Big Brother Live Feeds, April 18th – Unchained and Uncertain

Author Carrie

Comps: As Laura posted yesterday, Ryan won the veto. From what I can tell, they had to match faces of houseguests to clues about them, either following a time line or matching them up in the right order so that they each fit two different clues.

Topic of the Day: Of course they’re still busily harping on the existing relationship that is still in the house. There aren’t many new theories today, although Sharon and Sheila are the only ones entertaining the idea that they may be related to someone and not know it. Sharon even floats the idea that she might be related to Chelsia because they both have German roots. Ryan seems to have had his fill of all the relationship chatter, as he’s walked away from it several times today. He’s convinced that it’s Sheila and someone, because he doesn’t believe that she answered an ad on Craigslist to get on the show. I’ve seen those ads, and they do exist Ryan.

The other main topic is Sheila and Adam bickering because they’re still tethered together for most of the day. Sheila leads the charge because she didn’t get much sleep, she’s hormonal and PMS’ing, and … wait for it … she’s a 46-year-old single mom. Know that. The two of them go from mutual love to hate and back again many times over the course of the day. Most of the time I think they’re joking about hating each other, but then one of them will say something with an edge of truth to it, and the other seems to take serious offense.

Adam got a little carried away and was pulling Sheila around by the chain, and wrapping it around her. Sheila got upset over this and spoke into her microphone, asking BB to step in because she was not going to tolerate this kind of “abuse” any longer. For her part though, she tried to prevent Adam from going into the spa room to take a nap by holding onto the railing of the staircase and not letting go.

The chains came off just before the veto competition.

Strategy Talks: In the time leading up to the veto comp, it was Sharon and Ryan doing a lot of strat whispering, while Sheila and Adam really had very little choice but to talk to each other. It’s not like Ryan could have had a private conversation with Adam or anything at that point. And it was the same old stuff, with Sharon trying to convince Ryan that Sheila has the jury votes if she gets to the end, whereas Sharon had a hand in evicting all of her alliance members, so they may not be too happy with her. I don’t know if she actually believes this or not, but it’s a steaming pile of crap and I’m pretty sure Ryan knows that.

Sharon wants Ryan to win the veto and take her off the block, and she thinks that will force Adam and Sheila to reveal their pre-existing relationship. Argh. At the very least, she says it will force them to campaign against each other and that will destroy the bond they have. Well if one of them would be leaving anyway in that scenario, I’m not sure the “bond” would have any importance at that point.

Sheila tells Adam that, if he could look her straight in the eye and tell her she’s fine this week, she would believe him. He doesn’t do this, however.

After the veto comp, Adam tells Sheila that Sharon and Ryan are working together. Sheila doesn’t like this at all, and she’s really stressing over it. She tells Sharon that there’s no way that Ryan will change the nominations and put Adam up, and Sharon answers that it’s a possibility. This is the first time that Sharon has tipped her hand, even a little bit.

Sharon goes to Ryan and tells him that Adam told Sheila she was okay and not to stress. Ryan isn’t saying much or confirming anything with Sharon, instead he’s rather talk about whether or not his fly was open during the comp.

Adam and Ryan talk outside, and Ryan lays it on the line: he needs to be able to trust Adam now, because he knows that he has something going with Sheila. Adam promises to do whatever Ryan wants him to. Ryan doesn’t quite know what to do, because Adam has deceived him in the past and he knows about what he whispered to Natalie when she was walking out the door.

Ryan says that he wants Sheila gone this week, and Adam actually swears on his mother that he will evict her. Ryan brings up Adam’s whole play for James’ vote when he didn’t nominate him right away, and Adam says it wasn’t game, he did it because he has a heart and would have done the same thing for Ryan. Ryan says that Sharon keeps telling him that it’s Sheila who has a previous relationship with someone in the house, and that she’s been shady all along for not coming clean about it. Adam tends to agree, and says that Sheila will pay for lying to him.

As the girls head for bed, Adam and Ryan talk in the kitchen about how Adam really wants Sheila out this week and was thinking all last night, while she was ranting about her raging hormones, that he couldn’t wait to get the bitch out of the house. They agree that they still have to be on their game to get to the end, because Sharon will be tough to beat in the final comps. When one of them asks the other a mundane question, Sharon shouts the answer from her bed. They look at each other, wide-eyed, because she likely heard their entire conversation.

Smoke Watch: Adam is down to only six cigarettes. We’ll go with an Orange Alert level, since he’s wearing nicotine patches. If he runs out of those, hit the deck.

Fun Stuff: Sheila asks Adam what type of girl he’s looking for, and he says he wants someone who will cook and clean for him, have his babies, and drinks coffee. Hee. He says he would never date Natalie, and when pressed to tell Sheila what his “type” is, he says, “horny.”

Sharon is full of more Jacob stories, including one in which his mom took a girl he was dating out for lunch and told her all about Sharon and their history. The girl didn’t want to have anything to do with Jacob after that. Odd, no?

Quotes of the Day: “Adam’s thinking, ‘Just gnaw it off so I can get away from her!’” – Sheila, to Ryan, about the chain holding her and Adam together.

“I knew we’d have a competition where we’d have to put heads on something. Not that I’m trying to be like Natalie or anything.” — Sheila

“Don’t call us until noon, Big Brother. Our office hours are from noon until six.” – Adam and Ryan, getting ready for bed at 2:30 in the morning.

My Thoughts: I honestly can’t tell if Adam is really going to vote Sheila out or not. It’s possible that he’s just playing along to make sure that he doesn’t go up on the block against her, and then will work on getting Ryan to change his mind. He just gave in too easily for it to be cut and dried. Even though Adam has made some promises and “gamed” a little throughout the course of the season, he’s played one of the cleaner games this time around, and I can’t see him lying outright to either Sheila or Ryan. So he has to have something up his sleeve.

Sharon will likely try to convince Ryan to put Adam and Sheila on the block together, and in that case I can see her voting to evict Adam. The stakes are high this week, and someone has to make a move soon. Will Adam actually step up and get his hands dirty? I think he has to, I just don’t know which way he’ll end up leaning.

On one final note, I really hate how much that ridiculous “existing relationship” question from the HoH comp is screwing with the hamsters. If they *had* to use that question, they could have at least told the group that it was the guinea pigs - but of course that might cause Sharon to throw a fit. And BB can’t have that. The whole thing is messing with them, and it might end up costing Sheila her spot in the final three because they’re all convinced she’s lying to them.

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!
