It was a dark and stormy night in the Big Brother 9 house. All of a sudden the maid screamed! A shot rang out! Er, maybe that was vice versa.

Or, maybe that's not what happened at all.

But if you want to know what's been happening in the house before it airs on television, then the live feeds reports are for you. The nominations are in, Power of Veto has been played, and there's been more drama than one mama can stand.

Spoiler zone beyond the jump.

Now, if you read my last report you know that Alex/Amanda and Matt/Natalie are nominated for eviction, Joshuah and Sharon won the Power of Veto, and both Amanda and Allison were rushed to the hospital last night.

Allison had gone into the Diary Room to seek help for a severe allergic reaction and was awaiting paramedics. As that was happening, Amanda started to have a convulsion and then passed out. Her problem seems to stem from an issue with hypoglycemia and not eating because she's on BB slop (as are Alex, Sheila, and Adam) and doesn't like it.

Allison went into the hospital first and returned home last as they wanted to observe her for a while. She's unaware of any allergies and will have to have tests to see what triggered the reaction which seemed just shy of anaphylactic shock -- her throat was all swollen, her face was swollen, and she had hives. She was called into the Diary Room first thing this morning to see the doctor.

Natalie was also quite sick with a horrible headache. Of course, the headache could have come from being in the house and hearing Sheila scream at Allison and others for hours on end. Natalie didn't go to the hospital and sleeping seemed to cure her ills.

House crumbs:

• I think the houseguests are addicted to checking their weight now that they have that scale.
• They used bowls in lieu of the cups which they gave up in the HOH comp the other night.
• Alex worked on Joshuah trying to convince him how strong Matt is in the game.
• Joshuah and Sharon don't intend to use the veto, but won't be telling either of the nominated couples.
• The original plan was to evict Alex and Amanda.
• The new EPIC and RUTHLESS plan is to make them think Amanda and Alex are still the target, but to evict Matt and Natalie.
• Sheila is a nutcase, alienating everyone in the house. She's also an addict of Tylenol PM.
• Allison was given an epipen and told others how to use it on her in case of another allergy attack.
• Sheila doesn't want the veto used because she knows that she and Adam would go on the block. (And she might even realize that she's alienated everyone in the house and would be sure to go home.)
• Yesterday Sheila wanted to go home.
• They got their hot water back.
• James and Chelsia know that Joshuah and Chelsia won't use the veto. It's all part of the EPIC and RUTHLESS plan, y'see.
• One reason, other than Matt tries to run everything, they're targeted is because they didn't vote with the house last week.

After last night's huge excitement, today's been quiet. Heck, Sheila isn't even yelling at anyone
