'Big Brother 9': tears and meltdowns

Last night's Big Brother was actually pretty interesting.

Poor James was seemingly undone by the departure of Chelsia and was feeling pretty bad, so Sheila gave him a pep talk about how he should get his head back in the game. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, she was talking with Natalie and others about how they had to get rid of James, and when someone suggested he might be able to overhear, she said she didn't care.

He did overhear, and he went on a screaming crying rampage at her. But it was really difficult to take him seriously since he was not wearing pants.

Realizing the whole house was (still) against him, James focused again on the POV competition. When that came around, he won his third consecutive veto and infuriated the rest of the house.

Joshuah realized that Sharon was going to go on the block with him, and that he would most likely get voted out, and then: more tears. He cried and Sharon cried, and even Sheila cried. 

Then another very Big Brother moment: Sharon ran to the bathroom to cry, and Sheila ran to comfort her. They talked about how sad it was that Joshuah would be leaving, but that he was such a good person, and he wants this win for Sharon, and lots of other nice, stoic things about awesome he is. Meanwhile, Joshuah pulled himself together and went upstairs to cut a deal with Natalie, telling her he would have her back for two weeks if she voted Sharon out instead. Meanwhile, Sharon and Sheila cried. Then Joshuah ran around and secured the two votes he needs -- Ryan and James.

Cold! But oh-so-BB

Of course between then and tonight's live eviction, things could change. But it made for good TV last night.
