It's time to settle in with a nice hot cup of Irish coffee courtesy of graphic artist Zoetawny!
My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad and I'll be posting more later here.
I hope everyone had a good St. Patrick's Day.
No, I didn't have any green beer.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to all! No, I'm not Irish, but does that matter today? Zoetawny is Irish today too because she made this cute graphic for the day! I posted a lengthy report late last night, but here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Woeful Lasses and Laddies:
- Natalie fussed because "all I wanted was pizza and no one saved any for me."
- Sheila told Sharon and Joshuah that some people say she's mental. She claims that's good because people said that about Allison, too. She still goes on about how much she liked Allison.
- Sheila told Joshuah he's scary.
- Sheila talks too too much. Please make her stop. Maybe she'll lose her voice? Please?
- Again Matt repeated that Ryan is the nice guy and he's the [bleep]hole.
- Natalie worked more on Joshuah to get him to help save Matt, promising him three weeks of safety if he votes their way.
- Joshuah told Natalie that the three confirmed votes would have to go to James before he'd say anything.
- Natalie thinks that she has Adam, Sheila, and Sharon to save Matt.
- Natalie is wrong.
- Adam told Matt to stop whining about spending his birthday in sequester.
- Sheila told Ryan they have to flip the house again next week and James, Joshuah or Chelsia have to go.
- Matt told Natalie her campaigning is working against him.
- Sheila told Matt that whoever keeps him will be targeted with a vengeance.
- Joshuah has really jumped on the Chelsia/James train. He'll ride that one as long as he can.
- James and Chelsia talked about flipping the vote and keeping Matt, but decided he would come after them if they did. So, they're still on an evict Matt plan.
All are asleep as I get this posted.
It's getting a bit chilly in the house for Matt now that he's on the block, huh? He stays warm in a blanket as he and Ryan rehash all of their triumphs in the time of their defeat. And, we all know about the agony of defeat!
I wrote up the show review for JJ over at TV Squad once again. If you want to take a peek, here's the link to the review.
Here's what's gone down in that Big Brother House of Turned Tables since the POV meeting:
- Matt keeps fussing about how he'll spend Easter and his birthday in sequester. It turns out (if you believe him) that he's not interested in the big win -- he just thought he'd have his birthday on TV! Yeah, right.
- Matt cried. Real tears, even.
- Matt tried to wheel and deal with James for favor of his group. He promised to throw HOH comps, betray Natalie, anything!
- James told Matt that he'd have to work for the votes. In their discussion Matt convinced himself that all the evils done were done by Ryan, not by himself. (He doesn't take into consideration that a lot of what Ryan did was in conjunction with Matt but Matt wasn't in the position of power.)
- Matt thinks Ryan comes across to others as Mr. Nice.
- Natalie wants to win HOH and convince Adam to swing to their side.
- Matt campaigned to Joshuah and Sheila telling them how much worse Ryan was to others than he was. (How quickly the bros come apart, eh?)
- Joshuah told Ryan that he should be safe. Joshuah is thinking the vote will be 5-1 for Matt to go.
- Sheila asked Matt to sleep in her bedroom. No, not in a sexual way.
- Matt and Sheila talked forever with Matt trying to play her Mom side and the "I never betrayed you" bit. She doesn't seem to be buying what he's selling. If she is, she's making him sweat it.
- Natalie is running around saying she will win HOH next week and put James on the block. Sharon (and others) reported it back to James.
- Adam told Ryan he'd vote for him to stay.
- Shades of Jen, Matt claimed he wouldn't stay in sequester. We know how that worked out with Jen -- contracts, loss of stipend, lawsuit. People don't skip out on sequester.
- Matt cried some more.
- Sharon and Sheila agreed that if they take Matt out, Natalie will fall apart.
- Sheila said that Natalie is blaming her for her predicament. (It's always all about her, y'know!)
- Natalie told James she's going to backdoor him next week.
- James is shaking in his sneakers. (Okay, I made that up. He's not all that concerned.)
- Matt again worked on James, telling him how much he wanted his birthday on TV. @@
- Matt cried again.
- Ryan hasn't shed a tear.
- Matt begged.
- Matt worked on Sheila once again.
- Natalie ranted about James breaking his word to them.
- Matt worked on Adam who wouldn't tell him which way he plans to vote.
- Matt worked on Sharon who told him she wants to think about it for a day before she decides.
- Matt pleaded.
- Adam told Matt he has to work Sharon and Chelsia and if he can swing them over, he'll think about it. Matt told him they were leaning towards him. (Really? Perhaps towards him leaving!)
- Matt lamented losing his girlfriend to go on the show. (And not being able to spend his birthday on TV.)
- Matt was kind of funny whining about how he'd spend Easter alone in sequester hiding eggs and finding them himself.
- Sheila says she needs to win HOH. She's been manipulated in the game and that has to stop! @@
- Sheila thinks the Boys Club and Natalie were all playing her.
- Adam is just happy that Ryan and Matt are on the block instead of himself and Joshuah.
- Sheila told Adam he never gives anyone a straight answer. Well, duh. It keeps him in the game and off the block. I don't like Adam at all, but his game play is low-key and he skates along week to week never being the target. If he doesn't give a straight answer, he doesn't break his word either.
- James, Joshuah, and Sharon got yelled at by the BB voice for using hand signals instead of speaking.
- Sheila and Adam once again said they had each other's back. That's good because I don't think anyone else gives a darn about them except for their vote.
- Matt once again tried to work Joshuah. When Josh asked him what votes he has, Matt told him Sharon was "looking" like she was going to vote for him. Does Matt think that Sharon and Joshuah don't talk?
- Sheila and Natalie got into a minor catfight. Sheila said Matt is going to go home and Natalie says it's Sheila's fault.
- Then Sheila and Natalie turned their vitriol into a Joshuah bash ... not to his face, of course.
- Sharon thinks only she or Joshuah will do good things with the money. (Matt earlier said he wants to buy his mother a home as she lives in a small apartment.)
- Natalie said she thinks the editing of Sheila will portray her as crazy and mental. (Or was she talking about herself?)
- Natalie thinks Sharon has a crush on Matt. I think she's still thinking about that kiss.
- Natalie thinks they can change Joshuah's mind about the vote because he'll only have Sharon and Chelsia to protect him next week.
- Natalie is delusional.
- Matt stopped crying, but didn't stop campaigning.
- Natalie worked Adam to work Joshuah to work for Matt to stay. Adam hasn't committed -- why does she think he'll help her and her Mattie?
- Sheila told Sharon and Joshuah how hard Natalie was working on her to save Matt.
- Sharon said that Natalie offered her safety if she would be the 4th vote for Matt to stay.
- Sheila said she told Matt and Natalie they didn't have her vote. (Not quite true ... she just came across as reluctant from what I saw, never blatantly said no. I might have missed it, though.)
- Sheila asked Joshuah what his vote would be. He sidestepped the issue and said he would vote for what's best for the house (Matt out, I'm sure.)
That's about where we stand right now. BB gave them alcohol and they've gotten into a lot of small talk. Despite severely campaigning to stay, Matt has been talking cordially with Ryan. Ryan is just kind of mellow over the whole thing.
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!
