Ah. So satisfying to see trailer-trash Jen get the boot. I hope Ryan gives her the boot too when he sees that she really did tell the others that he is racist. This is what I wanted to see!

Ryan looked like he really wanted to slap Jen up side her head. I also hope Ryan and Allison hook up, when Ryan sees the tape he'll dump Jen for sure.

I am glad Jen is gone, although I kind of liked Parker. I like the HoH winner. While as a guy, I appreciate having the girls in bikinis for the next 24 hours, I don't like the other things they had to give up. If it was me, considering there are no drinking glasses, I would have gone with the grill rather than the party. Although, to be fair, I would have chose the grill no matter what.

I believe Jen said "watch out for people who don't keep their word". Another pearl of wisdom from our fair Jen. I suppose it takes a liar to know a liar.

Is it the vibes from the house because I surely don't understand some of their choices in HOH game. They chose hot food over hot water. I would gladly eat sandwiches, cereal, anything cold for hot water to bathe in. Would have chosen the grill but I guess being in the house you need to get drunk. And how did the women end up cooking dinner? Worst of all, giving up the washing machine. I think the men were dominate in these choices.

When all of the HGs were looking at their pics on the wall, Jen said she was the 1st picture because she was going to win. Guess it was because she was 1st to be evicted! :)

Very predictable outcome jen/parker gone. no excitement there. Anyone notice Julie didn't mention you can see the hg's (evicted ones) on the Early Show? hmmmm wonder if they are being sequestered after all or "twist" coming back.
I hope so ..Parker might like that :)
thanks HD for a great synopsis of tonights show as always.:)
D

First off, glad for finally a live/evicition show. Though they are edited as much as the rest of the show it is the best insight to what these people are thinking. So big yeah to lots of diary room stuff.

Question: Did they reveal the actual votes? The way they had the couples discussing the good and bad was kind of quirky. With Josh and Sharon only talking about one of the couples. I am pretty sure the votes went by established lines but if you are a passive viewer I would expect they wouldn't know the exact votes.

Still kind of question removing Parker and Jen this early in the game because they have already set themselves up as liars and drama hounds. They could be easy patsies to try and push stuff on but the couples thing definitely has this game already at the nitty-gritty. I am happy they are out though because now hopefully Ryan will interject himself more and, maybe, Allison will be less stuck on Sheila. Can we move away from this silly lesbian alliance business now?

Definitely the H.O.H. game was definitely the best part! I still question whether some of them understood what their votes really meant. I would have voted for without water (I have gone months with just cold showers I don't think I could do that with cold food), bikini (the second answer I didn't understand, of the bat, whether it was their partners favorite clothes or their partner pick out a favorite outfit of the female), keep the utensils (easier to eat without help then drink without a cup since I imagine in this instance BB is going to cut back on the soda's and beers), outdoor grill (even if I was a drinker would have gone for that), women cook (because I am male but would be kind of worried I don't have the feeds but it looks like Alex does most of the cooking and the only female I seen do anythign remotely cooking was Jen), and finally would have chosen getting rid of the equipment (Matt and Nat are going to have to cut down on their activities since hard to wash sheets without a washing machine).

So finally happy to have James and Chelsia as H.O.H.. Would have liked them or Allison and Ryan to win it just because I feel like I haven't seen enough of J, C, or R to have an opinion of either of them. Now will hopefully see those three more on After Dark now. I swear I have seen more Ryan on the CBS show, if you take away his massage of Jen, then Sho2 after all these days.

Just what I wanted to see happen.... Jen was one huge skanky wannabe! Parker was okay, but seemed to be a very loose canon!
I like the HOH outcome. I think, and I know it's early, but I think if they have brains, they will put up Matt/Nat & Ma/Pa. If Matt/Nat get POV, then put up Alex/Aman. One of those two pairs needs to go next. No matter what they do, I'm so glad Jen is gone...

Wow, so ok...that really cleared a few things up for me that I was uncertain of. Jen is definitely a huge liar, and now she has a couple months (maybe) to figure out how best to do damage control with Ryan when he gets out of the house and sees what the truth is. It was also conclusively confirmed that Josh did say "...like her Dad..." I didn't catch that on the YouTube videos. What an ass.

I now think that Matt and Natalie are my favorites after watching that HoH competition. I think they voted the way I would have voted on all of the questions. Lots of short-sighted decisions made during that comp. Choosing a one-night party over a grill that you can use every day! Choosing exercise equipment over the washing machine! Dirty clothes are one thing, but what about these people's underwear? Can't you do push-ups and run around the yard for two weeks? Choosing hot food over hot water? Like Cerenay said, eat some cereal for three days! The best part was at the end of the show when Natalie was acting as the voice of reason with Chelsia....wow.

I also found it interesting how Julie's questioning of the evicted house guests took on a much more adversarial tone. Instead of open-ended questions that get lame answers, it was more like "When you did X it was totally stupid. Wouldn't it have been much better to do Y?" I loved that. Maybe I'm biased though, since Julie's suggestions on what would have been better were exactly what I've been thinking. And damn...it only took two days for Jen to ruin the whole thing. I had no idea it was that quick.

To answer your questions -- yes, I am glad that Parker and Jen are gone and also glad that Chelsia and James are HOH. As for last night's show, I also noticed that the Chenbot's "handling" of the evicted HG's was significantly different from her questions of seasons past. Maybe she's miffed that she has to do a winter version of the show!

I haven't been watching the feeds, but check in here to get the chatter. I'm surprised we haven't seen Matt and Nat's escapades on the show, seeing as we "saw" Jen and Ryan. I find this cast the least intelligent ever (maybe I suspend my standards in the summer?) Does anyone else feel that way? I also find them the most mean-spirited and immature ever. Usually there are a couple of "older" people to settle them down, but we apparently can't depend on Sheila and Adam to fulfill that role. I don't like the couples concept either. I hope that they are keeping the evicted HG's sequestered and that eventually people start to play as individuals and some of the evicted HG's are brought back (maybe the people still in the house will get to choose one of each evicted pair to come back?).

This all sounds very negative, but it's early in the a.m. and my caffeine fix hasn't kicked in yet.

It's good to see all the familiar names posting again this year.

Ok, it's just obvious that Jen is oblivious to the fact that she made a crucial mistake by telling Parker about her secret relationship! Instead of admitting she was wrong to Julie, she still says she would tell Parker the truth if she had it to do all over again! She's such an idiot. I thought she was supposed to be this big-time BB expert! Well, for some people its just too difficult to keep a secret from others- but come on, now she has no chance at winning anything more than that 5,000. Poor Parker, even though he is an idiot too! I still love Alex, though. Amanda needs to keep her mouth shut. After the show , I saw a BB commercial where Nat is saying how Mattie turns her on... And he sarcastically says, "She really thinks I'm her Love Match." How funny. Its true how a guy might appreciate the oral favor while in the act, but Nat is no one Mattie could take home to meet his family after she did that for him on tv!! Ha! Thanks HD! I really appreciated your updates! Your awesome!

Has anyone noticed that every season we have a "Jen" that we hate? I think it was Season 6 with Jen that didnt keep her word to Kaysar which sparked an I HATE JEN website. Season 8 was our lovely JENSA member. This season, yet another Jen we love to hate. Hmmmm?

I thought the same thing, Ryan, but Jen from last season grew on me as the season went on, probably because she usually did not seem to get too upset at ED's horrible treatment of her. I don't think our current Jen has any redeeming qualities. The "Jen" shirts that last season's Jen always wore were ridiculous, though. Somebody had a screen capture of her, and they Photoshopped over her "Jensa Member" or "Jenius," or whatever it was, to read "Jenital Herpes" which I thought was hilarious.

so happy that j/p are gone. what a mess of a game these two played. not smart!
i'm glad j/c got hoh, although i would have preferred that they not get it so early. kind of ruins their plans to lay low and observe...but at least they are safe for another week. i love this couple. on a side note with these two...chelsea needs to stop thinking she likes the football player type and go with her heart. james is right up her alley as far as a soul mate. they have a lot in common than she is willing to let herself acknowledge...and who is to say that james won't settle down some day soon. he was willing to do it with his ex-fiance. isn't love more important than money anyway? just a thought. they are a fun couple and i am glad they are in the house to keep it that way. i don't like the whole "couples" theme this season but as long as i have to watch it i might as well root for a true connection with someone and my hope is these two grab it....and win on both accords.
someone asked what the vote was...3-1. m/n voted for j/p to stay. it was announced by julie.
alli and shiela should have never started the lesbian couple lie and they should now not be saying it is true. i can't stand either woman and i feel really sorry for their partners because these two really buried them with this stupid scenario. now that it s out who in their right mind is going to believe another word they say...joke or not, it was a stupid move and now the hg are gonna be gunning for them just like jenn and ryan. dumb!! allison is already trying to dig her way out... good luck.
this week should be fun...i hope my players, j/c, don't get ahead of themselves and blow it.

I was happy to see Jen and Parker walk out the door, and I'll be eagerly waiting to see how Ryan comes across in the house now that his real side-kick is gone. I do think he is a genuine person, and he and Jen are not a good match. He's too good for her. I hope he wises up and PLAYS the game. I do feel for Parker 'cause he got a raw deal being hooked up with a moran.

As for the HOH comp, what the hell were they thinking when they chose the answers they did. I agree with the other poster in that the outcome is one sided - and the men got the better deal.

I also agree with DeathMetalDave that these are the least intelligent hamsters ever (I've said that before) as well as the least mature. As for Sheila, she has to play the game as a youngin because if she acts like the mom of the house, she'll be out of there in a NY minute. I do think if she had 1 or 2 other older people as roomies, she'd come across more mature. Hope that makes sense.

I really hope they cast a bit of an older crowd next time. I'm curious to see the difference, and I'm sure it'd be fun, more entertaining, with some good convo.

Well at least Ryan wii be single and have money if he wins this year,nice g/f to have in Jen would hate to have her as an enemy.I see the houseguests got pretty drunk later that night and the girl's once again tease the boy's by leading them on, we use to have a word for those type's C_ _ K teasers!!!!!

So you move into a house with a bunch of strangers and within less than a month your doing oral stimulation on a male,the word slut comes to mind or a good old wham,bam ,thank-you type girl.Wonder if she'll be taken home to be introduce to Mom ?

For the post by gray @ 6:36am
Last year's Jen was a nut and got all she deserved!!!

This season is HAMSTER LAME!!!

I really wish they would let us know how this show is going to play out. I dont mind suprises for the HG. But let me know how this is going to be a full season so I can really pay attention to the alliences.

Lisa writes, "Instead of admitting she was wrong to Julie, she still says she would tell Parker the truth if she had it to do all over again!"

While I agree that she should have kept the secret longer - - and Jen MIGHT agree, also, she had to answer that way in front of Parker. What if the two of them go back into the house at some point? Parker will have been the only houseguest to hear her this question and answer. In case her bridge isn't totally burned with Parker, the two of them could still form an alliance if they trusted each other. Not knowing if they are out of the game for good, or not, Jen's answer was almost scripted.

I agree with Kat Von Me-this season is definitely Hamster Lame!

I appreciate the time you take to do the live blogging but I think it's kind of pointless since anyone reading the blog is already watching the show. I'd much rather have you post a regular blog after it's over. I love reading your comments about the show!

The two most striking parts of last night's show, which for me and my notice are completely indicative of how boring this season is so far are (a) James's spazzed out convuslsions to the music in the HOH bed with his feet sticking up in the air like a doggy getting it's belly rubbed, and (b) Alison doing her nails in the spa or sauna or whatever it is called. GROSS ME OUT! Who wants to breathe in that toe ash or walk across the spa floor afterwards? And as far as Joshuah is concerned, he was heartless for saying what he said to Amanda. He was obviously making a play to be this season's Dick. He might be a dick but he ain't no Dick. I think the noose/father thing is a line that not even Dick would have crossed.

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I know you all will!), but I'm pretty certain it was Chelsia who specifically made the noose reference and Joshuah just added something to the effect of "Yeah, like her father." Amanda may be an annoying, immature gossip, but references like that to her father's suicide are really over the line.

Yet, I'm surprised to see comments from people here who like Chelsia. I'd sooner support the sluts and the liars who are playing the game than the people who are so mean-spirited and/or insensitive.

And yes, what were they thinking giving up hot water and a washer and dryer?!? I like hot showers and clean undies too much, I guess!!

Yes, it was Chelsia who originally said the noose comment but I don't think she really meant it that way.
And I still do not get why Joshuah got so angry towards Amanda. He is not even Chelsia's partner,
Did not make sense to me???

Having said that,
Amanda really is super annoying.
I feel badly for her about the Dad thing, but thats really her only redeeming quality about why you may muster up a sliver of liking towards her.
Otherwise she is a self centered girl who thinks shes wayyyy hotter than she is, and has a wayyyy better body than she does.
She is one of those girls who thinks guys should just fall all over her and kiss her ass.
Her whiny "NO ONE will massage me" comment.
As if she cannot believe that guys are not lining up to touch her.
Not that anyone does, but she really has no business being like that as she is not hot at all!

I am glad Alex got her number quickly and has put a fast stop to his attraction towards her.
He is such a cute guy, and seems like a good guy as well.
He can do far better.

Can somebody pls explain to me what is the purpose the Lesbian Alliance?
I thought they were going to tell everyone that and use to their advantage (though I still cannot figure out how it was an advantage)
But now they are saying they do not want anyone to know.

Excuse me, but
NOT WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR FAKE RELATIONSHIP YOU MADE UP???

Seriously, I have no idea what this means.
Maybe I am missing something.
Can somebody pls explain?

I agree with some of the others.
I am hoping for some kind of Survivor like "merge" in that at some point the players are going to be playing individually vs as teams.
Otherwise this season is going to be very short.

There has to be a point in the game where there are no more teams.
But the drama so early on in this season is definitely making it fun.

My questions HD- What was that blur in the mirrored glass when Josh was talking to Amanda in the HOH room at the beginning of the show? I'm thinking it was Neil. Do you think this is a short season or what with 2 going a week? It would be lame to let couples back in.

Im so happy that Jen went home! I hated her from day one. She was so cocky and stupid and was playing her boyfriend the entire time. If she had won, i dont think that i would have watched BB again. I hope that when her BF sees that she called him a racist, he dumps her.

I thought Parker wanted to kill Jen during the interview with Julie!!! If looks could kill that dumb bitch would be laying out there dead on the floor!!

I am so glad Jen is gone and I hope it is for good and they don't let her back in for some reason. I do feel sorry for Parker though.

So what if Chelsia told Amanda that she had put a noose around her own neck? It's a common expression that was probably made without any thought whatsoever about her dad having hanged himself. It was JoshuAH who put the point on about her dad, so if anybody is mad about that, it should be directed at JoshuAH and him alone.

this is worst bb of them all..it's like real world on mtv..where's the diversification of people..the ratings bear me out..who ever is responsible for putting these people together should be fired..

Hey whoever blogged me back... You are so totally right!!! I never thougth about it that way! Here, I'm thinking what an idiot Jen is by saying that.. But your right by saying Jen must say that or just in case they bring her back... what if!!! that would so be so great!!Love you HD

Our new co-HOH, James is on Perez Hilton for his antics!

hey Elizabeth, we don't all have the privilege of watching this live, so speak for yourself when you say "don't bother with the blogs" - it's the only recap some of us get. Thanks.
