Okay, I’m opening a Big Brother thread for the rest of the season. There’s just not enough interest so far to do weekly threads on this season. There will probably be spoilers for each episode for the period in which that episode is not yet aired on the West Coast.
All right, past the spoiler space mark now.
Tuesday, March 18
All I have to say about this episode at this point is this. Natalie, honey, if God cared enough about you in this trashy reality show to avenge you for this, you probably wouldn’t have to be a bikini barista in the first place.
I had to watch “Dancing with the Stars.” What happened?
James won the veto. He spent half the episode trying to figure out who cast the third vote to keep him out of the house. He had it down to either Adam or Matt. He believed it was Adam all the way up to when he spoke to Sharon about it. Natalie had been working Sharon on Matt’s innocence and Adam’s guilt on that vote for days, but Natalie can’t lie to save her freakin’ life, so Sharon knew she was lying and that Matt had actually cast the vote. She told James this. James took Sheila off and put Matt up. At the very end, Natalie diaried that she was SO mad, that God was going to avenge her for James breaking his word. Hence, my comment.
Incidentally, we’re time-shifting Survivor back to Thursday, so tomorrow I’m only going to be watching Big Brother. I’ll join you all in the Survivor thread on Thursday night.
Thank god for DVR…I can skip March Madness!
After Matt’s explosion last week after James was nominated for eviction, it was nice to see him humbled a little bit. I can’t believe that Matt didn’t try harder than he did during the veto competition. Did he really think that Natalie’s deal with James was going to keep him safe once James found out that his was the third vote not to bring him back in the house?
If Matt is evicted, I wonder who the new “bad guy” in the house is going to be. Part of me would like to see Sheila evicted, but I think that a bigger part of me wants her to stay around and spread some more craziness. Hopefully she and Natalie will form an alliance and spread more crazy around the Big Brother house than we have seen in a long time!
Thank you for mentioning this. It’s hardly the end of the world if I miss Survivor, but I would have been much more mad if I’d missed it because I assumed I was busy* when it aired tomorrow night and not because I couldn’t be bothered to fix my tv reception. (Last night, NCIS came in fine until mostly through, but Big Brother didn’t show up at all).
*Tomorrow is Maundy Thursday, so I intend to go to church. I will probably be home before the episode would have ended, but might not be in the mood to watch.
What I don’t get is why he’d think it was Adam as opposed to Matt. Or did he think he and Matt were still pals? Why would he think that when it was clear that Matt and Ryan had become an ambiguously gay duo?
Anyway, I’m starting to root for James. Good for him for making it back in and then just seizing control and kicking every ass in sight. Looking forward to tonight.
I have to think that James confronted Matt in the same manner as he did Adam, but CBS didn’t/couldn’t show it for some reason. It seemed strange to leave all this up to other people’s opinions.
I think it’s bye-bye Matty this week. He went to the well of lies one too many times, and Natalie won’t be able to protect him any more. Guess the houseguests will have to take their chances with the wrath of God! :rolleyes:
I’m loving the “Bible Buddies” segments. One question, though. Between their language and their attitudes, none of the guys seem particularly religious. Are there no other books in the house? I can see them not having newspapers etc., but what about regular books?
Anyway, I love the discussions. Between Jacob “getting busy” with the housemaid and planning an expedition to search for the Ark of the Covenant, it’s absolutely priceless!
I think Ryan is finally realizing what a couple of assholes his “boys” are. If he survives this eviction, look for him to strengthen his alliance with Joshuah and make peace with James.
Current final four prediction: Ryan, James, Sheila, Chelsia.
It’s been BB rules since at least Season 2 that the only reading material in the house is the Bible and the BB rulebook. And believe me, some of these people (not so much this season, but several seasons before this) become major rules lawyers…I’m surprised there haven’t been more attempts to finesse the rules in the history of this show, actually.
It should be noted that they ALSO do not allow them to have things that they can write with. I was surprised they let Natalie do her nail polish portraits, actually. They’ve yelled at Amy Cruise (remember her?) for writing a note to Marcellus in lipstick on a napkin when she thought he was being voted out of the house.
Glad to say “buh-BYE” to Matty. I loved his interpersonal tone-deafness – “These girls are supposed to feel sorry for me! What the fuck is wrong with them that they’re not feeling sorry for me!” It’s a sign of how obnoxious he is that even after he correctly pointed out that Ryan had done more actual damage than he had, he couldn’t get off the hook.
There was no footage of Ryan talking to folks before the vote – did he not do a lot of it, or was it just less entertaining than Matty twisiting in the wind?
What I’m dying to find out is Chelsia’s reaction when she finds out James was a gay pornstar before entering the house.
Matty was my favorite along with Chelsia, so I guess I’m rooting for her now. She is bad ass, yet totally playing under the radar. I think James is going to have a big target on him, he was already voted out once, what was it, 5-1? So, now the same people want him gone, only they think he is a dick.
This, of course, is all said in context of the game, since I don’t actually know these people.
My question going into last night was – is Adam really that stupid, or do his pop eyes make him look stupider than he actually is?
My answer – no, he really is that stupid.
Baby food!?!?!?!?!?
Well, yes, when you have to have your beads read by Natalie*, of all people, because you’re about to consider pissing off a person who’s usually, at least, a solid vote for your alliance, then yes, you really are that stupid.
*She of the Crazy Eights Conspiracy Theory (8 curtains, 8 vases, 8 pillows, 8 cups, 8 plates, 8 chairs, 8 houseguests…it was starting to sound like a Sesame Street short), and the long, deep, silent conversations with the deer head. That girl’s got boiling bunnies, hockey masks, and sledgehammers in her future…
Oh, may I also mention that NOW, because she’s managed to predict that Evel Dick is going to come into the house and he actually IS, she’s going to be convinced that all of her psychotic pattern-tracking is actually prophetic!
I’m going to be missing Tuesdays for the rest of the season – who won POV last night? And did they use it?
James won it and used it on himself. It was one of those drink-awful-cocktails competitions where the more concoctions you force down, the more chances you get. James drank all ten. (Evel Dick presided.) Joshua then talked the hapless Sharon into volunteering herself to replace James, and talked the hapless Adam into fulfilling her “wishes”. That, of course, left Joshua safe. So it’s Chelsia and Sharon.
Yanno, Joshuah shows a certain ability to play this game. As does James. Tonight should be interesting.
James won POV and used it on himself.
The POV contest was a repeat from last year, where they had to drink gross concoctions, and the more they drank, the more croquet shots they got.
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID Sharon volunteered to be a pawn to get Chelsia out of the game after being talked into it by Josh, since it would have been him or her replacing James.
Josh was also saved by Ryan, who are in a secret alliance together. That will make for some intersting TV when it comes out. Josh is SUCH an a-hole, but I love the gameplay of that alliance and it makes me realize both guys have the wool pulled over the houses eyes as far as how they are playing the game.
