The Big Apple Circus is doing its annual visit to Bridgewater, NJ. No, I didn't take this shot today as it's horribly rainy and windy here. There are flood warnings for all of the major rivers and the ground was already saturated from heavy rains during the week. Yesterday I saw ducks (real ducks, like mallards) in puddles in parking lots because the river waters were rushing too much for them. I don't think I've ever seen ducks in large puddles before. And that was before today's torrential rains. There are a lot of trees coming down and a lot of power outages here in NJ. My power has flickered a few times, but hopefully will stay on. We NEED underground wires!
My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. It hasn't been a thrill a minute in the house today, but no major blow-outs either.
In comments MEB mentioned Randy Jackson's Best Dance Crew (MTV) and I second that it's very entertaining. You know me, I'm not into DWTS, but I enjoy So You Think You Can Dance. As I slept very oddly yesterday/last night, I was up at around 4 in the morning and happened upon two repeats of Dance Crew -- a hip-hop kind of episode and the Michael Jackson Thriller one. Wow! I love the group on skates because I used to skate dance! And, the other two groups I found the most entertaining were Kaba Modern and JabbaWockies. You can watch full episodes online although MTV does repeat them, too.
That's about all from here as I listen to the wind howl outside, fuss with my ear (the only remaining problem from the bout with the flu), and give my cat a treat or two ... or three. Remember to set your clocks ahead an hour tonight! Spring forward, fall back.
Oh, my. Graphic arteest Zoetawny gave Matt a bigger head than he already had. Who woulda thought it possible?
Remember, he thinks he's the new Evel Dick, the new PuppetMaster.
I think he's more like a mere Matt. His ego is what's going to cost him the game in the long run. It's one thing to lie so much, but making so many promises to everyone in a house in which they all talk about each other. Yeah, lying and backstabbing is a big part of the game. But you have to be sneaky. Matt isn't a good sneak, just a snake.
Here's what's happened in the Big Brother House of Changing Minds:
- When I last reported, Ryan had agreed that it would be a good time to backdoor Matt. But, like all decisions (except the Allison ouster) this season, that is subject to change on whim.
- Ryan kept trying to avoid Matt's questioning and Matt told him not to backdoor him.
- Matt also sucked up to Ryan going on about how happy he was that he (Ryan) won the $10,000.
- Sheila told Matt that she was worried she'd be put on the block when Chelsia used the veto to save herself.
- Sheila also voiced her worries to Adam, telling him Ryan is a flip-flopper.
- When she had been in the HOH room earlier, she had said she'd try to convince Adam that Matt must go.
- Then she pretty much repeated herself when talking to Sharon (who can't vote because she's on the block).
- Matt tried to get information out of Matt whether a deal has been made or not.
- Adam told Matt that Josh is a bigger threat in the house than he (Matt) is.
- Sheila told Natalie that the plan is to backdoor Matt. (Argh, Sheila ... we all know Natalie tells her Mattie everything!)
- Natalie told her she thinks Ryan isn't going to put up Matt -- that he's just playing them and plans to put Joshuah on the block.
- Next thing you know, Sheila is telling Ryan he should put Josh on the block and not Matt. @@
- Sheila told Ryan that she thinks if he puts Joshuah on the block, Sharon will ally with them (Adam, Sheila, Natalie, Matt, Ryan) and it will be James and Chelsia as outsiders.
- Joshuah got his letter from home. He's thrilled. He said he cried in the DR while reading it and "pulled an Amber."
- Joshuah had a major Matt bashing session.
- Sharon, like Adam, intends to read the whole bible before leaving the house.
- After declaring no more operations, Ryan asked Adam if he should do Operation Bummer -- nominated James because he bums cigarettes.
- Or, as they said, they could call it Operation Tighty for his "tighty whities."
- Matt apologized to Natalie for being mean to her. Again.
- Plans change once again (surprised?) -- Matt, Adam, and Ryan decide in the HOH room that they will be the final three.
- Sheila, not in the new loop, tells Joshuah that Ryan still intends to put Matt on the block and backdoor him.
- BB gave them beer. Woohoo.
- Joshuah is worried that he will look fat on television.
- Adam apparently doesn't worry at all as he still picks at his butt and nose, with the other hand down his crotch.
- Ryan treated the guinea pigs to a strawberry. They're still my favorites in the house and really don't get enough air time.
So, as they sleep, it now seems that Matt will not be going on the block and most likely Joshuah will. If Joshuah is up against Sharon, I think the house will vote him out.
But, then again, they might change their minds again today. This group is the most fickle and easily persuaded group I've ever seen in the house. If they had a Cirie in there, they'd be talked into volunteering to go on the block and get voted out.
My most recent feeds report has been posted at TV Squad.
But no one gave me a new motorcycle.
The Power of Veto comp is done and over with. Chelsia (who's on the block as a pawn against Sharon) won, so it's likely she will remove herself. At least, if she's smart, she will.
Here are other POV comp doings:
- Sheila has to wear a red unitard (like Jen last season?). I'm not sure of the time duration.
- Adam won a motorcycle.
- Sharon won a BB Slop pass.
- Supposedly, Ryan plans to put Matt up against Sharon.
- Joshuah got a letter from home.
- Chelsia turned down the motorcycle to win the POV.
- Ryan won $10,000.
I'm in the midst of witing a more thorough report for TVS, but wanted to get this up here!
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.
