>> Joshuah & Sharon are Heads of Household - Ryan & Allison and Adam & Sheila are nominated <<

Waiting game

It's a long time til they vote, and a lot of waiting for them and for us.. they're waiting for an air raid and we're waiting for Julie's "surprise"

Joshuah & Allison had another go-round, and he returned to his ivory tower to lay around.. Sheila & Allison had another go-round, but they returned to each other to talk talk talk

The newly-heated pool's been getting some use, and Ryan provided us with an action sequence

I'm still laughing at the overnight events surrounding Allison's shorts - I hope but doubt they'll be able to top that today

The hammock's getting a bit more action as "soulmates" attempt to strategize about the inevitable.. James keeps puppy-dogging Chelsia everywhere she goes

Almost a fight

James confronted Matt about having promised his vote to both of their mutual buddies, with both buddies present

I think it was the first guy-on-guy confrontation we've had: all the fireworks til now were brought by the girls, and Joshuah

Matt countered by saying James is being tight-lipped about his team's vote, adding to the habitat's paranoia, and that James had promised him safety before and then nominated him

Chelsia joined in - she got feisty but pulled back.. Natalie joined in too, but not very effectively.. Ryan & Adam pretty much just watched - Adam laughed for some of it.. it wasn't a great fight as fights go in there - especially this season - but it gave me hope for more & better on Tuesday

Filet o' kissyface

Matt & Sharon were having another of their mutual working on each other sessions, when he pounced on her again for some spit swapping.. like the last time, it was (far) less than romantic and they separated soon after, but both played along, like they do

Blessings to the feedmasters who flashed onto this fish face for a second, for a perfect wordless description of the umm.. "chemistry" between these two

Daily ratings - Is it Wednesday yet? edition

Ratings are based on entertainment value

Anyone notice they've been using the same crescent moon for almost a month now? Sunday's show was another installment of their fictional alternate to the feeds and reality, 'Big Brother: Lesbian House'. They did include Joshuah versus Allison and her subsequent meltdown(s) but they left out the best bit, the five foot restraining order. Still, it was a good fight as was the Ryan versus Allison follow-up, and deserving of first ups of the season. They wasted valuable Diary time with tiara comments and omitted the BJ heard round the world, but we all know what went on before the aired Matt/Natalie footage. Asparagus comp was another excuse to put the girls in catsuits (although James had the most fun wearing one) but I ask again how are they defining carbs? They've not had bread for breakfast but otherwise they've all been chowing down on crackers, pizza, cookies and popcorn since the comp. Natalie got Diary, drawing, and 'damn skippy' time but she's still pretty much AWOL from CBS. I don't know how they're overlooking her: nobody else can. Finally, why did the show end 7 minutes early, and does anyone care?
NOMINATED Paired with Sheila I ask once more what is this guy doing in there?	NOMINATED Paired with Ryan I heard she put on another good show this morning but alas, I missed it. The rest of her day was just biding her time and droning on with whoever would pretend to listen. She almost earned ups for acting like she'd won BB9 after she finally beat Ryan at chess, and for saying about Sharon's laugh: 'It's so out there.'
Paired with James She had a small eruption but it fizzled out and didn't go anywhere near where her & Amanda's fight went. Word on the street is her daddy lowered the boom on the feedmasters after stripper/makeout night but if true, he doesn't seem to know his little girl all that well. Today she joined in the anal discussion by saying she wasn't a virgin 'that way'.	Paired with Chelsia His fight today felt a wee bit staged to me, and nobody was much threatened by it. I'm not sure I put much cred in his arguing about integrity when he's mooching all his cigs and making a point of being cagey about his & Chelsia's vote. For someone who hops eagerly into every sex chat, he was noticeably silent when conversation turned to 'If a guy's with another guy, does that make him gay?' Chelsia said she thinks it's hot when two guys make out, so maybe he'll 'fess up to her.
Co-HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD Paired with Neil Sharon I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a lint roller on their undies before, not even on the BB feeds - and we've seen everything on feeds. Other than that, he's walking around in the HOH bathrobe, imitating Natalie, obsessing about Allison, and discussing anal activities in way too much detail.	Paired with Natalie He was headed for ups for his nonplussed rebound to James's attack, but then he did that icky flop 'n smack attack on Sharon again. For a guy who thinks he's God's gift to women, you'd think he would have generated a bit of style by now.
Paired with Matt It's not good when the life of the party has no life in her except when Sheila, Allison or Sharon get hold of her. What happened to our fun girl? She's been studying the habitat and has come up with a theory of 8s and she might be on to something: Julie's "surprise" will be sprung when there are 8 of them left.	NOMINATED Jen's boyfriend/Paired with Allison Neither he nor Adam are bitching about being nominated, and whatever they're doing about it is quiet, short, and non-offensive.. well, at least in Ryan's case.
Co-HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD Paired with Jacob (her ex) Joshuah Okay, the screechy laugh is almost preferable to watching her smack with Matt, but everlasting ups to the feedmasters for the fish face when they did. Once again, she was AWOL for the big confrontation du jour.	NOMINATED Paired with Adam She's starting to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher: writing a book wah wah wahh, single mom wah wah wahh, older than everyone else wah wah wah wahh. Rewind, repeat.
Paired with Amanda He started out looking like he was on board with Matt's showmance plan and CBS picked up that angle, but then we got to know a bright, charismatic, and goofy guy who had everything going for him in there except his partner. His diplomacy was remarkable and he might have gone the distance, but he went out as another casualty of 'Til Death Do You Part'.	Paired with Alex She began with hysterics & drama and was at the center of the biggest BB fight ever, but she went out with more of a whimper than a bang. Her moods dropped as fast as her blood sugar but to her credit, she rebounded just as fast. She & Allison had dual 911 events, but Amanda's collapse brought unexpected (and uniformed) guests into the habitat and onto the air.
Won: $5k Ryan's girlfriend/Paired with Parker She & Ryan could have gone far if she hadn't opened her mouth in the first days. She made loads of enemies in a short time and took Parker down with her. She'll be remembered for super-quickie sex in the bathroom and a rash on her backside.. hmm, coincidence?	Won: $5k Paired with Jen He was good watching at first til he gave up and went on strike. He bounced back a bit at the end but his doom came early when partner Jen couldn't keep her trap shut about her & Ryan. She had to go, and he was just the innocent bystander casualty. 'I'm sick of people's dumbass assinine ass comments' might be Line of the Season.
Paired with Joshuah He left suddenly and mysteriously but wrote on his MySpace that he didn't leave for health reasons and that he won't be back. He seems like a good guy and I wish him well.. he's probably lucky he got out when he did, unscathed.	Paired with Sharon (his ex) Gone before the feeds kicked in: he didn't even make an appearance. All that potential for rehashing their breakup and/or a jealous rage up in smoke. To make it worse, he & Sharon didn't even get an exit interview in Julie's boudoir - how rude!

This site isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It also isn't necessarily about who should win, who will win, who I'd be friends with or who is cute. It's about watching hamsters: which ones are doing what and why, which are fun and which are dull. If they aren't entertaining, get rid of 'em! Thanks for encouraging my behavior.
