Fashion Show

Not much to report on last night. Kevin and Natalie continued to come up with ideas on how to torture Michelle, but everybody did come together to put on a pretty boring fashion show. Kevin was the judge, but the winner was eventually decided by rock/paper/scissors. Guess who won? Yep, it was Natalie.

Bye Bye Michelle

POV was apparently on dates, which means Natalie's premonition was (finally) correct. Kevin apparently won, and he's celebrating with Natalie.

Hehe - Jordan apparently didn't make it through the first "block"...and it was Jeff-related. She claims she didn't understand the instructions. Oh God.

Edit: Get this - Natalie is demanding that Kevin throw the first round of the final HOH.

Operation Jordan!

Natalie wants to get into Jordan's head to make it easier to get rid of Michelle. She's even planning on sleeping in the same room as those two to prevent Michelle from talking to her. She also has again pledged final two with Kevin.

Cooler Heads Prevail

Michelle used the veto on herself (with Jordan now up), and Natalie confirmed to Kevin that Jeff will be voted out on Thursday.

Could This Man Be The Luckiest Player Ever?

Apparently, Michelle is giving serious thought, thanks to Natalie (and the diary room), to using the POV on Jeff. If she does, she'll replace Marcellas as the dumbest contestant ever. She really can't be that stupid!

We'll know in just a few minutes!

Natalie's Non-Stop!

Monday morning are generally pretty boring until the POV ceremony. Not today, as Natalie was working it hard from the moment she woke up. She has everybody believing that she's their ally, and has come close to convincing Michelle to use the veto on Jeff!!! She buttered her up by saying she's as alone in the game as she is (hahah), and she still claims she had no idea that Kevin was going to break his deal with Jeff. Michelle really can't be that stupid!

Is There Something Going On Tonight?

I'm sure quite a few of us were shocked to see Natalie take a shower today, but now Michelle has dressed up and applied makeup. Did the HG's win a party of some sort?

Michelle: A Socially Inept Winner?

Nobody can say that Michelle hasn't worked hard to get where she's at in the game. She was initially paired up with two people who didn't like her, and has always been the outsider in any group she was affiliated. Yet winning 3 POV's and 1 HOH has launched her into the final four (unless something strange happens in the next four days).

Her competitive skills are now in place to get her into the finals. Obviously, she's in by simply winning HOH or POV next week. But even without that happening, she's in a pretty good position. If by a small miracle Jordan wins POV, she could survive even if she's on the block...but there's a chance that Kevin or Natalie could do the same if they think about jury votes (don't think Natalie's not thinking about that scenario).

Yet there probably hasn't been a more awkward final four contestant than Michelle. She's prone to giggling when pressed with questions; she forgets details of conversations (and not conveniently like Natalie). She could have easily squashed Jordan and Jeff's paranoia about Russell if she could have formed a coherent sentence. None of this will matter, though, if she survives next week.

Kevin's Nominations!

No surprise here - it's Michelle and Jeff. Michelle's cleaning, and Jeff's cooking. The only comment overheard is Jeff said "fucking scumbags". Natalie is upstairs rehashing every second of the luxury competition while loudly munching on chips.

Kevin Tells Michelle She's Not His Target

Minutes after telling Jeff he's safe, Kevin told Michelle that he wants her to be in the final four with himself, Natalie, and Jordan. This week is going to get interesting.

Nat Calling Out Michelle

Kevin's HOH win really is Gnat's, and she's laying into Michelle right now. Of course, we're all hearing the usual garbage about how Natalie's "word is everything". Michelle's handling it better than she did last night, saying she knows that she's going up "and I'm fine with it".

Earlier today, the house had a money-grab luxury competition, which also involved a "Pandora's Box" where Kevin chose "greed". Jeff has bragged that he grabbed as much money as he could, but Jordan felt there was a catch and only grabbed a handful of $100's. Jeff also grabbed a "mystery key", which obviously has something to do with that door Julie showed us on Thursday night.

Could Jeff have once again lucked into a game-saving twist?

Nominations are coming up soon, and Kevin is now talking to

Michelle Knows She's In Trouble

You gotta feel for her. She's been pretty much alone this whole game, and despite her issues she's not a bad person. She knows she's in trouble, and while we have all predicted that it would be Jeff and Jordan on the block Natalie is pushing hard for evicting Michelle.

Natalie's reason for going after Michelle is some insane theory that next week's competition will be memory-based, and only Michelle can beat her at that. Yeah, right. What about the last memory comp? Now if there was a babbling competition, she'd win hands down.

POV Coming Soon

Sorry that there hasn't been an updates in the last few hours, but there's not a lot to report. Jeff and Jordan are still telling Michelle that Kevin is their target this week, but their paranoia against Russell has extended to Michelle. Russell attempted to talk to them in HOH, but all three were asleep.

There's a good chance that the veto competition is one of those "morph picture" contests, and Kevin has been spending a lot of time studying the picture wall. Russell would be well advised to do the same.

Natalie's Prize

Natalie won a phone call from home, and is understandably giddy. Her father said that they all gather to watch the network broadcasts (of course), and that her boyfriend stays up all night watching the live feeds. Who knows when this footage will air, though, as Thursday is pretty jam packed with action. I bet if she wasn't on the block, they would have held off the phone call until this weekend.

Not much else has happened the last 18 hours or so. The house went off slop last night, and BB stocked the storage room with sweets. Jordan ate a whole log of cookie dough by herself, and her sugar high babbling was entertaining.

Jeff finally got to spend the night alone with Jordan, although they did a lot of bickering before finally snuggling. They're both pretty paranoid about Russell and Michelle, although those two are just as bad. This morning Michelle confided to Russell that she heard people talking about her all night long. Somebody explain to me, though, how the Michelle/Russell alliance works when she's the one pushing Jordan to backdoor him.

As for the hens, Jessie was again the main top of discussion, and Lydia was again upset over things that Kevin and Natalie were saying about him. She especially didn't like it when Kevin told her that she was "Plan B" for Jessie, and that the nights he was especially caring to her were supposedly the same nights that Jessie and Natalie were arguing. Finally, Kevin demanded that the two girls come up with 20 good things about Jessie...and they both stopped after a couple of questionable compliments.

Michelle's HOH

Ok, I must say I like Michelle as her CD of choice is Weezer's Pinkerton!

It's overall a pretty subdued HOH gathering.

BTW, Natalie and Chima wanted nothing to do with seeing her HOH.

Dog Days of Summer

The lack of posts the past couple of days is because there really hasn't been anything going on. There's really only been three things worth noting:

1. Michelle's bikini top broke yesterday, so feed watchers got a nice fleeting glimpse.

2. Jeff took a sip of Gatorade, and has been given an extra day of slop as punishment.

3. BB has provided some activities for the house. Play-doh was introduced last night, and a badminton set was given to them today. Could those be used in the next HOH?

Otherwise, everybody has been been laying around. Jeff is so bored that he just headed up to the HOH. Jessie and Natalie scurried around, and dragged in the chess set, but it turns out Jeff just wants to hear Chima's Prince CD

Overnight Report

Last night, I was fully ready to sit through all of Showtime. Unfortunately, I gave up about an hour in. The house was annoyingly calm - Jessie and Natalie playing chess, then Jessie and Lydia playing pool. Jeff napping in the hammock, with Jordan working out. A few others sitting inside eating.

Russell was sitting by himself this entire time, and I made a big mistake turning off the television at the precise moment he suddenly had a huge smile and headed indoors. I should have known the wheels were turning in his head, and he had decided to make a move.

Not right away, though. Instead, it's the Jessie and Natalie show. Jessie really has figured out the ramificaitons of Jeff holding the mystery power, while Chima has suddenly realized that her week of HOH will mean nothing. "What the fuck did I win HOH for if the fucking mystery power is that you can take people down and put up whoever you want? Really? What am I here for then? That's all my power. You usurped my power. All I got is lotion and a luke warm shower. I would have a fit during the live show and then I'd camp my ass inside the DR."

Jessie's game of pool with Lydia was to inform her that Michelle apparently was spreading stories that Lydia would target Jeff. Of course, she runs to Jeff with this info, and Jordan advises Jeff that she just talk to Michelle. The two actually have a calm conversation that turns into a pep talk from Michelle.

Inside, Natalie (and Chima) is pissed that Jessie used her as the source of this story to Lydia. They (somewhat joingly, IMHO) threaten to cut him out of their communications.

Around this same time, Michelle and Russell have a somewhat civil conversation while they play pool. Well, it starts off civil as Russell subtly pushes the conversation, blaming her for everything that happened the previous week.

Finally pissed, she tell Russell to "fuck off" and heads upstairs. Michelle is pissed that Russell attacked her, and says she thinks it's to put a wedge between her and Jeff. It must have worked, as she reports that she also thinks that Jeff has the mystery power, and will use it to save Russell. She also spills all about Jeff, including their final two deal and the fact that he was Casey's sympathy vote.

Jump ahead a bit and Chima is joined by Kevin, Michelle, and Natalie in the HOH. Chima has some very interesting comments. "The blue states aren't watching this show. The blue states are reading books. No offense red states - the red states are watching this show. The blue states would vote for you (Kevin) or me...Russell was on the bottom. Believe that." Ah yes, she again threw out the "terrorist" slur.

Michelle finally leaves, only to have to deal with Russell again. "You're a nutcase...Ronnie was on point on everything he said about you. You are absolutely fucking psycho."

Natalie comes out to find out what's happening, and when Russell complains that she was up there spilling everybody's secrets, Natalie nods to the affirmative while claiming they were talking about "nothing, really".

After another ugly confrontation, Michelle heads back upstairs to listen to Chima complain some more about her power being usurped.

Everybody who doesn't have the feeds really needs to sign up now to see all of this silliness!

Grrrrl Power? Ugh

Natalie and Michelle are in the HOH with Chima, who has told them that she wants a woman to win the season. Does she not know that any conversation with Natalie will go right to Jessie?

Russell is indeed Chima's target, and Natalie is pretending to back her while at the same time attempting to raise doubts. She also is still enraged that Michelle voted to eliminate Ronnie.

Overnight Report

Another interesting night in the BB house. Jessie approached Jeff about a deal, but that didn't appear to work. Kevin, Jordan, Jeff, and Michelle all confirmed to Lydia that she's safe.

A bit of levity occurred throughout the night as BB broadcast viewer messages. I predict tonight's HOH competition will include these.

But the real fireworks of the evening occurred around 3:30 or so. Besides spreading rumors that Ronnie has the mystery power, Natalie was also pushing Ronnie to mess with the house, and Michelle in particular.

Of course, he did just that, beginning by slamming drawers and yelling in the splash room. Michelle then grabs Ronnie's glasses and hides them, and Ronnie threatens to make the girl's lives a living hell for the next 24 hours. It eventually boils down to a fight with Michelle, and when Ronnie calls her a bitch, she asks "is that language fit for a teacher?" He also tells her she has a "pig nose", and that she has the ugliest picture on the wall. Michelle's response? "Second only to you."

Again, I think this whole fight backfired. Jeff noticed (and he wasn't the only one) that Natalie was egging this on. This could be an interesting day - especially when they're all forced to sit together in the HOH later today.

Oh, one more thing - Natalie and Jessie promised each other kisses if either of them wins HOH. Ewww!

Yes You did! No I Didn't!

Natalie and Michelle keep going back and forth about the same supposed meetings. Natalie may want to tone it down a bit, because eventually people are going to compare notes about the various stories that Natalie is spreading.
