Big Brother Live Feeds, April 17th, BB, the Chains That Bind

Author LauraBelle

Comps: Everyone knows they’re having a comp today, but can’t figure out what it will be. From the way the DR talked about it, they think it’s a food comp, but they aren’t sure. They aren’t even sure how to dress, and Sharon just wants to make sure her legs don’t get all banged up, saying Nat’s legs were all cut up from comps and she was wearing pants. Sharon got cut once and didn’t even know until she saw the blood. If it’s a food comp, Sharon’s glad they don’t have to go for stuff like grills, but the others like the grill. Ryan was mad the marguerita party was chosen over the grill at one point, especially since it was just a half hour party instead of an all-nighter.

It turns out to be a luxury/penalty comp. Sharon and Ryan win a Beverly Hills shopping spree, spa trip, and tickets to the premiere of What Happened In Vegas, causing them to speculate they may get to meet Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. They’ll also get to watch a movie tonight in the backyard together. Adam and Sheila have to stay chained to each other for 24 hours starting after the nomination ceremony and lasting up to the PoV comp. Sheila says the only thing worse would be if she was on slop as well. If that were to happen, she’d have to kill Adam, then tells BB she’s only joking, as she knows there is no violence allowed. More details can be found in Carrie’s comp post (compost? you know what I mean).

Two Mustangs appear in the backyard, and I can only think it will be for the final 2. Sheila would love to get the black Mustang that’s out there, saying she’s always had Jeep Wagoneers.

Nominations: Sheila and Sharon are nominated, and directly after, it absolutely has to be more of Adam and Sheila just acting, as he says he wants her gone and wants to spit on her. Ryan had told them he put them up because of the smack they were talking about Natalie.

Topic of the Day: The third relationship is still on everyone’s mind. Sharon and Ryan think it may be Adam and Sheila, because after everything Sheila has done, he still wants to keep her. Now, we all know that third relationship is the GPs, but I increasingly feel like
there is something between these two. As they get chained together after the comp, and she bitches about how hard it will be, she whispers to him it will be a blessing … twice.

Sharon and Ryan talk later about this possible connection, as Sharon walked in their bedroom without knocking, and they were both in bed, as Sheila was just wearing bra and panties. She doesn’t think anyone walks around talking about hating someone unless they don’t … except for her and Jacob, as she feels she’s earned the right to say she hates him. Sharon then talks some major shit, telling Ryan that Sheila has confided in her that Adam trusts Sharon more than Ryan. She says something about Sheila and Adam having an alliance before they came, saying Sheila found out on Craigslist, and Adam was going by the name of Robin. What?

Later, with everyone in bed, Ryan talks to himself about the third relationship, figuring it has to be Sheila and someone else. He keeps repeating the wording of the question from the HoH challenge over and over.

Strategy Talks:
Ryan tells Sheila he has to put her up today, but tells her she’s going to be fine, as Sharon and Adam are after each other. She knows. He won’t tell her who’s going up with her, though, although she repeatedly suggests Sharon. Ryan explains everyone is on the block this week. This isn’t true, as Ryan is the only one guaranteed to not go home. Everyone’s basically on the block, but him. Sheila expresses sorrow again at evicting Natalie, and Ryan tells her it doesn’t matter, as she was going to put Sheila up this week had she stayed.

Ryan is a little upset with Adam for messing up the vote, then telling Natalie. Ryan knows Adam would prefer to be on the block so he doesn’t have to make the decision, and Sheila says he’ll have to, meaning, he’ll have to win PoV to keep her safe. Sheila goes to Adam to see if he’s still planning on taking her to final 2. He says yes, as “til death do us part.” They she gets mad and stalks off after he says she probably told Ryan to put her on the block after she was up there trying so hard to keep him off.

Ryan tells Sharon if Adam wins PoV, he thinks he can talk him into keeping her. He then goes to Ryan and tells him that he’s going up, and he’s not kidding. He then adds if Adam does what he wants, which is vote to keep Sharon and not Sheila. Adam’s stupid if he takes this deal, as it doesn’t matter if he’s on the block or not. All that matters is who wins PoV, yet he agrees anyway. Ryan takes this back to Sharon, but she would rather get rid of Adam this week to guarantee her safety to final 2.

BB, The Chains That Bind: Once Sheila and Adam are chained together, their biggest dilemma is how they’ll handle Sheila getting up before Adam. He suggests they get up, have joe, make poops, and go take a nap. Sheila thinks is is punishment for voting out Natalie. Adam wants to drag her with him to run a mile then go swimming. Instead, he lies down next to her as she takes a nap. There is a cuff on Sheila’s left arm and another on Adam’s right, and the “chain” appears to be like black rope and is long enough that they don’t have to be directly next to each other.

Later on, while Ryan and Sharon are watching their movie, Adam and Sheila are allowed to uncuff in a deal they make with the DR, since they can’t watch the movie. They have an argument, as she says she cares about him, but she doesn’t think he does for her. He tells her he will keep her and vote out Sharon. She’s upset that he called her a “fucking bitch” the night before and wants him to finally get his hands dirty and vote Sharon out. He promises to take her off if he wins PoV (wouldn’t that put him in her place?) and says Ryan has said if he wins he’ll keep the noms the same, and that leaves Adam to be the one to decide who leaves. Sheila tells him Sharon would probably evict him, as she blames him for the other vote for Natalie.

Sheila cries, saying she loves and trusts Adam, and if she could take back one thing, it would be how she treated him on the first day. She also tells him she’s a different person in this game and is a lot tougher and meaner on the outside. She could have easily tore up Natalie when asked, but she didn’t, not even bringing up her past. That wouldn’t take a lot. I think anyone could tear up Natalie.

Around 4 AM, Sheila and Adam still haven’t slept. She can’t, complaining about getting her period, and saying it happens every time. She just wants some Tylenol PM, and BB won’t give it to her, meaning she’ll suck tomorrow at the PoV. She’s pissed at BB, and she’s pissed at Ryan, because he won’t tell her how he’d side if he wins PoV. A little while later, they finally fall asleep. Amazingly enough, Adam is very understanding and sweet to her this whole time.

Fun Stuff: Apparently with Natalie now gone, there is a need to clean out everything else that needs to leave. The other two girls get up first thing in the morning and clean out the refrigerator.

Sharon wonders how everyone is being portrayed, and thinks Sheila is seen as the house badass, and she’s seen as the animal lover. That almost seems like something she just wants the jury to think. Who do we give the money to? The badass or the animal lover? Hmm.

Sharon’s slug has been named Cammo, because he disappears. Ryan gives him props for infiltrating a CBS studio, saying he’s like a Navy Seal. Somehow this leads to a story about helicopters following OJ, and Sheila mentions she signed autographs with him once, but she refuses to talk about him. The guys give her a hard time about hooking up with him
and seeing the black snake, but she denies it. Ryan thins she’s lucky she never did, or she’d be in a ditch somewhere or in the back of a Bronco. Adam doesn’t think OJ murdered his ex, “Not the Juice.”

Sheila met Daryl Strawberry and dated Ron Darling for four years. She recalls the best times being the 80s Limelight, Zenon’s Studio 54 days. She’s done with all that partying now, though. She likes this chapter of her life, being a parent, much more.

Late at night, Sheila and Adam talk in bed about the different nationalities of people they have dated, and it leads to a conversation about Britney Spears, oddly enough. Sheila mentions a plan she has for Britney to get her life back together. She thinks Madonna should take her to her estate in England to help her get her life back on track, especially with her children. Madonna could be a great mentor, as she’s been through a lot of that and reinvented herself so many times. Sheila is interested in it from a maternal aspect, not celebrity.

Shout Out of the Day: Happy Birthday, Diddy (Adam’s dad).

Very Last Bit of Natalie Bashing: Sharon and Sheila think she was in a state of shock when she was evicted last night. They talk of how she acted like a super-Christian, yet didn’t even know what “redeemed” meant. Sharon thinks Natalie dressed trashy, but Sheila points out at least she had the body for it. She also thinks this will make Matt happy, as he didn’t want her to win the game, but I think that’s just what he was telling Sharon when they were playing kissy-face. Sheila is shocked that Natalie allowed a hug from her after she evicted her to her face.

There must be boredom in the house, as once again we’re talking about Sheila’s yeast infections, and she knows she lost her friend Allison over it, but it was really Natalie that was spreading it. (the talk of it, not the infection itself)

They think Natalie will tell everyone in sequester that Adam was the one who gave her the vote to stay. It really bugs Sharon that Natalie claims to be a Christian, but doesn’t follow the beliefs. She refused to pray for Chelsia, then mentioned Josh going to Hell for being gay. Sheila is still shocked that Natalie was so open about her past, thinking it was used against her in the game. Sharon doesn’t think Josh ever knew what Natalie had said about him. When she gets to sequester, she plan to let him know, though.

Mystery of the Day: Ryan tells Adam and Sheila that Sharon is used to gettin’ some after a movie and mentions something about his hand under the blanket. When Sheila asks what me means, Adam tells her it’s guy talk.

Quote of the day: “I could’ve used a Beverly Hills shopping spree; I have holes in my clothes. Instead, I get you.” — Sheila to Adam

“Ho’s with different area codes.” — Sharon’s response to the the guys giving her a hard time about hooking up with a new guy every time she went to a new city.

“I feel like a fatass now.” — Ryan, after eating two burgers after complaining that he was starving. (Yet he at popcorn a few minutes after this statement.)

My Thoughts: Adam has said he hasn’t been showing his full arsenal, other than the GP PoV, but if there’s a time for him to use it, and if he really is as tight with Sheila as it increasingly seems, it’s Friday for the PoV. It’s hard to tell how anyone is really leaning, but I think if Ryan wins it, he’ll leave the noms and let Adam be the bad guy to evict Sharon. If Adam wins, he’ll either leave the noms the same and evict Sharon or pull Sheila off and let her evict Sharon. If either Sharon and Sheila wins, they’ll take themselves off, and Sheila will evict Sharon, while Sharon will evict Adam.

For Adam, Ryan, and Sheila, though, I think the best bet is to get rid of Sharon. She was a liked person in the house, and on top of it, she has three of her alliance in the jury house. I think their best bet is to get rid of her and make themselves more equal looking at alliances on the jury.

You can catch all the final three and four action, then get to see the season all over again, leading up to BB10, right here: Watch Big Brother 9 on SuperPass!

    I never should have read this - but maybe it’s better so I don’t have a stroke when it’s aired. Sheila cannot win a Mustang…I may neen to pray to Natalie’s God that Sheila does NOT win a Mustang.

    A certain recapper of the BB broadcasts on this website drives a 2007 Mustang that she loves more than her children.

    Sheila in one? I just won’t have it. This may be what drives me over the edge, but at least I’ll be driving over the edge in the ride I paid for and didn’t have to go on a game show to win.

    I’m not bitter - but Adam and Sharon better be driving away in the ’stangs or I won’t be responsible for how much censoring Carrie needs to do on my next recap.

    Thanks so much for the blogs. I like the new format not that I didn’t like the other format though. Keep up the good work! These are really nice to read!!!

    A little protective of your ride, Jamie? What is it about a Mustang that brings that out? Just thinking I wouldn’t feel the same if someone won a shiny new Dodge Caravan. But, go back 20 years and make it a cute little red Pontiac Fiero, and I could probably feel your pain.

    Thanks, Cassie! Glad you like the new format.

    I don’t know what it is. I’ve driven a lot of cars but only with my Mustang and my Grand National do people who have the same car honk at you on the road and chat it up at the gas pump. It’s a weird little club and I’d hate to see Sheila sent an invite.

    I dated a guy who had a sweet little red Fiero back in the day…great car. I liked the car better than the guy.

    The problem with the earlier Fieros, like mine, is they had the ability to spontaneously combust, without even being in gear. Pontiac could never figure out the answer, but kept sending recall notices. Every time I’d smell something funny in the car, I’d freak out, thinking it was going to blow up or catch on fire. After awhile, it kind of took away the sexiness of it, y’know? But it was great while it lasted.
