The house was given a choice between evicting Matt or Ryan in Big Brother 9 Episode 17. Following a tie vote, James decided to evict Matt from the house. Then the tide shifted again as Adam won HOH.
We were on something resembling a streak. Well, the streak is over. 60 Minutes is just starting, putting Big Brother 9 behind by about 50 minutes or so. A live blog will begin once the show starts.
Winning HOH hasn’t helped Adam’s below the radar strategy any.
Natalie is mourning the loss of her partner. As Matt was leaving, he pushed her away as usual. Josh is happy to see her suffering. She tells Chelsia she wants revenge against James, and Chelsia says she doesn’t care and that people can screw over James if they want. Natalie is done with these people. D-U-N.
Josh is getting irritated with Sharon talking baby talk to the guinea pigs. He tells us they don’t have the brain capacity to understand her. Oh, now that’s just way too easy.
Adam’s basket contains baby food, whatever that’s about. Natalie is hoping he’ll share.
As per usual, Josh tells the HOH he’s their bitch if they keep him around.
Following Josh’s lead, Adam screws with Sheila’s mind and tells her he may put her on the block. He seems halfway serious about it, too.
It’s time for a luxury competition. The reward is a screening of 21. Because the movie’s 21, the challenge is Big Brother blackjack. The winner will decide which three people to take with them. Ryan gets the first chip. James is the first one out. Natalie says she can add to 21, though it may take her a little longer than some people. Adam gets his first chip. Sheila is the next one to be eliminated. Ryan gets his second chip. Josh is the next one eliminated. Natalie gets her first chip, thereby proving she can count (or is just a really good guesser). Ryan gets his third chip. Then he gets his fourth chip to win. He picks Adam, Natalie, and James to go with him. Odd to see Sheila get left out.
Now that he’s won, they’re offering him the chance to risk it all, in exchange for playing one hand that could be worth a weekend getaway for two to Vegas worth over $21,000. If he doesn’t go for it, things stay the same. If he does go for it and loses, the four houseguests not picked will get to see the movie instead.
Ryan decides to take the risk. He holds at 18. The dealer gets 19. I’m not saying it was fixed or anything…
Now that it’s down to the final 8, they get the smaller table. Speaking of 8, Natalie believes she’s caught on to something because God gave her a sign with 8 curtains. Her theory is that Evel Dick may come back from Big Brother 8 in week 8. Well, I’ve got bad news for her. She’s right. The good news is that history has shown us he’ll be forgotten shortly after his reappearance.
James warns that if Adam puts him on the block, he’ll come get revenge on him. So how many people is James going after now? 6?
Nominations
Natalie-Safe
Sharon-Safe
Ryan-Safe
Joshuah-Safe
Sheila-Safe
James and Chelsia have been nominated. Adam says that they’re a team that needs to be split up. Somehow, Josh believes the nominations are his doing. Chelsia and James are acting tough, apparently surprised that their aggressiveness within the game keeps getting them nominated.
