Poor Joshuah

So far James is staying pretty quiet, always listening.

Joshuah is extremely upset about Neil's untimely departure and is a bit stressed out about having to take on Shannon as a stand in partner. Chelsia is helping keep him in check and on the ground after almost breaking down at dinner. Joshuah seems like a very strategic player. His emotional output just shows me he's real. Most of the house is staying on guard, especially Jen and Ryan. Most continue to annoy me, but Amanda is reminding me of Janelle every moment. She may have to be promoted from "prettier Amber". And must I remind you, what a great ass.

After watching the CBS show [technically] last night, I feel as if Sheila and Adam may actually work. He did specify he liked a dominant woman during the challenge, and I saw a glimpse of attraction when "Ma" came out in a nurses outfit.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone and the couples, hopefully there's some cuddlin' on the feeds tonight.

One More Tidbit

There's one good thing (and it's the only one) about Sharon's return. Her and Parker's rehashing of everything that has gone down is revealing some info that hasn't been captured by the cameras.

Here's the latest - Sheila has told at least one person (Parker) that her child has a disability. No word on exactly what it is, but it does kind of explain the extended segment about her being insulted by Adam's use of the word "retard".

It may also be the reason those two are paired together. Somebody with a child with disabilities paired with somebody who works with them. Maybe that's a stretch, but I can't see anything else they have in common.

First Kiss of the Show, and It's Not the "Lesbians"

Oooooh, before he got word that he had to leave, Neil kissed Josh. I figured the first makeout session would be between two of the girls.

It's also become more clear tonight that the "lesbian couple" is a hoax, as Allison is confiding her gambling and family problems to Sheila.

Neil Out - Sharon Back.

Sounds like Neil had some family issues he was needed for. No exact reasons given but he has now left the house.

Replacing Neil is Sharon.

Well, this is an unexpected twist.

Update: I guess Joshua got to pick who came back between Jacob and Sharon.

WTF?

Sharon's back? How did that happen?

So I was thinking about a good twist.

I write a blog for Real.com - you know, the ones that do the whole feed thing?

I was brainstorming for a good way to break the couples up a bit and came up with a twist to the POV that might do it.

So if that souds interesting - check it out over on BigBrothersKeeper.com

Amanda's Booty

I think I like it...a lot...especially in those booty shorts she was wearing at the end of the episode.

Worst HOH competition ever. That's the best they could come up with?

Keep Your Shirt On, Adam!

I'm a chubby guy. There's no way I'm parading my flabby, pale belly in front of a bunch of (sort of) hot chicks, let alone national television. Unless, of course, a hottie wants me to (which doesn't happen very often).

Adam, please spare those of us at home who have yet to eat. Nobody wants to see you shirtless.

Ugh, Sheila!

Five minutes of Sheila complaining about the use of the word "retard"? Ugh, make her stop!

BTW, Jacob's retarded...and a homeboy wannabe. I'm so glad he's booted.

Ok, I Was Wrong About Parker, Jen, and Ryan

It's funny how quickly opinions can change. At the conclusion of last night's show I was convinced the Parker and Jen were calm, fun-loving people that could be the favorites to win the whole damn thing. The only roadblock I saw was Ryan, who seemed to be a typical jealous roid-head.

Three hours later, everything had changed. The feeds opened to Parker and Jen screaming at each other, and for the most part Ryan was the calm one. I now see Jen as the spoiled princess who is a wonderful person to be around as long as she's getting her way. I thought I heard another person claim that she had been telling everybody that it was her game to lose...but who knows in the clusterfuck of voices that made it next to impossible to pinpoint exactly who was talking.

Parker knows he's fucked, but he did everything he could to be the center of attention. He's as pigheaded as Jen.

Throughout all of this Ryan did little but lay around on the couch. The one time I saw him venture outside he threw out a couple of one-liners to Parker, who then used it as a "he threatened me" charade. Ryan's only sin was using one of my least favorite cliches when he warned everybody that Parker better not "disrespect my girlfriend". Ugh. Save those sorts of lines for Tyra.

Why did Jen tell anybody about her relationship with Ryan? That seems like the dumbest move I've seen in recent years. Letting this news slip out did nothing but guarantee that both couples will see early exits. To be fair, though, it sounds like she had no idea that Ryan was also coming into the house. In fact, Matt (who I know I'm going to hate this entire season) was heard bitching about how unfair it is that Ryan didn't have to go through the casting process.

Besides their silly drama (which was sort of cleared up before the Showtime broadcast ended), the highlight of the night was the drunk bimbos. Allison is one of those sloppy drunk whores who can't form a coherent sentence after a couple of drinks, while Amanda is one of those girls who when drinking thinks she can solve everybody's problems but ends up making things worse. It was also funny to hear the Jesus freak (Natalie) talk about her blowjob skills.

BTW, despite what Barb said earlier today on Paltalk, I was the first to proclaim Chelsia as the girl most worth hanging out with. I stand by those remarks...at least for a couple more hours.

"I don't know if it smells lol"

At 4:08 p.m. EST Jen told Amanda not to come near her because she farted. I am on the fence about how I feel about this. I mean, it's common courtesy to alarm those around you but just knowing it makes feel weird about her. She also complained about the paint job. Smugface number one.

Ratings Are In - 3rd Place?

The fast overnight ratings are in for last night and I was a bit surprised to see that Big Brother came in 3rd place.

I wasn't surprised to see them be beaten by American Idol on FOX, however NBC's Biggest Loser also passed them up.

According to Zap2it.com,

FOX increased its lead at 9 p.m. as "Idol" jumped to 17.7/26. "The Biggest Loser" ticked up to 4.9/7 to move NBC ahead of CBS and the premiere of "Big Brother 9," 4.6/7.

That actually is pretty close numbers wise between 2nd and 3rd. Biggest Loser was also on from 8-9pm so their audience carried over.

For what it is worth Big Brother traditionally starts out slow and picks up ratings over the season. Hopefully the Execs at CBS remember that and don't hold the 3rd place spot against Big Brother.

The second episode, featuring an eviction that took place last weekend, will be shown tonight.

This site will SPOIL everything so don't come here if you don't want to know.

That being said, Jacob and Sharon will be kicked out on tonight's show and Alex and Amanda will win the Head of Household.

Live feeds - my views so far

My main observation from last night is the women cannot hold their liquor. Amanda thought she could fix the world (kind of reminded me of a drunk me haha). She also would not stop fidgeting and picking at her sweater and hair to the point of distraction. Was it Natalie who had those awful pink socks? She was a loud, obnoxious instigator. Ma wasn’t seen much until later in the kitchen.

The energy was there last night. Couldn’t turn off the feeds and go to bed. The level of drama would give a paltalk room a run for it’s money.

One thing I did notice as we were going to bed, the feeds were showing Amanda and Parker on the ottoman talking to Ryan and Jen. The feeds cut off and when they came back, all 4 feeds were them, but conspicuously missing from the ottoman was Parker. Also could no longer hear the other loud drunken houseguests in the background. I then shut down and went to bed.

Why did they cut the feeds and where did Parker go?

G Strings Are In? Who Knew?

Has ANYONE worn a G String in the house before? I don't recall. Yet here is Amanda in one last night and from what I read at least one other house guest was seen in one as well.

Have to say this much, these folks aren't shy. Allison Grodner (exec producer) probably is very happy with the HGs so far.

I was skeptical about this season but now I am a interested, and the traffic on the net went WAY up once the show was on. We'll see if they tune in again tonight to see Jacob and Shannon evicted and then Alex and Amanda win HoH (if it is shown).
