After over 60 days in the house, Sheila has finally won her first challenge and first taste of power. On last Wednesday we were left with the houseguests dangling in their “torture chambers” as they vied for HoH. Sharon was the first to drop out, citing that she hurt her back the night before. For some reason I think Sharon throws a bunch of these challenges. She knows she’ll go up but seeing her streak, she also stays each and every time. After about two hours the deal making began. Sheila wanted the HoH badly but Natalie and Ryan knew they to be safe. Sheila told Ryan fairly early that she wouldn’t put him up since he saved her, but Natalie was a different story. Natalie was worried Sheila would put her up so Sheila promised her she wouldn’t be nominated. When Adam and Sharon returned outside Ryan quickly dropped. This mean Natalie should have dropped to give Sheila the win. But Natalie took her good old time, saying she couldn’t do it since she wasn’t a quitter.

After about 30 minutes of Natalie wavering back and forth and asking “what would Jesus do”, she dropped down giving Sheila the win. I’m happy for Sheila as she has been playing an interesting game and could possibly win. It was obvious who she would put up, Adam and Sharon, so they spent the rest of the episode promoting the “Natalie has lied to everyone” bit. It was all about Natalie and her lies and basicially securing the votes for her to go. The plan is for Adam to come off the block and Natalie going up and out. Although that was the center of the show, Sheila’s HoH room played a huge one as well. She was the only one to not see her family since the show began so it was nice to see her react to that. All in all it was a pretty good episode. Will the plan to get Natalie out work? Find out next Wednesday when I’ll tell you!

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.

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!

Lately some of the houseguests in the Big Brother house have been acting a little childish *cough*chelsia*cough*. So I’ve decided to create a little snippet of just how childish the houseguests, especially one, seems. Let me know what you think after you watch!
