Liveblogging Big Brother 9: Will The Gays Go Home In Week 1?

Last night on the premiere of Big Brother 9: Til Death Do You Part, gay house guests Neil Garcia and Joshuah Welch found out that according to Big Brother's super computer of gay match making from the future they would be paired up as "soul mates" and be forced to play the game together all season long. In a shocking twist, tonight one of the 8 teams will be eliminated.

Here's a frightening thought: Is there a chance the gays are going home tonight? Could Neiluah be gone before their reality celebrity name mash-up catches on or worse... before we get to see either of them in any state of undress? Tune in tonight as Big Brother Premiere Week continues.

9:00PM EST: HOH COMPETITION! Guest hosts Eric and Jessica (BB8) stroll into the backyard and I'm so thankful their season is over. He annoyed me beyond belief last summer. Today's game will test how well each couple has gotten to know each other over the past few days.

This game finally gave our boys some screentime. Neil opened his mouth for the first time (to say "Fabulous") and for a second I thought Christian from Project Runway was in the house... fierce! They seem to be having a lot of fun together, even if they're not doing so well in this Newlywed Game-style competition.

Here's a travesty... It took until 8:50 for one of our gays to get shirtless. Joshuah is a little softie, that's darn cute! In the end Alex and Amanda won HOH which means that sadly, Neiluah will not occupy the private Head of Household room this week.

So what do you guys think of Neil and Joshua? Do you think there's a love connection? Together do they comprise a team that can manipulate their way to the $500k prize? Talk about it in the comments section.

Don't forget that the next episode of Big Brother 9 will air Sunday night at 8/7c. Until then head on over to Neil and Joshuah's MySpace pages to get to know them a little better (and see pics like this one from Neil below).

8:38PM EST: Sheila is being tortured, i'm sure of it. Not only is her partner an insensitive ass, he's a super snorer. I pray that Big Brother set her up. Sheila's totally a woman on the verge.

The house guests just found out that it's EVICTION DAY! Two hamsters are going home right here, right now! If I hear Neil or Joshuah's name called I will fly to Los Angeles tonight to crack some skulls.

Luckily Jen keeps referring to a "she" so I'm pretty sure Neiluah is safe. Sharon and High Pitch Jacob are the first couple to leave the Big Brother 9 house. See ya!

NEILUAH will play for another week at least. Let's hope that Sunday night they'll get a little screentime.

8:30PM EST: We're back and Snakegate continues. Sharon lies and tells Parker that Ryan was the one who called him a snake because she knows that if her partner goes home she does as well. Jen and Parker are in the hammock and he just told her what Sharon said about HER boyfriend. Girl is going to have to expose her relationship and quick! Secrets Out!

Ryan just had to tell Allison and she's not taking it as well as Parker is. First she's pissed that her "soul mate" is already taken and she point blank confessed that he would be better with her. OMG, it's Fatal Attraction. That hamster in the living room needs to watch his little furry behind. Hide the pots!

8:20PM EST: It's our first glimpse of skin! Alex is the first one to be shown shirtless and he looks good. I believe that he and Amanda are sharing a room with Neil and Joshuah who are fawning over the possible connection between Alex and Amanda. Couldn't they throw us a bone and let us in on whether or not Neil and Joshuah are getting along.

Outside the game play is getting serious. Jacob's trying to turn people against Parker by calling him a snake and Jen makes a B-Line to Joshuah to gossip. Is he the gossip of the house? At least that will guarantee him some screentime.

Parker calls Jacob out and a late night house meeting turns the drama up big time. While they scream at each other I'd like to talk about how every girl obviously loves Joshuah. First Jen ran and confided in him and now Sharon is sitting on his lap while her ex-bf tries to back himself out of the ditch he dug himself. Adorable.

8:10PM EST: BB recaps the highlights of last nights premiere - blah blah blah... I have a feeling that Adam and Sheila were paired up for drama instead of love. There is no way that Cougar and that Amazon are a match.

Parker just compared his pairing with Jen to the Hollywood super couple Brad and Angelina. Hold on while I compose myself, I'm choking with laughter.

Adam just mentioned that he works with disabled individuals and referred to them as the R word. Obviously his strategy is to win people over with his wit and charm. How is it that Sheila is looking like the sane one in that coupling?

Allison is trying to hit on Ryan and it's too funny considering that his girlfriend is four feet away giving her a stare that would make Damages' Patty Hewes (Glenn Close) proud. Jen needs to toughen up or she's going to bust out a knife and go all Will Mega on someone. Chill girl.

Time for a commercial break and still no sign of Neiluah. Boooooooo.

7:45PM EST: I've been trying to avoid spoiler sites all day long but its killing me because I'm dying to see some screencaps from the livefeeds. I've heard from a friend that someone's already stripped down on camera but I have a feeling it's neither of our boys Joshuah or Neil. In a couple minutes The Chenbot will bepowered up so we can find out which couple is going home tonight!
