Big Brother Blog Diary Room is open! James or Sharon: Who do you want out of the BB9 house?

by BBBlogger on March 11, 2008

As most of the feed watcher have known for some time now, Chelsia won the Power of Veto and was able to remove herself from the chopping block with hopes that Ryan would turn around and backdoor Matty (I really hate calling him that).

But instead, Ryan thought in order to “punish” one of the only relationships that has come out of the couple phase of the game, he put up her ex-partner James instead.

This Wednesday night it will either be James or Sharon to be the second single houseguest eliminated.

Now I know that my friend SoonerRyan who normally does the blogging on our site has well documented, James is quite the character with a quite interesting past…but does that mean it is his time to go?

Sharon was gone and then a last second replacement for Neil (remember him?) and in a way has been no real factor in the game as of yet. (At least not that I have seen)

So this one is a toss up in my book. I have heard rumblings in the house that it is time for James to exit but I would say it is anyones guess at this point. So I will leave it up to you the readers of Big Brother Blog.

WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE ELIMINATED FROM THE BIG BROTHER 9 HOUSE THIS WEEK? JAMES or SHARON??

Also with that please let us know who you voted to come back into the big brother house and why? We want to hear from you! From the last poll, it looks like most people want to see Alex get a second chance in the Big Brother 9 house. My guess is we will know Wednesday night!

Peace, BBBlogger

Big Brother Rankings: The Players, The Sleepers & The Pretenders

by soonerryan on March 7, 2008

Alright, now that the Big Brother game is finally worth watching this season, how about the return of weekly rankings?

Yoo hoo! But first some business.

Given that the aired show skips from Wednesday to Sunday without word of nominations, food comps or Power of Veto, I’m going to risk your wrath and spill the beans on what I know.

Most of the big-brother-blog.com faithful already know this stuff via the comments on other posts or the live feeds. So, you likely know that Sharon and Chelsia are nominated for eviction.

There, I said it. Throw things if you must.

HoH Ryan has told Chelsia that she isn’t the target though. Either a backdoor scenario is happening, or Ryan and the boys (the guys have loosely aligned) are gunning for Jacob’s ex-girlfriend.

Given that the nature of the game changed from couples to individuals only a night ago, it’s like the houseguests are feeling each other out all over again. Matt and Natalie are no longer bed mates, and Sheila is sleeping alone, too.

Ryan’s personality is really starting to show through sans Jen, and the whole house is bonding.

Kum-ba-yah, my Lord. Kum-ba-yah.

In fact, as of 9:55 BBT, the house is drinking beer and having fun in the HoH room.

The two nominees, along with Sheila and Joshuah aren’t imbibing though because they lost the food competition. Heck, the guys are speculating tonight that Sheila might be going insane because of the slop, although Matt insists that she’s just going through her “change of life,” which I presume is a reference to menopause.

Speaking of “change of life,” everybody is reading the Bible. Adam has pledged to read the whole thing during his house stay, although he’ll have to read fast unless he’s to stay to the Final 3 or so.

Matt talked about reading Genesis, wondering why — if God is so good — would the creator breathe life into a serpent that would eventually cause man to fall. This is some deep stuff for our Boston roofer.

However, so far, there is no high-and-mighty preachin’ a la Amber and Jameka from Season 8.

Alas, Natalie puts a stop to the conversation and talks about her two abortions, one she had at 19. She referred to herself as “fertile Myrtle.”

Mattie, beware.

Also, and forgive me for rambling, but does Natalie not remind you of Cheri Oteri from Saturday Night Live? She does me.

Anyway, based on these superficial initial conversations, based on what we know about potential houseguests returning, based on what we know about nominations, who’s winning this bugger as of now?

I’ll divide the groups into The Players, The Sleepers and The Pretenders.

The Players include Matt, Ryan and James. Frankly, I liken Mattie to Eddie from Season 1 and a combination of Dr. Will and Dick Donato. He’s not terribly confrontational, but he’s chatty and uber-confident. And he’ll make a deal with anybody, including the devil, to win. He might even have sex with you.

Ryan is turning into the good guy of the house, and I think his popularity is soaring among fans of the show. He’s not confrontational. He’s not an imbecile. And he’s proven himself capable of winning competitions, given that he’s HoH. As of now, nobody would want to face him in the Final 2.

And Crazy Gay Porn James is a steady hand. He has an even-keeled personality and is good with both the boys and the girls, both literally and figuratively, if you catch my drift. Relative to the game, he’s a worthy ally to both the bros and the females.

Right now, I think one of these cats wins.

The Sleepers include Natalie, Adam and Chelsia.

Natalie has proven she can win that PoV, and she’s generally well-liked, even if she’s half-cocked and crazy. Her attachment to Mattie is both a good and bad thing relative to game play because he seems like he would be willing to protect her somewhat. On the other hand, her attachment could make her a target, a pawn to upset Matt’s game-play, perhaps.

Adam is a weird, weird dude. Reminds me of Zach. He’s a perfect ally for the bros because, as Sheila noted to him early Thursday, he can go have a smoke, drink a beer, cuss it up and generally get along with any guy’s guy. And, so far, he hasn’t been a purposeful game player. He’s stayed out of the fray.

He definitely needs the money given that he’s been fired from his real-life job for calling autistic kids “retards.”

Chelsia, like Nat, is built for Big Brother competitions, as she’s already been part of an HoH couple. She’s also kind of a guy’s girl, like Natalie, and it seems to me that this season is a bit slanted toward males in terms of the stronger players. I think that it’s advantageous for any of the women in the house to align with the dudes.

Theoretically, I could see a scenario where the guys pretty much annihilate the girls in the house, picking them off one by one, including Princess Josh.

He’s one of The Pretenders. Based on everything you guys have written and I’ve thought, Joshuah is the Dustin of Season 9. Not popular with America, and that usually translates to “not popular with the house.”

Sharon is in serious danger of leaving this week, so at this point, she’s a pretender. To be honest, she seems like she would have been a good fit for Season 8, like she could be really catty. I could totally see her in a cussfight with Dick.

And Sheila is totally worthless, in my humble Big Brother opinion, relative to game play. She tries, but she doesn’t really fit in too well, and she has the makings of an easy, easy kill. She’s Kail II.

If I had to rank them, it would go like this:

9. Sheila
8. Sharon
7, Joshuah
6. Chelsia
5. Adam
4. Natalie
3. Ryan
2. James
1. Mattie

Do you agree, disagree … Tell me why I’m a complete idiot or laud my greatness. And big thanks to those of you who update us on what’s goin’ on overnight inside them there comments.

Good stuff, amigos.

Game On! Couples No More & An Evictee Is Returning

by soonerryan on March 6, 2008

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!

Threesomes & Anal Orgasms: A Busy Week For Crazy Gay Porn James!

by soonerryan on March 5, 2008

Lots of happenings to report after a weekend of craziness in the Big Brother house, the least of which is that either Ryan and Allison or Sheila and Adam will be going home.

As of right now, it’s almost a sure thing that Matt/Natalie and James/Chelsia will be voting to evict Ryan and Allison, and it’s not so much a Ryan issue as it is an Allison issue.

HoH couple Joshuah and Sharon initially nominated them with Matt and Natalie, but the latter won the PoV and pulled themselves off the block. And Joshuah cannot stand Allison. No siree.

But he also can’t stand a dirty butt.

Among the wonderfully nauseating happenings in the house the past few days included Joshuah (who has turned into Dustin, Part II, as HoH) detailing his gay sex practices. You think I’m kidding, but this is some fascinating stuff.

I’m such a prude, relatively. And Crazy Gay Porn James talks about anal lubing and analgasms with no questioning from Joshuah or Chelsia?

James and Chelsia have gotten particularly close, even doing a little threesome action with Allison. Not to worry, it was only a few kisses, but it’s by a mile the tenth most risque thing this season. Kidding.

What happens Wednesday night relative to the twist is big. Allison is campaigning hard, but she doesn’t realize that her eventual eviction might mean nothing.

The house has been advised to be prepared to gather in the living room upon hearing a sound, like a blaring horn or some such. The presumption by many is that this would be a cue for houseguest re-entry.

But we’ll not know at least until tomorrow night.

In the meantime, did Big Brother reach an all-time nasty low this week between the pseudo-threesome and the anal chit-chat?

Amanda, Alex Evicted From BB House; Julie Announces Twist

by soonerryan on February 28, 2008

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?

Are Big Brother 9’s Houseguests Actually Starting To Play The Game?

by soonerryan on February 26, 2008

The scene at 9:40 BBT as house guests play pool in the back yard of a very chilly Big Brother house: Adam refers to Crazy James as “JZ,” a play on Jay-Z’s name.

James’ last name is Zinkland.

But Adam is saying things like, “Ahh yeah, JZ. Make that money.”

And I’m thinking, “They have no idea how James makes that paper.”

(Side note: Does James have the worst tattoo in history at the top of his chest, or what? The bolo-tie tattoo is possibly the worst ink in history.)

Alas, the next couple of nights centers on who’s going home: Will it be Alex and Amanda or Matt and Natalie?

So far, it looks like Matt and Natalie will be going home, even though Alex and Amanda were the targets initially. However, proud Alex has refused to campaign, so I wonder if that’s not a killer in the end. But, most of the house guests now realize that Alex actually owns his DJ company, and James mentioned to the group how Alex’ family got money as part of a Sept. 11 settlement.

It’s hard to feel sorry for the rich kid, so I’m at a loss as to what the heck they’ll do.

On the other hand, I’ve noticed a significant difference from last week to this week. The Big Brother game is starting to kick in.

I know, you can boo and hiss and say I’m crazy, and I still don’t like this bunch as much as last year’s. However, as soon as PoV winners Josh and Sharon decided not to use the PoV this week (BTW, Was that a spoiler? I’ll admit it: Once I start getting into the feeds, I pretty much only watch the feeds.), Matt and Natalie went into overdrive, doing anything they can to extend their stay by an extra week.

Furthermore, their campaign comes two days after a marathon argument Saturday night in front of the entire house. Matt went on and on about flirting with every girl in the house, and Natalie maybe said a word every 1,500.

While I know they were arguing about her perception that Matt never pays attention to her, I am not sure that they resolved anything or that Matt once made sense. It still went on for at least an hour, and it was mind-numbing. I suspect they show videos like this at Scientology meetings.

So, I guess what I’m suggesting is that the Big Brother house is moving into that part of the season where the days start to become a little mundane. And the more people leave the house, the more the $500,000 grand prize starts to factor in.

I assure you, these could be the most boring house guests in BB history, but I’m still interested to see what they will do as soon as they can taste it. Frankly, what happens the next 48 hours before the live eviction this week will go a long way in determining whether the remaining house guests are ready to get serious about playing Big Brother or they are content playing house.

My plea to Big Brother: Kill this couples concept right after the live eviction, and let’s play some Big Brother. This house has already proven itself to be full of crazy people, so let them go mano a mano.

Drama! Amanda Rushed To Hospital After Hypoglycemic Seizure!

by soonerryan on February 23, 2008

In a season filled with Big Brother sexcapades (Natalie, Jen, Ryan, Mattie), voluntary withdrawals (Neil) and odd drama (everybody), Friday night will go down as one of the most dramatic nights in the show’s American history.

As one of the people on slop, Amanda started to feel like her blood sugar was way low. She is hypoglycemic, meaning her blood sugar is too low. I’m not a doctor, nor do I claim to be a scholar, but I think this is kind of the “opposite” of being diabetic.

It is a serious condition.

Natalie suggested some brown sugar, but Amanda said it would have to be more substantive. Not two seconds later, she passed out and soon went into convulsions and seizures.

Gay porn Crazy James and the other houseguests rushed out to try to get her some help, and Amanda was apparently taken to a hospital, where she was given an IV and pain medication. However, if you’ll allow me to be a bit critical, I was unimpressed with Big Brother’s lack of response time.

Historically, we have been told that if something happened in the house — a fight, a rape, a murder — that people would be busting through the doors, right? Well, while Big Brother did get Amanda to a hospital, I have to wonder why they didn’t bust through those doors when she theoretically could have been dying.

In all fairness, somebody was probably calling 911, but if a producer is watching, he or she would have known that Amanda was on shaky ground with the low blood sugar. Not saying they should have made an exception for her, just saying that — damn — they should have been ready to bust down the doors if something had happened.

Thankfully, she is OK and was told to eat five meals on Saturday, meals that presumably do not include slop.

As of 11:15 BBT, it looked like she was eating a sugary cereal.

So, good on Big Brother for being sensible here, if they are allowing her to eat real food. I don’t think Amanda is the most popular player this season, but she’s still a young woman, somebody’s daughter, somebody’s sister, somebody’s friend — and frankly, I’m not sure the show’s producers won’t have to rethink the entire concept of putting people on slop.

Let’s think from a legalistic perspective. CBS isn’t looking to get sued, right? How could they not inquire whether somebody might be hypoglycemic?

Amanda bemoaned the fact that while she works for a company that provides health insurance to major employers, her own health insurance sucks. I think if I were CBS, I would have caught the bill for Amanda’s ambulance.

In other drama, Allison was taken to the hospital, too! She suffered an allergic reaction to something or other and was taken to get some allergy shots.

Nominees Revealed & Crazy James’ Not-So-Secret Past!

by soonerryan on February 22, 2008

Truth be told, there ain’t much happening in the Big Brother house at this moment. Sure, nominees have been revealed, which we’ll keep hidden after the jump, but all the action is happening in real-life headlines.

As was posted on a comment to the previous post (THANK YOU!), we now know how Crazy James was funding his across-the-world ventures.

Gay porn.

No, I’m not lying, and I’ve seen the clip. Yikes. I have been traumatized for life. I shall be blind tomorrow, which will be an improvement upon my current state of nausea.

And it’s no comment on James or his sexuality, whatever it might be. It’s just not my cup of tea, friends. I’m a to-each-his-own sort of fellow, and I’m a human-rights advocate … but if I never see another gay porn clip in my life, I will die a happy straight guy.

At this point, all we know is that he made gay porn videos, and my suspicion is that he’s tri-sexual. He’ll “tri” anything once! Am I wrong about this? He seems like an anything-goes kind of cat. Perhaps he’s merely a willing entrepreneur …

The free spirit that he is, James did make out with Chelsia a bit last night, an overture brought on by liquid delights, I’m sure. But I can’t help but feel for his “soulmate” in that she likely has no idea where that boy’s mouth has been. On the other hand, she might be pleasantly surprised about a few other things, if you catch my drift.

OK, I’m nauseated again.

Seriously, and most of us have said this from Day 1. The notion that the Big Brother house would become a sex palace, as opposed to a place where strategy and bickering and tension loomed largest, is not appealing to those of us who love this game. This aspect of Big Brother 9 has been a major, major disappointment.

I’m not a prude, but all of this just seems like something cast by Sheila’s former employers at Penthouse.

Alas, James and Chelsia made their nominations, and apparently, if they couldn’t make a decision, they would have to abdicate their HoH position. But they did, and those results are after the jump.

Crazy James, Chelsia Win HOH; Operation Condor Could Seal Amanda’s Fate

by soonerryan on February 21, 2008

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.
