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.

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.
