BB9 Endurance HoH Comp - Big Brother Disco
Okay, before we get into this, can I please ask what tonight’s live eviction show’s editor was smoking? The whole Matt-blowing-up-at-Josh thing doesn’t make any sense whatsoever without showing him throwing a glass of water at Natalie and then shouting at her like he did Amanda and Allison. Good grief. Oh, and what a total waste of a week. James is out, then he’s right back in. Ridiculous. I hope anyone who paid to text in a vote asks for their money back.
Let’s move on to the comp now, shall we? I’m just going to keep updating this post, so keep checking back.
Adam’s out and smoking. Joshuah’s out as well. My feeds are really choppy so I’m going to restart the computer and see if I can get things going again. Back in a minute!
Okay, here we go again. They’re apparently allowed to bend their knees. Matt is barely hanging in. The noise is ridiculously annoying.
Ha - Natalie just asked James what Julie is like. “Like a robot.”
Matt’s out.
Sheila and James are bickering. Sheila saying that she really wanted to give Alex (or did she say Allison?) another chance to play so she voted for the mystery box. No one seems to be struggling yet, especially the girls.
Now Sheila’s struggling. No one’s talking much. Sheila says her arms are hurting. James says he’s more top-heavy than the girls, and someone chimes in “except Nat.” No kidding. Natalie says something about her “big old titties” and now we’re quiet again.
Chelsia’s trying to take her sweater off but can’t. Sheila’s complaining that she’s got nothing in her stomach. Pictures forthcoming … oh look at that, Sheila’s out.
The whole thing shakes now too. Neat. Nothing much to update. James looks like he’s hurting a bit, but that’s all.
Nat telling James she was the fifth vote to bring him back into the house. Nat’s just talking up a storm, and I think Chelsia is getting sick of it.
James says that he thought people might just let go and give him the comp. Yeah right. Nat says she isn’t going anywhere. The machine stops moving and we get trivia. We’re back, and they’re moving again. In the opposite direction.
Natalie wonders if people are watching on the internet right now. Hi Natalie. She thinks we’re cheering for her. Hmm. Out of the choices that are left, it’s a possibility.
James asks Ryan if he voted to bring him back. Ryan says no, ’cause he thought the mystery box might be Jen. Nat keeps hollering for people to save her some cookies. You just know Matt is in the kitchen mowing down on all of them.
Matt says that if Natalie wins this she’ll get her massage. Way to encourage her, asshole. Now she’s saying, “Why’s it gotta be like that Matty? Don’t you wanna feel up on my sexy body?” Please Natalie, I don’t think my dinner has digested yet. Hee! “I have a feeling we’re gonna get shot with more than just bubbles.” — Natalie, of course. Some moron just sang “Eye of the Tiger.” Not much going on, folks.
Ryan says the wind machine will kick in at the 2-hour mark. I guess he’s getting Natalie-style premonitions. Joshuah’s pacing, not making eye contact with anyone. James says he has no reason to drop unless something hits him in the head or he accidentally falls asleep. Okay then. Sharon says her arms are sore, but she’s okay. Natalie’s demonstrating how she likes to “grip it.” So many jokes. Brain imploding.
James is being an idiot - shaking and stretching and stuff. Hope he falls off. Sharon just got the “Blast from the Past” thing. Wow. I thought she had two brain cells to rub together. Totally random comment: anyone else find Matt saying “unitahd” hilarious? And he said it like four times in a row. Awesome.
Everyone’s still hanging on. James still looking uncomfortable. That’s all I’ve got right now.
Natalie insisting that she’s not dropping. James says that she’s the only hope for the three guys sitting down there. James calling her out on voting against him, and Natalie saying she did what was best for her. James is being a whiny crybaby, saying that it doesn’t matter if she voted for him to come back, she voted him out in the first place. I’m surprised Chelsia isn’t jumping in to defend him. Thank goodness she isn’t.
James is asking Natalie to be quiet. She says okay, it’s good. And keeps talking. Hee. She’s hollering at Sheila asking if she got some food. Now repeating that she’s tryin’, she’s tryin’. She doesn’t like silence. Can’t concentrate when it’s silent. She wants to have a good time up there instead of just standing there thinking. Tells them all not to mind her if she just stands there and talks to herself, she does that a lot. I’m actually loving Natalie right now.
No recent updates because there’s nothing to report. They’re all hanging in silence. Oh, James just said that the girls only want to win HoH, but he wants to win his dignity back. Okay everyone, think of James and shout as loudly as you can, “Fall Off!” Gah.
They’re all complaining that their feet hurt and toes are falling asleep. Natalie pointed out that she’s standing differently, so James readjusted and now he says he feels a lot better. Way to go, Natalie. James is now snorting and spitting loogeys. I don’t even know if I spelled that right, and I don’t care. Now he’s making fun of Chelsia for crying in her goodbye message. What a charmer.
Sharon’s blabbering about how she bets BB has done a long segment on Jacob and her Dad yapping about the Marine Corps and how strong she is and how she never gives up. Um, no Sharon. They only do that with the interesting hamsters.
Sharon’s out. She just said, “Alright, I’m done,” and let go.
Great, now James is doing his “poor me” shtick about being backdoored, and tells the others that there won’t be any more second chances in the game. Like he’s privy to some super-secret information. Chelsia and James promise each other if Natalie goes, the other will drop. James going on and on about how people just need to play straight with him, that’s all. Maybe the bubbles will cause some sort of malfunction with his microphone. Natalie just told Sheila she’s fine, it’s just like hanging on a stripper pole.
Matt’s telling Ryan that Natalie can’t make any deals for her own safety, and that if she wins he’ll tell her who to put up. He’s saying that Natalie is fine, but James is all over the place. Ryan thinks he and Matt are going up if Natalie can’t pull this off. Is it just me, or does Baller look like some deranged Billy Crystal character? Matt saying that Natalie has the power of the holy spirit in her. James says that he’s going to be there forever, but he’ll probably fall asleep and fall off. Could you do that sooner rather than later please, James?
All I’ve got now is Matt and Ryan talking about how Chelsia’s body sucks. Natalie still looks like she could stay there until the summer edition starts. James and Chelsia look tired.
Someone came out and said the storage room is open. Guys want pizza. Natalie saying that she would never call Joshuah out for being gay but she would never do that. James is saying that since someone tried to backdoor him, he wants a chance to do it back to them. James seems to be operating under the impression that the game works as a system of checks and balances. Matt saying that there’s pizza inside, they should start thinking about cutting deals. But he won’t leave and go inside until it’s all done. He’s making excuses for not staying up longer - his back has been aching, etc. Wah wah wah.
Matt went in to get pizza. Go figure. Talking about food comp tomorrow and how the three still hanging on will be out of commission. Yuck. Matt chews with his mouth open. He offers to let Sheila be on his team in the food comp so she can get off slop. James keeps trying to copy Natalie’s position on the chain, but still struggling. Natalie telling Matt that this is one of her old stripper moves, but he cuts her off and tells her to just stay on there.
James feeling sorry for himself again, saying he’s been on an emotional roller coaster for the past few days and it sucks. Natalie and Chelsia want the machine to do something different, they’re bored of it moving in the same cycle over and over again. There haven’t even been any bubbles for ages now.
Matt: “Will they cut a deal, or will they hang to the death? Tonight, on Big Brother 9!” All he’s missing is the “but first…”
Matt promising James that Natalie won’t put him up. He says that’s fine, he just wants to do something different than what he thinks Natalie will do this week. No one will name names, but they all say they’re not after each other. Right. We’ve heard that before. Another gem from Matt: “What store do you go to to buy the big spinny globe rig?”
Trivia, out of nowhere. Are they changing things up? Nope, no such luck. Matt asks Natalie to just chill and talk to them. They’re complaining about how two weeks in a row someone’s evicted and then brought back in. They think the siren’s going to go off every Wednesday now. Yeah, it’s the never-ending BB. Shoot me now.
Wait, I was wrong. James is complaining that he’s fucked because they took away his position. I think they have to stay standing now. Yep, no more squatting.
Natalie to James: “I had a chance to un-fuck you and I did it.” Hee. Sharon and Joshuah are whispering and worrying about Natalie looking so comfy up there. Ryan asks Natalie what CD she’s going to have in her HoH basket. Ryan, Matt, and Adam very impressed that James can hang on. Sharon giving general encouragement. Natalie saying “you guys don’t go up on poles like I do, so you’re doing awesome.” Gotta love her. She’s not even struggling at all.
Chelsia’s out. She fell off. And she’s pissed off. Matt’s trying to offer her food, or a dip in the hot tub to make her legs feel better, but she doesn’t want to hear it. She says she was just getting weak, that’s all. Matt’s yelling at Natalie to stay up.
James just told Natalie that he’ll drop but he was kidding. He says he wants to, but he can’t. Joshuah trying to convince Chelsia to go inside, but she wants to stay there and support James. Natalie actually looks like she’s starting to feel it - she’s moving around a lot now.
James is shaking the whole structure. He says that he’s just trying to stretch. Natalie looks pained but determined. Lots of complements from the peanut gallery. That’s about all that’s going on right now.
Planes going by overhead. Natalie moving around a lot, but still upbeat. Matt keeps telling her to stay up there. You know, she’s not the brightest crayon in the box, but I’m pretty sure she understands the point of the competition. Now Natalie’s praying. You know this isn’t a good sign. Come on Nat, hang in there.
James just told Adam, Matt, and Ryan to stop, because it’s not the time or the place. They were whispering, but I don’t know about what. James telling Natalie that whoever wins, it’s going to be because they earned it.
Natalie wants to know what kind of deal James wants, his and Chelsia’s safety? He says no, just his. He asks her if she really wants it, and she says yes. He says he’s not going to give it to her. Not yet. James thinks that everyone voted him out because he’s intimidating, so he may as well be intimidating and win something.
The machine is moving faster now. Matt and Ryan calling out encouragement to Natalie. James tells Natalie to tell him if she’s about to fall and he’ll cut a deal. She says she will, and promises to protect him and Chelsia if he wants her to, and if he wants to cut a deal with her.
Ryan just told Natalie she’s strong, just as strong as her word. That’s sweet. Joshuah has his afraid face on. Chelsia keeps yelling to James to “hold on” every time the machine changes direction. It’s more annoying than the sound of the machine itself. Sharon just said, “I think I need to go read the bible or something.” Good grief.
James trying to make a deal. He says that if she puts Ryan on the block next to whoever she wants, he’ll drop. She says that sounds like a good deal, but Ryan takes exception to this. He tells Natalie that James is getting tired now and that’s why he’s making deals. Natalie is interested though. Matt’s telling Ryan she won’t do it. She’ll take the deal but won’t put him up. James changes his mind, and wants to just do it himself.
James keeps singing and spitting. Natalie saying she really needs water, she’s feeling dehydrated. BB tells James to stop singing, and he says, “I’m bored dude.”
Natalie calls James a warrior. He says he has a bitter taste in his mouth, and Natalie says she does too. She feels she’s been exploited. Interesting. James says he’s not letting go, he wants to see where his body can go. The boy does leave himself open for a lot of porn jokes, doesn’t he?
Nat wants to know if James still wants to cut a deal - she’ll take it. He says no, she has the majority. She wants to know how he figures that, and he says he doesn’t know, since the majority flipped on him. He feels he got a second opportunity and now he doesn’t want to drop. Natalie says she just wants to give him the opportunity before he accidentally drops.
Natalie asks James to promise her and Matt safety, and he swears. She says she’s feeling sick, she sounds desperate. Uh oh. Matt’s telling Natalie to stay strong. Chelsia and Joshuah are telling her she’s safe with them too. Matt still chanting “stay strong Nat, stay strong.” Natalie says she feels like she’s going to vomit. She tells Joshuah she didn’t like him bringing her mom into it, and he apologizes. Matt asking her what she’s going to do, she doesn’t know. James putting pressure on, and she tells him she’s trying to think. James says he got a second chance, and didn’t come back to fuck people over.
Sharon now telling Natalie it’ll be okay. James says she doesn’t want Matty on the block, and Natalie agrees. James promises again he won’t do it, and says he’s the bigger person. Then he tells her to go ahead and throw up, and just stay there with him. Matty says make the deal, and Nat’s out.
James wins HoH!
James is telling the others that he’s not going back on his word, and Natalie and Matt are both safe this week. He says he’s not going to do what everyone else did to him. He’s even telling Joshuah not to lie to him anymore.
I’m done with this post now, so I’ll see you in the morning with the rest of the evening’s highlights. Ciao!
“Natalie wonders if people are watching on the internet right now. Hi Natalie. She thinks we’re cheering for her. Hmm. Out of the choices that are left, it’s a possibility.” Sadly it is. If she’s the mess that can keep Chelsia or James from HOH she is the mess for which I’m pulling.
He thought they would let him have it? HA - what exactly did HE get to smoke in the moments outside the house.
This is my first season following the hamsters - any guesses for how long this comp will go? Couple hours more?
Sometimes they go forever, and sometimes a couple of people fall and then the others make a deal. I think, as long as Natalie’s still up there, we’ll be here for a while.

I really liked your blog with the Falcons mention! Super Bowl maybe this year?!?
