Joshuah leaves with his head held high…and Baller repeats as HoH!
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

I was SO happy to see Josh leave tonight. I think that he is very arrogant and thought that he was untouchable. I feel really bad for Sharon because once she leaves that house and watches the shows she is going to see Josh for who he really is. She is going to see all the smack he talked about her in the DR. She really cared about him and he was just usuing her. He is a PRICK!! I died laughing last week when he told ED that he has been told that he is the gay version of him and ED said “Funny, I’ve only heard you say that!” That was so funny!!
So I am kind of feeling bad for James right now!! Call me crazy because I have been with the rest of you…up unitl last night’s episode. I do feel bad for him that he has nobody. And what Shelia did to him!! He was really hurt about that and I kind of had a soft spot for him!! Plus, James will never have an easy week in the house!!! He will either have to win HOH or POV, EVERY WEEK!! He is playing this game hard and deserves to win, in my opinion!! However, I like Ryan and Adam and wouldn’t mind seeing either one of them winning either. Wouldn’t be crazy though if Shelia ended up being the winner of the whole thing????
So those are a few of my thoughts right now on BB9. Quick question…can anyone tell me when BB10 starts? I heard that it is almost immediately after BB9!! Any help on that would be greatly appreciated!!! Have a great week watching BB and I look forward to reading all of your comments!!!

Well one down sad to see Josh leave cause he does bring laughter in the house, now we need James and Sharon GONE, but I hope they are smart and don’t put James on the block right away but backdoor his butt so he don’t get the chance to win pov and remove himself, but this game is rigged I think for James to win it, a sympathy vote from BB cause he’s riding a bike around the world between making porn with men and begging for food and a stranger to let him sleep overnight on their couch while he’s riding his bikey.
James & Sharon have had an alliance with each other sinse day one, she is a mole/rat just creeping around the house listening to conversations so she can report to James.
She never really had anything to do with the idiot Sheila until now when she started backstabbing Josh, but little did she know that josh was doing the same thing with her, did anybody notice when he was walking out the door and Sharon told him she loved him, he didn’t say one word back to her.
My wish for who goes out next is 1) Sharon, 2) James 3) Sheila
If the finale is 4/29 on a Tuesday, as I read then that leaves only 3 more evictions 4/9 and 4/16 and 4/23 and as of today there is 6 left so there has to be a double eviction somewhere before the finale on 4/29 to leave final 2 in the house, and sinse Julie didn’t mention it for next weeks eviction then it has to be between the final 2 weeks Wed. to Wed. unless BB extends the game, the HG’s thinks the finale is May 3rd. don’t know where they got that sinse 5/3 is a Saturday and they are not on CBS on Saturdays, and they don’t have evictions on Showtime.

I don’t know what everyone has against Natalie. I think that she is a very good player she proved that she can win competitions and she’s not scared to put up who she wants to as she showed that in the nominations. So for everyone to keep saying that she doesn’t have a backbone. They need to think again. I couldn’t stand her at first now she is the one that I’m rooting on every week because I would love to see her go all the way
Star said,
April 3, 2008 @ 5:26 am
Josh’s leaving was no surprise to me. And even though all the HG’s tried to make him THINK he was staying, I think he knew it too.(since his speech was obviously practiced.) I will miss him a bit for entertainment value but he did have to go. Keeping him over Sharon would have made James stronger and since he is everyone’s primary target, they did the right thing! I do worry if they dont backdoor him he will win the Veto yet AGAIN tho. I think the other HG’s will protest being put up on the block as pawns and if they do I dont think Adam is strong or smart enuough to go against them!
This game could go any number of ways from here. I think Natalie will talk a girls’ alliance but will stay true to Ryan and Adam….which is probably her best bet to get F3. As for who wins, it s anyone’s guess..what about this season has made sense?? JAMES could even surprise us all, even tho that is my worst case scenario. I don’t like that boy..and not because he’s a porn king. I don’t like the whole*Money is the root of all evil* speil from someone who is playing a game to win $500,00!! Can you we say *Disingenuous??*OR how about *Hypocritical*? His EGO doesnt help endear me either! If the above mentioned do make F3, I think the Boy’s Club may turn on Natalie. But I have no idea who the winner will be at this point…it’s really anyone’s game! Maybe Sheila will win it and amaze the CRAP outta all of us!!LOL

I read through one of the BB-UK websites that there is a possibility that the finale will be moved up to the Sunday (april 27). I thought that this would be a double eviction but there still is time. James and Sharon probably will go up and my guess is that James will finally leave the house. I would of liked to see Sharon go because Josuha at least made it interesting. Come on BB make it more interesting before you lose more of your audience.

April 3, 2008 @ 7:41 am
Well as Big Brother, wind down it is clear to me that the name needs to be change to Trailer Trash (TT). Big Brother is a bad name because a big brother protects supports, and help. Whereas, these people lie, backstab, and to an extent destroy each other. Last season ended with a perfect example of TT as (Low Life) Dick and his daughter won (A waste of good money) and this season seems to be known different. BB even brought him back (ED) to help continue this concept. Personally, I watch the show only to see how people handle themselves as this is a physiological game where only people with no life and no responsible can play the game. On to observations and theory, James needed HOH to assure another week in the house and that did not happen. Once again he is the target and in trouble of eviction. He has yet been able to pull of an Evil Dick play. With Adam winning HOH the game play is open. If the Adams and the house want James out the best way is to try to back door him he should nominate Sharon and Sheila but tell them his plan. Sharon has accepted playing the pawn role and will not be a threat to Adam at this time. However, Sheila might get pissed. I personally would like to see Ryan and air head Natalie (who surprising is playing a good game right now) go. However, they both fit the perfect TT role. Well your guess is as good as mine as anything could happen, as these people are so illogical and dumb.

Why are all of you complaining about BB9 every week….if you really think it’s that bad stop watching!..its actually really simple…im sure american idol will take you in as a viewer…they are getting pretty desperate. BB9 started off pretty cheesy but i have to say i am very impressed at the way it has turned into an actual game…it is keeping me on my toes… i always want to know whats going on next. I love James…he is a better player then anyone in the house…indeed he needs to continue with his streak of crazy luck to stay in the game…so im hoping for him!….natalie isnt as annoying as she used to be….and maybe it’s just me but im sick and tired of seeing her boobs and butt all the time…cant we all afford to chip in some money for some fabric for that girl!…shiela has been rode hard and will be put away wet…..i dispise her, she is completely useless and i hate her more each day!…way to go james giving her a piece of your mind…she deserved the iced tea that jen got last year…or a smoke burn…or mustard on her pillow….or acutally she just needs to be seen for who she really is…a useless old washed up nasty bitch!..does anyone else notice the wrinkles on her neck…ughhhh she is just gross!…Adam is a cool shit, seems to be fooling everyone..i really dont think he was stupid enough to fall for joshuahs crocodile tears yesterday…although i never laughed so hard that was great!…joshuah should totally become a soap star!…i would start watching it just for that i loved him…he was a riot, and very classy exit!…chelsia just showed everyone she really was 21…no big deal…she didnt win…whatever! Ryan is a little 2 faced too since he had a secret alliance with Joshuah and never did anything to help him, just bowed out like a scared baby..he would totally do anything for natalie…i really just think hes useless too!…and then there is Sharon…shes also useless…and playing way to much with her heart instead of her head, she has smarts…she just needs to learn to use them…hopefully with joshuah gone now she can step up her game again.
Well its been a slice chattin with you guys… and remember…if you dont like it…turn it off! and stop writing on here about how much you hate it…not the point of the blog…go start your own!
Thanks all!

JAMES!! All the way! He is a good kid. Good game player. I was very impressed in how he handled the medical emergency with Amanda. You could tell right then he had a kind heart. IF James is not nominated he can still win the power of the veto and NOT use it, therefore he would not be ‘back-doored!!!
Evel Me said,
April 3, 2008 @ 10:05 am
I’m a James fan, sick of Natalie, and tired of the Adam/Ryan thing, can they please just go pick boogers in the jury house?? But the cards are so majorly stacked against James that its going to be a miracle if he can win POV a 4th straight week. Sheila, lol, I just enjoy watching her continue to do badly, losing comp after comp.
As ED said it in his Wed housecalls visit, can we have a mute button for Sheila and Natalie’s mike so we can hear what everyone else is saying. Personally the AD show’s I just DVR them and don’t start watching until like an hour later just so I can fast forward their (Nat and Sheila) long sessions of incessant chatter about absolutely stupid stuff.
I’m just bitter this week, I’ll admit it, I was hoping for James or at the very least Sharon to win that HOH. I’ll pull for James until he loses, then I will quit investing so much time into the feeds because the other HG’s are really disturbing and boring at the same time. Of course this is all just my opinion.

JAMES ROCKS. He has proved himself in this game as opposed to the others. He has earned the right to make it to the end. Noone else can say the same. How can Natalie not drive you friggen nuts. She makes me crazy. And the same for Sheila , the haggard old bitch (oh man that cracks me up).

I can’t stand Natalie and Sheila. I want them G-O-N-E, GONE!!! Everytime Natalie opens her mouth and speaks, my ears ache. Her voice is so annoying. And to watch the faces Sheila makes when she talks…..ick.
GO JAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patti said,
April 3, 2008 @ 11:25 am
Flora is right … with so few people in the house James would probably get to play for the POV even if he isn’t one of the nominees so you’d better at least nominate him and give up on the back-door angle. There’s no guarantee that if someone else were to win POV and James wasn’t nominated that the person who won would use the POV to move James into eviction position.
Thrilled to see Josh leave - kind of scary how he turned on Sharon all of a sudden. I mean, obviously he’s been using her all along but the editing of BB was so good as Sheila talked with Sharon about how she had to love Josh cus he was so worried about her even as he was up in the HOH room stabbing her in the back. I was also glad to see that Josh’s mom was appalled at his behavior even if she was trying to say it was just game playing and a strategy. Seeing some of the flashbacks just reminded me of how horrid he was.
Natalie’s playing lately has surprised me. Who would have thunk it? She actually has some sense although it does bother me that she feels that God is right there in her corner. I’m thinking he has a few other things on his plate right now.

I was happy to see JOSHUAH go he was just too much…i just started watching BB and I only watch BBAD and I was a NATAILE fan and I still kinda am but DAMN that girl can talk……like she goes on on on about the same thing and she goes on on about GOD and i’m like girl we get it “your the chosen one” now shut the f**k up DAMN she bugs me sumtimes…..but you gotta love her she’s a strong girl and I admire her
I don’t fell sorry for JAMES because he outed himself he should have opened up to everybody else and I don’t feel sorry for him and SHARON because when they we’re all couples they planned to be final four and now that things didn’t go there way they want to start crying…. ..they were planning on doing the same thing 2 MATTY/NATALIE,ADAMN/SHELIA & RYAN…..so I don’t feel sorry for them, JAMES made himself an outcast….
….at this point i really don’t care who wins….who ever wins BB9 deserved to

April 3, 2008 @ 1:48 pm
BB, why do continue to feel sorry for these desperate old people( Sheila & Dick ) and cast them as houseguests? And how unfair was that to Adam to pair him up with her. He should win the whole thing just because of that fact. I like the alliance that Nat, Adam, & Ryan have, but they need to wise up and realize that sheila is an alliance whore and get her the hell out of the house. She does not deserve the money. So what if she’s a single mom, there are millions of single mom’s out there. She really pissed me off when she played that card.

Good message Ang!
I would like to see an international BB, since it does run in multiple countries.
Since this was a “writers strike” replacement, it’s been a good show.
Because of the focus online and from BB episodes, I agree that Natalie is a loose cannon, erratic, crazy and insane! It’s suprising that the psych interviews have not picked up on the ‘crazies’ that have been on the shows.
Just how many have left the game due to instabilities? Most occur quite early, are brushed away and never heard from again.
I would love to hear those stories! I would imagine that there are non disclosure forms that are signed, but *that* could make for interesting viewing and reading!
Anyhow, my thoughts are for James to hang in there and battle to the bitter end!
Go James!

Adam put up Sharon and Sheila with the hopes of backdooring James, SO, here comes the veto competition one more time. C’mon James ….. kick butt one more time ….. don’t these guys realize they have to turn on each other to win this game?
Matt (Back on Board) said,
April 4, 2008 @ 8:21 am
DAMMIT!!! I was thinking I had gotten all the way thru w/o seeing who got nominated!! O-well.
You know, I though some of the regular bloggers here were more astute…by that, I mean, how has no one hammered home the idea of James getting backdoored? Isn’t that his m.o. anyhow?
I have to say, though, even though I am NOT a James fan AT ALL, he does make the show compelling this year where little else does. As a BB fan, I also have to give him the respect he deserves for competing in EVERY competition. That’s how you win BB.
That being said, let’s say, for argument’s sake, that somehow that DOLT Sheila made it to the final 2 (God help us); here is someone who wins NOTHING, but gloms off everyone else’s successes. You just KNOW that she would claim, in one form or another, that this was her “strategy” all along…Gimme a frigging break.
This crew that they have assembled this year….man, I just don’t know what to think. Adam and Ryan always digging for nose-gold, spitting, burping….just gross, ya know? Natalie is SOOO annoying with her retarded fucking socks and short-shorts, and that VOICE!!! They’re gonna find me swinging from the rafters if she keeps staying and talking.
Then there’s Sheila. Meist Allkritey, where to begin? Repeating, she wins nothing. Ever. Yet, to hear her after competitions (this is my favorite part), she always says, “I KNEWWWW THAT!”, or “Ohhhh, MANNNN, I put up the wrong frikkin’ hand!!” or whatever excuses she musters…so funny. She missed it by THISSSSS much. LMAO. BTW, which part of California is she allegedly from? She sounds like white trash, not some beach bunny (albeit one HAIRY beach bunny….see previous posts).
This group seriously needs to break out the cutlery, because this is a GAME and if you wanna win, ya better start plunging your knife deep into the chest cavities of your “friends”. But, do it like Evel Dick…look ‘em straight in the eyes and tell ‘em, “It’s JUST a game. See ya!”
–Peace.
Pat said,
April 4, 2008 @ 4:50 pm
Back dooring James would be a good idea, but he’s too domineering in the competitions. I don’t think anyone whos left could beat him. Maybe putting Ryan up would give him enough incentive to put more of an effort in the challenge.

That makes BB9 fun to watch - since I got him hooked last year!
BUT with the NHL-Hockey Regular Season coming to an end -and PLAYOFFS starting soon!! (Go HABS Go!!)
We have set up a 2nd TV in our bedroom just- so we don’t miss anything !! lol
I wonder if a double-elimination is going to happen ?–been reading some blogs - that’s what been buzzing around?
Enjoying an ALRIGHT season of BB (since they went single!)
Thanks for the information - and comments….they are great!

April 4, 2008 @ 5:52 pm
If Natalie (God speaks to her/right!) believes that things are God’s will, why hasn’t it dawned on her that “God” wants James to stay in the house. They could make quite an alliance but she’s too stuck on her “group”.

Big Brother 9 Adam Kicked Off
Wow I can’t believe it but Adam has been kicked off of Big Brother 9. Things are crazy right now on the Big Brother Live Feeds too. From what I can gather from the Live Feeds the reason Adam was kicked off of Big Brother 9 was because of health and sanitary reasons. Adam having his hands down his pants and not washing his hands then touching all the food was causing some of the Big Brother 9 House Guests to get sick.

Okay, Adam was not kicked off of Big Brother 9 for lack of hygiene. It was an April Fools Joke. We can all still watch Adam on the Live Feeds and continue to see his lack of hygiene. I really got a few of you good though!!!!
Sure caught me in this one!
Natvtxn said,
April 4, 2008 @ 11:15 pm
Well, now that Ryan has won the PoV…Adam needs to get “cornered” into the DR again so he can do some more “thinking” like they made him do yesterday!!
Bloggers can be so sanctimonious!! How can anyone judge these HGs with their “strategy” playing. No, I’m not talking about the stupid idle chatter of nonsense that goes on constantly…with NO meaning..and all of America fast forwarding thru it to lessen the torture.
But there have been some very good strategic moves that make the show worth watching. And I’m sorry to bring religion into this…but Team Christ is NOT on God’s side. I’m sure He has more important things to deal with…idk…but I’m just saying….
Again, IF I was Adam, I would try to conjole Ryan into using the veto…letting him think I was putting up James, but instead put up Natalie. (He’s already been talking about this to James earlier). If the Bros could get together and vote out Natalie (even tho Nat/Ryan have vowed to go to F2, he’s got to know he won’t win against her)…then I would side with James and Sharon. Adam has a better chance in winning against Sharon or James then Ryan or Shelia. And he has to realize that he would have the majority on the jury. That’s the MAIN POINT!!
Adam needs to quit running scared by the controlling/manipulating Nat and whiny little boy, Ryan (who by winning PoV for the first time shows his first attempt at accomplishing game play). Shelia is just waste and will be discarded as such, soon.
Now, this might sound hypocritical from my first statement…but those three, with the exception of Nat…Suck big time at game play. And hey, we might as well as admit it…but all of America does NOT want Natalie (Team Christ) to win. I can’t wait until she You-Tubes her little “Matty Services” escapades that she has convinced herself DID NOT happen.
Next couple of days should be interesting. Hope the DR gets involved. Hope there is a luxury comp tomorrow for clothes and the BOYS win for once!!
Cheryl said,
April 5, 2008 @ 12:21 pm
If BB has any influence on the houseguests, they better suggest that if Ryan used the POV on Sharon, expecting Adam to put up James, he seize that opporturity to get rid of either Natalie, or Ryan. That would be his best chance at winning. I personally am pulling for James to win it all.

Ryan used the POV on Sheila, up goes James. But he’s used to that in so many ways. Next he’ll be out to make C-porn with his goofy housemate, “looks like an old man in a speedo” Chelsia. Most of the trash will be out of the house once James takes his skank out the door. Hopefully, Julie will have some antibacterial hand sanitizer nearby for when she has to shake his hand. Can’t wait for Season 10 - it HAS to be better than this carny circus act CBS gave us. =^^=

April 6, 2008 @ 9:40 pm
Lets see theres, Adam, Shelia, Nat, Ryan, Sharon and James left. Six people can play in the veto right? HoH, the two nominees, a one person for each nominee and HOH…so thats Six… correct me if I’m wrong… i understand the backdooring idea..its a good one… but its pretty stupid not to put james up if James gets to automatically play anyway..why not Adam bs his nomiation speech saying he’d at least give james a fair chance and still gain some respect from him, just in case james does leave and not hold a major grudge….thats his best option, cuz inevitably james is going to play the veto anyways…
oh well

April 10, 2008 @ 2:12 pm
I couldn’t figure out why I found Natalie so disturbing…then I realized, she has blazing eyes, denoting the fact that she doesn’t blink and thus coyote mad…and she actually looks like a stunned, smiling weasel. And, she thinks spirituality and heaven are something like the Magic Kingdom at Disneyland.
I hope the remaining morons can read her, and get her out of there. It would have been better to oust the rat when Matty was ousted, leave him in and proceed. This year stinks like dead fish …
