Big Brother Craze

-:25 Setting up the post for tonight’s as it happens recap - Who do you think will go? who will win HOH? Almost time to find out!

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

:03 Well hello Julie! It’s day 56 and one might say it’s the week of the Underdog as James realized that he had no one to connect with and on the block next to a confident Joshuah. Going into POV he was Public Enemy number one, but won the veto as Joshuah went from bragging to Sobbing. Joshuah decided to fight, and he went on the offensive and began to turn the house in his favor. Was he successful? We’ll find out tonight.

But first - there are tears, then there are crocodile tears.

:05 Cut to the Veto Meeting once again, as Sharon replaces James on the block. Sharon says she feels pretty safe, everyone knows Josh is going and it will be hard for her. Sheila says its hard for them to be on the block together because they bonded emotionally. Joshuah says he feels confident because he has James, Ryan and Natalie promised to keep him. Natalie says she made that promise, but she hopes that he can get the votes to 3-1 and not be the executioner.

:06 She tells Joshuah that she doesn’t want to be the tie-breaker, and Joshuah tells us it’s stressful because he doesn’t know if Natalie will keep her word.

:06 Joshuah says he’s going to try and win safety, and everyone knows that he’s on slop and he wants to break down in front of Adam and show him he’s weak and maybe make him feel sorry for Joshuah. Cue the eating debacle - where Joshuah fakes a break down over eating while on slop, and he cries to Adam, who’s an angel about the whole thing, hugging him tight and consoling him. Joshuah tells us that crying on cue is easy for him, and shows he’d be a great soap actor. He doesn’t eat, though, as Adam gets him a tissue, and he tells him he wants to stay, and doesn’t want to campaign against Sharon. Adam wipes his nose for him even, and says that Joshuah is making him cry too.

:09 Joshuah says he feels like everyone is going to keep Sharon, and Adam says he can make it go 2-2, and Joshuah says he thinks he made some headway with Adam.

“09 Cut to the hot tub, where James and Joshuah are talking to Natalie. She’s scared that James/Joshuah would come back to get her. James says he doesn’t owe anyone anything, but he’ll talk to her when the time comes. Natalie says it’s hard to trust James and Joshuah, that’s why she put them on the block together.

:10 Cut to Natalie and Sharon talking in the HOH, as Natalie spills the beans on Joshuah’s deal Natalie says she wants to keep Sharon and Sharon promises that she won’t put her up next week. Sharon tells us that it hurt her feelings hearing he’s been campaigning, especially as she spent the day after POV crying.

Sharon calls Sheila up to join the hen party, and they start working on their Girls Alliance. Sharon tells her that James and Josh are trying to get Sharon out and flip Adam. Sheila says she can’t believe he would do this to her, she’s been crying, and Sharon tells us she won’t start more drama, or go after him. Sheila starts pushing the Females Stick Together, it’s going to be a battle of the sexes. Natalie says she has to work Ryan and Adam to vote out Joshuah.

:12 Ryan joins Natalie in the HOH next, and they talk about getting Joshuah out, that he’ll tell them anything he wants to hear. Ryan says that he and Adam will go up if Sharon wins HOH, and Ryan isn’t sure. Natalie wants to make Joshuah think he’s staying to unsettle James. Ryan is worried about Sharon, says he can’t trust he.

:13 Sharon grabs Natalie right away, and tells her Ryan isn’t sure he can trust her, so they pull Ryan in and she insists that she’s not a liar and hasn’t gunned for him and won’t, but Joshuah and James will. Sharon says if she leaves, they’re all fucked, they have it mapped out how it will all go down. Sharon leaves, and talks again to Ryan and promises to have his back in the game. Ryan tells us that she’s trustworthy and a good ally. He says whatever you hear, I’m just playing them, it’s good.

:15 Natalie talks to Adam, about being screwed if they keep Joshuah. They’ll go after Ryan and Adam, and she tells him not to talk to J/J because all hell will break loose. The plan officially changes to get Joshuah out, and shock James and Joshuah. Natalie says now she’s got Sheila/Ryan/Adam on board to get Joshuah out. It’s done. DUN.

:16 James and Joshuah talk in the Hot tub, about Natalie going to keep him. Joshuah says he feels bad, but Sharon has to go, and that she’ll get blindsided.

Coming up - Joshuah has been ruthless, what does his mother think of his behavior? We’ll find up, then the live vote. But first, the DR. Sheila says she wants Sharon to bond with her, she’s extremely loyal, that’s what she’ll need. Ryan says Sharon is trustworthy, and a good allie. Sheila says Sharon has carried Josh through the whole game and she wants him gone.

:18 Commercial!

:21 Welcome back. It’s time to check in with the houseguests! Hi everybody! Screams and squeals. Sheila, James called you out, accusing you of being 2 faced, and then gave you words of encouragement. What are your thoughts about James now. She says he’s highly intelligent and playing smart and it was good advice. James, what made you take the opportunity, he says it meant a lot to him when she pumped him up and when she wasn’t true about it - he took the high road. Adam - why is there so much emotion around you and how do you stay calm? He says he gets teary eyed as well, but he has a level head and does his thing and make sure everyone is happy around him. Joshuah - you have all my attention, you’ve been nominated with your close friend, how have you struggelled being on the block. He says it’s hard to campaign and not use deepest darkest secrets against each other. He can’t take her down, can’t do it. Sharon, how do you feel about him? She says she loves hima nd will be best friends outside the house.

:24 Since entering the house, Joshuah has gone after several houseguests personally, but what does his mother think? We go to his parents house, Darlene is Joshuahs mom, and says that Josh is Josh and they love him, he’s the live of the party and she’s never seen the outbursts that he’s doing now, and her boy don’t act like that. It’s nerve wracking because you don’t know what will happen next, and she’s never heard him talk like that. Sometimes she wants to wring his neck when she’s watching him, what he comes out with is embarrassing and not Joshuah. When she sees it on TV she wonders where it’s coming from, but keeps telling herself it’s just strategy.

Joshuah was sweet, loving, putting on shows. Played sports, was the youth president at church, and went on a mission trip, girlfriends through school, and didn’t care when he came out as Gay. He knows his family loves him and supports him. She knows that everything Josh says he’ll do, happens.

:27 Coming up, the live vote. Adam tells us that Sharon will turn girls against the guys and he can’t let that happen. James wants Josh to stay, he’s the only person he talks too. Adam says he can leave because he can’t trust him, and something is fishy with the dude.

:27 Commercial.

(Here’s where my router went out -thanks for the replay, bobby!)

It’s time to go to the HOH room to talk to Natalie. Julie says she spent quite a bit of time looking at Matt’s picture - what are you thinking about? Nat says she’s thinking of the good times and memories and she misses him and his pressense. Last week Chelsia joined him, how’d he feel? Nat says he was estatic and he’ll be happy to see her. How does Natalie feel about them being alone? She says he’s not her boyfriend, and he can do what he wants, she’ll do something to spite her though. Did you think it was possible to bring your family together? She says yeah, she’s always been the glue to keep her family together.

We’re minutes away from the live vote, who will it be? Let’s return to the living room. Last chance speeches to plead their case. Sharon says she’s thankful, if it’s her time to go it is, if not she’s happy to stay. Joshuah says it’s the most dysfunctional family on tv and believe it or not as much as I hate you all, I love you on the inside - it’s a roller coaster, and all I’m asking for is one more turn.

Time for the vote.

Sheila is all about girl power - she votes to evict Joshuah.
Ryan has had an allience with joshuah, then promised Sharon, who is he loyal too? VTE Joshuah.
Adam listened as Josh poured on the tears, did they work? Adam says he votes to evict Joshuah.

It’s official with 3 votes, Joshuah will be leaving, will James be the sole vote in his favor? James votes to evict Sharon.

The results are in, we’ll give Joshuah the bad news when we return.

The votes are in, let’s reveal the results. By a vote of 3-1 Joshuah you are evicted from the BB House - he wants to tell everyone one thing - he’s proud of being himself, and who he’s become, and he’s stood up for what he belives in, and he asks them to do the same, to be true to herself. He refuses hugs from everyone except from Sharon and James - Sharon is in tears, and gets a second hug and kiss as he walks out the door. He says good luck guys, and leaves, as Sharon bawls.

Joshuah walks out with a smile, and greets Julie with a hug and kiss on the cheek. Sharon says she’ll be ok, she’s still crying, but says she’ll be fine.

Julie asks where the speech came from? Josh says he’s a good person, he respects them, and it’s a tough game to play. He didn’t want to go out with a bang like Chelsia. He says he’s a tough competitor in the game and he knew that he’d be kicked out because of it, they made the right decision. Julie says they saw a mean side to him, where did it come from? He says he’s mean when he’s provoked, those two people made fun of and talked behind their back and he wanted to put them in their place, unfortunately it required screaming and throwing down but he’s not afraid to do it. When asked about his mom, he says that she’s probably frowning, and he says sorry mom, it had nothing to do with you or your upbrining I have a temper and I can’t control it all the time. She asks about the tears on command and he says that he was a fan of soaps and he tried, he went out fighting. Hopefully Sharon or James wins, that’s all he can ask for.

Goodbye messages -James, I want you to now I had your back, I wanted you to stay others broke their word. Ryan says he worked as hard as he could, but he did too much in the past, Natalie says she loves him as a fellow believer in Christ (he shoots himself) and Sharon says she’ll be fighting to stay there as long as she can and will have vengeance against them all.

Joshuah says he will only vote for a winner that fought hard and stood up for what they believe in, and he thinks a lot of them are spineless, and Julie says that he’s on his way to the Jury House.

Coming up next, the HOH competition.

:49 And we’re back, It’s time for the HOH competition. Who will be the next HOH? It’s time to find out. You knew it was coming, and I hope you’ve been studying and counting the things in the house. It’s called More or Less. The questions are about things in the household - answer more or less, whoever is in the lead after 7 questions is the HOH.

More or Less then 24 table lams in the house, including lava lamps. Correct answer is Less, Sheila is the only one wrong.

Are there more or less then 30 tree trunks in the diary room? Less - Sharon and James have 2 points.

More or less then 75 pillows inside the big brother house? More - there’s 87, Sharon, Sheila and Adam get a point -Sharon has 3.

More or less then 37 total picture frames in the entire house? More - everyone is wrong. There’s 40 pictures. Sharon is in the lead with 3.

More or less then 19 total logs in the fireplace and wood rack in the living room. Less - everyone gets a point.

More or less then 107 two way mirrors throughout the house. Correct answer is more - James, Sharon and Adam are tied with 4. Last question.

More or less then 115 pull out drawers in the BB house. More - Adam is the new HOH! (DAMMIT!)

Hugs all around. Whats in store for the house now that Adam is the new HOH? We’ll find out!

:54 Commercial.

:56 Let’s join the houseguests in the living room. Adam! Congrats - he says it happens, it happens, he’s a numbers kind of guy, he was in the right. Sheila, what did you make of Joshuah’s exit speech, and she says it was classy and she’s glad that he left with that attitude.

:57 Who will Adam nominate for eviction? Find out Sunday -then Tuesday at 9, who will win POV, then next Wednesday, the next live eviction.

Let’s eavesdrop on the houseguests. Natalie is telling Adam he’s good with numbers, and Sharon says she knew there were 116 mirrors, and James is alone in his room.

:58 and we’re out. Sorry about the missing chunk, guys - my router went nutso and I had to get it working and reboot and such. I’ll fill in the missing pieces of the actual eviction as soon as possible. I’ve got someone doing a replay for me, will add it within the hour.
