The house unanimously decided to get rid of Alex & Amanda in Big Brother 9 Episode 8. Following that, Joshuah & Sharon won HOH.
Allison wanted to target Alex & Amanda, though they edited it to make it look like she was the one who was targeting Matt & Natalie, so Joshuah is upset with Allison and wants her gone. Allison is disappointed that Josh is such a sore winner, which he carries on by throwing insults at her like they’re in third grade. Ultimately, he does draw it back to the fact that she faked being a lesbian. He’s got a valid reason for being upset by that, which as I said was a stupid idea from the beginning… but he’s approaching it completely the wrong way. Like the prior HOH’s, he’s failing to realize he only has HOH for one week. The good news for him is that nobody else in the house really likes Allison either.
Allison lashes out against Matt and Ryan for not having stuck up against her. As if the guilt trip is going to make her any happier.
Big Brother plays a prank on Sharon, bringing in a picture of her and Jacob. Joshuah gets a princess tiara… except this isn’t a prank. He’s thrilled by his tiara.
Despite the fact that Sheila pretended to be a lesbian and also was the one who was reluctant to tell the truth, Joshuah is cool with her. He just hates Allison, who at this point seems to be in a state of not caring less.
Natalie’s trying to get Matt to fall for her, but he just keeps pushing her away and does not want to get emotionally attached.
Remember last week when two people went to the hospital with food-related problems? You know that means. It’s time for another food challenge. The girls dress in asparagus unitards for the challenge. Teams must load asparagus into crates that matches the amount of weight of their partners, within 10 pounds. Everybody’s working together. Matt & Natalie are unable to win the carbs and feast, but they win everything else, so hopefully it will be enough to keep the ambulance away for this week.
Allison decides to provoke Joshuah into another fight. They have a battle of wits, but neither is particularly well armed. Since she’s fighting back, he’s not as interested in fighting, though. He wants peace in the house. Huh? Then he calls a house meeting with the exclusion of Ryan & Allison. The rest of the house wants Allison gone. I’m surprised she’s even survived this long. Ryan’s not impressed with her either, but he’s stuck with her.
Allison goes upstairs to talk to Joshuah because she believes she can patch things up. She apologizes. He tells her to win or go home.
Everybody’s concerned about being the pawn.
