Big Brother: Evicted This September 3rd And The New HOH
Posted by Dustin on 09.03.2009 at 8:52 pm
The show began with the usual recap, and a smiley Chen-bot telling us that the game that brought Jordan and Jeff together would tear them apart tonight.
Jeff and Jordan were upset to be up against one another. Michelle decided to try and talk to Natalie about saving Jeff over Jordan.
Natalie told Kevin she wanted Jeff gone, and secretly she loved that she had no blood on her hands. Note to Nat, you have nothing on your hands, cause you’ve done nothing in this house! Natalie said Jeff would be her birthday present to Jessie in the jury house.
Jeff told Jordan not to be sad, but she was angry. He said they got this far though. Jeff wanted to keep Jordan’s spirits up, as if anyone had to win he wanted it to be her. He told her to stick with Michelle and she would have a chance to win. Jordan wanted to know if Jeff would try and give her a goodbye kiss when the one who would leaves is announced.
Jeff tried to talk to Natalie about keeping him and turning against Kevin. She wasn’t sure if she should turn on Kevin though. Meanwhile Kevin spied on them and he began to realize Natalie isn’t as trustworthy as he thought after the Pandora’s Box.
Michelle and Jeff thought they could offer Natalie a sweet deal, they’d throw HOH if she kept Jeff. Jeff offered her the deal, but she didn’t know if Michelle would really throw it. Natalie began to consider it.
We saw an interview with Michelle’s husband about how she was playing the game. We also saw Russell arrive at the jury house (and see Jessie rip his own shirt off when Russell walked in, cause he’s so ridiculously jacked).
The live vote happened finally, with Jeff giving a speech basically telling Natalie she has a chance tonight to keep her word and skate to the end!
Natalie voted first, to vote out Jeff. Michelle voted to keep Jeff. Kevin had to make the deciding vote, and he voted to evict Jeff. Kevin said Jeff’s final speech was a last desperate attempt which failed.
Even with Jeff out the door, Natalie kept talking about how the one thing she has in this game is her word (LOL!).
Julie talked with Jeff about his choices, and his failure to give Jordan a goodbye kiss. Jeff said he got so fired up he forgot!
The next HOH game was played, which was the famous “Fact or Fiction” game about the ex-house guests. The game ended in a three way tie, with a tie breaker. The new HOH is NATALIE.
I think I’m going to throw up 🙁
Tuesday will be the next live episode, with the live veto and final eviction and the beginning of the final three part HOH comp.
Also Pandora’s Box returns to temp Nat, and Julie says this time it will affect the outcome of the game.
Wanted to get a “True Blood” post up on last week’s episode before I forgot. There is no episode this week because of the holiday weekend. The season finale airs September 13th.
I’m going to forgo a huge recap, mainly because not too much happened really. Tara escaped from Sookie and Lafayette, with her mom’s help, to try and rescue Eggs. All she got was re-brainwashed. Lafayette went to find her, and he got brainwashed too. Sookie showed up, and found some bizarre egg in her gran’s bed. Meanwhile Bill went to see the queen on how to kill a maenad, only to be forced to play Yahtzee and Scrabble for hours on end. She eventually told him the only way for one to be killed was for her to open herself up to be sacrificed by the God she’s so desperate to summon.
Tara’s stupidity really irked me. If she doesn’t get it together, she’s not going to be one of my favorite characters anymore!
I did love the Queen, she had some hysterical one liners through the whole episode.
Eric being able to fly was a new revelation. I thought Bill told Sookie last season vampires didn’t do that sort of thing?
The real mystery was revealed at the end, the egg in Gran’s bed. Please tell me Maryann didn’t lay an egg! I also hope this doesn’t mean a spawn of Maryann to deal with next season.
Krisin at E! just posted a scoop about Katherine Heigl being written out of “Grey’s” for several episodes while she goes off to film a movie. Stop reading now if you don’t want spoilers!
Looks like Seattle Grace and Mercy West (their competing hospital) merge and Izzie is laid off!
Add Izzie being off screen to Meredith being gone a lot this season because of the actress’ maternity leave, then throw in no George because he’s dead . . . well it seems a lot of our favorites won’t be on half the season!
The show is said to be bringing in new doctors and nurses to make up for the regulars going missing.
I don’t know, I don’t want more new doctors on the show. I feel like if the show does start going the way of “ER” (replacing old cast members with new ones) that I probably will lose interest just like I did with “ER.”
Is there enough to keep you watching “Grey’s” with a bunch of the originals going MIA this season?
Kevin found a mystery door in his room. It was to open Pandora’s Box, which would release 10K dollars to the house. The catch? He had to stick his hand in this box to do so. Upon doing so, he was trapped! The others saw 1 dollar bills raining down in the backyard and went to collecting. Eventually Kevin got Natalie’s attention and told her she had to find a key to unlock him. She just ignored him and got more money. When he got Jeff’s attention, Jeff found the key, but kept going on to get money! Eventually they unlocked Kevin. Everyone got to keep what money they were able to collect, with Jeff coming out the big winner at about 3K. Kevin came out of the whole thing realizing he couldn’t trust natalie at all.
The Veto comp was then held, which involved them doing a face matching competition. The faces were morphs of two of the guests, turned into an alien, and they had to guess who the two faces. The one who solved all puzzles with the fastest time not only got the veto, but a complete high-def home video system. Of course queen of the veto Michelle won.
Kevin and Natalie reveled in the fact that Jeff would go home this week, but they knew they had to get Michelle out. Natalie swore she’d win next week, but Kevin knew Natalie hasn’t won a damn thing so far.
Jeff and Jordan realized their showmance was over. Michelle later told Jeff she wanted him to stay, she could get Kevin to keep him. Jeff thought he was out of options. Jeff didn’t want to run around campaigning like an idiot. Michelle said all Kevin is concerned about is not going home next week. Jeff said there was no way Kevin would put Natalie up and Jordan would have to go. Michelle said yes and she’d talk to Kevin.
Jordan meanwhile felt she had failed Jeff, she knew he brought her to this point. She said he deserved to be here over her and she wanted him to fight for votes. Jordan felt he had a better shot at winning than she did.
Michelle talked to Kevin and proposed a final three deal with her, him and Jeff. She claimed Natalie would take Jordan to the end over either of them, and Natalie is friends with too many people in the jury house.
In the end, Michelle saved herself and Kevin of course put up Jordan against Jeff, sticking with his weak aliance with Natalie.
Say hello to the block next week Kevin and Natalie, cause Natalie sure ain’t going to win HOH!
Here is hoping Jeff finding the key gives him some special power. There is a rumor going around it will give him the diamond veto, only played once before in “Big Brother.” It gives the holder the ability to replace one person on the block and allow them the sole vote to evict.
First a quick cap of the show, then some thoughts . . .
Roland tried to spend some quality time with Joan, setting up a romantic evening for them. However the oysters he got were apparently off code, and they ended up with food poisoning.
Trevor began working as a recruiter, but wasn’t very good on his first day. Furthermore the guy in charge seemed like a real jerk, yelling at Trevor for failing to sign up every person who walked in the door. In the end, a high school student he tried talking to earlier in the show, who ignored him along with her friends, returned at the end to talk to him.
Claudia Joy was trying to adjust to her new diet and lifestyle, and was a cranky mess, snapping at Emmalynn whenever she tried to help. Michael said she’d be like this until her blood sugars stabilized and she adjusted to the meds. Claudia Joy also tried to keep the truth from everyone, but when she fainted at Denise’s house, and her purse spilled, Denise figured the truth out. Claudia Joy felt ashamed, but Denise said she shouldn’t be.
Frank learned that Denise saved Claudia Joy’s life in the accident, and he was very proud of her. He also didn’t want them falling back into old habbits, thinking she should start working again. Denise was thrilled, and she is looking into becoming a paramedic after helping out in the accident.
Finally Pamela was worried when Chase failed to return home. She saw other members of Delta Force on base, and she became paranoid. Claudia Joy made calls and found out Chase was on base in some top secret fascility. Pamela couldn’t get an answer as to why, she she stalked the place and refused to leave. At the end they gave her clearance and took her into a locked room to see her husband. She was stunned, and by the nurses around, clearly Chase had been hurt or something . . . .
My Thoughts
So my first thoughts on Chase were that he had entered some spy operation and had plastic surgery. However in the previews it showed him in bed, with a very bruised face. Later we saw him apparently home as Pamela was yelling at him along the lines of “What else have you been keeping from me over the years?” Maybe he is a double agent? Maybe he has another wife in another country or something! Who knows . . .
I loved the idea of Denise working as a paramedic, and loved it even more that Frank told her to go back to work!
From the previews it would seem Jeremy’s friend ends up getting killed, and he takes it pretty hard. I guess because of his lack to make the promise? It almost looked like Jeremy was going to take his own life! I really hope the show doesn’t go there!
Finally, this story with Claudia Joy is irking me. I feel like the show put this out there to spread awareness about Type II Diabetes, but it’s coming off unrealistic. I just can’t believe all of the sudden these symptoms all at once are affecting Claudia Joy, like these dizzy spells wouldn’t have been happening before, along with mood swings. I mean given how well she kept her cool with Emmalynn all those weeks, I’d think she would have knocked the kid’s head off!
