The show has started here on the East Coast. As it airs, this post will be constantly updated, so please refresh the page for the latest. As I'm typing it while watching TV, there will most likely be a typoo or two. Please forgive me!
As always, your comments make it all worthwhile!
Recap time ... James got evicted. Gee, I wonder if he'll come back?
"the last one remaining above their disco ball will win this competition," says ChenBot.
As they go for HOH, James is bitter about all the ones who voted him out. So, he really has only Chelsia on his side. Joshuah and Adam feel bad about voting him out, Matt and Ryan are happy. Chelsia is really shook. Again with the recapping, Julie tells James three voted the mystery guest, five voted for him.
Back to the comp, maybe we'll see the bits left out on the feeds. Matt implies that he voted James back in, but didn't outright say he voted for him.
Adam is out of the comp first blaming his "fat ass." Eep, Joshuah just went down. He tells us the comp isn't meant for him. Matt's ankles hurt and he says he might jump down. But then it looked to me like he more lost it than a deliberate jump although he would have jumped before long I'm sure. Sheila's arms are getting tired. "Can't we all get along?" Natalie asks.
Sheila tells James that she wanted Alex to come back and voted in hopes he would. He thanks her for being honest. Now Sheila feels sick ... she's down! She said she hadn't eaten. Matt says Natalie must win because the remaining three would put him on the block. That would be James, Sharon, and Chelsia.
Matt told Sheila to pray Natalie stays up there and snaps at Natalie to stay up. Natalie feels the pressure. Joshuah asked her what kind of deal it would take for her to drop. Matt yells at her to stay up. Ryan told Matt he should come over and cheer her on. Natalie won't shut up! Matt said he can't stand her voice. He tells her he MIGHT give her a massage.
Sharon's down, thanks to Chatty Natty Matt says. Nat tells us in a DR session she knew she had to win to make sure she and Matt were safe. Natalie tells Chelsia and James that they're not her target. She says she knows James wants his dignity back. Matt asked how it felt to be backdoored. "Wonderful, I'll have to do it to some of you guys," says James.
James looks tired, then Chelsia FELL. Now James is more worried. He says in a DR session he'd have to be struck by lightning to fall. Down to James and Natalie, he's definitely looking in worse shape. He wants to play Let's Make a Deal ... he wants Ryan on the block for what he did to him. Ryan is thumping that stupide star which annoyed me in the feeds. Ryan is mad, Matt doesn't want her to take it although she seemed like she might be willing.
Here comes the end ... Matt is telling her no deals. She says she's feeling sick. James promises she and Matt won't go on the block. Chelsia tells Matt he should be thankful. James says again he won't put Matt up, she says deal and goes down. James is the new HOH!
"I'll stick to my word just like everyone else in this house," says James to Matt. AHA. I didn't hear that on the feeds!
Matt is proud of Natalie and impressed. She tells him she's sorry. How pathetic is that?
Matt tells Natalie again she'll get her massage. Matt says she was like Jesus up there dying for him. Chelsia and James are still a happy couple. Sharon and Joshuah talk -- he doesn't think that James will put him up, but he worries. Sharon is a bit uneasy, too.
Ryan asked Nat why she voted him back, she said she was worried Allison would come back. She said she didn't know what to do. Ryan says now that they're in power, they'll throw one of them (Boys Club) out.
Bible Buddies? Matt, Adam, and Ryan discussing the Bible. Adam's hand is going in his pants until he rolls over. It's an interpretation of the Bible unlike any I've heard before. "Jacob is a big ass dude."
Time for the HOH room! They all go. Photos of his friends. Chelsia is happy for him. Short HOH segment.
Time for the massage -- I love you, but not like that ... in a different way. "I'm not touching any boobies, though. Flip them in because they're haning out." She tells Matt he has to convince James he voted to keep him so he wouldn't gun for him. Joshuah thinks the thrid vote was either Matt or Adam. He's going to solve the mystery. Adam tells Joshuah he voted to take him back. Matt is acting confused when Adam says he voted for him to come back. He's not a good actor. Adam thinks James needs to know he voted to have him come back in, so tells him. Adam is worried he might be a target and he is telling the truth.
Joshuah is housekeeping with a feather duster and says he's like a gay French maid. It gives him a chance to throw dust on the beds of people he doesn't like. He reads his letter from home and we're more in the past again. This is week old fodder! He cries. His family loves and supports him. Aw, they clap for him after he read it aloud. He cries in the DR.
Ryan goes to talk to James. He knows he's after him and reminds him that he too was evicted. James called him on the lies and asked him why he put him up. Ryan starts to say it's the house, then changes his tune. He says he's not responsible for Matt's mouth. James tells us that Ryan is getting nominated because he was screwed by everyone else in the house except Chelsia. "Get ready for an intense week," he tells Ryan.
Nominations are in the air. Ryan is sure he'll put him on the block. Adam is ansty and hopes James believes he voted him back in. Matt feels safe, but doesn't really trust a kid with pink hair. James still only trusts Chelsia, mistakenly they brought me back in the game he says.
Time for noms -- James false prestenses and lies are the reasons behind his vote. Key order -- Natalie, Matt, Sharon, Chelsia, Joshuah, Adam.
Sheial and Ryan are on the block, both look not surprised. He tells Sheila that he nominated her because she gave him her word and didn't keep it. Ryan is on the block because he backdoored him.
Ryan says he's the king of the block, third time up. Matt says he owes Natalie big time. Sheila is all big talk, not gonna cry boohoohoo -- but she surely cries enough all the time over other things!
James did it. He put Matt on the block. Natalie is in tears. Joshuah is telling her it's a house divided, last week her side had power, now the power has changed. James did NOT take Ryan off the block, it's Sheila who got the reprieve.
Ryan and Matt are on the block. One will go home.
I have more on the after-POV meeting up over on TV Squad!
Thanks to commenter Joy for the suggestion, graphic artist Zoetawny created a Gnatalie graphic just for us! She is sort of like a gnat or a mosquito constantly buzzing about, isn't she? Thanks, Zoetawny! I love it!
It's a quiet Sunday morning here. I've watched Sunday Morning on CBS and now I'm listening to the Sinatra station on AOL Radio while the houseguests sleep out there in California. It's just a peaceful mellow kind of morning, but I'm sure those silly hamsters will do something to liven things up, right? When they played "That's Why the Lady is a Tramp," I thought of Natalie. I know. I'm a bad person. ;-)
Here's what has happened in the Big Brother House of Flipflopping Floozies and Fickle Minds:
- Natalie plucked Ryan's eyebrows. Never a dull moment in the house, huh?
- James really wants to get rid of Matt but says it will take "balls" and shake up the house. (I do want Matt out of there, but for integrity's sake I hope he doesn't backdoor him this week. I know it's a game, but he did give his word to Natalie.)
- James thinks that if Matt were to leave, Natalie would just go nuts. (How does that differ from how she is now?)
- James talked to Sharon about getting Matt out of the house this week. She told him she would be on board with the plan.
- James told Adam he wouldn't be going on the block. The plan to get rid of Matt is in motion it seems.
- Sharon told Joshuah of the Mattviction plan. Joshuah thinks it would be better to take Sheila off the block and pit Matt against Ryan. Otherwise, he seems to like the idea.
- Adam told James he's on his side and feels very bad about voting him out, was thrilled he could help vote him back in. (Yes, he was in the DR vote. If James could see his reaction, he'd be tickled pinker than that pink shirt he wears so much!)
- James told Adam that he'll have to break the news to Natalie if he decides that's what he has to do.
- James, now seeming to trust Adam, told him that Matt and Natalie were behind him not trusting him in the first place.
- Matt wants to hook up with Jen from BB8. @@ A match made in hell, I say!
- Adam continues to put his hand down his pants. I've never seen an adult man do that so much. At least Michael Jackson, ball players, and gangsta rappers go for the outside of their pants!
- When Natalie asked Adam if he knows if James will keep the noms the same, he said he didn't know.
- Ryan asked James if he still intends to take him off the block. James told him it should be a go.
- Sheila thinks Adam should be on the block instead of her.
- Sheila wants America to decide the winner this season. (AS IF she would have a shot!) Natalie wants a jury.
- Natalie told Joshuah that Matt is nervous about the possibility James will put him on the block, but she thinks James will stick to his word. (I guess he probably won't!)
- Natalie is sure Sheila will be going home this week.
- Natalie feels perfectly safe this week. (And, she should. She is. She's pretty much nothing without her Mattie.)
- They played hide 'n seek. Natalie hid and they didn't go looking for her. Heehee!
- Joshuah called the boys heartless and got the search on for her again. Grr.
That's it for now. The POV meeting should be later today. It promises to be interesting!
I've been waiting for a few hours for my latest feeds post to go up on TV Squad.(sigh)The biggest news is that now James intends to use the POV to remove Ryan from the block, replacing him with Adam.
Sheila rants at Ryan and the "Boys Club."
Here's the latest from that Big Brother House of Mad White Women:
- James told Sheila that she's not the person he's after. He said if the vote is a tie, he'll vote Ryan out. (Hmm ... his grudge against Ryan must be stronger than I thought.)
- He also said he won't be changing the nominations with his power of veto.
- James asked Sheila why everyone protects Matt. Sheila said she didn't know it was as bad as it is until Natalie stayed in the HOH comp so long for him.
- Sheila told James that she protected Matt because he saved her. She can't depend on Adam to protect her because he flip-flops. James said he saved her from something started by his boy Ryan.
- Sheila told James how much her son is like him. (Um, yeah. Sure.)
- James told her that he wouldn't have put up Adam if Ryan won POV. She said Matt knew she wouldn't be protecting him anymore. @@
- Natalie worked on Sharon to vote out Sheila instead of Ryan.
- Sheila told Adam he had to vote for her to stay.
- Matt was the first one out in the POV comp.
- Matt asked James if Ryan stays, will he still be gunning for him. James told him that it would be over, he wouldn't. (That's along the lines of what he said to Ryan just before nominations.)
- Sheila told Sharon that she (Sheila) "loves Allison to death." (I think that's murder!)
- Sheila also told Sharon that she needed a bit of separation from her teenage son right now, that's why she went into the house. (I could think of other things -- send him to summer camp and not make a fool of yourself to the world on Big Brother which will embarrass him!)
- Heh. The HG got a list of bad words they cannot say on the live show. Other seasons have had plenty of foul mouths but they behaved when they knew they were on live television. This is the first time they've ever received bribes and warnings to watch their mouths.
- Natalie thinks she will be THE celebrity of Oregon when she gets out of the house. Did you know Oregon is the Beaver State? ;-)
- Ryan told Sheila that he doesn't like that she's using the "Ryan won ten grand" card against him. Sheila claimed it just popped out to Natalie. @@
- Sheila went into a rant at Ryan like a woman possessed.
- Ryan told Sheila she's not the only one getting to know people in defense against her telling him how much time she's spent getting to know and befriend everyone in the house.
- Chelsia and Natalie talked about how manipulative Sheila is. They didn't say that to Sheila, of course.
- Chelsia is working on being nicer. She told Natalie that she was only mad at Matt because he kept treating her (Natalie) like crap.
- BB gave them wine and beer.
- Sheila kept saying to Ryan she wasn't going around talking about how she's a single mom and he took her ten grand. "Fine, let's squash it then," said Ryan.
- Ryan told Sheila and everyone that he isn't running around talking about her behind her back.
- Sheila railed at Adam and demanded to know why he isn't protecting her.
- Adam told her not to bring him into it and stop stereotyping him as one of the boys.
- Matt played the role of diplomat (no, really, he did) and squashed the verbal sparring, bringing up new topics less volatile.
- And it worked.
- They hope that big mallets in the yard mean that they'll have a luxury comp.
- Now Ryan, Joshuah, and Natalie are talking about Sheila behind her back.
- On another camera feed, Sheila is going on about how awful Adam is.
- Now the group is talking about pranking Sheila again tonight telling her the luxury comp is starting.
And the beat goes on ...
