The Veto Challenge
Remember that this is the challenge that Sheila said she will win to save herself. Anyone want to place bets on that before we begin?The backyard is set-up with an Aztec/Mayan motif complete with a large faux stone idol. It would be awesome if Natalie refused to play, as it would be breaking a commandment to worship a false idol but alas she doesn’t. The idol will give the hamsters an event that took place in the house, and they have to find the appropriate numbered stones in the sandbox to indicate the correct date of the event. The House Guest whose guess was furthest from the answer will be eliminated, except in the event that two players are equally wrong in which case the one who was last to reach their place will be eliminated. As always the last player standing will win the POV.
Natalie is convinced of her own awesomeness, since this is a custom built comp for her since her mad number skills are unrivaled in the house. And it seems like only a few weeks ago she couldn’t correctly count to four.
- What day was Chelsia eliminated? The correct answer is day 49 and with that Natalie is out. She really backed up her hubris, huh?
- What day did Amanda fall ill? The correct answer is day 16 and with that Sheila is out. So much for her hidden challenge skills.
- What day did the couples split? It was day 28 and with that James Is out. Adam remembers that fondly as the day he was cut loose from the old lady, his ball and chain. His emancipation wasn’t very successful since he’s still carrying her.
- What day did they see Evel Dick? It’s day 44 and Sharon’s out.
- What was the day of the mystery box? It was day 35 and with that Ryan wins.
Sheila is so happy Ryan won, bypassing the uncomfortable truth that if he saves her it will be because Adam let him.
The Veto Meeting
Sheila speaks first and congratulates Ryan on the bogus win he copped off Adam (again) and says that she wants him to use the veto on her so she can have a chance to prove she can play a stronger game. Although if she had the capacity to play a stronger game she wouldn’t need Ryan’s mercy to save her.Logic Sheila. Embrace it, it can be your friend.
Sharon trots out her usual speech about how she’s cool with whatever he decides to do. Ryan says he needs to use the veto to benefit himself by protecting one of his allies and saves Sheila. Adam’s replacement nominee is James, of course, and he says that although they’re friends it’s all about game play at this point.
James Out-Heather’s Natalie
James starts working the other hamsters, planting seeds of worry about how Natalie is the strongest player left in the game. He also makes a good point about how Natalie has never been on the block as a solo player.Not content with actual gaming, James gets bored and starts to pick on Natalie. He asks her why she stopped working out to concentrate on tanning after Matt left. She becomes extremely defensive but he assures the rest of the laughing hamsters that his intention wasn’t to mock her, but she’s getting big. No she isn’t, unless you mean her ego which if it becomes any more ginormous they will have to get a bigger BB house.
She is highly upset and accuses James of asking just like Chelsia, and then in a show of arrogance that was spectacular in it’s scope she demands that the other House Guests stop laughing and feeding into him. The are not allowed to egg him on from this date forward. Are all bikini barristas/strippers so draconian?
She tells them that she will remember who encouraged James mocking of her if she wins HOH, and she’ll get them back. By that logic, when I’m president of the United States I’m going to fill my cabinet positions with puppies.
James, meanwhile, is in the backyard calling the fact that Natalie is inside issuing decrees about not feeding into him. Not to be deterred, James keeps taunting her which causes Natalie to explode at…Adam? She tells Adam that his ass is grass next week if he continues to encourage James and then orders Adam to put James in his place.
Wow - I bet Stalin was less bossy?
Finally Natalie is getting the broadcast edit that more accurately reflects how she is on the feeds. Maybe those who only watch the CBS show will understand the raging internet hatred for her a little bit better.
