Big Brother 9 Live Feds, April 12, Happy Birthday, Sheila!

It always seems to get a little slow and boring as the number of houseguests on Big Brother tick down to just a handful. This week is certainly no different. While there were many things going on right after the dramatic HoH win and leading up to the PoV, with everyone knowing who’s going up as the replacement, there just isn’t that much game talk to do.

Natalie wishes Sheila a happy birthday first thing in the morning, as Sheila heads outside to check the bedding in the laundry to see if the wine came out of it. Sharon talks of having weird drams last night, as does Ryan, as he dreamed both he and Jen were in the Marines. The wine stains didn’t come out, and Sheila is worried that BB is going to be angry at her. Adam is trying to sleep in, but BB is forcing him out of bed. He wishes Sheila a happy birthday and Natalie gets irritated that he didn’t wish her a good morning first. Oh, good grief!

Natalie does compliment Sheila, saying she doesn’t look 46, and she’s right. Sharon mentions smokers look bad at 46, and this brings Natalie to mention again that her mom rolls and smokes her own, because it’s cheaper. Adam mentions that he left his patch on, then had bad nightmares. Now, didn’t his mom warn him about that in her letter? Mother knows best!

As Sheila makes breakfast for Adam, he’s looking for the Splenda and finds it in a zip loc, incurring comparison to his “weed.” Natalie figures he buys it by the pound. He hugs Sheila and tells her good morning. He’s awfully chipper this morning. Adam mentions his brother dumping his girlfriend, because she wanted to $30,000 ring. I’m sure both are glad he just announced that on the feeds.

Natalie is doing numbers again, as it’s the 12th, but she talks about number 11 being lucky for her. Ryan mentions he’ll turn 30 on the 30th, making it his golden birthday. Natalie thinks it’ll be sad to say goodbye to her 20s, and I’ll admit it is somewhat, but I had a 1 year old and was ready for it. Ryan says he’ll be ready for 30 too. For some reason the conversation switches to PMS, and Natalie tells the guys they’re wrong, it’s PMC. Pre Mentrual … what? Cycle? Cramps? Crabbiness?

Natalie mentions to Sheila that it’s weird that she’ll be the pawn this time instead of Sharon. Ha! They talk about this setting a record, and Natalie mentions having a great speech planned. It will be interesting to see if she’ll still be shocked on Wednesday or not. Natalie wonders what will happen in a tie, and Sheila just tells her not to worry. Adam comes in as they’re discussing having to pack up your stuff, and then they mention that the wake up call this morning was “Oh Sheila.”

Sheila mentions that they had to take James out, otherwise he would have wiped the rest of them out. Adam agrees. They start making faces and laughing, as Sheila says he always makes her laugh. Outside Sharon is trying to convince Ryan to take her to final two, saying she can help him, but they have to get rid of Adam and Sheila. Duh.

Everyone is now outside, and Adam gets stung by a bee on his ankle. And that’s the most exciting thing that happens out there, unles you consider a conversation about the best dressed guys in the house exciting. Sheila thinks that goes to Adam and Josh, but Natalie argues for Matt as everyone else makes fun of his highwater pants. I don’t think I’ve heard that expression since junior high.

Moving inside later, the guys are playing chess, Sheila’s in her HoH, and Sharon is feeding the GPs, while Natalie is eating her lunch. They work on names for the GPs, with Natalie liking Hansel and Gretel. Sharon says the names have to be unisex, and Natalie asks what that means. This has to be an act.

While Natalie is bitching about one of the guys peeing on the toilet seat, Adam finds stuff in the SR for Sheila’s birthday and has Sharon distract her so that the rest of them can set everything up. Sharon heads up to the HoH, and Adam and Ryan set up the decorations outside, then ask Natalie to help them as well.

Sharon finds Sheila in her HoH dying her hair. They talk about how Natalie can’t be trusted and say she shouldn’t have dropped from the glass box. Sharon explains that Natalie is “so done” with Sheila, who says Natalie is making her job of putting her on the block that much easier. Sharon figures Natalie is doing it to herself. Sheila knows Natalie will be shocked if the guys do indeed turn on her.

As Adam is heading up the stairs, Sharon comes down to see how it’s going and to tell them it’s going to be awhile, as Sheila is in the shower rinsing her hair dye off and talking, yet now no one is up there listening to her right now. Sharon goes up and tells Sheila they called an outside lockdown, trying to get her to hurry up.

Sheila goes outside and sees the birthday party waiting for her and says, “Oh my God!” They sing For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow, since Happy Birthday isn’t allowed to be aired. She blows out the candles and reads a letter from her son, mom, and sister that makes her cry. Her mom says she’s been watching, and mentions that BB is her favorite show and that she has watched all nine seasons. Sheila had no idea of that before and didn’t even tell her mom she was going to be on. Her sister asks for each of the HGs to give her a hug from her.

Adam is totally doting on Sheila. She gets a cross from her sister, a coffee mug with pictures from home on it, and some body lotion. The mug is one of hers from home. Everyone has cake and ice cream, and Natalie suggests they should all hug Sheila throughout the day to make sure she gets forty-six hugs. Sheila tells Adam she was surprised by the party and explains about Sharon’s ruse about a lockdown.

Natalie asks Sheila about her mug, and she says she got it at Starbucks. Ryan looks at it, and eying the picture of Sheila’s son, he says he didn’t know his ear was pierced. Sheila says it’s not, but Ryan shows her, and she’s surprised, then says at least he doesn’t have any tattoos. Thinking this over, she shouts, “You better not get any tattoos while I’m in here!” If he’s a typical teenage son, he’s not listening. Sheila says he was 10 or 11 in the picture on the mug, so he’s had his ears pierced all these years and she didn’t know?

The guys go inside to get stuff to make BLTs, and Ryan notes that Natalie and Sheila are both similar in that they need attention. He doesn’t think the house is big enough for the both of them. They plan to call out all three girls tomorrow and talk about an all out war. Outside, the girls are still chatting about Sheila’s letter, as Sharon and Natalie say their parents never watched BB before. Sheila mentions that she told her son not to tell anyone she was on BB. Out of embarrassment or contract?

Sheila goes inside to finish her hair and makeup, and tells the guys Natalie was into the girl power thing and is out of control, so they should talk to Sharon. Ryan tells her Natalie is saying to get rid of Sharon, then Sheila. She feels like all she has done is help and support Natalie, and all she got back was lies and laughing behind her back. Natalie, meanwhile, is outside still, telling Sharon how stupid Sheila is to not put up Ryan. Back inside, Sheila is telling the guys she thinks Natalie is thinking ahead in the game too soon. I’ll lagree to that.

For lack of better things to talk about, Natalie and Sharon talk about James not being thankful to come back in the house. Sharon thinks God brought him back for a reason. Natalie mentions it being better with Matt gone and recalls Chelsia cracking up in the background when Julie asked her about it. Not surprisingly, Sharon doesn’t remember it. Her topics of chatter run a little deeper, as she talks of her near death experience after her rollover.

The guys are playing chess, then go into the kitchen, discussing how to open the game up. Ryan thinks of setting the women down individually, and as soon as Natalie starts talking shit, they call her out. Adam laughs that they’ll get all the girls started, then sit back and watch. Ryan suggests calling Natalie out on all her alliances, then announces a need to go take a shit. Thanks for sharing. With Ryan back, Adam tells him they need to practice what they’re going to say to Natalie and is ready to start it right now.

Ryan goes up to HoH with Sheila, as she questions why Natalie didn’t what Adam to know that she was making deals with Sheila. Ryan doesn’t say much, just fueling the fire for what’s going to go down tomorrow. Sheila also wonders why Natalie is being so rude to her now, and Ryan suggests it’s because she thinks the guys are going to keep her safe and probably has plans to come after Sheila next week. Sheila doesn’t want to do this to Natalie, but she’s still smarting over the “I deserve to go home if I lose to Sheila” comment. He promises her nothing is going to change about this. She doesn’t want to break a tie this week, but will. Ryan tries to paint a good picture of that, saying Sheila will look good to the jury breaking that tie.

Ryan leaves HoH, returning to Adam, and their machoness takes on a weird thing looking forward to tomorrow. Ryan suggests Adam wear his wife beater shirt and suggests they set up a table and have Natalie and Sharon sit down to reprimand them. He also suggests bringing the Bible to the table. It only gets worse as he tries on Sharon’s bra and the guys laugh that she’s just a 34A, as Ryan tells Adam his tits wouldn’t even fit in there. Ryan tells him about his and Sheila’s conversation, and says it’s crazy that Natalie know she’s going up, but still thinks she’s calling the shots. And, once again, they have great plans to win HoH and PoV.

Sharon only fuels Natalie’s plans for next week, saying James has already said if Adam or Sheila get to final two, they have his vote. Natalie talks about her plans for next week, and Sharon just lets her go. The guys are busying themselves looking up passages in the Bible to put into play tomorrow, such as “The words of a tale bearer are like wombs. They go all the way down into the belly.” Certainly that’s a good quote to use against Natalie, as she tells many, many tales, and only recently has everyone realized the extent of how far into the belly they’ve gone. Natalie, waiting on hair dye, comes in and offers the guys her Bible, as it’s easier to read. She’s giving them the gun, and Adam furthers it asking her if she loves psalms and proverbs, then tells her to clean that mop up.

Natalie comes out of the DR, saying they won’t let her dye her hair, making her wait until after the PoV meeting, probably for the continuity. The guys keep reading the Bible, yelling quotes out to Natalie, and she laughs along with them, not realizing why they’re doing this. She just talks about Shron, saying she realizes she’s going home and that Team Christ did it again. It almost makes me feel sorry for her being so dense. Nah, not really.

Sharon joins the guys and asks what they’re doing, and Ryan says comparing verse, but she mishears him, thinking he’s saying “preparing,” and jokes she couldn’t figure out what they were preparing for. They share with her that Natalie said Sharon knows she’s finally leaving this week. She adds that she also said she would vote Adam out over Ryan, as she thinks she’s smarter than Ryan. Oh, they’ll have fun with that tomorrow, won’t they?

Sheila comes in, and Sharon continues spilling everything that Natalie had said outside. She says Natalie’s nervous now that Sheila has turned on her, but Sheila disputes turning on her. Natalie comes out of the DR, and the conversation quickly changes to Sheila’s dye job. Sheila is told her brother looks like Ted Danson, but she thinks he looks more like Scott Baio, her famous ex.

With Sharon showering, Ryan in the DR, and Natalie working on dinner, Adam and Sheila talk game. she tells him he’ll look like a hero voting Natalie out, and she’s only one vote in the jury house. She changes it up, saying she wants to have a party in the HoH tonight and let everyone up there, with no game talk. They figure they won’t tell Natalie she’s leaving until Wednesday, with Sheila not relizing what the guys have planned for tomorrow. Ryan comes in and she tells him he looks good, losing weight since he got there. Ryan tells Adam not to be jealous that his wifey is hitting on him.

After Sharon asks to go up to HoH, Sheila follows her up there. All they do, though, is talk the same ole same ole. This is broken up as everyone sits down to eat dinner. Eating is always boring on BB, unless it’s the cereal flicking between Dick and Erik from last season that still cracks me up.

Ryan and Adam retire to the backyard and talk game. They do not want to let Sharon win HoH and would rather get rid of her before Sheila. They think Sharon’s claim that she’ll be easier to beat in the end is BS, as she has three guranteed votes. They know Sheila would win the money, so it has to be the two of them in final two. Ryan thinks Natalie would be the easiest to beat, but he wants her out now, as she’d be a harder obstacle to overcome to even get to final two. Finally, someone’s thinking all game, not just for the moment or in the end.

Sharon and Adam chat next, and she’s pissed because Jacob told Adam he smoked pot before he came in the house. I have to ask, if he’s her ex that she hates, why does she care so much what he says and does?

Ryan and Adam play chess again, and when BB issues an order to Natalie and Sharon to stop doing something, Adam thinks they have to be in cahoots. Ryan tells Adam to let Sheila know the votes will be 2-0 to get Natalie out, otherwise he’s worried she might put him up instead.

Sharon had been up in HoH making Natalie’s ears bleed for a change, and when Natalie leaves, Sheila replaces her. She tells her Natalie is probably downstairs telling the guys everything Sharon just said. Sharon isn’t concerned, though, since it was just stuff about Jacob. And she still keeps talking about it. Natalie comes back up, and Sheila is making an Alex doll out of pillows. The guys come upstairs as well, and Adam sees “Alex” and tells Sheila she’s fucked up in the head. Or … stir crazy.

Beer and wine is brought up into the HoH, and the party that Sheila wanted to have is finally started. They talk about Sheila’s ex, and when Sharon asks why they have so much drama in the house, Natalie says she has no drama. Wait until Wednesday.

Sharon can’t lay off Jacob, planning on confronting him at the warp party. Natalie tells Baller they counted and he grabbed himself 27 times, just during breakfast. She then tells a story of catching him naked about a month ago. She also mentions Jen and Amanda catching him picking his nose and wiping it on the couch. Adam thinks there has never been a funnier season. Why do the continue with this? Sharon talks about her and Jacob having fish when they were together, as in pets, then calls him a piece of shit.

Adam threatens to put lotion on Natalie’s face to show her how Chelsia got it and actually follows through. I’m not sure why he had to show her how Chelsia got it, though, when she was doing a good job of getting it herself.

Sheila moves a conversation from talking about Alex to saying what she likes about Adam. He’s highly intelligent, and that would get her libido going, but she doesn’t like the nose picking, butt scratching, and kiwi grabbing. He claims he likes to turn her off. She’s calls him a playa, and Ryan says Matty and Alex were players. This upsets Sheila as she says Alex is not playa, and he points out Alex molested Amanda, molested Sharon, and made out with Chelsia. Three … that makes him a playa. Sharon and Natalie talk about Alex making out with them in the pool and Sheila “la la las” saying she’s not listening.

The talks goes back to the game, and Adam tells Sharon that in her PoV speech tomorrow, she should say, “I’ve been on the block five times. Will someone please use the veto on me?” Natalie tells him not to use the veto and leave himself up. Adam tells a story that sends us straight to flames.

Everyone examines the headboard on the HoH bed, realizing there are dents in there that James had said were from Chelsia’s head and chin. They figure her parents are horrified. Sheila says if she liked someone in the house, she would have waited until she was out of the house to do that. Ryan asks if she would have gotten naked with someone in the shower or hot tub, and she says only in her bikini. Alex’s name remarkably comes up again, and Sheila says all kidding aside he was too young, and there may have actually been something there if he were five years older.

It must be the alcohol getting to her, but Sheila admits that when Evel Dick was there recently, he asked her out, and they’ll be doing that after the show. Adam doesn’t believe her, but she says he asked her to keep it quiet, but they’ll see at the wrap party. Adam says Dick is diggng some young stuff, but Sheila argues she’ll kick ‘em to the curb. She says she repsects his game play, for taking smack, but saying it to the person’s face. Not surprisingly, Natalie can’t get behind this, saying you don’t have to stoop to that level. Sheila asks her why she doesn’t think talking smack behind someone’s back is bad, and she says they’re all still there, and the others aren’t. Something tells me that’s going to come back to haunt her.

The party breaks up, and Sheila and Ryan find themselves out in the backyard talking game. She wants confirmation that Natalie is leaving this week. She’s clearly upset about the conversaton they were getting into about Dick, and she adds that they have all paid for the stuff that happened with James, and that was Matt and Natalie’s battle the rest of them got drawn into.

Sharon comes out, adding fuel to the fire, saying Natalie just said Sheila is going to make the biggest mistake of the game tomorrow. Ryan explains that’s because she plans to come after Sheila the following week. He gives Natalie credit, though for having dreams. Sheila points out, though, that Natalie is almost 30, and will be a washup soon in her business. And this show is not going to make her famous. She adds that Jen is doing the most important thing in the world, teaching children.

Everyone settles down for the night after this, and it’s probably a good thing they all had a good time tonight, as there probably won’t be another of those until after the next live show.
