(S09E31) Adam is safe and Natalie is on the block. She's been playing everyone against each other and now she's paying for it. Of course, in typical Natalie style, she's acting like a psycho, calling people out, and quoting Bible verse. Bottom line: This week the boys are in power. If Ryan and Adam wanted to be really devious, they should just split the vote and make Sheila decide.

Find out if Natalie is safe and what the boys decided to do after the jump.

A lot happened in the Post-Veto section of the show. I might even need subtitles.

Initial Reactions

Sharon said that Natalie has no idea how badly her alliance wants her out. She also mentioned that being on the block against Natalie is be fun. After the nomination, Natalie started her pleading with the boys. "I want to stick to the plan. Final Three," she said. She whined while the two guys laid on their beds and pondered the situation. Later on she fake-threatened them. Natalie widened her big goofy eyes and warned, "You boys better kept me!"

The House Meeting

After getting all dolled up, Ryan and Adam decided to call a house meeting to air out all the dirty laundry. Sheila didn't like the idea at all and said she was "freaked out." Natalie refused to sit at the dining room table because she was dyeing her hair. So, Ryan, Adam, Sheila, Sharon and the Bible all went into the bathroom to exorcise the demons. Ryan said to Natalie: "This would be good for you. You could defend yourself."

Rye Bread then stated the accusation: Natalie has told both Ryan / Adam and Sheila / Sharon that she's going to the final three with them. He also asked who Natalie would pout up next week if she got HOH.

Backed into a corner and not smart enough to talk her way around it with everyone right there, Natalie had to choose. She vowed, "My true loyalty does stand with the two boys." Natalie swore that she's always been true to the boys. She wouldn't vote Ryan or Adam out. And if she got HOH next week, she would put up Sheila and Sharon.

"I still can't believe that these frigin' clowns did this," she yelled in her confessional. Sheila worried her plan to backdoor Natalie was disintegrating right before her eyes.

The Waterworks

Even after the house meeting, the boys still worried about Natalie playing all the sides of the house. So, they confront Natalie alone, who is STILL dyeing her hair in the bathroom. "I might have lied to them. But I have never lied to you guys ... If I have to lie to help you two, then I will, to them," she explained.

Then Natalie did the best thing she could've: turned on the waterworks. Hey, it saved James from getting nominated a week ago. Crying never hurts when Adam is involved. The music they played in the background was awesome, like the instrumental part of an 80s power ballad.

Still More Drama

After all the house meeting, Natalie lashed out against Sharon. Here's what I find amusing though. She told the boys in the bathroom that she did talk about them, but only to protect them. Then she told Sharon in the kitchen that she never said anything bad about Ryan and Adam. Huh? Sharon defended herself by saying that she only reports what she hears. Natalie retaliated by calling her a liar.

The boys later went up to the HOH room and spoke to Sheila about their decisions. Of course she was upset about the boys reconsidering their votes and deviating from the plan. When Adam said "toss her out next week," Sheila responded that Natalie is the "bigger fish" and she needed to be dealt now. I think at that point Sheila was probably thinking that she should've put Ryan on the block next to Sharon. The conversation escalated so much that Adam was yelling at Sheila and called her a bitch. Sheila then demanded that Adam and Ryan get the hell out of her room.


Chelsia said that she definitely has feelings for James and misses him (still hasn't seen those compromising pictures on the internet, huh?). But she doesn't want James to come to the Jury House because then she would have to vote for someone she didn't like to win a half-million dollars. Right before James came in, Josh had a premonition that one of his alliance would walk through the door. Matt seemed happy to see James though. "Payback's a bitch," he laughed in his confessional.

While the jury watched the video, James pointed out that Adam gave him a chance to play for the veto. I know it didn't seem like a good move last week but I think that Adam made some friends in the jury house with his compassionate moves. I think Josh and Chelsia may have been impressed with Adam not putting James on the block.

After James showed the video, he said that it makes a difference if you leave the house on a good note. Then he did something extremely entertaining. After he complimented both Matt and Josh, James called out Chelsia for her immature remarks upon leaving the BB house. He even said that he was evicted because of Chelsia's behavior. James called himself the "residue of Chelsia." Chelsia looked shocked and started crying. She ran to her room but James followed. He acted like he hadn't said anything remotely upsetting and then tickled her. We left them kissing and laughing. Okay, whatever floats your boat, Chelsia. I can't help you.


As usual the speeches came first. Sharon said that if it was her time to leave, then it was her time. She thanked everyone for the experience. Natalie fought back tears and reassured her boys of her loyalty. She begged them to keep her.

Ryan voted to evict Natalie.
Adam voted to evict Sharon.

OMG! A tie. Oh, how amazing the hamsters are sometimes. Every once in a while, they really make watching this damn show three times a week worth it, don't they? Sheila had to break the tie; she voted to evict Natalie. She held it together pretty well and didn't look too shocked about the tie. Sheila told a crying Natalie that since she told everyone that her loyalties lied with Ryan and Adam, she had to evict her. After Natalie left, Sheila said that she wasn't happy about having to break the tie but at least Natalie was gone. She hugged the guys but looked pretty miffed at them.

Natalie cried all the way out the door and all the way to the bench next to the Chenster. "I'm very upset because they both told me that they were going to vote to keep me," she whimpered when Julie asked how she felt. Natalie added that she only played both sides to protect her boys. She seemed genuinely hurt that both guys didn't vote to keep her.

Natalie continued to weep while she watched her good-bye videos. Sheila said that she really cared for Natalie and they had some good times and bad ones. Sharon said, "Oh my God, I don't even know where to begin, Natalie." Ryan said he wanted to keep her. Adam said he was sorry but if it came down to final two he didn't think that Natalie would choose to keep him over Ryan.


The hamsters were asked questions about their fellow houseguests past and present and the Big Brother house. They must decide whether the statements are fact or fiction. The hamster with the most points after seven questions is the new HOH.

1. When America voted on which houseguest would be in the mystery box, Allison received the fewest votes.

Fiction: Jacob received the fewest votes.
Ryan and Sharon both got it right.

2. The toy in the guinea pig habitat still holds a valuable Big Brother house secret.

Fiction: Just a toy.
No one got it right.

3. Chelsia was escorted out of the Jury House by security.

Fiction: Chelsia is still there.
Sharon got it right.

4. The number eight has a secret meaning in the BB game.

Fiction: No meaning.
Ryan and Sharon got it right.

5. Amanda faked an illness including faitning to win over her housemates.

Fiction: Her illness was real.
Everyone got it right.

6. James and Chelsia have stopped speaking to each other at the Jury House.

Fiction: Still speaking.
Everyone got it right.

7. Everyone knows Jacob/Sharon and Ryan/Jen were pre-existing relationships in the BB house. But there is a third relationship still there.

Fact: The guinea pigs are still there. (This one was crap if you ask me.)
Ryan got it right. Ryan and Sharon are now tied.

The tiebreaker: In the HOH competition Glass Houses, how many total combined minutes ddi all the houseguests stay int heir boxes? Round it to the nearest minute.

Ryan said 310. Sharon said 184. The correct answer was 557 minutes. Ryan is the new HOH. That guinea pig question was dumb. Sharon should be the new HOH, in my humble opinion.
