Big Brother Till Death Do Us Part - The End

Well that's it for the first and most definately last winter edition of Big Brother. Of course you know as soon as I say that, we will have another strike and another winter edition. I seriously doubt it but you know what they say....never say never. However in this case, I think we are safe in saying there will not be another winter Big Brother (at least not for a while).

In looking back over the season, I think for the first winter edition it turned out to be not so bad. There are things I would have changed, that's for sure. But all in all a pretty good season. This had to be one of the most dramatic seasons ever, that's for sure. And one of the raunchiest seasons ever. I don't think we have ever had any one houseguest, much less the whole bunch of them that were so open with their sex talk. I really felt sorry for the editing crew. Trying to make a full one hour show out of what these houseguests gave them had to be difficult. At least they worked for their money this year.

As for the couples thing.......note to Alison Grodner: don't do that again. This only served to mess up the game of several players, who if they were playing by themselves, would have lasted a lot longer, if not made it all the way (Alex, Parker.....). I also think BB needs to do a better job of screening these applicants for mental problems (Chelsia). She was a very angry person and although we did not see that in the first week or so, it became apparent during the Amanda and Josh fight outdoors. And it only got worse. I think one of the most appalling things that came from her was when she choose Easter Sunday as her day to go off on Natalie. Now don't get me wrong, she has a right to go off on Natalie, but for her to destroy things in the house (i.e. eggs and candy) was over the top. I think her destruction of the Easter candy and eggs was a slap in the face to not just Nat but to the other houseguests as well. And if one was so inclined, it was a slap in the face to Christians all over the world. I know she was upset because she was going home, but give me a break. It's a game. Chelsia was a ticking timb bomb. She proved that during the jury questioning as well. She had not gone to the jury house and gotten over anything. She in fact let everything fester and boil up even more. I hope she gets some help for her anger.

As for Josh. You know I love gay guys. It's like talking to your best girlfriend. But in the case of Joshua....nope aint gonna happen. I liked Joshua in the beginning but again when he decided it was his duty to go off on Amanda, that crossed the line. No it wasn't the going off on Amanda that crossed the line, it was the things he said. Not that she had a horse face. If that made me mad, then for sure Dick's antics last would have sent me over the roof. It was when he said that maybe Amanda needed to go hang herself like her dad. To me, that was too far across the line. And then Chelsia had to add in a graphic picture of hanging herself. It was right then and there that both of those went off my "liked" list and landed in first and second place on my "wish they were gone now" list. And Josh got worse as the game went on. His temper really flared up. I give them some leeway considering the environment they are in. But I think after what he said to Amanda I just could not stand anything else that came out of his mouth. And I find this funny because I loved Dick last year.

As for James, I really liked James in the beginning. He was on my like and want to win list from day one. But along the lines, he slowly went from being liked to wanting him out really bad. Not exactly sure why other than guilt by association.

As far as the rest of the house, Allison, Jen, Ryan and Jacob did nothing for me.

Parker, Alex and Amanda were three players I would have liked to see hang around a little longer. As for Sharon, she was a good mole. She played it pretty safe all along. She was able to be friends with everyone, gather information from the enemy and take it back to her alliance. She would fare well on Survivor.

As for Sheila and Adam, I truly belived they were doomed from the start thanks to Sheila's ranting about Adam. Her only just cause for going off at being paired with him was looks. she didn't like his looks.....he wasn't her type. Well after all was said and done, these two proved to be the most compatable, in my book. They were like an old married couple. Nice to each other one minute and cussing each other out the next. They needed each other to get to where they ended up. I am just not happy with Adam for throwing the final HOH and thereby having Sheila evicted, but not by the blood of his hands. I think he should have been the partner he was supposed to be and taken her to the end with him. He still would have won. So what harm would it have done.

There is not much I would have changed about this season, other than the pairings. I thought all in all it was a good season. The competitions were great. The return of past favorites to host the comps were great. I might would add a little more time spent with the returning houseguests. The returning houseguests, I believe, would behave themselves and not give anything away. My only suggestions to BB would be to #1: give them more to do as the game goes on. As more and more houseguests leave the house, it gets more and more boring. Have some mini comps for mini perks. #2: I would ask BB to stop doing overnight comps. This does not sit well with live feed watchers or with Big Brother After Dark watchers. #3: Show the comps on the feeds. It's not like we don't know what has happened. At least show the food comps and luxury comps. #4: quit switching feeds when the talking or action gets good. I know BB thinks if they show everything on the feeds then no one will watch the show but that is not the case. I watch the feeds, the show and Big Brother After Dark. And I know I am not in the minority here.

So, that's it for another season of BB. We only have 10 short weeks until our favorite summer staple will be back. Sounds weird say 10 short weeks instead of 9 months. The tag line for the summer show kinda makes me go hmmmmm as did many of us in feed chat last night. got us wondering if they were gonna do something like Survivor did this year with Fans vs Favorites. That might work and then again I think if they just put 14 "strangers" (keyword strangers) in the house, they would still have a good show.

My final grade for this season of Big Brother.....B+

I want to take this opportunity to thank Christina/Janeyfan for her help all season with the live show recaps. You did an AWESOME job, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! We hope she will be back again this summer. As for my parnters in crime, Babybear and Van, I wish them a speedy recovering and hope they are back in full force come the summer. (please please please......this is hard to do without you two). As for the rest of you that come here and read what I post. Let me know what you think, what you would like to have changed, what you like, what you don't like. Don't forget to visit our sister site and post your comments about Big Brother and all the other reality shows we cover. Want to help? We can use all the help you want to give, whether that be with Big Brother or any other show. If you care to help, just let me know.

Until July 13th when the doctor will definately be in!!!

BB9 Finale Episode



Congratulations to the Winner of BB9 Adam..

I can't say I'm not disappointed in the outcome. Of the two I would have rather seen Ryan win. I didn't want either to win but Ryan was my lesser of two evils pick. Everyone except Joshuah voted for Adam.

I am super happy to say James won the favorite jury member prize of $25,0000. So that was really a happy part of the finale.

I hope the summer season has more twists, turns, and excitement. And NO more couples tyvm. :P Ty to everyone who did the feed recaps and posted their comments and thoughts about this season!!

Big Brother Feed Recap 04/25/08

Just after midnight... Trivia!

1:25AM BBT: Feeds are back and Ryan and Adam are looking at the memory wall talking about the HGs. They say that James was coolest and it sounds like Chelsia, Matt and Natalie were good too but Josh, Sharon and Shelia were bitchy. One of them mentioned that the real hoops came out. Adam: “I dont give a fuck, I talk when I talk I ripped them hard, I think I’m fucked!" Ryan: "Josh saying I’m a fat ass and gonna eat the guinea pigs." (Ryan did always joke about that) Adam: "Wow James was great if he would of stayed he would of been great. Shelia making gay jokes at us, come on now! Josh, who the fuck show were you coming on you little fucking bitch." Ryan: "You gave it to him. The only one that made me very mad was Shelia, Sharon came close."

1:35AM BBT: We see Ryan and Adam talking but no audio instead we have BB Music. Then Adam saying, "Shelia, Natalie..." We hear Shelia again then back to no audio on feedsAdam: "Ryan i had your back the whole time."Ryan: "I wanted to be brutally honest to Sharon and Josh. I fucked you over because I wanted to be loyal to Adam and Shelia was easy to beat."Adam: "Fuck them, their fake, its over. Them mad at throwing comps its part of the game!"We hear Shelia complaining about Adam and Chelsia saying, “Yes” and we get FotH on and off.

1:33AM BBT: Feeds back Ryan and Adam talking and we hear Shelia still! FotH music with GP cam again. They must be having some issues because we keep getting FotH on and off and Shelia is yelling.

1:36AM BBT: The HGs talking about money evicted HGs get so we get FotH.

Survivor Fans vs Favorites - "Black Widow"

So from the previews I am not liking the turn this Survivor is making. First let me tell you, I am all woman, so I am sure some of you will be surprised when I say I don't want Woman Power to control the island. A chick fest I do not want Survivor to become. Of course that could be because now I only have James to root for since my beloved Ozzie is gone :-(


But unfortunately it looks like the girls do have the power and the guys are going to go down 1,2,3, unless the guys keep winning immunity. This reminds me of Big Brother which is currently in it's last 4 days and is nothing more than a testoserone fest. The final two houseguests are both men who do nothing more than gloat about their victory. At least if there was a woman there, maybe there would be some action. I have to say, I am a live feed watcher of Big Brother but not so much right now. Watching Ryan and Adam walk about and talk all day about being Masters of their Universe does not turn me on. Ok, I went off a little there on another topic but that is just another reason I don't want a chick fest on Survivor.
And thanks Survivor editors for reminding me that Ozzie got the shaft last week. Parvati, I hope you suffer for what you did.





Back on the island the girls plan is to get Jason back on Exile Island where he can find the rehidden idol and then convince him to not use it and blindside him. Sounds like a pretty decent plan, if it works. Parvati and Cirie finally pull Amanda in to this chick group and explain why they did not tell her about the Ozzie blindside. The three of them agree to go to final 3.....and we know just how well Parvati and Cirie stand by their word. Be very careful Amanda. Amanda is my second choice to win, after James. Hopefully she will get in with the women just to keep herself safe but still try as much as possible to be loyal to James.

I love it when James tells Parvati that things will be awkward between them because of her betrayal. He tells her she should not have taken a bite of the apple. Go James....tell it like it is.



Reward challenge this week is the infamous Survivor auction for food and other goodies. One new added twist this year with the auction.....no sharing of food or money. First bite of food goes to Cirie who gets hot dog and fries. Next item goes to Natalie.......bat soup.....LMAO. I call it "just desserts". She passes but James sees no point in letting food go to waste. He asks Jeff if he can have it and Jiffy says "hey, free food"....


Eric wins the next food item of nachos with all the fixins. Amanda goes all out for a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with milk. Next is Natalie who gets a bottle, with a note. The note says she can send anyone to Exile Island and she gets all their money. Her plan is in motion. She sends Jason to Exile, even though he pleaded not to go. She gets his money and bids on the next item which is a big chocolate cake which she can share with 3 people. She chooses Cirie, Parvati and Alexis. They have 1 minute to eat what they can and they proceed to literally stuff their faces. After that, the auction is over and it'a back to camp we go.


Over at Exile, you knew that Jason would find the idol and find he did. So step two of Natalie's plan is now complete. It is at this point that my dislike for Natalie grows immensly. And give the girl some food please. She is looking very very bad, Nicole Ritchie bad. Back at camp the girls discuss fooling Jason when he comes back in telling him that the intended vote off is James. This will enable them to vote off Jason and thus getting rid of a threat and the idol....again.

It's immuity challenge time and this one is played in stages. First stage is throwing rocks to bust tiles. First four advance.....Jason, James, Eric and Amanda. The "black widows" are nervous what with Jason advancing.

Next step is digging up a key to untie some puzzle pieces. Once the puzzle pieces are untied, you must assemble them to make a wheel to be used as a crank to turn to lower some planks. First two will go on to the next round. Poor Amanda digs and digs and can't find her key. James jumps out to an early lead, with Eric and Jason not far behind. But in the end it's James and Eric that advance to the final round. Step three of the girls plan of Jason not winning immunity is complete. Maybe these girls aren't such airheads afterall.

The final stage of the challenge has James and Eric using their planks to get across a pool of water. They only have two planks to use on a rope bridge. James strategy of standing up and going sideways doesn't work and he falls in and has to start over. This gives Eric the lead but not for long as James is hot on his heals. The last obstacle is a "disc" walk. They have to walk across a disc and rope bridge to the finsh line. James makes a gallant effort but to no avail. Eric wins immunity and on his birthday. Happy Birthday Eric.

Back at camp and the "black widow women" take a chance and sneak a peak in Jason's bag and find out he does indeed have the idol. So they lay it on thick when he returns and let him know that James is who they are targeting. They are hoping Jason does not use the idol and he will join Ozzie and James from last season in the Hall of Shame.

It's tribal council time and I love it when Ozzie walks in and flips everyone off. Or maybe he was just flipping Parvati off. Nah....at this point he is not sure who backstabbed him. But it won't be long before he finds out who did it. James gets to speak and he point blank lets Eliz and Ozzie know that Paravati took a bite of the apple and firmly planted the knife in Ozzie's back. I rewinded this part a couple times just to see Parvati's face in knowing she has no chance in hell at the million dollars now and to also see Ozzie mouth the word bitch to her. Good tv there!!!!

Not a whole lot else happened at tribal as the "bww's" didn't want to say too much so they could insure Jason's departure. The vote comes down to a close one. James votes for Parvati.....James receives 3 votes and Jason enters the Hall of Shame with 4 votes used. That poor hidden immunity idol gets to go back to Exile for another shot at being used. I felt sorry for Jason a little bit in that he was played by that vile evil Natalie. But then again I am glad he is gone because he was instrumental in getting my beloved Ozzie off the island.
The next couple weeks should be interesting. I hope The Powers That Be figure out a way to keep James and Eric around for a while longer and make the black widows turn on each other. Problem is Amanda is low girl on the totem pole and if it comes down to a chick winning this, I want Amanda. So let's hope somehow James or Amanda gets the hidden idol and the other one wins immunity the next couple weeks and the balance of power shifts. Otherwise this Survivor will become one big drama filled chick fest.
and in case you are wondering what life is like when you are voted off the island, check out these videos of Life At The Ponderosa:

until next week.........

Wed Show Recap

We got to see the 3 HOH comp parts last night. As Ryan and Adam figured Sheila didnt last too terribly long in the 1st round. Adam them gave the 1st round to Ryan. The 2nd part was between Adam and Sheila. It was a puzzle of sorts. They had to put the HOH's in order by taking balls out of a maze and placing the ball with the names on the board along with the pics of the HG. Adam kicked Sheilas butt.

I think from this point on Sheila had to know her days where numbered. At the final part Ryan and Adam were asked questions about the Jury members. Ryan won by 1 point. I wonder if Adam threw this comp. After win the final HOH Ryan was asked to pick which HG he wanted to evict. He evicted Sheila, this didnt surprise me. I dont think Ryan has a shot at winning but I thought he might have had a better shot going to the final 2 with Sheila. But then Ryan has made a lot of bonehead moves in the game.

We got to see more of the jury house. Natalie finally came to her senses and realized what a jerk Matt is. After all she did for him in the game he still treats her like garbage. I am just glad she is not totally dense. Sharon arrived and of course Josh and Chelsia were upset to see her. Matt was super excited because his group is the only ones left in the house now. Matt and Josh are getting along really well and it looks like James is getting along with Matt better as well. They watched the dvd that Sharon brought and saw the eye contact and nod between Adam and Ryan as sharon was evicted and finally realized the two boys had been working together.

After being evicted Sheila put on a sob act. I say act because I didnt see any real tears while she was talking to Julie and she seemed to cheer up really quick towards the end of the interview.

All that is left now is the finale. After seeing the DVD I am not so sure Ryan will get Sharons vote. I think Sheila will still give Adam her vote as will most of the other jury members. Ryan should start deciding how he will spend his $50,000 cause that is all he will be getting.

Hell's Kitchen - Dessert Anyone

So is anyone watching Hell's Kitchen. I am and I am loving the new intro. Too funny. Corey is on everyone's hit list for her much too early strategic nominations. You don't nominate two of the better chefs this early in the game. She better watch out because her first mistake could lead to her nomination and ultimately elimination.


This week is chicken week. They are awaken by a dorm full of live chickens and Chef Ramsey calling them downstairs. Funny segment watching them chase the chickens around trying to catch them. Ramsey leads them to believe he will be slaughtering the chickens. He tells them the purpose of this exercise is to respect the products they use in cooking. Reward challenge is to cut up a chicken into 8 perfect pieces. He gives them 5 minutes. Looks like Craig will be the weak link for the men and Shana will be the women's weak spot. I agree with Jason...it's a chicken. Who cares if one piece is not perfect. I know I don't go to the grocery store and look at each piece of chicken to see which ones are just right.

The girls get 44 out of 48 perfectly cut pieces of chicken. The guys do not fare so well. Craig loses it for them with only get 2 pieces. The guys learn as losers they will be picking peppers out in the sun while the girls and Ramsey will be going out to visit a famous restaurant on Sunset Strip.


The guys look like Farmer Dan when they come out to head to the pepper farm and they are loaded onto a run down old school bus. Whereas the ladies and Ramsey enjoy a luxury ride in a smooth tour bus. They get to their destination, The Saddle Ranch, and to Ramsey delight or dismay, he finds out that last years crier, Aaron is a regular at this restaurant. Ramsey is in shock and says he feels like crying. Ramsey looks turned on when the girls ride the mechanical bull, especially when Corey rides. We get a glimpse of the guys in the field hard at work and throwing peppers at Craig.


Back at Hell's Kitchen that night, the girls begin their flirting with the guys from the hot tub. Corey tries to get Ben in the hot tub but that falls flat. Instead Jason takes a dip with the girls to the dismay of the guys team. They ply him with beer and food and get him talking about who on the men's team is causing problems. He let's them know (hello stupid) that Craig is the one that everyone is after. The guys are not liking him being a rat, so maybe just maybe Craig may get a stay of execution. Ben says it best when he says "We are not here to play grab ass, we are here to win a competition"......lol

Back in the kitchen for dinner service, the girls appear to be trying to work as a team. But in the guy's kitchen Craig is having a hard time keeping his mind focused. He looks to be in a daze and not knowing what's what. Bobby and JP is put on table side service while Jason is put on dessert. Ramsey asks him to name the desserts, which he can't do. He is told to go study the dessert menu.
Read team (girls team) starts off wrong with a Cesar salad and Ramsey says "Welcome Back Bitches from Hell". The first appetizer for the men gets rave reviews at first until Ramsey realizes the bacon is missing. Ramsey sends the order out without the bacon. Back to the girls side and they are moving appetizers. LouRoss goes to get Jason back from his studying. He again can not recite the dessert menu. He tells Ramsey he is done and wants to go home. I think Jason is similar to my daughter when it comes to tests. She knows the material when she studies but sometimes will freeze up on tests, especially standardized tests.

2 hours into dinner service and Craig is still struggling with getting bacon done. Ramsey gives Jason another chance to recite the dessert menu and this time bh comes thru.

Entrees start coming to the pass for the girls kitchen, however the beef is raw thanks to Vanessa. She breaks down and has to leave the kitchen. The men's first entrees start out wrong with burnt salmon. Bobby decides to take matters into his own hands to satisfy his customers by serving them some of the chicken special.

The girls nearly catch the kitchen on fire and burn the filets to a crisp. Personally I would have eaten it. Never let a good filet go to waste.

Back at the dessert station for the men, Jason is clueless. He is having trouble with the souffle's sticking and decides to try a new way of cooking them. This leads to Ramsey beating his head against a table. Ben attempts to pass raw salmon by Ramsey but it's a no go. This is enough to push Ramsey over the edge. There is no winning team. Christina is the best of the worst for the women and will have to nominate one women. Petrozza is elected to choose the weak link of the men's team. Looks like it could be Corey or Vanessa for the women and Jason or Craig for the men.

Back int he kitchen and it's time to reveal those up for elimination. Petrozza nominates Jason because he thinks he has trouble with communication and cooking skills. Christina nominates Vanessa (hey Vanessa, duck from that knife she just threw at ya), because of her problems on the meat station. Each get their respective time to tell Ramsey why they should stay. Vanessa cries and Jason makes excuses. Ramsey says that Vanessa is stone cold during service. It's like talking to a refrigerator (ouch). Leaving tonight is Jason, but Ramsey tries to fool us by saying Vanessa's name first and then adding, "you've got one more chance".

Jason thinks the waterworks by Vanessa worked in her favor and tells us he will not cry over this but he will go get drunk.

Next week, Craig is on the hit list again and the men turn on him and Corey leaves her station to go rest in the dorms. What the hell is this girl thinking. It's also a first in Hell's Kitchen next week, with Family Night. A restaurant full of kids.....lo. Craig has enough and snaps back at Ramsey....well that should be good for some fireworks. And when the kitchen catches on fire (yeah right) one chef is burned so badly that he or she may never cook again. I will have to see that to believe it.

until next week when the chefs will have to flame the fire in Hell.....

Dancing With The Stars - Who Takes The Bullet

It's elimination night and tonight someone will no longer be in contention for winner of the coveted Disco Ball Trophy. Ashley Simpson is our musical guest as well as Riverdance and the kids take to the floor again.


Up first is a recap of last nights performances. We see the group dance in review first and it was as manic as before. We see Marissa getting really good comments and good scores and her going berserk, as usual. Len threatens to show his rear in the supermarket if Christian is in the bottom two. I for one am hoping that doesn't happen. As for Mario and Karina, get a room already. I will say it again, it was totally inappropriate for him to dedicate that dance to that song to his little brother. The mambo proved to be too fast for Marlee and her comments and scores reflect that. Shannon was looking for perfection but did not happen. She was criticized for her lack of hip action, which she looked completely shocked about. She broke down big time in her confessional. Derek got defensive pointing out the others mistakes (no one by name). Jason and Edyta tackle the cha cha but alas the choreography is too much for him to keep up with. Kristi and Mark aka. Beauty and The Geek, own the night and get the first perfect score. Both confess that they had their most fun doing that dance.

It's time for the encore dance, and I am thoroughly disappointed that they choose the group dance. It should have been Kristi and Mark. Guess I will go rewind my DVR and watch it again. Still a manic mess to me. Cute but way too busy. Looked to be a slight snafu at the tail end of Jason and Edyta's lift, but it was still a great lift.

Next up.....we get a reminder that the 100th show celebration is coming up with the return of over 30 stars, including Mario Lopez, Apollo and Mel B.....two weeks. Don't miss it.

It's time for Ashlee Simpson with a cut off her new album. My question....will she lip sync or sing for real. As soon as she starts singing, I instantly know why I don't listen to her music. Instead I think I will watch the dancers. Not sure who they are, but they are good as always. I will say the hair color change for Ashlee is a plus. Now she doesn't look like the bimbo I thought/think she is. It's a good color for her.

We are shown the leader board again:
Kristi and Mark (6th week in a row)
Mario and Karina
Christian and Cheryl
Marissa and Tony
Jason and Edyta
Shannon and Derek
Marlee and Fabian

We start with the elimination process....one couple is safe and one is in bottom two:
First couple safe: Shannon and Derek
First bottom two: Marlee and Fabian

Up next in the Stars of the Dance, is Riverdance. Good ole fashioned tap dancing at it's best. What's amazing is how they can move their feet so fast all the while keeping their upper body so still. The synchronicity of this group of dancers is OUTSTANDING. I don't think I have ever seen a group of dancers dance such a hard routine and all be in perfect unison.

We are back from commercial and it's time for the ballroom kids competition. This is the 13 and under group. Brandon and Brittany have been dancing together for 3.5 years. They are doing the cha cha cha. She reminds me of Edyta with her leg extensions...WOW. And she is deaf in one ear. Could have fooled me. And he aint bad either, reminds me of a mini Louis. WOW, that ending with her leg over his head was awesome. Len praises them for their sharpness and crispness. Bruno says it was dancing of the highest standards. Carrie Ann said the execution was perfect and sees future Dancing With the Stars professionals. I was impressed especially since Brittnay got her skirt caught in her shoe and jsut kept dancing until she was able to take it out. And all the while she made it look like she meant to do it. Impressive.

Our next kid's couple is Austin and Liza, both 12. Liza has been dancing half her life. Tonight they dance the Samba. Wow he has great footwork. The height difference does not seem to be causing them a problem. (she is 5.2, he is 4.11). I liked him better. He reminded me of Maks. She did not do anything to impress me. Not saying she was not good, but Brittnay was better than Liza. Bruno says they are two rising stars. He tells Austin his talent his huge even if he is small. Carrie Ann tells the ladies to watch out because Austin was working the audience. Len says that American has a great future in dancing with these two pairs.

After the commercial we find out the judges have voted for Brittnay and Brandon to move on to the finals with a vote of 2 to 1, with Len voting for Austin and Liza.

We get a filler piece on the judges and what a hard job they have. Carrie Ann gets nervous right before the stars perform. Len says as soon as the music starts that is when you go into judging mode. They are not scripted. They take notes as they can but sometimes when writing their notes they may miss something. Bruno says sometimes he can't remember what he says right after he says it. Len says they have to judge from their brain and he feels terrible when he critizes them. Carrie Ann is usually prepared to say one thing and then when she opens her mouth something else may come out (remember when she wobbled like a bird to Jason and Edyta). Sometimes they feel like they may have scored too high or too low, but it is only their opinion.

It's time to get back to elimination. Two more that are safe are Marissa and Tony and Christian and Cheryl, who genuinely look surprised. Backstage Christian and Marissa are jumping up and down. Christian still can't believe they are safe. Samantha reminds them that moving forward they will have to learn two dances a week. Christian says, "bring it on" and asks again if they are really safe.

We are back from what I hope is our last commercial break. Time to find out the fate of the rest of the couples. Kristi and Mark are safe as is Jason and Edyta. Edyta looked prepared for the worst and her surprise was very geniune. That means Karina and Mario and Marlee and Fabian are in the bottom two. I will be honest I think the reason Mario is there is because of the lift and the dedication to his young brother. A lot of America was turned off by that.

So tonight Marlee and Fabian is leaving and Marlee did not really look surprised. She gets a standing ovation and gives a wonderful speech, thanking the judges, Fabian, her family, friends and the fans. And a special thanks to Henry Winkler for all his support. Tom breaks as host to tell his long time friend how proud he is of her. Final dance is done to Dust in the Wind.

All in all a good show and a predictable outcome.

Until next week.............when our stars will learn two dances and hopefully the professionals will do a group number.

12:05PM BBT: The 3 just finished up a conversation in the boat room. Ryan went in there while Adam was in DR to give Sheila a chance to state her case. Ryan basically told her that that if he wins he will take Adam. Sheila says, “I dont understand why you two think I would just be ok with this and just walk out, I'm not Sharon. I’m sure it would have been easier with Sharon with her ‘what ever gods will is’ attitude, but I’m not Sharon.”

Adam joined in and said that he gave her a shot by keeping her in the house to win and Sheila says, “I tried” and Ryan said, “Yes you did, you had the same chance as us and it just didn’t work out for you.” Sheila wishes them both luck and explains she just wanted Adam to know she wasn’t threatening him when she said that if she goes she will be the campaign queen, she just had to ask and at least Ryan told her to her face he wasn’t picking her. Adam says this is hard for him, no matter what he will piss someone off. Sheila throws at him, “What if you were in my position and Ryan told you he was taking me?” Adam says, “I would be fine with it, whatever.” Sheila says, “Really, thats interesting.” The conversation calmed down with her saying good luck and the boys saying they understand how she feels. They chat a few about Sheila’s dog then leave.

12:15PM BBT: Sheila is now in bed (BB will not give her any Tylenol PM) boys in kitchen eating and smaking and burping and going over conversation. Adam tells Ryan that the best thing is for him to lose it to Ryan, “its best if you win and vote her out.”

Dancing With the Stars - Name Your Poison

So the dancers got to pick which dance they wanted to. It had to be something they had not done before, so we will get a mix of different styles. We also get out first group number and this one will be a country dance. So are you ready and are you riding the Winokur Wave!!

Tonights first couple is Jason and Edyta and they will be dancing the cha cha cha. Or is it cha cha. Who knows, it's pronounced both ways so say it however you wish. Thsi week Edyta's goal is to get more content for Jason to dance and not just Edyta. Seems the judges thoiught last week she danced around him, but we know the judges are not always right. Edyta takes Jason to learn some hip hop moves, not sure why, but they can both shake their groove thing (yeah I know that dated me....sue me). I thought it was a pretty good routine, but I wonder if Carrie Ann will point out the lift.....or the almost lift. Hopefully she was looking the other way. I don't think it was a lift but we all know how Carrie Ann is. Scores of 8, 8, 8 seem right and I suspect they will return to dance again next week.

Shannon and Derek are next with the Rhumba. We all know the Rhumba is the most sexual sensual dance of ballroom/latin dancing. And with all he rumors swirling around these two this should be an easy dance to pull off. Their practice footage only fans the rumor flames as they take to the beach to work on the routine. This is just too romantic in nature. Quit denying the rumors Shannon.....he's hot, go for it! Their routine is safe at best. I think with all the rumors about an ongoing relationship, she pulled back in the "Acting" part of the dance and for me there was no chemistry on the dance floor. Scores of 8, 8, 8 are a little surprising to me, butg what do I know. During their post dance interview, was Samantha ever the inquizative one. She was not going to let it die in that she kept asking if they have a relationship off the floor. Both were able to dance around the questions (pun intended), but did Shannon ever look uncomfortable.
Marlee and Fabian have the mambo tonight and considering that Fabian is a former mambo champion (2006) this should be great. However Marlee is doubting herself because of her lackluster performance last week. So she calls in good friend Henry Winkler (The Fonz....aaaayyyyy) for a much needed pep talk. Thsi week is another bad week for Marlee. She is terribly off tonight but you gotta give her props for keeping going even after making mistakes. This could be the week that does Marlee in. Her scores of 7, 7, 7 aren't bad considering the dance wasn't great. I found it very rude of the judges to not let Marlee speak when she tried. They just kept talking over her.

Cheryl and Christian are next with a foxtrot. First I have to say that Cheryl looked like a big blob of pink cotton candy. It was so sugary sweet, my teeth were hurting...lol. During practice footage, Cheryl takes Christian to the swimming pool to dance to help him with his arm movements. It helped because they dance a flowing, graceful foxtrot. Their best dance yet. The get scores of 9, 9, 9, rightful earned. But note to the wardrobe people, lay off the pink and fluff.


It's time to find out if you are jumping on the Winokur Wave or not. Next up is Marissa and Tony. I have to say I think Tony is having more fun this season than any other. And Marissa has come a long way. I did not think she would last this long. Their dance for tonight is the Viennese Waltz. Her dress is beautiful and elegant. I could use something like that for formal night on my upcoming cruise...lol. their Watlz was truly amazing. Flowing, graceful, elegant and full of content. She has definately come into her own as a dancer. They get scores of 9, 8, 9. Len was being a fuddy duddy. Was good to hear Carrie Ann has jumped on the Winokur Wave....have you!

Kristi and Mark are next and they will have the jive. This is my pick for the couple to win. Kristi is just too cute and man is Mark ever hot!!!! We learn in their practice footage that Kristi was born with a club foot. I think her accomplishments are even that more impressive having overcome this. I don't know what to say about this dance. The best dance of the season. Fun, fast paced, energetic.....AWESOME. I actually rewinded and watched it three or four times. Such a fun dance. I loved Mark in his geeky glasses. He was so cute and cheeky. And when the dance slowed dance, Kristi was hot with her pouty lips. I found myself moving and groovy during this number (my daighter laughed). PERFECT SCORE!!!!! Hopefully this will be the encore tomorrow...if not there is something terribly wrong in DWTS judges world.

Mario and Karina round out tonights dances with a rhumba. We see during practice footage that Mario is a huge role model for his younger brother. Such a cute segment between the two....that is until Mario dedicated this dance to his brother. I'm sorry Mario but you don't need to be dedicating the Rhumba danced to "Let's Get It On" to what looked to be an 8 year old. Poor taste Mario. But the dance was not bad. Very hot, very steamy. Actually for most of the dance it looked like they were about the "Get It On" on the dance floor. The only problem with the dance was there was a lift. No doubt about this one. She tried to keep a foot on the floor, but didn't work. Scores of 9, 9, 10. It would have probably been a perfect score except for the lift and for Len saying it was a bit too raunchy for him.

The group dance is set to Cotton Eye Joe. I personally like country music and when I heard they would be having a "showdown", I was excited. Made me think back to Drew and Cheryl and Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy! But this was no where near close to that. I thought the dance was too busy and too manic. Don't get me wrong, there were some amazing steps done and some fantastic lifts, but it was too busy. Too much going on at once. I would not have scored that any higher than a 7 or 8.


o someone is going home and I think it will be between Marlee and Shannon. That is if the votes are based on ability and not popularity. If America voted on popularity I think Cheryl and Christian could be going. I will be back to let you know how the elimination goes.

Until tomorrow..................

Sunday Show Recap.

Now that the only people left in the house are people that pretty much get along for the most part. I dont expect any big drama. I think this will be the most dull finale ever.

Ryan of course is the new HOH. He is starting to have his doubts about Adam. He saw adam mouth to Natalie right before the vote was announced that he had voted for her. Ryan confronted him on this and Adam denied it. Ryan knows he is lying.

I hope that Ryan sticks with his alliance with Sharon. I was really hoping he would use the POV to take Sharon off.. Put Adam up and then get rid of him. Because I am not so sure any of them have a chance of winning against him.

The luxury comp was pretty funny. I would have loved to smash bottles over Adam and Sheila's head. Ryan and Sharon won and got to see a preview of a new movie starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton kutcher. It looked pretty cute from the clips I saw.

Poor Sheila had to be chained to Adam for the next 24hours. I dont know who to feel sorrier for.

Nomination coming and everyone is trying to get Ryan to not put them up. In the end of course he nominates Sheila and Sharon saying that last week when things were unpredictable for him, Ryan said only person he could depend on was Adam which is why he nominated the 2 women. I thought it was lame but whatever lol.

I was hoping his masterplan was to put the two girls up.. Then anyone but Adam wins POV and takes one of the noms off the block so they can backdoor Adam. That would be my dream scenario. But who knows what will happen at this point. :P

Big Brother - The End Is In Sight

Well, it's getting close to the end of another season. An unexpected one at that. And thankfully when this season is over, we won't have long to wait because our beloved summer staple will be back on July 13th. That's right BB10 starts on July 13th. But before we start in on the summer, we have to put the winter edition to bed. Let's reflect back a bit, since we are so close to the end.

When this season first started, I was not a fan of the "couples" pairing. This only served to ruin the game of several people (Alex and Matt just to name two). The problem with the couples is you were responsible for the actions and words of your partner. Hence Amanda did Alex in as did Chelsia to James, as did Jacob to Sharon. But Sharon was given a second chance. I hope for the summer edition we get back to 14 people that don't know jack about each other. And instead of there being just one middle aged person in the mix, throw in a 2 or 3 of them. That way the 40something year old has a fighting chance. Although I give credit to Sheila for making it as far as she did. Also, even up the eye candy. I want to see more than skimpy bikini babes....I want to see more pecs and lats!!!!

What struck me this year was the quickness of the scheming and drama. OMG, this cast has had the most drama ever. Not to mention two of the houseguests end up at the hospital. Geesh....Alison Grodner went for the gusto this season. I thought we might have a new "cryer" this year in Sheila. And yes, even though she did cry more than her fair share, she still did not come close to Amber of last year. No fear Amber, you still hold that award!

As far as who I liked and didn't. I started the game liking Alex (duh) and Amanda, Matt and Natalie and James and Chelsia. Strange isn't it that I lumped all of those together. I liked Parker but instantly hated Jen. You could tell from the get go what a shit stirrer she was. I am sure I would have liked Neil but he did not hang around long enough (condolences Neil). Josh was another Bunky in my book and I was not all that fond of Bunky. Sharon annoys me with her "BEEEEBIES" to the Guinea Pigs. Ryan, Alison, blah. Adam seemed a little weird in the beginning, probably because of his crazy eyes. And Sheila.....after her snap judgement of Adam based purely on looks, she was on the top of my hit list. Who's left....Jacob....who?? lol

But as time went on my thoughts on each changed. I was heartbroken when the only eye candy for the females, Alex, was evicted. I know Matt was still left and he has a nice body, but he wasn't the total package like Alex. Thank Amanda for Alex leaving. Before they left, my thoughts on James, Chelsia and Josh completely changed and I would for the rest of the game despise and loath all of them. Why you say......when Josh and Chelsia felt the need to berate Amanda and reference her dad commiting suicide by telling her maybe she should hang herself like her dad, that was it. I was done with all three of them. I know James did not say anything out right to Amanda, but there is guilt by association. I had Sharon in that boat, but soon saw that Sharon had compassion so she was exempt from the guilt by association rule. It was at that point, that I began my rooting for anyone but those three and took great pride when Chelsia and then Josh walked out the house. The week James left, was a good one too. To see Chelsia, James and Josh beg, plead, borrow and cry their eyes out when they knew their time was up was a delight to me. The trash needed to go and go they went. All the way to sequester to join Matt. Who by the way went to sequester just a bit too early. His cockiness did him in. I never thought he would win, but he did leave just a bit too soon. Nat as well was done in by her own hand. She got just like Matt and could not fathom that somone would kick her out.

We are now down to the final four...Sharon, Sheila, Adam and Ryan. At this point, I think Sharon will be the next to leave and I predict Adam to win final HOH. He will take Sheila to final two even though he can win against either of them. Why.....he has a soft spot and knows she needs the money more than Ryan. Besides, Ryan has already won $10,000. If Ryan wins final HOH, it doesn't matter who he goes to finals with because he can't win. No way no how. And I will eat my words if he does. My pick is Adam and Sheila final two with either or winning.

All in all I think it was a good ingural winter season of Big Brother. I would like to think Big Brother will be back next winter, but sorry folks aint gonna happen. How long will it stay a summer staple. I think Big Brother will be around for a couple more years at least, but only during the summer. Which I have to say works for me. Don't get me wrong....I LOVE BIG BROTHER, but trying to keep up with the daily feed recaps and all the other show recaps I do, it was tough this winter. Summer is easier, because my kid is out of school so I am not here, there and yonder. But rest assured, I will be back this summer to keep you up to date on what's going on inside the Big Brother house.

Now, you have been sitting there all season reading everything I write. Why not put your two cents in.
Tell me what you think. About my ramblings, about my coverage of what's going on, about this site or our sister site ( http://bbbut.proboards7.com/index.cgi?board=bb9 ).
Did you like what we did this year?
Do you want to be involved and help over the summer? If so, click here ( http://bbbut.proboards7.com/index.cgi?board=bb9&action=display&thread=1217 ) and let us know.

I want to extend a personal THANK YOU to Janeyfan/Christina for helping and doing the show recaps for me. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. I could not do both live feed recaps and show recaps. Hope you can come back over the summer.

Until the last day.....

Big Brother Feed Recap 04/18/08

12:03 am BBT: Adam and Sheila chained together in bed talking in the dark. Sheila says now she feels bad since she knows the truth. She says she's so sorry Allison because she didn't know. Sheila says it's so amazing what Amanda and Natalie did. Adam says Natalie is clueless most of the time. Sheila asks why he was nice to her then. Adam says she can't defend herself. Sheila says, Oh Please! She says behind closed doors Natalie was feisty. They discuss that Natalie had a voice change when Julie talked to her. They make fun of Nat's vocal changes and say it was a different persona. Adam said he knew all the Natty's -the sleepy, the chatty...all of them. They go on to make fun of Natalie by mocking the "talk to Julie" voice.

They talk about Sharon going to HoH. Sheila says Ryan and Sharon can't win PoV. Sheila tells Adam not to throw the PoV. Adam says he's not going to throw shit. Sheila says whatever happens tomorrow will be God's will. Adam says he wants to do things on his own in comps so he doesn't owe anyone anything. Sheila says "What would happen if he won? That would suck!" Sheila says she's going to sleep. Adam says, OK Good Luck. Then he says "You're about to go to sleep and I want to party!" Sheila thinks they'll get up early tomorrow. She asks Adam if he's comfortable. He says he's good.

Sheila says it could be worse - they could be on slop and shackled for a week! Adam says it could be his last week in the house. Sheila says don't say that you don't want to jinx it. Adam says he wants to say that. Sheila says it would suck if they left...all that work for a unitard and a motorcycle. She says that would suck and be the ultimate screw you. She laughs and Sharon calls what from the other room. Sharon says everything is in the dryer now. Sheila says you got to have a sense of humor when you're shackled together.

Adam calls goodnight to Sharon and Sheila echoes same. Sheila asks if Sharon will check the storage room for meds for Sheila and Adam's headaches. Sharon says there isn't any. Sheila says "Dammit. That's what I figured."

They talk about how weird it will be to do whatever they want again. Adam says being shackled isn't so bad. Sheila agrees. Adam suggests moving shackles to their ankles. Sheila says no and Adam says he could shackle her to the bed post. Sheila says slaves were shackled at the feet and she won't even do that because it's disgusting and it's one of the worst things that ever happened in history. Adam says the slaves were treated like shit. Sheila says it already bothers her to be shackled and this is just a game. Adam says "How did you end up back in bed with me?" Sheila says "it's a cruel joke."

Talk turns to Sheila's ex George snoring worse than Adam and Ryan. She says he needs surgery but won't do it because he's a singer.

Adam asks what Sheila's son does all day? Sheila says he's very talented and he makes money and he's going to a continuation school and will get a tutor when she gets out of the house so he can go to Art College. Adam jokes about the lifestyle of the band promoter and Sheila says don't joke about that and don't go there.

12:25 am BBT: Sheila and Adam are talking about Natalie. She asks him if was going to go into business with her. He says, no... I don't know. Sheila starts naming off all the stuff Natalie had her heart on selling; t-shirts, flip-flops, bandanas, coffee mugs, etc. Adam is laughing at all the things Sheila is naming off.

Survivor Fans vs Favorites - "But Can You Trust Them"

So for this episode we have previews that lead us to believe that James will no longer be the dumbest Survivor in history. Someone will do something that is even more bonehead than James not playing one of his two immunity idols last time around. Will it be Jason, Ozzy maybe one of the girls, who knows. You will once the show is over.

The show begins with the fallout from Eliza's surprise elimination. The girls can't believe how smug she was thinking she had the idol, but in fact it was just a stick. I for one enoyed that episode because I never liked Eliza...she was a sneaky snake.

The dawn of the next day brings us quickly to the reward challenge. Wow, no wasted filler here. For the reward of getting to go to the most civilized place on Micronesia, the Survivors have to work their way thru a net obstacle out in the water to a platform. On the platform is a set of picture tiles. They must memorize them and swim back and arrange another set of tiles on another board in the same order. First team to get it right wins reward. Oh yeah, forgot to tell you this is a team challenge. Two teams of 4, and since there are 9 people, one person will not play and will got to Exile. A school yard pick is how the teams are choosen and to my delight, Cirie goes to Exile....woohoo. In case you can't tell, I don't like Cirie....never have. Wonder how she became a favorite. I at this point, hope it rains like hell while she is at Exile.

So the challenge moves along with everyone taking there turn at swimming out and studying the pattern and trying to recreate it. Team Ozzie (which consists of Ozzie, Eric, Jason and Amanda) are the victors. And off they go on a plane ride to the remote little town of Yap where they are met by some villagers and are treated to a feast. Eric embraces the experience and takes it all in trying everything. Good to see someone really enjoy this. Tis a shame he enoyed it a bit too much and ended up sick that night.

We get to see Cirie miserable on Exile what with the downpour of rain and the loudest thunder she has ever heard.....yyyyaaaayyyyy!!!!!! She is not able to keep the fire lit so therefor I am sure she has nothing to eat.....woohoo!!! Can you tell that I don't like her...no, not yet....just wait.

The next day is immunity challenge time and we see it is basically a recycled challenge from some Survivor before. They will be standing on a stump with one arm above them. That arm is chained to a rope and the rope goes up to a big barrell which contains water in it. Object of the game, don't move your arm. If you do and the barrell tips over and the water comes out, your out. You just know the temptations will be coming out before long. First one is gummy candies and this one is enough for Cirie and Eric to decide to split. Stupid Stupid Stupid....if you are gonna give up immunity, do it for more than gummy candy ***rolls eyes***

Natalie is out next with no temptation in site. She apparently lost her concentration and fell off the stump.

Jeff comes out with the next temptation and before he can even say what it is, Alexis pulls her chain only to find out she did not get the choc chip cookies and milk. Again stupid stupid stupid.....is immunity really worth so little. Bring on the hamburger, pizza or beer please.

James is the next out all due to lack of concentration. No temptation or anything. Come on guys, you know you have to be still for this challenge. Any little movement and your out.

Next temptation is 3 chocolate covered donuts and Ozzie wastes no time in yanking his chain and getting soaked. I still think this is not enough to drop out for. At this point Ozzie seems a little too comfortable.

Amanda drops out because she has to go to the bathroom....lol. We see her take off for parts unknown in the jungle to relieve herself. And at this point we are left with Jason and Parvati....yuck, puke, yuck. After, oh I don't know 6 hours, Jeff comes out with a tray of an assortment of stuff......donuts, chocolate bars, pizza, milk, beer and who knows what else. He says whomever gets down will get to share it with the others but not the winner of immunity. Parvati tries to get Jason to step down as do the others who have been eliminated. They go so far as to tell Jason they will not vote him out. Every one of them tell him this, but alas we see some crossed fingers. Jiffy is surprised that Jason is stupid enough to fall for this. He even asks Jason, "but can you trust them". So after a little bit, Jason takes the bait and pulls his chain. What a bonehead move.....or is it.

Later, back at camp it looks to be a sure thing that everyone is going back on their word to Jason and will be voting him out. That is until Cirie (bitch) hatches this plan to oust Ozzie. Oh how I hate Cirie. She manages to pull Jason, Alexis and Natalie over and convince them to vote out Ozzie. All they need is a 5th and guess who comes along. Parvati. Cirie tells Parvati what they plan to do. My hope at this time is that Parvati will grow a brain and not turn on Ozzie. Ozzie, James, Eric and Amanda are still planning to vote out Jason and they think Parvati is with them. James seems to be the only one of the group that is really on to Parvati and this "girl power" trip she is on.

At tribal council it is apparent it is Jason that is going, but then you see this cryptic little smile on that bitches face, so I know right then that Parvati is the swing vote. Which alliance will she stay loyal too. The one that got her this far or the one that will get her no where. Votes are cast and Jiffy is asking for the immunity idol. It is at this point in the show I am no longer sitting down. I am pacing the floor and I keep repeating "play the idol Ozzie", "play the idol"...."play the idol Ozzie", "play the idol".......he doesn't. So the votes are cast and it comes down to a 4 to 4 tie. The moment of truth....Did Parvati betray Ozzie......yes the other bitch did. And it is at this time that Ozzie is unfortunately inducted in to the Bonehead Decisions Hall of Shame, along with James.

I am at this point almost in tears as I watch Ozzie's torch being snuffed out. I love it when Ozzie makes one last look at the Survivors as if to say, you got me now but I will have the last word.

I loved Ozzie's good-bye confessional. He tells the camera that those that turned on him he does not like, or did he say hates. And f'them. Way to say what you think Ozzie.

I am really bummed at this point, because I was rooting for Ozzie and James all the way. Now I am down to my hometown dude, James. But he has to step it up and win some immunities or he will be out next week. If this comes down to a chick flick, I think I will puke. I hope somehow James is able to get Cirie and then Parvati out.....in that order. I want Cirie out next.......She kicked out the one of the two pieces of eye candy on the show....time for her to it the road.

Until next week........

Big Brother Feed Recap 04/17/08

11:10PM thru 12:45AM BBT: There is just lots of general chit chat and obsession about who the 4th couple is; Sheila just evicted a long lost cousin, Ryan and Sheila, Sharon and Sheila are lesbian lovers, on and on. Ryan is the only one that is ignoring most of these conversations as he’s in the HoH listening to music and when he steps downstairs for a moment or two and they are all discussing he says he doesn’t really care.

12:45AM BBT: Sheila is going to bed, Adam is reading the bile and Sharon gets ready for bed too but, then sneaks upstairs to the HoH room to talk to Ryan. She is telling Ryan about Adam’s conversation with her. She says he’s trying to keep the blood off his hands. He told her he would let Sharon make the vote this week. Ryan confides in Sharon that he DOESN’T want to take Adam to the F2. Sharon tells Ryan that Adam winked at Natalie as he came out of DR/voting so that she would know he voted for her.Ryan thinks they should keep Adam this week and get rid of Sheila. And if Adam is the deciding vote he’s going to try and convince Adam to evict Sheila. Ryan doesn’t think she deserves to be at the end.Sharon gives Ryan options for why he could put Adam on the block but, Ryan isn’t really having anything to do with it… he says they’ll talk about it later.

1:10AM BBT: Sharon leaves HoH to go to bed. She tiptoes through the house, says whispers goodnight beeebeee’s as she passes by the GP’s. Sheila is asleep already and Adam is still reading the bible.

April 16th Show Recap. Live Eviction

Live Eviction Night

Sometime during the week. Ryan and Adam called Natalie out on her playing both sides. Natalie swore her loyalty was with the boys as it had always been. Saying she would indeed put Sheila up next week. Later she tearfully apologizes to Ryan and Adam saying it was all strategic game play she had only ever been trying to protect them.

After the calling out Sheila is as convinced as ever that Natalie needs to be the one to go home this week. Adam and Ryan now arent so sure. Adam feels sorry for Natalie and Ryan says that Natalie has been nothing but loyal to him and Sharon has done nothing for any of them. Sheila gets seriously angry.

We get to see James arrival in the jury house. Chelsia is disappointed to see him. And he tells her that he was evicted because of her and the way she left the house. I don't think this is necessarily all true. He was a major target before Chelsia really had her bad behaviour.

The live votes doesnt go as I had thought it would. I was almost sure both boys would vote to evict Sharon and that would be that. So when Ryan cast his vote to evict Natalie I had to do a double take at the tv. Adam voted to evict Sharon which Left the sole decision on Sheila and I couldnt help but do a little happy dance.

Sheila evicts Natalie and I wanna dance in the streets. I am soooo happy she is gone gone gone. Natalie looks devastated and told Julie she is really upset with the boys. She really thought they should have known that she was with them and always loyal to them.

Ryan wins HOH after a tie breaker question with Sharon. This is a pretty predictable week. Ryan will nominate Sharon and Sheila hoping that either he or Adam will win the POV to keep the noms the same. If one of the girls wins POV of course Adam goes up. I am not sure who they would vote off for sure in either circumstance.

At this point my fav players are gone and I really dont wanna root for any of them. They are all pretty boring so I dont suspect any major drama over the next couple weeks.

Big Brother Feed Recap 04/16/08

Here ya go....today's recap:

Midnight... Natalie is in the sauna praying. Adam opens the sauna door. Natalie tells him she was praying and in her best baby-talk voice she tells Adam she was praying to God telling him to "I just wanna stay, just one more week God. Please let those boys know I am telling them the truth God, please."

1:00AM BBT: Neither Ryan or Adam are tired. They’re talking about how much Sheila is going to freak out when it goes 1 – 1. Now Adam is considering what segments he might have on BB this week; Mr. A-bot-o, quitting cigs, faking out the cameras. Adam says he only has 10 cigs left and he thinks they will last him 7 or 8 days.

1:40AM BBT: Ryan and Adam are just rehashing general conversations they’ve already had but, Adam does mention how pissed he is about their 1am curfew.He gets out of bed to see if the BY is locked up, goes to the BR, admires himself in the mirrors, roaming the KT, looks for something to eat, etc. Sheila is up watching the TV with clicker in hand.Adam goes back to bed and tells Ryan he thinks something is “up.” Ryan speculates that it’s James and Chelsia are coming back in the house tomorrow. Ryan says he’d DoR.

1:50AM BBT: Adam says he's going to be up for another 30 minutes or so, "camp style." Adam yells to Sharon what she would think about Matt coming back and she said she’s fine as long as it’s not Jacob. Adam says it’s 2 for 1 tomorrow and that Matt is coming back. Natalie yells from the boat room, “kiss my ass, Baller" He repeats and she says she’s going to sock him in the eyeball.Natalie starts yelling to production that the nicotine patches have messed up the boys. They ask both the girls what they think of their Matt idea and the both say "NO WAY." Natalie repeats that she thinks their brains are fried from the nic patches. She says if Matt comes back she’s hitting the red button. They’re all in their respective rooms laughing, not being able to sleep.

Big Brother Till Death Do Us Part.....Feed Recap 04/12/08

Midnight... Sheila is up in the HoH room listening to her CD. Natalie, Ryan and Adam discuss how much time they have left in the house and Natalie throws some Sheila bashing in for good measure. Natalie eventually heads to bed. While Ryan and Adam are still up and around.

12:40AM BBT: Ryan and Adam do ADLs before heading to bed and spend at lest an discussion random topics before finally going to sleep.

9:55AM BBT: They're all sleeping.

10:15AM BBT: Wakeup call. They're all up doing ADLs and wondering if they will get a party for Sheila's birthday.

10:49AM BBT: Sharon is talking a mile a minute about a guy she dated while cutting up a pepper for the GPs while Natalie is in the back gound saying, "Baaabiiies, fuuurends."

10:55AM BBT: Sharon is still going... BB: "Adam! I SAID it's time to get up for the day!" He yells, "Happy Birthday Sheila" and comes out for a group hug.

11:30AM BBT: Sheila and Adam have been talking in the kitchen. He had a funny look on his face and she asked him what he was thinking about. Adam says, “You.” Sheila laughs and moves one seat away from him. She says that she doesn’t feel old with this crowd, when Chelsia and James were in the house she felt old. Natalie is in the bathroom doing her ADLs and joining in the conversation now and again. Sheila and Adam discuss James’ eviction and Sheila fells it was the right thing to do, Natalie agrees from the bathroom. Adam tells Sheila that the four of them (Sharon, Josh, James and Chelsia) all thought once couples split that they had the final four in the bag. Natalie says that Chelsia said that her and James were not working together anymore and Natalie to her she wasn’t born yesterday and she knew they were still a couple. They’ve discussed the cursed bed and every one that has slept in it has been evicted, Sheila keeps winking and making faces at Adam because she is saying that once couples were split everyone got to work as individuals (Sheila thinks he and Adam have a pack to watch out for each other). Sheila comments in a whisper that Natalie is in the boat room and maybe it’s the room that’s cursed and tries to stifle her giggle but adds that she is still here. Adam continues to make faces and makes her laugh.
