Sunday night show review. Brought to you by BabyT27.

As we begin the reign of Queen Natalie over the house, no one can believe they lost a mental battle to her. Josh, James and Sharon are realizing that one of their alliance members will be going home this week.
Natalie continues to pursue her numbers theory, Last week with the number 8, which lead to the prediction of Evel Dick coming into the house, and this week with the number 7 leading to the prediction of her winning HOH. Josh thinks she’s crazy and I hate to admit it, but she really might be onto something with this. Lets see what number shows up this week. Maybe the number 6, number of the devil and James win HOH and makes the house even again. We shall see.
James is really, really concerned about being nominated this week. As he should be, we all know Natalie is now playing the game to avenge Matt, and that wills her more then ever. Frankly she plays better without him anyways. In a frantic move of desperation, so while Natalie is packing her clothes to move into her Palace he approaches her to try and make a deal. Natalie does the right move, and tells him she just needs to think about what’s best for her.
Super excited Natalie finally gets her HOH room and letter from home. The most important thing to Nat is her dog Sampson. Of course that is the first thing she looks for when she enters the room. And there it is a picture of Sampson. Josh comments that the pictures are all of her. He is still steaming because he lost the mental battle against her. No way can Natalie write a more inspirational speech then josh can right?!
Natalie’s letter from home, I could quote the entire letter but I will just sum it up briefly here. Her Family is telling her they love and support her and most importantly are praying for her. Her Dad even writes that Natalie’s being on Big Brother has brought the family so much closer together, even causing her sister to buy cable just to watch the show. Natalie got all teary, so did Sheila (not a surprise) but when the camera cuts to Adam you see him wiping away his tears. Isn’t that sweet, Adam really does care about Natalie. I suspect he cares about everyone in their own way.
Its funny watching the houseguests go stir crazy, trying to come up with little things to entertain themselves. Natalie proposes Hide & Seek and Adam and Ryan actually agree to play with her. Natalie finds an amazing hiding spot, just a shame that her knees hangs out from under the dirty laundry in the hamper. When Adam sees this, he just walks back to the living room yelling for her. Then laughs with the boys as he tells them where she is. Natalie has one more spot she wants to hide in and the boys agree to find her again. This one is a good one, in the cupboard in the bathroom, even Josh looks for Nat. Josh makes a comment “Its like we are looking for a girl to pop out” then he opens the bathroom cupboard and Natalie “pops” out scaring Josh and making Adam jump. Good one!
Later that night, everyone is hanging out in the Sauna Room. Sheila gets a little personal with Josh and asks him how he came out to his parents. Josh was in Austin around Christmas time 18 years old. He wanted to stay in Austin a few more days to go to his friend’s party. His mother wanted him to come home because he was out for the Christmas from college. Apparently his mom kept calling and drilling him, and he just blurted out “You can’t handle the truth mom, I’m Gay!” He was allowed to go to the party, then had to deal with it when he got home. The long and short of it, his parents accept him and get close to whomever he is dating. This really touches Sheila’s heart.
James is really feeling the pressure of the possibility being nominated and approaches Natalie yet again. Explaining to Natalie that she can trust him and that she got her revenge by evicting Chelsea last week. He proposed her final two and they shake on it.
Its time for the Food Competition, with the backyard all decked out in Kansas farm fashion the houseguest then have to decide whether or not they want to be on slop for the week or food for the week. Easy choice right FOOOOOD! Of course this is Big Brother and there’s always a catch. If 3 or more of the houseguests choose slop then everyone gets what they ask for. If the majority of the house chooses food then the people who chose slop get food, and the rest get slop. Each houseguest ponders the decision and drops their choice into a watermelon to be smashed later when all the houseguests have made their choices. Ready to have a smashing good time? Each house guest smashes their own watermelon to reveal their choice.
Sharon - Slop
James – Slop
Joshua – Slop
Ryan – Slop
Sheila – Slop
Adam – Food (smart choice Adam)
No one is looking forward to being on slop, James even less because he is sure he is going to be nominated.
The houseguests find it amusing that Natalie stares at Matt’s picture without even blinking. Natalie is just missing her Matty, why cant they give her a break sometimes. Josh really thinks she’s obsessed and going pack a U-haul to show up on Matt’s doorstep.
Ryan feels secure with his position with Natalie, and tried to sway her how to nominate. He no surprise wants to backdoor James, after all that is what James did to take out his closest buddy in the house. Sharon knows one of her alliance members are going home. Natalie is very confident with her decision as we go into the nomination ceremony
Natalie tells the houseguest that her decision is based on what is best for her. When we all know the house is split and her alliance is really strong right now.
Adam you are safe.
Sheila you are safe.
Ryan you are safe.
Sharon you are Safe.
“Obviously I have nominated you James and you Joshua for eviction this week. Joshua I feel that you are a threat and somebody who has made it this far into the game and hasn’t been nominated, that’s pretty good I got to give credit where credit is due. So that’s threatening to me. James I want to believe your word but its hard for me. I cant believe you, it might stab me in the back again later in the game and I am just trying to do what’s best for me. Oh and also I do believe that you two are working together and I have to break that up as well and this is the only way to ensure it.”
Josh for the first time in 50 days feels threatened because it is his first time on the block.
James feels like he is a big threat in the house and the houseguests wants him to challenge himself every week by beating them. Any thoughts of a secret alliance between Nat and James are now gone. Couldn’t talk your way out of this one James.

Team Christ Prevails!

Josh has a new ace up his sleeve.

Throughout the day, Josh has been developing a plan to save himself. Josh read in the rule book that if he eats while on slop, the violation would cause him to receive a penalty nomination. Since he is already on the block, presumably the nomination would take effect next week. Last year when Jenn violated it, she only got a penalty vote but it seems that the rule is actually flexible, allowing BB to make decisions based on severity of the situation or their own desires for the flow of the show.
So, Josh made a deal with Natalie that if he eats and gets the penalty then she will break the tie on eviction day in Joshes favor(if their even is a tie). The penalty nomination includes not being allowed to play in the HOH or the POV so that was a deal that is hard for Natalie to resist. Problem for Josh is that the BB guys could decide that its only going to be worth a penalty vote and therefore make it that much more likely that Josh will go home. They may even do it that way for spite so that house guest now and in the future don't think that they can use the rules to their advantage. Josh also plans on going off on peopel pretty bad tonight first and also if he goes home to help rattle cages to give james and Sharon a better chance to win HOH.

POV ceremony today.

Josh has been working Natalie hard to ensure that Sharon goes. He wants Natalie to believe that if she keeps Josh in the house, he can make sure that James doesn't put her up next week if he wins HOH. Thats pretty stupid because Natalie is just a big a target to Joshes side of the house as James is to hers. And for mostly the same reasons as well. Ryan is unfortunaltly convinced that Josh will do everything in his power to take Ryan all the way. He is basing this on their "secret alliance" and that one time that Josh made it look like he saved Ryan's butt when in reality the week panned out the way it did regardless of Josh supposedly "saving private Ryan".
From what I can tell Sharon went up as planned. If anyone else would have gone up, like Ryan for example, the house would be in a bit of an uproar.
Now there is still the huge matter of the votes. The plan was perfect and simple all along but these people really know how to stir things up when there nothing to stir. If you look at things from Natalies point of view, Josh should go home and then Sharon would most likely have to go with Natalie's "side" and James would left on his own needing to win everything to stay alive. I don't feel Bad for James having to to do that because he lost the game along time ago but BB fond a way to let him play again. If it wasn't for Ryan wanting so bad to keep his "alliance" with Josh then it would be cut and dry. Ryan is the main one who keeps suggesting to Baller and others that keeping Josh is the best move. So it will be flip-flopping more up until the actual eviction I assume as logic and reason battle scheming and mis-direction. See you guys later tonight for a review of the show and any other craziness that happens between now and then!

Mini Update 3/30

I put some more clips of the guys pranking Sheila. Mainly they toilet papered her whole room. It was actually pretty impressive how much effort they put into it. Sheila chuckled at first but she of course started getting more mad about as it started sinking in. Later, after Sheila and Adam were asleep, James and Josh woke them up with pots and pans. Not very original but kind of funny I guess.
James made a comment at one one point about maybe giving Natalie his phone call if he wins HOH next week in order to win her favor. Wasn't much game play going on and even with the on going pranks, it was a little slow yesterday.
I have added well over a dozen clips of yesterdays shenanigans on the above youtube video system for your enjoyment. I should have enough for at least another mini update at some point today and at the very least I will have a Sunday show review tonight. Enjoy the day and I will see some of you on the feed chats.

Weird day ,,,, update 3/29

There has been more flipping today than at a gymnastics competition. I am going to make my best guess and say that its likely that the final decision so far is to let Josh think he is safe and not let him find out otherwise until hes voted out. Not only will it be sweet to shock Josh like that but it will hopefully fluster James right before the HOH comp and hinder his chances to win it.
Sheila is desperately trying to solidify the girls alliance and Natalie usually acts down with it but turns right around and tells Ryan and Adam that she not down with the girls alliance and shes going to be true to them.
Ryan even seemed to settle on ending his alliance with Josh and going ahead with breaking him away from James for the good of the house.
On a lighter note there have been alot of pranks played today. James dumped flour on Sheila at one point and that really angered her. She was trying to get called into the DR to complain about him and she b*tched about it for nearly 2 hours. James and Adam also switched Adams small mattress for Sheilas big mattress and it will be later before we see how bad that p*sses her off.
Even funnier through is the BB guys are playing pranks today in preparation for the April fools day show and the number target is the little wussy Josh. Doesn't take more than to say "BOO" to make him scream like a little girl. The best one they got him with was having a ghostly figure appear in the mirror as he was getting out of the shower. He completely flipped out and was nearly crying! They did various other things like putting a rat in the freezer (which got Josh again) , making water shoot straight out of the sink faucet getting Sheila wet, and turning off the water completely while Natalie and Sheila were in the shower. I will put some clips up in a second for all to enjoy.
We can expect more pranks tonight and alot of mental game play this whole weekend.
I have to say that Natalie has really stepped up her game mentally and physically since Matt left and I am pretty proud of her so far. I am sure I will have enough stuff tonight to warrant another update so check back later.

You can't say no one is trying.

This has seemed like a slow period of time but there have been some interesting conversations and efforts put forth by the various house guest. We already know about Josh setting Sharon up for a very hard fall by pretending he was out the door no matter what while secretly campaigning against her. One interesting but ultimately failed effort was James and Josh trying to form a new alliance with Natalie and Ryan. Ryan was down of course because he thinks Josh will take him to the end and Natalie seemed to agree at the time. Thankfully Natalie is smarter than people give her credit for and it didn't take long for her to decide trusting James and Josh was a bad idea.
She instead pushed for the all women's alliance while at the same time making sure Ryan and Adam feel like the three of them are solid. Natalie is really stepping up her game in every way now and it will be interesting to see what direction she ultimately commits herself to.
The girls talked about pretending that Josh was staying and shocking him and James at the vote by eliminating James' last real friend in the house and potentially demoralizing him. Hey, tit for tat right James and Josh? I mean Josh is trying to do that exact thing right now to his own partner who would do anything for him. So no, I don't feel bad for them at all.
So theres alot of mental stuff going on right now and when theres so many games being played and plans being thrown out there, something is bound to break down and blow up in someones face. Will be a fun weekend to pay attention to. See you guys later this evening.

Is it really neccesary for Josh to play Sharon like this?

The girls are talking alot about making an all girl alliance and they are including Josh as one of the girls. Natty still says she is only down with Adam and Ryan when she talks to those two alone though.
Sharon was crying her eyes out about Josh possibly going home this week and instead of Josh being open with her about whats going on , he is pretending that he has conceded to the fact he is gone. Sharon loves him to death ( for some strange reason lol) and is heart broken and guilt ridden for not being able to help Josh stay. The problem is that Josh is secretly campaigning against Sharon and seems to have a lock on getting her out. I know its a game and that of course josh should be trying to stay but why is he lying to Sharon and making it seem like he has no chance? It is really just cruel because he doesn't need to act like that. Sharon will understand and I don't think she would even be upset that she is going home instead of him because she cares for him so much. So now when Sharon goes home, she will be in complete shock and be hurt by Joshes lies. Just doesn't seem right to me that Josh would rather it go down like that after how much Sharon has done to have his back.

POV 3/28

In a shocking yet still pretty much expected outcome..JAMES WON THE POV ....AGAIN??!!
What can I say , the guy is good. Know matter how you feel about James, you can't help but respect someone who performs under pressure like that time and again. The house seemed to be in a state of shock afterwards. People were having it out with him yesterday because he seemed to be 90% out of the house and they wanted to let him have it before he left the house. Now he is going to be scary as ever and mad as hell seeing as how he feels like everyone is against him.
For me personally, there is an extremely shiny bright side to James winning POV and that is the fact that in all likelihood, JOSH IS D U N DONE!!!!! Josh has pretty much already picked out his coffin and is saying he will leave quietly and with dignity. If you believe that, I have a great piece of real estate i want to sell you on the moon. Josh will make an effort to go ahead and screw his partner over but I refuse to believe he will succeed. Just let me dream guys. This is definitely going to be fun to watch so I will see you guys and gals on the feeds.

You make your bed you lie in it.

James managed to put the whole house against him by his deceit , hypocrisy, and going back on his word many times. Everyone is well aware they can't trust James for anything. So now that his partner is gone and Natalie is HOH, he is feeling the isolation. Everyone wants him out and he knows it. He has got himself into a screaming match with just abotu every house guest and even seemed to be crying whiel he was arguing with sheila. Even more pityful, he cried to Natalei abotu not having his partner and not having anyone to talk game with. Things could have been alot different for him had he not made such a spectacle of himself about being a "better man" and " showong peopel the better way to play" and of course going back on his word with Natalie. Too bad buddy. You make your bed you lie in it.

POV players.

Everyone but Adam will be playing the POV. I hope that someone other than James or Josh win because it will be fun to see Josh and James battle it out. Friction is rising a bit between them 2 already. I am not sure what the number is( i will check today), but James could be headed stealing the POV record from Janelle. I don't think he could get the HOH/pov combo record though. There isn't a whole lot of effort being put forth yet until the POV is over with and everyone knows exactly where the nominations stand. Josh is suddenly convincing everyone he has always been a sweet and nice guy and James seems to be getting used his role.

Nomination results.

James and Josh are nominated! No surprises here. I am excited about this week because everyone knows Josh is going to go crazier each day we get closer to eviction. This is officially Joshes first time on the block and i personally hope his last time . This is the first time that i will be rooting for James to win POV so that Josh will go home. He does have some game and that's kind of the shame of it all. He has made good moves and has the ability to work people in alot of ways yet he still feels the need to stoop to that low, ruthless level of attacking people in very personal ways. I could almost forgive him if he didn't have the capacity to do anything else. He seems to do it just for the pleasure of seeing them in pain. Bad karma is you ask me.
So anyway , I expect there to be more to write about than there previously has been. I promised you guys that i would only updating the feeds with quick and consise summaries of MAKOR events. Quite frankly there hasn't been many MAJOR things happening resultign in less frequent updates. Thsi week its highly unlikely that will be an issue. Happy feed watching and I will have at least a mini update prepared later tonight.

Show review and HOH results.

Great show tonight ... We have a special guest writer who may be doing show reviews for us from now on if they continue turning out this good. Thanks to BabyT27!

Well after Chelsia's very explosive behavior this week it's predicted who was evicted tonight. With a 5-0 unanimous vote Chelsia has been evicted. No surprise for any of us really. And Natalie now is well on her way to avenging Matty.
Chelsia after being evicted does not leave on a good note. Tearing each houseguest she does not like down and giving pep talks to the ones she does like. “Adam get a back bone in this game, your playing like a baby. Sheila you’ve been rode hard, you will be put away wet. Natalie educate yourself, you need one honey, you are in dire need of one. Joshua your crazy, I love you baby”.
Seeing Julie poking fun at Adam and his baby food, Sheila about EvelDick, Nat and her notorious number 8 and Sharon’s furrrrrends was quite humorous.
After Adams first accidental HOH win, we finally get to see a little insight to how he lives his life outside the house. His family speaks very highly of him, and just confirms my personal thoughts of him being a super nice guy. His mom words exactly “He walks Tough, but there is a whole soft person behind him. He is a kind and loving person”. This just shows you a little of why he did give Sheila the money and take a bike that he has admitted he does not want. The really funny thing his family says about him is how to figure out what he is saying. His brothers advice “Take the basic words out of what he is saying and piece it together yourself”. By the end of it all you get to see how smart Adam really is.
And here it comes down to HOH. Tonight basically is a guessing game. America voted between 2 houseguests and the houseguest has to guess who America voted for. Big Brother Election, the backyard is set up in Red, White and Blue. The houseguests are blind folded and have to answer questions by either raising their left or right hand. With each correct answer you move one step forward. The houseguest that has moved the furthest at the end of 7 Questions wins HOH.

Question 1: Who did America say would be more likely to recarve Mount Rushmore to include only their face? Joshua or Sheila
Answer: Joshua
Everyone except Sheila and James take one step forward.

Questions 2: Who did America say would be more likely to give their Big Brother winnings to charity? Sheila or Adam
Answer: Adam
Everyone except for Sharon and Ryan take one step forward.

Question 3: Who did America say would more likely lock themselves out of the White house? Adam or Sheila
Answer: Adam
Everyone except for James and Joshua take one step forward.

Question 4: Who did America say would have a more interesting biography to read? James or Sheila
Answer: James
Everyone except for Sheila and Sharon take one step forward.

Question 5: Who did America say they would prefer leading them into battle? Ryan or James
Answer: James
Everyone except for Sharon and James take one step forward.

Question 6: Who did America say would give a more inspiring speech? Natalie or Joshua
Answer: Natalie
Everyone except for Joshua and Ryan take one step forward.

Question 7: Who did America say would more likely stop their motorcade to let a squirrel cross the road? Sharon or Natalie
Answer: Sharon
Everyone except for James, Sheila and Natalie take one step forward.

Well if you can’t see the obvious winner here, Natalie got all but the last question right. Finally a competition geared right for Nat. Kudos to her. And here starts a new week of butt kissing as Natalie will continue to avenge Matt.

Ericthegreat: I personally am so excited to see NATTY WON HOH!!! She has endured heartache , pain , ridicule and embarrassment. She had alot against her and she kept fighting. Even after Matt , her supposed soulmate, left. Like her or not , you must admit she deserves this after getting so screwed over by James. It's is going to be really fun and at the same time painful to watch the various house guest chirp in her ear and try to get her to do their will. I will go ahead and make the obvious call that she will put up James and Josh and that James will win POV therefore getting Josh out of here once and for all!!! Then again , Natalie is pretty determined so she may be on a roll and get POV herself. Then James is out for good.

Sharon shows some emotion

Sheila and Natalie are really working Sharon pretty good. They have told her that Chelsia and James are conspiring against her in order to keep Chelsia. I don't know how true it is since I have only seen James saying he definitely wants Chelsia out because she is a major problem to him in the game. He says it to her face and to everyone I have seen him talk to about it. Either way , it's having an effect on Sharon because she literally broke down and cried to Josh about her not being able to trust people she puts herself on the line for. I am guessing that the DR is trying to get people leaning towards getting Sharon out because she not as entertaining for the show as Chelsia is. I am almost positive that is the case.
The show tonight was great. Who hasn't dreamed of seeing Dick wake them up with pots and pans? Dick was a good host and the game was fun to watch. Sheila was actually pretty impressive getting 7 out of 10 nasty concoctions down and scoring 3rd highest. Adam came in second and we all know James won first place but he didn't break Dicks record from last year which would have netted him Dicks guitar.It was also interesting to see the real conversation that Sheila keep talking about between her and Dick. She made it sound like Dick had pulled her aside and talked alot about wanting to take her out of shes a winner because he doesn't date losers. It turned out to be one small passing comment he made about not hanging with her at the wrap party if she doesn't win. Nothing close to an implication of a date of any sort.
Tonight should be interesting being the last chance for Chelsia to make any last ditch effort to stay in the house. Report in the morning. Good night guys! (unless something really, really crazy happens , then I will do another update tonight.)

Mini update 3/25

Everything is fairly set in stone right now so the Hg don't have much to talk game about. Chelsia did try to apologize to Natalie and ask if there was any way she could win her vote. Natalie said what she always says to people who approach her: "I have always wanted to work with you ..me and you could really make it in this game." She said that she was campaigning for Chelsia right before she went off on her just to make it sting a little for Chelsia. Good job Natalie! After that conversation and when she was talking to Sharon and Sheila, Natalie said she would never vote for Chelsia for any reason.
In the meantime, Sheila went to James and tried suggesting they work together and she wanted to convince James she has always had his back and that she does not trust the people in her alliance. Could be good game play, could be true flip flopping. You decide. The other Hg have talked alot about Sheilas flipping tendencies and it seems no one really trust her these days.
Anyway, tonight going to be a great show. We get to see Dick waking the house guest up and the big POV competition. See you tonight!

Easter booze!

Soon after the HG got started on coloring their Easter eggs, they were given a couple bottles of wine and some beer. It really helped spark up a calm day. Seems they all got a buzz and were being quite funny. Adam was on another short roll of throwing out lines that were cracking me up. Sheila suddenly seemed quite horny and began flirting with Adam. James and Josh had bigger plans and snuck out some extra beer to feed Chelsia. One would guess that the extra booze for Chelsia was to facilitate craziness for Joshes entertainment and to allow James a better chance to get laid. Both things happened! Chelsia and James had sex again and when that was over Chelsia came out raging and began to attack Natalie once again. She didn't really say anything new so it was a little lame but it was still a bit entertaining. Chelsia did blurt out the fact that she had sex with James today and last night. Most notably, she smashed all the eggs that Natalie decorated.(see videos above)
Natalie wasn't effected much since it was all the same zingers as last night but Sheila seemed to get upset when Chelsia started making comments about Matts crooked eyes. Sheila was actually in tears about it and was saying to Chelsia that she can attack Natalie if she wants to but its crossing the line to attack Matt when hes not here to defend himself. That got Joshes wheels turning and so after the drama was over, Josh questioned Sheila a bit. Sheila took the opportunity to mess with Joshes head by implying that she may be Matts mother. She didn't say it directly but Josh determined that's what the deal is. So Josh went off telling everybody his newly discovered "secret".

No suprises at the POV.

As suspected, James used the POV to take himself off the block and Sharon was put up in her place. Chelsia doesn't seem to have given up yet and is still trying to see if its possible to sway votes.
Quick note on Josh and Ryan : they are starting to convince me that their little secret alliance is real. I just didn't know for sure if Josh was sincere but it seems he will be for at least as long as it benefits him of course.

Happy Easter .. mini update

There was a last ditch effort by Chelsia to save herself by seeing if she could trade her 21k value casino trip to Adam in exchange for him taking her off the block and replacing her with Natalie. She would probably have accepted Josh as well but she figured shed go for the gold here.Unfortunately for her the trade was denied by BB and so she offered to take Adam with her instead. Adam is no sucker and he won't be taking the deal. Good thing too because Chelsia has already admitted that she would have stiffed him anyway. I'm not surprised at all to hear her say that.
James and Natalie supposedly made a deal to watch each others back for at least a week or even longer. Natalie seemed excited about it because they both agree that their sides of the house lean on them for competitions. James talked to Josh soon after the "deal" and told him to make sure they target Adam and Natalie. Yet another non surprise.
Late last night, James and Chelsia were getting hot and heavy but Chelsia didn't want to do it in front of cameras so after Josh came and broke things up anyway, James went and asked the DR if they could have sex in the DR. They apparently agreed to it but once again Chelsia denied him. Poor guy.

Sad news for Ryan.

Yesterday Ryan got sad news and a letter from home from his mom. His grandfather has passed away and Ryan obviously cared for him alot. He was saddened a bit and decided to talk to Sheila about it since she is one of the very few house guest this year who have a heart and wouldn't use that information against him in some sick way. He stated he was not gonna "play a sympathy card" but he really just doesn't want anyone trying to hurt him with it. His mom encouraged him to stay in the game and do what it takes to win and he stated he would try to win for his grandpa.

Aftetmath of James winnning POV.

It was extremely obvious to everyone what was going to happen as soon as James won yet another POV. Sharon was gonna replace him as a pawn and Chelsia would go home. While you can't deny the value of breaking up James and Chelsia, breaking up Josh and Sharon has its own benefits. Plain fact is, Sharon is not really "one of them". She doesn't seem to have a mean bone in her body and is just playing the game with whats available to her. She has sworn her loyalty to Josh. If Josh leaves, not only does one of the smartest and most dangerous players in the game go but, that leave's Sharon without her partner and possibly willing to go to the side of the house that now has the power.
Natalie --in a brief moment of briliance-- campaigned for the idea really hard but unfortunately for her, Josh is a little better "chess player" than her. H e had already made his move on Adam and convinced him not to mess with him for his guaranteed safety. Its bull and a completely worthless promise but Adam is scared of being a target of James already and jumped at the chance for some promise of protection from a person who has some influence with James. Adam can't do anything about James enacting his "tit for tat" method on him so having the chance of Josh convincing James to leave Adam alone for a week was too good to pass up. Even if he does know it may be bull. Not to mention Ryan feels his little "secret alliance" with Josh is iron clad so he is also suggesting keeping Josh. I don't personally like Josh but I will admit he knows what hes doing sometimes.
So it looks pretty solid that Chelsia is going home and she decided she is not going quietly and that her main nemesis is Natalie. She came up with the idea ( with a little help from Josh) of using broken eggs and ketchup as a prop to --I would guess-- throw on Nataluie, and yell at her that she has just killed another baby .(pretty sick and juvenile f you ask me) The thought of this was so tickling to her that she was almost constantly giggling and cackling about it. At one point Chelsia confronted Natalie and Natalie defended herself fairly well. There was a funny point in which Chelsia , in an attempt to get under Natalies skin, claimed that Matt had finger banged Chelsia in the storage room. Natalie didn't believe her but you could hear James in the background yelling "what the f*ck??!!" It was a knee jerk reaction from him but he later claimed he didn't believe it was true .
After Chelsia had gathered all the items for her little project to attack Natalie, she stopped by James' bed to talk and James showed her that he was angry. He asked her how old she was and whether she was really gonna feel better after this especially considering how the BB producers were going to use this to further tarnish her image. She got mad at James and laughed with a scary amount of evilness but her respect for James seemed to over take her devilish desires and she wound up not doing it ..yet.

Dicks visits the house and veto comp ensues.

Dick was heard creeping around the house and everyone was very excited since we were about to see everybody's dream of watching him wake the house guest up with pots and pans. NOT! He was there and he did do it but we weren't allowed to see it. Tisk Tisk BB.
The veto competition was a disgusting food/drink contest from what I can tell. There have been many references to the house guest drinking and or eating horrendous stuff one of which was called dicks benedict. James definitely puked all over the place at one point but that did not stop him form WINNING THE POV ONCE AGAIN! Well guys you should have put Josh and Chelsia up and back doored James after Chelsia gives him a blow job to take her off the block. I say that because James was seriously saying yesterday that he would throw and competition if Chelsia would agree to give him a BJ. All in all it was basically the same competition that Dick won last year where you earn how many shots you get to take with the croquet game by drinking or eating disgusting stuff. For each item you can manage hold down in your stomach , you get another shot at the second part of the game in croquet.
Sharon went and talked to Adam and tried to volunteer as a pawn against Chelsia in order to save Josh. Adam seemed to agree on the condition that Josh keep his mouth shut so he wont have to listen to Natalie and Sheila b*tching at him about Josh all week.
Everyone seemed to be excited by it being Dick waking them up and hosting. Sheila took the chance to hit on him and even though Dick dissed her in front of everyone , she claims he was being responsive when they were talking in private. One funny thing they couldn't seem to get enough was is that Dick apparently has a penis as big as James' which was showing through his pants. Dick tried to give Adaa pack of cig's and the producers wouldn't let him.

Nomination results.

Adam had the kahunas to put up 2 of the biggest threats in the game. Some people doubted he would do it but he did.
James and Chelsia are on the block!
He had the easy excuse of saying that he was just splitting up the couples just like they did Natalie and Matt. So now either the other couple in the house ( who are quite strong) will be split up or if one of them comes off the block, then they could always back door Josh. You can tell by any conversation that Sharon isn't even being considered as a possibility. Good for her because she is the least mean of them all. They acknowledge that Sharon is a mole for Josh but agree she is still a nice person so they aren't gunning for her.

Things will probably get ugly now because Chelsia even pushed Sheila away when she tried to hug her after the ceremony. The gloves are off! eeeeeerrrr LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUMBLE!!!!!

Mini update 3/20

The event last night wound up being a casino night but I haven't confirmed who won what except for Josh and Chelsia winning the ability to watch a movie. Quick note on something we could see today after nominations: In a short game of truth or dare, James dared Chelsia to get naked and run through the house to the pool. She said she didn't feel like it now but agreed to do it after the nominations!
Adam and James had a talk about James being put up and James was kind of being a pr*ck and almost threatening Adam which upset him and Adam wound up saying " I didn't say I was putting you on the block but if you gonna say that kind of stuff than I will. Adam did say that him putting James on the block would actually be better for him because he would have the chance for Josh or James himself to take him off the block. ( not that Josh would ever do that)
Josh tried his "secret alliance" tactic on Adam to try and secure his own safely much like he used on Ryan. Time will tell if Adam takes it serious. I have a feeling Adam is smarter than that though.
It is looking pretty solid that James and Chelsia will be going up on the block with the option to back door Josh later if need be.

The tides have turned.

After successfully throwing many competitions , Adam has stepped up at just the right time in the game and made his move to win his first HOH! Adam is one funny guy so this should be a very entertaining week! As suspected, the vote went tied so that it would have to be James to make the decision and James sent Matt packing.
The competition was interesting and was basically the house guest had to pick who was the person who said a certain comment in the diary room. Two people would go up against each other head to head and the person who didn't win was out and the winner would pick any 2 others to go head to head next. The order worked out in favor of Adam and crew's team and Adam won the last round to take the prize.
Once Adam took his throne he announced that he would give each house guest a 15 minute interview and he even set up a desk and couple chairs to make it look professional. He is already making me laugh and he just took his HOH seat.
Adam and Ryan don't trust Sheila but they know they need her for now while they are breaking up Josh, James, Sharon and Chelsias crew. So far, it's a bit up in the air because Adam still wants to talk to everyone but James is a likely candidate along with either Chelsia or Josh.
2 things that are just a little bit concerning are Adam keeps bringing up Sheila's name and Ryan seems to be lightly suggestion leaving Josh out of the block situation because Ryan feels like he needs to protect josh with his little secret alliance.
Natlalie is obviously gunning for James because of what he did to her precious Matty.

Well, this is going to be a fun week for me and really everyone who likes to laugh and loves hard core wheeling and dealing. My prediction is that the house will stay divided and someone from Josh's crew will go home after a bunch of scary "flip" like actions and alot of lying to people to secure future interest for after this week. Stay tuned because I can see I will be very busy writing updates this week!

update 3/19

There's a big plan in the works that has many uses and possibilities. Joshes crew are pretending that Chelsia is slipping to the other side and that they are basically breaking down as a crew and so the votes are up in the air. On one hand, it is to torcher Matt and make him believe he has a chance to win which will make it sting so much worse when he gets voted out. It is also to create mistrust and expose people as unloyal. This next part is speculation and it may or may not be their full plan but it would be if I was in on it. It seems the situation can be elevated to the point where Joshes crew completely erases the obvious divided line in the house and then completely split up and form new alliances among each other. Then, if their crew doesn't win HOH wednesday, they can use their new fake alliances to trick the other guys into voting each other out. It only needs to work for one week for them to take over the house completely and have a fairly smooth ride for the rest of the season. Thats what they should do. I really hope they don't because not only would it be kind of boring from then on but I would hate to see Josh win the money because the guy is just ruthless beyond anything I have ever sen in my life. Especially when you consider his constant remarks about attacking her 16 year old son . Josh has declared he is attacking sheila and Natalie and will give them a choice of either having their mother or son ripped to shreds if they won HOH. HE IS THREATNING TO RIP HER SON APART IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE ALL WEEK LONG IF SHEILA WINS HOH. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that he WILL go through with that threat. He really makes me sick.
At any rate, tomorrows gonna be quite a day and I am starting to feel a little better thanks to my awesome friends in room 19. So I should be back in the swing of things from now and and I want to thank you guys once again for your patience these past couple days.

My apologies.

Today has been a trying day for me as me and Mandy are going through what can be considered at best, a trial separation as of today. As you can imagine. I was away from the feeds to deal with the pain and emotions of this situation. As my bad luck would have it, today was a very busy day and I have missed way too much to be able to provide a quality update.

The main things that I have gathered from what little I saw is that Matt has been campaigning to death and therefore got into a few arguments with people. I know that Josh , Chelsia , James and Sharon have come up with a plan to disrupt the other 4's alliance by pretending they are disagreeing with each other and possibly voting differently with the goal of creating chaos between Natalie, Adam, Sheila and Ryan and hopefully use the chaos to pull one or more of them to their side. It seems they want to create the illusion that the divided lines no longer exist. That's a pretty good idea that requires alot of stupidity on Adams team to work.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out for them so hopefully after these next couple days I can get back to watching full time. Please pardon the interruption of my updates. I will still keep popping in but I can't promise ill be full time for at least another day or 2. Thanks for your patience. I realize that it is unprofessional to post this kind of personal information but integrity and honesty is very important to me and I can only hope my readers can appreciate it in this case.

Matt is about 98% gone.

Matt was trying really hard all day and night to save himself and of course Natalie was being the good soldier for him as well. Matt's attempts were pretty weak in my opinion but he was doing whatever he could think of which shows how screwed he really is. There are no good cards in his sleeve to play. The "being alone on his birthday" and various other "pity" cards aren't going to cut it this house. The people with hearts are already on his side but theres not enough of them to help now that James was brought back. Natalie seemed to get to Sheila a bit by telling her about the nasty things people say about her. That did rattle her but, it will probably only come in handy after Matt leaves and not before.
Ryan made a funny revelation that he put three people on the block while he was HOH last week and not a single one of them went home. So he effectively made 3 enemies for no reason.
Sheila is playing pretty smart right now being the super floater that she is. She is keeping everyone aware that she is available to them if they win HOH. You can tell she kind of wants to use her magic to save Matty but she knows that would really cause her problems so she has backed off and will make do with Ryan instead. She is making sure Natalie understands she needs to go ahead and get into the mindset that she has Ryans back and vice versa while simultaneously assuring the other alliance that Ryan is not a threat. I'm telling you guys there is more to her than what you see when shes b*itching or whining. This girl has been around the block a few times a knows people. She is no joke in this game.
I didn't see it myself because I cant stay up all night every night but I heard Matt got another BJ which is no stretch to believe.
An interesting declaration was made by James last night as well that conflict with half of dozen other reasons he has given for why he was put back into the BB house after being evicted. He said " I came back to screw Matty..that's it, bottom line" This one seems to be the most accurate.
Even though things are looking rough , you can never say never in the BB house so at the very least, expect a much greater effort as the clock winds down to eviction.
And just to clear the elephant in the room: Josh , Chelsia , James, and Sharon are close to ending the war of factions already in this early part of the game. Anything can happen but the odds are in their favor. It just kind of saddens me because as BB history shows, once the alliance wars are over, thing start to slow down quite a bit in the BB house.

Mini update 3/16

So the shock of the situation has died down a bit and Matt has partially snapped out of it and started working to save himself by trying to get votes. He first victim was Sheila who is always more than happy to be the center of attention and have people begging her for things because he gets a chance to b*itch about all the things she has been upset about over the past few weeks. She had been saying that she doesn't want to vote for either one of them because she feels wronged by Matt and Ryan for different reason. Matt tried to use what some would call a "mom card" and asked...wait ..begged Sheila to be a mom for him and save him. She never committed to anything so Matt still isn't sure where she stands.
He talked to Adam briefly and acknowledged Adam was in a tough position being friends with both Ryan and Matt and in the end Adam gave no indication as to which way he would vote either.
Next was Chelsia and he pulled the "love card" and the "I don't want to spend my birthday in sequester alone card" Yes, I have given in to my hatred for the usage of the word "card" because it has been embedded in my brain after hearing it 7.456 times so far and counting. Chelsia also kept her decision a secret. Matt has been using the birthday thing alot but I doubt very seriously any cares about that.
So, it's game on and Matt and his trusty side kick Natalie are going to be working hard to save Matt and I don't see why Ryan won't try too once he realizes how hard Matt is campaigning. Going to be quite eventful and intense in the house I would guess all the way up to the eviction. I expect to have to post alot of updates so keep checking back!

Veto ceremony is over and emotions are flying.

Well, James did it. He went back on his word and his proclamations of showing people how to play the game straight. It was a good move for him to get Matt out of his way but it was a dirty way to do it. I would probably feel better if James hadn't made those numerous comments about how he was a better man and wouldn't stoop to the level of others and back door someone ..much less break a major deal made between him and Natalie. For the record, James did say on a couple occasions that back dooring was part of the deal to not put him or Natalie on the block.
So, My bitterness and disappointment aside, I will admit that he made the right move for his own interest. If Matt didn't go home and he or Natalie won HOH , they could have hurt James' side of the house but may not have messed with James had he shown he was a man of his word. Then again, maybe they would have. It will be very hard for anyone in the house to trust James from now on though. He even told Chelsia in a private conversation they he would even put her up.
Not surprisingly, Matt and Natty were very upset and Josh took Natalie aside to try and perform damage control and convince her that since James didn't put HER up than he kind of kept his word. Of course, she didn't buy that. Matt was so shook by this that he actually started crying after his talk with James and when Natalie tried to talk with him the first time, he had to get away from her because he was embarrassed and as he walked away you could hear him mumbling something like " come on Matt, be tough... stop crying"
Things are really tense right now and so I expect alot of drama so stay tuned for the latest throughout the weekend.

Exclusive first interview with HG Allison from BB9!

Fellow Big Brother fans,
It is my pleasure to present the first exclusive interview of Allison Nichols, BB9 house guest who has just arrived home on March 13th after the
twist where a Big Brother house guest was given a chance to be voted back into the house. This being the last chance for any of the so far evicted
house guest to return, they all got to go home and return to their normal lives. During the season, I had the pleasure of chatting with Allison's step father
Dave in one of the 24/7 feed lobbies. He spent lots of time with us watching Allison play the game and discussing how Allison and the other guest were doing in the game.
During that time of great fun and good laughs, I got to know Dave and when Allison arrived home he graciously offered to ask Allison to give me an exclusive
first interview. Allison very generously accepted without hesitation and so I am proud to present the first of possibly two or more interviews or blogs
on www.thegreatBBupdate.blogspot.com. Please enjoy this question and answer session and feel free to sign our guestbook and return as often as you like for
summaries of the major events of the Big Brother live feeds. More to come shortly so check back!


Hi Eric

For the absolute record: I was never attracted to Ryan. Purely strategic to get him to be loyal to me over his real life girlfriend. NOT my type- at all.

1.)You have a solid education and great job by most standards so, what made you decide to go to the Big Brother house? The money..A possible TV career, A tough mental challenge? Please explain.
A) I decided to go on BB for the challenges it imposes mostly. I am a competitor. I liked that aspect of the show the most. To be honest, I only watched 8 episodes of season 8. I really didn't know what I was getting myself in to. I really did not.

2.)What was your strategy going into the house and in what ways did that strategy change when you found out about the couples theme and also after you discovered Jenn and Ryan were a real life couple?
A)My strategy was to immediately align with the two strongest men and one strong woman. I wanted to align with Matt, Chelsia and Parker until I found out we would be in couples.

3.)Were you going to tell the house about Jenn and Ryan or did Parker jump the gun and mess things up for no reason?
A)I was going to ride out the Ryan and Jen secret for a few weeks- AT LEAST! I was not going to tell. Mostly because I knew I could use it against Jen in the future. Jen was way more of a threat in the game then they made her appear because of her big mouth and ego.

4.) I have to ask this because everyone wants to hear about it since it was potentially one of the biggest problems you had. Why did you continue to feed the fake lesbian lover story instead of squashing it as a joke the same day?
A)I wanted to ensure the votes for Jen and Parker to leave so it had to last at least the week we were on the block, because they bought it!!! They were not supposed to buy the lie. It was supposed to last a few hours.

5.) Who in the house do you think has the most potential to win?
A)James or Chelsia will win. I would love to see Ryan win though.

6.) You were quoted as saying you would be a much better match for Ryan than Jenn. Were you attracted to him at first and slowly lose it or are you perhaps still attracted to him?
A)I was not attracted to Ryan. I did want him to turn on her so we wouldn't have to align with her. She was a weight we didn't need. No one liked her from the get go.

7.) Does the diary room guy tell you secrets to promote drama or lead you in any way to create stories?
A)The diary room does promote a story. You are encouraged to say certain things.

8.) You were no less than amazing in your attention to detail to what was going on with the various items in the house. Can you explain to us some of the things you figured out about them and how it applied to the house guest?
A)I can't answer that now. I know more puzzles though.

9.) Besides the obvious fake lesbian lover story, is there anything else you would do different if you could turn back the Big Brother clock?
A)I would more effectively convince Jen and Parker that I wasn't going to tell.

10.) What, if anything, have you learned from your experience in the house?
A)Not to do a reality show. Truth. It never comes out as it appears and is not "real".

BTW, I really did have an allergic reaction to the slop. Truth.

I will write more in the morning.

Thanks,
Allison

I guess if you gonna do something , you might as well do it all the way?

James had recently decided that he was going to go ahead and cross that line of integrity and do what he said he wouldn't by back dooring someone. And that was going to be Adam. Once James crossed that line, it was only a matter a time before he said to himself " well since I am breaking my word anyway , why not break it all the way and break my deal with Natalie too?"
Apparently the plan is now to take down Sheila and back door Matt. From James' side of the house, that is probably the smartest move at the present time. The question is, will it come back and bite him in the ass? If Natalie win, absolutely. When you really think about it, who is going to trust him now after he completely broke his word on a solid deal that he made? Things just got very interesting. James has decided to screw his declaration of playing the game the "right way " and play dirty. Amazing how much can change in such a short amount of time. I wouldn't count it over because the people in this house talk alot and when word gets around whats going on , and I believe it will, things are going to get rough.

What a surprise..James is planning on backdooring someone now!

James earned my respect when he still gave Natalie the deal because she tried so hard even though he knew she was falling anyway. Big time points in my book, He also said he would make this a straight up nomination and let the people he put up fight it out and not change the block. In other words no back dooring. He wanted to show the house that theres a better way to be and to play. Much respect for that.
I suppose I should have known better though because wouldn't you know it, he goes and tells Ryan all of a sudden that he is pulling him off the block and will be replacing him with Adam. Who by the way I just starting liking so much more for making me laugh so hard I was in tears last night for hours.
Ryan is obviously relieved by the news and offers his service as thanks and in true mob boss style , James says the the favor is to be repaid at a later time of his choosing. James mentioned that most of the house was on board with this except Matt and Natalie.
Ryan tells the news to Josh who acts elated and even hugs Ryan showing that he is so happy his little secret alliance with Ryan ( which seems to also have with everyone) is staying intact.
This out to b good. I am sure I am not the only one who feels like him back dooring someone is stripping him of integrity he gained the other night. Lets see how this pans out.

My face muscles are numb after last night.

I officially have a new favorite house guest......Adam is the man! I have never laughed as hard in my life as I did last night. It all started when Adam was talking to Josh and was ripping on Sheila in retaliation for her b*tching at him about never washing dishes. Things really got good when Natalie told Matt that "all she is asking for is 2-5 minutes of cuddles or kissing" and she would be willing to give Matt a BJ in return. It's not to much to ask to ask is it? Just 2-5 right? Adam ..just 2-5?!!" There was something about the way she said that and the way Adam reacted to it......... so painful with a tinge of sorrow for poor Natalie that she couldn't get her measly 2-5 so she could "have a little fun"! It was just so hilarious that I could already tell it was going to be a good night! Adam could not let it go because it just shocked him to his manly core that hot-little-Natalie is trying to "blow" Matt and he would not let her! You have to know that Adam and Ryan don't know at this point that it HAS in fact happened before so it's very bewildering to them. I promise I will finish this story of last night in a bit ....I have to start my real job in a minute. All that you need to know for now is that Adam rocks!

OK back.....At some point while Adam and Natalie were laughing about that, Sheila poked her head into the room to apologize for acting the way she did earlier and Adam was pretending to be sorely hurt by her actions and he refused to accept Sheila's apology "as of yet" until the matter was fully reconciled in his mind. He was just giving her a hard time but he was acting serious so it was really funny!! I must admit that some of what came out of Adams mouth later was a little vulgar but it made it no less funny. I will however omit that stuff and just give you general concept of the humor. The largest part of late last night was centered around Adam and Ryan trying to convince Matt that he needed to let go of whatever was holding him back from having "fun" with Natalie. Adam is just funny whether he's trying to be or not and the way that he words things like how he would handle things if Natalie was bugging him for a BJ!! He was describing to Matt what he needs to do in the situation he is in, it was just hilarious!! He made note of the fact that X thousand dollars and a BJ a night for 50 nights, totaling 50 Bj's, was a great reward for their stay in the house. You could feel Adam's frustration and confusion as to why Matt wasn't "all over" the situation. So it just literally went on for hours with Adam and Ryan telling Matt that he needs to take advantage of Natalie's offer in as many funny ways as a professional stand up comedian could muster. Later, James woke up and joined in line with Ryan and Adam with the assault of pressure to get Matt to man up and "take care of business". Matt's only come back was repeatedly mentioning Natalie reminding him about how easy it would be to just hop in a u-haul truck and be at Matt's front door!!

Eventually the boys got to him and actually made him agree to do it! He also admitted that it had happened before but that did nothing but give them more ammunition saying "whats the difference!...the damage is done... nothing should be stopping you now!" I wish I could write out all the funny lines Adams spewed out but there must have been hundreds of them and it's all just a hilarious blur now.

Fast forward to everyone back in bed....long story short is Matt and Natalie do the deed that they are already famous for... for a third time now. Natalie was actually pretty stealthy about it so, since Matt was really only doing it because of the boys pressure, he starting making comments like "2-5 balla"..or "50 nights a balla 49 more to go". It's unclear if Adam or Ryan ever understood that it had happened and just a few feet from either of them. If any videos become available of last night I will post some clips. Last night was a rare treat.

Getting a little intense tonight!

Everything was calm and cool because everyone knew what the plan was, (keep the nominations the same and get Ryan out per James wishes). Also, no one expects Ryan to do much and Sheila doesn't need to do anything since she's been told that Ryan is the target. Should be the end of it right? Not a chance! Sheila has decided to go on the offensive instead of just hoping James' plan works. Unfortunately her talking people's heads off and attacking Ryan is driving people crazy and giving plenty of fuel for those who would like to get Sheila out instead. It has also given Ryan ammunition to try and change things up and possibly exploit Sheila enough to get her out in his place!!!!

Ryan spoke to Josh and brought up the fact that he and Josh are supposed to have an agreement and he wanted to know if he was going to be true to his word that he had Ryan's back throughout the game. He brought up the fact that Sheila wanted Josh out when she flipped that big plan to get Matty out. He mentioned that he chose to put James up instead and tried to imply that it was because of their little agreement. Surprisingly, Josh didn't out right lie by saying he would give Ryan his vote or anything! He said that he doesn't know if he can and it depends on what the house does. He suggested that he and Ryan get some good dirt on Sheila if he wants to save himself.

Ryan took Josh's advice and called Sheila out for running her mouth, and about her saying things have been given to her throughout her entire life. In saying that she contradicted herself when she was scolding Ryan for taking the 10,000 dollars from her!!! She was playing the "single mother card" like nobody else needed the money but her since she is a single mother and she it should be "given" to her.

Things are going to be a crazy few days especially if they keep giving them alcohol like tonight.....Sheila got hammered tonight by the way.

Mini update 3/14

James is a pretty stubborn guy so not much is going on since everyone realizes that. Everything is going the way he planned, and there is not much that Ryan or Sheila can really do about it. The other HG have nothing to worry about, so there's no reason for them to start drama with anyone. Sheila seems to be campaigning but it's hard to tell because she is always talking crap no matter what! James made it clear to everyone that he wants Ryan out so Sheila left him alone and went to talk Natalie and Sharon's heads off.

They found a croquet set in the storage room. It was just 2 balls and 2 croquet sticks. Maybe it's to allow them to practice for a luxury competition?? Or could it be for an upcoming food competition??....Nobody really knows yet, it could simply be for them to have fun with.

So yea, it is a little slow right now, but it's early and these guys are gonna get stir crazy so there is still hope that some drama will explode. My confidence in this is born from the fact that the HG themselves admit that creating drama makes the time go by a little easier so I wouldn't put it past one of them to start something simply from pure boredom.

James wins POV!

James won the POV.....his plan was to make sure that the veto was not used so it would just be a fair fight for the people that he put up on the block. It looks like James is going to get through the week looking like a strong, but honest, player since he also won the HOH, and he is keeping his word to Natalie by not putting her or Matt up. Then again, the week isn't over yet and anything can happen. Some people must feel really stupid for voting this guy back in since he immediately reminded them all why they wanted him out in the first place....HE IS A STRONG PLAYER! He's in a good position to win this game now as long as a few things go right for him over the next couple weeks. And to think, he was already voted out and he has already talked to Julie!
Expect the unexpected!!!......I love saying that!

Veto players chosen!

Playing today will be:
Ryan, Sheila, James, Josh, Chelsia, and Matt.
Natalie will be hosting the competition. From what I understand, Sheila chose Chelsia, which seems strange to me since you would think that she would rather have Natalie playing for her?! Maybe she doesn't think Natalie will use it or maybe she is just trying to get on Chelsias good side to ensure her vote by showing her that she trusts her and her alliance??!!
Check back later for an update of who won after I figure it all out from deciphering conversations!

Good to see these guys still enjoying themselves!

So, despite some ill fated attempts to talk James out of it, Ryan is on the block along with the ultra-talkative Sheila. Everyone knew what was coming and there is really no surprises this time around. Therefore, not much game being talked last night since there really wasn't much that could be changed. Everyone knows James' intention... put two people on the block that voted him out and allow them the chance to fight there way out of it in the POV competition. With scheming being pointless for now, the HG just talked and even had a little fun.

One thing to note is that when they came back in the house at one point after a lock down, new blocks had been put in the hamster cage that spelled out the letters POV. So, of course that stirred a little excitement and conversation. Natalie made a comment indicating how she wasn't surprised by that and knew what it was about. We shall see at the POV competition perhaps.
Still later, Sheila went to bed and cried a little bit about missing her family and just the fact that she was really stressed out being a target this week. Knowing that Sheila had fallen asleep, the house guests decide a pull a really funny prank on her by getting everyone in on running around the house and acting as if they were getting ready for a POV competition that had just been announced over the intercom. It was already funny just watching how much the idea of playing this prank was making the HG giggle.:) The prank went off well and Sheila jumped up in a panic and quickly put her unitard on and made her way outside as quickly as she could in her barely awake state. The house guest tried to play it off like they were waiting for the POV to start but they almost immediately broke out into laughter and exposed the joke. Everyone had a good healthy laugh and Sheila was a good sport about it. Even funnier still: as soon as Sheila got back to her bed and got her unitard off, BB called her into the diary room, requiring her to get back up and dressed again. The house exploded in laughter once more.

It is going to be very interesting to see what happens with the POV. James wants it to stay the same and if Ryan or Sheila win the POV than they have fairly earned the right the stay. He does not want anyone else to use the POV because he does not want anyone to get "back-doored" the way that he was. This could cause a problem seeing as how Matt and Natalie have promised Ryan they will take him off if either of them win. James said "back-dooring" was included in the deal he made to Natalie to not put her or Matt up but he may get upset if they go against his wishes and take Ryan off. That could lead to James breaking his deal on a technicality, I am curious to see how it all goes down.

Stay tuned to the site for future up dates and a possible exclusive they may happen in the next couple days that should be very exciting for all of us!!! Right now, I am only 50/50 sure if this thing will go through, but if it does then you guys will be very pleased with what is coming. I don't want to say what it is right now just in case it doesn't work out, but I will post later once I am sure about my plans either way.

Mini update 3/13

So Natalie finally got her coveted massage after nearly killing herself to save her and Matty. Matts massages must be really good!
During the massage they talked some game and about saving Ryan and also said to Ryan they would save him when he walked into the massage room. That's great and everything but reality is, if they win POV and take off Ryan, that is likely to make James mad enough to say something like " I agreed not to put you on the block , but now you've put me int a position where I can't take out the guy I want to take out so one of you are going up now.

Josh and James are realizing everyday what a mental threat Sheila is with her talking and convincing people to do things she wants But they still want to get a strong player out this week while they can to help their chances in later competitions.

Doesn't look like there is going to be a food competition today since nothing is set up but maybe its a simple one that doesn't require a lot of props. I imagine they want to give the HG a break after the grueling endurance comp last night.

Sheila had a couple talks withs Natalie today ..telling her she deserves to win and that she will help her and basically did her "floater thing"One of the conversations was overheard by Josh and Josh relayed the information to James. Just basically info. that confirms she cant be trusted and James agreed.

There was a major diary room leak last night while Chelsia was in there and I have the videos for you in the above video list. Pretty interesting.

Natalie is my hero....

The competition went on for 5 grueling hours. hmmm Who could do that ? Must a been the big strong Matty or Adam or the "marine brat" Sharon right? Nope. Came down to a hard fought battle between skinny James and little Natalie! Josh dropped almost immediately after the live show ended and Adam soon after. The others started dropping and Chelsia lasted the 3rd longest. James and Natalie kept talking deals between each other but both were very driven to stay.The bottom line and the most dramatic thing about this night was Natalie hung in there until she had absolutely nothing left. She was dying to see the pictures you get from being HOH and stuff but really she wanted to guarantee Matt's safety. All she kept saying when James was saying he wouldn't put her up is " not just me ..you have to have to guarantee Matt's safety". When it got to the point where Natalie was about to puke an her body was giving way , she made a literal last second deal with James that he wouldn't put her OR Matt up. James agreed and as soon as Natalie hit the ground she threw up. It was very dramatic and quite moving to see someone give everything they had to the end. James even showed respect to her for putting him to a true test of will and, as of this writing, he is swearing he will keep his word to her. Who knows what will happen after the emotion of the situation dies off though?
I don't care what you thought of Natalie before tonight , you can't see someone give so much especially for the sake of another person she cares about and not gain a little more respect for her.
So anyway, James is the new HOH and he has promised not to put Matt and Natalie up. He has been claiming he owes people for doing him dirty and will exact some revenge. This will definitely be a fun and interesting week but, I still can't help being upset about the fact that BB made Americas voting completely pointless by offering James as an option. What did we bother voting for? Very strange decision.

It's like the past week didn't even happen!

Well, the plan was flipped successfully and James was voted out effectively weakening that side of the house. Now Matt, Natalie, Adam, Ryan, and Sheila have control of the house. Everything is looking good for them. ((((((((((((SIREN))))))))))))))
Whats this? A twist? We get to vote back a mystery house guest or vote back James! Well you would think that since most of the people in the house went back on their word and voted James out, they wouldn't want him back to take vengeance on them would you? Josh wouldn't want to risk seeing Ally again so of course he voted for James to return. Chelsia .. no mystery there she voted James. Sharon .. well she doesn't want to see her boyfriend come back and she was on the block so she wouldn't be a target of James so she votes to bring him back . Understandable. That's 3.
Matt .. he likes everyone that has been voted out, dislikes James and of obviously wants his group to keep control of the house so of course he votes mystery guest. Ryan wants to see Jenn so yep..mystery guest. Sheila is working to help squash Josh, Chelsia , Sharon and James side too so she votes mystery guest.
So, now all that's left is for Natalie and Adam to vote mystery guest and the Josh/James/Chelsia/Sharon alliance is broken. Unfortunately Natalie and Adam are the least intelligent people in the house and for some hair pulling-eye gouging - make me scream out loud in pain - reason .. they both vote to bring back James and effectively erase the whole week and keep the other side of the house intact with the exception of having one person who is extra teed off at them. That is the most unbelievably dumb thing I have ever seen. So, we either see a repeat of the past week or we see the whole game shift in the other direction depending on who wins HOH. This brings new meaning and validity to the phrase "expect the unexpected" WOW! It will be very interesting to see what happens with the HOH situation. Check back later tonight for the update.

Sad news from bb6&7 howies family.

Here is the letter the family published regarding Howie's god daughter who was stricken with cancer. Very sad to see someone so young have to go through this and leave the world so early. Tell your loved ones how much you love them because as you can see anything can happen no matter how old or young a person is:

It is with such heaviness we say to you, last night our sweet Rabekah left our sides and began her journey with the Lord. The tears and sorrow are left for us to bare but her soul sits high above smiling, dancing and painting colors for us all to see as a reminder of how much she loved in her precious life.

For so long our family has prayed for her Miracle when all along it was right in front of us. She was the Miracle. Of strength, hope, love and most of all of Light. Her struggle taught so many how to open themselves up to God and prayer. Her eyes carried such peace within them and those of us who were lucky enough to share that with her will forever hold that dear to our hearts. So many of us believed that the Miracle was her healing but now know it was and is within the lessons she has given to each one of us.

She was such a fighter and would want us to remember all the happiness life has to give and would want us to take the time and celebrate the fullness that we have, for her. When you see a rainbow you will see her and remember that all we need to know in life is how to love one another- Perfectly, just as she loved all of us. Thank you for allowing yourselves to be part of her life and ours and continue to rejoice in her name.

There will be an intimate Burial Service with Immediate Family and a Memorial Service at the Millennium in Newport Wednesday March 12 at Noon for anyone who wishes to pay respects.

In Lieu of Flowers and Baskets, we are asking for Donations to the Rabekah fund that will be taken to the PICU Unit at Eastern Maine Medical Center and given in her honor. On the day of Rabekah's diagnosis our family was unsure of where to turn and the staff embraced us all so graciously and turned our devastation into hope and hope into love. They allowed her to become the fine line between what is and what can be
