BB9 - Live Feeds Update - Into the Evening 2/14

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

Yeah, Ryan is worried. He's worried about Jen being near another man and he's worried that he'll be evicted.

What a heavy burden to bear!

(Thanks to Zoetawny for the graphic!)

Here's what's been happening in that Big Brother house of Dubious Duos since I last reported:


  • Once again I'm amazed about the lack of personal responsibility expected from the houseguests. BB had an outdoor lockdown so that they could clean the guinea pig cage. I know 7-year-olds who do that. Perhaps it's best that the HG don't handle the guinea pigs. They might corrupt them.

  • Allison and Sheila think Alex is aligning with the wrong women in the house. Sheila told Allison that Parker talked about suicide. (Now, I didn't catch him actually doing that ... it's possible that Sheila is embellishing things a bit.)
  • Sheila thinks Jen is the boss in the Jen/Ryan relationship.
  • Sheila also thinks that Jen threw her own boyfriend under the bus and thinks that Jen and Parker are master manipulators. (Puppetmasters? No way!)
  • If Allison leaves, Sheila plans to ally with Sharon.
  • Sharon's picture is now on the Memory Wall.
  • Parker thinks it's the most unfair season ever.
  • Allison complained to Parker that Ryan isn't even talking to her. (Too involved having sex in the stall with Jen, I guess.)
  • Parker and James think that eviction might be on Sunday.
  • There's still no hint of any upcoming food comps.
  • Amanda is tiring of Alex. She told Parker that Alex thinks he's smarter than her and wants to do all the talking, make all the decisions.
  • Alex is suspicious that Amanda knew Parker before the house. She denies it.
  • Alex and Amanda screamed at each other in the yard. He doesn't want her talking to James and Chelsia or Sheila and Adam.

    • Alex is really on an anti-James rant.
    • Amanda is even madder at Alex.
    • This bunch gets into huge blow-ups over the most stupid things -- down to the point of yelling about who swore at whom first.
    • James and Adam both want to vote out Jen and Parker. The only problem? James and Adam aren't partners!
    • They all dressed up for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner in the House of Hate.
    • They said grace and each said what the day meant to them. BLECH. If they actually liked each other, that would be different.
    • Parker and James shook hands and said they will handle things better without going off at each other.
    • Matt said he only trusts Parker.
    • Amanda thinks it's a woman's job to clean up after her man. @@
    • Amanda and Alex went at it again. No, not sex ... arguing!
    • Alex is still on the You Hang Out With Parker Too Much rag. It's as if he thinks Amanda is his real girlfriend.
    • BB gave them more alcohol, just what they need!
    • Amanda and Alex, after Amanda visited the Diary Room, read the PoV instructions to everyone.
    • Still no Power of Veto comp yet, though.
    • Chelsia is upset because others are saying that James is her brother.
    • James put more fuel in the fire by walking away from the accusations.
    • James and Chelsia think Matt started the rumor.
    • Tears, drama, and more ensue. Such stupidity.

    'Celebrity Aprentice' - 2/14 Episode - East Coast Update


    Although I won't be blogging the entire episode, I will post the main events and the firing here. Everyone is invited to share their thoughts in comments.

    Trump is splitting up the teams in kind of boy/girl fashion.

    Omarosa and Piers are on the same team. Well, physically on the same team. I don't think there's a real meeting of the minds going on there.

    Trace, Tito, Marilu, and Stephen on one side. Omarosa, Lennox, Carol, and Piers on the other.

    The team with Piers and Omarosa won. Omarosa gets sent to the other team because Piers refuses to work with her again. After the firing, that is.

    For the first time ever, Trump fired NO ONE. He just couldn't do it because the team members are so good.

    'Survivor Micronesia' - East Coast Updates - 2/14

    jackie's tv blog, survivor

    Yes, it's a new graphic by Zoetawny!

    The show has started here on the East Coast. While my full episode review is posted on TV Squad, important updates (immunity, the boot) will be posted here and you'll have a real time comments area to hang out in.

    Reward (fishing gear and bamboo boat) and Immunity won by the Favorites. They choose to send Kathy to Exile Island (picking up on her being an outsider on her tribe because others volunteered her to sit out of the challenge). New twist has them choosing one of their own to accompany her -- they chose Cirie. Two people, one immunity idol.

    Mary voted out, Mikey B in shock.

    Happy Valentine's Day ... and Tonight's Blogging Plan

    Jackie's TV Blog, holidays

    Yes, Zoetawny was kind enough to make a Valentine's Day graphic for the blog. Doesn't she rock, guys?

    Again I'm faced with the Thursday blogging dilemma.

    At around 8 PM ET I'll put up a Survivor 16: Micronesia East Coast Updates post. I'll do live updates as it airs here with the most important things -- immunity, the boot, and such. Later on in the evening my full episode review of the show will be posted on TV Squad. However, everyone is invited to comment here on the updates post as they watch the show.

    Then at 9 PM ET, I'll put up a Celebrity Apprentice updates post. Most likely I won't add much other than the fired, but folks will be welcome to discuss the show in comments.

    While I'm writing up the Survivor review for TV Squad and having Celebrity Apprentice on for the update, I'll be recording tonight's Lost for later review here. It could be worse ... at least there's no Big Brother tonight!

    Today's musical non-sequitur:
    Yummy, Yummy, Yummy.
    I got love in my tummy,
    And I feel like a-lovin you:
    Love, you're such a sweet thing,
    Good enough to eat thing
    And that's just a-what I'm gonna do.

    BB9 - Live Feeds Report Into the Day, Feb. 14


    GOT MILK?

    Well, well, well ... it's Valentine's Day in the Big Brother 9 House. Will there be fisticuffs? Will there be love? Will there be hot jungle sex? (Oh, wait. That last one is tonight's Survivor episode!)



    THERE APPARENTLY IS A FULL MOON OVER THE HOUSE ... OR IN IT


    OR IS IT JUST A WANING MOON?

    Here's the latest skinny from inside that Big Brother House of Are You As Immature as a Fifth Grader:
    • Sharon might be wearing out her welcome back. She talks too much!
    • Jen and Ryan apparently had sex in the bathroom stall in the wee hours. No, it wasn't shown to the feeds ... just the closed door with the occupied sign up, some heavy breathing noises, and Jen talking about sex so soon in the season. @@!!
    • Sheila was once again the first one up followed by James (who's not so crazy at all after all).
    • As they talked, she told him that she and Adam had mended fences. Adam had cried when telling her how special his work is (despite the "retard" comment). All is forgiven and they've decided to get along as a couple in the house. Ain't that precious? She said they just got off on the wrong foot. She said she has learned not to judge on first impressions.
    • James and Sheila prepared special breakfasts for their beloved soulmates.
    • James told Sheila he refuses to accept any money (but apparently will live off of or barter for shelter and food) on his bike adventure. He seems to like bars and was in a bar in Brooklyn when he heard about Big Brother.
    • Chelsia hates coffee and Sheila is shocked that anyone could hate coffee. Odd.
    • Odd about Sheila being so shocked, that is.
    • James confirmed the weekly stipend is still $750 for the time they are in the house or in sequester. It's a sweet deal for him.
    • Adam was thrilled with the breakfast from Sheila. All is lovey-dovey, hunky-dory and more between them.
    • Meanwhile, Chelsia told James it was sweet, but she doesn't eat breakfast.
    • Matt made Natalie a Valentine's Day card with nail polish used to create it.
    • They're complaining it's very cold this morning.
    • Parker is sure that he and Jen will be evicted. He told Jen he has no faith in her and BB doomed his chances.
    • The Guinea Pig Cam has been intermittent -- good. I prefer them to flames or trivia or sometimes even the houseguests!
    • Someone threw a newspaper clipping in the yard. Adam said it was mens basketball standings and we got guinea pigs.
    More later!
