'Big Brother 9' Live Blogged from the East Coast - 3/02 Show

jackie's tv blog, Big Brother, BB9

The show has started here on the East Coast. I'll be constantly updating this entry as it airs. Please forgive any typos as I'm writing this a bit off the cuff. As always, I want your take on the show in comments! After all, that's where the fun is!

Joshuah is planning an attack. He's upset because Allison lied to him about being a lesbian and changed her vote. Now it's to a B&W winning of the HOH for Joshuah and Sharon once again. He's talking about the tear her heart out bit I previously reported, but nothing about a slit throat so far.

Did Adam blow his nose on the bottom of his t-shirt? Then Adam primped as Joshuah went on ranting at Allison. She, of course, is playing poor pitiful me. James tells us that he thinks Joshuah is unstable. Ryan tells us he has no respect for Joshuah any more.

She cries to us, Matt offers a hug which she refuses. Now she's crying to Ryan. Ryan knows it's just the reaction Joshuah wants. She thinks everyone is intimidated by her.

It's very easy to see that Joshuah stole a page from the Evel Dick School of Intimidation textbook.

Matt continues to play both sides while Adam picks at his butt. She tries to make Matt and Ryan feel guilty about not defending her.

Time for the HOH room. Allison goes to bed and avoids it all. My gosh, all of Sharon's siblings have the same nose! Her doggie is so cute! They gave her a pic of Jacob and herself. At least she didn't go Jen on us. Joshuah got a Princess of the Day tiara which was something from his office.

Joshuah isn't mad at Sheila about the lesbian lie but says Allison was constantly feeding the lie. He tells Ryan about the whole story with the adopted son and all. Then Chelsia tells Ryan, too. He's shocked at how stupid Allison is with the story.

When he confronts her, she blamed Sheila. She's being robotic about it as he tells her she's manipulative and no one likes or trusts her in the house. Now, this is the real relationship with these two -- not some phony love story BB was going to give us with the early promos for this episode!

Natalie is after Matt in bed. He doesn't want her to get emotionally attached to him. No guy has ever pushed her away before. Hmm... how many has she thrown herself on before?

It's food comp time. All of the girls are in green asparagus unitards. The guys have overall shorts on. Outside there is a set-up similar to a produce market. They have to pile up asparagus equal to the weight of their partners. Each team playes for a different food group. They must be within ten pounds of the weight. If no team wins anything, they get asparagus with their slop.

James and Chelsia won beverages and snacks for the week. Adam and Sheila won veggies and fruits for the week. Matt and Natalie didn't win carbs and a fest for the week. Ryan and Allison won meats and cheeses for the work. The whole house will have everything except for carbs and a feast.

Natalie is painting a picture of Joshuah in nail polish. I remember the days when they weren't allowed anything at all they could write with. She thinks it will shmooze him to favor her.

Allison went right after Joshuah. Of course, he has to pick on her looks. She criticizes his education and income, he goes after her looks. Sharon is just watching from the landing upstairs. Adam is ignoriring them, Sheila is looking uncomfortable.

Sharon thinks he should call a discreet meeting with everyone except Ryan and Allison. He tells them all she's trying to provooke him and he plans to ignore her. They all try to figure out who should go on the block with Allison and Ryan. Meanwhile, Ryan is with Allison upset at her.

Am I odd or does Allison look a bit Mary Tyler-Moore-like at times?

Ryan is not a happy guy even though Allison thinks she can work Joshuah and flip him back to her side.

She then goes up to the HOH with Sharon and Joshuah for the odd grilling apology I reported the other day. He tells her about the lie and the gay working together bit. She tells us she didn't think he'd be affected by the story. He took it all personally because he's gay. "You know how much I love you," she tells him. He doesn't believe her at all and tells us so.

Nominations today and we get the background spiel again. Allison, for some bizarre reason, is worried that she'll go on the block. Adam hopes not to go up although he knows Allison is the target. Matt tells us he and Natlaie are strong physically, but Natalie isn't too bright. @@ (Neither is he!)

The key order is Adam/Sheila and James/Chelsia. On the block we have Matt and Natalie and Ryan and Allison. They say it's because they're the two strongest couples in the game. Allison just looks possessed, Matt is ticked off. Ryan blames Allison.

BB9: Live Feeds Blurb

The POV meeting has been held. As expected, Matt and Natalie took themselves off the block and Adam/Sheila were put up in their place. It still looks like a 2-0 vote to evict Allison (and Ryan).

I'll be live blogging tonight's show as it airs here on the east coast. A bit later tonight, there should be a full feeds report up over at TV Squad.

BB9: Live Feed Report Saturday Into Dawn Sunday 3/02


Nah, they're all asleep as I get this posted. But I didn't think you wanted a screen cap of the night vision sleeping scenes, right?

Here are the happenings from Saturday in that Big Brother House of Bros and Hos (I didn't say that, did I? Oh, my. I feel Mike Malin-ish!):
  • Sharon is sure she'll be in the final three because "people feel comfortable around her."
  • Matt is still leading Ryan on that there's a chance he will stay. Ryan is eating it up, making plans for the next eviction and all.
  • Natalie, like Amber before her, had a vision she would win POV ... and then it came true.
  • Sharon thinks Matt is sucking up to her and wants to hide so she doesn't have to deal with him. She thinks he's an idiot. (Well, yeah!)
  • Allison, who the other day said Joshuah wasn't stable, today says Sheila isn't stable. Now, if you ask me, I don't think any of them are stable. I'm probably not too stable myself, but I'm not on the internet and television exposing myself to the world. Well, except in writings, that is.
  • James told Adam that he has to cover the Brawny tattoo with band-aids because it has the C word and motherbleeper.
  • Why would anyone want those words permanently dyed into their skin?
  • Allison cried because she talked to Sheila about why she was distancing herself from her (Sheila away from Allison) and she's just so darn hurt and misunderstood!
  • Natalie said that Allison told her Sheila couldn't be trusted but then told Sheila she's the only one she trusted.
  • Allison thinks James and Chelsia will go up on the block in place of Mattalie, but Sheila told her she's pretty sure it will be Adam and herself.
  • Allison thinks her parents and brother will be waiting to attack Joshuah for her.
  • Allison tried to make up with Sheila.
  • Allison told Ryan that if James and Chelsia go on the block against them, she can't campaign against them.
  • The womens' periods in the house seem to have clicked in to all start at the same time. Lucky guys, eh? ;-)
  • Chelsia said that Natalie asked her why she didn't volunteer to go on the block. Chelsia, thinking rather straight, thinks it would be crazy to volunteer to ever go on the block.
  • Allison offered James a carton of cigarettes and a week of her stipend to vote for her to stay. He shook on the deal. We'll see.
  • Allison wants to set up Sheila with her father. Yikes, to do that to your father...! And, it must make Sheila really feel part of the gang!
  • Allison thinks America has a lot to do with this season. She says there are three lifelines -- save a couple, bring a couple back, evict a couple. It's the first I've heard of this.
  • Ryan is not campaigning ... again.
  • Allison asked Adam if he was going to stick to their deal to not vote herself and Ryan out. He didn't give her a direct answer. He told her if he and Sheila go on the block, then Ryan and Allison will be voted out.
  • Allison kept trying to instigate Joshuah into another confrontation. She kept at him about why he was so angry with her ... on and on and on and on.
  • Allison tried to get Ryan to confront Joshuah, but he didn't.
  • Allison thinks she's had more TV air time than anyone in the house because she's been involved in every argument. I ask you ... would that be considered a good thing?
  • James suggested a "circle jerk" while Chelsia and Allison moan. Um, are these kids 14 or what?
  • Before BB yelled at her to stop, Sheila said that she signed a contract until the end of April, then received an email extending things to the end of May. So, they're not sure how long the season will last.
  • Matt is still acting like he's working with Ryan. He told Ryan that he has to control Allison's mouth. Oh, yeah. Like that can be done! After all, she's proud that she's been in every argument in the house!
  • James and Chelsia smooched. He told her he wishes he had more to offer her outside the house. Hmm ... maybe a sidecar for his bicycle?
  • Chelsia put make-up on Matt.
  • HOH room discussion had James and Sharon talking about how secure Ryan and Allison feel when they're the target.
  • Ryan tried to tell Allison that she needs to lay low this week -- he thinks he can get James' vote if he tells him he has Matt's.
  • Joshuah told Natalie and Sheila that he thinks Allison will be portrayed as the villain in the house.
  • James gave Chelsia a hickey on the neck. She's not too happy with that.
  • Allison sucked up to James telling him how level-headed he's been throughout the game and how hard it is for her to be with everyone.
  • Another smoochy show went on for Showtime.
  • Sheila is worried that Allison will convince people to change their votes.
  • Joshuah said that Allison is trying to sell her soul for votes.
  • Natalie and Joshuah made tinfoil hats, shades of Chicken George. Oh ... some normalcy in the house! ;-)
  • The boys (James and Matt) masturbated to the sound of Chelsia and Allison talking. @@
  • Mind you, this is in time for the ShoToo BBAD show. I guess they think it's good television.
  • Lots of sex talk, too.
  • And, gee ... it all ended when the BBAD show finished and they all went to bed where they are still asleep.

Off Topic: The Return of Roofus the Cat

It was a very brief, but very welcome sighting of Roofus the Cat yesterday. The photo quality is a bit off as I no sooner saw him and he was on the move. But Roofus the Cat is alive and well, getting some sun on the rooftop once again. I'll have a BB9 live feeds report for you soon!

BB9: Live Feeds Friday Night into Saturday - 3/01


Celebration in the HOH room last night after Matt and Natalie won POV. Actually, they were kind of fun to watch trying to jump quietly with glee.

Here's what's been happening in the House of Idiocy:
  • The POV comp was a mix of physical and puzzle-solving from what they've said. It also had something to do with art. One partner had to swing another one around as they did the puzzle. Adam and Sheila did horribly leaving the real competition between the other three couples.
  • Allison was claiming to have it done before anyone and the others think she will protest the Natalie/Matt win. She says the instructions weren't clear and she didn't know you could rearrange it. Natalie had dropped a piece, then fixed it which seems to be her bone of contention.
  • Allison thinks that Joshuah and Sharon will put up James and Chelsia in Mattalie's place on the block. She thinks that will happen because James/Chelsia are surely a vote for her to stay. @@
  • She also thinks Matt and Natalie will vote for her to stay.
  • Joshuah and Sharon told Adam that he's safe and they plan to put him and Sheila up. Sheila tried to convince Matt that putting James and Chelsia up would be better. She says Allison is sure Sheila will vote for her to stay.
  • Matt assured Sheila he had her back. She told him she'd never vote him out.
  • Matt then worked the other side by going to Ryan to convince him that he wants him to stay. Well, he might want Ryan, but the entire house is anti-Allison.
  • Allison told Adam that if the vote is 2-0 for them to leave, they've lost her vote in the jury.
  • Allison told Matt that there's no way Chelsia will vote her out because "she's my girl."
  • Allison really seems to think that she has a chance to stay, but the rest of the house is rejoicing an easy week with a sure eviction -- Operation Gardener in motion.
  • They had a nice sit-down dinner with wine.
  • Allison told Ryan that she has "tons of stuff on Sheila" she could use against her but she won't play that card. Um, okay.
  • Chelsia, Allison, and James got all kissy in the hot tub. Then Matt started kissing Sharon. Would it surprise you that the timing coincided with the start of the BBAD show on ShoToo? I really wish they would be told that was canceled so they don't just put a show on for it.
  • Matt said that Amanda started the rumors that Natalie had um, gone down, and it wasn't true.
  • The house majority laughed about how Allison was sure she's not going home this week.
  • James and Chelsia got all touchy-feely under the covers.
  • All are asleep as I get this posted.
