Big Brother 9: 4/06 Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

As I await my most recent live feeds report to go up over on TV Squad, the show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome! A full review of the show will be posted late tonight on TV Squad. Since the entry in this blog is written as I watch television, please forgive any typos!

Oh, great. Blogger has put word verification on updating my entries. I'm not a happy person here.

We're in the recap phase and updates to the entry will be slower than usual. They're talking about Joshuah's eviction and his inspirational speech. James knows they're taking out the people closest to him.

Day 56 in the house, Sharon is crushed with Joshuah's eviction. She said he brightened up her days. She sys she's from a military family and they don't cry as she wiped away the tears. Adam said she wialed and we'll see what she's made of now, Marine.

B&W recap of the HOH comp time. I bet Adam will win! And, he does. Natalie had a drream, God speaks to her or something. James is very upset, it really really sucks.

Sharon hates everybody there.

Team Christ has got it going on for Natalie. She's thrilled to deat. Once you have the power of Jesus, you never go back ... or something like that.

James is getting really aggravated and Sharon wants to go think. James comes up with various scenarios. Sheila thinks she has had enough abuse... if Adam puts her on the block, she'll really be hurt. Adam tells us she might be the pawn. "Most truth is spoken through jest, my friend." She still gets ticked.

Adam's HOH room ... more pictures, pics of his homies, no baby food, but a letter from home. His mom wrote how many are rooting for him. She closes her eyes every time she sees him picking his nose. He tells us he's a single guy. His roommate was responsible for the baby food.

Natalie and Adam are suspicious as Sheila is outside with Sharon and James. Natalie says it should go James, Sharon, then Sheila out of the house. Ryan says Sheila is expendable.

James talks to Adam. Adam thinks James is down and out and has nobody. He feels bad. James goes to his alter-ego Crazy James and runs around making power faces in the windows. He thinks he's going to win this game.

My word verification is ditsi. @@

The entertaining music is on and they're toilet papering Sheila's room. OLD FOOTAGE! It was when Joshuah was in the house although we're just seeing James, Ryan, and Adam. Sheila took it well. Natalie hides in the garbage pail to scare her. She thinks they're up to something. James is sneaking up with flour. Now Sheila is mad.

Adam told her they did it because they love her. She tells us she doesn't get upset with all the pranks, it's no big deal. IN a weepy moment she talks to Adam about having a dream that her son was in the yard. She tells us how hard it is. Adam says he misses his family, but it must be harder without her son ... so he will ehlp her out. She cries more for us in the DR.

She thinks Adam "gets her" more than anyone else in the house. He's the only one who she can trust and talk about her son to.

Sharon thinks her strategy is to lay low. Ryan talks to her about working with her. He said he'll try to talk Adam into putting Sheila up instead of her. Ryan and Sheila, nicest people to the final two.

So he goes to talk to Adam who has a stupid grin on his face. Ryan thinks a three-person rotation -- Sheila, Sharon, James is in order. Is Adam rceptive? Hard to tell.

Mama Sharon is takling James under her wing.

It's time for the food comp. Ryan needs to get off slop. In the yard there's a huge inclined ramp with stuff on it ... mashed potatoes. You have to sling mashed potatoes. Must build pathways for the gravy down slopes into tubes which are for food groups. 3 luxury items can be earned -- feast, barbecue, outdoor toys. "Adam and Ryan are whales on the ramp," says James.

This is very messy, but very different, too. They got meat and fish first. Then desserts and snacks. Natalie wasn't ready when Sheila poured gravy. Adam moved James train to outdoor toys instead of fruits and vegetables. They got bread and pasta. They got the BBQ grill. They're very messy.

They missed out on fruits/vegies/beer and soda and a feast. Everybody is happy.

Nominations today says the plasma screen. James wants to open up to Adam and point out that he's never done anything wrong to him. Adam said "I don't want my boy to be on the island. It hurts my feelings." Ryan eavesdrops and reports to Natalie. They say that Adam has to put James up.

Adam tells Ryan he's thinking of putting up Sheila and Sharon. Ryan calls Natalie up and she threatens to smack him upside the head. They double team Adam. He just has his silly grin on. Nat and Ryan are getting upset.

Natalie is worried that James will win POV, save Sharon and either her or Ryan will go up. He's a bum and a con artist, says she.

James talks to him again. He says either thing he does is a big risk. Why did you vote me back in the game if you didn't want to work with me? Sheila is bitter, thinks James is a troublemaker. Natalie heard her name from downstairs and joins them. James said he said she voted him back in. James said he's only asking Adam, not Natalie. Adam tells him it's too little too late in the whole game. Natalie tells him that he's negative and mean to people. He breaks down. It's Adam who consoles him.

Adam looks like he's redy to cry. He tears up. Natalie consoles him, but you can tell it's not affecting her like Adam. The tears were real, haven't cried like that since last week ... er, when his father died when he was 14. It just sucks.

Adam tells him he knows he can win POV. Adam tells him he won't be on the block if he promises not to use the POV if he wins.

Adam is considering his nominations by staring at the memory wall and gathering the keys. Adam thinks he has to think what's best for him, not what's best for everyone else. Ryan wants him to nominate James or he or Natalie will end up on the block.

Time for the nominations ceremony. Ways to go, options, personal safety, group safety, passion for the game.

Key order -- Natalie, Ryan, James. Sheila looks disgusted, Natalie looks confused. Sharon and Sheila are nominated for eviction.

Adam will fast forward the motions if James won POV. This will put fire into everybody to play POV. If you want James out, win POV. James made a promise. Sheila is heartbroken. Adam just wants everybody to play. Sheila thinks Adam stabbed her in the back over and over again. Ryan thinks Adam's noms are cowardly and spineless. "Adam is a frickin idiot! Like the mashed potato river, but with tears" -- Natalie. Ryan thinks he won one friend and lost three.

BB9 - POV Meeting Update

As expected, Ryan used the POV to save Sheila. Adam put James on the block with Sharon.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Into Sunday Morning

Now, there's a sight for a Sunday morning! Perhaps I'm no one to talk because I don't have any tattoos. But, if I were to have tattoos, I'd want some kind of art and symmetry about them, as well as nothing that has to be covered by Band-Aids all the time.

Here are the evening's happenings from that Big Brother House of Looney Toons:

• Natalie again AGAIN denied the oral sex with Matt. She admits to "touching it once" a couple of weeks ago. He's been out of the house for three weeks. When Sharon mentioned that, Natalie said she meant three weeks before he was evicted.
• With the outdoor toys, they also received topic cards for discussion. So a lot of the evening was really odd small talk.
• Sheila told Adam that he doesn't know her better because he doesn't want to know. (Nor do I.)
• Natalie claims that she never loved Mattie and now that she knows about all of his lies, she finds him repulsive. (Sure, I want to see when they reunite! I bet she'll be all over him!)
• Sharon told Ryan she'd put up Adam and Sheila if she won HOH.
• Sheila, still upset with Adam about being put on the block, asked him why her and not Natalie.
• Adam told her that he thought she would be safer than Natalie. She asked if that was because Natalie's a stronger player and he agreed. She then said she might win it all without winning a single comp. (NONONONONO!)
• Sheila doesn't think anyone will put them (her and Adam) on the block together because there are stronger players in the game.
• Sharon would.
• Ryan and James talked about the veto ceremony. Ryan said he would be using it, but it would be Adam's decision who to put on the block.
  
• They're sure that Adam won't be putting Natalie on the block and it will be James.
• James told Ryan that he had been making deals with Natalie and that Natalie has been talking about Ryan behind his back.
• Natalie told Adam and Sheila that "they" were going to try to get him to nominate her instead of James. He said he already told James he'd be going on the block.
• Adam, Natalie, and Sheila think they'll be the final three. They plan James, Sharon, and Ryan to go in that order.
• All are asleep as I post this.
  

OFF TOPIC: Roofus on the Flip Side

I'm awaiting my latest BB9 live feeds post to go up over at TV Squad. It's been kind of boring in the house today. The big news there is they now have outside toys. Woohoo.

If you click on the image below, it should go larger. This is the back of the buildings where I catch Roofus the cat in the front. I was right about him going to the old ex-car rental place where the elderly man feeds the feral cats. Today I caught him going down the lower roofs to the car tops, then the ground.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Since POV

Will James have 9 lives on the 9th of April? Only time will tell, but the future looks a bit dim for the geek in the pink.

Since Ryan won POV it's highly unlikely that James will being using those 9 lives anywhere but in the sequester house.

Thanks go to Zoetawny for the great graphic! James would probably be happy to know he's not just any cat with a pink mohawk ... he's a max cat!

Since the suspense of the POV comp is over, there hasn't been much excitement in the house. It's not like big surprises are expected at the POV meeting on Sunday, so we've hit the doldrums. Without further ado, here's what's been going on in that Big Brother House of Merry Misfits:

• Sheila told Adam and Natalie that she thinks that James will probably try to manipulate Ryan.
  
• I think Sheila's trying to manipulate Adam and Natalie.
• Sheila makes nowhere near 60 grand a year. Why am I not surprised? I think the median income levels of most BB houseguests are on the low side. Some in pharmaceutical sales do well, but I think most of the younger crowd have throwaway McJobs.
• James did work on Adam, trying to convince him that Natalie and/or Sheila need to be gone.
• Once again they're hoping for a luxury clothes comp.
• Adam and Ryan talked and agreed Sheila is an idiot. (An annoying one at that, I say.)
• James told Ryan and Sharon disgusting things he's done to the kitchen sink.
• James told Sharon, Adam, and Sheila that he doesn't like when Natalie goes around calling him an evil-doer then plays nice to his face. (At least he realizes it's happening, he's not completely snowed.)
• James says Sheila needs the money more and he's not upset leaving before her. (Oh, do NOT let Sheila get to the end you silly hamsters! It's not about who "needs" the money more. If a person "needs" money so bad, they work for a living and don't go into the BB9 house for three months!)
• Sheila says she's going to really try to win comps from now on. Wait, didn't she say that before? @@
• Adam thinks if he gets to the end he'll have James' jury vote because he didn't lie to him.
• Natalie didn't learn what a pedestal is in her three years in design school or in her life for that matter. Sheila told her the word is common knowledge. Not in the Beaver State of Mind, I guess.
• Adam had to display how a pedestal functions using a pepper shaker.
• I guess none of Natalie's boyfriends ever really put her up on a pedestal or she'd know the word. Obviously looking for love in all the wrong places.
  

There's the big news of the evening so far. A thrill a minute.
