'Big Brother' Recap: Confronting Natalie

Clearly, Natalie began second-guessing her decision, thus her move to form an alliance with the gals — which ultimately got back to the boys and prompted Adam and Ryan to call out her duplicity. I speak about last night's bathroom encounter in which the guys — angered that Natalie was clearly working both sides — decided to convene a house meeting in the bathroom while Natalie was coloring her roots. I'd never be caught dead taking a bottle of Clairol to my head, but damn if Natalie didn't look like the picture of calm, applying that kohl dye to her fading locks while Ryan outed her for aligning with Sharon and Sheila. Just once, I'd like to hear a player say, ''You're damn right I was covering my butt — so what of it? This is a game, mister, and you do what you can to survive. I'm playing to win, just like you. I'm sorry if I happen to actually do it better.'' Nat kinda did that, I s'pose. She didn't deny any of Ryan's accusations — which clearly caught the boys off guard — and she fought back by saying how Sharon was working both sides as well. Only when the boys came back to chastise her again, sans the girls, did Natalie finally break down and profess her loyalty. This is obviously what the boys were after, since they weren't entirely sure whether to boot her — but Ryan sent her packing anyway (Adam, that weenie, voted to evict Sharon instead, which forced Sheila to break the tie and look like the bad guy for sending Nat packing).

Did they make the right decision, BB fans? In an idealistic world where everything is fair and honest and we're all size 4s, it's always nice to take someone with you to the final two who really deserves to be there. But BB isn't a perfect world; it's a game in which you have a better chance of winning the cash if it's down between you and someone hideous, and there isn't anyone more hideous this season than the bikini barista from Oregon. Did Ryan and Sheila make the right decision by sending Nat to the jury house?

Some other random thoughts: I thought last night's episode was brilliantly edited up until the eviction ceremony, when Sharon's half-ass goodbye speech was a clear indicator that Natalie would be going. Either that, or Sharon is just plain dumb. She missed a key opportunity to remind Adam and Ryan that Natalie had betrayed them and totally deserved to go, but instead, Sharon said for the bazillionth time that she was damn glad to be here and… Oh God, I'm already bored just repeating it. I seriously hope she's gone on Thursday. And James' stock with me took a major nosedive when he blamed Chelsia's exit rant for his eviction last week. Man up, dude; Chelsia wasn't the one who back-doored Matty — it was all you, and Team Christ never forgave you for it. I never really liked Chelsia (and clearly, neither did those of you who inexplicably accuse her of having a ''fat girl haircut''), but she didn't deserve James' wrath.

So what did you think? Do you think Sharon was robbed of the HOH win because of that lame guinea pig question? Can Ryan answer a question from the Chenbot without having to use the phrase "you know" at least 30 times? And what, on earth, is going on with Adam's mouth? If his lips aren't quivering, he's constantly clenching his teeth in this forced, creepy grin! Answers, please.
