11:02pm And we're off! We're starting off with just 11 possibilities. How quickly will we get to the matchup ceremony?
11:04pm "She's going to be upset." Good prediction. Kayla can't keep the smile off her face.
11:05pm A lot of people throwing around the word "bitch."
11:06pm Shanley does know they can be together after the show is over, right? Especially if they don't get a million dollars. And she doesn't have to sleep with everyone else!
11:07pm Wow, Paige is so positive! Haven't really seen this side of her, but maybe it's because the confessionals are filmed after a couple days on the honeymoon island. (And her outfit is nice and colorful.)
11:09pm Shanley does NOT know how to play this game. Of course you have to send people to the truth booth! She doesn't know how to accept an apology, either.
11:15pm Whoa!! What happened to Jess?? Just going crazy. And now she's igniting Kayla. Such a wave of emotion rippling through the house. Like literally you can't let him have a second with someone else?
11:16pm Note: the mtv.com headline for this episode is "There will be tears."
11:18pm Scali with the hit-and-run. It worked just how he planned. That didn't even look enjoyable.
11:19pm Remember, the event that triggered this domino effect was a perfect match. Exactly what they're all working towards!
11:23pm The Chrises are really bonding. Dillan and Coleysia disappeared immediately after they matched, and meanwhile basically a whole episode has elapsed without Chris T and Paige leaving the house.
11:25pm Both Chris S (9.1%) and John (63.6%) are still in play for Jacy. But Chris S and Brittany are definitely not a match... mathematically, although this Boston - Brooklyn thing seems to be matching up about as well as the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade.
11:29pm How many outfits are we going to see Chris T in this episode?
11:30pm Joey speaks with his eyes.
11:36pm Big time juxtaposition between Dillan-Coleysia and Chris T-Paige.
11:42pm Wes came into this matchup ceremony ready to fight!

11:49pm That outburst of laughter between Ryan, Wes, and Joey came off like a movie deleted scene.

11:58pm No new perfect matches, but the blog assistance post is up for those of you who follow that track.
12:02am Since they stretched out this week into two episodes, that either means there'll be more than 10 episodes, or they guess it in week 9.
