BB9 - Pre-Live Show Video

The feeds are on later towards the show tonight. Usually they're blocked a good hour or two before the show. I took this video about five minutes ago and got it up on YouTube.

Latest BB9 Feeds Report

Heh. Zoetawny made a Natalie vs. Evil-Doers graphic for us! It's perfect! Thank you, Zoetawny ... you know how much you rock!

And I want to thank you all for all of the great comments and community here on the blog lately. I've been bogged down and haven't had the chance to spend much time commenting, but I am indeed reading them. I love it! What a fantastic group we've become! Yay! I have to say the one which made me laugh out loud was the anonymous commenter saying God wanted her to be here pretending to be someone else. But the community has to be the best I've seen on anything show related for ... well, forever! Thank you!

My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. As usual, I'll be live blogging tonight's show here in a separate post. Thankfully I don't have to write the review afterwards. I've been filling in for JJ on his BB nights there for a while but the Wednesday show is Kristin's post.

I'll close for now with another shot of Roofus I took yesterday morning.

Big Brother 8 - Live Feeds Into Wednesday Morning and STUFF

Oh, I know this isn't a screen cap from the feeds. But, can you find Roofus the Cat in this photo I took early yesterday morning on my way to work? You can click on the photo to enlarge it. Look, it's SPRING! (Finally.) I have some other photos I took which I'll post a bit later today.

My live feeds report from last night went up on TV Squad went up during the show and my latest show review is up there, too. As for me, I was running a bit on empty last night and I apologize for not posting another update until now. Although I'm on the very tired side lately between work, the upcoming knee surgery, the knee itself, the blogging at TVS and here ... I see a light at the end of the tunnel!

I'm taking a vacation week next week so covering the big final HOH comp will be not an issue at all. The finale is a week from Sunday. While I really love covering the show, it becomes very time consuming and I'm always happy when a season ends and those four hours of sleep nights are in the past. Since I should be past the worst part of recovery, but still off from work, during BB10, that should be a lot less exhausting!

Today I'm taking my cat to the vet for a check-up and her shots to make sure she's all set for boarding while I'm in the hospital and the subsequent rehab hospital. (They want me to go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no.") I have to return a call to the doctor's office because they left a message here while I was at work. They told me my papers are ready to pick up. Hmmm ... not sure what that's all about. Maybe the admission stuff for the hospital or the medical clearance test stuff. I guess I'll find out. It's now less than a month away ... before they saw my leg apart ...! Wah!

Okay, I'm better now. Enough about STUFF, let's get into the happenings from last night and overnight inside that Big Brother House of Wailing Wannabes:

• Natalie continued to campaign against Sharon and tried to earn favor with the boys. No, she didn't offer them oral sex. You know she never did that with Matt! She says so!
• But there was a lot of sex talk if that counts as oral. :-)
• Adam wondered if they should just go ahead and vote Natalie out since she thinks she's going home.
• Natalie told Adam that Sheila and Sharon are two "nutballs." She told him that they're throwing him under the bus, she isn't.
• Natalie is all of a sudden Adam's bestest new friend and decides that Sharon is "SheDog." Or is that Sheila?
• Sharon told Sheila that Natalie is dumb. (Or is that D-U-M?) Natalie says she's campaigning hardcore but the boys will vote the way they want.
• Sharon, not knowing the boys aren't 100% on board with her anymore, thinks Natalie is panicking.
• Sheila is still very against Natalie staying. She told Sharon that she likes Ryan more and just tolerates Adam. I don't think that's altogether true. Watching her, the relationship with them is very different, but she and Adam remind me of a brother/sister or mother/son kind of thing. She's definitely closer and more open with Adam.
• Adam thinks Natalie is giving up but Ryan keeps encouraging her.
• He says they have to weigh their options and minimize their risk.
• Adam and Ryan talked together and agreed they're both voting out Sharon.
• Meanwhile, Sharon told Sheila that Ryan said he was not voting for Natalie.
• Natalie, apparently feeling saddened by the house atmosphere, didn't come to dinner with the rest of the houseguests.
• Adam did some odd robot character for much too long.
• Natalie finally had her dinner. Sheila made sure they saved a dish for her.
• Sheila and Adam bickered like an old married couple who fight for decades, but stay together.
• The vultures are already talking about who will get Sharon's slop pass. If she goes this week, there's only a matter of a week left. They can all live on slop! If I were Sharon and got evicted, I'd take it with me as a souvenir and laugh about them on slop.
• Ryan says that Sharon and Sheila are watching out for each other, but Natalie is in with them (the boys). If Sharon goes this week, Natalie and Sheila will be pitted against each other.
• Adam told Ryan he has to follow his heart and do the right thing ... which is to keep Natalie. (She cried real tears to him!)
• Adam told Ryan he wants Sheila in the final three with them and Natalie will be a vote for them no matter who throws her out.
• Ryan is more into a final three scenario of himself, Adam, and Natalie.
• Sharon told Natalie that they're going to try to get them mad at each other, but she always had her back no matter what anyone says.
• Sheila begged Adam to stick with the plan for getting Natalie out this week, that they'll risk jury votes by keeping her.
• She doesn't want blood on her hands. She's now thinking Adam will vote for Natalie to stay and Ryan will vote for Sharon to stay. If that happens, she'll vote for Natalie to go home and get those hands all bloody.
• Sheila confronted Sharon saying that Adam told her both Natalie and her (Sharon) were throwing her (Sheila) under the bus.
• She told Sharon now the boys want to keep Natalie.
• Sharon told her she's sure Ryan won't vote to keep Natalie. She doesn't mention her alliance with him although it's been quiet on that front lately. I'm not sure when Ryan's lying or not these days.
• Sheila thinks Natalie wants to be up against Ryan as the final two.
• She thinks the boys think that both of them can win against Natalie with the jury.
• Sheila cried. She realizes the boys are running the game, not her at this point.
• Natalie thinks if she remains, Sheila will take credit for it and tell her she told her she'd be safe.
• Adam, Ryan, and Sheila had a powwow in the HOH room.
• Ryan harped on the loyalty factor. What has Sharon ever done for them in the game?
• Sheila tells them that if she breaks a tie and keeps Natalie, Natalie will surely vote out one of them (the boys) next week.
  
• Sheila tells them that she herself has been loyal to them and that if Natalie stays, she will be voted out next week.
• Sheila basically freaked out at them all over the place.
• Sheila thinks that James will influence the rest of the jury and will be happy if given Natalie, better for all of them when thinking of votes at the end.
• Ryan says he doesn't care what James, Chelsia, and Joshuah think. Sheila reminds them that they're the ones who might make a difference in the jury vote at the end.
• After they split up, Sharon talked to Ryan. He denied they were planning on voting her out.
• Ryan told her Sheila is just freaking out and that she's safe this week.
• Sheila cried some more.
• Sharon told Sheila that Ryan's still on her side. Sheila tried to tell her otherwise.
• Sheila thinks it will be a tie and tells Sharon if she keeps her, she has to promise to protect her.
• They promise to protect each other.
• Adam feels bad because he was so nasty to Sheila, cursing at her and all.
• Natalie told Adam that if Sharon stays, Sheila has two people in her corner -- Adam and Sharon. She, Natalie, is all alone. (Wah.)
• Natalie told Adam his gut is telling him he needs to vote out Sharon. (His gut sounds a lot like Natalie!)
• Sheila vowed to not talk to Natalie all next week if she stays. (That might be viewed as an incentive for her to stay, I think.)
• Now the boys are talking ... if Sheila wants a split vote, she'll get a split vote. Hmmm.
• So, now the latest on the vote is that they will split it and let Sheila get her hands all bloody.
• We'll see.
  

Big Brother 9 - 4/15 Show Live Blogged from the East Coast

I got in late from work tonight and my latest live feeds report is still in pending over at TV Squad. Hopefully it will go live soon.

The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. As always, comments are very welcome! Since the entry in this blog is written as I watch television, please forgive any typos!

Will Sheila's plan to get Natalie on the block succeed or backfire? Hmmm ... gee, I don't know. we had the HOH end in color, now the nominations in black and white, into color for Day 64. Sheila tells us once again her real target is Natalie, worst case scenario is Natalie winning POV. Sharon tells us Natalie doesn't know the whole house is against her. Natalie brags to us about playing both sides -- Team Christ and the Girls.

Adam is worried. Sharon seems confident that Natalie will end up on the block and she'll be safe.

Natalie runs up to the HOH to play Sheila as she plays all the HOH. Sheila tells us she bashes Adam in front of the girls, but she really wants to go to the end of the game with him.

Natalie tills Adam he'll have her vote to stay. Ryan says he's not calling Adam out but he put everyone in their alliance at risk last week. Ryan, liking to take over, tells Adam he can't blame Sheila. For saying he's not the target, Ryan sure is being nasty to Adam.

Sheila complains about Natalie never really communicating with her. "False witnesses never profit." - Adam. He says Natalie is Judas.

The POV tonight screen came on the plasma TV. Adam wants to be on and off, DUN. It's a night time POV. Sheila says Natalie cannot win this and it's her only chance to get Natalie out of the house.

Sheila tells Sharon she has her bleepin' word she won't go home. Natalie gets "preemies" - premonitions that all will go well. Preemies? Sheesh!

They have to go to separate rooms and get called one by one to the backyard t compete. Once again, Sheila tells us she doesn't want Natalie to win. A giant TV, remote control, 70s love shack according to Natalie. Channel surfing, use the remote contraols, if all are on the right channel the puzzle will be solved.

Nat -- Where's the top of Adam's head? She realizes that all the houseguests faces and the guinea pigs with HG hairdos puzzles. She finally decides to go for the guinea pigs.

Adam is up, he has to win. Ryan is up, he wants to win. Sharon feels she's at risk. Sheila is looking confused. She says Natalie is great at puzzles. Adam first made a proper workspace. Ryan kept staring at Jen's picture -- he was mesmerized by her beauty. Jacob's face was on Evel Dick's body. Sheila is hot for Evel Dick. He took over she said. "Is it taking me a million frickin years or what?"

Time to reveal the results. Ryan - 6.01 minutes, Sheila 15.30, Adam 3.20, Natalie 12.09 (she reminds me of the Wicked Witch melting), Sharon 4.56. The Baller's off the block!

Natalie is so happy that Adam won the veto, if he didn't, Sharon would have. If only she knew. Sheila tells is she makes sure Natalie thinks she has her back, but she doesn't. She will be shocked.

Adam is all pumped up. natalie says someone else must go up. Sheila says it's slim pickins, twice. Sheila tells Sharon and Adam that Natalie will be going up and going home. Natalie tells Ryan and Adam she doesn't want to go to sequester. She says they can take out Sheila next week. Ryan tells her not to stress. He goes to break up Sharon and Sheila in the HOH room.

He tells Sheila and Shaon that natalie doesn't think she'll be voted out, but that she knows she'll go up on the block. Ryan tells Sheila he's totally with her -- if you want her gone, she's gone.

God wanted me to go on TV and be me - Natalie after saying she didn't get acting jobs. Sheila and Sharon talk about natalie not being very smart, but she thinks she is. Nat in the pool tells the guys that Sheila and Sharon are talking smack about her.

It would just suck if I ended up going home. Sheila says that natalie's not going anywhere and she didn't go back on her word. She didn't put up Ryan or Natalie. Sheila tells us she didn't like lying to Natalie's face.

Team Christ is going to act like Jesus and keep their word -- Natalie.

Sheila's birthday party, they have cake and are decorating with streamers. They actually shock her. And sing For She's a Jolly Good Fellow (no rights to Happy Birthday). She has a card. She cries. It's from her mom. Their relationship has been on and off. Aw, mom misses her. She's conquere obstacles ahead, but can do it. She's watched all nine seasons of the show, something Sheila didn't know. Her mom was a single mom. Gee, so is Sheila! Cries some more.

Sharon tells Adam that she will only have three jury votes in the end. Ryan and Adam think they should be the final two. Ryan tells Adam he wants Natalie gone even though he'd do better with her with the jury.

Sheila tells Adam and Ryan not to vote one to one. She tells Adam she knows that it would be him voting to keep Natalie. Sheila tells Adam that Natalie would go after her. Sheila tells us she doesn't want to get blood on her hands with a tiebreaker. She will make Adam's life hell if the votes to keep Natalie.

Adam ticks off Sheila so she threatens to put Ryan, his bro, up. After she stomps off, Ryan tells Adam nothing is certain. They just have to wait to make sure Ryan doesn't go on the block, then they run the house and the vote.

POV Meeting time. Adam tells us he's taking himself off the block and wants Sheila to put Natalie on the block. If that happens, he and Ryan control the house. Ryan tells us he's worried. Sharon says she would never ever ask him to use it on her, he deserves it. Adam says Sharon's speech motivated him to use it on himself.

Sheila says the decision is the hardest ever ... she gets teary shaky, really difficult, thought long an hard, has to go with what will get her further in the game. She chooses Natalie and apologizes. Natalie fake pouts. Sheila thanks Ryan for taking her off the block last week. With that, the meeting is adjourned.

Sheila tells us natalie isn't safe. If Adam gives her a pity vote, he'll pay for it. Natalie is confident she's safe. Ryan tells us he and Adam control the game from here on out.

Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Tuesday Morning

Eviction day looms ahead. The show promos are saying Natalie is targeted. But is that still the case? Here are the late night events from that Big Brother House of Cat Fighting Mamas:

• Sharon and Natalie got mad because BB said they don't want them holding the guinea pigs for their own safety and the safety of the guinea pigs.
• Natalie said that Adam is the only one who didn't tell her to drop in the HOH comp. She thinks that Sharon and Sheila have something going on together.

• Natalie denied saying that to him.
• Sheila told Natalie that if she calls them evil-doers in front of Sharon, she will tell the jury.
• Sheila told Natalie she won't win because the jury all hates her.
• Sheila feels she never was a part of Team Christ and has been isolated from the others throughout the game. (Maybe she's an island like James!)
• As Sheila continued to berate her, Natalie started to cry. She thinks she's being thrown under the bus and she's tried so hard to keep everyone together.
• Sharon hid from it all, reading the bible quietly on her own.
• Sheila, in front of Ryan, reminded Natalie she had begged that she put up Ryan instead of her.
• Sharon and Adam, downstairs, wonder if the other three are plotting against them.
• Natalie cried some more because they're throwing her out of the game when they had plans to be the final four.
• Adam told Sharon that some people in the house are very two-faced. Duh, welcome to Big Brother!
• Natalie insists that she hasn't been calling people out, just saying what's in her gut.
• Hiss! Meow!
• Natalie admitted that she wanted to be in the final two with Ryan, not Adam.
• Natalie doesn't think Sheila will vote to keep her in the case of a tie. Gee, really?

• Adam, sounding emotional, said he had to pray to the Lord to get through this.

• Sheila ranted on at Natalie about her laughing when James floured her. Broken record time going on big time in this brouhaha!
• Adam and Sharon talked about Jacob in spite of the storm upstairs.

• Upstairs, Sheila and Natalie decide that Sharon is a sneak. Huh?

• Sheila told Adam that Ryan threw him under the bus when they were up there with Natalie. She said Natalie spilled the beans to her about it.
• Sheila told Adam that Ryan told Natalie that he had nothing to do with the Big Confrontation. (Liar, liar, pants on fire! It was Ryan's plan and Ryan's the one who pushed it getting Adam all incited!)
• Adam wants to call Ryan out, but Sheila tells him not to.
• Sheila told Adam that Natalie admitted wanting to put Ryan and Adam on the block next.
• Now Ryan seems to have come full circle and he wants Natalie to stay out of loyalty. (What about his loyalty to his secret Sharon alliance?)
• Ryan's mad at Sheila for the Natalie bit even though it was similar to the Big Confrontation.
• Ryan is now trying to convince Adam they have to save Natalie because they betrayed her and it wasn't right.
• Despite the fact Sheila will freak, they agree that now they'll keep Natalie. Full circle flipflop.
• Natalie cried on.
