Another Fight! Big Brother 9 - Shelia and Allison at Odds

The house blows up into another huge fight when Shelia and Allison get into it with each other. Natalie came to Shelia to let her know that people were going around the house talking about her and her yeast infection. As Shelia has only discussed her female issue with Allison, she assumes Allison has turned on her and has been going around behind her back saying things about her. The way the whole thing came about is almost comical, if it were not so sad.

The evening prior to the fight, February 21, 2008, James was in the bathroom and he ran across Shelia's Monistat yeast infection medication. It freaked him out and he told the guys about finding it. For the rest of the night, the only subject the men seemed to talk about was Shelia's yeast infection.

After dinner on February 22, Natalie, Shelia and Adam are in one of the bedrooms talking about Allison. Allison and Joshuah happen to be in the bedroom next door. There is a small hole in the wall between the two bedrooms and Joshuah tries to listen in to the conversation.

Natalie says that she is livid because Allison has been manipulative the entire game. Natalie wants to confront Allison, but Amanda happens upon the room just in time to hear her say that. Amanda tells her not to say anything until after the Veto Ceremony because Amanda is convinced that Joshuah and Sharon will use it.

Natalie and Shelia both want to go upstairs and tell James and Chelsia that Allison is talking trash about them, even though she has not been. They think they can convince them to put Allison and Ryan on the block when Joshuah and Sharon use the Veto.

After Adam and Amanda calm them enough to prevent them from starting any controversy, Natalie and Shelia just lie on the bed together quietly.

Allison and Ryan go to the HOH room to let James and Chelsia know that Shelia is going crazy. Allison encourages the group to evict Matt and Natalie so that they could get rid of Shelia's ally, Natalie.

While Allison and Ryan are relaying this in the HOH room, Shelia and Matt are in the storage room where Shelia is ranting about Allison. She is angry because she believes Allison turned on her. Sharon is outside of the storage room, listening through the door. Sharon suddenly darts upstairs so fast that she is winded by the time she gets there.

Sharon was trying to get there fast because Shelia was having Matt come up there to start stuff. Sharon tells everyone what Shelia and Matt were saying.

Meanwhile, Matt escaped from Shelia into the bathroom. He had no intention of going upstairs to start anything.

Shelia keeps ranting to everyone downstairs and Adam tells Shelia that if she is going to start stuff, she should just go ahead and talk to Allison. Shelia said that Allison best stay out of her way. Shelia leaves Adam to go talk to Natalie. She tells Natalie that if Allison comes around her, there will be a war.

This whole thing is over a yeast infection. Shelia believes that Allison has been going around telling people she has a yeast infection when Allison has not said anything to that effect. It was actually the guys who discovered the fact and amused themselves for hours talking and joking about it. The thing is, Shelia does not discover how her yeast infection became a topic of conversation within the house.

Natalie went to tell Matt that she wants to confront Allison, but he said "Not while we are on the block." He told her that yelling at someone while you are on the block will send you home. Josh is in the room with them and Shelia comes in and starts ranting about Allison to all three of them.

Josh asked Shelia why she was so hostile and she told him it was because Allison was running her mouth about her yeast infection and other things. Shelia never clarified the "other things" she kept alluding to. Josh suggested to her that Allison might be trying to put some distance between them because they look like they are too close. Shelia does not buy into his suggestion and Josh finds himself completely amused by the whole thing.

Josh went up to the HOH room to tell everyone there how ticked Shelia was. Josh told them something shocking. Shelia has been "Spilling Allison's game plan" and telling everyone about the plan to get Matt and Natalie out because of the slop thing. They had previously talked about the possibility of keeping Alex and Amanda and evicting Matt and Natalie this week because Alex and Amanda were on slop this week and would be weak during the next HOH Competition. Allison insisted that she never told Shelia any of that. They realized that Adam had been there for that conversation and that he must have told Shelia. They have never included Shelia in their "Operation Condor" conversations, just Adam.

Josh told them that everyone downstairs is mad at Allison, thinking she lied to them and used them. He laughed as he told them that he had been asked to use the Veto and get Allison and Ryan nominated. Josh says that he is not using the Veto because he cannot trust the votes.

Allison said that she is just going to go try to talk to Shelia. Josh suggested she wait until Shelia approached her, but Allison wanted to deal with it now.

At five in the evening, the fight broke out.

Allison approached Shelia calmly and told her that she wanted to discuss whatever Shelia's issue with her was. Shelia told her that she had been going around telling everyone that she had a yeast infection. Allison denied it. Shelia wanted to know how everyone found out about it. Allison told her that she and Ryan had just discussed it before she came to talk to her and he said that Sheila had told Jen, so it had to have been Jen who did it because she never told one person. Shelia told her that she could bring in all the girls who have said they heard her talking about it. Allison said "That's fine." (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwPicXWb5NQ).

Shelia brought up Allison going around telling people she was an actress because of the crying episode. Sheila said that even though the whole thing was an act, "Those tears were real.. Those were real tears for you." When Allison told Shelia that she had warned her that the whole thing was going to come back around and "Bite you in the butt." Shelia said "You warned ME?" Things began to become more heated as Shelia tells Allison that everything she has done has been for Allison. Sheila added "You owe me. You owe me and Adam. We're the ones who took you off the _____ block." Allison looks at her in disbelief and questions "What? What? What?"

Allison asked "So why are you angry?" Shelia said "Because the minute you got off the _____ block, you've been treating me like _____." Allison questions her about it and Shelia says that Allison has been talking down to her. Things get progressively worse and more mean-spirited.

Ryan and Adam have had enough and walk into the room with Ryan jumping in to defend Allison (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffs3lKRq_ik). Ryan went off on Shelia and his defense of Allison and said "You flipped out for no reason Shelia. You flipped out for no reason." Shelia was getting angry with Adam for not defending her like Ryan was defending Allison and he screamed at her that she was making them both look bad. What she was doing was hurting him. Everything blew up into a four way screaming match with three against one.

Amanda wanted to get her name out of the whole fight, so she asked Allison to go back into the room and talk to Shelia with her. Amanda twisted everything and Allison left the room angry with Amanda. (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ROvgT_oEuE). Amanda stayed in the room trying to clear her name and let Shelia vent to her about the whole fight (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7IQjflfUo0).

After the emergencies where Amanda and Allison are both taken to the hospital, Sheila and Allison sit down and have a heart to heart discussion, apologize and forgive each other (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsZ85ZFePNI). Allison coming near death put everything into perspective for both of them.
