They are having a nice conversation (Ivette April Howie & Janelle) about kids and kids names. AWWWWW! Better enjoy this while it lasts.

I think the partners idea could have worked if BB had chosen 14 strangers who really wanted to win the money and partnered them up in the week before they entered the house. That way there would have been more of a desire on everyone's part to play the game and less of the current playing for sequester.

As it stands, I think the partners idea is a bust.

Is it possible that its not April in the black dress but rather Holly? If so, this would have been right after the POV comp and maybe no one has been evicted yet.

Its just that the hair looks more like Holly than April.

I was thoroughly entertained by the interview and the way he and Marcellus kept sniping at each other, all in jest. It was one of the best Housecalls episodes and James came off quite well. I agree it is too bad we didn't get to see this humorous side of him in the house, but then there was no one like Marcellus there for him to play off of.

Feeds back on April and Maggie, more ragging on people. I'm sorry but I wish they would go back to Howie and Janie. I finally got a good laugh when they were talking with Beau.

For some reason I cannot get the Housecalls episodes to play. This has happened before, but then sometimes it works. Anybody have any suggestions?? I am DYING to watch this weeks shows - especially today's w/ Kaysar!

I only get audio on the CBS site, but if I right click the mouse and choose Play in Real Player, I can get both audio and video. Hope this helps.

I second that! A big thank you to Brekkie for the updates!

Janelle telling Howie they need to stay on James good side in case he gets HOH. They need to let James believe they were convinced by the other side to nominate S&J.

Howie considering keeping James in, that he may be more trustworthy if he is not worried about Sarah

Howie tells Janelle about a fight between April and Ivette over the pawn change.

Janelle is very concerned about Eric returning, getting scared about the numbers.

James and Sarah alone in the GR

James wants Sarah to calm down because someone may be listening at the door and he wants Rachel and Howie to be relaxed.

They start a chess game.

J: I feel like a FGB eating that ice cream

S: FGB?

J: Fat greasy bastard.

Sarah eating ice cream, James takes some from her says it is half the box. He makes piggy sounds.

James going to get some ice cream, Sarah asks for some vanilla, he says I won't say anything but I would yell at you at home.

Ivette asks what it is, Sarah says my boyfriend thinks I'm fat.

Sarah says she has really bad eating habits at home.

Sarah asks Ivette why she said Maggie didn't convince them.

**FISH**

Ivette continues looking in the bible for something to share with S & J

James returns, Ivette says he could figure it out better.

James compares the amount of ice cream he took with what Sarah took, they joke about it.

Ivette still looking for a verse about how to pray.

Sarah asks can I have some dessert

J: Says you know exactly what I'm thinking

I: Should I leave?

James thanks Ivette for coming to talk with him without being concerned about what he would do if he became HOH.

Ivette commends herself on not using people or lying.

**FISH**

I: Eventually you've got to put your friends up. Everyone is focused on revenge.

James: And they are not playing strategy.

Sarah: If people were smart, they would take out people like me and Jennifer... the floaters.

Talk returns to the veto competition and the food competition of this past week.

James says who do you think is coming back.

I: I want it to be Eric

S: They made a big deal about Michael not getting a fair chance.

I: He was biting on my butt and he burped in my face.

Ivette says she felt he crossed the line but it was not sexual harrassment.

Sarah says we let others get away with it. J and I say Howie does it in a funny way but Michael did it in a creepy way.

Sarah tries to join the conversation, James tells her to calm down.

James says no one dies when they leave this place, Ivette says to me they die.

Whoever comes back, James feels it will be one more vote against him. Says its just a game.

I: Every move is being watched, and sometimes it comes back to bite you in the butt.

Without lying, without decieving, without hurting people I've got to do what I have to to stay in this house. The backstabbing would be the worst.

Sarah says they had a pact no matter what was said that their group was going to stand beside them.

Sarah is trying to go over the past and James is telling her to stop going over the past.

Sarah keeps talking about the HOH with Bocci balls, says they threw the contest so that the other side could evict Kaysar.

James says that is enough.

I: Eventually everybody gets fu**ed so you gotta sit back and wait for it.

I: Sometimes you want something so bad, you don't get it.

James thinks they want to get him so bad that they mess up. He says they should take off one week of targeting him and then maybe they'd relax and get him.

Ivette says if James was HOH Ivette would have been up against Maggie.

Sarah says no it would have been April and Maggie.

S: I believe the outside world people cannot believe they are being so mean to us, we didn't do anything.

I: You signed a paper that said they could do anything with us.

James says those people on the internet know everything, they watch 24 hours and see everything.

J: I don't want any apologies or anything from anybody at the wrap party. Just don't talk to me. I could be gone next week or the week after.

Sarah saying "those people" don't understand why we are sad . Its not because of the separation but because of the way they were treated.

**FISH**

J: I don't know if I have the strength to fight every single person every single week.

James says Sarah is what keeps him nice, and that they came after her to hurt him.

Ivette says she was a vote for him and help in veto comps.

I: If I got the veto I would say, you're only HOH for one week I would tell you I can't use the veto because I am going to be here next week. You would respect that.

Ivette asks James about the veto contest and what he would have done. James recounts the contest and what he thought, then Ivette recounts what she did.

J: As much as you think your side thinks as a team, they all want the glory and play as individual. Except you thought as a team.

Ivette continues to recount what she did to make sure James would not get the veto.

J: i don't understand why everyone hates me.

I: Its because of the different stories being said around the house, it upsets people.

James says he told people (Howie's side?) that he was still friends with Ivette and thats why they don't trust him.

Sarah enters to show James her T-shirt

Ivette speaking with James in Gold Room, saying she is just upset.

I: Too much of anything is not good, just being around these people are getting to me.

James recalling how they sat around the room in the beginning targeting the others (Ashlea, Michael, Kaysar and Janelle). But Kaysar figured it out and threw a monkey wrench in it.

James says now everyone is blaming him when it was Eric who went to Kayar.

Ivette says she is over the bible story and over the game and she doesn't care about the PBJ.

I: There's people here and little things get to them... If I get in trouble with BB, I don't like being called out, I'm a perfectionist. I just find there's other things to worry about, youknowwhat Imean.

To the guys you are a very big threat. If I was a guy I'd want the guys out.

J: Lets say next week you guys get HOH you target me then the other side gets it and they target me. You are missing the opportunity to get out other powerful players who do have allies.

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!! Mine too.

Been on fishes for a while

I think people are just happy that there was a shake up in the house. For two weeks in a row Cappy's alliance steamrolled the competition using what I feel was an unsustainable strategy. The beauty of this game is its unpredictability, a strong player often becomes the target so even people in there own alliance wait for their chance to dethrone them. Will the current power alliance last long enough to get rid of the others? Will Cappy's crew win HOH and who will they target? These are the questions that have me glued to BB this year and every year. I love the lying, backstabbing, and strategy. I always hate the bombastic bullies.

At least when Eric said he wouldn't put Kaysar up he didn't.

That was easy for him to do, because he never intended to put him up. He had his targets.

Eric said it himself that IF Michael or Janelle won the POV, then Kaysar was going on the block. The only reason Kaysar was not there is because James won it and let the nominations stand. It was Eric's intention to use Kaysar as a plan B, he was ready to evict Kaysar last week.

Ivette saying she has brain farts all the time. I don't think so because first you have to have a brain

He's done the impossible, Ivette is speechless!

I think it would be great that when they get down to the final three, if they are all singles, that their partners return to help them with the final competitions. The final competition would be between the two remaining couples at that point and have something to do with the puzzle pieces in the house. That way the team that wins would be #1 and #2 players. Also, they should get rid of the final no action week and have the voting within 2-3 days of the competition.
