Big Brother 9 is quickly coming to an end and tonight we reached the second to last episode where the final two was crowned. The show began where the last left off as Adam, Ryan and Sheila were hanging on for dear life as a stream of water wanted to push them down a steep slope. As the challenge progressed we learned that Sheila almost drowned in Hawaii several years ago and she had a deep fear of water. It wasn’t that apparent though until she finally let go some 36 minutes into the endurance challenge. Knowing that he had to get back onto Ryan’s good side, Adam gave up as well giving Ryan the first win of the three part HoH.
It was then down to Sheila and Adam to compete in the second part of the HoH. It was a very interesting one and one of the best the series has had. What they had to do was spin in a giant hamster wheel to maneuver several balls through a maze on the inside of the wheel. These balls had names of the previous HoHs on them and they had to then align them in the order people on Head of Household. Through the power of editing it made it seem as Adam and Sheila both performed equally well in the challenge, although Sheila did stumble a few times. In the end Adam pulled out a victory beating Sheila by half of her time. This mean that Adam and Ryan would compete in the live final part of the HoH.
Before the last HoH and eviction could occur we were shown a glimpse of the past as I mentioned last night. They showed Adam telling Ryan that Sharon was the better person to evict, showing that Ryan did in fact know that Sharon was leaving. They also showed Adam promising Sheila and Ryan that he would go to the end with them. It was interesting to see since Ryan entered only as Sheila left and Adam switched gears just as fast.
Next up was the jury house which I was very excited to see. I wanted to know what Matt and Natalie were doing and it seems they are back to their old ways. Natalie still seems to like him but Matty is on the defense and still treating her bad. He did say in the HoH that he wanted to treat her better but it doesn’t seem like he’s using his current chance in the jury house to do so. Sheila then came in and everyone was surprised. They then watched the DVD of the latest events and something interesting happened. As they watched Sharon walk out the door someone caught Ryan and Adam gesture to each other. At that point they realized the two had been working together and were very tight for a long time now. It also pointed out to Sharon that Ryan did in fact know she was going last night.
It was then time for the last HoH to occurr and it was rather obvious who would win. Adam basically threw it to Ryan, knowing Ryan would take him. Although at some points it seemed as if Adam could have won, since he mistakenly chose the right answer, Ryan pulled through with a single point to take the last HoH. He then had to evict either Adam or Sheila and took the obvious route of sending Sheila packing. This then led into a string of tear drawn answers to Julie’s questions. Although Sheila does seem upset she should have realized that Ryan would have taken Adam. She even told Adam that Ryan would never take her so I’m not exactly sure where the tears came from. In the end Adam and Ryan are the final two that could have been predicted since Natalie left the game. One of them will take home the $500,000 and the other will soon learn he’s out of the job thanks to a comment he made that CBS exposed.
With four players left it was time for Big Brother 9 to finally get down to its final three. Last time Ryan won a very controversial HoH and placed both Sheila and Sharon on the block. Sheila didn’t take this nomination so well simply because she was on the block. Does she forget Sharon has been nominated five weeks in a row? I’m not sure why Sheila was scared since her and Adam have been close the entire game but it seems like she doesn’t remember that.
Although it was somewhat agreed that Sharon would go from the get-go Ryan, thanks to Sharon, was worried that Adam may take Sheila to the end. This made Ryan think that Sharon would stay, since they had a secret alliance, and he would basically be taken to the end by both Sharon or Adam. With this thought in his mind Ryan went to Adam and asked him to evict Sheila, his ex-partner, keeping Sharon in the game. Adam seemed to go along with this idea but also said he’d say anything to simply make it to the final two.
Before the Power of Veto could occur it was time to chain Adam and Sheila together. It was a very humorous segment to see the two bicker with each other. It seems as though they act the part very well as we all know they are very close to each other. Its almost like the “All in the Family” couple where they always fought and bickered yet loved each other in the end. Although I don’t think Sheila or Adam really “love” each other, they are closer then ever and could just go to the final two.
It was then time for the PoV where the houseguests had to match pictures of the jury members and two statements about that person. In the beginning Sheila took a very surprising lead but Ryan caught up to her. It was then a battle between those two on who would win the very last veto. Ryan ended up claiming victory and called himself the “power whore”. He really is as he’s won a ton of challenge lately and although he came in not knowing much about the game, he sure has proven himself worthy of a win simply due to his challenge skills.
Knowing that nobody was really safe now something very odd happened. Adam asked Sharon for a deal that if she promised to take him to the final two that he would keep her. She kind of freaked out and wouldn’t let him know either way. This small gesture then set off a chain of events. Sharon quickly went to Ryan and let him know what Adam had just done. He was very angry and believed at that point that Adam was closer to Sheila then he thought. When Sharon left Adam then went up to the HoH room and lied his ass off to Ryan. He told Ryan that Sharon was the one to ask for the deal and even said it seemed like Sharon had a deal with Ryan simply from that “gesture”. This then sent Adam and Ryan into a yelling match which made it seem like the veto could possibly be used.
It was then time for the veto ceremony and eviction to occur. Ryan was asked to do the veto “live” right in front of Julie although it wasn’t live for us. He chose to not use it and it was assumed he thought Sheila would go. Adam then had to vote for either Sharon or Sheila to be evicted. He chose to evict Sharon, after five nominations, to leave the game once again. Although Ryan acted shocked he was in fact in the loop that Sharon would be evicted. It wasn’t shown on the show but they agreed that Sharon should go shorty before the show was taped.
After Sharon’s short talk with Julie it was then time for the HoH to begin. The players all sat on a boogie-board and had to hold onto a rope. They were then raised to a slop where water began pouring down on them from the slop and as rain. The last person hanging on would win the first part of the three part HoH and automatically move to the last round of the HoH. Although the show was shown tonight we already know who won the first and second part of the HoH. To find out highlight the following: Ryan won the 1st part of the HOH and Adam won the 2nd part of the HoH.
