Big Brother Craze

And the players have been picked, though they haven’t begun to play as of yet. Click after the Spoiler Graphic, and see who’s playing! I’ll update with the winner as soon as I know.

(more…)

After the pretty, pretty graphic!

(more…)

Let the lying and story-telling commence. (Not very spoilery, it’s just Allison trying to save her ass.)

Its funny how this is everyone else’s fault, not Allison’s, and “from the get go” and “from day one” and she’s “totally loved” everyone, and she “doesn’t know what’s wrong” and “all she’s going to say to you” and she’s “telling you this right now”….

Now it’s Ryan’s fault because they’re not really a couple, there’s a huge disconnect. Yeah, a disconnect because you won’t let him do anything, or say anything. She’s lying about the only reason they flopped and voted out Alex and Amanda was because it was what the house wanted because Adam and Sheila wouldn’t switch. He wanted to keep Matt and Natalie. She just went along with him. (rolls eyes)

Watch her talk - she has a HUGE tell, no wonder she lost so much money gambling. Allison plays with her hair every time she’s deliberately lying, or panicking. This whole thing is a last ditch effort to save her ass - Josh isn’t buying any of it, AND since there are no flames through this whole thing? She’s lying her ass off. Josh said he didn’t say what she’s been accusing him of, that they played back the entire fight and it was not said, and that is why he is still there. And HE offered to stay five feet away from her, not the producers. They said “keep your distance for a while” and he said “how many feet? Five?” and they went with that.

I understand it’s a game that lying is a big part of how to play and get to the end. Problem is, she is pathological about it, and starts to believe her own bull, and that’s when things go awry. She cannot take it when people come back to her with her OWN LIES, and she can’t dig her way out of it.

People she’s thrown under the bus: Sheila, Ryan, BB, the DR.
Cards played repetitively: Hospital card.

Be smart Josh and Sharon - don’t buy into any of this.

here’s the vids:

The gist of it is - she’s doing her best to save her ass, period. I give her points for trying? But if they fall for it, I’ll lose all respect for Sharon’s gameplay. Allison rolled over on EVERYONE in this conversation, it’s evident she’ll do it to them (again) as soon as she has the chance.

They’re still rehashing - Josh was called to DR, Allison asked for a hug, he gave it to her - I’d give anything to be a fly on the wall for that DR session….

Is it the return of the Unitards? And is Mattie wearing anything under his apron?

More After the pretty spoiler button…

(more…)

Line of the morning goes to Ryan! “Allison is in the DR having her wound cleaned before anymore salt gets into them!”

Everyone is up, and most notable is Allison, who’s already doing her best to spin last nights events into her favor, her version of the truth. She told Josh “You really had me going, I almost believed you. You’re a great actor!” Josh replied with a grunted “Whatever.” and walked away. His plan is currently to give her the silent treatment for a while. Allison will retell this story 18gazzilion times over the course of the next few days, so we certainly haven’t heard the end of it, I’m just telling you know, like, because you know what I mean, like, I guarentee it! (Yeah, that sound you heard is my eyes rolling. Again.)

The houseguests are waiting for the Food Competition to start, and I’m off for a nap. I’ll post spoilers here for what, who, where, when, whatever as soon as I wake up again.

–
Currently, Food comp in progress. Is it wrong that I hope they put Allison on Slop? Yeah? Whoops.

Anyway - See what happens when I go take a nap? Joshuah and Allison get into it again. And you know, again? She (with Sheila’s help with the ‘he really wants to be your friend..) started it. He just flung it back at her. The woman is freakin NUTS. She also kept pushing the 5 foot thing, HOW can the five foot rule, NOT affect her? She knows exactly what set him off, she knows exactly what she’s doing, and she refuses to let anyone argue with her. The minute they disagree, she jumps in and won’t let them talk. And SHE threatened him, again, this time. He has not broken any rules. She needs to put her pretty degree to work and reread them.

Seriously, the girl is wacked and needs a serious reality check.

Here’s the clip of the whole thing.

Josh and Sharon then called everyone except Ryan and Allison up to the HOH room to discuss best case and worst case scenarios. End decision is that they are putting Alison and Ryan up right away vs. backdooring them, because then they might still win pov and the whole thing backfire. So they’re putting them up against Natalie and Mattie, with everyone busting ass to ensure that Allison and Ryan do not win POV.

That might change, of course, but that’s the current plan. I’ll post spoilers as soon as it happens one way or the other. Look for the pretty button kids - I have a feeling I’ll be using it a LOT this week.

OH lawdy. Where do I begin? Somewhere after the last entry, hm? Allison says Josh got in her face and within 2 feet and threatened to strangle her and slit her throat and shook his key at her in a threatening manner. She’s complained to the DR, and threatened to sue and also indirectly threatened Joshuah by saying her brother and dad would kill him.

So - we’re all caught up there? Well, before we get to what happens next, I want to remind everyone that when she says that SHE saved Amanda from joshuah hitting her but dragging him off - she neglects to mention what the rest of us saw, her dancing and jumping and laughing with him inside the house directly after, about 2 minutes before she turned on the “aw, poor Amanda” charm and comforted her. Ok? Ok.

So here’s what happens next. - tons of Vids, so it’s after the cut!

(more…)

…and Allison ain’t happy. She’s already shifted blame from herself (the only one she SHOULD blame, of course) to Matt - telling him that by protecting him she’s messed up her game, and now if he wins POV he has to take her off the block period. He says it’s all his fault, and then says she’s going to push Josh until he hits her and gets ejected from the game. She adds that she’d never ALLOW Ryan to talk talk to a woman the way Josh talked to her before. (Can you hear my eyes rolling? Can you? because they SO ARE…)

She’s complaining that the game wasn’t fair because to eliminate other players is wrong (…has she WATCHED this show before?) and that she had the right answer just was 2 seconds behind Sharon (You snooze you loose…) THEN she sends Sheila in and tells her to watch her (Allisons) stuff so that Josh and Sharon don’t mess with it.

Gee. Sore loser much, Allison? If I wasn’t already irritated with her, I’d definitely be so now.

Sharon and Josh are packing their stuff - James and Chelsia are smart and are not going to sleep in the “cursed bed” (Parker/Jen then Amanda/Alex) and are taking over Josh/Sharon’s couch instead. Josh is beyond excited, as is Sharon, and I’m excited for them! It’s going to be a good week for Josh/Sharon and my favorites James/Chelsia. We know Allison/Ryan will be the prime target, and probably Matt/Natalie as well.

It’s gonna be a hella week, folks! Spark up the feeds, the drama is not gonna stop anytime soon, though Sharon is trying to get Josh to keep a lid on it until Nominations, at least. Sharon has a good head for the game - she tempers Joshuah well. Hope she can keep him calm for the week!

So - what do YOU think will happen this week? What do you think of Allison’s whining? Is there anything that she can do to save herself at this point or is everyone out to get her… Oh how I LOVE this GAME!

—

Oh lawdy, Allison didn’t waste any time! She went to the DR and complained that Joshuah threatened to slit her throat, said he slung his HOH key at her, and she wants him gone. She came out of the DR and Chelsia asked her if she was alright, she said no. She then cried to Ryan that she’s done, she doesn’t care, and her parents are probably asking why she’d put up with it and that Joshuah got TWO FEET (…..) from her face and called her names and slung the key at her face. (Two whole feet, huh, Allison? That’s right up in your face? O. M. G.)

Joshuah, meanwhile, was called directly into the DR after Allison - as he went by he said “Did ya get me kicked out? Wah wah wah..” with fake baby sounds. She didn’t say anything, just continued to the Bathroom and her whine to Ryan. Josh just came out and told Natalie and Sheila that he had to keep his distance - at least 5 feet - from her because she felt intimidated and said he was nuts and sincerely wants to kill her.

Joshuah is laughing it off - as are most of the others, and as am I. Here we thought Amanda was the drama queen… Sore loser, much?

It’s obvious that Big Brother takes such threats and such seriously, but come on. I can’t WAIT to hear what Evel Dick has to say about this tomorrow on House Calls. (grin)

More about this fight - Apparently ALLISON started it. From Jokers:

“Wed 6:50 PM BBT apparently allison started the fight earlier when feeds were down - Allison was in bathroom talking to sheila and josh walked through and allison said to josh I heard you called me a bitch and josh got mad and said no I called you a f”n bitch.”

Now, when Chelsia goes in to talk to her, not only is she crying foul, but she’s saying she will take the tapes (…wasn’t on the feed, and also wasn’t live… unless they show it on network - what tape is she going to get?) to a lawyer and sue him. Josh knows she can’t, as she they all signed the same contract, and it was in game. Here’s what she whined to Chelsia, again, from Jokers:

“Wed 8:54 PM BBT allison says josh is unstable and she has known alot of people who killed people who were unstable - raindrop110475
alli says unless there are serious reprecussions on josh then she walks out. She says she has a life out of this house unlike most of people in house and CBS said they wouldnt allow the cursing but they did. Chelsea says whole house went off on Josh and told him it was a bit much and all seeing him in different light. Allison says dont forget shes in jury house so she wont forget it. Also says what does she care what an unstable gay guy thinks of her. Alli also says sheila saying crap on her on TV today was wrong. Says she can take footage of Josh going off on her to Lawyer and sue him and she envisions her brother and father ready to tear into josh. and her family wondering why she would put up with it. Chelsea says u didnt vision anyone in house yellign at you and alli says they didnt come up and say slit throat or strangl;e and chelsea asks who was there and alli says no one. Chelsea says when we heard him yelling we took off he was out of contriol says when chelsea gets to her stature in life she will know it is different what u put up with. Alli says all shes doing in this house is helping too many people with her game play.”

Oh, and she’s also lost respect for Ryan because he didn’t jump to her defense. Um…. Anyway.

So, let me get this straight - Allison talking crap about everyone and their brother all week long is fine, but Sheila admitting she wasn’t happy about said talk on the Live show is wrong. And since when has CBS “not allowed cursing”? Ladies and Gentlemen, we have this season’s Whamber x 1000. And still - She started the fight, and also says no one was there. If something was getting out of hand, CBS would have stepped in and Josh would have been called to the DR right away, not AFTER Allison went and played victim. I hate, hate, HATE people playing the victim card. Makes it hell on folks who really are victimized to be believed, you know?

I hope she walks. I really hope she is the first DOR. Come on, Alli darlin, do us all a favor and walk out the door…

-:10 Hidy Ho, Hamster watchers! Setting up the post for tonight’s live show! I’ll be updating this post every commercial as we watch to see who is going to be evicted tonight - will it be Alex and Amanda or Mattie and Natalie? Place your bets - we’ve got 10 minutes to go!

:00 Previously on Big Brother… it’s recap time!

:02 Why hello there, Julie! Looking smashing as always in black and white. It’s day 21 and the house was rocked to the core as medical emergencies gave the houseguests perspective. This week HOH James and Chelsia shook things up by going back on their word, bu nominating Matt and Nattie, who are alongside their allies Alex and Amanda.

But first! Operation condor seemed a dun deal - but the pendulum always swings back and forth in the Big Brother house….

Cut to the POV ceremony as it’s adjourned. Josh says it was in their best interested to leave both strong couples on the block. James says operation condor is in effect, Adam and Ryan are on board. Alex says he doesn’t want to campaign against his friend Matt. Matt says he won’t just lay down and let people vote him out, he’ll do what he has to do to stay.

:04 It’s the enxt day, and Amanda tells Ryan that she has to make sure that she eats 5 times a day. She tells us she collapsed because of her low blood sugar. She says it’s still low and she’s watching what she eats to try and get her levels higher. Natalie says it was a day to realize they care about each other and it’s just a game.

:05 Cut to Adam and Mattie talking outside as it rains. Adam says he can help Mattie stay, and then one of them win HOH and it’s OWN. He says they can get Allison too. And it’s all bro talk and ‘I got you!’

:06 Mattie is helping Natalie work out and lift weights as Allison watches. She says it hit her that they’re very strong and it’s the perfect opportunity to get them out the door. She goes up and talks to James and Chelsia and puts forth the plan to get Mattie and Natalie out instead of Alex and Amanda who are on slop. Adam says he’s voting for Mattie to say, no matter what. He tells us he wants Condor to be a success. James says he could put Condor on hold and bring on operation Bro-Down and get Matt and Natalie out instead. Allison says she’s sure she can convince Ryan that it’ll be 2-1, which will get Matt and Natalie out of the house.

Matt and Natalie are talking in the Storage Room, and Matt is telling Natalie how to work the votes in their favor, that it’s up to her because they need Josh and Sharon. Natalie goes and talks to Sharon, and promises that they’ll be safe if they win HOH. She puts it forth to Joshuah too, and how they only need one more vote and she promises them they’ll never go up. Natalie tells us she has a special bond with Josh and Sharon and hopefully they’ll stick to their word.

Cut to Ryan and Allison on the Hammock, and he tells us that Alex and Amanda have been gunning for them since day one, and Allison tells us that Matt and Natalie are strong, way strong, and she wants them out. Ryan tells us that he needs to get Amanda and Alex out of here.

Coming up - will Alex and Amanda or Matt and Natalie be the ones to go tonight? Voting will be live.

In the DR, Sheila says that she’d miss Matt and Natalie and Adam agrees it would be good to have Matt and Natalie as their allies at this time.

:11 Commercial.

:14 Welcome back, it’s time to check in with the houseguests. Hello everyone! Julie welcomes Amanda and Allison back to the house and they’re glad they are ok. How does this affect the relationships in the house? Amanda says it was different, Alex and her have gotten closer and learned about each other, and everyone has a better relationship. Julie says it sounds like a big group hug. They agree.

Julie asks Sheila how things are right now between her and Allison since the blow up. She says they’re fine, and it was upsetting to find things being said behind her back, but it’s a game and you have to keep things to herself. She says the emergency did scare her and she wasn’t sure she was going to come back and was very afraid. Julie says James didn’t hesitate to jump in, and everyone claps, James admits she thought she was going to die, and he was scared and was ready to flip her over and give her CPR - afterwards he just wanted to sleep a couple days. Jiulie tells him Job well done. She asks Alex how it felt ot have her partner to come back, and he said it felt good, and as soon as she came back he was smiling and whatever she needed he was there.

Julie says on a lighter note - Matt what has live been like without drinking cups and hot water - Matt says it’s miserable, he says it was pretty upsetting, and he’s always miserable, but man the hot water really affected people and they were on edge, but they’re going to pull through. Julie goes back to Sheila and asks about the slop diet. She says she’s been on every diet and the Slop is the best one, she’s lost five pounds, and she thought it would taste like oatmeal, but it doesn’t it’s horrible!

:18 Coming up - James and Chelsia come from different worlds, but have the tightest bond in the house. How have they become such kindred spirits?

Sharon says in the DR that there are reasons Matt and Natalie should go, and Josh says he said hurtful things to Amanda and she’s just waiting for the right moment to turn on him.

:19 Commercial

:22 Welcome back! James travels the world on a bicycle, Chelsia is from Iowa - but their friends tell us why they may be a perfect fit.

Flash back to James and Chelsia getting to know each other. He says he’s currently ridden 7000 miles, and at Bar 107, his friend Brian says he was a regular and he’s family. He says the things he’s done at 21 are just amazing. Chelsia’s friend Jenny says Chelsia is very kindhearted but also knows when to get serious. She says James is someone she’d want to hang with, and Brian says James is very honest and straight forward. James says he wants to inspire people. Jenny says James is a great guy, Chelsia and James deserve to win the game, they’re playing an awesome game. Chelsia tells James tha she’ll follow him on his bike - but her’s will have a motor.

:25 Time to check in with James and Chelsia in the HOH bedroom. James, you promised Matt and Natalie you promised not to evict, but why promise if you didn’t intend to keep it. He says he thought he wouldn’t win HOH to be honest, but he had to put them both off. He blindsided him because he didn’t want to be vocal about it, and he knows he broke his word. Julie asks Chelsia if she has regrets, she says no but it did make it hard for other houseguest to trust them. James, you’ve enjoyed the freedom of bicycling around by yourself, how’s the house - james says he doesn’t like most of these people and he’s trying to break through their materialism, and he says he’d use the money to inspire people.

Chelsia, why have you connected so well? She says that she’s laid back, and loves the dive bars, and that’s why they’re connecting, she’s girly girl but can sit back and have a beer with the guys.

When we come back, the live voting begins. Ryan and Allison says they need A/A out because they put them up and they need them gone though M/N didn’t stick up for them and don’t have their respect in the game.

:28 Commercial.

:32 Welcome back, the live voting is about to begin. Time to talk to the Nominees. Each has a final chance to plead their case - remember, what you say now could make all the difference. Amanda says she’s had ups and downs and she’s sorry for hurting each one of them, and asks for another chance to stay in the house and play the game, even more for Alex because he hasn’t made any mistakes. Alex says he’s been family with everyone there, and he respects them for their decision, he loves everyone and hopes his trueness and being real will let them keep him.

Natalie says she’s thankful and blessed to be put there in the house with them all, and from the bottom of her heart, she doesn’t want to go back to the beaver state yet, she wants to stay, and thanks if you let her do that. Matt says everyone there is beautiful inside and out, and he’s been enjoying and knows it’s a wicked hard decision to make, and he’s nervous and thanks, he’ll see em on the outside, love you.

: 34 It’s time for the live vote to begin, They’ll enter to vote in a random order. If you are the first couple not to agree, you’ll be walking out tonight. Sheila and Adam are nup first. Adam has vowed to follow Operation Condor, but no secret Sheila and Adam rarely sees eye to eye. They vote to evict Amanda and Alex.

Joshuah and Sharon are next. Joshuah has regretted the way he has treated Amanda, will they save her and Alex? They vote to evict, unfortunately, Alex and Amanda.

Ryan and Allison are up. Well with two votes in, it is official, but let’s see who Ryan and Allison want out. They vote to evict Amanda and Alex.

:37 It’s time to reveal the results to the houseguests. Couples, the votes are in - you’ll only have a few moments to say goodbye and walk out the door. By a vote of 3-0, Alex and Amanda you have been evicted from the Big Brother House.

:38 Hugs all around, Amanda is crying, and they head to the door finally, and out to meet Julie.

:39 They greet Julie, as they talk in the house, and James says “Looks like we’re even, Matt!”

Julie talks to Alex first, and she asks why he’s been so vocal about Amanda, he says he was sticking with her no matter what, and put him in the position he is today. Julie tells Amanda that she campaigned hard — did you respect Alex’s decision not to campaign, Amanda says she thought they’d respect him for staying true to his word. They talk about Romance, and Julie asked if emotions got in the way of the game? Alex says no, after they had their little blowout, they decided to stick together in the game. It’s just unfortunate, but he has life outside of this.

Time for the goodbye messages. Allison says neither of them took any time to get to know her, and hurt her feelings. Ryan says that they had it out for them, so can’t say he’s unhappy. Joshuah says Amanda has energy an apologies once again, Natalie says she’ll miss them. Matt says Alex was his boy, he’ll avenge him and make sure everyone who sent him home will be gone.

:43 Coming up next, the HOH competition - who has what it takes to be the next Head of Household couple?

:44 Commercial.

:47 Welcome back, it’s time for HOH Competition.

The power is up for grabs. James and Chelsia can’t play, of course. Words of Love is tonights competition. It centers on the love quotes around the house. When you think you know the author, ring the buzzer. If you are the first and are correct, you will get to eliminate another player. Get it wrong, you are eliminated. Ladies you are first, and will continue until one remains, then it will be the Men’s tern. Last man and women standing will face off to determine the winner for their team.

1. Which author - the course of true love… Sharon, Shakespeare, she eliminates Allison.
2. Which author wrote, when the hard of others to your own. Sharon says Gerthe, correct, and Eliminates Sheila.
3. Which quote talks about loves in dreams… Sharon buzzes in with Dostrophske (Spelling?! Sorry!) Correct, and Sharon wins the ladies round.

It’s the men’s turn.
4. Which author asks If I love you what… Ryan chimes in and is wrong with Wilde.
5. Who proclaimed love is a battle field - it’s Pat Benatar, none of the above, and he takes out Matt.
6. This author says one always ends by deceiving others. Joshuah says Wilde - As Sharon won the women’s round, no face off is needed, and JOSH AND SHARON WIN HOH! WHOOOO!

How will the house change now that Josh and Sharon are the new HOH? Stay with us..

:51 Commercial.

:54 Welcome back, let’s talk to the new HOH! Congrats Josh and Sharon! They say it feels awesome, they studied the quotes and it paid off. Josh says he’s waiting to see pictures of his family. Sharon agrees, can’t wait to see pictures.

Matt - congratulations because Boston won over New York tonight - do you have any words for Alex? He says it’s not likely Boston and New York get along, but he and Alex just clicked.

Bye Julie!

:55 Who will be nominated? Find out Sunday, and see the POV on Tuesday, and don’t miss out on Wednesday, because the Evicted Couple will get a surprise that no one will see coming… and a new chapter in the game begins. (FINALLY!)

:56 Outside the BB house, goodnight!

—

Alrighty - Show is over. I’ll fill in the missing pieces when the show feeds went down when the show airs in my time zone, so that we have a complete recap. So -what do you think the twist will be? How will it change the game? My thought is that the evicted couple will get to choose one of the previously evicted houseguests and go back into the house as a couple - or they’ll all be broken up, and one of the evicted houseguests will rejoin the others, and everyone will play as singles from here on out. What about you?

It’s live eviction day for the Big Brother House, and things are hopping, like always! This time, however, we’re getting to see some of the last minute scramble to go on. After flames for a while, we’re back with Allison and Matt talking about how it’s going to be 3-0 for them, and now Sharon and Joshuah talking to Allison in the storage room, then J/S alone. Sharon’s freaking out a bit, and Josh is refusing to kiss Allison’s ass in order to keep Alex and Amanda.

Josh is standing firm that he won’t, and Sharon is still worried and wanting to cut a deal with someone, but they’re not sure what’s going on. Paranoia is high in the house tonight, kids! Josh is all “We just have to win HOH. that’s all.” Sharon is trying to work her mojo, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work. They leave the storage room for a last minute house search and quote memorization work.

Ryan/Allison, Matt/Natalie and Adam/Sheila are looking mighty confident… can Sharon pull off a last minute coup? Well find out soon…. just 2.5 hours till the live show!

This is what I feel like too, listening to Allison go on and on and on. Currently Alex is talking to her to try and figure out why she trusts Matt and Natalie, including the information that he’s been talking smack behind her back. James and Chelsia are letting them talk in the HOH room, and are staying there to back Alex up in his claim about Mattie, but are maintaining they are neutral in the whole thing.

Allison never lets Ryan talk, at all. Ever. She just keeps going and going and going.

She keeps saying it’s not personal, she doesn’t care what people have been saying about her, but you know - all she talks about is what people have been saying about her. It’s insane. How are the votes looking right now? I have NO idea. Still. Before this started, it was bye-bye Alex and Amanda… will this swing the tide back around again? Who knows… there’s still at least 12 hours before any voting happens.

Allison just went down to grab Mattie and pull him into the fray. Lawdamercy - if ya have the feeds, people, load’em up! This is likely to go on all. night. long.

-:05 Hidy ho, there Big Brother Fans! It’s that time again - I’ll be posting ass it happens recap as soon as the show starts - so sit right back, and you’ll hear a tale… (extra points for the next line!)

:00 Last time, on Big Brother 9 - it’s recap time!

:02 We rejoin the houseguests just after the nomination ceremony, where Mattie/Natalie and Alex/Amanda were nominated. Amanda says she’s not surprised at all. They’re one of the strongest competitors and will hang on to the week. Alex says 75% is Amanda’s fault because she opened her mouth. Alex brushes Amanda off, and Mattie tells us that James is a double crosser that went back on his word. The kid with the pink hair must go down, I made a deal with the devil and he must go down.

James says he doesn’t feel bad about it - this is Big Brother, you do what it takes to get to the end. He and Chelsia play around a bit in the HOH room, and tells us that she’s here to play a game. She has to look at it that way.

Natalie goes in to talk to Mattie while he makes his bed, and asks him what he’s thinking, he says he’s mad. He says he won’t go into the POV Cocky though, he knows he has to win.

Cut to Alex outside, where Amanda comes out to talk to him, and he says give me time, and leave, and give me time. He has a positive attitude toward the game, but a negative one toward her. She tries to say it wasn’t just about her - but he knows it is. Tells us so in the DR. He swears he won’t be negative to the house, but needs his space and tries to think positive.

Country music! OMG. Allison tells us it feels good not to have the target on her back for a week. She and Natalie are having a shoot off with cleaning supplies. “We’re not bored at all. Ha.” Meanwhile Amanda is working Sheila and asks where Allison is, because she got Sheila to keep her safe, no what? Sheila says she sees things she don’t like and Allison is copping an attitude. She tells us that she feels betrayed by Allison now and she got played.

Cue dramatic music…. James, Mattie and Adam talk about the fact that he shook his hand, and now he’s on the block when he seemed to be a straight up dude. James just says “You’re playing big brother, bro.” James tells us Matt and Alex are afraid. James is going in for the kill. They call James a tricky bastard and James just says hey, it’s a game. He says just play hard has hell for POV. Alex says James and Chelsia nominated them - he gets past this week, it’s revenge.

:09 Commercial.

:12 And we’re back, as Sheila asks Allison to talk and tells her that she’s been feeling a vibe from her and she feels she’s mad at her. She keeps saying she turned her back on her and ignored her. Sheila felt like she was only a friend while she was on the block, and she says Amanda was all “where’s your girl” and she feels abandoned.

:14 Time to pick players for the Veto Competition. The random couple picked is Sharon and Joshuah. And they choose Adam (8Ballah!) to host the competition.

Meanwhile Mattie is telling Alex the obvious, that one of them has to win POV, because he hates James and Chelsia - doesn’t care if he’s a loser, but wants to send one of them home. James busts in on them, laughing “What up losers!” Mattie tries to talk trash, and James just smiles and walks out.

:15 It’s time for the veto competition - get your gear and meet him by the back door. James worries he’s screwed if its physical. Everyone gets hard hats, and they go outside and see a lot of Jericho things - Mattie says it looked like electrical generators, he’s a roofer, so he felt pretty good and like he had an advantage. Chelsia thought of her dad who’s a line man and was confident.

Lives drastically changed, and they’ve been cut off from the rest of the world, new developments sugest they can restore contact. Solve the puzzle, and win POV and allow the house to receive outside info. Inside barrels of peanuts, there’s cables of different lengths, hit the button, if the light goes on, you’ve got them in the right order. Get ready! GO!

And they’re off, dumping peanuts EVERYWHERE. Amanda said they’d both tip the barrel over and she’d hook them up. Natalie has problems opening some, and James is going nuts. The wires are all different lengths, they poles were closer, then got farther apart, and there was only one solution. Sharon said it was definitely more mental then physical, because you had to get them in the right order.

They’re working hard and fast, and Josh and Sharon are neck and neck with Alex and Amanda with Matt and Natalie close behind. They forgot one, had to run back and get it and… Josh and Sharon win POV with seconds to spare!

:21 Alex says they lost by just a couple of seconds, and Matt says it was must win, they didn’t, and now he’s just praying. They get a ticker tape of outside information - Amanda is excited that McCain is the republican front runner, then also Barack Obama for the democrats. There’s Brittany Gossip. Then - The Hudson River Virus is threatening those cut off from the outside world.

Matt is all “….should I be worried?” James hopes it’s another clue to lead him to something else, and his mind is racing.

:23 Commercial!

:26 We’re back to see Allison telling everyone they have a natural tendancy to groom men. Sheila tells us that Allison is hanging out with everyone but her! She goes off on Natalie, telling her she’s done, and she’s been played and goes off on how she’s phony, and Natalie tells us Sheila needs to learn to keep things in and wait. She’s calling her every name in the book, as Josh listens in from the other room. Sheila tells us that she feels utterly betrayed by her.

She goes on and on to Mattie too, saying she saved that Bitch from being on the block! Mattie says she’s a basket case, and a loose cannon in the house. Meanwhile, Sharon is listening in this time, and Sheila keeps calling her every name in the book. Sharon runs upstairs to tell everyone what’s going on, including Allison and letting her know what’s going on. Allison is dumbfounded. Ryan says he was really angry about what Sheila was saying about his partner. Allison tells us that she had had it with her. Allison heads down to talk to Sheila. Cue dramatic music!

:31 Allison says I need to figure out what you’re doing. Sheila says that she owes her and Adam because they took her off the block, and the minute they got off she’s been treated her like shit and talked down to her. Meanwhile AMANDA is listening. in. Allison is like vice versa! What are you talking about? And Sheila calls her a phoney, and not to talk to her for the rest of the game. The yelling escalates, and Sheila keeps bringing up her education as the whole house listens in. They call each other Pathetic - and Ryan comes in to defend Allison, as Adam does. Sheila says they can’t be attacking me.

Ryan wants to know the reasoning behind this - and Sheila starts telling Ryan that Allison downtalked Jen, And Sheila says go ahead and play your game - while Amanda and Alex Celebrate in the other room

:33 Commercial!

:36 We’re back, as Sheila cries in the aftermath, and we see Allison running in the backyard, saying she doesn’t understand why she didn’t go to her first to Sharon, they’re recapping it all, and says you don’t know. We hear her breathing start to labor, and Sharon says out of nowhere, she had to go to the diary room. She ran into the house and goes inside, we see her ask if someones there and says her throat is closing, she needs an epipen, and we hear her start to cry.

We hear Tammy, the nurse offer the epipen. Meanwhile, Amanda says she needs sugar really bad, but is on slop. Natalie says she’s not eating hardly anything at all.

We hear the nurse ask Allison how she’s feeling. Shesays better. Then Amanda says she needs sugar, and that she’s not feeling good - and then she collapses, out cold! Natalie runs out and gets everyone and they all come to her aide, James pushes the button and yells for help, and Amanda wakes up, gasping for breath. Alex tells everyone about Allison, while the Nurse tries to help Amanda who’s gasping and freaking out. James holds her, as they try to get her to drink something, or suck on the gluclose. James and the Nurse hold her down, as Sharon holds her hair back, and Amanda is freaking out and won’t swallow. There’s siren in the background, as Tammy keeps telling her to swallow. Amanda comes back out of it, and James tells her she blacked out. She’s all ‘When?’ and he says just now, please drink the water. She doesn’t remember, and the EMTs arrive to take Amanda out on the stretcher, and collect Allison for her allergic reaction as well. As they’re wheeling her out, Amanda says again “I just need some sugar…”

:42 Commercial

:46 We’re back, as the houseguests talk about what went down, and Adam tells us he was impressed with James and how he handled the whole thing, and Natalie says it hit her, even if there’s negative feelings, they’re family. And They’re talking about whether they will come back or not. Joshuah says he felt bad for being rude and hopes she makes it back soon. She’s part of the Big Brother Family. Alex says they had their differences, but when something like that happens, it makes you think, and I hope she’s ok.

Mattie says James stepped up to the plate, and it looks out of character, and he’s very proud of his friend James for manning up like that. Alex talks about Allison being all swollen and huge, and Sheila says that she’ll never forgive herself if something bad happened.

:49 We see Amanda come back into the house, and go straight for her bed. Joshuah and Sharon find her there, and bring her out to say hi to everyone, and there’s hugs all the way around. Mattie and Alex tell her to head over to “that handsome man over there” and send her to see James. He says it doesn’t matter who it is, you do what needs to be done to help them out. Alex makes her a sandwich, and tells us that these people, even though they dislike her sometimes, they have feelings and cared about her health and she’s happy to be back.

They tell Amanda about Allison, and we see her come back into the house too, to hugs and welcome all the way around. She says everyone was glad to see she was ok, and it was a great feeling and she’s grateful to be there, because she’s not sure she would have gotten the urgent treatment needed elsewhere.

Allison and Amanda talk in the room, and how the house has forced them to be deceitful, and they need to change the way they are to each other, and Sheila joins in the love fest, and apologizing. Sheila tells us they’re not robots, they’re people, she has a child, they have feelings and love, and these are someone’s children, and she tearily says sometimes you have to remember it’s just a game.

:52 Amanda said that after she got back she really wants to stay, and is here to win. It’s time for POV Ceremony. Joshuah and Sharon do the stare at the wall bit, and Joshuah says strategically they could gain an allie by saving a couple, but you just have to make a decision and hope it’s the right one.

Sheila says she doesn’t feel safe, her fight with Allison caused ripples. Josh and Sharon open the meeting. Matt says he’s nervous, because he and Natalie are the most physically strong. But everyone knows the Pawn goes home. Alex says people will never use the veto, it is what it is.

:54 Amanda and Alex speak first, and Amanda says that she understands they want to respect the HOH decision, she won’t beg, and Alex says do what you need too, I just hope I have more time.

Mattie says he wants to stay too, but respects their decision, and Natalie says she doesn’t want to go back to the beaver state just yet, but she respects their decision.

Josh says that they love them both, Congrats for winning the first HOH and the first Veto, but unfortunately we’ve decided not to use the POV.

Mattie says it’s disappointing because he’s up against his boy, buit he’ll do what he has to do, it is a game. Alex says he’s still on the block - NY vs Boston, one is going down. Amanda says a little trip to the hospital won’t ruin her BB experience. If she gets off the block, the house better watch out.

:56 Who will be evicted? Find out tomorrow - live!

She’s like the energizer bunny, for sure. First, though, here’s the preview for tonight’s episode - they’ll be showing Allison and Amanda’s trips to the er:

Now, after the cut…

(more…)

That’s all that’s been going on today.

Semi-spoilery, so it’s after the cut!

(more…)

…or so I’ve heard. (grin) Tonight in the Big Brother House, the hamsters decided it was time for Natalie to show off her stripper skills, again - and this time Chelsia joined in with Joshuah (as Sabastian) playing the announcer.

There was LOADS of laughter, a lot of fun, and the party moved to the Pool and became a make out chicken fight party until BB told them they couldn’t chicken fight anymore. You can find videos by xx2000xx on clipster here. They are NOT safe for work, obviously!

But clearly, they were having a GOOD time.

Especially Alex and Sharon!

See what you miss without the feeds or Showtime? (Grin)

-:10 Hello, there, hamster watchers! Just setting up the entry so I can do the as I watch it recap for ya’ll! There’s sure a lot to cover tonight on the show, here’s hoping the get a good portion of it in. I expect to see the food comp and nominations at the least, and on Thursday’s commercial they were promoting Matt and Natalie’s ‘relationship’ so this episode will probably have a lot of them in it too. Thanks to Bobby over at Live East Coast Feeds for allowing us west coasters to watch with them last week, and http://watch.videobrother.com/ tonight!!

:00 Previously on Big Brother! It’s Recap time!

:02 We rejoin the houseguests right after the eviction last Wednesday. Ryan says it was bittersweet, and it killed him to see his girl hurt like that and now he’s totally in it for them. Amanda says she’s stuck with people she doesn’t like. Alex says he’s happy to see him leave because of Amanda, otherwise was sorry to see him go. Allison says now she and Ryan can grow their relationship and friendship and she was glad to see her go.

Sheila was relieved, because of her and Allison’s friendship, and the picture goes grey already. Matt says it’s finally hit him the game is starting, his boy is gone, and all that matters is keeping two eyes on the prize and working people over to win.

We flash back to the HOH competition, and James and Chelsia’s win! They’re all excited in the DR, and feel its good to be in charge when they’re shady people and can do shady things and get away with it. Alex says it’s Amanda’s fault 90% if they go on the block and she’s not happy. Amanda just rolls her eyes, and then says as soon as they won she threw up in her mouth, she doesn’t trust them. For real. No bueno.

Natalie was thinking THANK GOD because she’s sure she and Mattie aren’t a target. Allison says she feels safe, because Chelsia thinks she’s a lesbian and she knows Chelsia trusts her because she told her secret. Josh is glad to see the new king, and the others resting with the dogs.

All of the drinking cups are gone right after the HOH competition, and Mattie says now we’re drinking like dogs out of bowls. James tells Mattie he’s not going to be on the block, and promises that. Mattie points to the camera “You got that? America?”

Josh goes and tells Sharon the ‘biggest secret in the house’ and tells her about Sheila and Allison. Josh says if he’s going to trust Sharon 100%, she needs to know he trusts her with what he knows, and they agree they can trust no one, and hold Allison and Sheila hostage. They want to secretly kick them under the bus.

Time to see the HOH room! They’re way excited that they don’t have to eat slop, hear people snore… they got pictures, and Chelsia is way excited about it. Matt says he is jealous because he wants pictures and he misses his mom. James says he’s been on the road for 9 months without pictures or anything, and he says it was amazing, and Chelsia is running around excited. Alex says that cat eats good! Sheila is crying in DR and said it made her smile to see that.

Natalie comes up and James and Chelsia says they won’t put them on the block, and Natalie is screaming and squealing excitedly. James heads outside to talk to Adam and Ryan, and they talk about the top shelf must go, Jen and Parker - Done - now you’re gonna see Alex and Amanda gone too. Operation Condor. Has to go down. Ryan doesn’t want to go up and he’ll do everything they want to do. Adam says he doesn’t want to be a pawn. Ryan tells us he’s all about Operation Condor. Adam says similar and adds a ca-ca! ca-cah!

:13 Commercial.

:16 And we’re back. Amanda asks Natalie if she should go talk to Joshuah. She tells us they had a huge blowout, and we see the brief recap and she says she had to take the initiative. She pulls him inside to the spa room and forgives him for what he said. She tells us she can move past it and be the bigger better person. He apologizes and decides to form a secret alliance with him because no one would suspect it. She throws herself at him in a hug with a “you can believe me!” and says she’s sorry for making him snap.

Natalie tells Amanda that she likes mattie a lot and gets butterflies and he’s so cute and has the cutest face around, and she that he’s everything she’s looking for. She tells us he puts naughty thoughts in her head and she’d forgotten what that feels like. It’s nice. She takes a bubble bath in the HOH and invites Mattie, but he waves him off. She tells us they have feelings and vibes. She gets Mattie in there to hand her the soap. He tells her “Were not having sex.”

Mattie tells us that he doesn’t want a relationship to distract him. She tells us that they’re like the cutting edge where they like each other but won’t admit it.

Allison pulls Sheila aside and starts to think about confessing to Joshua and Chelsia. Allison things it’s a good idea to come clean because 2 couples have been kicked out for being couples. Allison is worried that they’ll be found out, and Sheila thinks it’s a bad idea because Joshuah will hate them for using the gay card. Allison says they tell him that they pulled him aside and told him thinking he’d blab it and it’d be funny - and that he was cool. Allison is certain it’s time to nip it in the bud. Sheila tells us that she’s sure they won’t be trusted now if they confess their lie.

:22 Commercial

:26 It’s time for the first food competition! James and Chelsia have sailor caps on - All aboard maties, Get in your gear and meat us by the back door. Sea-duction vs. DeVotion - they goe outside and there’s nets, and boats and Amanda says it was beautiful until they got the smell of dead fish. The place is COVERED with dead fish! Chelsia says she started to gag - and there was even an octopus! They get into the boats and discover the rules of the game. They’ve been too comfortable, so they’ve been sent out on the floppiest mission on the sea. You have to have one net full of fish to get food, if you drop them all, they’re on slop. There’s deckhands vs. divers - divers race to catch the fish, but they will be filling the opposing teams nets, which makes them heavier and harder to hold up.

Time to play What a Catch! Joshuah’s teams was easy - big guys hold the nets, the girls would throw the fish. Alex was in the water with two girls, on the other side. They run off, and start grabbing and throwing, and the smack talk begins! Chelsia grabs a big fish according to plan, but couldn’t get it up - so Alex starts grabbing the bigger fish. Natalie says to go for Amanda and James nets first and knock two out first. Ryan says the girls looked sexy because he loves a dirty girl. Mattie says there was nothing sexy about it, all the fish and guts. Ryan says they were picking on him and he didn’t appreciate it. Alex tells them he’s getting tired, and they keep tossing until he drops the net.

Alex celebrates, and they keep going. James is struggling, and he’s next out. Amanda is struggling, and the girls all attacked her, gang up on Amanda like she always gets ganged up on - and she’s third out! Yellow starts loading up Adam, and the trash talking begins in earnest! Mattie is out, and it’s Joshuah vs. Adam, holding on for dear life, but there’s more fish in Adams, and Adam says everyone was rooting for him, as he and Joshuah struggle to hold on. Adam drops his, and Yellow Team wins! Joshuah/Sharon, Mattie/Natalie and Ryan/Allison win food for the week, while Amanda/Alex, Adam/Sheila and James and Chelsia are on slop (With James/Chelsia with a pass due to HOH)

Chelsia says it looks disgusting, and everyone is gagging, Sheila can’t hardly eat it. Adam says it’s a little rough, but you do what you gotta do. Amanda says she’s on slop, and the bad week for Amanda has just gotten worse, a whole lot worse.

:34 Commercial

:37 Allison and Sheila start making fun of Amanda and her Bueno! Natalie tells us that she thinks it means hello, and everyone joins in, Chelsia even shows her butt as she does it, everyone gets in on making fun of her. Matt says it’s getting old, she’s a one trick pony.

James tells Chelsia he likes her a lot. James says it’s like a kid crush that will have to grow on her, but he does have feelings for her. They start joking around, and James asks her to lay with him and she says she’s thinking. He tells us that he has a chance to get to know someone, but doesn’t know if she feels the same way. She gets into bed with him, so they can talk, and they love the bed because it’s huuuuuuuge. Cue the romantic music ans he asks to snuggle. Chelsia says he grows in her a lot more, he’s an awesome guy, and we’ll see. Cut to them kissing in the HOH bed and snuggling. Awwwwwww…

Time for Allison and Sheila to fess up their lie that snowballed, and come clean. Allison assures Chelsia that it has nothing to do with her being HOH, and tells us it was a huge risk. Chelsia says she told James, because she tells him everything. And then Allison goes and confesses to Joshuah too. She says that she made it up to Go out with a Bang. Josh tells us that it doesn’t sit well with him and makes him uneasy - and he jokingly wonders Am I GAY? I lost my partner and have a woman in my bed, maybe I’m straight too!”

Joshuah heads up to talk to Chelsia who says she doesn’t know what to believe. Josh feels they might lie about anything now. James joins, and none of them know what to believe, because they’ve lied for a week, and how do you trust someone like that. James tells us it made her go back to his original thought about Sheila - she’s a bitch, and he’s pissed off.

James tells us that in order to get Amanda and Alex out, he needs a strong pawn to go up and he knows exactly who that will be, and cut to him talking to Mattie. Mattie reminds him that he promised not to put him up. He says not to worry about today, and that’s all he’ll say. Mattie says it’s a good sign, and James just grins and says “It’s not going to be expected.”

:45 Commercial

:50 Nominations time! James and Chelsia look at the wall, as Amanda says she believes she and Alex are the biggest competitors and threats in the house. Natalie says that she feels safe, because James and Chelsia gave their word. Sheila says the story about Lesbians makes her and Adam a target, and he’s definitely worried, thought he doesn’t know why they’d put him up. Alex knows he’s a target, he’s not looking to blame anyone as they’re a couple, but it’d be Amanda’s fault.

James says every action has a positive and negative reaction, he feels the house will be shocked with their nominations. Chelsia knows that it will make them a target, but she and James have discussed it, and knows what they want to do.

Everyone gathers at the table, and they begin the nomination ceremony. They give the standard couple speech, and James adds nothing too intense, what you see is what you get. Adam and Sheila are safe. They’re visibly relieved. Joshuah and Sharon are safe. Ryan and Allison are safe. Mattie and Nattalie looked shocked.

James tells Mattie and Natalie up is because they need them to win the pov, and know they’re the strongest couple sitting there and they can and will win the POV. Chelsia says Amanda went around saying things behind peoples backs, and she’s not truthful and she doesn’t like that. With that said, the meeting is over.

Alex is upset at Amanda because she’s the reason they’re up, but he’s still a couple. Amanda says she’s going to fight with everything she has. Natalie says it’s a compliment, and they’re the strongest. Mattie says he’s upset, and never trust someone with pink hair and he’s gunning for Chelsia and James, and gunning for them hard.
