(S09E07) Alex is pissed and rightfully so. He hasn't done a single thing that would cause the other house guests to put him up for eviction, but due to the fact that he's tied to Amanda, he finds himself up for eviction.

How fair is that? Not remotely fair if you ask me, and this is coming from a guy who thinks Alex is a bigger toolbag than you could find at your local Sears and Roebuck.

For the first time I'm starting to thing this whole "soulmates" thing is incredibly unfair. I kind of felt this way in the beginning when Sharon got the boot thanks to her idiot ex-beau Jacob, but I feel much stronger about it this week.

I'm pretty sure Big Brother is going to split these couples up here pretty soon and make this an every man for himself kind of a game like seasons past. For one, there's just no way this season is going to last for a full three months if we're getting rid of two people on a weekly basis.

Secondly, it's just too unfair to have one of the house guests get booted from the house on account of their partner being a complete and utter jackass.

Mark my words, things are going to change in the Big Brother house very soon. I guarantee it.

To begin with, there was a huge blowup between the lesbian alliance this week. Sheila and Allison had an all out fight as if they really were a couple having a tiff. We'll get into that more in a little bit.

The second Power of Veto Competition - Jericho

Hmmm, I wonder if al the Jericho references on the barrels and peanuts littering this PoV competition were some sort of tie-in to CBS's show Jericho and the insane fans who sent the tons of peanuts to CBS? Could it be? No, that would be shameless...



The contenders:

James and Chelsia
Alex and Amanda
Matt and Natalie
Sharon and Joshuah
Host: Adam

The premise for the PoV was simple. The couple that could reestablish communication with the outside world by properly connecting a series of utility poles via power cables would win the power of veto competition.

All the wires were a different length which essentially made the PoV competition a Survivor like puzzle challenge where there was only one solution to the problem. In short, the team that put some thought into the problem as opposed to just arbitrarily affixing cables to the poles was going to win.

Long story short, Joshuah and Sharon appeared to have put the most thought into the way they approached the challenge followed closely by Amanda and Alex.

Of course, Joshuah and Sharon were a little quicker to the punch and won PoV.

Immediately after the challenge, we quickly determined if the house had reestablished communication with the outside world. They did and the first thing the house learned was that John McCain remained the front runner in the Republican race which promptly caused Amanda to scream in celebration. Like she knows who John McCain is...

We also learned some info about Obama, Britney Spears, and the Hudson River Virus--the latter of which got deputy dumbass back on the case of the mysterious guinea pig jungle gym inside the house.

You know the one I'm talking about.



How James made some sort of connection between a fictional virus and the jungle gym is absolutely beyond me, but he's sure this connection is going to lead him to another "clue" inside the house.

Have I ever mentioned that James is an idiot.

So back to Allison and Sheila for a moment. I'm not privy to what's been going down on the live-feeds, but there has to be more to this story. I can't quite figure out why Sheila is suddenly calling Allison a bitch to everyone in the house.

Without fail, Sharon immediately went into the HoH room and let James, Chelsia, Ryan, Joshuah, and Allison know that Sheila was out of her friggin' mind and was spitting venom about Allison to everyone she could get to listen to her. This immediately caused Allison to go confront Sheila.

Let the fireworks erupt.

Basically, Sheila thinks that Allison owes Sheila and Adam because they took her off the "f*cking block". Sheila seems to think that Allison has been talking down to her ever since she got off the block because Allison has "a formal education" which seems to be coming out of the blue to me as far as arguments go. What does Allison's education have to do with anything? Did I miss something? I'm so confused.

What a ridiculous turn of events. Just when you think things are going one direction they take a violent turn in another. I was sure Alex and Amanda were goners, but the sudden turn against Sheila (for good reason I might add) just might have sealed Sheila and Adams fate.

I always knew Sheila was unstable. I've been ready for her to leave since day one. I really hope the house gets rid of her.

The Two Medical Emergencies

What in the holy hell? Is this an unprecedented event? Has anyone ever been evacuated from the house before? We didn't have one medical emergency tonight--we had two, and I don't know what to make of it.

Although we didn't get to see her, Allison's face blew up due to some sort of allergic reaction. Amanda fainted and all but had a seizure when she woke up.



The Big Brother nurse, whom I didn't know existed, popped out of nowhere and administered a bottle of what looked like Vitamin Water to a hysterical Amanda.

I don't know if I should be thinking up ways to make fun of this situation or if I should be genuinely concerned. I guess I'll just hold my tongue for once and assume the situation was legit.

Turns out, Amanda fainted on account of her being on a diet consisting solely of slop, and Allison blew up for reasons that were not disclosed (probably an allergic reaction to something she consumed).

Ultimately, Amanda made her way back into the house (and seems to have received temporary reprieve from the all slop diet), and Allison came back fully proportioned and reaction free.



Next, Alison, Amanda, and Sheila said a short prayer, had a group hug, started a campfire in the courtyard, and sang "Kum Ba Yah" while roasting marshmallows over the open flame.

Yuck. I seriously can't wait until these people start sticking machetes in each other's backs again...Everything will be back to normal by tomorrow. My second guarantee of the night.

Power of Veto Meeting

Joshuah and Sharon didn't end up using the PoV. Typical.

Kristin is back on BB duty tomorrow. If you can't tell, we're sharing the responsibility this season. See you all on Sunday.
