I'm upset. Why you ask? Because from the moment I saw the Power of Veto competition on tonight's show I knew we had been cheated. What a great competition that was! Of course, it would have needed a few little tweaks to turn it into a proper endurance challenge but it wouldn't have been that hard.

They could have added some snow (a la season 4 and the dog house final 3 challenge) or some snakes hissing on the ground (a la my own idea). They could have coated the wooden blocks in Vaseline or made them wear four layers of clothing. What would have been so bad about an endurance POV competition? The hamsters definitely wouldn't have been expecting that. I guess we would have had to deal with the whole blacked out on the feeds sort of thing but they could have let the button slip a few times during the competition so that we could have seen something. Just imagine the suspense! Oh well. I know none of my ideas will ever be used so I'm just wasting time coming up with them.

So we saw James win the Power of Veto competition tonight in a setup that was supposed to resemble the guinea pigs' cage. They had to transfer over 500 wooden blocks from one side of three beams to the other and place them in a plastic tube. The first player to transfer all of the blocks or was the last one standing won the POV. James, Ryan, Sheila, Matt, Chelsia, and Josh were the ones participating and all of them understood how important winning the POV would be. Well maybe Matt didn't really realize how important it would be considering he was the first one out practically right after the competition started. Ryan didn't do much better either. After thirty-one minutes into the competition, Sheila dropped a block and was eliminated. It came down to Chelsia, Josh, and James.

Chelsia fell off her beam after 1 hour and 27 minutes. Was I the only one confused as to why James was hootin' and hollerin' at that? It was then down to Joshuah and James. Which one of these powerful men would walk away with the Power of Veto? James would. He finished transferring his blocks, grabbed the POV symbol, and placed it atop his plastic tube filled with letters. He then yelled, "I heart all of you!" I kid, I kid. He received his gold medallion and left Ryan and Sheila quaking in their boots as to what would happen next.

They found out soon enough at the POV ceremony. Thanks to Sharon earlier in the HOH room, James finally found out that Matt was the one that cast the third vote against him coming back into the house last week. He had been thinking about taking somebody down and putting Adam up in their place because he thought Adam had been lying. That all changed rather quickly though! Matt was going to be going up on the block and there were no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Most everybody was stunned when James took Sheila, the 45-year-old-Penthouse-Pet-single-mom who has worked-for-everything-in-her-life and doesn't-want-to-embarrass-her-son off the block. They were even more stunned when Matt went up in her place. Natalie looked as though she was going to faint and I thought for sure she was ready to run at James and stab him in the gut with a pointy nipple. The reason James gave was that he realized when Natalie made the deal with him during that endurance HOH competition that she was still playing as a couple with Matt (ya think?). He wanted to break that up. And with that, this POV ceremony was adjourned.

Matt went off to go cry in the diary room and try to explain his shock at this turn of events. Ryan felt relatively happy because he knew that they really wanted Matt out before him. Sweet little Natalie said that James wasn't a man of God and proclaimed God would avenge her and take Matty off the block. Sheila was shocked she was still in the game. James? I thought he was going to jump up on the sofa in the diary room and begin singing, "Beat It." He was thrilled with the decision he'd made and ecstatic that the meeting went the way it did.

Now did you catch the newest version of "Bible Buddies?" Big Brother even gave us chanting monks this time to start the segment off. Matt was asking Adam about the Arc of the Covenant and Adam told him it included the Ten Commandments. Oh, and it was also in the Indiana Jones movie. They then began discussing the Holy Grail and Adam told him that it was also in Indiana Jones. When Matt suggested they go off to find it after Big Brother was over, Adam explained that it would take more than their winnings to even attempt such a matter. Why, golly gee, it would take at least $30 or $40 million to find it. And then they'd have to buy the tools and the equipment. Priceless!

So besides Sheila whining half the episode, what did you think? Were you happy to finally see how the POV competition went down? And what did you think about the POV ceremony? And could any of y'all spot me $40 million? TIA!

Got a question? Ask Big Brother Here. Your question may be read on the air on CBS's Housecalls!
