'Big Brother': words broken all over the place

I just caught up with last night's eventful Big Brother (after three and a half hours of AI and DWTS, I was all tapped out).

Oh, James.

I get that he wants "sweet revenge" on the people in the house who voted him out (he got voted back in on a twist on last week's live show), but he's so easily led. He knew that three people voted against his return to the house, and Ryan and Sheila told him straight-up that they were two of them. Matt was the third, but he decided to lie about it, which made Adam mad, which mad Adam sound unhinged when he tried to tell James he'd voted to bring him back, which made James not trust him. (Yeesh, hope you followed that one.)

Sheila, on the block and trying desperately to save herself, told James that Adam was flying under the radar and untrustworthy and probably voted against him. James got all riled up about putting Adam on the block instead, but thankfully Sharon told him rightfully that Matt cast that third unknown vote. (She'd guessed it, but Natalie's pathetic lies to try to turn attention away from Matt sealed it for her.)

So at POV, James removed Sheila from the block and put up Matt.

Which is all well and good, but he pontificated for five years and didn't mention that the main reason was that Matt LIED ABOUT THE VOTE. Since James has spent so much time and energy discussing his word and how horrendous everyone else is for not following their word, he just looks ridiculous for breaking his promise to Natalie and putting up Matt. (Well, even more ridiculous than his pink-hawk or bow tie tattoo already make him look, but I digress.)

So what will go down tonight? No matter who stays or who goes, there is still a lot of drama that could unfold. Natale is peeved, it's inevitable that Adam will find out that Sheila sold him out, and it won't be pretty no matter what.

Huh. Who would have thought this season was going to get semi-interesting?
