Do I really have to tell you whose been evicted from Big Brother 9? I’m sure everyone knows already but James has been evicted, for the second time, from the Big Brother house. The start of the show tried to make its seem otherwise though. James knew he was probably going but decided to pull a Chelsia and start drama before he leaves. The only person he really targeted was Natalie, go figure, and let everyone how big of a snake she is. Oh he also said she was getting fat as well. She kind of helped him along with he snake bit though by telling the girls she was with them. Then going directly to Adam and Ryan and telling them that the girls were after the boys. It’s kind of funny how editing works. I know Natalie has been doing this the entire season but they really tried to drive the point home.

James wasn’t done yet and tried to sway both Ryan and Sheila to keep him in the game. Ryan seemed to by into it at first but would only do so if he had Sheila voting with him 100%. James then quickly ran to Sheila and let her know he’s the only one who could take out Natalie. She seemed to by it as well and wanted to shake up the game for her 46th birthday. But before she could make a decision we learn that Sheila is closer with Adam then everyone thinks. She let Adam know that Natalie was playing everyone but he isn’t trusting her yet. He let us know in the DR that he wasn’t sure who was telling the truth but we shall see who he trusts this week I’m sure.

Our “interview from home” package this week focused on Sharon. We finally got to meet her Marine family and they let us know some interesting things. It seems like her family is very religious and very “proper” and fits Sharon well. They also let us know about Sharon’s very bad crash she was in last year and how that changed her view on religion. I always find it funny that the people who are religious in home aren’t the crazy religious people in the house. That is no different this season as Sharon isn’t part of “Team Christ”, the Bible loving alliance who are all in the final four.

Before we could get to the eviction it was time for a peek into the jury house. Matty was all alone for awhile so he didn’t seem too upset when Chelsia ran through the door. She was happy to seem him as well but now “that” kind of happy. It seems like they are pretty close to the actual BB house this year as they seemed to be wearing the same clothing when they were evicted. Josh walked through the door next. Matt was happy for that while Chelsia was somewhat angry. Matty was glad one of his “group’ got the HoH, he just wished it was James coming through the door.

When it was finally time for the eviction everyone, including James, knew who was going. Natalie went in first and voted for James as did both Ryan and Sheila. That sent James out, once again, with a vote of 3 - 0. He walked out of the house with a lot more class than I would have thought and really didn’t pull a Chelsia like I thought he might. When he got outside to Julie she assured him that he wasn’t going back in. He then spoke candidly and let America know how much he hated the game, the house and the people still in. Well only some people. He used the word “hate” for both Natalie and Ryan and said he hated how they played the game.

With James finally out it was time for the next HoH. It’s another hanging endurance, how many are we going to have? Everyone was told to stand in a small glass box and hang on. The boxes were then lifted in the air and all they have to do is basically stay in the box, which is hanging in the air. The person who hangs in the longest will win the next HoH and be guaranteed a spot in the final four.

I’ll be updating who is out of the HoH for as long as I can. To see updates for the HoH just highlight between the stars. And while we are waiting, check out the interview I had with Jen below!

Highlight below for HoH updates:

*******************************************************************************************

So far Sharon has dropped down.

Ryan, Natalie and Sheila remain. Sheila is saying she will hang in there all night because she wants photos.

In the end Ryan dropped and then Nataile dropped giving SHEILA her first HoH win in the house.

Sheila cut deals with both Natalie and Ryan to keep them safe if they gave her the HoH.

I was lucky enough to get a chance to ask Jen from Big Brother 9 a few questions. She let us know how she thinks Ryan is doing, how she got involved with the show and how she thinks it will affect her and Ryan’s relationship. Thanks to Jen for the great interview!

1) How did you get involved in the casting for BB9? Did you send in a video tape, go to a casting call? And did you watch Big Brother before being on the show?

I have watched Big Brother since season 1 and said that it was a passion of mine, to one day, be on Big Brother! I applied 4 times and got a little bit closer each time. This past season, I went to an open casting call in Columbus and the rest is history!

2) As we all know you entered the house with your boyfriend Ryan. Were you surprised to see him there for did you know going in that you both would be in the game? If you knew, were you at all nervous about going in as a pair?

Yes, I knew Ryan was going to be there and I had no idea that we were going to be put into pairs on the show. Needless to say, I was very unhappy about NOT being paired up with him!

3) Going back to night one, you won the Power Couple. Do you still think it was a good idea to win the power the first night and do you still think that Jacob and Sharon were the best couple to evict?

Yes, I still think it was a great idea to win Power Couple, and of course 10,000 dollars! If I could do it all over again,. I would NOT have sent Sharon and Jacob packing. Instead we should have just stuck with our gut and gotten rid of Sheila and Adam!

4) What was sequester like with Parker after being evicted? We know he wasn’t too happy with the situation, did anything happen off camera that we should know about? He looked pretty angry when talking to Julie.

No, Parker and I got a raw deal and it’s very unfortunate that it didn’t work out to our benefit. Living with Parker in sequester was fine. We are like brother and sister. Off camera, we just said that we could have, should have handled situations differently, but it’s a woulda, coulda, shoulda kinda game and everything happened for a reason. We can’t go back, only learn from our mistakes and move forward. After all, it’s just a game.

5) Do you think being on the show with Ryan will affect your relationship at all? How do you think he’s been playing the game?

If anything, being on Big Brother will make mine and Ryan’s relationship stronger! I think it will bring us closer together than we have ever been! Absence makes the heart grow fonder. No one ever says however, how the heat hurts in the process! I cannot wait to have our LIFE back! I think Ryan has been playing an AMAZING game and I couldn’t be more proud of him! I love him with all of my heart!

6) Besides Ryan who do you want to see win the game and why? Who do you think least deserves to win and why?

Of course I want to see Ryan win this game! If he can’t win it then I would like to see Natalie win. She deserves it! Maybe Adam too! I don’t think Sheila deserves to win, at all! She has done nothing to deserve the grand prize. She has won nothing and is floating on by!

7) Do you feel you were portrayed correctly on the show and do you think the producers tried to sway you in any way during Diary Room sessions?

The way I was portrayed on the show is pretty accurate. I am definitely a little different in real life, not such a bitch! I do have my moments and I can be hard to get along with if you cross me, but I am a good person and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. There were certain situations that were edited and cut to make me look like a bad person. But, that’s what I signed up for! Everyone that knows me, knows the real me! Especially Ryan! I am not able to comment on the diary room….sorry!

8) What would you tell those who are applying for BB10? If you could give people who are applying any suggestions what would they be?

Never give up! If at first you don’t succeed, try try again! It took me 4 times!

9) Is there anything you’d like to get off your chest or anything else you would like to say to your fans and fans of the show?

Keep watching! It’s a great show! The only thing that I would like to get off my chest is that the whole racist thing is NOT as it seems! They cut out a huge part of that conversation! Most importantly….Ryan is NOT racist and I wasn’t campaigning against him. That conversation with Sheila happened before I was even nominated! I took the comment back, reworded things, and explained it in a way that wasn’t so harsh…..but of course that’s not how they showed it to America. All that matters to me is that Ryan knows the truth and he does and I am not at all worried about it or our relationship!

I would like to thank Jen once again for the great interview! If you would like to keep track of Jen and send her a message you can check out Jen’s MySpace.

With only six people left in the Big Brother house I was wondering exactly what would be on the show as this is usually when they start using stuff from earlier. Thankfully they only used some footage that was about a week old but at least it was good! The ‘old’ footage I’m talking about were the pranks on Sheila. They actually came from April Fools day and weren’t able to use some REALLY good stuff they did to Josh. They did pull some good ones on Sheila though, such as the toilet papering of her room. I’m still not sure the powder dumping falls as ’safe’ in the rule book but I guess it was all in good fun.

The food competition was actually pretty interesting. It’s funny how much more entertaining it was was music and editing as the live feed footage of the competition was rather boring and tedious. What the houseguests had to do was create mash potato tunnel down a ramp. At the end of the ramp were several tubes where they had to maneuver the tunnels to. Once the tunnel were fully formed (or somewhat formed) both Sheila and Sharon would start pouring gravy down the tunnels. The tubes that they were able to fill up with the gravy would be the food items or prizes they would win. They actually ended up getting a lot of food, a new grill and yard toys. It was a very unique challenge and finally one that was fun to watch, on TV, and I’m sure fun to compete in!

Now it was all down to the nominations which I’m sure everyone thought were set in stone. A few days ago I posted a video showing James’ major break down to Adam in the HoH room. One thing I find interesting about this on the show is how they handled Natalie’s exit from the room, allowing James to persuade Adam to keep him safe. On the show they have Natalie explaining how it was “best for her to leave the room” since she had said enough. But in fact if you watch the live feed footage, you will see that Natalie was called to the Diary Room right after James broke down. People in the house and on the web are saying that producers felt it would be good to get Natalie out of there, to kind of allow James the freedom to talk to Adam opening. Them forcing her to say it was her choice to leave the room, on the show, kind of drives that point home and assures a known idea that yes, the producers do influence the game. Even though they say they don’t. In the end James did pull through and Adam placed both Sheila and Sharon on the block. Next time we will see what happened with the POV. Of course if you are in the BB know you already know what happens but for those who aren’t make sure to check back Tuesday for all the dirt that goes down! I can already tell Wednesday night is going to be another crazy one.

I usually don’t post Big Brother feed videos on here but everything is going crazy I just have to! As we all know Adam won the HoH last night and he has to put up two people for eviction. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone so if you want to know what’s going on you can watch the video below. All I will is someone is crying like a baby and a new alliance, which could be a huge deal, has been made. I really NEVER saw this coming.

After last week’s chaos of an eviction episode I wasn’t sure how to approach this one. I knew the votes were kind of up in the air this wee so I was glad to finally be out of the loop when it came to who was being evicted. The opening sequence kind of made things even more confusing by showing the votes go back and forth as they did all week. I was glad to see how the show was actually edited and give CBS props for putting together a show that finally recapped what actually happened in the house.

Joshuah opened the sequence with his crying out to Adam over the pizza. We all know Josh is on slop this week and he wanted to pull a Jen, well kind of. Josh thought that if he ate he would get an auto nom for last week and people would want to evict Sharon over him since he would be nominated anyway. What he didn’t realize at first was that he would not get an auto nom, but rather an auto vote against him this week. He then changed gears and ‘cried’ to Adam, hoping for the sympathy vote that he needed.

When Natalie thought things out a bit she realized Joshuah’s deal was more or less just to keep him safe. She then told Sharon that Joshuah was campaigning against her, making Sharon angry for the first time in the game. Sharon was then brought in and the girls alliance was officially made to combat the pending ‘battle of the sexes’. Knowing she now wanted Joshuah to go and Sharon to stay, Natalie worked on both Ryan and Adam. She pulled Sharon and Ryan aside to make them trust each other. Apparently they haven’t talked all game yet gained each others trust in a matter of minutes. Um since when does this happen? Adam basically went along with anything the others did, so it made sense that Joshuah would be the one to go with James being the only one voting for him to stay.

Knowing that Joshuah would go, the producers found it best to put in an interview with Joshuah’s mom. I’m sure they were just waiting for this and figured it was their last chance to air it. She basically told us how Joshuah isn’t at all like this. Of course he doesn’t act like that around you, no kids do! It was funny to see his mom actually bash Joshuah though. She explained how she couldn’t watch some of the things he’s been saying but seemed to kidding around at the same time. I’m sure his mom will have some choice words for him when he gets home, if they only could film that!

It then came time for the eviction. I found it funny how Joshuah told Sharon, in front of all America, that he would never campaign against her. I mean he did that ALL week long, yet still finds it smart to lie to her, knowing she probably does know. When Julie asked Sharon how she felt about what Josh just said I waited for some comeback such as “well Julie, I know he’s been campaigning and lieing all week, but I still love him”. Only the later part of that quote came out of Sharon’s mouth. And for once she made a statement without starting it with “GGGGGGGGODDDDDDDD”.

When the votes were in only James in fact did vote for Josh to stay and he walked out of the house. Before doing so though he gave some “inspirational words” to the houseguests in hopes to go out in a classier way then Chelsia. Come on now Josh! We WANT an explosive eviction, what would it have hurt you are evicted anyway! He didn’t really have anything interesting to say to Julie other then his head exploding. I’m surprised it fit throughout he door. Where does he come off thinking he was the ‘toughest player’ in the house. Sure you may have thought that Josh but it just isn’t true!!!

The HoH was “More… or less” and was basically made for Natalie… yet she couldn’t compete. It had to do with the number of certain items, such as pillows and mirrors, in the house. Julie would give them a number and they had to guess if that number was actually more or less then the real total. In the end it looked like Sharon would pull out a win but both James and Adam caught up. In the very last question Sharon and James both chose the wrong answer and gave Adam his second HoH win. With Adam once again in power, will Natalie rule his HoH again and will this kill off the girl alliance? It should be an interesting week. We all know Adam isn’t scared to make crazy nominations so who knows who will go up this week. Although my bet is on James and Sharon. But if history repeats itself James won’t be up there come next Wednesday.

On the latest Big Brother 9 basically no gameplay or strategy was shown. Rather we were stuck with watching the houseguests play hide and see, make a whirlpool, and stare at a black and white picture in hopes of seducing it. I’m tired of the Sunday night episodes where all they basically show us is crappy fill ins. We all know that strategy and drama is going down on the feeds. Why can’t CBS show that stuff? Tons of drama went down weeks before with James throwing a jar of pickles at Natalie yet that doesn’t air? They aired Dick pouring iced tea on Jen’s head and burning her with cigarettes yet we don’t see pickles flying at Natalie head?

I have a feeling they are trying to portray James as the “good guy” in the house who “lost his soulmate” and well the pickle bit just doesn’t fit well with that. I sure hope Sunday’s get better soon or they might as well stop airing them and just show the 15 minutes they spend on showing nominations. Oh yeah, James and Joshuah went on the block. Too bad they didn’t show much about why or how that happened, good thing the feeds are there or else we would be fooled into thinking all they do is play childish games all day long!
