Adam Wins Big Brother 9
So what do you think about that? Ol' Baller knocked it out of the park and won Big Brother 9 by a vote of 6-1. I am definitely glad that Adam whooped Ryan's tail in the votes. Adam even plans on sticking to his promise to the jury of giving $100,000 to the United Autism Foundation for an after-school program. It will be really interesting to see what he really does with it though since they've given him the boot due to his comments at the beginning of the season.
The only one that voted for Ryan was Joshuah and I'm not sure if he got that vote because Adam admitted to throwing competitions when Josh asked him about it or because Adam wound up screaming at him during the jury questioning. Regardless, it's obvious Josh still has some issues to work on outside of the house. Bitter much?
Speaking of bitter, Sheila was still in quite a feisty mood when she arrived at the sequester house wasn't she? On and on about Adam screwing her over and throwing her under the bus. She calmed down enough eventually though because her key was for him to win the big money.
Now let's talk about these people's outfits. Chelsia and Natalie both looked ready to wrap their legs around a tall silver pole this evening. Could Chelsia's tube top dress been any shorter? And Natalie really needs to toss that light blue hooker dress. Another fashion don't tonight was Ryan's girl, Jen. Seriously, you should have picked one size larger honey. What to say about James and his pink shirt and purple pants. Are even blue jeans too dressy for you? And what about the Bobsey twins, Adam and Ryan? I wonder how long it took them to pick out their outfits of black shirts and blue jeans.
Julie calling Adam out on his lying to Ryan about telling Natalie he voted for him was hilarious. Even more hilarious was when they showed Josh's fake crying to Adam. Everybody was laughing hysterically at that clip. I thought it was interesting that Jen still holds such hard feelings towards Allison and her comments about Jen not being good enough for Ryan. Jen, you have your man so move on already. How appropriate that Allison said she had no hard feelings towards Jen though. She really made Jen look like quite the loser there.
There was another prize awarded this evening besides Adam winning his $500,000 and Ryan winning his $50,000. America had the opportunity to vote during the live show for who their favorite juror was. The winner of that would receive a cool $25,000. I thought for sure it would have been between Natalie and James but it was Sheila that wound up coming in second place. James came in first! Woohoo! Don't be too bitter now Natalie fans.
The show closed as always with everybody gathered around Julie Chen hugging and shaking hands. I even saw Allison and Jen hug! Sheila and Alex spent quite a long time hugging. I really don't think Sheila wanted to let him go! Now I wish I could be a fly on the wall for the conversations between Sharon and Jacob in the coming days. Will they get back together or won't they?
I can't wait to see pics from the wrap party tonight. Those are always fun and I'll get links to those posted as soon as they start rolling in. I also hope this season's blooper reel gets put out this season like it did last season. There should also be tons of interviews coming out in the following week and I'll get those posted as they come in as well.
So what did you think about tonight's finale? What did you think about the jury questioning? Was it as harsh as Adam and Ryan made it sound? Who were your fashion hits and misses this evening? What are your thoughts on the votes going 6-1 in Adam's favor? Are you glad that Adam won Big Brother 9? Finally, are you ready for Big Brother 10?

Adam Or Ryan?
Today is the day. It's our final day to watch these two buffoons in the house before one of them is crowned the winner of Big Brother 9. Happy happy joy joy.
After returning home from dinner with friends last night, I actually checked out the feeds for the first time yesterday. What was going on? Ryan and Adam talking about how much Sheila loves receiving oral sex. Let's see, what else? Oh, Adam swam a little in the pool, Ryan lifted some weights, Adam read some of the Bible, and Ryan worked on his manscaping by shaving his entire body. Really fun stuff I tell ya.
When I woke up this morning, the first thought that came to my mind was tonight's finale of Big Brother. My next thought was about Big Brother 10 beginning on July 13th. I am so ready for this season to be over and for the next one to start. I will probably turn on the feeds a few times today though just to watch them getting ready for the finale and to see their excitement at the game finally being over. But I won't be paying that close of attention because today has NASCAR in Talladega and it's also the second day of the NFL draft. I'm really hoping my team has a good day with their picks. Gooooo Texans!
I think Adam will definitely be the winner tonight with probably a 4-3 (possibly a 5-2) vote. But I'm more excited about seeing all of the other hamsters than I am about the winner being chosen. What about you? Who do you think is going to win tonight?

The Jury Asks
It's always fun each season watching the final hamsters' reactions to the jury questioning. This season is no exception. Baller especially had me rolling with laughter. It seems Sheila was still a tad bit upset and really took it out on the boys. Also from what the boys said, Sharon and Josh went off on them. They gave James kudos though for being level-headed.
Check out the videos below to watch their reactions yourself. Pay close attention to the audio leak at 5:52 in the first video. Will Adam get Sheila's vote or will she calm down before she casts her vote?
If you want to see more of their reactions, you can find even more videos here.
Did you find these videos as funny as me? How'd you like that audio leak in the first video?

Chat With Dick And Janelle Tonight
I just wanted to remind all of you that Dick and Janelle will be chattin' it up and taking questions from everybody at 9:00 PM ET/8:00 PM CT on the feeds this evening.
Be sure to turn on Feed 4 to check it all out. If you want to ask a question, just park yourself in the lobby of the chat area within Real Player and fire away. And keep an eye out for a question from yours truly! Will I ask a question to just Janelle or just Dick or might I take a walk on the wild side and ask them both? I guess you'll have to tune in to find out.
ETA at 7:05 PM - Let's just say that if you didn't watch this "chat" then you didn't miss anything. It was pandemonium and not in a fun way. Things began spiraling out of control in a tad under ten minutes and viewers were left to watch fifty minutes of pure crap. Please understand, I'm not saying that because of my dislike of Dick in last season or my dislike of Janelle in All-Stars. I actually don't mind them (especially Dick) outside of their season but this truly was crap. This might come as a shock to some of you, but all they did was basically talk about themselves and their seasons of Big Brother. A moderator was sorely needed tonight as was a limit to Dick and Janelle's supply of alcohol. Fame whores are bad enough but drunk fame whores are even worse.

And That's That
I find myself sitting here in unfamiliar territory.
Of course, the show was exactly the way we knew it would go based on what information we'd gleaned from the live feeds. We knew that Adam was planning on throwing this last part of the HOH competition and it almost seems like Ryan was trying to throw it as well. To win that last part with only 3 out of 6 points should be embarrassing. At least Adam has the excuse of trying to lose. Could Ryan really have been so stupid as to try to lose as well just to see if Adam would take him to the finals?
Both of them obviously threw the answer to the last question concerning Sharon. How they both chose the wrong answer concerning Chelsia was mind-blowing as well. I also couldn't believe they answered incorrectly on Natalie's question. Either way, both of these guys are freaking morons.
Regardless, I'm still sitting here. The show is over. I finished my liveblogging post. I'm watching the comments come in. But I haven't turned my feeds back on.
I've said for weeks now that I couldn't care less really about any of these people and that I would be focusing on their gameplay. But I really haven't seen any. Natalie did decent when it came to competitions but she was a bumbling idiot who only thought she knew what the game involved. Sharon tried too hard too late with the wrong person. Her sitting on the block five times in a row made her entirely too confident.
When it came down the final three, I was pulling for Adam to win final HOH and take Sheila with him to the finals. Why? I don't like Ryan and feel that Sheila could do more with the money than Ryan could. That's not to say that Ryan or Adam couldn't do something with the money but, again, I just don't like Ryan. Hell, I never thought I'd like Adam either considering how he started this season out. To top it all off, I would have never picked this bumbling group of idiots as our final three and now final two either. So I still want Adam to win.
And yet I'm still sitting here. Even though I want Adam to win, I don't truly care if he does. Even though I don't like Ryan, I don't truly care if he wins. And even if Sheila had made it to the final two, I wouldn't truly care if she won either.
I'm sure I can speak for most Big Brother fans and say it's always fun, or at least interesting, to root for people you really love or root against people you really love to hate. And sometimes, like last season, you find yourself rooting for the lesser of two evils or your favorite of favorites.
But we don't have that this season. I'm not feeling it. I'm certainly not feeling it from readers here. I'm not feeling it from posters on other web sites and message boards. It seems as though most people really don't care who wins or loses.
Simply put, what we're left to watch in the house are two things. One who grunts continuously and shovels food into his mouth at every opportunity he gets and the other who can't keep his fingers out of his nose and hands away from his balls. One who's a racist and one who's a con. But don't you know, they'll be pimpin' Diddy style up in the house until the finale on Sunday. Because after all, that's how they roll.
So what are your thoughts after the show tonight? Are you sitting there with the feeds on or off? Do you truly care who wins? If so, why? What did you think about Sheila's emotional exit and her talk with Julie? Do you think both of the boys were trying to throw the final part of the HOH competition? Tell me!

Liveblogging - Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008
-:45 - Well here we are. The last live show before the finale on Sunday the 27th. Looking back on things, the season actually seems to have flown by. Tonight, we'll find out who the final HOH of Big Brother 9 will be which will, in turn, set our final two. Will it be Adam? Will it be Ryan? And who will they bring with them into the finals? We're going to find out soon. If you like, jump into chat (the link is over there on the right) to follow along with the show this evening. If you don't like chat, you can also refresh this page while the show is on and I'll update you as the events unfold. Buckle your seat belts everybody! It could be a bumpy ride.
:00 - Previously on Big Brother....
:03 - Hey there Julie! Pretty in yellow! It's day 77 and we're down to the final 3. With the finale right around the corner, deals and promises are changing by the minute. Moments before last night's show began, Ryan and Adam struck a deal that sent Sharon out the door. Tonight is all about these three as they fight it out in a three part battle in the final HOH. Then, that person will cast the final eviction vote live. But first, the houseguests found themselves up a creek without a paddle.
:04 - Back to the start of part 1 of the HOH competition "Up A Creek". The competition starts now. Sheila in DR says this part is really important because the person that wins this advances to the third round. She says the water was like ice water and felt like there were cubes in it. She's up there freezing cold and battling one of her biggest fears - she was in Hawaii and almost drownded in a hurricane. She's afraid of the water. She says she had to face her fear because she was playing for half a million dollars.
:05 - 22 minutes in, Adam asks BB to raise the platform up a little more steeper. Sheila tells him to stop it. Sheila's teeth are chattering and Adam laughing. Footage of Adam standing and voting to evict Sharon. Sheila in DR says she was blown away that Adam decided to keep her and was prepared to walk out the door. This is the guy she got set up on the first day of the house and hated him but he's become like her best friend. It blows her mind they're still there. Ryan in DR says that Adam is doing his dirty work for him and no blood on his hands. Adam in DR says this solidified the bond between him and Sheila so that if Sheila wins round 2 she'll take him with her to the finals.
:07 - Everybody hugging after Sharon gone. Ryan in DR says that Adam came to him before the eviction with a different plan. Footage of Adam in bedroom. Adam in DR says what is he thinking about voting Sheila out because Sheila doesn't have as good a chance as Sharon. He'd rather talk to Ryan right now and tell him this was best for both of them when he knew in reality it would be best for him. Adam/Ryan talking. Ryan says they should stick with the plan. Adam tells Ryan that they both could beat Sheila. Adam tells Ryan that he'd take him to final two because Sheila ain't going to win it. Ryan in DR says he believed Adam is being truthful to him. It's easier to make final two by getting rid of Sharon over Sheila.
:09 - Sheila in DR can't believe it's just her and Ryan and Adam. Sheila crying after they kept her at the kitchen table. Sheila in DR says she never would have dreamt this in a million years. She wants to make it to the end with Adam. She wants it to be her and Adam.
:10 - Back to the HOH competition. Ryan in DR says it's basically them two guys against Sheila and that Sheila has no chance. Sheila in DR says the water in front of her reminded her of the water in Hawaii. Adam and Ryan saying they're good in the competition. Ryan in DR says their plan on going into the competition was to psych Sheila out. Sheila in DR said the guys were taunting her and she was staying focused by concentrating on her son.
:11 - Sheila saying she feels like she has hypothermia. The guys are being loud and boisterous. Sheila drops after 36 minutes. Sheila in DR says her whole body was freezing so she decided to fall so she wouldn't be sick and could play in the next competition. Adam told Ryan, "Told you she would fall."
:12 - Adam and Ryan talking about Adam dropping. Ryan says he's got him and Adam drops. Then Ryan drops. Ryan in DR says that everything is going to plan and that Adam let go to prove that he would be true to Ryan. Adam in DR says that Sheila thinks he's with her and Ryan thinks he's with them. He doesn't really care as long as one of them takes him to the final two.
:13 - Julie tells us Sheila and Adam battle it out in round two coming up. Then the final round. Stay with us. Commercial.
:16 - Julie welcomes us back. Tells us that Ryan won first round automatically advancing to round three. Now Adam and Sheila are forced to compete against each other.
:17 - Adam in DR says he wants to win this competition. Ryan tells them they will play this part of the comp separately. Go wait in your rooms and BB will call you back one at a time.
:17 - Adam in BY. What we have here is a human guinea pig wheel. Attached to the wheel is a giant maze. Inside the maze is 10 balls. Each ball has the name of a former HOH on it and is held in place by a pin. Your objective is to pull the pin and get these HOH balls out of the maze one at a time. Once a ball is out of the maze, place it in the correct order they held the prestigious position. The first houseguest to get all the balls out and place them in the correct position will win the second round.
:18 - Adam in DR says it was a difficult balancing act because you had to get the wheel to go round to maneuver the correct ball out. It looks like a fairly easy physical competition but quite a mental one. He got Alex/Amanda first.
:19 - Sheila on guinea pig wheel. She knew Alex/Amanda were first but it was harder to get them out that she thought it would be. She wants to prove to people that she can win something in this game.
:20 - Now footage of both of them (filmed separately). Sheila says she began feeling sick to her stomach because she hates roller coaster rides. Footage of her almost falling down. Footage of Adam getting his fifth set. Sheila's on her seventh. Adam gets all 10 of his. Sheila gets all of her 10.
:21 - Ryan tells them that the houseguest with the fastest time will face him in the final round. It took Sheila 33 minutes and 26 seconds. Adam took 14 minutes and 55 seconds. Adam will be moving on the third and final round to face Ryan. Adam in DR says there's only one more comp left and he's on top of the world.
:21 - Inside the kitchen, Sheila tells Adam he kicked her butt. Her life is in his hands now. She knows he's going to win. He's going to kick his ass and take some names. Adam tells her he's going to do the best he can. Sheila tells him he has to win. Sheila asks if he really wants to take her to the end and Adam says why wouldn't he? Ryan comes out. Things get quiet. Ryan smiling and asks Adam if they did it and says them two to the final two. Adam tells him he had the master plan. Ryan told Adam he proved his loyalty to him. Adam said he'll be winning the $500,000 now. Ryan in DR shocked that Adam said that and said that Adam doesn't have it wrapped up. He thinks he has a chance against Sheila. Sheila in DR says she has to trust Adam to take her to the end. Adam in the DR says he doesn't know what he's doing.
:23 - To the living room. Julie congratulates Adam and Ryan on winning the first parts of the competition. Julie asks Sheila how it's made her feel to be at the mercy of the two guys. Sheila says it's a scary place to be sitting, she's nervous, feels helpless, and hopes somebody wants to take her to the end. Sheila says that Adam is starting to look really good to her right now. Julie asks the three about how they're thinking the jury will vote. Asks them how confident the jury will vote for them to win on a scale of 1 to 10. Ryan says a 3 because of a girlfriend and winning a luxury. Sheila feels uncomfortable after some fights in the house and hopes it's a 4. Adam says he'll take a 5 to lowball them. Julie tells Ryan/Adam in just a few moments they'll face off against each other.
:25 - Who will be the final HOH? Find out when we return. Commercial.
:30 - Julie welcomes us back. Let's see what's been happening at the jury house now that Natalie has been reunited with Matt and Sharon has arrived. Matt/Josh joking around. Natalie cooking in kitchen. Natalie says her and Matt don't spend much time in the house at all. When she walks in a room Matt gets up and leaves. Natalie says her feelings for Matty go down the tubes as soon as he's mean. She doesn't really know what she feels for him. Natalie tells Josh she can't wait to get out of there and be around people who like him. She's carrying on about Matt being hateful to her. Josh tells Matt he's being mean to Natalie and Matt/Natalie begin arguing. Natalie asks to be treated like everybody else in the house.
:32 - Limo pulls up. Sharon comes inside. Josh excited. Sharon runs and hugs Josh. Natalie said she didn't expect her. Josh said he's sad that Sharon didn't make it because she deserved to win it. Matt says that Team Matty is victorious! It's time to watch the DVD.
:33 - Footage of Ryan nominating Sheila/Sharon for eviction and Adam not using the POV on Sharon and her being evicted. Chelsia told them to rewind the video and they did and caught Adam and Ryan making a face at each other. Matt says it was a great move. Sharon said maybe Ryan was threatened by her. His biggest mistake in the game was to turn on her.
:34 - Julie tells us that round three of the HOH competition is coming up live. Stay with us. Commercial.
:37 - Julie welcomes us back. The winner of this final round and becomes the HOH and evicts someone on the spot. Back to the living room and they're divided by a partition. Time to see how well they got to know the jury members. Sheila sitting in kitchen listening but can't see. Will read beginnings of statements made by six members at the jury house. For each, she will give them two choices of possible endings. The answer will be A or B. For every correct answer you get a point. The houseguest with the most points at the end of six questions wins.
:38 - Q1 - Matt said "the houseguest I wish I were nicer to" was A Natalie or B James. Both pick A. Matt said Natalie. Both correct.
:39 - Q2 - Chelsia said "the moment I'm most expecting to read about in my hometown paper" is A that I gave up half a million dollars for a showmance or B that I told everyone off on my way out the door. Both choose B. Chelsia says it was the first answer. Both wrong.
:40 - Q3 - Joshua said "the person who most deserves to win this game" is A myself or B Sharon. Ryan chooses A and Adam chooses B. Josh says it's himself. Ryan right.
:41 - Q4 - James said, "I think what will happen with me and Chelsia" is A they will bike around the world together or B their relationship will inevitably sink. Both chose B. James said it would sink. Both correct.
:42 - Q5 - Natalie said "the best showmance this season was" A me and Matty or B James and Chelsia. Both chose A. Natalie said she thought James and Chelsia. Both wrong. Ryan in the lead 3-2.
:43 - Q6 - Sharon said "the biggest lie I told in the house" was A that my back caused me to fall in the HOH glass house comp or B I never told a lie in the BB house. Both chose B. Sharon said her biggest lie was her back. Both wrong. Ryan wins with 3 points against Adam's 2 points. Ryan is the final HOH.
:44 - Julie tells us Ryan is about to evict Adam or Sheila live. Who will it be? Stay with us. Commercial.
:46 - Julie welcomes us back and tells us that Ryan must now choose who to evict between Adam or Sheila.
:46 - Adam gets a chance to plead his case. Adam says bros to the end, he's worked hard the entire game, and hopes he does the right thing. Sheila (crying) tells Ryan that he's carried her this far in the game and trusted her, has followed through on everything she said she would do, if she goes to the final two it will change her life, if he picks her she will be grateful and so happy.
:47 - It's time for Ryan to cast his vote. He tells them they're both deserving for different reasons. Ryan says Sheila earned her way into the final three. Says he's been boys with Adam and is more deserving as far as gameplay. Ryan evicts Sheila. Sheila upset. Adam smiling. Both hug Sheila at the same time. Sheila crying and walks out without saying anything. Sheila out of the house really upset.
:48 - Sheila meets Julie. Adam tells Ryan in the kitchen that she was playing them the whole time and now it's party time. Ryan said he's going by gameplay. They slap hands and yell, "Party time!"
:49 - Julie tells Sheila she looks devastated. Sheila says she is because she thought Adam would win this and take her to the end. What went on between her and Adam was acting. She thinks she played a really good game. Julie tells her she's walking out with no money but did she walk out with any lessons. Sheila said this was the toughest thing she ever did in her life leaving her son for three months (she's crying again) and there were some horrible times in the house. She tried to better their lives and the fact that this didn't happen has really devastated her. Julie tells her she should be proud to make it this far with all of the young people. Sheila says she feels like being in the final three was a blessing but feels she disappointed his son, his birthday is on Friday, she wanted to win this to better their lives and right now can't even comprehend what's happening and is shocked. Julie asks her if she would have done anything differently. Sheila says she conquered a fear in that final HOH competition and there were alot of things in the comps that frightened her and she went in with the attitude that she had to overcome it.
:52 - Time for goodbye messages from the boys. Ryan calls her the mother of the house and has respect for her toughing it out and will miss her. Adam says he misses her already. Talk about irony of them being paired together. He says he's sorry if he made the wrong decision and will do good things with the money. He says he'll see her soon. Sheila smiles at that. Julie asks Sheila if she'll have a relationship with Adam outside the house and Sheila said she will.
:53 - Julie tells us that coming up, we'll talk to the final two. Commercial.
:56 - Julie welcomes us back. After 77 days, it's come down to Ryan and Adam. Let's go back to the living room. She congratulates both of them. She says it looks like it's the ultimate bro-mance. They confirm it. They say they're best friends for life. Julie tells them they did a fine job making it to the end and we'll see them Sunday.
:56 - Julie tells us to tune in on Sunday at 8:00 PM ET for the season finale. The jury of seven will reunite with the first six evictees who have been watching at home everything that's been going on in the BB house. Then, the jury will crown the winner of Big Brother live. She reminds us to tune in to Big Brother After Dark and reminds us about the feeds.
:58 - Eavesdropping on Ryan/Adam. Ryan says no campaigning or nothing. Adam's fixing the living room furniture and Ryan's removing his shirt. Show's over.
And that's that!

Until Tonight
Sheila tried to campaign to the boys last night but it didn't seem to have worked too well. Ryan told her that he's taking Adam to the final two. Adam cried to her and told her that Ryan has had his back since the beginning of the game and she didn't.
Adam's spine is still laying around somewhere and his brain seems to have been probed by aliens. He told Ryan that he's going to throw the third part of the HOH competition tonight so that Ryan wins it and gets rid of Sheila. I guess Adam doesn't want to do the dirty work eh? And to throw the first part of the HOH competition I can kind of understand but the final part? That's just crazy!
Ryan has to know that he has a better chance at winning the game with Sheila next to him over Adam. I think if Adam stays then Adam will win. The votes from the jury would be closer between Ryan and Sheila and he would have a chance at swinging some people.
If Adam does throw the competition tonight and lets Ryan win, who do you think Ryan should take to the end? Do you think Ryan would stick with the bros before hos thing or do you think he'd turn on Adam at this late point in the game? If Adam is blowing smoke up Ryan's almost always thinly exposed rear, who do you think he should take to the end? Do you think Adam has the balls to vote out Ryan and take his former partner in the house, Sheila, to the end?

Up A Creek
You know what sucked about this show? The fact that it would have been even better if we had been able to watch the live feeds of the first part of the HOH competition. I know some of you may be getting tired of myself and others continuing to carry on about it but I can't help it. That's all I could think about during the "live" show tonight.
The show began with Julie welcoming us just as she normally would for any other live show -- except that it wasn't live. We picked up after Ryan's nomination of Sheila and Sharon. Sharon just laughed about being nominated in the diary room while Sheila went off to sulk and cry in her bed. Sharon joined her and told her that if she were to win POV that she would pull her off the block. She didn't do a good job of lying but Sheila played along by saying that it was them girls against the guys at this point.
Of course, we then saw Sharon telling Ryan that they have to get Adam out followed by Adam and Sheila telling each other that they have the other one's back. This was all after Ryan telling Adam that he wants Sheila out next and Adam promised he'd send her packing. Sharon never did let up on Ryan though and we were shown several times this evening during the show that she was seriously pushing hard for Ryan to send Adam packing if Ryan won the POV this week. This is part of what I enjoy about the shows at the end of each season. There is so much more time for production to show us more of the game talk going on in the house.
The Power of Veto competition was an interesting one and it was actually hard for me to stop laughing throughout the thing. A section of the backyard was quartered up so that Ryan, Adam, Sheila, and Sharon couldn't see what the others were doing. Each of them had five horses with headless jockeys riding them on a wall and they had to put the face of the Big Brother jury member on the jockey's body as well as hanging up two clues that pertained to that juror. They could only work on one racehorse at a time and must work in the order that the jury members were evicted. I found it hilarious that they had to keep jumping over this wall made up of bales of hay between the clues and the wall with the jockeys and racehorses on them. Of course, the funniest was what the jockeys looked like with Matt, Chelsia, Josh, James, and Natalie's faces on them. Hilarious!
I'm not sure if it was the editing or if it was real but it seemed like Adam wasn't doing that bad of a job in the competition. Regardless, Ryan wound up winning and told us all in the diary room that he now controls everybody's fate in the house at this point and that they have to kiss his butt. He's playing his self-proclaimed power whore role quite nicely if I do say so myself.
Since Ryan won the POV it was time for more strategy talk in the house. Ryan told Adam that he trusted him and Adam promised to get rid of Sheila if that's what he wanted him to do. Adam told Sharon that he knew she'd keep Ryan around if she won the final HOH and boldly offered to keep her this week if she'd promise to take him to the final two. Sharon refused the handshake on that. Sharon ran and told Ryan what had happened and then Ryan confronted Adam about it a little bit later. Sheila told Adam that she has his back in the game and needs the money.
When Julie checked in with the houseguests in the living room before the Power of Veto ceremony, she asked Ryan if he was worried about holding all of this power for so long. Ryan, in his humble nature, said absolutely not and that it was good for him. Julie told Sharon that she was the first houseguest in Big Brother history to be nominated five times in a row and Sharon said she'd been able to evade eviction so many times thanks to the faither of her fellow houseguests and the grace of God. Julie asked Sheila and Adam about their being shackled together and they gave her their typical 'I hate him, I like messing with her' responses.
The POV meeting and subsequent eviction was fairly straightforward. Ryan told them that the best thing about winning the POV as the HOH is that nobody can change your nominations. He wasn't going to be changing them so it was then Adam's time to evict either Sharon or Sheila. After a boring and predictable speech from Sharon and a sweet speech from Sheila, Adam told Sharon that she was evicted. Sharon didn't really seem too shocked to me. Sheila was the one that was shocked. Sheila began to cry immediately and didn't stop until before the HOH competition. Seriously, Sheila was bawling. She couldn't believe that Adam had kept her over Sharon. I think she'd really come to terms with being evicted and was shocked when it didn't happen.
Sharon's talk with Julie was rather ho-hum up until Julie asked her about Jacob. Sharon actually said that if her and Jacob could make it work she'd like to try. I was kinda shocked but Julie was especially shocked. I wonder what Jacob thought when he watched that tonight. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at that moment. Everybody's goodbye videos were very nice but of course they would be. They were playing to a jury member now.
And finally, we saw the beginning of the HOH competition called "Up A Creek." I'm still bitter about not being able to watch any of this on the feeds but basically, they were on boogie boards with running water underneath on a tilted platform. And then, it began to rain. Now that's a shocker. This was an HOH competition that clearly favored hamsters with upper body strength -- no question about that.
Tomorrow evening, at 8:00 PM ET live (fur-real this time), the final HOH will be crowned and will cast the sole vote in the final eviction of the season thereby choosing who to sit with them in the final two.
So what did you think about the show tonight? My favorite parts of the show was when Sheila and Adam were shackled together. It was cool to hear the diary room voice on the show. That certainly doesn't happen very often!

The Winner Of Round Two Is
The results of the second round of the HOH competition are a real shocker!!! Parker and Amanda came back in to help Adam while Jacob and Alex came in to help Sheila. The previously evicted hamsters had to help them count the number of loops in the living room carpet. Sheila won by default because Parker and Amanda went to the bathroom in the middle of the competition to catch up on things leaving Adam all by himself. Big Brother didn't want the competition to continue for another six hours so they declared Sheila the winner!
Gotcha! Puh-lease, as if!
Seriously, the feeds just came back and Adam won the second part of the HOH competition. It will be between Ryan and Adam in the final round on the live show tomorrow evening.
Who do you want to win? I sooooo want Adam to win and I soooooo hope that he gives Ryan the boot. Watching Sheila and Adam in the house alone for the last few days would be so much more exciting than watching Ryan and Adam. Perhaps, Adam and Sheila might even make out. Now you can't tell me you don't want to see that. hehehe
Well, let me know what you're thinking and what you want to happen now at this point.
