Big Brother 9 - Live Feeds Into Friday Morning

Like sand through the hourglass, these are the happenings of the hamsters since my last report:
  • When Sheila asked what Adam would do if he was on the block with Sharon, he told her he'd win the veto and take himself off.
  • Ryan and Sharon finished watching the movie they won and came in from the backyard for an indoor lockdown while the staff dismantled the event.
  • Apparently Sheila and Adam were granted a reprieve on being chained together for the duration of the movie.
  • So, they're to be attached once again.
  • Sharon said they aren't allowed to talk about the movie - What Happens in Vegas.
  • There were two Mustangs in the backyard. No, not the horses. The movie had to have something to do with the cars, I'd guess.
  • As for the movie, they commented it was good, Sheila would have enjoyed it.
  • Sharon thinks Adam won't try hard to win POV since he's not on the block.
  • The cuffs will come off of Sheila and Adam at 5 PM today (their time, PT)
  • Sharon thinks Adam and Sheila had an alliance before coming here -- something about Sheila being on Craigslist and Adam being recruited by Robin (casting woman).
  • Sharon is very worried. She thinks Adam must go. She told Ryan he HAS to win POV, take her off the block, and put Adam up so she can vote him out.
  • Sharon thinks if Adam wins POV, she's history.
  • Adam and Sheila aren't having the best of times trying to sleep while chained together.
  • Ryan thinks the third relationship has to be Sheila and somebody else.
  • Poor Adam. Sheila is talking non-stop about all kinds of things.
  • As I get this posted, they're all sleeping, perhaps not the most restful sleep for Adam and Sheila.

Big Brother Live Feeds After Nominations


Adam listens to Sheila talk. And talk. And then talk some more. She wants his vote to stay. She feels he owes her the vote, I think.

Here are the evening happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Not So Lovable Louts and Layabouts:
  • As you know, Ryan nominated Sheila and Sharon for eviction. He wants Sheila out and has told Adam so.
  • After the nominations ceremony, Adam seems to want to vote out Sheila with no advice from Ryan. "After she did that to me ...!" I have no clue what that's about. It seems to be something which happened while the feeds were blocked.
  • Sheila cried.
  • Adam doesn't want to be chained to Sheila for 24 hours. What a shock!
  • Ryan and Adam once again talked about how Sheila must leave this week.
  • Ryan told Sharon they're getting rid of Sheila this week. She told him he ought to target Adam.
  • Sharon said she wants to vote out Adam if she wins POV and takes herself off the block.
  • Sheila said being chained to Adam is her punishment for voting Natalie out of the house.
  • Adam thinks they have 13 days left in the house. He's wrong. It's ten.
  • Sharon and Ryan want to be the final two.
  • Just earlier Adam and Ryan wanted to be the final two.
  • I want the guinea pigs to be the final two.
  • The feeds were blocked for a while and when they returned, the chain was off of Adam and Sheila. Not a word why.
  • Sheila cried some more.
  • Adam told her he would vote to evict Sharon.
  • Sheila said they're faking that they hate each other to fool Ryan because he can't be trusted.
  • Sheila told Adam she loves and trusts him.
  • Since Sharon and Ryan are watching the movie they won, it's been all Sheila and Adam.
  • Adam listened at the door and almost in unison Sheila and the BB voice told him to "Stop that!"
  • Adam told Sheila that he's going to tell Ryan whatever he wants to hear, but then he'll be voting to keep her in the house.
  • Sheila needs some Tylenol PM. @@
  • They're both boring and unchained with no explanation that I heard.
  • Ryan and Sharon are still watching the movie.
  • I'm outta here!

Survivor Review, BB9 Noms

D'oh! I forgot to post the BB9 noms. I hate when they tell people ahead of time they're going on the block. It makes the nominations ceremony itself (which is blocked from the feeds) almost unimportant. Ryan nominated Sharon and Sheila, as he said he would. I'll be posting an update in a bit.

My review of tonight's Survivor is up over on TV Squad.

Today was another one of those days for me -- worked later than I planned, had to go to the doctor's office to pick up all of the pre-admission paperwork for my medical clearance and my auto-whatever blood "donation." I have to give them my blood so that when I need it during my surgery, I'll get my own back. Oh, great ... I hope I don't give myself any diseases! Then when I got home there was a letter from my health insurance company -- "We're pleased to inform you that your surgery has been approved." Well, of course it is! Sheesh!

More in a bit!

Survivor Micronesia: East Coast Updates 4/17 Show

jackie's tv blog, survivor

My latest Big Brother 9 live feeds post is be up on TV Squad.

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! :-)

Rewards challenge -- two teams of four compete, Cirie not picked in schoolyard pick and goes to Exile Island. Jason, Ozzy, Erik, and Amanda won reward -- an overnight cultural feast, dance and more.

Parvati won Immunity. Jason made a deal to give up so everyone can eat, but they all lied to him -- fingers crossed as they told him they wouldn't vote him out. Jeff said the deal will cost him the game.

ARGH ... why didn't he play the idol?

Ozzy was voted out.

Wah.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds Into Thursday Morning


Ryan was happy to get a new stash of cigarettes in his HOH basket. I took this screen cap as he smoked in the yard last night.

Here are the latest happenings from inside that Big Brother House of Dwindling Days:
  • Adam and Ryan think whoever the third couple is in the house, they won't 'fess up now. (Well, maybe if they could talk, they would!)
  • Sharon is sure the slug in the yard is her same friend from the other night. Ryan and Adam threaten to cook it, so she had to ask Sheila to watch it so she could go to the Diary Room.
  • Adam told Sheila that if it's her and Ryan with a preexisting relationship, he's fine with it.
  • Ryan thinks Adam and Sharon could be siblings.
  • Ryan claims he doesn't know anyone in the house (from before the show) and that he never lies. Well, he's right on one count.
  • Sheila thinks that she might be related to Ryan and just not know it. That, to me, doesn't meet the criteria. If you don't know it, you don't have a preexisting relationship. I guess they're thinking along Cowby/Nakomis lines.
  • Sheila doesn't understand why BB would deliberately put a target on her and Adam as they're the only couple left. They pledge to be loyal to each other.
  • Ryan hinted to Sheila that he might put Adam on the block.
  • Adam is sure that Ryan will win POV, too.
  • Sharon's slug went missing.
  • The guys wondered if Sharon and Sheila might have a lesbian relationship.
  • Ryan's worried that since he got the question on the relationship right people will think it's him.
  • Sharon played with the guinea pigs as they pondered the relationship thing even more.
  • Sheila freaked out when she realized that Natalie's grandmother is from Tennessee and so is she. Horrors! Did she vote out a relative?
  • Ryan told Sharon he doesn't want to take Adam to the final two.
  • Sharon told Ryan that she knows Adam voted for Natalie to stay because he winked at her as he came out from voting.
  • Ryan thinks it would be best for him and Sharon to get Adam out next.
  • He just doesn't want to blatantly put him on the block. He really likes Adam.
  • Ryan thinks Adam is one who doesn't like to get the blood on his hands and keeps thinking of the jury vote.
  • Ryan also thinks that Adam has been playing spineless for weeks now. They decide they'll talk more after they get some sleep.
  • All are sleeping as I post this.
