The Oscars are over with no real surprises. I had hoped that more of the movies I had actually seen would have won, but at least Ratatouille won. Granted its biggest competition was Surf’s Up (the trailer was bad enough - how could this film even be nominated?
Much to my surprise an animated character actually did introduce an award. With the writers strike I thought it would be next to impossible for someone to write the lines and then draw the animation in the time. I feel cheated on that one. But in the end, it was a close call if the Oscars were to end on time. They came very close, but a bit over with the Best Picture winner - which was no surprise.
With Oscar gone - we can get back to the Oscar caliber performance on Big Brother 9. Last Wednesday we said goodbye, in memorandum, to Parker and Jen. Parker left without hugging Jen and shook Julie Chen’s hand first. He was so mad at being kicked off! The best performance of the week however went to Joshuah and Amanda who had perhaps the best acting/fight on Big Brother surpassing last years winner the “don’t smoke in my face” fight from Big Brother 8.
After the HoH competition, won by, James and Chelsia they nominated Alex and Amanda and Matt and Natalie for eviction. Their plan: get Alex and Amanda out of the house. In their minds they put up Matt and Natalie as a pawn believing that they would be too powerful for Alex and Amanda to overcome and they would ultimately be evicted from the house.
Their sights stayed strong after Joshuah and Sharon won the POV competition and chose not to use the power of veto. It is official - either Alex and Amanda or Matt and Natalie will be leaving the Big Brother house.
