BB9 Blog: Hide And Seek!
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
First, let me thank you guys for all the email! I appreciate the feedback – even if most of it was about how you dislike Natalie.
But weren't you haters at least partially entertained by last night's episode, which, admit it, predominantly featured Natalie's craziness? At least she's lively, right? Some contestants easily give into the sheer boredom that must be the downtime in the BB house. But gotta give the girl credit for never looking bored.
Anyway, Natalie was obviously thrilled to win HOH, and immediately attributed her success to God answering her prayers. She, Adam, Ryan and Sheila decide that because they were faithful and true, they shall henceforth be dubbed "Team Christ."
Adam: "He's the judge and jury around here. Not us!"
Elsewhere in the house, Joshuah and James felt lost and alone, wandering the desert and wondering where they went wrong.
Josh: "One of these idiots is going to win a half million dollars."
Natalie continued to bop around the house, shrieking over her family photos in her HOH room, explaining the complicated depth of her theories (Week 7, 7 of us, 7 angels!!) and avoiding game talk by rebuffing James when he comes to ask if she'll nominate him.
She even talks Adam, Ryan and a reluctant (but didn't he kind of look like he was amused?) Joshuah into playing Hide and Seek. She also scarily manages to squeeze herself into the cupboard under the sink in the bathroom.
Later, there are no more games for Sharon and Josh. Sharon, whom Natalie rightly calls "the mole," tells Josh that James has to go. It'll be between those two guys and somehow, they have to keep Josh safe over James.
Once-Crazy-Now-Depressed James, meanwhile, is attempting another pow-wow with Natalie. He wants her to go to the final 2 with him, but she is still smarting over his evicting Matty, so she's not sure. Can she trust him despite his past betrayals?
Perhaps she needs another sign, as later, Ryan, Adam, Josh and Sheila catch her staring creepily at Matty's memory wall picture. She's talking to him, too, saying "You and me to the end." Joshuah wonders if Matty should consider going into hiding once the game ends.
And, in the end, Natalie decides that she has to do what's best for her, and evidently that means nominating James and Josh. I thought that perhaps this meant that she did plan something with James, and this looked the least suspicious a move. Also, it's safe to assume he has a better chance at winning the POV. But, James, always overly annoyed that he's ever nominated, assures us that he will go after Natalie should he win. Josh, meanwhile, losing his so-called "nomination virginity" and starts to experience death row for the first time.
Well, I called it. Josh and James. What do you think? Which one will win the POV? Would you have believed several weeks ago that teams like Josh and Sharon, Adam and Sheila would still be in the house? Where is the best hiding place in the Big Brother house? These are important questions, people. Let me know!
