Episode Recap: March 26, 2008 (Eviction 7)

If there's one thing Chelsia will go down in Big Brother history for, it's using the word "breastfeed" in her eerily strange pre-vote speech. It wasn't a shock that Chelsia was evicted, but that exit was. It was the worst exit ever! Talk about bitter and immature. Even DJC didn't know what to say to her. I figured she'd get a few digs in, but that was a tirade. I loved every crazy, embarrassing minute of it! James surprised me. He couldn't even throw her a sympathy vote? Since they have been quite active in the bedroom lately, it would have been nice. He may have slipped below Matt on the low class scale with that move.

Oh what do you know — there was another "Natalie is stupid" segment. I'm torn between thinking that CBS has nothing else to show or that she really does so many dumb things they have to show it. I'm guessing it's the latter. Oddly next to Chelsia, Natalie looked like the rational one. I completely understand how you can lose it in that house, but she was freaking me out a little with the egg smashing. Seeing all of that should have tipped me off to her emotional state, but I was still shocked by her verbal diarrhea at the end.

The DJC, ditching her signature black, celebrated spring by wearing what looked like a pastel pink rich lady version of a sweat suit. Who needs a hoody when you've got a matching sweater set? If I ever saw this woman in jeans and a tee, I'd probably spontaneously combust.

After meeting Adam's family in the HOH spotlight segment, I am convinced that very sweet and reserved mother of his accidentally dropped him on his head. His brother looked normal and I didn't see anyone with crazy eyes. They also spoke normal. Did I miss her say he was adopted? His home town of Cherry Hill, NJ is a suburb of my home town of Philadelphia and I just want to assure all of you across this great nation that I've never met a local guy like that in my life.

Sharon shrilled "beebees" on the live show! We couldn't escape it. If the guinea pigs could vote, I'm sure Sharon would be gone instead of Chelsia. Try to imagine being one of the guinea pigs for a moment: you're going about your life and all of the sudden a pale, shrilling monster with no eyebrows appears over your home and starts screaming "beebees". I predict a guinea pig mass suicide very soon.

Well if I didn't want to jump off a roof after hearing that, Nasty Natalia won HOH. I'd give you a great reason for why I didn't want her to win and why I don't like her if I had one. I just find her voice and her constant self-righteous ramblings irritating. Since I'm sure her obsession with Matt is still in full effect, there should be no surprises on Sunday when we find out who she nominates. Most likely it will be James and Josh. But anything can happen, right? And there's always the veto — can James pull himself off the block again? Comment below and come on back Sunday to discuss the nominees. —Krista

I don't watch BB when it is on opposite my real favorite show, but I am so happy to know that Chelsia is gone! Oh happy day. So she acted a fool, eh? No less than what I would expect.

What was Natalie ranting about? I must admit I am happy that she is HOH because I so want James and Josh gone. I hope she does nominate them and I won't care which one goes!

Wow! What else can I say about one of the biggest player changes in history. I know I picked Natalie to win HOH if it was a mental competition but I even had to question my sanity in the call. She was not lying when she said she changed her game play when Matt left. I am loving Natalie right now. I think I will root for her to win. Did you notice the total shock on the other player's faces when she won? Blew them away. Perfect timing for her to start making a strong showing.

Now, if she can keep things up she will blow our minds and make us rethink her abilities. I think she should put up Joshuah and Sharon. Then hope she can work out a backdoor move on James. It might be slightly less risky to put James on the block and dare him to win veto but I wouldn't gamble it. I think everyone wants James out at this point, even his alliance. He is too strong a player to keep around.

I can't believe Chelsia cracked in the game. I thought Joshuah would be on the block this week and crack like that. He probably still will when he eventually goes on the block. Chelsia's anger should have been directed at James, not the other houseguests. James will be back to loner boy on a world bike tour for sure when Chelsia watches the tapes.


Power Rankings:

1. Natalie - I can't argue with her new attitude and game play. She has HOH and the chance to crush the stronger alliance. I hope what we see now in her is not a fluke.
2. Sharon - She is still one of the strongest players. However, her biggest weakness came to the surface this week: playing someone else's (Joshuah) game. She needs to see the light and turn on Joshuah.
3. Sheila - She has come through this week without any changes. She needs to stay low a few more weeks and she could be in the running for the money.
4. Ryan - He is in the same boat as Sheila except he has an anchor named Joshuah firmly clamped on his ankle. If he doesn't cut the chain he is in trouble. An anchor is a safety tool unless it drags the boat under the water.
5. Adam - He will avoid being the target but he exposed his biggest problem now. He is not so bright. He also really does not want to be in charge of anything. If you can't embrace leadership you won't get a chance to embrace half a million dollars.
6. Joshuah - He has way too many things going against him in this game. Something has to give in his game and expose him to the chopping block. I think he has one more week and he is toast but he is as slippery as a greased pig.
7. James - He is swimming against the current and the sharks are gathering. His game is done and the others are just waiting for one wrong move from him so they can get him out. His abilities scare the house and everyone knows he has to go.

Chelsia may seem like your typical selfish, back-stabbing slut faced ho-bag, but in reality she's so much more than that. I'm glad we won't have to see her skanking around with James anymore. She really has no right calling Nat trash. Natalie servicing Matt on day 3 is no different than Chelsia servicing James on day 23. And that breastfeeding comment was an obvious dig at Nat's implant/abortion story. So long Chels, I'm sure that house will be better off without your nasty attitude and your allegedly rancid genitalia.

The worst part about this is now we have to watch James and Joshuah sucking up to Natalie, then talking about her as soon as she's not around. Those two have to go up, and if James wins, Josh will be against Sharon and he'll go home. If he pulls another one of his petty tantrums, I hope someone will finally stand up to him and knock that smug look off his bloated face.

I honestly don't like Natalie. I feel like she's been a hypocrite in the house. She's not dumb at all, just hypocritical. I definitely didn't like Chelsia's behavior, but I have to give her credit - at least she didn't do the fake "I'll miss you!" most people tend to do. Plus it was unexpected, which made my night more exciting.

And does everyone know that Natalie thinks there are 27 letters in the alphabet? It's "X, Y, AND, Z." Apparently, AND is a letter.

Can I get a HALLELUJAH AMEN! Smellsia the wicked b*tch of Iowa is gone! And even better, Nat is HOH! The look on James and Joshuah's faces was priceless! Damn that felt good!

Now, time for a tiny rant. As usual, a very lame edit and only 2% of Chelsia's psycho outbursts was shown. Even my husband who doesn't watch the show (who was passing through the room) commented "What's up with that B?" to which I had to explain that was actually the MILD stuff. If you want to see most of the footage, you can go back to the Sunday blog and click on the last few links I added there. There were also a bunch of them from Thursday or Friday too.

Now back to the eviction, the self proclaimed Anti-Christ went out like the piece of garbage she is. In the words of Mike Boogie "what a class act!"

That sneaky JC (I'm sorry, but I love the Chen-bot)... she pulled a fast one with her "Sharon, by a vote of 5-0 you are.... SAFE!" I loved her giving Smellsia a few seconds of false hope. Muhahahahaha!

Nat winning HOH ensures a GREAT week. No doubt in my mind that both James and Joshuah will be on the block. At this stage in the game you really cannot backdoor anyone since everyone minus one will be playing in the POV this week. Even if James wins POV, Joshuah goes home which is still fine by me...it's a WIN WIN week. Sayonara baby!

Where do I began?? Oh I know, Chelsia. She wanted to go out with a bang and she certainly did go out with a bang. Actually a more of a stink bomb if you ask me. She said she wanted to leave with dignity, well she did, dignity was the name of her bag. That's the only thing she left with. I would love to see the reactions on her family's face on the way she acted this past week. They must be so proud. My only wish is that they showed more of her rant....but they didn't.

I'm so glad that Natalie is HOH. I don't know what is with her, she is starting to grow on me. A couple of weeks ago I was calling her a twit. But now, after seeing her act after Matt left and the way she handled herself over Chelsia rants on her was beautifully. If that was me I would of attacked her right back. I know she is going to put up Josh and James. However I feel the only way to get rid of James is to bd him. But that is so iffy to maneuver. Hopefully he won't win POV.

I was cracking up at Adams quick talking montages. Over the past week Adam is another one who is growing on me. However he is still nasty. And his facial movements haven't been weird like they have been. I wonder if he is taking medication for it.

joe-cool, I agree with all your rankings. Especially about Sharon. She needs to see the type of person Josh. I was watching BBAD last night, and Ryan and Adam was talking about how Sharon realized that she made a bad decision about volunteering to go on the block. YA THINK??!! Speaking of that, she should of gave Chelsia the biggest hug ever and maybe a kiss for the way Chels acted. If Chels didn't act like a complete moron Sharon's dumb butt would of been out the door.

And that breastfeeding comment was an obvious dig at Nat's implant/abortion story. So long Chels, I'm sure that house will be better off without your nasty attitude and your allegedly rancid genitalia. bobby-j ur right, that comment was totally directed to Nat's past. I still have the images of her squirting the breast milk out stuck in my head. And I'm lmao over Chels rancid genitalia. I remember from last season they were saying Jens was rancid.

The next couple of days are going to be so interesting.

Oh yeah once again, I forgot to mention this....at one point with Julie when she was asking the hg's a question it looked like she was doing the peepee dance for a second. Did anyone else thought that or was it just me?

Well that wasn't surprising. Chelsia is one foul girl after seeing some of her greatest hits a few days ago. Her slurping on James still makes me nauseated to this day.

James is a piece of garbage. I didn't like what he said to Chelsia after the veto ceremony. That just wasn't cool. Then he didn't even give her a sympathy vote. Wow. He does realize that if she voted the other way, it would have been tied. And I imagine the HOH would have broken the tie. Ryan was the HOH, so he would have voted the other guy back in. It is convenient how James forgets that. Those two belong together. Two pieces of trash.

I don't care for Josh either. The guy is a smug bastard. He isn't like ED. I always thought ED did his rants because he was either provoked or it was game play or both. Josh seems to lose it for no good reason at times. And I think ED is just more likable than Josh. ED is also a better game player/strategist than Josh will ever be.

I am warming a bit to Nat. I still think she is a piece of work though. Maybe she will get further than I thought.

It was intriguing seeing Adam's family. The guy had the silly grin even he was a little kid. Those crazy eyes are distracting. Maybe BB is starting a new trend of getting people with crazy eyes after Eric last season. Like I said in previous post, I do think he is generally a good guy. It was unfortunate what he said early in the game.

So there is only 2 or 3 decent people left in this game (Ryan, Adam, Sharon). I guess I shouldn't say this too soon because I don't want to find out about Sharon servicing someone or calling someone the c word.

I personally think Natalie should try to backdoor James. That may be the only way to get rid of the pink haired goof ball. Natalie has Ryan, Adam and Sheila with her. Maybe put Sharon and Josh up and hope either James doesn't play in the competition or doesn't win. If he does win, Josh would be sent packing. So I agree with lakers on the scenario of Josh or James going home. I frankly can't see any other option. Maybe Ryan would campaign for Josh, but he probably won't do it too hard to risk exposure.

I will hand it to JC this week. She made it through the tongue twister of bikini barista from the beaver state in flying colors. Way to go Julie.

Natalie is a hypocrite...calmly talking about judge not lest ye be judged, but I sure seem to remember a lot of judgmental comments she made about Chelsia and others. In other words, I'll judge whomever I want, but don't judge me, because Jesus said not to.

Of course, they're all hypocritical at times, as are most of us. It's the nature of people to be inconsistent.

At this point, realistically the only one I like who remains that has a shot of winning is Sharon. Even though James has said and done some dumb things, I overall like him, but the odds are stacked against him. They were also stacked against Evel Dick last season, and ED should have been sent packing but for the help he got thanks to the America's Player votes that kept interfering with Eric's plans...but James doesn't have such help this time and will eventually end up like James from BB6/7 who finally got backdoored when he couldn't be eliminated the other way.

I'm apparently in the minority here, but I was very sorry to see Chelsea go. I was hoping at the last minute the other houseguests would turn on Sharon. They (Nat, Sheila, Ryan, and Adam) were starting to think that Sharon was silent but deadly because she does Josh's bidding. If I have to hear her say "Baaaabieeees" and "Furrr-iends" in that high pitched voice one more time, I may commit suicide.

I don't like Natalie at all. She says the stupidest things all the time and I really don't think it's an act. I also caught a few minutes of BBAD last night and she is claiming she won because God was on her side. That had me screaming at the tv "No, he wasn't, you got lucky."

I'm hoping that James wins the POV this week. He is really playing this game and I think with Chelsea gone, he can go far if he can get himself off the block and win HOH next week.

I read this blog all the time and just had to join in. So glad Chelsia is gone. She was just nasty.
I definitely think the only way to get James out is to BD him. But....is the person who wins POV also safe?? What if Nat puts up Sharon and Josh in hopes of backdooring James. James gets picked for POV and wins it. He then takes Josh off and they are both safe!! Then what.........

Thank you leleana, FrenchCelt & reality junkie! I thought I was the only one who didn't want to see Chelsia go or thought Natalie was one big hypocrite.

Ok, so Chelsia's rant on Natalie was a harsh and a bit too much, but while watching the show I made a comment to my husband about how could Natalie be so self-righteous after having not one but TWO abortions. I'm very pro-choice and am not religious, but I just cannot understand how someone who says she is so religious have even one abortion - and to top it off have her boyfriend at the time pee in a cup for her so she can have her boobs done and then go for an abortion a few days later? According to the church that IS against God's will. As FrenchCelt mentioned (about Natalie) In other words, I'll judge whomever I want, but don't judge me, because Jesus said not to. Didn't Jesus also say "He who has not sinned shall cast the first stone" (or something like that)? If she is so righteous, maybe she should practice what she preaches.

I'm not even going to touch on Nat's lack of brains. I think I've done enough Nat bashing (for today - even if the girl gives me so much to go on). I'm just not looking forward to a week of her being HOH.

Krista, I'm also going to have to agree with you about your comments on Adam. Again, I mentioned to my husband that something is just not right with that guy. Maybe he really was dropped on his head as a baby. He obviously can't be that bright if he has to have Natalie point out to him about who was best to put on the block.

Well James and Josh are done for (D.U.N. Done! - lol, sorry, I couldn't help it. I'll stop now). I was going for James right from day one (I think it's the pink hair - maybe it's the same reason why I loved ED so much. Can't trust the guy with the pink hair!). But it's only a matter of time before they get picked off one by one. I'd hate to see either Nat, Sheila or Adam win. I think I'll puke if either of them do.

I agree that Nat will probably nominate Josh and James, but the right thing to do would be to nominate Josh and Sharon with the intent to backdoor James.

That way there is a 25% chance that James won't participate in the POV (I say 25% because their are only 4 people who aren't HOH or nominated), and any of the other 6 will use it.

I thought Chelsia's 2 speeches were some of the best in BB history! I LOVE it when people are real. Yes, it was crude and immature and classless, but I MUCH prefer that to going out crying or even worse, hugging everyone who just voted you out. Good stuff! And I'm SO glad that she's gone, mainly because now Natalie will be TORTURED thinking that Chelsia and Matt will be "playing house."

While I'm glad Natalie won HOH so she can get her stuff from home, this may become one of the most annoying HOH reigns ever. Her self-righteous, holier-than-thou, bible thumping, preordained, and chosen by God to win attitude will be unbearable. Ugh.

I'm pretty sure that they won't risk James not being nominated, playing POV and winning so no chance to evict him. She'll nominate Josh and James and should one win, put up Sharon or Adam.
