You know what sucked about this show? The fact that it would have been even better if we had been able to watch the live feeds of the first part of the HOH competition. I know some of you may be getting tired of myself and others continuing to carry on about it but I can't help it. That's all I could think about during the "live" show tonight.

The show began with Julie welcoming us just as she normally would for any other live show -- except that it wasn't live. We picked up after Ryan's nomination of Sheila and Sharon. Sharon just laughed about being nominated in the diary room while Sheila went off to sulk and cry in her bed. Sharon joined her and told her that if she were to win POV that she would pull her off the block. She didn't do a good job of lying but Sheila played along by saying that it was them girls against the guys at this point.

Of course, we then saw Sharon telling Ryan that they have to get Adam out followed by Adam and Sheila telling each other that they have the other one's back. This was all after Ryan telling Adam that he wants Sheila out next and Adam promised he'd send her packing. Sharon never did let up on Ryan though and we were shown several times this evening during the show that she was seriously pushing hard for Ryan to send Adam packing if Ryan won the POV this week. This is part of what I enjoy about the shows at the end of each season. There is so much more time for production to show us more of the game talk going on in the house.

The Power of Veto competition was an interesting one and it was actually hard for me to stop laughing throughout the thing. A section of the backyard was quartered up so that Ryan, Adam, Sheila, and Sharon couldn't see what the others were doing. Each of them had five horses with headless jockeys riding them on a wall and they had to put the face of the Big Brother jury member on the jockey's body as well as hanging up two clues that pertained to that juror. They could only work on one racehorse at a time and must work in the order that the jury members were evicted. I found it hilarious that they had to keep jumping over this wall made up of bales of hay between the clues and the wall with the jockeys and racehorses on them. Of course, the funniest was what the jockeys looked like with Matt, Chelsia, Josh, James, and Natalie's faces on them. Hilarious!

I'm not sure if it was the editing or if it was real but it seemed like Adam wasn't doing that bad of a job in the competition. Regardless, Ryan wound up winning and told us all in the diary room that he now controls everybody's fate in the house at this point and that they have to kiss his butt. He's playing his self-proclaimed power whore role quite nicely if I do say so myself.

Since Ryan won the POV it was time for more strategy talk in the house. Ryan told Adam that he trusted him and Adam promised to get rid of Sheila if that's what he wanted him to do. Adam told Sharon that he knew she'd keep Ryan around if she won the final HOH and boldly offered to keep her this week if she'd promise to take him to the final two. Sharon refused the handshake on that. Sharon ran and told Ryan what had happened and then Ryan confronted Adam about it a little bit later. Sheila told Adam that she has his back in the game and needs the money.

When Julie checked in with the houseguests in the living room before the Power of Veto ceremony, she asked Ryan if he was worried about holding all of this power for so long. Ryan, in his humble nature, said absolutely not and that it was good for him. Julie told Sharon that she was the first houseguest in Big Brother history to be nominated five times in a row and Sharon said she'd been able to evade eviction so many times thanks to the faither of her fellow houseguests and the grace of God. Julie asked Sheila and Adam about their being shackled together and they gave her their typical 'I hate him, I like messing with her' responses.

The POV meeting and subsequent eviction was fairly straightforward. Ryan told them that the best thing about winning the POV as the HOH is that nobody can change your nominations. He wasn't going to be changing them so it was then Adam's time to evict either Sharon or Sheila. After a boring and predictable speech from Sharon and a sweet speech from Sheila, Adam told Sharon that she was evicted. Sharon didn't really seem too shocked to me. Sheila was the one that was shocked. Sheila began to cry immediately and didn't stop until before the HOH competition. Seriously, Sheila was bawling. She couldn't believe that Adam had kept her over Sharon. I think she'd really come to terms with being evicted and was shocked when it didn't happen.

Sharon's talk with Julie was rather ho-hum up until Julie asked her about Jacob. Sharon actually said that if her and Jacob could make it work she'd like to try. I was kinda shocked but Julie was especially shocked. I wonder what Jacob thought when he watched that tonight. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at that moment. Everybody's goodbye videos were very nice but of course they would be. They were playing to a jury member now.

And finally, we saw the beginning of the HOH competition called "Up A Creek." I'm still bitter about not being able to watch any of this on the feeds but basically, they were on boogie boards with running water underneath on a tilted platform. And then, it began to rain. Now that's a shocker. This was an HOH competition that clearly favored hamsters with upper body strength -- no question about that.

Tomorrow evening, at 8:00 PM ET live (fur-real this time), the final HOH will be crowned and will cast the sole vote in the final eviction of the season thereby choosing who to sit with them in the final two.

So what did you think about the show tonight? My favorite parts of the show was when Sheila and Adam were shackled together. It was cool to hear the diary room voice on the show. That certainly doesn't happen very often!
