Big Brother 10 Blog

Yes. I watched on Sunday….and I still have a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. How did Adam win Big Brother 9. Either he is the smartest player to ever play Big Brother or he just was always “never a threat” and people thought he was just window dressing the whole season.

All I know is after the first episode….I was NOT an Adam and Sheila fan. In fact, I am still wondering if the house is kicking themselves for not getting rid of them early in the game. I know that initially it seemed like that would happen and part of me is a little sad it didn’t. We would have had a much different ending to Season 9. The final 3 would have been Ryan and 2 other house guests and for sure a different ending.

So was Adam deserving? The easy answer is yes. He won. He lasted to the end and was able to get the Jury to side with him.

As far as the finale, it was nice seeing old house guests in the crowd. It was nice to see the first house guests who were eliminated and everyone all getting back together.

So here is where I believe CBS really drops the ball…why do they not have another hour to the show (or even 30 minutes) to talk with the house guests and get their take from what all happened. I do understand that the final 2 would have been cut off from the world and to thrust them into a live TV show setting after leaving the house would be a little tough….but still…I think the fans should be able to hear from the house guests about their experience.

Overall, it was an interesting season. I give props to CBS for trying something new with the pairing them up as couples angle…..however, I think it was not as well received due to the success of Big Brother 8 and the generic feel to all the personalities in the house. They were all young and single and looking for love (which makes sense however it did not make for very good Big Brother watching).

So here is where I am….Big Brother 9 is done. I am looking forward to Big Brother 10. I am going to make sure the blog is back and better than ever with some new features. (that I cannot share with you quite yet but they are AWESOME!)

It was not the “suprise of the season” like some thought it could be. It was supposed to be setup to be a “Dustin II” but it was far from it. When Julie Chen read Joshuah’s name as the evicted house guest, he nodded, stood up and shared what was on his heart. At first I thought it was lame but after thinking more, it was a classy way to go. Much differnet than Chelsia’s exodus from the game.

The vote was 3-1. I guess I was surprised that James voted for Sharon but as he showed in his goodbye tape and in hugging Joshuah before he left…he did lose a friend and part of his alliance tonight.

So…any one else guess that not only would the remain “couple” be Adam and Shelia? Plus with Adam being HoH…I am thinking they will still be together in the final 5. If Adam was smart (and I am STILL trying to give him the benefit of the doubt on that) he would start really partnering with Sheila and they will be the final 2. Ironic since after the first episode I would have said they were both done right away. Crazy how this game toys with our thoughts…

So with Adam my guess is James is a man who will have to do anything to survive. Will they nominate him or just try to back door him with the Veto.

Should be an interesting week!

As the season winds down, consider signing up for the feeds. They are FREE for 14 days and as long as you cancel them before day 15 you will not be charged! Click on the large banner at the top of the site to hook yourself up.

So what do you think will happen next? Will the ladies team up and go after the guys? Will James and Sharon pull off an upset? Will Adam do anything productive during his week of being HoH?

Big Brother 9 is still going….what do you think will happen next?

Peace, BBBlogger

Isn’t that a movie? No wait….that is James and the Giant Peach! Alas our person that people say is the strongest player and who should be the target to get out of the house is safe from tonights vote! Winning the Power of Veto in dramatic fashion over Shelia and Ryan who looked like a couple of crazies after James played them and walked away with POV. I loved the edited in commentary of James. It was too classic!

So tonight someone will be leaving. It will be either Sharon or Joshuah. I am 50/50 on this one.

So who do you want to see out? Who do you want to see stay? Who should win the next HoH and will it be a double elimination tonight?

All will be known tonight. Please join us in the Big Brother Blog Chat room at http://www.big-brother-blog.com/chat/flashchat.php and watch along with us. I would say there will be drinks but since this is the internet….it is Bring Your Own!

Chelsia is quite the firecracker! She decided to use her 5-0 eviction to let everyone know what she was thinking…

I have to admit, for an outcome that all of us saw coming a mile away (you did not really think Sharon was in danger did you??) it sure was still entertaining to watch.

Between mashing up a bowl of hard boiled easter eggs to telling Shelia she had been “rode hard and put away wet” on live TV while she was walking out the door. WOW!

I found Chelsia to be cute and fun to watch but it was her time to go….and you the readers agreed.

Now James…man…I seem to keep going back and forth…I think he is a great player then I see him vote to evict his girlfriend, soul mate, love interest, partner in the game. I am not sure why he voted to evict her? Strategy wise it makes no sense at all. I must have missed a subplot somewhere. I guess the whole she voted for me so I am going to vote for her is probably it…but he also seemed to not like her self destructive behavior. I also found it interesting that Chelsia said she was sad that James came back? Ironic!

After her dramatic exodus from the house they played a weird politically themed game of who would…and Nat was able to finish first.

Natalie, Natalie, Natalie….she is quite the character. It is tough not to love her…she is so all over the board and yet still doing very well in this game. I think she is representing the Beaver State very well. I am confident that James is a target…it would be smart for her to set him up to be back doored but who knows what will happen. Guess we will find out soon enough.

Who should Nat target? Who should win? Do you still think James is a strong player or now that Chelsia is gone is his days numbered as well? Let us know what you think Big Brother Blog readers…the floor is yours!

Peace, BBBlogger

Big Brother 9 continues to roll on and James is becoming quite the unstoppable force in the BB9 house. Our poll over the past week also shows that most who read this blog agree with over 1/3 of the votes saying he IS the strongest player. Winning POV and removing himself from the block leaving his girlfriend Chelsia to remain and hope that the rest of the houseguests will show Sharon the boot instead.

The best part of tonights episode was the return of the Evil one himself Dick Donato came back to host the POV in which was a pivital one in the BB8 show. It was fun. My favorite comment by far was when he stated that he was using the “EXACT SAME POT” he used from last fall. Too funny. It was nice seeing him back in the house…he looked right at home and it was fun to watch the POV tonight.

So with all of that James is safe and going to be gunning for the HoH once either Sharon or Chelsia leave the house. Has Chelsia thrown in the towel and accepted that fact that she will probably be gone tomorrow night? Or will Sharon be this weeks victim of eviction?

The Big Brother Blog’s diary room is open. Who do you want to see leave? Who do you want to stay? Who will win HoH and change the game again for another week.

Peace, BBBlogger (anyone seen SoonerRyan??)

What if I told you that at 9:20 p.m. BBT the houseguest who was evicted tonight stood a good chance of becoming the next HoH?

Confused?

Join the club!

By a vote of 5 to 1, Crazy Gay Porn James was evicited. He walked out the door and was promptly told he might very well be returning. See, in Big Brother’s infinite wisdom (sarcasm), producers decided to have the houseguests choose between James and the evicted houseguest for whom America voted.

Those houseguests voted 5 to 3 for James to return, bringing former soulmate Chelsia to tears. Hell, she was in tears before this and had been on a rampage relative to his potential ouster the past several days.

See, the plan to evict Matty was ditched in favor of a plan to evict the former soulmate of the person who used the Power of Veto this week, Chelsia. The subsequent plan resulted in the 5 to 1 vote.

Ryan, Matt and Sheila each voted to bring in the mystery houseguest, which would have been Alex. (Parker finished second.) The others voted for James in a version of, “Pick the devil you know or the devil you don’t.”

On one hand, I see this as an interesting ploy by producers given how the vote happened. The houseguests made the more interesting choice strategically given that there is no way James will or can trust anybody but Chelsia.

On the other hand, this type of backtracking on the part of reality TV producers is foolhardy given that they did not follow through on America’s request. Give us a chance to vote on something and then pull it from under us, and you’re left with some pissed fans. It’s like we were evicted.

But all in all, I’m neither here nor there about this. The twist to the twist tonight was one of the stranger moments in Big Brother history, and the endurance competition is happening right now with James and Natalie hanging from a giant, swinging disco ball in one of those beautiful endurance challenges.

I have some news for our movie star, James, though. That disco ball is awfully similar to a stripper pole, and Natalie is quite comfortable dangling from it. It’s hard to say what will happen over the next few hours (watch the feeds!), but I will be stunned if Natalie loses this.

And then, will she proceed as a woman scorned, working to oust Matty … or will continue to allow the Boston roofer to pull her strings?

And if James somehow wins this sucker, will he automatically attack former HoH Ryan, or will he have a more strategic consideration?

Anyhoo, what say you? Was this a good move on Big Brother’s part? My gut hunch is that it was kind of a letdown … but what do I know?!

Mark down the date and time. As of March 5 at 7:30 p.m. CST, Big Brother 9 finally breathed life.

The couples are dead. Only one person went home tonight. And what the houseguests do not know is that another person will be returning.

Houseguests will be playing the game as individuals from here on out, it appears. This is the way Big Brother was meant to be played. Mano a mano. Mental combat. Each man for himself.

While my personal feelings about the game are generally not relevant, I have had a hard time getting into the season with the couples concept. Don’t like it. In fact, I hated it. Sure, I love twists, but Big Brother is the ultimate individual’s game in that it requires people to be selfish.

Even if you’re a philanthropist, you must be selfish to win Big Brother.

You could be a missionary, and you will have to be selfish to win Big Brother.

And, I love it. Literally, I got chills when the siren sounded, and you know the house was loving it, even though they had no idea what was happening. Matt jumped into James’ arms. James liked it, much to Matt’s surprise.

The only people to look disappointed about the developments were Joshuah and Sharon, and I think it’s that they looked nervous. As HoH, you want your targets gone, and the news that only one of the evicted couple would be leaving must have put them into mental overdrive.

By a vote of 6 to 0, Allison was evicted. However, she will not return home. She will be kept isolated, and America will vote for one of the evicted houseguests to return to the Big Brother house.

Personally, I will be deciding among Alex, Amanda and Allison. My case for each:

Alex — nice guy. Got screwed by being Amanda’s partner. I predict he will be returning to the house.

Amanda — smoking hot. Sorry. There is something very Fran Drescher about her, and I know I just creeped two-thirds of you out.

Allison — now, let me make my case. How messed up would it be to send the person just evicted by a vote of 6 to 0 back into the house to wreak havoc on all of them?

Yes, I think Alex will go back because he’s a nice guy, like Kaysar was in his return several years ago. However, I think Allison is how I will vote because it would be relatively twisted.

And speaking of twisted, Ryan won the HoH competition, becoming the first single HoH. Well, he’s not single; his girlfriend is in isolation.

Oh, how sweet would it be to put Jen back in the house and force her to play against Ryan. Sure, I know that this type of familiarity gave Dick and Daniele an advantage last season; however, I’m not convinced Ryan and Jen are meant to be forever and ever.

So many possibilities! And, did you see the freaking hamster superimposed onto the TV screen during the HoH competition? What was that about?

Too much to talk about at once. However, may I issue my personal thank you to CBS, to Big Brother, Allison Grodner, etc. etc. etc. for doing the right thing and killing this couples baloney. I’m willing to let bygones be bygones and am excited for the rest of the season.

Game $%^&#@ ON!

Who’s excited about the twist?

That’s right, at the end of Big Brother 9’s weekly eviction show, Julie Chen noted that the evicted couple next week will find out something that will forever change the house and start a new chapter. Yada, yada, yada.

I don’t think it’s as simple as CBS producers reverting to a single-player game. Not sure what it is, but I’m thinking. I’m thinking.

We think at this point that it will not involve Alex or Amanda, given that they were evicted 3 to 0. As you might recall, Mattie and Natalie campaigned pretty hard, and while Amanda did her part — Alex left it up to fate.

After their eviction, Alex noted that his partner’s words probably were the reason they got nominated but that his lack of effort in campaigning was probably the reason they’re headed home.

Like I noted earlier this week, I’m starting to feel better about the season as a whole. A lot of that sentiment centers on the hope that next week, with the twist, it starts getting really good. However, some of it centers on the fact that there was some real strategy in choosing to keep Matt and Natalie over Alex and Amanda.

Given how much of a pushover Alex has been over the last three days and that, as Allison noted, they were weak from eating slop, I think it was a mistake not to oust Matt and Natalie now. It’s like Charlie Brown and Lucy. In each show, she pulls out that darned football, and our bald-headed beloved blockhead falls on his arse, right?

Should have ended Matt and Natalie while you could.

From a cerebral and possibly hemorrhoidal perspective, Crazy Gay Porn James and Chelsia are perhaps the players to beat right now. Seriously, they’re playing a smart game, I think. And they did eliminate one of the early favorites sooner rather than later.

But as couples, the rest of these turkeys are just filler. Ryan and Allison have no shot. Neither do Sheila and Adam.

What will be interesting is how Joshuah and Sharon perform as the new HoH couple. They won in a competition focused on quotes about love from notorious authors such as Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Oscar Wilde and William “Billy the Kid” Shakespeare.

Unfortunately for Josh and Sharon, they blabbed about having memorized all the quotes all around the house. Dude, I was seriously thinking this duo might be the most literate in Big Brother history! I’ve never seen a player jump up and down and get all worked up over being able to answer an academic bowl-type of question. And Sharon even pronounced Goethe right!

To be honest, on one hand, the excitement of what the twist might be gets me a bit revved up for what’s to come after this week. But what does it mean for this week?

On one hand, this week could be pivotal, like that first spot in the sequester house. On the other hand, if people start reentering the house, this might be a throw-away.

What do you think the twist is? What do you want it to be?

By a vote of 3 to 1, Jen and Parker were evicted on Wednesday. Just like we thought.

However, might the Big Brother 9 house actually be more interesting right now with Jen and Parker gone? As of midnight, Ryan and Crazy James were being joined by bug-eyed Adam on the smoking porch discussing Operation Condor.

The OC seems to be a plan to get Alex and Amanda (because of the latter, not the former) out of the house. This plan might also include the eviction of Matt and Natalie, but I’m not down with all the specifics.

What I do know is that the three guys are smoking their li’l heads off and discussing this master plan, all the while giggling from sweet alcoholic intoxication. In James’ case, it might be that he’s celebrating his and Chelsia’s HoH win.

They won via a game of guessing what the majority of houseguests would say to a series of questions related to what they collectively could do without. Would you rather have hot food or hot water? Breakfast in bed or the women cooking for you? Would you rather be forced to wear clothes your soulmate picks out or wear bathing trunks?

The consequence of James and Chelsia’s victory is that the house will be bikini-laden with no hot water and women cooking all the food for the next 72 hours. The secondary consequence of their victory is that it looks like Alex and Amanda are getting nominated.

In real-time, those nominations happen tomorrow morning. Be sure to tune back here for spoilers, which we’ll keep hidden on an inner page.

The plan seems to be to nominate Alex and Amanda and pair somebody against them so that Matt and Natalie can be backdoored if necessary. At this point, it seems like that second couple could be Joshuah and Sharon or Adam and Sheila.

Speaking of Sheila, she did blow up at Adam again, although I couldn’t remember why for sure. What I do know is that Adam was asserting her insanity on the Big Brother smoking porch, noting that she needs to “stay on her meds.”

What Adam might not know is all the hubbub relative to his comments about autistic children being retarded. I do believe he referred to retards in an earlier episode, and that has activists all aflutter because previous Big Brother contestants in other countries have been booted for unpolitically correct speech.

We’re learning more and more about Adam, and although he’s creepy and high strung, he is also sort of entertaining. The “retard” comment was him shooting off some idiocy for the sake of idiocy, and I suspect that’s just his nature, not meant as a slight toward anybody. In fact, I think he was purposefully trying to peeve off Sheila.

It worked, and deservedly so. However, this is the nature of their relationship. If Adam could only work his Operation Condor magic on her.

The other part of the guys’ conversation early Thursday addressed their relationship relative to the game. They called it the “bro show,” and if at some point BB9 goes to an every man for himself proposition, Ryan, Crazy James and Adam could make a formidable threesome.

All in all, not terribly exciting yet. But they’re drunk, so turn on the live feeds tonight if at all possible. I’ll post a clip from the guys’ conversation tomorrow, as well as other feeds, once we know the noms.
