At the moment,  Jeff is blinded by paranoia and not looking at the numbers.  Michele and Jordan's judgment is being clouded by their personal feelings,  and once again like in BB6,  James,  err I mean Russell is not staying close enough to his team members to give them the assurance they need. 

So what's going to happen?  As it stood last night,  Jordan will nominated Lydia and Natalie.  If one of them wins , or is taken down by the power of veto,  then Jeff and Jordan might backdoor Russell.  They are pretty much waiting to see who wins the PoV.  At this point,  the only thing that will positively keep the Power of Four  (Jeff, Jordan, Michele, and Russ) intact, is if Russell wins the PoV.

8:00AM BBT:  They are still asleep.  8:01AM BBT:  Russ is up
8:30AM BBT:  FotH It's time to shake the cage and get those hamsters running around the wheel. 
8:45AM BBT:  Russ is doing his job running around the wheel,  he's on the elliptical,  Jordan and Michele are in the HoH bathroom. 
9:00AM BBT:  Kevin Russell and Natalie ignores BB request that they change their batteries,  nope,  Russell just went in. [He should get a food pellet for that.] The house is on slop today, this is the only day they didn't win food for. 
9:35AM BBT: Michele and Jordan are talking about options in the HoH room.  Jordan is still thinking of sending Russell home,  but doesn't want to make the wrong decision and say in a later week that she should have gotten him out.  Jordan thinks Lydia is a waste and Kevin and Natalie would put up Michele and Jeff.

Michele says this is a hard decision and they'll have to have faith in Russell.  Jordan states she hasn't trusted him since day one.  Jordan thinks if she sends Russell home and HoH is endurance on Thursday,  then they'll have the advantage,  but she's worried about questions and how the other side would eliminate them.  Michele says they have to win everything at this point.

Feeds also show Lydia in the bathroom, blow drying her hair and someone in the shower.

Michele and Jordan agree that Kevin doesn't hate them and they could gain Kevin if they get rid of one of his people.  Jordan then wonders why she should get Natalie out when she could get out a strong competitor (Russell) and Michele says it's about the numbers.  They think Russell threw the golf HoH they just played,  Jordan won.

They're all going back and forth on this,  it started last night and I know you're anxious to find out what they decide,  however there's no point in typing out all their flip-flopping  We may just have to wait and see how they play it out.

11:30AM BBT: FotH: when we come back Hg are in SR, they got jalapeno peppers and pepperoni for the slop alternative.

11:55AM BBT:  BB calls for an outdoor LD

1:15PM BBT:  Natalie says it sucks to always be nominated,  but she's going to win PoV.  Lydia says they'll put up Kevin.  Lydia wants to do something "evil" against Jeff and Jordan,  and Kevin warns her to just play the game and try to win to save themselves,  he didn't put his neck out telling their lie for them to screw it up by acting up. 

Lydia's in one of her moods and it's got Kevin really pissed.  He tells her to just wait until she calms down,  go up the HoH and talk to Jordan,  he tells her,  "This is Big Brother, everyone has to go up and kiss the HoH's ass." 

1:24PM BBT:  In the HoH room, Jeff and Jordan are still going over their options.  [If I had hair I'd be pulling it out now. -Morty]  Jordan says after talking in the DR, they made her think maybe she shouldn't put Russ on the block. Jeff said the same thing happened to to him. [This was an observation StephenV made last night,  that Jeff went into the DR ready to put up Russell,  and came out with a different point of view.  -Morty] 

1:35PM BBT:  Jordan and Jeff continue to talk about how they don't trust Michele and Russell.  Jeff keeps harping on why she'd tell anyone she has a PhD,  "If i had one, I wouldn't tell anyone." he says with pride. Michele scares him,  because he just can't figure her out.  Jeff continues to say his deal with Russ is no longer valid because Russell broke the deal by voting to keep Jessie.  Jeff wants to get to the bottom of the odd votes. 

1:48PM BBT: Jeff and Kevin are bonding in the BY.  Michele and Russell in the pool room,  Russell's still trying to pump her full of "final two" talk.  .  Jordan in HoH. Lydia in the shower.  Natalie cooking pasta, not on slop because she has a pass.

3:00PM BBT:  After a long FotH,  we return to find Natalie shoveling it to Jeff.  Jeff is floating in the pool listening to her as she paces around the edge.  Jeff says he is glad things have calmed down in the house and no one is going crazy. Natalie tells him that she never went crazy.  Natalie takes advantage of the one on one time to tell Jeff that people he trusts are scheming behind his back.  Jeff says he knows it and that he plans on addressing it,  just right now.  Natalie tells Jeff that it hurt her more when Chima left than when Jessie left.  She says that Jessie opened his heart up to her and she was honest with him that she didn't feel the same way.  She says when Jessie left she was upset but that it wasn't that big a deal.  Chima was a bigger deal. 

Natalie says she wants to put up Michele because she took out Chima [?]  and because Michele is a habitual liar.  She also reminds Jeff that Russell voted to keep Jessie,   so that's a vote for Russell at the jury house. 

3:25PM BBT: Still all 4 feeds of Jeff and Natalie talking by the pool.  Jeff says that he hopes Chima gets some help or talks to someone on the outside.  She could be awesome but she could be very bitter. Natalie tells him that Chima was told by production that she needed to promise to not cause anymore trouble but that she refused.  According to Natalie they told her "then we'll have to send you home" and Chima's response "then send me home, I want to go home".

3:45PM BBT:  In the HoH room,  Jeff and Jordan review everything they know again.  Jeff makes the brilliant statement,  "I don't think we should send one of our own home,  then the numbers would be even again."   So they're back to thinking it's Natalie's turn to go,  "But what if Natalie wins PoV?  Then it might be a good time to get Russell out..."   Natalie has filled Jeff's head with so much doubt.  They suspect Michele and Russell have a deal and will be gunning for them.  They think everyone has a deal and will be gunning for them.  It staggers the mind.   Jordan considers asking Michele if she has any deals,  but they decide it would be best to not put any doubt in her head.

4:48PM BBT: BB: Houseguests, this is a lockdown, please go inside and close the sliding glass door.

 

It's Russell's HoH prize. He tries to engage her in conversation but figures out that she can't talk to him, but she does smile. The cheap ass producers didn't even spring for a happy ending.

6:33PM BBT: All HGs were summoned to the living room and are now standing at the backdoor. It seems they are waiting for something.  When they head outside there is a white canopy with what looks like a massage table centered in the middle of it. There is a woman standing out there who does not speak.  Jordan mentions that Russell can put on a robe. .FotH

6:47PM BBT: Kevin goes upstairs to talk to Jeff and Jordan while Michele is in bed and Russell is getting his massage. He thanks Jordan for not nominating him. Kevin says "I wanted to tell you that I have a sinking feeling. FotH.

6:50PM BBT: Jordan just spilled the beans that Natalie is still the target this week and Russell next week.  Kevin is convincing them that Natalie's and Lydia's targets for next week will be Russell and Michele.  Jordan tells Kevin that he is Russell's target and that Michele confirmed it as well.  Kevin addresses the number concerns.  He tells them that if they are worried about the numbers after Russell leaves,  since they have looked out for him he would be willing to... FotH.

 

Of course everything told to Kevin in the HoH room was confidential, with specific instructions not to take the info back to "the girls."  Kevin waited 40 minutes before he broke his word.

7:15PM BBT: Kevin leaves and Jordan tells Jeff she loves Kevin and asks if they can trust him. Jeff says "It's funny timing, that's all I got to say." Jeff and Jordon think it is a good idea to get one of the girls out this week.

[IMHO why wouldn't they get one of the girls out, if they get Russell out this week and Lydia, Natalie or Kevin get HoH next week, who would they put up? Michele and either Jeff or Jordon. Michele might get PoV then Jeff or Jordon would definitely go to Jury House-sometimes I yell at my PC acting like these people can actually hear me. --mmm  I think many fans have been yelling at their computers this week.  -Morty]

7:30PM BBT: Natalie and Lydia tell Kevin they have to give Jessie's clothes back,  Kevin says "says who?".  They say production, and that Jessie must have asked for them back. Kevin goes to DR.  Natalie and Lydia playing cards in red room.  Michele now up in HoH with Jeff and Jordan. All 4 feeds on HoH but we can still hear Lydia and Natalie in red room on the feeds-just card talk.

Michele and Jordon talking about Russell's massage and wondering how long is it?  And with that, all four feeds switch to Russell putting his robe on in BY, massage is over.  Russell goes into red room and tells the girls he has never gotten a professional massage before.  The girls tell him he will hurt tomorrow since all the toxins will come out.  Russell said he is hurting a little now since it was deep massage.  Russell says oh great the PoV is tomorrow.  Russell goes to get a shower to get all the oil off his body.

11:00PM BBT:  Russ and Jeff are playing pool, Natalie and Kevin are by the hot-tub giving Jordan an earful of anti-Michele propaganda.  She says Chima was heartbroken that Michele sold her out.  Natalie's also trying to sell herself as a lone wolf,  with no ties to Lydia,  claiming they aren't friends,  they've just learned to get a long with each other.  Of course with any propaganda campaign,  repetition of the message is key.  At ten after they decide to get changed so they can get in the hot-tub. 

1:45AM:  It's been a very quiet night. A game of BS with Kevin, Jeff Lydia and Natalie has been going on for a while.

2:00AM BBT:  Kevin, Lydia and Natalie are still in the kitchen playing cards.  Jeff and Jordan are in the HoH.  They've used a deck of cards to make a calendar to practice memorizing date for the HoH competition.  [Jedi training.]
