Slop And Nominations

I would say it was a lazy day for the hamsters in the house today but then I would be lying to you. They were woken up at 8:30 this morning for their very first food competition and, as in typical Big Brother fashion, waited forever to actually compete in it. Unfortunately for us, Big Brother still hasn't changed their mind about letting us watch the competition on the feeds. I really wish they would let us watch just one. Even bits of one would make me happy. They were always so much fun to watch.

Regardless, after about two hours the feeds came back on and we eventually learned that Adam/Sheila, Alex/Amanda, and Matt/Natalie were the couples on slop this week. Alex was the crankiest about his situation and I can't say that I blame him. He could have it much worse though and not be allowed to add anything to his slop to make it taste better. That's always been frustrating for me that they've been allowed to add "stuff" to their slop. Call me a sadist but I would rather them be made to eat the slop prepared "as is". Hell, let them go back to eating just PB&J and I'd be even happier.

Nominations were also held today. If you had been watching the feeds last night and this morning, the couples nominated for eviction didn't come as any huge surprise. Matt/Natalie and Alex/Amanda are the ones up on the block. Alex has been doing fine with it and realizes it's part of the game. Matt's been doing better about the situation since Natalie told him earlier this afternoon that they're just pawns and James/Chelsia along with many in the rest of the house want Alex/Amanda voted out. She told him to not act negative about things and pull a "Parker" because his attitude is what got him evicted.

I don't like Amanda very much and I happen to like Alex. Natalie gets on my nerves (I can't stand her voice) and I don't like Matt much better. I actually hope that Alex/Amanda stick around for another week. I appreciate that Alex realizes this is all just a game and isn't taking anything so personally. Of course, we know things can change really quickly in the house depending on the outcome of the Power of Veto competition. So neither of these couples are gone by any stretch of the imagination.

In other news, Ryan and Adam were told about the lesbian lie last night. It wasn't Allison or Sheila that told them about it though, it was James. They didn't seem too upset about it. They definitely weren't as upset as Josh was when Sheila and Allison told him it was a lie.

Watching them eat out of bowls has been funny as has listening to them bitch about not having cold water or a washing machine. Chelsia and James, especially James, getting wasted last night and passing out wound up frustrating the others because they were told this morning that they won't get any more alcohol for a few days. Speaking of Chelsia and James, they had some mini drunken make-out sessions last night in the HOH room. Is it just me or do they make a cute couple?

What are your thoughts on the events since the show last night? And who would you rather have go home: Alex/Amanda or Matt/Natalie?

I think Chelsia and James are very cute together. Chelsia is my fave HG. I wonder if her feelings towards him would change if she saw the video circulating the net with James. Let's just say that it is of 2 guys, and the other guy is 'The Natalie' and James is 'The Matt' in the act that's going on!

Good riddance to the lesbian alliance. Was nice to see Allison do more then sit off in the corner with Sheila. I know she has done more than that but she seems looser and not as up tight but of course I am only basing this off last nights After Dark.

Found it funny that Natalie's massage put out James and was hard not to laugh with some innuedo applied to comments from Nat about being a rocker and really wanting to head bang. Which you can definitely do to Andrew WK since his music is so upbeat. I have a friend, even after all these years since he lost what relevance he seemed to have on the music landscape, who still uses his debut to aerobicise to.

Romance, whatever. Nothing really to em for me and will leave it right there rather than repeat my thoughts on these things. Kind of funny though the promo for Sunday is pushing the blossoming romance of Matt and Nat rather than the new H.O.H. couple.

As far as going home it is really a toss up. Alex and nat seem on more of an even keel with both sides of the house. So going to be sad for either couple to really leave in house terms. Matt though I think is more dangerous then the house may think. So I am kind of leaning towards Matt and Nat. We'll see as the week goes. Just have to say happy James woke up since Operation Condor seemed very big in trying to backdoor someone.

Could still easily in the end turn into a backdoor. I can easily see any of the other couples making some mistake that hurts someones feelings a bit to much or accidently play into some sort of paranoia. Should hopefully still be an interesting week, I think.

I don't want either couple to go home. I like Natalie a lot better than Matt, and Amanda much better than Alex, but the truth is, I like both couples more than everybody else left. I hope one of them win POV.

Posted by: sandic at February 21, 2008 10:07 PM

I totally agree with you HD! I actually like Alex and hope deep down that he will be able to stay! BTW does anyone know why Matt is allowed milk (while he is on slop) and no one else is? I also think we will see some interesting things this week since its the first slop week of the season!

Posted by: Scrappinfool33 at February 21, 2008 10:19 PM

I hope that they both stay and either Sheila or Allison go home!!!

I think Matt is hilarious and Nat is annoying. I still do not like Ryan, I thought it was funny when he looked freaked out when Allison was talking about Jen & Parker in the sequester house, together alone and unsupervised. She is really trying to make him feel insecure about Jen. I feel sorry for her, she really believes that Ryan is her soulmate and that she is the best woman for him.

I believed that James & Chelsia were the underdog in this game and I was cheering for them to make it into the end. Yes they are a cute couple and I was a fan of his until he started using the N-word.

Adam just is creepy to me. I just can't put my finger on it, but there is something weird about him. He reminds me of the creepy uncle that calls you over to sit on his lap.

since this is just a game... i'm gonna go ahead and say i want alex and amanda out this week. i like alex...he's a smart player but amanda...eesh! so because they (him) are good players they have to go. matt and natalie are next. these two are both poor excuses for humans... i only pray they aren't really like this outside the house but i have a good feeling they are. somewhere, somehow, someone told matt that he "is all that" and now he thinks it will get him through this game. natalie thinks muli-tasking with her mouth is gonna get her through as well. it will all catch up with her, no doubt. if these two had come together, so to speak, earlier maybe they could be a stronger team but for now they are just two dirty humans running a muck through the house.
ultimately, i want chelsea and james to win. so far, they have played very well and i like their game. i also like their budding showmance. i figure they also have the best shot at it blooming later...if chelsea can get over the fear of james' exciting life. lets face it, with her potty mouth, tattooed back, ability to party with the best of them attitude,... and as of lasts night confessions about her families criminal background... she isn't far from being just like him!!
they will be huge targets next week but they both are fierce competitors..chelsea is a tiger when it comes to something getting in her way! james gets a buzz off of that alone and it only fuels his fire. i have no real worries about these two...yet. unless the entire house turns on them they will go far.
i have many words to express my feeling about shiela and allison. i feel badly for their partners. they don't deserve such losers...but they have them so they won't get far.
these two woman are so horrible to watch that when i see them huddles together talking i turn the screen on my feeds to another window. i'll leave it at that as far as my opinion.
sharon and josh seem like good players...sharon taking the lead on that because she truly is there to play the game and nothing else. she is smart and athletic. not sure what josh's plan was with the blow up on amanda but it dropped his fan base a bit. i have a big problem with the "c" word and cringe when i hear. the comment about amanda's dad didn't help. both went to far. that fight will be the end of these two down the road. sorry sharon.
all in all i have been missing dick this season. i couldn't stand him last year but i have to tell you he really kept me on the feeds and pumped up. so far no one in this house makes me skip a chore or appointment for fear i will miss something. kinda bottom of the barrel cast this season if you ask me.

I guess I am the odd one out but I do not like Chelsia and James, they (he) grosses me out. I do not believe any of his stories about all of his "jobs" he has had in the past 3 years and was glad to see Amanda trying to call him out on that. Their gross make out session was just that. And Chelsia makes those weird mouth movements all the time. Anyway...
I do like Alex and Amanda I hope that they stay!
Did anyone else hear Nat talking about what she has done with Mattie under the covers? Very funny!
I agree with the post about creepy Adam and would like to see him and Sheila gone.
I would also like to see Alison and Ryan gone as Ryan does nothing and Alison annoys me to no end.
I am still trying to find a couple I like but am having a really hard time.
I hope that they do let them play individually soon, then the game can begin!
Thanks HD for letting me go on and on.

Ok, so I was just surfing other sites for BB9 info and came across a pretty startling series of pictures. Apparently James is in or has been in the gay porn industry. The video shows him getting a bj from another guy and it is clearly him. Has anybody else seen this or remarked on it...obviously CBS didn't know about this since I doubt they would want a gay porn actor on the show. If I was Chelsia...I would be a little worried if it goes any further between them.

Can you do any research HamsterDame and see what you can find out on this?

From HD - Yeah, that video and other pics are floating around out there and have been brought up here in the comments on several posts. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say he was a true gay porn actor though....LOL. But that's just me.

Posted by: TigerFan at February 22, 2008 07:38 AM

I really want to see Amanda gone but Alex doesn't deserve it. Can't stand Matt or his ho. BUT... that being said, I still would like to see A&A get the boot. Amanda is terrible. I swear this girl doesn't have a life. She ceratinly has no concept of how to play this game, nor what reality is. And this noose thing is wearing old! Who hasn't said, 'you hung yourself' or 'you shot yourself'? I suppose if her dad was run over by a bus, 'thrown under the bus' would be offensive also! I do agree though that Josh pushed the envelope with his, 'like you dad' comment. But come on, get off this already! (I think that Chelsia & James should have tried to backdoor them though. They could stay with POV)
Sorry Alex, you got the shaft! But personally I think that once they get down to a certain number of couples, someone/someones, is going to be able to vote on which person from evicted couples gets to return. (Maybe America) Just my opinion! Lets all pray no one is stupid enough to bring back Jen!
I don't really have a favorite, maybe Sharon. She is the only one playing this game so far, but maybe she is playing it too much and too hard. We'll see.
Slop should be slop, as is, end of story! Booze should certaily be put on hold for awhile. With it, these people don't know what they doing. It's just a frat. party! Keeping it away for awhile should help us sort out if it is the booze, or are they all just dense!!

Posted by: diff at February 22, 2008 07:49 AM

lol oh my that cracked me up. Thanks for the laugh. If I got a BJ by a guy while being filmed and paid then put on a dvd and sold to people. I think that would make me a true gay porn actor. but ewww (not that theres anything wrong with that)

From HD - Oh, you know what I meant! Professional versus amateur. LMAO!!!!

Posted by: shawn at February 22, 2008 08:01 AM

Does anybody else think there is something odd about the Shelia/Adam match up. First she carries on like a raving lunatic about how disgusting he is. Then the next night at the challenge she is rubbing her boobs all over his head and hugging him. YUCK. I think these two are a twist to be revealed later.

Posted by: Shar_on at February 22, 2008 09:02 AM

I thought James was a gross-looking guy before I even knew about the gay porn videos. Those tats of his are just weird. I have not seen this for myself, but some on some blog there was a claim that he not only gets BJs on some of his vids, but gives them as well. At this point, I really have to feel sorry for poor Chelsia's parents.

So we're having two season's of Big Brother this year .Robin was on Housecalls today and said she is starting the casting for the summer season on monday cool. I hope they can come with a better theme for the summer edition. I am starting to warm up to this season abit but still like it better when they play as singles. Thanks for all the news from the hamsters your doing an awesome job as usual

Posted by: Trish at February 22, 2008 10:46 AM

I am going against popular consensus here, but I really like Amanda. She is gutsy to stand up to that loser, Chelsea and her puppy dog, James. I don't like Natalie running around acting like a porn star, BUT having said that, these two girls are cute teamed up and behaving like amateur sleuths. They are funny and make better allies than enemies (gossips, both), Also they stand up to their mates when called for. They need to beware of Sheila the dog though. One word of advice to the two girls, ...don't fall into that trap of getting your orders from the bible, we all saw how that turned out last season..lol Alex and Mattie are acting more like scared , panicky girls than they do...just reading between the lines a little

Posted by: Jan at February 22, 2008 11:30 AM

oh and BTW, I hope Allison and Ryan get backdoored. She is just plain mean...sorry Ryan...you have to go down with the ship..sniff sniff

Posted by: Jan at February 22, 2008 11:32 AM

I would like to see Matt & Natalie go home... I like Alex & Amanda. Even though at times Amanda is sooooooooooo anoying, but Alex is a cutie & he shouldn't have to suffer because of her.

Posted by: spitfire at February 22, 2008 01:03 PM

I guess I am out of the general consensus.

I like amanda & alex....for amanda, not alex. He has an aura of geekdom that turns me away. Amanda's shorts, however, will keep me sifting through you tube looking for clips of....and natalie, "WELL HELLO YOU SEXY HO". Lol, it will be a decent season, but I put my money on no further "couple" themes, at least not with some major overhauling.

This season just doesn't make me want to schedule my life around it, like a Dr. Will season...except for amanda's taught....

Sorry HD, I shall digress. Go...uh...uh...maybe I'll have a fave next week!

Posted by: claypo at February 22, 2008 02:25 PM

After going to the BB9 wikipedia page and looking up the info on James, I really feel sorry for Chelsia. BB set her up with a soulmate that has undesirable pictures of himself with other men. What will she do when she finds out?

Posted by: Kam at February 22, 2008 05:08 PM

Who cares about James and his porno career; it's links to Matt's porno career i wanna see. Haha.
