The reigning head of house, Jordan, got White Castle sliders (amongst other things) in her HOH room.
Notice the contrast in expression between Kevin and Michele as they do their HOH room reveal visit. I can't decide whether Kevin is looking like a deer in the headlights or a dead man walking. Meanwhile, Michele is more certain of her place in the house even though her HOH reign was abbreviated.
Here are the late night happenings from inside that Big Brother House of the Real Trouble with Tribbles:
- Kevin continues to look absolutely miserable most of the time. Is he missing Jessie? Is he missing Chima? Nope. He's missing the game he could have played, methinks.
- He's very carefully trying to follow Jeff's advice to not push the drama yet scheme to save his own butt in the house.
- Natalie is all about the scheming. She got over her Chima love on rapid order, but is still enamored with her main man The Man, The Myth, the Legend ... Mr. Pec-tacular.
- Lydia, albeit a new superhero on the scene (Captain Unitard), has decided bad behavior, anti-social actions, and the crazy card will be her latest approach to the game. She's now playing to get the boot.
- Jordan is leaning towards a Natalie/Lydia nomination.
- Natalie, Lydia, and Kevin realize this.
- What they don't realize is that Jordan, Jeff, Michele, and Russell may lean more to keeping the crazy card in the house while getting rid of the pit bull.
- Jordan volunteered to go on the Hawaii trip with Jeff if he needs someone. Y'know, he just might take her. They're a cute couple. Of all of the romances and showmances I've seen on the show, Jordan and Jeff just seem to click so well together.
- Natalie and Kevin have moved the chessboard and are using candy and dates to study for comps.
- Lydia withdrew from the world.
- I guess Lydia is closed.
- I must admit -- I loved her "Lydia is closed" expression. Although she definitely has issues, I've stolen that and have been waiting to say "Jackie is closed" when I have ten employees calling my name at the same time in my workplace.
- Jeff is as happy as Jordan with Jordan being HOH. Aw, too sweet.
- Jordan thinks it's great that everyone who was nice (and played well with others) got a nice prize in yesterday's comp while the "mean person" got the unitard.
- Lydia was in bad behavior mode during the comp. In addition to the prizes I mentioned before Kevin got $5,000 while Russell got a spa visit.
- At different times Jordan and Jeff talked game with Russell and Michele separately. Both Russell and Michele want to cast a bit of suspicion about each other with the reigning couple.
- I think Jordan and Jeff realize that both Russell and Michele can be a bit sketchy in their own ways. I think Jeff and Jordan really only trust each other.
- They both want to give the impression that Lydia's a done deal this week.
- But she's not. Natalie is unless she wins POV.
- Lydia remained under the covers and refused to go to the HOH reveal.
- I think that might be against the rules. I know they've been told in the past that everyone must go (even if they're miserable).
- Natalie is trying to fit in with Jeff and Jordan, but thinking of 1001 ways to scheme on the side.
- In Jordan's letter from home, she got scolded by her mother for cursing.
- Jordan told everyone they're welcome to come up to the HOH room, use the shower, nap, whatever. Yep, even Natalie is welcome.
- Unlike Lydia and Chima, Natalie and Kevin are each trying to play the game. I'll give them credit for that.
- Kevin thinks that if it gets down to it, Jeff won't take Jordan to the end because he'd lose to her -- she's so sweet and everyone likes her.
- Kevin also said that if he wins POV, he'll take Lydia off the block. Natalie is planning to win it herself.
- Has Natalie won anything?
- Natalie is sure that Jeff convinced Michele to put Chima on the block.
- Russell told Jeff that he's sincere about the fact he'd be thrilled with a Jeff win this season. He said he owes still being in the house to Jeff.
- Well, yeah Russell.
- Both Jeff and Russell agreed they'd get a bit ill if Natalie, Lydia, or Kevin were to win the season.
- Jordan had a good cry about missing her family with Jeff there to listen to her. He said he found it refreshing.
- I wish they'd stop portraying Jordan as a total dummy on the show. While she isn't all that book-smart at times, she really has to be one of the NICEST hamsters ever in the house.
- Jordan thanked Jeff for letting her win HOH. He said she earned the win.
- Kevin proposed to Natalie (oh, not marriage ... sheesh!) that they try to come up with a final four deal with Jordan and Jeff.
- They can't approach either Russell or Michele, so they can only deal with Jordan and Jeff.
- I don't think it will work.
- I don't think they seriously think it will work either.
- Natalie told Kevin not to ever admit to a lie. I suppose that's why she believes her own lie about what happened in the green room.
- Natalie needs to stop shoving food in her mouth and leaving her mouth open when she chews.
- Monday will be nominations and the Have Nots start. Lydia, Kevin, and Russell will be the Have Nots for the abbreviated week.
- The latest lie scheme is that Kevin is going to tell Jeff he's betraying the girls (Natalie and Lydia) and teaming up with them. He's going to convince Jeff and Jordan that he's not after them -- he wants Russell out while Natalie is targeting Michele.
- Um, okay. Is that the best you got?
- BB told Kevin and Natalie the chess board must go back upstairs and the dates must be removed. I guess they'll have to depend on their minds.
- Oh, that's a scary thought.
