BB9 - The Veto Has Been Won
The veto competition is over, and the winners are …
… Matt and Natalie!
The comp involved cables and a puzzle, and Chelsia is saying that something happened to Sheila’s puzzle piece. Sharon wants her to keep a lid on that, or else Allison will call for a do-over.
Allison is somewhat subdued, but obviously disappointed. She’s already whispering to Chelsia.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 29th, Part One – Waiting for the PoV
This week’s nominees are Matt/Natalie and Allison/Ryan, just as expected. Last night was probably the most uneventful in the house so far, with the highlight (if you can call it that) being James donning a green unitard from the food comp and prancing around showing off his junk.
Gotta give BB props this morning, as the wakeup song is “Strangers in the Night.” After a brief interlude with the flames, we’re treated to Joshuah, complete with King Dustin’s crown, describing how he’d like to rip Allison’s heart out, take a bite, and then toss it away. That’s going to be difficult to do from five feet away. He follows this with a premonition that he and Sharon are going to win their third competition in a row today.
Allison walks around telling everyone that she has to win the veto competition, because she knows that she’s not well-liked in the house. Gee, what gave her that impression? She’s worried that Ryan doesn’t want it badly enough, and tells him that he has to give it everything he’s got. He knows, but she doesn’t feel enough energy coming from him this morning. The dude just woke up, give him a break.
Natalie’s had a premonition about the comp, and apparently she “knows” it will have something to do with lifting and possibly endurance. That’s like saying the next HoH comp will have something to do with questions, and possibly involve Julie Chen messing up.
We get flames around noon, but we’re back shortly thereafter. Seems they were just picking the magic ping pong ball to determine the wildcard spot in the comp. Sheila and Adam are the lucky participants. James will host once again.
Sharon tells Allison that the kiss she shared with Alex in the hot tub was completely initiated by him. I don’t remember it that way, and I sure remember her hanging onto him for quite a while afterwards. Allison says that she knew Alex liked Sharon, and that she can usually tell these things about people. Ugh. Can we just evict her now and be done with it?
Joshuah tells Matt that if he and Sharon win the veto, they’ll take Mattalie off the block so that there’s no risk of them leaving. They’ll be replaced by Sheila and Adam. Oh man, let’s hope that doesn’t happen. Sheila will be unbearable.
Everyone’s waiting for the PoV competition to begin, so they’re all just kind of walking around and making small talk. They’re bored. I’m bored. You’re probably bored too.
Allison is still pumping herself up, saying she’s going to be like an animal out there and no one will be able to stop her. She tells James and Chelsia that they’re the only ones in the house that she trusts. No idea why. She’s told Matt and Adam and Ryan the same thing.
Sheila and Natalie decide that they have to get Allison out of the house this week. Well, there’s something new. Snore. Nat says that if Allison and Ryan win the veto, it’ll be the biggest upset in Big Brother history. Wow, I don’t think that would even make the top ten. And this is only season nine.
Heh – Allison is saying that she’d do anything to stay in the house, even break her own hand like James suggested last week. James jumps in and explains to her how to do it – something about slamming your hand repeatedly with the fire extinguisher until it breaks. Ryan says there’s no way he would do that. Then someone asks if Allison would shave her head to stay in the house, and her answer is no. So she’d break her hand, but not shave her head. Gah.
Joshuah, Sharon, and Natalie decide that if Allison stays and someone else comes back into the house as part of a twist, they hope it’s Jen because she’ll make Allison want to leave voluntarily. The viewers will want to leave voluntarily too, kids. Natalie says that Allison told her, “if you hang around with me more, Matt will pay more attention to you.” That’s just cruel.
Just as Ryan and Allison are starting to get into another argument over Allison’s lying, we get flames and then a shot of people praying before the competition. People, if god cared about Big Brother, you’d all be struck down with a mystery virus and we’d be put out of our misery.
Now we’re at the trivia screens of doom, awaiting the results of the veto.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 28th – Allison, Persona Non Grata
After the food comp, everyone returned to their strategy sessions. Josh, Sharon, and Chelsia talk again about the merits of putting up Ryan/Allison and Matt/Natalie. If for some reason Ryan and Allison win PoV, Matt and Natalie will go home, and James and Chelsia can win the next HoH and put ryan and Allison up again. Why do they always strategize and not plan out the “what ifs” as well?
Once Chelsia leaves the HoH, Allison comes up to talk to Josh and Sharon. She apologizes for what she said this morning to Josh and also wants to know why he’s mad at her. She wants Josh and Sharon to know how much she adores them, they’re her favorite people in the house. She has never felt connected at all to Ryan, and she waits they weren’t partners. She claims to only have flopped with the votes this week because Sheila and Adam refused to. She adds that Ryan was dead set against getting rid of Matt and Natalie.
Before Allison can leave the HoH room to get that Clearance tag for the Brooklyn Bridge, Josh has a few things he wants to say. He’s exhausted and doesn’t want to fight anymore, but is upset with her for starting all this drama saying he wanted to choke her. When he went into the DR, he flatly refused saying anything, and when they played the tape back for him in the DR, it was proven that he hadn’t said a thing. He refuses to talk to her anymore. Allison blames it all on being on Prednisone, Benadryl, and Pepcid.
The next person Allison throws under the bus is Natalie. She asks Sharon if it was Natalie that came to her and told her who she was really after. Sharon says it was, and Allison nearly throws herself on the bus, as she starts to explain how it was all her idea, then stops and says she just can’t believe it because it never happened. Sharon asks her to please not go out there and cause more drama. And … she’s asking this of Allison? The only other worse person to ask would have been Amanda.
Allison leaves, and Chelsia comes in again, talking to Sharon about the plan. They figure they’ll just wait and see what happens with PoV. James then enters, and asks if the plan is still on to evict Allison and Ryan. When the two girls don’t answer right away, he freaks out that they’re actually thinking of keeping her and asks if they’re on crack. Somehow everyone found out about the final two plan of James/Chelsia and Josh/Sharon, and James gets pissed at Chelsia for blowing it, storming out.
Chelsia goes down and announces to everyone that she told no one about a final two. While ADam and James both say they heard Allison talking about it, Ryan backs her up, saying he thinks something must have been misinterpreted. Chelsia then resigns, going to bed, and calling everyone stupid MFers. You have to love it.
Matt and James talk about Allison, calling her diabolical the way she messes with people. James plans to still keep Operation Gardener in effect. Josh and Sharon, meanwhile, are upstairs not knowing who to believe. Josh chimes in that Allison’s game play scares him. Plus, he’s ticked that everyone talks about how strong Matt and Natalie are, yet they’ve only won one comp to Josh and Sharon’s two.
After this, we lose the flames for quite some time, so it looks like the nominations are finally under way.

The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom
We now interrupt our Big Brother coverage to bring you something just a little different. (In the off-BB season, we actually cover other shows too!)
TLC SHARES THE SECRET LIFE OF A SOCCER MOM
All-New Series Hosted By Tracey Gold
Being a stay-at-home mother is an all-consuming career–and while most moms are very fulfilled by this choice, other women wonder about the dreams they left behind. TLC‘s new series THE SECRET LIFE OF A SOCCER MOM offers those women a chance to answer “what if” when it gives a full-time mom the chance to secretly live the life she gave up to raise her family. Hosted by Tracey Gold (Growing Pains), THE SECRET LIFE OF A SOCCER MOM premieres Monday, March 3, 2008 at 10 PM, part of a lineup that includes the smash hits LITTLE PEOPLE BIG WORLD and JON & KATE PLUS 8.
Each hour-long episode profiles the story of a mom as she experiences what her life could have been like if she had chosen to juggle career and family. Guided by Tracey, Mom spends one week shifting from the carpool lane to the fast lane œ giving her the opportunity to get back to the career she left behind. At the close of the episode, she makes a spectacular reveal, telling her family that she has been living a secret life, and she is asked to make a surprising choice: pursue her new dual life, or return to her family knowing that she’s made the right choice after all.
“Almost every woman experiences the pull between becoming a full-time mom or juggling both family and work. This show will give us the chance to learn what sacrifices and rewards there are in making this challenging and unique decision,” explains Brant Pinvidic, SVP Programming, TLC. “Each episode ends up being a remarkable voyage as we see them accomplish goals they never thought possible and then make the decision about which path they should pursue.”
During this season, viewers will meet women like Adrian, a mother of three who dreams of making it big in the fashion industry; Kathryn, who met her husband in culinary school and now wants to see if she can handle the heat of a professional kitchen; and Jeannie who wonders if being a police officer œ like her husband œ will be as rewarding as raising her four children. Each episode of THE SECRET LIFE OF A SOCCER MOM will bring viewers along on an exciting and emotional journey as these mom experience life both at home and work.
“As a working mom myself, I can completely relate to the hard choices we face when balancing family and career,” explains Tracey Gold. “This show is very inspirational and gives these women - many who thought they‘d never have return to their careers - a chance to see what they are capable of.”
THE SECRET LIFE OF A SOCCER MOM is a production of GRB. Photo of Tracey Gold courtesy TLC.
BB9 - Second Food Comp Is Over
The food comp appears to be over. The girls are wearing green unitards, except for Sharon who is wearing overalls along with Joshuah. The rest of the guys are wearing brightly coloured aprons. They seem to be on outdoor lockdown. Natalie is saying that it was all a team effort, so it sounds like they were playing for food categories for the house. They got beverages for sure, but don’t seem too disappointed in the items they didn’t get.
There’s some chatter about how much they all weigh having an effect on the result, as well as something about crates. Sorry, that’s all I’ve got to go on.
Everyone’s getting along just fine, for now.
Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 28th, Morning – Joshuah and Allison at it Again
The wake up call comes at 9:30 this morning. Josh and Sharon are already making plans for next week, saying that once Allison and Ryan are gone, they can backdoor Mattalie. But of course we know there’s a twist coming up, the game could be turning individual, and that you can’t backdoor someone if they play for and win the veto.
Josh claims that he will go off on Allison before the veto comp, but that’ll be the last time he does it. Sharon thinks he should do it to Natalie next week too, but he says no. She’s too innocent for something like that. The stripper who rubbed whipped cream all over her boobs and let others lick it off is too innocent for a verbal assault? Really?
Sheila and Allison laugh about Ryan being upset about the lesbian thing, calling it “so last week.” Natalie is there too, and she’s still complaining about Matty not talking to her. Let. It. Go.
Allison tells Chelsia and then Adam that she went up to Joshuah and told him that he did a great acting job last night. She seems to think this is incredibly funny. She thinks that there’s no way he passed the psych exam to get into the house. Honey, Booger passed the psych test. Crappy, April, Amber, Zach … they all passed the psych test. How hard can the test be?
Ryan comes out of the DR and says that there’s a competition coming up “soon.” They say exactly what I’m thinking: that “soon” will be in three or four hours. They all figure it’s a food comp, and complain about the possibility of going on slop. Lots of speculation on what the comp will be like.
Joshuah is in the kitchen, and Allison comes walking through. They bicker, even as Allison goes to the bathroom to put her face on. Joshuah’s telling her that he can’t wait to send her home. She counters by wondering what Josh’s boyfriend Chase is doing right now, and who he might be “butt-f*cking.” She says, “that’s what gay guys do.” And that would be another clip we won’t be seeing on the actual show.
More arguing, and then Allison comes into the kitchen. Joshuah tells her to stay at least five feet away, but she says she can go wherever she wants to and he has to move if she comes near him. Wow, she really is a bitch. This brings up flames, of course.
Joshuah goes upstairs to pace in his anger. Sharon tries to calm him down, talking about the upcoming veto competition. They wonder if they should put Allison and Ryan on the block, or try to backdoor them. Sharon tells him to go get everyone else except Allison and Ryan, and they’ll have a house meeting to figure it all out.
Joshuah goes downstairs and loudly tells everyone except the dead couple walking that they need to go up to the HoH room for a meeting. Allison and Ryan sit and whine while everyone else goes up. The meeting is interrupted constantly by flames, as Allison is downstairs complaining about CBS allowing this to happen. What? Allowing what to happen? Is no one supposed to yell at poor Allison? I doubt that’s in the rule book.
Upstairs, the general consensus is to put Allison and Ryan on the block along with Matt and Natalie, who are ensured safety this week. We’ll see how that goes, won’t we? If Allison and Ryan win the veto, it’s bye-bye Mattalie.
The flames reappear and then go to trivia, so either BB is laying a royal smackdown, or we’re waiting for food comp results.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 27th, After the Live Show – Another BB First: The Restraining Order
Joshuah and Sharon are the new HoH couple, and Josh spends a lot of time hooting and hollering about their victory. Apparently, before the feeds came back, there was a shouting match between Allison and Joshuah, with Josh calling her a bitch. Imagine that.
Allison makes a point of telling Matt and Natalie that she’s the sole reason they are still in the house (even though it was her idea to oust them in the first place), so he’d better make good on his promise to use the veto on her this week when she goes on the block. Do we all foresee Mattalie throwing the veto if they get to play?
Allison says that she wants to egg Joshuah on and make him so mad that he hits her, thereby eliminating himself from the game. Josh is already on a mission to get Allison out of the house – can’t wait to find out what this “Operation” will be called. He’s telling everyone that he wants Allison out this week.
Sheila goes to Sharon, who is obviously the more reasonable of the two, and says that she understands if she and Adam have to go on the block as pawns, but she would be willing to vote the way that Sharon and Josh want her too if she’s not nominated. Sheila also points out that she and Adam haven’t done well in the comps so far, so if Sharon is looking for someone to be able to beat Allison and Ryan in the veto, they probably aren’t her best bet. That’s not a bad strategy there Sheila – well done.
Natalie joins this conversation, as does Joshuah. Natalie, dear sweet Beaver-State Natalie, tells Josh that he has to keep yelling at Allison, especially before the veto competition, to break her down and hurt her performance in the comp.
Allison ramps up the drama by saying that Joshuah is scaring her by threatening physical violence and almost hit her with his HoH key when he was swinging it around.
Joshuah mentions that he wants the vote split so that he can have the honour of evicting Allison himself. He’s only been co-HoH for a couple of hours, and he’s already got the whole week planned out. He gets called to the DR, where they tell him (according to what he tells his “group” when he returns) to keep his distance from Allison because she’s accusing him of physical threats. In fact, he has to stay five feet away from her at all times. He tells Sheila that she’s safe this week, and that what he really wants is for Allison to leave voluntarily.
Ryan is getting edgy, and pleads with Adam to use the veto on him and Allison if he wins it. Adam bugs his eyes out and says that he doesn’t even know if he’ll be playing for it. Ryan has a whole scenario planned though, that Adam can win the veto, save Ryan, and then vote to keep Matt in the house, thereby saving the alliance and making Joshuah responsible for James and Chelsia’s demise.
Time now for an end-of-slop pizza party. The whole house gathers ’round the table for a pretend happy-families meal.
Allison gets deeper and deeper into the victim role, telling Ryan that she put a “restraining order” on Joshuah because she’s afraid of him. She also says that she really doesn’t care what “a retarded gay man” thinks of her. Ruh roh. I guess we know this clip will never make it on air, huh?
Meanwhile, Adam, James, and Matt have developed a new “Operation.” We saw that coming, right? It’s “Operation Gardener,” so-named because Allison likes to plant seeds. Hee. That one’s actually kind of funny.
Allison, who is apparently so afraid of Joshuah, starts yelling at him and Sharon about calling her a bitch. Joshuah likens Allison to wallpaper, saying that she’s so boring even he can’t be bothered to put her up. Which would be funny if he hadn’t been talking about putting her up for the past several hours.
Allison leaves, and Adam and Sharon tell Ryan about Allison’s plan to bait Joshuah and get him thrown out of the game. This angers Ryan, and he goes to confront his partner. They shout at each other a bit, and Ryan leaves. They both refuse to talk to the other until one of them apologizes. And of course they don’t want to be the one to apologize first. So third-grade.
Allison tells Chelsia that Ryan had better smarten up and realize that she saved their asses this week, because if he doesn’t, she’s going to make damn sure they get evicted. Good lord, what is wrong with this woman? Then she decides that she’s had enough, and wants to quit. She’s pissed off that BB isn’t doing anything about Joshuah’s threats except telling him to stay five feet away from her. Chelsia tries to convince her to stay, probably knowing that if Allison walks, it’ll be either Jen or Amanda who comes back to take her place. And no one wants that.
Chelsia goes to tell Ryan how upset Allison is, and he doesn’t care. Someone brings up the lesbian lie, and it seems that this is the first time Ryan’s heard it. Chelsia tells him everything, and this makes him even angrier. He wants her to leave as well, wondering why he would want to keep a partner who continually messes with him game.
A bunch of hamsters get together in one of the bedrooms, lying on all of the beds and the floor. Chelsia is talking about (and touching, apparently) Sheila’s boobs. Sheila notices Matt has a hard on. James says that he keeps having sex dreams about Sheila, and offers to go “three rounds” with her if she wants to. Sigh. It always comes back to this stuff.
Joshuah goes to the memory wall, takes Allison’s key, and puts it down the back of his pants, seemingly wiping his butt with it. He hangs the key back up on the wall. Gross. And just … wrong.
Allison and Ryan go at it again, with Ryan telling her that the whole lesbian thing is going to come out tomorrow (doesn’t everyone else know about this?) and that people will know that she’s a liar. She tries to blame all of it on Sheila, and takes responsibility for the two of them still being in the house. Ryan argues this point, saying that he worked hard for James and Chelsia’s votes the first week. They call each other names and Ryan walks away.
Natalie is once again upset that Matt doesn’t want to talk to her, but liked her enough to ask for a hand job. Hee. They fight, and Natalie runs off crying, saying that she too wants to go home. Open the door, BB. Let ‘em walk. Allison joins Natalie for a pity party.
Joshuah decides to decorate Allison’s bowl/cup with “-6 Ugly Bitch” in nail polish. I see he’s adopted Parker’s rating system. A little while later though, he goes and puts the bowl in the storage room and washes the key before putting it back on the memory wall.
Sheila comes up to tell Sharon and Josh that Ryan tried to kiss Allison and now she’s mad that she can’t have him. Or something. Who the hell knows.
Things finally start to settle down and people are getting ready for bed. Joshuah gets called to the DR, and moans that he knows what this is about. Heh. When he returns, he tells Sharon that he’s not allowed to talk about it, but everything is fine. The lights go out, and we’re on night vision watching the hamsters sleep.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 25th, Part Two – Milking It
Looks like I’m getting a little behind in the live feed recappage, so let’s blaze through this somewhat dull evening and get back on track.
This week’s vote hinges on how Ryan and Allison decide to play it. They spend a lot of time discussing the pros and cons of hooking up with either Matt/Natalie and Adam/Sheila, or James/Chelsia and Joshuah/Sharon. Either way, it looks like Alex and Amanda will be left to fend for themselves if (and that’s a big “if”) they survive the vote.
Amanda is fixing some slop in the kitchen, and saying that her sugar is low and she doesn’t feel well. That could be because the girl just doesn’t eat this week. Allison tells her that she needs to eat more because BB is going to be upset with her that she’s doing this to herself.
Natalie has done her hair in what she calls the “Farrah Fawcett” style. So basically feathered. It’s not hideous, and certainly better than those goofy butterfly clips she had before, but she keeps talking about this hairdo and how much she loves it.
Amanda works on Ryan, telling him that he and Allison are safe if she and Alex win HoH. Matt goes one better and promises Allison that he’d use the veto on her and Ryan if he won it and they were on the block. They pinkie-swear on being the final two couples, and decide to target Sharon and Joshuah next.
Allison goes back to Ryan, and they share the deals that have been offered. Ryan wants to keep Alex and Amanda, which puts a real wrinkle in Allison’s plans. She says that they’d be better off with Mattalie, but Ryan thinks it’s a gamble to keep them. Hello, your partner is a gambling addict. Ryan doesn’t really confirm either way, and now I’m wondering if Allison is really going to let him decide how their vote goes.
Adam shows up, and Allison tells him and Ryan both that they’re pretty hot guys but would be even hotter if they quit smoking. Please. The words “Adam” and “hot” definitely do not belong anywhere near each other. They discuss the upcoming HoH competition, and of course, one of them have to win it. Adam wants it to be a memory thing, because he “don’t forget nothin’.”
Allison goes inside and meets up with Matt in the storage room. She tells him that he’s safe this week, but he can’t tell anyone and he has to understand that she and Ryan are making a huge gamble on this. Which apparently makes Allison giddy. Then she tells him that he has to win HoH. Because all game plans hinge on having to win HoH.
Ryan goes upstairs and tries to play like he’s sticking with the plan to vote out Mattalie. Except that he isn’t really a good liar. I don’t think James, Chelsia, Sharon, and Joshuah are buying it. When he leaves, Sharon mentions that Amanda is planning to cause some drama tonight and call out someone who’s been lying. Oooh, she might want to enlist Joshuah’s help with that one. He’s pretty good at making a big scene.
Alex and Amanda are surprised that things in the house are so boring. They figured they’d have things to do all the time, and instead all they do is hang around, eat, sleep, and play outside. I’ve said this before, but if you’re going to commit three months of your life to a reality show, wouldn’t you do all you could to research what that particular chunk of your life is going to be like? It’s crazy that people sign contracts and move into the BB house/trailer and then not understand basic things like the live feeds and the boredom.
Matt and James talk outside, and Matt plays dumb (I know, it’s hardly an act, right?) about what he knows about the vote. He tells James that he isn’t his number one target next week, should he still be in the house – he’s number two. Oh, well that should make James feel better. Matt complains about Natalie as well, saying that he’s the only one she trusts in the house and he has to explain everything to her like she’s a child. They both think Natalie will have emotional problems after leaving the house. Matt says that he really tries to make her see that things in the house aren’t real, but she doesn’t see it.
Speaking of Natalie, she’s having a down day. She’s depressed because no one listens to her in the house. She’s stood with people all day, and no one is listening to her or including her in conversations.
Matt goes to Natalie and tells her that she shouldn’t walk around looking sad like that. She asks him if she should just give up her personality and be a bitch then, like everyone else. Heh. He says no, that she should stay sweet and nice, but not to trust anybody. He says that now it’s just the two of them and Allison, and they have to stick to that. They hug, and the conversation is done.
Chelsia, James, Josh, and Sharon are still holed up in the HoH room. Sharon thinks that Natalie knows that she and Matt are leaving this week, and that’s why she’s been depressed all day. Chelsia thinks this is a problem, because Mattalie leaving is supposed to be a big shocker, even though it’s not going to happen. This group of four is ridiculous – they suspect Allison is flipping, but then they think Natalie is acting strange because the vote is staying the same. Chelsia sends Sharon down to cheer Natalie up.
Someone’s found a bunch of multi-colored dental dams in the condom drawer. Matt is all over them, wrapping them around his head and sticking his tongue out. Even Sheila gets in on this action. They look really silly, but at least they’re having some fun in there. Natalie comes out and tries one, and she’s smiling finally.
Ryan and Allison are playing chess in the living room, and there are quite a few people watching them. I can’t think of anything more dull than watching other people play chess. Joshuah is giving Natalie a massage in the spa room, and warning her that there are a lot of people in the house who will stab her in the back, so she needs to be careful who she trusts. He’s talking about Allison of course, but she doesn’t catch it. Instead, she wants to know who was sucking on her boobs last night. That’s something that most people don’t have to wonder often, I’ll bet.
After the massage, Natalie decides to paint Joshuah’s portrait – with nail polish. And she’s actually making a pretty nice picture. It doesn’t look a helluva lot like Josh, you understand, but considering the medium she’s stuck with, it’s commendable. She’s a little concerned about what happened last night, because her father might have been watching on Showtime. Ew.
Adam and Ryan are outside smoking, and Adam thinks Sheila is jealous because he “made out with” all the girls in the hot tub last night. Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Snort. This boy really does live in a world all his own. James comes out for a smoke, and after they yell for a while just for the sake of yelling, they decide to play pool.
Joshuah and Sharon are bored, so they decide to make water balloons with the condoms. They get going on this project, but BB interjects and tells them to “Knock it off!” Heh. Not to be deterred, they then set up a bowling game using protein shake bottles and a small basketball from outside. The bowling alley is in the long hallway from the bathroom to the kitchen. It actually looks like a lot of fun.
The bowling and chess games continue, with Amanda now playing chess with Allison. Others are walking around making food in the kitchen, because nothing cures boredom like eating. Natalie and Joshuah decide to paint the bowling pin bottles with nail polish, so they retire to the spa room to undertake this task. Amanda joins them in the arts and crafts project.
After some more milling about, Sheila, Allison, Amanda, and Natalie are in one of the bedrooms talking about whether or not you can breastfeed after having breast implants. Natalie says she has milk right now, and can squeeze it out. And she does! She pulls her shirt down and squeezes her boob, and whoosh – milk comes shooting out. That’s … odd. Sheila says, “That can’t be normal.” No kidding. Natalie says she’s been able to do that ever since she had her abortion “3 or 4 years ago.”
Natalie tells Chelsia about this bodily phenomenon, and Chelsia makes her go into the bathroom and show her too. Natalie says that her doctor told her it was normal, because her pregnancy was so far along when she had her abortion, and her body hasn’t registered yet that she’s not actually pregnant. What the hell? What kind of messed up doctor would tell her that, “3 or 4 years” after being pregnant?
Natalie is regaling anyone who will listen with stories about her abortions. Now she’s saying she’s had two – one when she was 19, and another a few years later. She found out she was pregnant right before her boob job was scheduled to happen, so she asked her boyfriend to pee in the cup for her so the boob job could go along as scheduled. If the lab actually tested this urine, wouldn’t they know it was from a male and not a female? Just asking. Then she had the surgery, and an abortion a couple of weeks later. She claims that she was on birth control both times.
A few random hamsters are getting ready for bed now. Yay. Matt and Amanda have a little chat about how weird it is that one of them will be evicted soon. They both say they’re not going to campaign against each other (little late for that now) and that they can’t believe neither pair could pull it together and win the veto.
Adam, Matt, and Natalie sit and talk for a while. Matt makes a final four deal with Adam, saying that he promised Ryan he wouldn’t put him up, but this is a game and all’s fair. Natalie seems to agree. Matt warns Natalie to keep a low profile tomorrow and not mess anything up for them. He and Adam get all excited talking about how they’re going to take Joshuah down and send him goodbye messages with lisps and other stereotypical gay themes. Ugh.
After this conversation, it’s lights out for everyone. Tomorrow is voting day, and Matt is planning to confront Joshuah as soon as all of the votes are locked in. Will it actually happen? Who the hell knows.

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 25th, Part One – Wise Up Sucker(s)
I’m trying to atone for titling one of the feed recaps with that horrible Margaritaville song by giving this one the title of a great tune by Pop Will Eat Itself. Plus, it’s fitting on so many levels. Am I forgiven?
So last night we had an evening full of debauchery, led by Natalie the former stripper who loves god, bikinis, and coffee. That just never gets old, does it? Today I’m expecting a lot of rehash conversations, and a discussion about how much of that (if any) will be shown on TV, which will lead to the inevitable (and incorrect) conclusion that the ratings must be going through the roof. Let’s see if I’m right.
It’s a slow morning, as Joshuah gets up first, followed by Sheila and Alex. Sheila seems to be trying to find a loophole in the whole “couples” theme, asking about the specifics of what BB told them. She’s got some nail polish, and is writing “Hudson” – and then we get flames. When we come back a couple of minutes later, the paper towel is gone. No idea what that was all about.
Other people are waking up now, and drinking coffee out of bowls. The sun is shining, so there are a few people putting on their swimsuits to catch some rays. Not much to report on here. BB issues a wakeup call at 11am.
Sharon and Josh talk about the vote. It sounds like they’re still set on keeping Alex and Amanda, and both of them say that they trust Amanda now. Silly hamsters. I think Sharon just enjoyed making out with Alex last night and doesn’t want to send him home now.
Speaking of which, Amanda and Matt are in the kitchen discussing the prior evening’s events. Amanda is trying to act cool about Alex and Sharon’s kissing, but she’s sure talking about it a lot. Natalie comes out saying that she feels fine this morning because she drank a lot of water before she went to bed. The fact that they didn’t really have all that much alcohol might have something to do with it as well.
Matt and Natalie head for the storage room, where Matt coaches Natalie on what she should say to Joshuah and Sharon. He wants her to remind them of everything Amanda has pulled since the beginning, and mention that she plays the “dad” thing up for sympathy. Matt is emphasizing how this is all up to Natalie now, to ensure their safety. He tells her to watch Amanda, and not let her get any alone time with Joshuah and Sharon.
Ah-ha. Here we go. Natalie goes outside to sit with Joshuah, who is gabbing with Allison and Alex about last night. They all think that the ratings for BB: After Dark must be … you guessed it … through the roof. Alex thinks they should be interviewed live on Showtime tonight about everything that went down. Because apparently Alex doesn’t understand the whole point of BB:AD.
Lot of intermittent flames today, because of the small talk. For example, Allison once dated a pro golfer whose name is … flames. Amanda had a friend who perished in a wood chipper … flames. Matt went out with this girl … flames. I get why they have to do this, but wood-chipper guy could hardly sign a release, so we should have got a pass on that one.
Most of the guys decide that it’s time to work out. Alex and Natalie are playing basketball. Sheila’s gone back inside because she’s decided that she’s fried herself sufficiently for the day. Again, not much going on. At least not much that would make for interesting reading. BB calls an outdoor lockdown, so everyone’s outside now.
Amanda and Natalie decide to do water aerobics in the pool, after both attempting to lift weights and failing miserably. That could be because the guys gave them 95 pounds to lift on their first try. Ryan gets in the pool too, and ends up talking with Natalie about how much of last night’s festivities will be shown on TV, and how they must be the most outrageous hamsters in the history of the show. Sigh. Natalie actually says that it wasn’t that bad – she didn’t show her boobs much. What the eff? Her twins got more camera time than most of the other houseguests combined. Ryan is a little concerned that Jen will dump him because of it.
There’s a pool game going on, some people are stretching and doing yoga on towels, and others are just sitting around watching. Like me. Just sitting around watching. I need to get out more.
Sheila thinks she has figured out the “Hudson River” thing. The exact quote is ” Hudson River Virus: those that are affected by it will be isolated from the outside world.” So she thinks that those evicted are flown to New York, because that’s where the Hudson River is.
The lockdown is over, and Allison and Matt are talking alliances. Allison offers that James and Chelsia told her that they’re in a partnership with Joshuah and Sharon. Well yeah they told her that, because she and Ryan are supposed to be a part of it. Oy. She floats the idea of a 6-person alliance with her and Ryan, Sheila and Adam, and Mattalie. She says she has to talk to Ryan about it, of course. Matt is all over this idea, and says that whatever Amanda offers her to stay, he’ll offer more. She wants him to promise not to put her/Ryan up if they win HoH next week, which he does. Hasn’t he promised just about everyone that now?
Upstairs, James, Chelsia, Joshuah, and Sharon are talking about Allison and how they’re nervous because she’s spending so much time with Amanda. Chelsia plans to ask her about it later. They still think that they’ll be able to save Alex and Amanda, and plan to tell them at the last minute that they’re safe as long as they offer them safety in return if they win HoH. Wanna know what the rest of the plan is? Win alternate HoH’s for the rest of the game. Yep, that’s a winner all right.
Joshuah is peeved that Alex told a sob story about losing his dad on 9-11, but didn’t tell them that he got a settlement afterwards. Josh seems to think that this settlement was worth at least a million dollars, but probably closer to six million. Please. First of all, who in the world would have come up with the cash to give settlements of $6 million to all of the survivors of 9-11 victims? Second of all, why does that make losing his dad any easier? Josh doesn’t like that Alex carries that cross around with him all the time for sympathy (the one that’s made out of metal from the Twin Towers).
Now they’re plotting how to make people on slop miserable. They want to get on a team with Alex and Amanda next week for the food comp and lose it on purpose. Then, they’ll take all of the pickles and honey and all of the other approved slop-condiments, and hide them in the HoH room to make things worse for A & A. Very clever. Hide food from the girl who passed out from low blood sugar. Idiots. Someone mentions that they should hide everything with sugar in it the day before the HoH comp so Amanda can’t possibly win. Finally Sharon tells them they’re going too far. Yay for Sharon.
Matt is telling Allison that he made the finals for that horrible Tila Tequila show, but decided to do BB instead. Lucky us.
Joshuah and Sharon hit the storage room and stress out over Allison’s newfound relationship with Amanda. Which isn’t all that bad when you consider that the plan is to vote out Matt and Natalie anyway, so why are they all concerned about the vote? These two (and most of the rest of them, I guess) haven’t yet figured out that strategies have to be flexible. You can’t plan out the rest of the game in week two.
Heh, Ryan just came outside and said that he was called to the DR, and Amanda told him to tell them she’s not feeling well again. He says, “Oh god, I think Amanda’s dying again.” I know, I know. I gave the others shit for making fun of Amanda’s near-death experience, but this guy isn’t plotting to take her down again. There’s a difference, even if it’s a subtle one. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Joshuah and Chelsia get Allison upstairs in the HoH room, and immediately start in on her about her new BFF Amanda. Allison says that Amanda thinks they have a bond now because they were both rushed to the hospital on the same night. She doesn’t trust Amanda though, and tells them all not to worry, she hasn’t made any deals. Ultimately, she says, the decision will be Ryan’s. Oh sure, leave your partner responsible. Allison says that, ideally, Matt and Natalie will go this week, then Alex and Amanda, and then Sheila and Adam. Chelsia agrees, and tells everyone not to worry because she won’t let Alex and Amanda win HoH next week. I’d really like to know how, since she can’t play.
Allison throws out a scenario where they keep Matt and Natalie this week, but Chelsia won’t even consider it. Allison leaves and James comes up, so Joshuah and Chelsia go for the instant drama and tell him that Allison seems to be flipping and that they’re really worried. Joshuah is visibly shaken, which isn’t all that unusual or surprising for Josh. James tells Joshuah to bring it all out in the open – both deals that Allison has made with Matt/Natalie and Alex/Amanda. Then let her try and wriggle her way out of it. Don’t see how that will help much, but whatever.
Allison goes to Natalie and tells her about the conversation she just had with Joshuah and Chelsia. She confirms that she’s with Mattalie and Sheila/Adam. I applaud Allison for actually playing the game, but she’s really overplaying her hand right now. Just shut the hell up and wait it out a bit.
Joshuah goes right to Amanda and tells her not to trust Allison, because she’s going to vote Amanda and Alex out this week. Amanda is scared now, because she thinks that Sheila will follow along and do whatever Allison tells her to do.
Ryan and Allison take to the hammock to discuss the vote. Ryan thinks that they should team up with Matt and Natalie, and Allison acts like this is a fabulous and new idea that she hadn’t considered. Now she’s even playing her partner – you know, the one she was afraid was going to make deals without including her? She tells him to go and talk to Matt, and make a deal with him. Ryan says that he likes and trusts James and Chelsia, but he’s not keen on Joshuah and Sharon.
Ryan is unsure, because he feels badly going against James and Chelsia and Josh and Sharon, after they all kept him in the game and sent Jen and Parker home. He wants to make an alliance with Matt and Natalie, but also knows that if Sharon and Joshuah win HoH, they’re screwed. Allison coaches him to stay non-committal then, and not tell anyone how he’s voting. Then he can take all the time he needs to think about their options, and no one can come back on him about it.
I much prefer the strategy sessions to the stripping and hot tub shenanigans, don’t you? More coming up in part two!

Big Brother 9 Live Feeds, February 17th – Part II, A Wild Night For Sure!
Okay, let’s hope we’re through with the uncomfortableness of the first half of the day. I just want to be done talking and arguing about Amanda’s dad. R.I.P.
It only gets more weird, Folks. Dinner is being prepared, and as Amanda comes out of the sauna with huge rollers in her hair, she stands and squeezes her butt for people to notice it, then gets mad at Adam for making a crack, saying the rollers can only make her look better, and for some reason he is being punished, doing pushups.
Here’s shocking news. Natalie used to work at Hooters.
Sheila would like plastic surgery, and thinks Dr. Will is the perfect candidate to do it, and he can then do it on Dr. 90210. James gets on her case about being an actress, and she tells him she knows where he’s going with that. He counters that he left his emotions at the door, as there’s just no room for that here. Allison emerges just then from cleaning the toilet and announces that she cleaned 20 boogers off the back of the toilet. James looks at Sheila and tells her that’s her partner’s doing. She passes by that, for once, and talks about James’ great attitude instead. Is this an all-new Sheila? He asks about her ex, and she says he is in Joan Jett’s band, and is married and living in Jamaica. Apparently it’s not Scott Baio they’re discussing.
Discussing her book, Sheila again says this is only to get publicity for the book and also says her ghostwriter is getting 50%. James talks about knowing a Korean couple that wrote a book on power yoga, and he was helping them shop the book before he went out on the road. Sheila talks about her acting and says no one ever took her seriously with it, because of Penthouse. James admits to doing some acting in the past as well, but says he couldn’t get into it, as he didn’t like messing with people’s emotions. But … you choose to then do BB? He makes a tie-in, saying he’s noticed how people have changed in the house, which has Sheila saying three era a bunch of “batshit crazy” people in the BB house this year. “Hi Pot. This is Kettle. You’re black.”
The talk goes back to BB, as James says what’s good about having HoH is these shower, the power, and escaping the fights. They talk about getting booted, then flying to NYC for The Early Show, then back to L.A. for House Calls and People Magazine. Sheila mentions she didn’t go through the normal audition process, as they were looking for an older woman to shake things up a little. She answered a Craigslist ad, but she didn’t know it was for BB. Maybe it’s just me, but I find it hysterical that BB found some of these people on Craigslist. Sheila also says Evel Dick isn’t her type, but Dr. Will is. To each his own.
Absolutely nothing of major importance goes on for quite some time here, the eating of slop, shaving chests, playing basketball, etc. Allison makes an interesting statement, though, noting that the guys in the house seem to be in charge. I have to say I’ve noticed the same thing. The girls seem to let the guys make the decisions over who to evict, nominate, etc. They’re setting womanhood back fifty years! All they need is a nifty apron and Amanda’s high heels, and we’ll have a house of Mrs. Cleavers. As if to exemplify the point. Natalie thanks Matt for being nice to her today.
Amanda seems to be worried being on the block. She tells Allison she won’t nominate her again, then talks to Ryan with the same, saying she hasn’t been campaigning. He thinks he and Allison are the swing votes this week. It’s not that that has Josh worried, though as he tells her if she were a bird, she’d be a “cock-a-tease.” Then they dance together. Alrighty. Alex is busy with Natalie tossing slop on each other. After, Allison plucks Alex’ eyebrows for him. The fun ends when BB gives the house beer and wine.
It’s happening again. Natalie chugged a beer upon request, but won’t do anymore until Show-time starts. Sigh. Everyone is planning a group bubble bath for that time as well. No more beer pong. This year we have a drinking game that includes stripping. Natalie and Chelsia will strip and the guys will pay them with fake money. Josh will be the host. Whoever gets more money gets a back massage from the guys. I don’t want to know anything about the “Posing Pouch” that Adam brought with him and that Josh is wearing over his regular underwear, claiming a lack of junk is making it not totally filled.
Josh goes to change and comes out wearing a pink shirt and the posing pouch, with just a thong on underneath. The two girls change as well, and are now wearing men’s black shirts and long black socks. Interesting. The girls strip together, with the names Natalia and Gretchen, and it’s a very strong R rating on this one. Josh even gets in on the action a little, I suppose he can’t help himself. Lots of lap dances, including on Ryan (man, will Jen be pissed), and then Natalie and Chelsia kiss, with the guys shouting for them to make out.
It only gets more wild after this as cucumbers and whip cream come out. Natalie quite enjoys the cucumbers in two different ways, I’ll let you figure it out, and James and Chelsia enjoy the whip cream … off of Natalie, as both girls have their tops off. I’m just reporting it.
After, Natalie is declared the winner, and she adds that she hopes her dad isn’t watching, as she’s never made out with a girl before, and Chelsia is absolutely shocked about that. Natalie seems to be more comfortable topless, not putting her top back on, and everyone begins jumping in the pool. Josh has no clothes on, and the other guys are in their underwear. Natalie and Chelsia go topless and play chicken in the pool. Natalie wins, but BB stops the fun, telling them to knock it off. The two girls apologize to their family and friends and make out again, as Natalie says she’ll try anything once.
This turns into a full out orgy, with everyone making out with each other. Matt and Chelsia, Matt and Natalie, Chelsia and Josh, Natalie and Josh, Chelsia and Natalie and Josh, Sharon and Matt, Chelsia and Alex. Ryan is out in the fun, but refuses to participate. Sheila, calling it porn, is in the kitchen watching, with Allison and Amanda. Adam even gets a little from Chelsia and Natalie. Sharon refuses to kiss the girls, and Matt refuses to kiss Josh. Matt also refuses Natalie, who chases him around trying to catch him, and Josh comments, “That beaver is hungry!”
The party’s over, and everyone showers. Too bad it’s not a cold shower day. Sheila must have felt she was missing out on something, as she tells James she will make out with him sometime before she leaves. Party pooper Amanda starts talking about STDs.
This all leaves everyone a little unsure now about the plans for eviction. They all thought they wanted Matt and Natalie out, but everyone just had entirely too much fun. Chelsia tells Allison she has other concerns. She’s worried James will now think she’s into Matt, but she really likes James, with the talks they have every night. Yet, why was she put with James to begin with? She starts to worry about setups and is just very confused.
The guys are talking outside, and Matt again says he’s trying not to hurt Natalie (apparently that’s why you let a girl give you a blow job … to let her down easy), but he’d really love to “bang” Sharon. James wants Chelsia. They also take over Parker’s job rating the girls. Matt loved Chelsia’s legs tonight. The talk returns to the game as Matt refuses to campaign against Alex, and thinks Amanda is campaigning. He is starting to wonder if Operation Condor is aimed at him. He wants to go remind Allison of all the stuff Amanda has done to her so far, hoping that will help the vote.
The talk goes to next week as well, as Josh worries about not being able to play for HoH next week, and knows that makes him a target, if not even backdoored. He also worries that he’s been left out of the strategizing being holed up in HoH. Everyone is wondering why Josh and Amanda are suddenly close. James says he’ll do anything to stay in the house, even break his hand thinking no one would want to evict someone that’s injured. We know the guy is homeless, but he keeps telling us he wants it that way. Now you have to wonder about the truth behind that.
The guys discuss Alex, and how “by the book” he is, being that he still lives with him mom, and his grandma lives downstairs. Matt says he knows Alex owns his own DJ company, as he promised him a job if he moved out to L.A. He also knows Alex’s father left him money. Adam didn’t know any of this, and that surprises Josh, how out of the loop Adam is. I’m telling you, he’s Zach II.
James still says he’ll do whatever he needs to to stay. He even says he’ll cool it with Chelsia for now, as it seems that their relationship is a worry to others. I don’t think he can, though, as unlike the others in the house, I think he has actually fallen for her, and I think she’s starting to do the same.
The guys come back inside for snacks, and discuss how great it is to be up at this time. They also complain about their mates, with Adam complaining about sleeping next to “Grandma.” I don’t think she’s too thrilled about it either. Matt asks if he wants to switch. Y’know, those wouldn’t be bad couples!
The talk is just random after this about winning the money and cashing the big check at the bank, Parker, and Adam’s booger-wiping. They also talk yet again about wanting HoH next week. They wonder if the season is going to be real short, because of the couples, then guess a couple might be coming back, with the possibility of an all new couple. It’s odd they don’t even guess that maybe it will be individual after this.
Eventually the guys go to bed, and all is quiet except for James who just can’t seem to settle down. What a wild night. I don’t blame him for not being able to settle down.
