The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome!
Recap, recap and now Julie Chen is here wearing a simple black dress and high boots again. She's taking advantage of boot season this year! It must be all the snow in southern CA.
She tells us Matt is reduced to tears and is at the mercy of the house. Once again (second time in five minutes) we see Matt put on the block. Now back to James' promise. Matt is just sulking after the POV meeting. James once again says it's becasue Matt lied about being the third mystery vote. Natalie is crying. She thinks she did all that hanging on the disco ball for nothing.
Matt and James talk. James tells him that he's up because he's playing with Natalie. Bugs flying around them, Matt cries real tears. Ryan is Mr. Nice Guy according to Matt. Matt cries that he wants to give his mother a gift, then goes to cry to Natalie.
He wnts to be by himself and rues his crying in the Diary Room. Joshuah tells Ryan that he has his vote and probably Adam's too. Sheila tells Ryan she will keep him here -- "When I make a decision, it's a decision." We'll see.
Matt moans to Adam it will go 5-1 or 4-2 if he votes for him. Adam pep talked him to campaign for himself pointing out that he did nothing wrong. Should he play the sympathy card?
He works on Chelsia ... doesn't want to spend his birthday in sequester, never spent a birthday alone. He pulls the same on Sharon. No one falls for it as they tell us in DR segments, but they don't commit anything to him. He tells Sheila he has Adam's vote, pulls the birthday card. He's not understanding why no one will commit. (Maybe because they don't want to vote for him to stay.)
I think they all want him out because of the stupid clamdigger rolled-up pants he always wears. Matt keeps campaigning -- Ryan has crossed them, put James on the block, took money from Sheila, put Sheila and Chelsia on the block. Now Sheila might cahnge her mind. Matt begs while saying he doesn't want to beg.
Sheila goes to work on James. She pressures him to vote to keep Matt in the case of a tie. She points out that Matt has done nothing to any of them while Ryan has. James is nodding and agreeing, but isn't committing to save Matt. He knows that Sheila is manipulative. He just looks like he wants her to go far away.
James told us he wants them both gone and doesn't know. Evel dick will appear.
In DR sessions, Joshuah talks about trusting Ryan and how he should stay. Adam trusts Matt but Ryan's been his friend. Natalie trusts Matt and says he has to stay.
Julie checks in with everyone, mentions that James siad his word is all he has in the house. James said that Matt and Ryan earned it while Sheila didn't. Natalie said his word is nothing and he's a backstabbing hypocrite. She talks to them about the Bible Buddies and they're delighted.
Now she will show them who's in the Mystery Box and they find out it would have been Alex. four would have voted knowing it was Alex. Natalie and the previous three.
Dick and Daniele segment, six months on. They're still friendly. Dick is going to go meet Barry Manilow, a fan of BB. Who woulda thunk it? He took Daniele to Europe and she says their relationship is good right now. He also bought her a car. He thinks they wouldn't be talking if not for BB. Nick and Daniele are no longer dating, just not compatible. They both like that James is actually playing the game this season. They talk about Sheila and Natalie talking too much. Dick will return to the house next week to host a comp.
In DR, Chelsia wants Matt out. Sharon wants Ryan to stay in the house. Sheila doesn't want to vote for either one. She wants James to decide.
Talking to the nominees. Ryan says he's in a familiar position and running out of fresh material, wants to right what he's done wrong in the house, continue to play. Matt humbled and in on a crime last week, rectify what he's done, Ryan's a great man, tough choice.
Voting will begin, James will break a tie if needed.
The voting goes:
Chelsia votes to evict Mattie.
Joshuah is glad to evict Matt.
Sharon votes to evict Matt.
Natalie votes to Ryan.
Adam votes to evict Ryan.
Sheila votes to evict Ryan.
We have a tie. And, we're into commercial.
Julie tells the HG the votes are in, sound is cutting here. It's up to James to reveal his choice. He's putting on a worried look. He casts his vote to evict Matt. Matt tears up. Hugs, hugs. James gets a brief handshake instead of a hug. Natalie is crying, Ryan comforts her.
Matt is just about Julie Chen's height! Everyone is consoling Natalie. She rebuffs Chelsia's hug.
Matt admits being devastated and restates his position that he was wrongly confused. James is his "axe"nemesis in the house. True feelings toward Natalie, great friend rest of life, not the girl for him. Goodbye messages -- James talks about his attitude coming off crappy, Sheila said relationship with Nat ruined him, Ryan tightest bond, Natalie still thinks he might be her soulmate, (matt looks embarrassed). First member of the jury Julie tells him. "The dream's over."
Not too much time left for the HOH. Julie didn't even talk to James in HOH tonight -- probably because she thought he was offensive the last time and he put "crap" in his googby messge to Matt again this time.
HOH -- They have to answer questions about what others have said in the DR. No secrets will be given away. Joshuah and Chelsia will face off first. Evicted HG are the only answers. Chelsia wins the round. She chooses Natalie and Sheila to face off. Sheila is out. Natalie chooses Chelsia and Sharon to face off. Sharon eliminated. She chooses Adam and Natalie to face off. Natalie is eliminated. Adam chooses Ryan and Chelsia to face off. Ryan eliminated. It's between Adam and Chelsia.
ADAM is the new HOH. Amazing.
I was wrong -- Dick won't be hosting a comp, he'll be doing a wake-up call.
The show has started here on the east coast. I'll update this post as important events (immunity, boot, and such) happen.
My full show review will be posted over at TV Squad later tonight.
As always, comments are a joy! :-)
Malakal won reward, sending Jason to Exile Island. Tracy goes for Malakal, sacrificing a product laden spa day.
Krazy Kathy just quit the game -- too much stress on her.
Airai wins immunity. Gack.
Phew ... Ozzy didn't play the idol, but is safe again. Tracy was voted out. Only Tracy voted for Ozzy. For all her talk, Cirie targeted a fan.
My latest BB9 live feeds report is up over on TV Squad.
At 8 PM ET tonight, I'll put up an East Coast Updates post for Survivor. My full review of that show will be posted to TV Squad tonight -- most likely late because ...
... I'll be live blogging the live eviction show of Big Brother 9 as it airs here on the East Coast starting at 9 PM ET/PT.
Oh ... and I'll be recording American Idol and will get the boot up there somehow, too.
I will NOT be live blogging March Madness tomorrow night.
Dancing With the Stars has returned! It airs on ABC affiliates every Monday at 8 PM ET/PT with the results shows on Tuesdays at 9 PM ET/PT.
The official website for the show is located here.
I'm still not watching (forgive me!), but this post is a friendly place for all of the blog readers who do love the show to discuss it in the comment area. The previous discussion post for the show was here and will remain listed in the sidebar.
May it be a good season!
Graphic artist Zoetawny has it right -- they're ALL a bunch of clowns in the Big Brother 9 house!
Tonight's show will be delayed by an hour following Survivor. Don't forget! At least they didn't delay Survivor to some obscure hour in the middle of the night for March Madness.
It's a rainy day here and it's my day off, as well. I'm thinking, if y'all want, of putting up new DWTS and Bachelor discussion posts for the new seasons. Both shows sneaked up on me. Let me know!
What's been happening in the Big Brother House of Spies, Snakes, and Two Innocent Guinea Pigs?
- Sheila told Ryan he shouldn't trust Adam. (With all her wanting Adam to have her back, why does she bring him up at all?)
- Natalie told Chelsia that if they keep Matt, they (C&J) will be double-protected next week -- she and her Mattie. (I'm sure Matt would protect James as well as James protected Matt leading into this.)
- Matt told Sheila he hopes she will keep her (earlier) promise to him. She told him she'll do what she thinks is right for her.
- Sheila grilled Chelsia on why she'd vote Ryan out and what's up between her and James (the spy stuff with the fake breakup).
- Chelsia told Sheila she now thinks voting James back in wasn't her best move for her own game in the house.
- Sheila says Joshuah never attacked her because he's scared of her. @@
- Sheila told Chelsia that Joshuah is out of control. (Of course, Joshuah is totally in with Chelsia and James, as is Sharon.)
- At this point Chelsia can say anything about her three partners for the good of the espionage game. So, anything said by her has to be taken with that in consideration.
- Sheila complained about James calling her a shebot. She says his word is poo in the house.
- As Sheila bashed Josh to Chelsia then Natalie, another bash was going on. Adam, Joshuah, and James were bashing Sheila. Oh, the love in the house!
- Adam told them that he hasn't promised his vote to either.
- Adam also told them that Sheila thinks one of them made fun of her son. They said no one has made any comments about him. (They surely have enough ammunition just with Sheila!)
- James said that he mentioned in his HOH blog that he feels sorry for him, that's all.
- Adam told them that he's a free player, not a partner of Sheila.
- James pointed out that the best buds (Ryan and Matt) have been throwing each other under the bus for votes.
- Chelsia told Sheila that if she (Sheila) is on the block next week and hooks up with Adam, she'll vote for her to stay. EWWW and @@
- James and Adam guaranteed each other that to the end, they will be automatic votes for each other to stay (or win).
- Sheila kept going on her anti-Joshuah rant. He hasn't been HOH (neither has she), never been on the block, and how proud his mother must be of him, etc., etc.
- Joshuah claims he will make two girls cry Wednesday and his mom will be proud of him.
- Natalie thinks America hates Joshuah, but Adam thinks he's liked because Josh is always so long in the Diary Room.
- Natalie and Sheila think the show shrink should come to calm Joshuah down. (Heck, the shrink would have his hands full with Natalie and Sheila, too!)
- Matt told Joshuah he wanted a peaceful night because it could be his last night in the house. Joshuah said he was joking, only working the girls up.
- Natalie now trusts Chelsia, thinks she doesn't lie to her. Heh.
- Natalie thinks Joshuah is mad because he caught wind of Matt staying this week.
- Joshuah says that he's going to tell Sheila and Natalie to decide which is more important -- winning the HOH or him ripping apart their son/mother on live television. (I doubt he would do the latter -- I believe he's just talk, but we'll see tonight.)
- Matt thinks he's the King of Insults and that's why he was put on the show.
- Matt told Natalie and Sheila that he's sure Joshuah won't go off on them during the live show.
- Joshuah deliberately got Sheila going again (well, still going) by telling her to say hello to her son and leaving.
- Sharon told Joshuah to calm down and stop instigating Sheila and Natalie. It's too much.
- James thinks if he goes on the block with Joshuah next week, he (James) would be voted out.
- Sheila thanked James for taking her off the block. He told her it was gameplay, she shouldn't read too much into it.
- Joshuah thinks that Evel Dick wore down the competition before the final HOH and he will wear them down too.
- Sharon, Ryan, and Joshuah think Matt believes he's staying because he stopped moping around.
- Joshuah went from talking and taunting to staring down Sheila. She, of course, doesn't notice. If he speaks, she reacts.
- Joshuah claims he's not like this outside of the house -- he's actually quite nice to people. (Sure, blame the house!)
- Natalie told Adam that the votes for Matt to stay will be either 6-0 or 5-1. Suuure.
- Shades of Amber revisited, Natalie prayed to God for the good people to stay. @@
- Sheila thinks that BB won't air the really nasty things Joshuah says about her on TV. (BB is not airing a lot this season. I think this is the biggest chop job I've ever seen on a season after watching the feeds all the years.)
- Ryan thinks he's going to get more air time because he keeps picking his nose. (Now, there's good TV, right?)
- Matt is worried because James hasn't committed to him about breaking a tie in his favor.
- In case he goes, Matt gave Natalie the advice to work with James, target Joshuah, and Adam is always on the fence.
- James shaved his pubic hair and made it into a mustache. Eww.
They're all still asleep as I get this posted.
