Ryan and Natalie discuss Adam's rather shocking nominations in the BB9 house.
But first ... my Survivor review is up over on TV Squad. And a rather quickie feeds report will be up there soon.
And second ... I'm running a bit behind today because I had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon after a full day of working. Not good news, not bad news, just inevitable stuff. My knee surgery date is set for May 14th. He told me I will have to go to a rehab hospital (wah) So, I'll be totally out of commission for a couple weeks from mid-May until the beginning of June. BB should be well over by then, but I'm not sure of the Survivor finale. We'll see. Lots to do between now and then.
To the feeds, alas a bit abbreviated because I'm very beat:
- James thinks Ryan is intimidated by him. Sharon agreed with him. I just don't see it. Gamewise, maybe.
- They had a food comp -- they had to make mountains of mashed potatoes, then flow gravy down them to win various food groups.
- Adam cut his finger during the food comp.
- They all have real food for the week but missed out on soda and beer.
- James worked on Adam to not go on the block. He pointed out that he has never lied to Adam, nor has he done anything against him in the game.
- Natalie looked for signs from God.
- Ryan vehemently wants James out this week.
- The DR doesn't seem to go with that. Slips before they blocked had Adam saying that he felt pressured by the DR not to nominate James this week.
- Since nominations, Ryan has been at Adam telling him Sheila had his back, he had his back ... big guilt trip. He had Adam saying he really screwed up this week.
- But then when Adam talked to James and Sharon, he had a different attitude.
- Sheila is freaking. Too bad, so sad. Earlier in the day she said she promised Allison Grodner she's stop cussing. She blew that promise!
- Natalie, taking it the best of the three, told Adam he should just align with Sharon and James -- Ryan isn't about to forgive him.
- Sharon told James that Natalie said she'd keep her over Sheila. Hmmm.
Tomorrow, I'll be back in gear.
Adam nominated Sheila and Sharon on the block it seems. James has to win POV or he'll be backdoored.

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! :-)
Early immunity challenge with pizza and beer. One member from each tribe chosen by other tribe for individual immunity, off to Exile -- Ozzy and Alexis go.
Airai wins pizza, beer, immunity.
Ami was voted out. Erik lives on as the only fan in the tribe.

We may have seen Adam win the HOH, but he's not the HOH -- it's the Girls! Although he'll probably put Sharon on the block with James, Sharon isn't the target. Yeah, we know who's running the house this week.
Here are the late night tidbits from that Big Brother Little House of Horrors:
- Even Sharon is working at Adam, telling him that James would definitely have put him on the block had he won HOH. (Oh, but dear sweet Sharon wouldn't have nominated him, huh?)
- Adam's mother wrote that his dogs get excited when they hear his voice on TV. Aw.
- Sharon is trying to distance herself from Joshuah, saying she was sort of stuck with him due to the initial pairing and how he brought her back in the game.
- Adam and Natalie are sure BB has been pushing for James to stay.
- Natalie is a bit upset that Joshuah refused to hug her.
- Natalie told Sheila that since she and Adam voted James back in, it's their responsibility to get him out.
- Ryan agreed with Adam that James must go this week.
- Sheila is sure they showed James foaming at the mouth an inch from her face on TV. Well, not an inch really ... and technically no foam. But, yeah.
- James and Sharon had a good cry together (after she finished campaigning against him).
- James told Sharon he'd rather be winning POVs and saving himself than winning HOH and sending someone home.
- They all think there might be a luxury clothes comp this week.
- When Natalie, Ryan, and Adam started fussing how they think BB favors James, the feeds were blocked.
- When they returned, they were discussing Julie Chen.
- Everyone is in bed as I post this except for Adam ... he's roaming and snacking.
Adam and Natalie talk, soon to be joined by Sharon. She tells Adam she knows she'll be on the block with James and understands. Adam told her he can't put Sheila up because she'd freak out too much. "It's okay. I live on the block anyway," says Sharon.
Here's what's been happening:
- Sharon was initially very upset, saying that she hates being there, James will win POV and she'll go home.
- They can't believe James didn't win -- he's always going around counting everything in the house.
- I knew the windows answer because the BB voice has announced it before.
- James told Adam he wasn't mad at him, he's mad at himself.
- Natalie knew all of the answers, this would have been her comp to win had she not been forced to sit out as outgoing HOH.
- Sheila cried. She wanted to win.
- Natalie later told Adam that Sheila wasn't upset that he won, she was upset because she didn't. (Natalie made sense there. Uh-oh.)
- Sheila told Sharon the fake story Josh had told her about being really boyfriends with Neil and having an adopted son.
- Sheila believed the story and seems to have Sharon believing it, too. Joshuah lives on.
- Adam, Ryan, and Natalie all think Sharon threw the HOH comp. She missed a simple question they all got right.
- Sheila said she was going to miss Joshuah's dancing in the mornings.
- Sheila and Natalie heard James say something about the "nines" so they're sure Sharon told him.
- Sheila keeps having dreams about Evel Dick. She wants to go out with him after the season ends. (Run, Dick, run! Faster than the wind!)
- The HOH room was fun for all ... except James. Except Sheila because she wanted it.
- They could all eat again. Ryan overdid it and got sick.
- Natalie and Adam talked about how the money will just be rolling in after the season. Natalie says she'll sell her paintings online. (SEE! I told you!)
- Sharon told Natalie and Adam that James is freaking out and told her to beg they weren't both put on the block. She says he wants her to use the POV to save him if she gets it.
- Natalie thinks it's her responsibility to win POV while Adam would like to make a clean sweep -- HOH and POV.
- Sharon is really working her way more into the group while James is on his island. He is a rock, he is an island.
