I thought Natalie had it, but at the end she couldn't take the spinning anymore. She said she felt like she was going to vomit. She made a last second deal with James to not put her or Matt on the block. They didn't discuss details like post-POV-ness. But James said he was going to keep his word. Natalie dropped and did in fact immediately throw up.
She's sad b/c she wanted HOH so much. But she seems to have finally earned a hug from Matty, and another promised massage. We'll see if he keeps his word.
And James is the second BB9er to go from evicted to HOH.
