Let me start by saying - this was the best episode of the season. I love, love, loved every minute.
It opens with a montage of nomination reactions. Things are looking pretty bad for Alli Spades (and spineless, floater, Ryan). Woo Hoo! Chelsia does mention that she wanted Matty and Natty out last week because they are so strong (which I totally agreed with - I continue to think this will come back to haunt the house guests). I might also point out that Alli is “taking credit” for saving Matt 18-1 and Bikini Natalie - further proving how HORRIBLE she is at this game.
Josh Ohh Ahh, in a rare moment of self-reflection, notes that he needs to chill out a little. Understatement of the year.
Let me just congratulate the houseguests on how much actual “strategy” footage was in this episode. Finally.
Natalie is to Matty, what Screech is to Lisa Turtle. Bikini Natalie just won’t give up! Girl is clueless. I am sure they have edited these clips for maximum impact, but I don’t care - it is HILARIOUS! Massages Matty? No. Can we cuddle? No. I need hammock time. Not Today. I’m gonna lay with you, Matty. I’m going to lay by myself. Can I have a hug goodnight? No. Please? Shut Up. I could watch all day.
Speaking of Turtles - remember way back from the cast preview? Has there really been NO mention of everyone’s pet turtles?!?! I’m just sayin…
The couples are rigged to a pulley system - where the “runners” will run to get the puzzle pieces, causing the “flyers” to be hoisted into the air, and up to the puzzle board. At first it seems fairly straight forward, but once they start playing it is clear that it is a true test of their communication skills. Chaos ensues. Best. Challenge. Ever. Some Highlights:
Shelia wants Adam to be the flyer. Oh dear god, she does not understand gravity.
Alli Spades is squawking like a howler monkey..
Matt 18-1 (who is now my favorite person in the house) says he has no trouble running back and forth lifting Natalie’s weight. No doubt because he is used to pushing her off of him every night.
Uh oh, Josh and Sharon just cannot get it together. He is out of breath (and after seeing several of the After Dark clips this week, it is no surprise that he is not in great shape). She is not communicating well with him either. They are a mess.
Shelia and Ugly Adam can’t get it together either - She blames him, he blames her, and the world keeps spinning.
Hahahaha - Sharon is holding about 4 pieces, bobbing up and down, oh man….
Make that a howler monkey on crack.
It is neck and neck between Matty & Natty and Ryan and Alli Spades. At this point I am standing on my couch. (Don’t laugh, the crawl keeps reminding me that Clinton is doing better than expected tonight - so please, give me this, one, blissful distraction.)
Oh thank god!!! Matt and Natalie win. Josh Ohh Ahh screams louder than anyone. Matt is stoked because he is off the block (btw, his “Off the Block” dance in the HOH room later was the clip of the night) and Natalie thinks she has won his love. Of course she does.
As Alli says she feels bad for Ryan, it occurs to me. The girls have royally screwed things up in this house this season. Parker went home because of Jen, Alex went home because of Amanda and now Ryan will leave because of Allison. Bitches.
- Josh Ohh Ahh - I try and appeal to his gay side. Cut to him and Josh shirtless, dancing, hugging, ohhh little kiss. Hee Hee.
- Ryan - the Bromance. Just want to keep it friendly.
- Allison - The Shoulder to Cry On - Wait. A. Minute. While CONSOLING her he says “I know you are good at manipulating people” - Wow, he is better than I thought. I swear he just reminded me of Will (albeit on the JV Squad - but he is definitely made the team at Chill Town High).
- Sharon - Shomancing the Stone (Sharon! Get it?) - “I have to make her think that I care about her, which I don’t” Classic Chill Town.
Hiding from Screech Natalie - Matty is upstairs talking/making out with Sharon and Bikini Nat is on a tear looking for him! He hides in the bathroom. Haha. Josh comes in with saying, Natalie is HUNTING for you. Finally he comes out of the bathroom. She is drunk and literally begging him for a massage. God, this is getting sad now. (But still so funny.) He runs away. Quote of the night: “He gets too turned on by me, I think that’s why he is pushing me away” She is crazy!!
Ok, so Sharon claims to be playing the Shomance game right back (yea, I’ve heard that before, ahem, Erica). But we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Josh Ohh Ahh says we may need to whore you out. So much for God Squad Sharon - I hope Jacob is watching!!
So Natty finally breaks and is sad. Matty “smooths” things over by saying (in all seriousness) “Yer my boy” Priceless. Cut to her going, “We could still be soulmates.” Tip o’ my hat editors.
Mystery Noise! Everyone is sent into a tizzy. This theory and that. None of them mention the couples split I have been waiting for (though, I suspect this is due to editing). Who knows what will happen - hopefully whatever it is, Alli Spades will still bust tonight.
Veto Meeting - Matty and Natty save themselves - Shelia and Ugly Adam go up.
