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.
Okay, they didn't recap enough the other night -- we had to see Allison get evicted once again. Matt/Natalie woes, the four bros ... we've seen this all before. James doesn't want people to think he's aligned with Chelsia and Chelsia and Sharon are up on the block ... again. Gosh, I hate the recaps, but this one isn't as long as Sunday night was.
I spoke too soon, the nominations once again. The second time with the "epic battle of the females" bit. @@
Joshuah tells us he's only in for himself. James siad his move to get Chelsia on the block was strategically the only thing he could do. He is still with her.
Sharon tells Shila and Joshuah that the guys want to gang up on the women and get them out. Joshuah is a part of the girls group. Ryan is still working with Joshuah, but Josh will hang with the girls. Josh is worried that Ryan will tell Matt things. Josh, of course, wants Matt out. They be cool.
Chelsia tells James she doesn't trust people. James has her back ... he has her this week, she protects him next. Hug, snuggle.
Matt, Adam, Natalie, Ryan, James, and Sharon are grouped in the HOH thinking they're the winning alliance. Meanwhile girl talk has them all mad at Matt. Josh has an epiphany. He wants to get everyone to make a deal with her -- if she gets Matt out, she's safe for two weeks.
Matt has on his silly rolled-up clamdigger style pants, yet Joshuah is the gay guy! Natalie whines that he needs to treat her better. So, she spills the two weeks beans. Joshuah, Sharon, Sheila, and James she rats out to him. She tells him he can't say anything. He said he'll only tell Ryan.
Talking to Ryan, they will use Natalie to spy on the others. Matt says when he wins HOH, it will be a reign of terror.
Joshuah goes to Ryan with the two week deak for backdooring Matt. Ryan is playing along, but tells Josh that there was a leak of the plan -- Natalie told Matt. Ryan warns him he can't say anything in front of Natalie, especially about Matt. Sheila, Chelsia and Josh are lived.
Ryan lies to Matt, says that Joshuah is paranoid himself that he will be backdoored. Ryan is telling us he might have to think about backdooring Matt.
Time to choose partners for the veto cop. Three players will be chosen in addition to nominees and HOH. Ryan got houseguest choic, chooses Adam. Matt looks upset, but tells us that he wasn't too concerned. Josh tells us Adam is not on board with the plan to backdoor Matt. Sheila was chosen by Chelsia, Joshuah chosen by Sharon. Poor Nat never gets to play anything.
Major meeting with everyone but Adam, Natalie, Matt, and Sharon. The two week safety plan for backdooring Matt is in effect -- Ryan agrees to it.
Veto time -- everyone on board with the backdoor Matt planexcept Adam. A huge pool table, Matt is the host. The loser of each round is offered a prize, they pull the prize blindly, but can keep it or trade it for one already given. The Color of Veto is the name. Chelsia still wants to win because she doesn't trust anyone.
Sheila was out first and draws the veto, but someone can take it away from her. Sharon is out next, wins a motorcycle (which Chelsia really wants). Sharon trades the POV for the motorcycle which Sheila doesn't want. Joshuah is out, gets letter from home and keeps it. Adam is out and gets $10,000. He wants the motorcycle and tells us he gave it to Sheila because she's a single mother and she needs it more. She cries. Chelsia is out, wins a slop pass. She takes the veto from Sharon. Ryan is the last place finsiher, draws Jen's red unitard. He takes Sheila's ten grand and she gets the unitard. That wasn't too cool for Sheila.
So Chelsia wins the veto. Joshuah is sure the Backdoor Matt plan is still on. Matt tells us it just ain't gonna happen.
Sheila is very upset that Ryan took the cash. So she cries more to us. (It was a bit low of him especially when Adam said how much she needed it when he gave it to her.)
Chelsia and James are thrilled, snuggling. Sharon is worried, tells Joshuah, James and Chelsia. She goes in on the backdoor Matt plan. Ryan assures them he's going on with it.
Sheila has on the leotard. I think Jen looked better in it. She wears black bikini bottoms over it. She puts on a good face to all. Sharon even mentions how great it was of Adam to give her the money. Chelsia says no one in the game was selfish. Sheila mentions she could have used the money and she's a single mom. Chelsia ticked her off by telling her not to play the single mother card. Now Sheila has an enemy ... or Chelsia has an enemy, that is.
Sheila tells Adam that Joshuah, Chelsia, and James will send either her or him home. The seed is in her mind. She runs to Natalie and convinces her that after they get rid of Matt, they'll go after them -- Natalie, Sheila, Adam ... and Ryan.
She goes to Ryan who briefly apologizes after she said she wasn't mad. She warns him. She tells him Matt and Adam are the only ones who will stick with him. She convinces him that he can't backdoor Matt and she has his back.
Chelsia looks mad as she looks at the Memory Wall. She thinks matt is going to be nominated. Time for the veto meeting. Joshuah is so thrilled, thinks he's pulled off the biggest coup ever. Sharon tells her she deserved to win -- save herself. Chelsia does.
Ryan nominates ... very difficult decision, house diveided, he feels powerless, house wants one of his bros out, so ... JAMES. Matt smiles, Sharon looks stunned, Josh doesn't know what to think. Meeting adjourned. Matt rubs it all in to them and says it's on now, aims it at Joshuah. He's all struttin' and big and bad. Ryan thinks he's made a good decision. Josh thinks they won the battle, but he'll win the war. Sheila thinks that she's the mastermind and Chelsia will win her little buddy.
