hmmm.
- James walked around nude with a pinata covering his 'bidness.
- Natalie's boobs are so not real. And I don't think they need smiley face tattoos on them either.
- By 8:15 PM their time, the party was shut down and all the HG had to go to the yard, still sombrero'd, yet clothed.
- It hailed there. They found it exciting. I don't recall it ever hailing when I lived in Southern California.
- Matt and Natalie argued. He's mad because she told others he didn't want to have sex with her. Matt told her that she's just not his type -- he doesn't care for the outgoing, naked in public type. She cried. He apologized.
- Natalie later told Chelsia she was just mad, not crying. Sure.
- The girls talked about how Matt is playing all of them. (And he thinks he's Mr. Slick, eh?)
- Natalie confronted Matt about hitting on every girl in the house yet getting upset about her nudity. He told her he doesn't want the discussion in public. He said she's right about everything and he's sorry.
- Matt is now sure he's going home.
Maybe James and Chelsia will now have to have a reverse EPIC and RUTHLESS move and go back to the original target to shake things up!

Yes, it's another Zoetawny graphic for our nominated couples!
My latest feeds report is up over on TV Squad and I'll be posting more here late tonight.

Quick! Call the medics! Have the guys in the little white coats respond to the Big Brother house immediately!
Send therapists! Send psychiatrists! Send people with sharp needles and straight jackets!
Oh, wait. It seems they'll only come for medical emergencies, not psychiatric ones. If they came for the latter we'd be down to a houseguest or two ... maybe.
Here's what happened after all of the excitement last night:
- Sharon told Matt and Natalie that they were the pawns. (Of course, the EPIC and RUTHLESS plan of James and Chelsia where they're going to vote them out includes leading Natalie and Matt on!)
- Sheila once again wants Tylenol PM -- probably her head wants to explode from screaming and ranting so much. She claims it's from all the snoring and BB won't even give her ear plugs.
- Joshuah and Ryan want Alex/Amanda and Adam/Sheila on the block next week (taking in the idea that Matt and Natalie go home this week).
- There was a brief gathering of all the HG in the Diary Room with the producer's voice saying that Amanda and Allison would return and they have the flowers requested by the HG for them.
- Natalie doesn't feel well. She has a horrible headache and no appetite.
- Amanda came back into the house first -- at about 10 PM their time.
- Amanda still isn't feeling well; Natalie feels sicker.
- Amanda said that she and Allison were in different rooms for treatment.
- Sheila continued to fuss and moan. She wants Joshuah to use the POV so she can be put on the block and go home.
- Sheila cried because she left her son to be in the house. (Shouldn't she thought of that before now?)
- Allison came back about 20 minutes after Amanda. It might not have been a peanut allergy -- she has to have more tests to see what caused the reaction although it was definitely an allergic reaction to something, not an illness.
- Matt doesn't want to share the bed with Natalie in case she's contagious.
- Sheila, Amanda, and Amanda all made up with each other. Sheila wants BB to change the slop back to PB&J -- she thinks it's why people are getting sick.
- James thinks Sheila is bipolar.
- Joshuah practiced his Veto speech -- "let the house decide."
- Ryan thinks Sheila is too touchy to talk anything about the game.
- James and Chelsia talked small talk getting to know each other even better.
- He didn't tell her about the gay porn appearances.
- James and Chelsia couldn't sleep for the longest time, but all are asleep as I get this posted.
