Behind the Scenes - Big Brother 9 - 2/25/08

Today is all about playing chess. Both literally and figuratively.

Josh was up at nine-thirty in the morning. Shelia followed him thirty minutes later. Alex was up shortly after Shelia and went to hang out with Josh in the back yard. Amanda came outside and then went to wake Allison up. Allison had asked her to wake her up if it was nice outside. Everyone slowly moves outside to lay in the sun.

Shelia was in the kitchen alone using fingernail polish to write something about the Hudson River Virus on a napkin. The feeds were interrupted and the napkin was gone.

Matt takes Natalie into the storage room to teach her how to campaign. After they review what she needs to say (to Josh), they join the rest of the house outside (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNrIwOcmRBM).

After everyone is outside in the backyard, they all talk about last night during their naked pool party. See my article "Naked Pool Party" for more details: (CLICK HERE). They laugh about Chelsia during the strip show and then Josh bringing out a cucumber (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CenskcPOxGE). They talk about killing the ratings from last year because the people from Showtime are getting their money's worth. Chelsia had punched Ryan last night for no reason whatsoever and they keep laughing and talking about it.

Matt is telling stories about women and the feeds keep getting interrupted because he is probably talking about people who have not signed wavers. Natalie and Amanda wave at a helicopter flying by. Allison talks about previously dating a golf pro and the feeds were interrupted. Their conversations switches to sports and then Amanda mentions a friend of hers dying by getting caught in a wood chipper, and the feeds interrupted.

Ryan, Alex, Adam and Matt begin playing basketball. When Adam is called to the Diary Room, Natalie takes his place in the game.

Shelia told everyone that she was trying to figure out the puzzle this morning and she got into trouble. This must have been when she was using the fingernail polish to write on the napkin.
