The show has started here on the East Coast. This entry will be constantly updated as it airs. Please forgive any typos as this is being typed on the fly as I watch my television. As always, comments are very welcome!
My live feed report has gone up over on TV Squad, but the show is ON!
Julie is in tan again with a black blazer ... no boots and summer color shoes.
We're recapping, of course. Sharon is nominated in B&W again and the meeting is officially adjourned. Sharon feels pretty safe, loves Josh, will be hard for him to be gone. Sheila thinks Sharon and Josh have bonded emotionally. Natalie hopes Josh can't get the votes on his own so she doesn't have to be the executioner. She tells him she doesn't want to be the tie-breaker. He wonders if she'll keep her word.
Josh does his crying act to get Adam's sympathies. He wants to eat, cry, cry. Adam is indeed receptive. Joshuah tells us that he can cry on cue and would be a great soaps actor. He definitely does it better than I can. Adam is totally buying the act.
In the pool with James and Natalie nearby, she tries to secure her safety. James says he doesn't owe anybody anything, but will talk to her when the time comes. She doesn't know if Josh will keep her word.
Natalie tells Sharon that Josh is trying to make a deal with her to keep him in a tie. She tells Sharon she will keep her. They go to Sheila. Sharon tells her James and Josh are trying to get her out of the house. Sharon won't start drama with the guys, but the girls decide to stick together. Natalie tells us if she wants to keep the girl power together, she has to go to Adam and Ryan to make sure they vote out Joshuah.
Ryan is worried that Sharon will put him on the block if she stays. Ryan doesn't trust her, but we know he has an alliance with Josh. Natalie tells Sharon that Ryan doesn't trust her. Sharon tells Ryan she's never been gunning for him, but Joshuah and James are.
Sharon tells Ryan she has his back. Ryan tells us she could be a good ally and is a very trustworthy person. He tells her it's done. Natalie goes for Adam pushing the Sharon agenda, as in keep Sharon. She warns him not to tell James or Joshuah. Ryan, Natalie, and Adam plan to evict Joshuah out but fake they aren't.
James and Joshuah talk by the pool. James is shocked that Natalie told Josh she would vote to keep him. Josh's mom in a letter segment.
Sheila tells us she wants to bond with Sharon. Ryan also talks about keeping Sharon. Huh ... when it's that blatant in the DR voting thought previews, it usually flips in the real vote. They like to lead us astray. However, last week the preview vote DRs were all against Chelsia and it was unanimous for her to go. I don't think the total animosity of the house is as against Josh. We'll see!
Julie checks in with the HG. They scream with delight. She asks Sheila about her toughts about James -- intelligent, playing a good game and gave her good advice. James tells her he wanted to succeed in pumping her up. Adam, witnessing tears, how has he stayed calm. He just has a level head. Joshuah comments on never talking to Julie. Struggles -- hard to campaign against such a great person. He doesn't want to stoop that low. Sharon still loves him, best friends outside the house. Natalie had to yell bye Julie at the end.
Joshuah's Mom -- Josh is Josh, always been the life of the party, she's never seen the outbursts, think it's an act. She's never heard him use language like that. Sometimes she just wants to wring his neck, it's embarrassing, he's not like that. She says it has to be his strategy. HIs parents seem like good people and Josh attended proms, played football and such in school.
Adam thinks Sharon will turn the girls against the guys. But he also wants Josh to leave. James wants him to stay. And it's commercial time!
HOH room with Nat talk -- looking at Matt's picture? Good times and memories and how she misses him. She thinks Mattie was ecstatic about Chelsia being sent there. She says Matt's not her boyfriend, so he can do what he wants. Closest ally now is Ryan. The letter from home, brought the family closer together ... God used to tell her she would keep the family together.
Nominees talk. Sharon is thankful, if it's her time to go, fine, but if not she'd be happy to stay. Joshuah says it's dsfunctunctional and as much as he hates them, he loves them. Rooller coaster ride, one more turn please.
The voting:
Sheila votes to evict Joshuah
Ryan votes to evict Joshuah
Adam votes to evict Joshuah
James votes to evict Sharon
Its official 3-1, Joshuah is evicted. Into commercial before telling him.
Josh gives them an inspirational speech about being true to themselves. He urns down a hug from Natalie. Sharon is hysterical. He gives Julie a big smile. If Sharon doesn't get her act together she has no chance in HOH. James is looking like a deer in the headlights.
Josh tells Julie he's really a good person and he didn't want to go out with a bang like Chelsia. He thinks he was voted out because he's stronger than Sharon. Julie brings up his mean side. He says he was provoked because they were mean to others. He stands up for the rights of everyone else. The acting ability ... he always wanted to be on soap operas. He's proud of himself.
James goodbye -- he did have his back. Tears, other people broke word. Ryan thinks he did too much damage in past. Nat loves him (fake gunshot to head), Sharon will fight in his honor, will have vengeance in his name. He's pro James and Sharon.
HOH comp -- Booths in the yard. Counting everything in the house. The comp is "More or Less" -- things around the house. Adam looks upset.
More or less than 25 table lamps - less. Sheila got it wrong, all others apoint
more or less 30 tree trunks in DR -- Sharon and James get a point
75 pillows -- 87 Sharon, Sheila and Adam get a point
37 total picture frames in house -- more 40, all wrong
Shraon in lead with three points
logs in fireplace, all right
119 mirros! I know this one! Sharon, James and Adam tield for lead.
Pullout drawers
ADAM won HOH again. Amazing. Sharon and Natalie are all over him within moments. I think the nominations can be predictable... I say Sheila and James! Somebody and James! Anybody and James. I think he's sure to nominate James and hopes he puts Sheila up there.
Graphic artist Zoetawny addresses the question on all of our minds. What will Natalie do if there's a tie vote tonight? She's lied to both of them and it's impossible to know which one she'd choose. The entire Girls Alliance thinks she's voting to keep Sharon. Ryan and Natalie have a deal with Joshuah to save him.
I really think she must be praying it won't be a tie and she won't have to be the tiebreaker. But I'd like to see it happen if for no other reason I want to know who she'd pick. There are good reasons for her to choose either of them.
Here's what has happened in that Big Brother House of Temper Tantrums since I last reported:
- After the HOH camera and a feeds block, they all looked incredibly bored. At least when there's a brouhaha, this crowd is interesting!
- They played cards and lazed about the backyard.
- Natalie painted a picture of a mermaid. I can SO see her selling all of these on Ebay, can't you? Or trying to sell them.
- Natalie and Adam ate pizza. James ate ketchup.
- Sheila asked for her Tylenol PM saying she wanted to sleep in her own bed tonight. Remember, she's terrified of Joshuah and got permission to sleep in the HOH with Natalie.
- After telling her he'd follow her every moment to make sure she's not trashing him, Joshuah has stopped following Sheila around and they've even joked.
- Joshuah went through his clothes to select what he wants to wear for the live show.
- James told Joshuah he's on board for tomorrow.
- Adam and Ryan discussed how Joshuah will leave. Adam thinks he'll flip out. Ryan thinks he will go gracefully. Adam thinks that Sharon will put James on the block if she stays. Ryan tells him they have to keep Sharon.
- Natalie dyed James' hair for him.
- James talked to Natalie once again about working with her. (He hasn't learned? After all, it worked so well the last time, she put him on the block and targeted him for eviction!)
- Natalie told him she'd vote to keep Joshuah if there's a tie. She said that if Adam gets HOH, he'd put Joshuah and James back on the block. Natalie also told James that Ryan is the only one she trusts in the game. James said he has trouble trusting Ryan because he backdoored him.
- Natalie told James that they have to keep their alliance secret or it won't work. @@ (I say secret because when she betrays him there isn't an audience to what's been said like when Sheila does these things!)
- Sharon and Joshuah talked. She said if she stays, she wants to go to the end and if he stays, she wants him to go to the end.
- Sharon told Joshuah he can't believe anything said until the votes come in.
- James and Natalie don't want to see Sheila win. (Then get her out of the house!)
- Natalie said next week will be crucial and they have to keep it on the down low that she and Ryan are working with Joshuah and James. The targets? Well, who's left? Heh. That is, if it's not all a lie.
- Sheila asked James why his mohawk is pink. He told her that American Apparel suggested it -- they have a lot of pink clothes and he also gets things from the American Cancer Society who thinks there's a link to breast cancer awareness with the pink.
- I still think he's just the geek in the pink.
- Sharon started trashing James and Joshuah to Sheila. The pigs must have taken flight because Sheila told Sharon she swore on her son to Joshuah that she wouldn't talk about him. :::thud:::
- They changed their talk to how the house is affecting Joshuah. Sharon says he's a Negative Nancy right now with all the stress.
- Sharon wants Sheila to win HOH and be the one to send James home.
- Ryan apparently got reamed by the BB voice for smoking at the pool table. The feeds were blocked, but he said no one has yelled at him like that in the house since he entered it.
- James roamed the night, snacking on condiments, dancing, playing solo chess, gazing at the Memory Wall.
- All are asleep as I post this.
Zoetawny leaves us with a banner plane dropping Natalie some 9's. After all, she's anticipating James will go on the 9th.
Forget those sevens and eights. Bring on the nines, she says!

Recap, the nominations ceremony all over again. And again, this time in black and white ... of course. It's Day 50. James thinks he'll be nominated each week unless he wins HOH. Joshuah thinks James is the real target. Natalie says James is her target -- she will send him not only to Chelsia, but to Mattie.
James feels he's on an island and it's taken an emotional toll. Sharon and Ryan think that James will go home. Ryan says if James doens't win POV, Joshuah is good. But then Sheila is telling James he should win POV. What's with that woman? She says it's her gut saying she will stay. Uh-oh, James thinks it means a lot to him.
Ah, but then she pep talks Joshuah. But James hears her lying! She is rallying evryone. Zippidee doo dah says Natalie trying to hush Sheila as James enters. "I'm the annoying houseguest who won't leave." -- from James.
Sheila tells Joshuah that James is a scary player and everyone wants him out of here. James walks in and catches her again. Now Sheila is saying how she's gald he heard it. Ryan and Adam seem to be disinterested in the long run with her.
James and the music ... he confronts her and mentions they said she feels better now. He calls her a twop-faced bitch. WOW. He was shaking all over. Although he can be scary, Sheila deserved to be caught in her lies, I think. She keeps doing this and needs to be called out on it. "Lying sack of ..." Of course, the black bikini underwear didn't help him much, nor the pink mohawk.
Now James is ranting at Natalie. He tells Natalie he doesn't have anyone to play with. He's losing his voice. "Let me be frustrated at her. What a two-faced bitch." Adam read the bible and stays out of it. Sheila isn't in the room. Whoops Adam is here ... you gunning for me, bro? That was odd. Adam yelled about them gunning for him and now it's cool, he'll go back to the bible.
Joshuah and James are in the kitchen. Josh tells James that today it got her -- he's told her she has to stop playing everyone in the house. James has real tears. It meant a lot to him when Sheila told him how much she supported him and then to be shooting him down behind his back.
He's crying, the first time since his dad died. I think his age is showing now. He's right -- they all want him out and he is all alone.
Veto player picking time. James is getting into his mental warrior zone where he needs to win, win, win. Nat chose HG choice. Joshuah chose Sheila's name, James got Sharon. Adam was funny on the couch waiting to be picked for host.
The backyard has small mini-replicas next to bigger items. BB Boardwalk, crazy objects from BB past and present. The answers are amounts. They can stay or fold. Folding you remain in the game. Confidence in answer can go to poiint, must be closest to real answer. First player to three points, POV.
The letter blocks -- how many blocks in cage? 992, Natalie won point. Joshuah and Sharon out in the first round.
The veto peace pins -- 930 - Ryan gets it, Natalie's out.
Tub of lard -- Sheila got it because James and Ryan folded.
Rubber balls in gumball machine -- Heh ... both folded and James got the point.
Links in chain -- Sheila and Ryan folded again, James in lead for POV. Again Ryan would have had it but folded.
Joshuah is staring at his feet.
Popcorn -- How many pounds in both big containers. 49 -- James had said 54 and Ryan 75. Sheila folded and was way off. James wins the POV!
Joshuah is sure he's over with ... the funeral is over and he just needs to be put in the ground.
James is doing a veto dance. He's happy again. But Joshuah is crying. Aww. He thinks that they'll put up Sharon. She's the saint and he's the sinner. Sharon tells us she cares about him. He tells her he wants to be left alone.
Natalie tells Sharon that she can't put up anyone from her side so she has to put her up. "I am the ultimate pawn." Now both Sharon and Joshuah are teary.
Ryan visits Sheila. Natalie keeps wondering why James has nine lives. She smiles even when she's upset. Joshuah tells Sharon and Sheila that he won't run around pressuring people. Sharon cries. Joshuah asks Sheila to take care of Sharon. More tears.
Ohhh... toilet cam! Sharon crying. Sheila pep talks her. And it's dawning on Joshuah that he should try to stay. He visits Natalie. He's asking her for one more week. He thinks he might get James and Ryan if she will break the tie. She agrees, then looks confused.
Sheila is still trying to calm down Sharon. Ryan thinks he and James will vote for Joshuah. He asks James, he agrees ... says they can't tell Sheila and Adam. Back to Ryan, Nat, and Joshuah -- Joshuah will protect them both. Two weeks, deal.
James is ready to d the veto meeting. Joshuah says he's had one philosopphy -- win comps and stay in the game. He lest himself down and doesn't deserve to be saved. Interesting sppech. He tells Sheila she can win comps if she puts her mind to it.
No surprise, she puts Sharon up because she wants to keep her side safe.
Meeting adjourned.
Confrontational, yet inspirational speech. Sheila is impressed. Hmmm...
Interesting contrast with Sharon and Joshuah reactions. She's thinking mothering him while he's thinking of getting her out of the house instead of himself.
My latest live feeds report is up over on TV Squad. I'll be live blogging tonight's show when it starts here, then a full review/recap over on TVS later this evening. Alas, Hell's Kitchen starts tonight and since I'm doing the TVS review of BB, I feel I must record it in case I miss something. That means I can't watch/record HK! Hopefully they'll have it online.
A few folks mentioned live feeds in the sequester house. I'm not sure where that's coming from, but I haven't seen anything about it that looks official. Usually the only cameras they have on sequester are the ones when new folks arrive. I don't think we'll be seeing live feeds there.
Later!
I want Sheila out, really I do. Yeah, I know she's not on the block. But her non-stop talking, repeating things she's repeated before, her crying, her smugness that she knows it all because she's 45, the constant single mom references, the sound of her voice ... it's all too much!
Thanks go to Zoetawny for the banner plane!
Here are the evening and overnight happenings in the Big Brother House of Aggravation:
- Adam bought Joshuah's hysterics act. He told Sharon to please go talk to him because he's feeling so isolated.
- They had a long talk. During the talk Sharon told him that Sheila said Adam claims to just be there for fun as he has money.
- She also told him Natalie has no debt. She (Sharon) owes a lot and would pay her debts with the winnings.
- James thinks Natalie and Sheila are getting way too cocky.
- Sheila told Ryan she needs to win HOH or she'll be gone. I think she says those things just to put herself in the center of attention.
- The Girls Alliance seems to be together on the down low. (Don't ya love it when I can use expressions like down low?)
- Sharon thinks James will be bitter even if he wins.
- Sheila thinks James is jealous because Adam would donate money to autism. @@
- James told Joshuah he'd be thrown under the bus for helping him.
- Sheila told Adam they have to stick together. (Hey, I thought they weren't a couple according to Sheila yesterday?!?)
- Sharon told Ryan she's getting upset because Sheila is acting like she's won the game already.
- Joshuah made Easter candy he can't eat because he's on slop.
- BB gave them some cards, checkers, and craft stuff to keep them occupied. (I think they pick this stuff up at a dollar store!)
- Natalie slept through all the excitement of stuff to do.
- They had fun with the modeling clay -- Sheila made a turtle, James made an alien.
- Natalie woke up and wanted to sculpt ... not a surprise.
- Heh. Joshuah likened Sheila to the Crypt Keeper due to her skin and said she should wear one-piece bathing suits, not bikinis.
- Natalie made a girl with the clay. Ryan made a boy. Ain't that sweet?
- Joshuah went on an anti-Sheila mini-tirade to James and Sharon.
- Ryan and Sheila talked about faking an injury so they could go to the hospital and eat some real food. (Real food at a hospital? They must be desperate!)
- Natalie painted a picture of a pin-up girl. (A self portrait?)
- James wants the HOH to be physical this week because he thinks he does better at the physical ones.
- Adam is running out of cigarettes.
- James roamed the night once again. All are in bed as I post this.
