BB9 Live Feeds Report

My latest feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I'll surely have more to say tonight. :-)

'Big Brother 9' - March 9 Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

The show has started here on the east coast. As it airs, I'll constantly be updating this entry. As it's written a bit off the cuff as I watch the show, please forgive any typos. I'm usually halfway decent as long as my fingers are on the right keys! ;-)

So far, we're just recapping and recapping. Joshua and Matt are both happy Allison is out of the house. Ryan thought the door not unlocking could be his saving grace. Natalie thought "oh snap, something's crazy." Now, after they already showed Ryan winning HOH, they're back to Allison and Ryan and the announcement that they're playing a singles game. Who does the sequencing on these recaps?

Now Allison is evicted for the second time in five minutes. Sheila cries.

Day 28 -- Joshuah is so happy he saw Allison evicted twice. Oh, gee ... now Ryan is winning HOH again ... for the second time in five minutes! Sheesh! MAtt justifies his vote. Joshuah is sure he's going to be a target this week. Sharon also thinks she'll be on the block with Joshuah.

Matt is telling Natalie she's out of the bed. She is acting stupid about him again. Matt is relieved, but feels he might have to play dead to get her away from him. She's sure he loves her.

James and Chelsia don't look too happy. They're upset that they're not a couple in the game anymore. James looks like a lost puppydog while Chelsia is already playing up to Ryan. Matt is snuggling at her as James looks more distressed. He looks like he's in shock or something. He tells us he really likes her, but doesn't know if she likes him or if it was gameplay.

Natalie looked into Joshuah in the bible -- "what goes into a man's mouth does not make him unclean, but what comes out does." She tells Adam. Joshuah is apologizing to God in the hot tub. Evil surrounds him, please please help me on my diet. Let me win the game, I will tithe 10% of my winnings to the church.

HOH room time -- Ryan misses Jen and wants a picture of her. Joshuah thinks nothing stands out about the family and Ryan's just a boring straight guy. Matt thinks his sister is hot. No mention of the pit bull pic!

Sheila's crying to Adam again. Allison was the one person she trusted and she won't be able to talk to anyone else. The game has gotten really scary for her. She feels lost. She's worried that everyone will turn on her. He tells us that it might bite her in the butt and he's played a sharp game.

James tells Chelsia he wants to stay with her. She doesn't know if the sleeping together is a good idea. She seems to be of mixed feelings, but trusts him. She says if she doesn't win, she wants him to win.

"We can only come out of this stronger," says James.

Sheila is thrilled to have her own bed -- Adam does not make for a peaceful sleep.

Matt apologized to Ryan for the vote and Ryan accepted it. Now Matt wants the fellows to join up and includes all of the guys except Joshuah in the plan. The Four Bros will weed out all the garbage out. James tells us the house changes every fifteen minutes and he probably won't join in with the bros.

It's to the guinea pigs, four colors and blocks in the cage. I like how Natalie's clothing is so short, they're blurring her butt. She thinks there are 27 letters in the alphabet -- "AND Z."

Time for the found comp -- Funtastics are red, Foodtastics are blue. Chocolate, slides, etc. Is everyone ready to get suaced. Slide into pool of chocolate, your fonduety is to retrieve letters to spell out foods. Losing team gets slop. Blue is James, Natalie, Matt, and Adam. Red is Sheila, Joshuah, Sharon, and Chelsia. Natalie was first on the board with sushi, Joshuah got meet, Matt got beef. Sheila is slow and Chelsia is yelling at her. Adam spelled yogurt. Natalie spelled fish. Joshuah spelled chicken. Blue team misplaced their chalk and got held back. Josh spelled beer. Adam got cheese. BUZZER.

Fontastics spelled 11 food items correctly. Wonderfuls have spelled 12 so they win -- Matt, Natalie, Adam, and James get their foods while the others go on slop.

Joshuah promises Ryan that if he gets HOH he'll never put him up. Ryan tells him he won't put him up.

Now we get a Ryan dancing scene. Matt got into it a bit as he passed through. That was cute.

James visits Ryan and Matt in the HOH room. James thinks Ryan should put up Sharon and Sheila. Now Adam shows up. What about Josh? James thinks if he doesn't go, he'll come back at him. Who else? James mentions Chelsia and Sharon, thinking it would throw them off that he's aligned with her.

Ryan is thinking two women would be the best way to go. The voting is still on for the return of a HG. The return will be on Wednesday.

Ryan is about to do the nominations. Sharon and Joshuah are worried. Josh is worried his deal won't last. Chelsia is worried even though she thinks James is with her. Sheila never feels safe.

Time for the ceremony. He loves everyone, but this is a game and his decision is based on strategy. The key order is Adam, Natalie, James, Matt, Sheila, Joshuah.

Sharon and Chelsia, nothing personal, hard decision, epic battle of the females for POV. Chelsia thinks James will have her back, James is worried that he might lose Chelsia. Sharon is ready to fight to win.

BB9 - Live Feeds - Veto Aftermath

I'll be live-blogging the show in a bit, have a live feeds post in pending over at TVS, but I have to talk a moment here!

I've had trouble with my BBReloader and filming videos this season. I filmed James throwing pickle juice on Natalie followed by Joshuah throwing water on her, but my codex was bad and it came out all stripey.

I fixed the codex and managed to get Matt lecturing Joshuah on how to treat a woman. @@ Crude language warning!


BB9 Live Feeds Update

The POV ceremony has been held. As expected, Chelsia removed herself from the block.

And ... up went James. Uh-oh, dissension in the house!

BB9 Live Feeds and Other Stuff


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.
