With the game of Big Brother 9 down to its final two it was time to crown the winner of the $500,000. It has been the series first winter series and broke new ground with twists galore. By starting with pairs for the first time ever to three players returning the game was different then ever before. Some loved it while others hated it but you must admit it was nice having a double, and now triple, dose of Big Brother in only a year.

The crowning of the winner had to start somewhere and that was with Sheila joining the jury house. Everyone seemed to think it would be her and were even talking about her as she walked through the doors. She seemed very upset with Adam at the time as she realized he threw the last challenge to make sure Ryan won and took him to the end. The rest of the jury seemed somewhat split as at times they favored Ryan and other times they favored Adam. Natalie, James and Chelsia seemed to take the idea that Adam was the better player, Joshuah, Sharon and Sheila seemed to fight for Ryan to win. Matty was the only one not going either way with who he wanted to win since he was friends with both.

It was then time for the questioning to begin and it once again seemed split. Ryan took the first heat as he told everyone that he would give Jen some money if he won. Everyone didn’t like that comment too much considering Adam said he would surely give $100,000 to open an after school program for kids. A followup question to that was from Chelsia who asked Ryan if he still loves Jen. He told her yes and the reasons why but Chelsia didn’t seemed to like that answer. I knew his relationship with Jen would hurt Ryan in the finals but some seem to be basing their vote simply on that. Adam then started to take some heat, especially from Sheila and Joshuah. Sheila tore into Adam as she felt he didn’t give her credit for him getting to the finals. She also felt Adam lied to her in the house throughout the game. I still don’t know if Sheila was just continuing her “act fighting” with Adam or if this was truly how she felt. Joshuah, on the other hand, tore into Adam as being not being a player. He didn’t agree with Adam throwing the competitions and also disliked the way Adam was “screaming at the screen”. In the end it still seemed unclear as to who would win and I’m still blown away by the vote.

With the votes then locked in Julie then told the jury members that one of them would be winning $25,000 thanks to a vote by America. They also had a few segments of talking with both jury and non-jury along with a few video clips. The first was a small discussion with Natalie and Matt and how they felt about each other. Julie told Natalie she may be in for some surprises when watching the show. This led to Matty apologizing to Natalie for anything she may hear before she even hears them. Next up was the feud between Jen and Allison which still seems to hold. Jen let loose and let everyone know she disliked Allison’s words about her after she was evicted and her thoughts that she was better for Ryan then herself. Allison defended herself by saying she had no feelings for Ryan and doesn’t feel the same for Jen now that she did in the house. The next few clips showed Ryan that Adam did in fact tell Natalie how he voted and also showed Joshuah’s fake tears that convinced Adam. I’m not sure why they squeezed these two clips in as talking to the other jury or non-jury members would have been more exciting.

After that small boredom it was time to crown the winner. Matt’s vote was up first which was for Adam along with Natalie’s who was also for Adam. With two votes for Adam it was Joshuah up next. He voted vote Ryan making it 2-1. Sharon was up next and surprisingly voted opposite of Joshuah which was for Adam making it 3-1. Sheila’s vote was next and it was like fate that her key gave Adam the win. With four votes there was no way Ryan could catch up and Adam leapt into the air, knowing he won the game and half a million dollars. After some time the two finally walked out of the house and all the houseguests waiting outside rushed the door. It was a great feeling to see them finally excited for someone to win the game as it came to a close.

But before we could leave Big Brother world until the summer it was time to give away America’s Favorite Jury money. It was pretty obvious who would get it as people somehow fell in love with James and he was in fact the winner. Sheila came in second which should give her some joy as I feel she did deserve the money as much or not more then James. In my final post for BB9 I’d like to say it was a great season to cover as there was continuous drama and random things that happened this season that will probably never happen again. Although it may not have been the best it did bring some enjoyment to our winter and hopefully even more this summer as BB10 returns on July 13th! Make sure to check back often for any after the show BB9 updates and BB10 news as it comes in!

The night began with the promise of a houseguest returning and that they did but NOT who we would ever have expected. It all began with the house wondering who to vote out. James going was the first idea as everyone promised Sharon that she would stay, although she was kind of freaking out about it.

Natalie and Sheila’s convo which we covered the other day was then showcased and made us believe that the vote was changing for Sharon to leave. They both felt that Sharon was a threat as she was quiet and was ‘playing Matty’ which Natalie didn’t like too much. The votes then
changed once again as Matt talked Natalie back into voting out James so his fate was almost sealed.

The evicted houseguests were then shown and let us know why they should return… kind of late. Jacob basically wanted to come back to see Sharon while Jen and Parker seemed to be getting along well. Alex and Amanda are still fighting it seems and both were blaming each other for losing. Allison was the one who wanted to come back the most and seemed ready to return as well.

We then saw the evictees live in the studio and Julie let us know that Alex would potentially be returning. She told Alex that he must go sit in a mystery box and those still in the house will vote for Alex to return as a ‘mystery person’ or for the newest evictee to return. I don’t think they realized this as first as they were so happy for Alex to return.

They quickly got to the eviction and James was evicted by 5 - 1. Chelsia was the only one to walk him to the door and she was visablly upset. When he got outside James was given a standard interview and a very heartfelt video from Chelsia. He was then told that he could return to the game and returned by saying he may “crap his pants”. Directly following this the housegeusts were given another dose of the buzzer and were shocked to learn they had to wait during the break for the news to hit them.

Live votes were then conducted for either the mystery box or James to return. Everyone went in and only Matt, Ryan and Sheila voted for the mystery box while everyone else voted for James to return. I was hoping for a tie since that would have been crazy and I have no idea what they would do, but alas James returned. It seems we were kind of denied our vote for Alex to return, and it was therefore kind of pointless but alas James returned and surprised everyone by jumping out of the box.

Everyone was then thrown into the HoH which SURPRISE was an endurance challenge. They are all standing on a little disk which is being spun around and lifted. The last person remaining on the disk will win the HoH so we will surely be in for a long night.
