9:00AM BBT: Jordan is up and dressed. Russell is called to the DR.
9:10AM BBT:  Russ and Michele in the LR.  Mostly quiet, but some chatting.   Ronnie's called to the DR and quickly scurried past Russell to get there.  "Rat, rat tata rat"  Russ said.  Ronnie's only in the DR a few minutes.  Russ immediately gets up and follows him to the stairs as Russ asks Ron how it feels to have gotten 'got' by Russ.   He tells Ronnie to enjoy it up stairs and remember it was Russell.   Ronnie scurries back to the HoH without speaking to anyone.   Michele tells Russ she kind of likes Laura's name for Ronnie, "the puppet master,"  but she also likes Russ' "rat" as well.
9:15AM BBT: Jeff is called to the DR.
9:30AM BBT:  Russell finishes breakfast and goes upstairs and lays on sofa outside the HoH door.  Ronnie's inside watching the house on his spy screen.  The house is quiet,  no other HGs are shown moving about. 
11:00AM BBT:   Still,  all is quiet in the BB house.  Casey's outside smoking, the rest of the house is napping.  Ronnie is in his room, in bed, restless. 
11:45AM BBT:  Jessie, Michele, Natalie, Chima, and Kevin are awake and moving around.
11:50AM BBT:  BB:  "Good morning houseguests.  It's time to get up for the day."   This second call was over three and a half hours after the first.

12:05PM BBT: Jessie was trying to find Casey and Russell. (They don't know that Russell is upstairs.) Everyone seems to be getting along.  Some are eating in the kitchen or in the bathroom area.  Jordan and Laura telling the HGs about Russell going after Ronnie this morning.  A little poking fun at Ronnie is going around.  Natalie thinks Russell is in the HoH with Ronnie and Natalie wants Jessie to go upstairs and check.  Jessie says they'll know soon enough, as those two will need to eat eventually.  Jessie tells Natalie he'll go upstairs and play chess with her.  But they don't.
12:10PM BBT:  Jessie and Jeff talking about Ron on the bathroom couch.  Jessie says how Ronnie has a huge capacity to lie and how Jessie can't even remember what happened two days ago.  Jeff jokes about just lying to random people in the grocery store,  pretending to tell a lady someone stole her peach and watch them all go at it.  They both laugh.  They and Laura start talking about Ronnie brainwashing his cat.

12:15PM BBT: Natalie and other kitchen people see Russell move his feet above them on the couch and now know his whereabouts. Laura and Natalie tell the boys in the bathroom and they wonder if Russell just came out the HoH room and laid down on the couch.

Michele and Lydia outside talking about Ronnie. Lydia says how believable Ronnie is and how Russell and Ron are playing both sides.  Lydia talks about how Ronnie would tell her and Kevin that Michele wouldn't talk game and people should be scared of her.  Michele is shocked.

Jessie brushing his teeth as him and Natalie whisper.  She says something about them staying together like before (the big event last night) but still get out someone (either Ron or Russell). Russell comes in and tells them how he chased Ronnie to the HoH and yelled how he'd keep Ronnie in his HoH room if he didn't won't to listen to Russell. Russell is very proud of this.

Michele and Lydia go lay out in the sun together. They talk about Ronnie and who they want out.

12:30PM BBT:  Natalie goes upstairs and sets up the chess board. Jessie joins her. Jordan is outside shaving her legs. Michele says it's because Jordan has the cold showers.  Ronnie is now listening to music in the HoH room. He can see on the spy screen that Jessie and Natalie are playing chess.

12:40PM BBT:  Jessie Comforts Ronnie....      Jessie wants Ronnie to know he still has his back,  but of course under the circumstances it's got to be on the down-low.  Of course Ronnie will be nominated,  but Jessie tells Ronnie to not worry about it, he still has a chance at the PoV. Jessie says he may still have a chance if he goes up against Casey   Ronnie asks where Lydia and Kevin stand, and Jessie says he doesn't know.  He says "We've all been had." [Not sure who he feels he's been had by.]   Ronnie says that except for him (Jessie), Natalie, Lydia, Kevin and Chima, he told them everything. 

1:10PM BBT:  Lydia is making a Slip 'n' Slide out of garbage bags, while talking with Chima and Natalie in the bathroom.  Chima or Natalie talk about backdooring Ronnie and Lydia asks why they can't just put Ronnie up in the first place because he won't win PoV.  They talk about Ronnie winning the HoH competition and how he knew what the competition would be then and this week.  Lydia says something about BB telling a certain HGs things to help them  is cheating.   Chima says if both her and Michele try to throw HoH and end up winning,  then that will be something  [She means that would if BB interfered somehow, wince they can't put Ronnie up.]

1:20PM BBT: Russell, Michele and Lydia set up the slide outside.  Russell mentions putting soap on it and Lydia says she doesn't know you put soap on a slip 'n' slide.  Russell says yes, to make it slippery.  He puts soap and water on it and Lydia is the first to go.  She slides down on her knees and now it's Russell's turn.  Russell slides on his belly and goes pretty far.  Russell goes again and it really burned his stomach. Seems like it ripped and they threw it away.  It also sounds like Natalie got hurt playing on it.

1:30PM BBT:  Natalie and Jessie still playing chess upstairs. Laura's outside tanning. Russell and Michele lay down together in the sun.

Natalie says she feels bad for Ronnie and people saying bad things to him.  She wonders what he will do on Thursday when he can't have the room anymore and they won't be able to talk to him.

1:35PM BBT:  Ronnie is called to DR and Russ runs inside and waits for Ronnie.  Ron looks on his HoH screen to see who's where and can tell Russ is waiting for him in the kitchen.  As soon as Ron opens the door, Russ starts on him.  He asks what he's been doing and Ron says sleeping.  Russ continues on asking him how it feel to have gotten 'got' and follows Ronnie all the way to the DR.  After Ron is inside the door,  Russ starts laughing, saying this is the highlight of his day.  Casey comes by and Russ asks him if he'll join in.  Casey says he's undecided and says that ignoring Ronnie is also a good tactic.

1:40PM BBT:  All feeds on Chima, Lydia and Kevin on the bathroom couch.

1:55PM BBT:  Russ and Laura are laying on the LR couches. (Russ is waiting for Ronnie to come out of the DR.)  Russell to Ronnie:  "Hey Ronnie,  let's play a game.  Who's this: [with Russell mocking Ronnie's crying] 'Oh boo hoo hoo,  In high school, I was picked on by bullies.  I have to nominate Russell or my wife will never forgive me.'  Hey Ronnie, how many quarters are in your cup?  [Now doing an impersonation of Rain Man]  '150,  yeah,  that's right, a hundred and fifty quarters.'  How about 600?

2:05PM BBT:  Lydia's Theory:  Lydia and Jordan are talking poolside.  Lydia found some detail in Russell's story about Ronnie that doesn't ring true, (I missed the details,  something about one them being somewhere that were not....)  This leads Lydia to believe that Russell might be the puppet master,  and the he's still working with Ronnie.  Lydia tries out her theory on Kevin,  "You mean you think they still have something going together?  That doesn't seem possible.  Well.  just keep that one under your hat,  and we'll think about it.  Marinate on it..."  ("Marinate on it" is an expression of Russell's meaning to give a matter some careful meditation time,  to consider it.  or maybe Braden said it, and Russ picked it up... I'm not sure.)

2:15PM BBT:  Lydia tells Jordan she's not going to let these boys run them over. Feeds switch to Ronnie in HoH. Ronnie's in bed, crying and looking at his picture of his wife and cat. He's now in the bathroom, going through his BB travel bag.

On tonight's Show.... They showed the PoV / Luxury Challenge.  The contest was a money estimating game.  The HGs were given containers,  and a target amount.  Then there was a cascade of coins,  they had to grab the coins and guess at which point they reached the target amount goal.  Jeff won the PoV,  and Chima and Casey won the movie screening.   After the PoV, Ronnie tries to put his plan together to vote Russell out.  Natalie tells him that Jessie won't like the idea.  "Get Jessie for me, and quietly."  Ronnie tells Natalie.  In the DR, Ronnie says he kept going back and forth on the idea.   For complete details on tonight's episode Click Here.  [This link will not be active until 7/22/09]  America's Vote : Pick the Food You Want the Have-Not Houseguests to Eat this Week! Your choices are: Sauerkraut and Seaweed,  Cabbage and Cocktail Weenies,  Pickled Eggs and Pickled Herring Click Here to Vote.   At the PoV meeting, Jeff used the PoV to save himself,  Ronnie put up Jordan in Jeff's place.  From the DR,  Jessie said,  "It might have been the right time to get rid of Russell,  but I want Laura out of here."

7:15PM BBT: All is well. Jessie is playing pool with Natalie, Kevin's in the kitchen, Michele is in the shower, Ronnie's in his room and everyone else is on the patio having sex.  It's all very boring, and the part about them having sex was a lie.

7:45PM BBT:  Ronnie is still in bed in the HoH room.  All other HGs outside chatting.  Jeff is on the elliptical.  Jordan goes inside and Michele is in the kitchen cooking.

8:15PM BBT:  At some point they think Ronnie snuck downstairs for food,  but I can't confirm.  Jessie says the video of April and Ollie having sex was viewed over 200,000 times on that popular video sharing service we can no longer mention. 

8:16PM BBT: Lydia is doing her make up in the bathroom. Laura is laying there behind her.  Neither are talking.

Out in the BY Russell, Jessie, Chima and Natalie are talking on the patio.  Russell sharing with us his morning 'issue' and how he had to stay in bed for 15 minutes till things relaxed.  They are discussing not looking directly at the camera and then Chima pipes up that they should just make a porn cause that's lots of looking at the camera for those. Jordan is outside too.  Casey is working out.

8:34PM BBT:  Chima and the others talking - she says "You know there's people out there that type what we say verbatim?" (who me?)    Ronnie was laying at the top of the stairs trying to listen. Michele in kitchen cooking. Ronnie back in HoH.

8:42PM BBT: Lydia, wearing a sparkly purple head covering,  is pouring wine for everyone.   Natalie came in and grabbed a glass.  Lydia and Chima said "No Natalie don't do it!" and Chima says "I wish she could have a drink." (I bet Natalie wishes she could too... ) Natalie, Chima and Lydia by the Hot Tub.   Chima asked Kevin if he wants to make out later,  he's working out and yells,  "No!"  Laura is sleeping.

8:52PM BBT: Ronnie up in HoH and looking at the spy screen.

General chit chat going on.

9:10PM BBT:  Michele still cooking. Jeff and Jordan in kitchen now.  Jeff can't believe everyone ate his Tuna pasta.  He compliments Jordan on doing OK with slop and says she's doing better than Laura who 'wants to kill herself'.  Jordan is eating pickles.  Jeff is concerned with Laura says she's been sleeping for hours.

9:20PM BBT: Casey just took a shower,  now it's Jeff's turn.  That was quick,  now Natalie's in the shower.

FotH

9:52PM BBT:  Jessie told Lydia he had no problem dropping trou'.  It sounded like he was offering,  but it never happened.  If it had, it would have looked like this.

It appears Jessie made another one of his shakes, he was rinsing out the cup again. He's gone out back and the girls are asking him to do "Banana Hammock" and whether or not he puts a 'sock in it' when he poses.  What does he wear when posing in bodybuilding competitions?  Speedos. Kevin shares with everyone that male models put a sock between their balls and their junk to make it look natural.

In the Kitchen...   Russell is making something to eat.  Drinks out of the water gallon jug.

9:52PM BBT: Jessie is modeling for Lydia, Chima, Kevin and Michele in the bathroom.  They are cracking up!

On the other camera game talk is going on.

10:10PM BBT:  Jeff was outside talking with Casey and Jordan.  Jeff has an interesting theory,  he feels the reason Jessie's so interested in Natalie is because Natalie is so into Jessie.  Jeff thinks Natalie feeds his ego,  and nothing more. 

10:20PM BBT:  Ronnie is in HOH reading the Bible.   Everyone else is having fun on the patio.

10:19PM BBT: Outside Casey and Russell are trying to reassure Jordan that she's staying even though Jordan doesn't feel she is..

Jeff saying that he and Casey "got a bad rap" . Casey saying "Russell may have some guilt" and may want to keep Jeff around longer.   Casey says he has a better relationship with Russell now.  Casey: "I don't want to be in the jury house with a bunch of goofs." and Jeff says he wants him in there "with me."

10:22PM BBT: Laura comes out from her pow wow with her new found friends from last nights blowup.  Apparently they told her she and Jordan should have just eaten the pizza and taken the penalties.

Now they are talking about getting tomatoes from the garden which they are allowed to eat and make "tomato soup"  but they realize the tomatoes are not ripe..

10:24PM BBT: Chima telling them about their shower escapade with the guys who were "buck naked" ..she tells them she only saw "butt". her and Lydia say they remained dressed {keeps opinion to myself}

10:27PM BBT:  Chima singing the Pina Colada song (Escape) but they don't know who sang it  {Rupert Holmes if anyone's interested}

10:34PM BBT:  Now they are talking about Ronnie who apparently hasn't come down the entire day.  Russell:  "How to you get quarters stuck in your ass?"

10:40PM BBT:  They are trying to figure out date today.  Talk turns to Ronnie and how "anything he told you was false" about house facts and possible HoH questions.

Casey tries to find a way for who gets nominated in their effort to get Ronnie evicted,  gets immunity.  Chima chimes in "I don't want to be a pawn". and "It's my birthday week."  Jessie suggests "What about drawing straws?"

10:44PM BBT: Ronnie is reading his Bible with a Lydia and Russell voice overlay.  She's bitching {she really is} about Jessie throwing something at her and hitting her to Russell.   Ronnie let's out a sigh.

Outside the talk of Ronnie going up continues. .

11:10PM BBT: Ronnie comes down and Russell torments him: "I got you good..." "Russell is smarter than me." "Russell didn't buy my bullshit." "Everyone is going to laugh at you."  "We all want you to go home."  He calls him "Ratty" as he heads back to HoH with the bottle opener... [Wow that was brutal... but I loved it -StephenV]

11:14PM BBT: Downstairs they laugh at Ronnie,  "What does he want a bottle opener for?" Chima wonders.  Someone says for his Smirnoff Ice.  It was Laura who correctly said "His root beers."

Update by CeciMom:  Throughout the night house guests bobbed in and out of conversations sizing each other up.  Discussions revolved around… How are they going to approach next weeks HoH competition?  Who throws it?  Who becomes a pawn?  Do they scrap the whole idea of backdooring Ronnie and they all go "balls to the walls? "

Meanwhile, Lydia’s obsession of Jessie is blinding her game.  Natalie is in her way of having Jessie to herself.   In the early morning hours Lydia has spent her alone time with Jessie dissing Natalie.  She’s doing her best to feel Jessie out, does he like me or does he like Natalie?  Is he loyal to me, Kevin and Chima or is he loyal to Natalie?  Unfortunately, Lydia will find out the answers too late…
 

OK BB fans, I've got to wrap things up early tonight as I have early appointments tomorrow morning.  So updates will be posted late,  but I will get to them.
