Big Brother 9: 4/1 Recap: How Many Lives?

Posted by HamsterDame

One life? Two lives? Three lives? How many lives are we up to now? There's no doubt in any live-feeder's mind that James really wants to stay in the game but it was made abundantly clear in tonight's show to the show-watchers. Pink-haired Jimmy wants to stick around a little bit longer.

I really loved the Big Brother Boardwalk Power of Veto competition this week. I know, you're going to say how I usually love the physical competitions over the mental ones but these "guess how much" competitions I absolutely adore. In a way I wish Big Brother would do them more often but then again I don't because if they did then they wouldn't be as special. Now I'm not just saying that because James won the POV -- I really do truly love these kinds of competitions. How much liquid could last year's teacup hold?

James had a great strategy going into the competition. He decided to let everybody take each other out and try to stick around for the end. It worked brilliantly for him. It was so much fun watching the others bite their nails and bristle over the results each round. Fold or stay? Fold. Fold. Fold. Stay. Stay. STAY. Ah, it was such fun to watch. The POV competition was made even better knowing that Ryan really could have won it. If only he had more confidence in his numbers. If only.

Besides getting all emotional after the POV competition and dancing around, they really showed James getting quite emotional didn't they? He bawled like a baby about having nobody to talk to. Then when he did talk to somebody, she turned around and said the same thing to Josh. The "she" I'm referring to is the Big She. When he overheard her pumping up the other side of the house, he decided to get out of his bed and have a talk with her. I was kind of shocked that Big Brother decided to show that since they've been going so easy on showing the blowups lately. They didn't hold back though. They showed James absolutely going off on Sheila. Dude, don't you know you can't show any weakness in the house? And definitely don't trust the She-devil. That bitch will stab you in the back quicker than you can say the word "Chelsia".

James wasn't the only one that cried to Mommy tonight though. Josh had his moments as well. He realized the writing might be on the wall when little Jimmy won the POV and he'd be up against his former partner Sharon. When Josh and Sharon and Sheila were all bawling in the kitchen, I can't believe I'm going to admit this, I cried too. I don't know why. I saw video of this on the feeds. I knew it happened. But it made me cry tonight. I'm such a big baby. It was entertaining though -- I mean them bawling and not me. I began laughing though when Big Brother interlaced Sheila consoling Sharon with Josh campaigning to Natalie. BB did a great job with that little piece! It was absolutely perfect.

Of course, James used the Power of Veto on himself which forced Natalie to replace him with somebody else. Thankfully, Big Brother didn't create any super-suspense with this by making the viewing audience think somebody else would be going up in James' place. It was very clear it would be Sharon going up on the block. Josh's POV speech was interesting in that he said he didn't deserve to be saved by James with his POV this week. As if! James' POV speech came off a little cocky but I can't say that I blame him. This was his third time to win the POV and take himself off the block and if you were in his position, you'd probably be a little pumped too.

What did you think about the show tonight? How did you like the Power of Veto competition? Tomorrow, we'll find out in another live show who will be evicted. Will it be Sharon or Josh? Only time will tell. We'll also find out who the next HOH will be. Could you imagine the craziness that would happen if James won it? Tune in Wednesday, 4/2, at 8:00 PM ET and follow along here at Silly Hamsters where I'll be live-blogging the show.
