Big Brother 9 - Odd Changes - Live Feed Flash

Well, this is just bizarre. Sharon (of the evicted Sharon and Jacob) is back and Neil is gone. Yes, you heard me. They're saying something about Neil having to leave for an emergency, so they brought her back. She's partnered with Joshuah.

There will be more on it in a feeds report over on TV Squad in a bit.

Curiouser and curiouser. Oh, wait. Alice was last year!

EXPANDING ON THIS ... as I await the TVS article to be posted...

I just find this all too strange and can't help but to think the Sharon return was all staged, don't you? Neil and Joshuah were getting along the best of all of the enforced couplings. Sharon and Jacob were evicted Saturday night, sequestered, and the world wasn't told until Wednesday night. It was Jacob's actions which ruined Sharon's chances in the house -- when one partner sinks, he drowns the other.

What do you think?

UPDATE - The TV Squad post is now up at this link.

'Big Brother 9' - Live Blogged from the East Coast 2/13

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this entry as it airs, so please forgive any typoos. Your comments are indeed welcome!

It's the recap with Jen and Ryan deciding to keep their relationship a secret ... yeah, right. Jen thinks she'll keep her big secret. Sharon thinks she's safe and Parker likes her so much. Adam is sure that he'll be going home. He calls the autistic kids he works with "retards." So, Shelia gets teary about that. I'm not teary, but that makes Adam go down more in my book.

Sheila is basically campaigning for people to vote her and Adam out. She's still on the "retard" kick.

Ryan is a bad actor with Allison. He's looking all over the place and she thinks he's deep! Yikes!

Jen whines. Ryan sneaks a talk with her and it's obvious that he's very possessive of her. Hmm ...

Alex reminds us that he's overly thrilled with Amanda's looks, personality, and more. I don't know. I thought I would like Alex. Jacob wants to "turn the chicken up" in the house. That's a new one on me -- he's talking stir it up. He's on an anti-Parker bit. Parker is gutless, heartless, etc. Of course, that worries Jen that people think Parker's a snake. Ryan knows she'll go tell Parker, her partner.

She does. Parker decides to confront Jacob. Interesting ... Jacob is the ex-Marine and he won't even look Parker in the eye. This must have been what led up to the brouhaha (great word) atmosphere in the house.

"Call him out!," they cahnt at Jacob for not telling who called Parker a snake. He won't speak up. No one is admitting to calling him a snake and Jacob isn't telling. No one seems to be guilty. Sharon is ticked at Jacob, but Jen is happy with how Parker handled it. In the bed they must share, Jacob told Sharon it just slipped out.

Sharon told Parker that she promised not to say who said it. She goes as far as to tell him the boys were talking. He guesses Ryan and she nods. Parker thought he was okay with Ryan, but now wants him out if he doesn't admit it.

Yes, welcome to the third grade, folks!

Aha, this is why she tells Parker ... because he's determined to challenge Ryan and wants him out. She tells Parker that she'll stick with him and if Ryan must go, he must go. She then tells Ryan with Parker still there. He's not happy Jen told Parker, sbut feels he has to tell Allison their secret because Parker knows.

She's shocked. Remember, she thought he was deep. She now mistrusts him thinking he'll tell Jen everything they plan. Neither Jen or Allison trust each other -- Allison thinks she'd be a better girlfriend for Ryan than Jen is. Parker and Ryan don't trust each other. Have another cup of controversy, my friends!

Sigh ... Sheila is now going on about Adam's snoring. He apologizes and I have to admit that's out of his control. Complaining about the snoring just gets the others more irked at her.

EVICTIONS TODAY reads the plasma scene.

Parker is having problems with the eviction. Both Jen and Parker look nervous ... Jen cries over it. Jacob and Sharon are history. Parker and Jen were the most forlorn announcers of eviction I've ever seen. Both of them.

Jen is crying all over. The eviction was due to Jacob and Sharon was just the collateral damage. Adam and Sheila were the easy targets and both know they're lucky to still be there.

HOH Comp time! The Power Couple gets to play. The backyard is all set up with a Tunnel of Love and all. Oh, my. The hosts for the game (because they fell in love in the house) are Jessica and Eric from BB8 -- they're still in love. Gag me with a spoon.

It's a Q&A session about their feelings about their soulmate in the house. This is reminding me of the old Newlywed Game. It was a bit naughty at times, but cute. Amanda and Alex won and became the new DuoHOH. Whatever.

Nominations

Finally, the feeds have returned. It seems that it is indeed Jen/Parker and Ryan/Allison are on the block. In a few minutes, I'll get the live blog show post up and running.

BB9 - A Letdown Apres Brouhaha - Today's Live Feeds

No, it's not hot reptile sex going on. She's just doing his twists in his hair. After all of the tension last night, today's been very calm in the Big Brother 9 House of Love.

Here are the events of the sour soulmates so far today:

• Sheila was up first at about 8:30 AM their time.
• The BB voice tried to wake everyone up past 9:30 ... not very successfully.
• Matt tends to mumble when he's speaking to only one person. Enunciate, dear Matt, enunciate.
• Although there have been no nominations yet, thus no PoV, there was an indoor lockdown as something was being built in the yard. I almost said erected in the yard, but that just sounds so wrong for this crew even though CBS wants to sell the sex angle.
• Matt still wants nothing to do with Natalie even though she's already told him she expects a kiss on Valentine's Day.
• They think they were "good TV" for the ShoToo viewers last night. (Hey, remember someone is watching all the time, hamsters!)
• Parker, who last night said he would throw comps, talked to Matt about how he's worried that Jen will throw them. @@
• In girl talk -- Amanda says she's not attracted to Alex, Natalie is upset that Matt isn't responding to her, Sheila hates Adam.
• Adam cried yesterday according to the girls.
• Sheila told the others she dropped out of school in the 8th grade to pursue movies and let them in on various movie bits she's done and Shelley Winters.
  
• Parker told Matt that Natalie offered him sexual favors to be nice to her.
• Lots of talk of things they've done, some probably a bit embellished.
• Amanda mentioned that they moved into the house Thursday night and that Jacob and Sharon were evicted late Saturday night or really early Sunday morning.
• Parker told Matt that he likes to push peoples' buttons. Um, obviously!
• Lots of "what if" talks about nominations, but I haven't heard anything concrete.
• Sheila apparently gave her word to Jen that she won't vote her off. Jen told her that if Ryan goes, she could actually play the game.
• Sheila and Adam may not get along, but they're pretty safe in the house as they're not seen as a threat.
  

BB9 - The Latest From Inside the House

I took this screencap late last night. As I post this, the houseguests are all asleep.

My latest feed report is up over on TV Squad. Please check it out and feel free to comment here or there or in both places! What a mess the show is already in, eh?
