5:00 pm Robert won America's Choice and spoke with his daughter.  He cried, she cried, emotional stuff (of course).  We didn't get to see it so tune in Tuesday I guess.

2:00 pm  The HGs completed a luxury competitoion.  A Jail Break style obsticle course.  The best times won.  Erika was 2:49, Robert's was 1:58, Jun's 1:20 and Ali's 1:02.  I am not sure if Ali picked Jun to go with her or if it was the 2 top times.  Either way Jun and Ali are going on a Baloon ride tommorow around 10:30 am and will be gone for most of the day.  Before the competition the HGs were not very excited, they feel they are not getting much in the way of "Rewards."

10:00 am  All the HGs sleeping soundly.

9:00 pm  BB is again running behind - the Veto competition has yet to start - they are al just sitting around waiting.

8:00 pm The Veto competition will begin around 8:30 pm (finally).  Robert told them it will last between 60 and 90 minutes.  Alison has been stretching to get ready.

7:00 pm They had a big Japanese dinner tonight a large Sushi platter.  They will eat very well each night since they won the food competition.

4:00 pm Robert announced the America's Choice - so now they know one of them will get to make a call.  They HGs have been staying inside for the most part today as it is in the high 90's outside.

11:00 am All the hgs were awoken at 10 am - they got up ate - and now are pretty much going back to bed.  They think the Veto competition will be much later today because they are not on lockdown.

5:00 am All the HGs are sleeping soundly - the Veto competition will take place this morning - this is MUCH more important that the HoH competition was this week.  The Veto winner, unless it is Robert, will end up being the person deciding who leaves the house.

Late Late night:  All of the HGs have been having problems sleeping this week and while they try to goto bed early they get back up.

Erika and Robert are getting pretty tight (not romantically - though CBS will probaly try to imply that).  Erika is kind of alienating herself to Jun/Ali - If either wins the veto do not be surprised if Erika goes wednesday.  If Erika or Rob wins it then expect Alison to go.  Either way Jun seems safe - and of course Rob is as well.

4:30 pm   Ali and Jun nominated.

1:00 pm Alison is in the Diary Room so Robert/Jun/Erika discuss getting her out.  Erika hates that she might have to vote to evict Alison but she agrees she will do it if it comes to that.  Robert says the jurors will respect them for booting ALison - and would resent them if she made the final two and might vote for her out of spite towards the other finalist.

11:45 am Robert finally speaks with Jun and explains why  he wants Alison out.

10:15 am - BB finally wakes the HGs with Mexican music.

Late night:  Erika and Robert had a long talk in the HoH room where Robert told Erika he wants Ali out.  He feels she is the biggest threat and he also says he wants Erika to get some money.  Erika does not want to have to vote Alison out - she tells Robert she promised her she wouldn't - so she agrees to be nominated against Alison, thus keeping her promise (and she also told Robert Alison is a vote for her if she makes it to the final).  In the end things are still not finalized.

Robert also spoke with Alison - told her not to be surprised is she is nominated.  He did not get a chance to talk to Jun.

Erika joked with Robert about splitting the money - Robert says they already got in trouble for discussing that.  A lot of us wondered if they got in trouble - Jee/Justin?Robert had discussed splitting it - but this is the first I heard they got in trouble for it - cool.

The POV holds all the power this week.  The HoH really is kind of pointless unless Robert wins the POV.  Because no matter whom RObert nominates -the POV winner can save themselves and casts the only vote (if its anyone but Robert).  There is only one vote so RObert can't break a tie.  Robert is pretty much at the other's mercy.

9:00 pm The food competition was tonight - the girls had to smash the pinata's they made earlier which were filled with Peson - the more pesos they got - the better the food they would get.  Jun got 650 pesos,  Erika 170, Ali somewhere around 900 and Robert got 940.  By getting a total over 2400 they pretty much will be eating VERY well this week (seems like it was fixed to me - they would have really had to suck to not get enough to be off PB & J.

Erika and Alison in special outfits for the food competition - Erika smashes her pinata. (Thanks to Morning_Magic  at TVClubhouse for the pics!!)

8:00 pm Robert was in the Diary room for an hour - meanwhile Jun napped and Erika and Alison had a few drinks and plotted.  They both decided they want Jun out.

5:55 pm Robert wins HoH because Erica was 6 hours over the total hours in the house.

The HoH Competition	Erica is over by 6 hours.

5:40 pm Jee evicted 2-0

Ali Votes	Erica Votes	Jee Evicted

5:30 pm Alison uses the veto on herself after pretending she might not.

pre-show - to be filled in!!!

1:15 pm The HGs see a banner advertising the start of Survivor 9-18 - they assume they will be done on 9-17 (You were right guys but now you are stuck for another week - show ends 9-25 now).

12:30 pm Apparently today is Jee & his girlfriends 3 year anniversiary (Congrats Carmen). 

12:00 pm  pm Jun announces that there will be no Veto Meeting today (nominations were yesterday  so they assumed the Veto would be today). The vote and apparently the Veto will be live this week.  So the HGs don't have a whole lot to do until Wednesday as it is doubtful if there would be any new plotting.  I am still not 100% sold that Jun wants Jee out.  She will have no say in it however if Ali uses the veto and Jun replaces Ali with Robert.  Then Erika and Ali will have the 2 votes - unless they split votes JUn will have no say.

10:30 am - I have a feeling it will be a slow Monday the HGs are finally up - and most are yawning every 2 minutes.

9:30 am - Alrighty - yup I am back and let me tell you I was shocked when I saw Jun nominated Jee AND Alison - but I understand the reason now. I will be updating this site today & tonight - Currently the HGs are sleeping - looks like they had quite a partying night last night (at least Jun & Ali from what I have seen so far).  My guess was of course wrong - it does seem at this point that Jun has finally decided it is time for Jee to go - but until the POV is used/not used ya never know.

This time last year was when Marcel had POV  - didn't use it - and was evicted.  I think Alison will use it.  It might be done live on Wednesday night.

More updates today/tonight as I try to get settled back into 'normal' life again.

Being as I will be away - I will make my guesses....  Jun will nominate Jee and Robert - Ali will not use the Veto.  And Jun will actually push to have Robert evicted (in a sneaky way)  thus saving Jee for another week and earning his loyalty as a potential alliance after (if) Robert goes.  Once again this is all a guess :)
