BB9 -- Bulletin -- POV Winner

I believe we might be bidding adieu to James this week ... Ryan won the power of veto comp.

More soon.

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Friday Morning

It's a cold world in the Big Brother 9 house for James. Either that or he's gone into hiding.

Here are the late night and overnight events in that Big Brother House of Adam Did It:

• Sharon has a new furless fur-iend. She's adopted a slug in the backyard. A face only a mother could love.
• James told Sharon that he won't use the veto to save her if he wins it. That was part of his deal with Adam to not be nominated. Adam really doesn't want to have to put either Ryan or Natalie on the block in place of Sharon.
• Ryan is sure that James will use the veto to save Sharon and will betray Adam's trust.
• Sheila can't stop talking, but now at least it's a new subject -- Adam's betrayal.
• Ryan is like a broken record telling Adam he's ruined everything.
• Natalie is sure that James is gloating and is telling Sharon he'll save her with the veto. Wrong.
• Sheila says that James' inspirational speech is coming to fruition. If she wants to stay in the house she has to win a comp.
• Supposedly James was told he'd break a record if he wins the POV comp.
• Natalie said the POV had better be something biased towards her or her group. @@
• Natalie also says she'll DOR (voluntary leave) the game if James wins POV.
• I doubt she will.
• She thinks that BB is favoring James and it's time they favored her.
• Adam is still blaming the DR for changing his mind and going for the deal with James.
• Uh-oh. Not only did they not win beer and soda, but they also didn't get fruits and vegetables -- they have no treats for the guinea pigs! Ack!
• Natalie and James talked. He said he'd rather work with everyone than to have them against her. Natalie told him that if he doesn't use the veto to save Sharon she won't put him on the block if she wins HOH. (But can she be trusted?)
• Speaking of trust, when called on breaking his word to James, Ryan said he only shook hands on a deal because James cornered him.
• When alone and away from Ryan, Natalie and Adam talk -- they're still cool with each other.
• All are asleep as I get this posted.
  

Survivor Review, BB9 Feeds and Stuff

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.

BB9 - Nominations Bulletin

Adam nominated Sheila and Sharon on the block it seems. James has to win POV or he'll be backdoored.
