BB9 Blog: Furiouser And Furiouser!
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
Gotta hand it to James. I said it last week -- we need to inject some excitement into the house -- and really, if there was anyone to do it, it was him.
James, fresh off his eviction/re-entry into the house, has gotten some opportunities that other Big Brother players only dream about. Not only was he evicted and then given a second chance, he immediately won HOH, which allowed him to put up two people he felt were responsible for his being evicted.
Ah, but... now that we have a POV up for grabs, will his nominations hold steady?
(Doing a bit of the long-winded recap for you, much like the show. Kinda makes you feel like you watched, huh?)
This episode was all about the highs and lows, mostly centering around just a few people in the house. Natalie and Matt, Sheila, and James.
First, Natalie and Matt. He still can't believe that she would have put herself out there to save him. "There should be more people in the world like you, Natalie." She just wants regular massages. A simple girl is our Natty.
Meanwhile, weepy, mopey Sheila is throwing herself all over the house (still wearing that icky unitard, I might add), lamenting the fact that she's alone and no one likes her. She even goes as far as to suck-up to ex-partner Adam, telling him she never meant any of those things she first said to him. Like the fact that he was a ugly troll. (Come on, Sheila, that's a stretch!)
James is in an odd place, mentally. (Quelle suprise) He's still furious that he was evicted. Kind of over the top considering that it's a game and this happens every week. Still, he's pleased with his nominations, confident that he'll win the POV and keep them in place. And, in the meantime, he wants to know who was it, besides Ryan and Sheila who confessed, that voted for the mystery box over him to return to the house. (It was Matt, we know, and James thinks it could either be Adam or Matt. Neither is confessing.)
So we have the POV. Finally, Big Brother acknowledges the humor and makes the house-guests "human guinea pigs" much like their little pets inside. The house-guests have to walk balance beams back and forth, depositing blocks in a canister. Whoever gets the most blocks in, or who does not fall off, wins.
Extremely lucky James wins and basks in his triumph. First the HOH, no the POV. I dunno, Matt, that pink hair of his might just be a good luck charm.
But now, James is thoughtful. He's still so annoyed at Adam and Matt for whoever didn't keep him in the game, that he wonders if he should just put one of them up on the block instead of one of his nominees.
Speaking of nominees, Sheila is still freaking out. She can't believe that Natalie thinks it'll be a hard choice to pick a house-guest to stay. She feels it's a no brainer -- she has been a better friend to Natalie. Sheila is further baffled by Adam's noncommittal response to her question about whether he's going to keep her or not. He was her partner, how could he not keep her? (Well, excepting the fact that she repeatedly called him "ugly" to his face, I mean.)
So, Sheila does what she does best when she's pushed against a wall; lashes out. And effectively so. She goes to James and basically demands that he put Adam up instead of her. James, naturally, is inclined to agree because he just hates lying THAT much. (Has he not seen this show before? Oh yeah, he really hasn't.)
It seems as though Adam's time in the house is coming to a close with the snap of a backdoor, but then James, easily swayed, is told by Sharon that Matt is the one who voted him to not come back after his eviction. James is furious. Again.
And at the POV, James announces that Sheila will come off the block. Dodged a bullet there, sister. She owes James big-time for this.
But, James brings the backdoor closed on Matty and puts him up. Naturally, he's pissed to the point where he has no words, if you can believe that. And Natalie, poor sweet trusting Natalie has only this to say about James' welching behavior: "You are so full of crap, James, that's why your eyes are so dark brown. God will avenge me!"
Ryan and Matt sit on the block as we move into our next eviction ceremony. Who has a better shot at staying? Will Natalie go crazy if Matt leaves? What's the best next move for Sheila?
Tell me everything!
