9:30 pm Rob told the girls about the chat, they ate dinner (ribs), worked out, just general stuff with the occasional game talk whenever two with away from the third (ie - Jun/Ali 'hate Rob, Rob/Ali talk about the finals, etc).

2:30 pm Rob won the America's choice - and got to do a net chat.  Last year of course Lisa just chatted with Eric - this year it sounds like it was more of a general chat.  You can read the entire chat as it was captured by Hamsterlady of TVCLUBHOUSE here: Roberts Chat.

11:30 am - THe HGs were given a wake-up call around 9:30 am - they finally got up and BB let them see their "Web Sites.  No  - these are not actual web sites - but they do go find positive comments about the HGs on the net and put them all together.  We had several quotes about Lisa from TVCLUBHOUSE used last year on her "page." Pictures from Hamsterlady @ TVCLUBHOUSE. Click to enlarge.

8:00 pm The mime returned to keep Jun company while Ali and Robert watched the movie.  Ali and Rob give the movie a thumbs up :)

3:00 pm So the mime brought them a note which told them the winner of the luxury competition gets to watch a sneak preview of the John Grisham movie "The Runaway Jury" in the desert room tonight with one guest and tickets to the red carpet at the premire (they can each bring a date).  Robert won by getting 3 balls to stick to the velcro coated mime as he dashed around the back yard.  He decided to let Ali watch with him.  Oh, and the Mime finally left :)

Mime goes to the Desert Room	Hgs hear about the luxury in the Desert Room	Robert wins the competition.

12:30 pm A Mime arrived in a box just around 10:45 am for the Luxury competition. But after about 5 minutes they have lost interest - they keep playing along.   He has done lots of silly things - I suppose it will make good TV - for 5 minutes - but by now its OLD.  The mime had a card which said he was their "ticket" to tonights Luxury competition.  They are clueless as to what it means or what they are supposed to do. 6:30 am The HGs all went to bed pretty early for them.  And are now sleeping soundly.

Jun and Ali also discussed telling Robert that he will not move on if either of them get HoH - they both say they are tired of his 'campaigning to stay.' Robert should spend less time campaigning and more time getting ready for part II of the competition.

No word on when Part II will take place, but I am guessing it might not be until Saturday or Sunday.  Then Part III would take part LIVE on Wednesday and the winner would kick out one of the other two.

1:30 pm Other than the food riddle (below) not much has been going on. Jun and Ali plan to "Study" so Jun will be ready for any type of quiz she might have against Robert.

Feeds on the fritz today.

Food Competition: The Hgs have a riddle to answer by 9:00pm in order to win a dinner of their choice tommorow night.  This is the riddle:

You have three picnic baskets filled with fruit. One has apples, one has oranges, and the third has a mixture of apples and oranges. You can not see the fruit inside the baskets. Each basket is clearly labeled. Each label is wrong. You are permitted to close your eyes and pick one fruit from one basket, then examine it. How can you determine what is in each basket?CLICK HERE FOR ANSWER

7:30 am Jun & Ali are up early.  Mostly the talk is of a personal kind - Jun was bad-mouthing Jee and their old relationship.

Late night.  There will not be much "strategy" going on now.  It pretty much goes like this.  Jun/Ali don't like Rob, don't want to go against Rob.  Jun will probably win Part II of the HoH challenge.  I just can't see Robert competing well - he gives up too easily.  Even if he wins PArt II he would still have to beat Alison in Part III.

8:30 pm - Ali won Part One.  Now Jun and Robert will compete in part two - my guess is tommorow.  Jun let go 1st - an accident.  Then Rob quit after Ali said she was 99% sure she would take Rob with her if she won.  The winner of Part One will compete against the winner of Part Two. 

7:30 pm Seems like the "snow" lasted at least 60 seconds - it has snowed on them at least twice.

When it was at its worst.	Clean-up time.

7:25 pm  Last year they were in boats and subjected to storms - this year they are on top of houses and will be subjected to the weather.  They have been pelted with "snow" already.  Last one holding the keys wins this part of the HoH competition.

7:10 pm  - Live feeds are back - I am sure this will be a long night.

7:00 pm The HoH challenge - part one (thanks for the pic Hamsterlady!!):

6:41 pm  Erika is evicted

6:30 pm - Alison uses the veto and Erika goes up in her place.

6:00 pm Big Brother has new FOTH music.  I have heard everything from Jazz to Classical Piano.  Its a NICE Change!!!

Erika should be walking out the door soon and then the gloves come off as the 3 HGs should be battling it out for the FInal HoH.  Expect a marathon HoH challenge.  Previously it has also been in 3 parts.

3:30 pm  Hgs have a logic problem to solve in order to get a nice dinner:

Suppose you had 8 billiard balls, and one of them was slightly heavier, but the only way to tell was by putting it on a scale against another. What's the fewest number of times you'd have to use the scale to find the heavier ball? 

4:30 pm - Erica is up and out - Robert tells her he spoke with "John" and that they will find out how much longer they have in the house.  We get Foth as they discuss it.  Rob thinks it ends next week - but he is wrong of course (he would have been right had CBS not ordered extra shows).  Robert tells Erika that Ali said she still has not made up her mind who she is voting out.  Problem is, as I see it Ali is just bs'ing Robert.  Erika says she really thinks she is leaving.  That strategically she thinks Alison feels it is better to have her (Erika) on the jury.

4:00 pm Erica, Jun, Ali in bed - Robert outside - was working on the pool - now just sitting.

12:00 pm All the Hgs are up and about and it is proving to be a slow day again today.  Erika/Ali play cards, Jun suns herself, and Rob is in the HoH room listening to music.

7:50 am All Hgs sleeping.

Late night: Not a whole lot to report - they stayed up watching and discussing the TV show and the evicted HGs, etc.  Erika was up late - couldn't sleep - she is pretty sure she will be going Wednesday (so am I).

9:00 pm  The HGs got to watch most or all of their competitions as they were shown on TV.  They enjoyed it a lot.  And of course some of them migh have gotten inflated senses of their importance out in the 'real' world.

6:25 pm Ali & Jun in the tub, Rob cleaning the pool and Erika eating.

6:00 pm - Ali has told the others that they will get to watch some type of video later.  My guess is it will be video of the Blimp Ride. Robert told Erika he feels good about her chances of staying, Erika says she needs to be prepared to leave.

3:00 pm Jun and Ali did some talking - They seem to think Erika feels like she is staying (I don't think Erika feels that way).  Ali told JUn she wants to have a meeting tonight and announce there are no hard feelings and she will decide what she decides is best for her.  Of course she is telling Jun all this and not Erika so chances are Jun is safe.

1:00 pm Ali tells Rob she was told they had 2 weeks left (2 1/2 by my count).

11 am - the Hgs finally got up - count on it being a VERY slow day after a pretty busy weekend.

Been a long night for me - and others - but TVCH is back up and running!!

6:30 pm - For those missing the TVCH live feeds - I have uploaded todays feeds (a work in progress) - you can read them HERE.  They will continue to be updated - until the TVCH site is back up.  The last page will always have info on the last update - and if I am done for the night.

4:45 pm  Ali and Jun have returned and seemed to have a good time.  Well, Ali did - Jun got sick (lol).

3:00 pm  Not much going on - no sign of Rob - most likely he is off in the Diary Room.  Erika grooms herself. 

1:30 pm  It was the Goodyear Blimp Jun and Ali were/are on.  It flew over the Big Brother house and had messages blinking about making the final four.  Erika and Robert watched it go over the house.

Erika an Rob in the pool - 
shortly before the Blimp flew overhead.

12:00 pm - Here is a recap and update.....  Yesterday they had a luxury Challenege.  Jun and Alison won a Baloon ride - the theme was a jail-break of sorts.  So now Jun and Ali are gone and its just Erika and RObert left in the house.  Needless to say its rather quite.  They were told Jun/Ali would be gone most of the day.  (update - I have filled in the blanks in a normal time-line below).

Robert and Erika sit around while
Jun & Ali are off on a baloon ride.

Also later yesterday Robert won America's Choice and spoke with his daughter on the phone. 

From what I can gather, Jun/Ali are acting pretty tight so I still think Alison will veto herself on Wednesday and put up Erika - and then vote Erika off.

11:40 am - Jun and Ali left around 11 am for their Blimp ride.

I have received several e-mails asking the status of tvclubhouse - yes - I am a moderator/administrator over there - but no - the sites are not directly related.  Here is a site that will most likely have more updates than mine http://www.enbcom.com/tvclubhouse/   this is the site owner's page.

As for the tvch live feeds - another member has been collecting and coordinating live feeds since the outtage.  I have been told we have a pretty good running live covereage since tvch went down but it never hurts to have more info!!   As soon as the site is back up and running we will update all the missing time with the live feeds mailed in by the faithful members :)  If you happen to be someone who does live feeds on the site - or just want to contribute even if you never have before - please sent them to me if you have no one else to send them too :)  I will then post them in the correct order in the TVCH live feeds as soon as I am able AND give you the credit of course.  Be sure to include your TVCH member name in the e-mail.  Once again the address is tvchlivefeeds@ilovereality.com to send in any live feeds.  Thanks again!! :)

8:45 am -The HGs are snoozing.....

Well... tvclubhouse.com is down, we know why and are working to get it back online (a simple problem but weekends are not good times to fix even simple problems).  If you have live feeds you would like posted on the site at a later date you can mail them to me here: tvchlivefeeds@ilovereality.com - Personally I have been away so I was not aware of the problem until this morning- but others are and are working to get it resolved.  I will still update this site with info later today :)

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 :)
