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!

Feeds or off and will probably stay that way.
Don't care who wins.
Sheila cried almost as much as Amber did last year. Get a job if you want a better life for your son.
Either they were both trying to lose or they are just plain dumb.

i do not agree at all. i have been a ryan and adam fan since the exit of matty and i do care who wins. you can hate all u want hamster master or whateva but these two have controlled the house this season more than anyone and deserve it more than anybody else.

WooHoo! She-Devil now Be Gone!
I'm so happy! The evil woman still sat there and thought that Ryan should pick her just because she is Sheila! She made such an idiot of herself with all that pity seeking from America after it no longer worked on the HG's! Give me a break! She whined and cried with NO TEARS! PLEASE!
I agree that she should get a job and work to improve her life instead of convincing people that she is entitled to a better life just because its her!
Feeds are no longer on here either! Just dont really care! I would like to see Special Children receive the benifits of Adam's donation so I guess that I will pull for Adam still! I am just happy that the She-Devil is GONE!
Come on BB10!!!!
Posted by: LisaS at April 23, 2008 07:03 PM
I feel the same way, HD. I just spent 55 minutes on HOLD trying to cancel my live feeds. There's no way I'm going to pay $$$ to watch these 2 clowns. While on hold; I went to the live chat because I was tired of listening to the stupid music; then I got disconnected from the phone - then finally, Joseph,from the chat, got my service canceled. I would have kept it if Sheila was in.
I don't care who wins. Yes, I'll still read the blogs and watch the show; but I don't really care. I was surprised Sheila's emotional exit wasn't worse!!
I hope BB10 has better houseguests.
Did anyone else notice they didn't show Natalie's arrival to sequester? I wonder why? Would have loved to see the look on Matty face when she showed up!!
BTW, HD - again, a BIG thank you to you for all you do! I so enjoy reading your site more than any others!
From HD - Thanks Beth! :)
Posted by: Beth at April 23, 2008 07:06 PM
This season Sheila was almost as bad as Amber was last season as far as crying and being a hypocrite goes. So glad they didn't let her get to the final 2.
I think Adam will win hands down over Ryan. I actually think Adam and Ryan have been funny together though. I didn't like Adam in the beginning and yeah he says and does some gross things, but I think he's funny and I also think he is a very caring guy. Yeah he was also a bit of a con in the house with playing dif sides, but you have to be in that game.
I hope Ryan will see that Jen told people he's a racist and hope he'll end up getting rid of her once he's out of there. She's one of the main reasons he has no chance to win the game.
It was kinda painful to watch the jury house. Matt is still being ridiculously mean to Natalie. Hopefully she's realized how he really is and could care less about him anymore.
I know a lot of you don't feel the same way, but I've felt that this season was actually pretty good and pretty entertaining.
Looking forward to the next one in July also.
Posted by: Recca at April 23, 2008 07:06 PM
Dear Hamster Dame, just wanted to thank you for your postings and say that I am with you that I could care less about these two rubes. It is trully a season of choosing between the lesser or two evils. With that, my choice would be Baller over Load in his Pants. Didn't do the feeds this season and relied on your postings daily to keep up with the show. I simply couldn't bring myself to pay to watch these miscreants this season. Hope BB10 will have game players instead of these poor participants. Thanks again for your site; look forward to the summer show and your site. Adios
Posted by: Cat at April 23, 2008 07:06 PM
I've had the feeds off since Josh left. I only really liked to watch him and Chelsia because they brought most of the drama.
I like Adam, but I don't really care who wins. I didn't want Ryan in the F2. I can't stand men who beat women and he admitted on the feeds that he has hit Jen.
Posted by: SimplyKimberly at April 23, 2008 07:07 PM
I need you out there to tell me if I'm wrong, please......I think that Adam and Sheila are together...whether married or dating...
her crying tonite was soooooooo fake!!!
I watch Showtime...and it has appearred to me over the last month that they have a chemistry that is deep despite how they "act" with one another....
Any thoughts???
Posted by: Sonia at April 23, 2008 07:09 PM
I can't even call Sheila's crying 'crocodile tears' because there were no freaking tears.
Do I care who wins? My answer to that is: Bring on Season 10!
Thanks again for a fab season of blogging and keeping me up to date, even though this season was kinda sucky you rocked :)
From HD - Thanks Steph!
Posted by: Steph at April 23, 2008 07:09 PM
HD,... lol.. I think for the most part we are all shocked.. stunned and scratching.... (humm not our balls.. that's Baller's job ) LOL.. our heads.. like what the hell are these two morons thinking?? There is half a million dollars on the line.. LOL... why would you take your so called "bro" to the end when that 'bro' is gonna get the half million?? LOL.. Isn't the point to this 'game' winner take all ?? like pick the person you know the jury isn't going to vote for best game play.. OOOPS... I forgot ..They the Bro's wrote this script ending.. LOL.. Watching the Jury house and Sharon Seeing what Ryan did to her plain as day.. with Chel's help how he screwed her.. lol.. hmmm guess the "Quick" isn't so quick now is he LOL.. as Josh said (when he was in the house still).. only thing he's Quick about is getting the FOOD TO HIS MOUTH ... LMAO .. that was priceless.!! And then there is Adam.. (mumbles) I like to call him, His throwing the HOH's was just beyond anyone's reason. He justifes with "it don't matter dude we both deserve to be here".. Ummm Adam.. Jury votes on who played the best and who won the most comps... Helllo...you just threw 2 of the most important.. place your forefinger (not up your nose ) and thumb .. shape it into the "L" lay it on your forehead.. LOSERRRRRRRRRRRR!!
Like you HD , I have not turned on the feeds to watch these two fools.
As for Sheila.. well like sharon told her she was would be the pawn at end. And she was. But now we will see what she does to turn the house upside down .. question is will she just lay back and vote the house because she doesn't care anymore.
I can honestly say I don't care who wins. They both took something away from the spirit of the show these past few days and it left a very bad taste in my mouth for them both. I don't like Ryan and I lost respect and now dislike Adam as well. So no luck to either ... just get on with it and looking forward to hopefully a better game with BB10. Thanks so much HD for keeping us all up to date with all you do for BB's. You are aces.. Ever think of maybe trying out for the BB's yourself?? You would probably win :)

Well, well this was not the most memorable BB show. Natalie drove me nuts I was so glad she got evicted. I actually liked Sharon and was pulling for her. I haven't liked Ryan from the begining and find Baller to be disgusting and not in the Evil Dick way just plain poorly brought up with manners. What mother or father would allow their male child to constantly fondle their private parts in public like he does? Its obscene and offensive. He did a good job of bullsharking his way to the end for that he wins kudos. Both men I can't stand. Shelia was more deserving however, her whining got old. I really wanted Sharon. "Baller is probably the better choice of the two.
Posted by: bh at April 23, 2008 07:14 PM
I feel like Granny. The best way to better your life is to go on a TV show and try to win money? Get an education! Get a job!
Wasn't a lot to work with in BB9. I have no favorites between the final two. I really didn't have many favorites or favorite moments. Thought that the last two seasons brought out a real meanness that wasn't there on earlier seasons.
I'll tell you this though, whoever wrote the computer program that paired all these knuckleheads up as perfect matches ought to give back his/her degree.
I won't miss the hamsters. I will miss checking out this site and the postings. Thanks for the fun.
Posted by: coach at April 23, 2008 07:16 PM
Hammy , hammy, Hammy!!!!!
Where do we start ? I know what about about the new CRYING!!!!!! Champ BIG S, and that does not stand for Sheila!!! She made Amber look good.Screw her and all her guilty trips!!!! By the way pls refresh my memory, are they getting a stipend of some sort in the bbh/ If so I think she is not coming out emptyhanded.
And just think she had a chance to get rid of Ryebread a couple of weeks ago, OH WELL I GUESS YOU DID NOT NEED THE MONEY!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
As far as who should win, well Adam is a piece of garbage for his comments about the kids, and ryan is a fat tub-olard so screw them both.
Thanks for a wonderful update season and hope to see you around for bb10.
Posted by: snowman at April 23, 2008 07:18 PM
oh wa wa wa all of the idiots on here canceling there feeds because they didnt get there own way, what a bunch of babies..
Posted by: Patricia at April 23, 2008 07:19 PM
Wow, it didn't even occur to me that either of the boys might be throwing the final HOH comp tonight. I mean I had read about them talking about doing it, but during the contest, I could only think, "What idiots! How are they getting all these questions wrong?" Anyway, no matter I guess. I confirmed my joy at Sheila being evicted when I saw her fake crying with Julie Chen - how can you cry without a single tear or even your eyes getting red?? Adam was more emotionally authentic when he gave his little "do the right thing and keep me" speech to Ryan, and that's not saying a lot.
Also, I agree with Beth (above) in that I did notice they didn't show Natalie's arrival to the jury house, and I was totally bummed. Yet another way CBS screwed us fans this season - at least those of us, and there are many, who cannot stand Natalie and would have reveled in the bliss we would have felt in seeing James, etc. light up when she walked in the jury house.
Thanks for all your hard work HD, your site is the only one really even worth checking on a regular basis. You do a fantastic, and very honest, job reporting the BB saga each season!
Posted by: Lisa at April 23, 2008 07:24 PM
SimplyKimberly - really? He admitted that he hit Jen? This is the first I've heard of this. What an ass he is.
Sonia - nah, I don't think they're connected in any way except from the show. I read some place else - probably here - that they should have stuck it out til the end "til death do us part" there may have been an extra bonus in it for each of them.
Posted by: Beth at April 23, 2008 07:24 PM
*big heavy sigh* Yup HD you're right and that's that...don't care for Ryan AT ALL and have no interest in the finale but my allegiance to you, your site and fellow voyeurs is true so I'll check back in AFTER my date on Sunday(best date night in NYC IMHO)wasn't going to go 'cause I was hoping Adam would've won final HOH/POV or whatever it's called and select Sheila but it just wasn't in the cards eh?
Threw up in my mouth - once again- watching the final moments of the boys in the house alone -_- but washed it out with a coupla shots of Tequila!...I'm much better now, thanks!
Is Claypo really going to be on 10? That would be such a hoot, I'd sip pinot for a view of that...Advanced Congrats Claypo and I hope they have the good sense to select you...Now THAT's exciting news!
Posted by: Love in Chaos at April 23, 2008 07:28 PM
I am addicted to this show, and even though my feeds are off, I still keep checking here on the BEST site on the net.
As for these Oompa Loompas that are left, I really don't care which one wins.
I absolutely despise Ryan, his arrogance and stupidity is annoying.
I truly believe his IQ cannot exceed double digits.
I am pretty sure Adam has this wrapped up. Ryan has made too many enemies, and also has his other prizes in his pocket.
As for Sheila, I couldn't help but laugh at her acting job. Talk about lame and pathetic.
I wonder why they didn't show Natalie arriving at the Jury House. That was odd, and what a shocker that Matt is treating her like crap. Didn't see that one coming, did we? And Natalie is still convinced he is her man. She will be in for a very rude awakening when she gets out.
I have rambled enough. I was hoping to see James, Sharon, or even Allison in the F2.
Thanks for operating such a wonderful site, and letting me rant occasionaly.
BB10 bring it on!
Posted by: JD at April 23, 2008 07:30 PM
The best part of this BB season has been the Silly Hamsters website. I don't have the feeds, and watched the show on CBS when I was around a TV.
Don't care who wins on Sunday--won't be near the TV for the live show; but I'll just check at your site later. It will be interesting to see who votes for whom.
Thanks for watching so that we didn't have to! And to think that I used to plan my entire schedule around Big Brother TV!
Posted by: Annie Dee at April 23, 2008 07:36 PM
I am so happy Ryan got this game in the bag I have want ryan to win from day one. I was that way last year with evil dick and I hope it is a repeat that I like one person the most and they win.
As for the Final Game any one notice that they Block half the mirror in front and in back so they could not have a repeat of last years game with the whole conspricy of E.D. cheating, I thought that was funny.
And I agree with Granny, Shelia was just as bad as Wanber last year and so Happy she is gone if she just would of not cryed as much I would of not minded her so bad.
Well thats my 2 or 5 cents in this game.
Posted by: Phillip at April 23, 2008 07:37 PM
Oh well, all this time I thought Adam was scratching/playing with his balls and NOW WE KNOW...HE WAS TRYING TO SEE IF HE HAD ANY!!! At least BB9 didn't cost me any extra money since I have had Showtime for years and gave up the feeds a few years ago because it pissed me off to hear the advertisement "Watch 24/7"...if it REALLY was 24/7 and NO trivia, flames, etc, I would be willing to pay more and maybe enjoy the goings on...Maybe Sun they will recap sequester house and show Nat's entrance..that would at least give me something to look forward to for the show..AND IN CLOSING...KUDOS TO YOU HD..looking forward to you and all you other BB nuts when BB10 starts..
Posted by: SuzieQ at April 23, 2008 07:39 PM
hey patricia - good for you being the only grown up paying for CRAP, who's the real idiot? it ain't me.
From HD - I don't consider the live feeds crap. Never have and never will. I feel sad that so many don't get them and form their own opinion based off of the the TV show, BBAD, and even my own blog just to give them the goings on. I like it when people actually watch the feeds because you can pick up on all of those extra things that just can't be included in a show or a blog post. You can YouTube all you like but there's nothing like watching something that's going on at that exact moment and being able to talk to others who are watching the same thing.
Posted by: Love in Chaos at April 23, 2008 07:39 PM
Ryan has actually been one of my favorites this season. (Actually, I was rooting for Nat, and I already know how you felt about her.) I'm looking forward to the Big Brother Austrailia, because I like the original big brother format better than the US one. I actually liked this season better than the one last summer. (That's not really saying much, though).
I appreciate your blogging the show, however, since I don't plan to watch it. (Maybe I'll watch it over the weekend if I'm really bored.) I think that Ryan has played a good game, and hope to see him win. I did like the couple twist this season. IMO, it was one of the better twists. I think the show is better over the summer, though, when we all have more time to waste on it.
Posted by: sandic at April 23, 2008 07:43 PM
Well, the best thing about having the bro's left at this point is I'll be able to get some sleep now. May have to change my name...hmmmm
Really have not cared for many in this year's crew, and the few that I did kind of, sort of, in a way, but not really -- liked, left early on. So what's the dif on who wins. Not to be confused with the diff the one who posts comments.
Clay-po and Grog - hope you get in soon - it will give us someone to cheer for.
Posted by: Sleepyeye9 at April 23, 2008 07:44 PM
No I do not think either one was trying to throw the competition. Except that Ryan didn't seem to be stressing at all since he wasn't sweating profusely.
Even though I don't much care now that my young, beautiful, sexy, hot, and self-effacing Sheila is gone, I'll probably still be watching Sunday to root Adam on over Ryan. I just feel bad that none of that money will go to autistic or special needs children since Adam is going to have to live off of it for the rest of his natural life. Unless he can get the babies to support him.
Well HD, at least for the next few nights you are gonna get some sleep!
Posted by: BenF at April 23, 2008 07:47 PM
I won't miss watching these hamsters (my feeds are off), but I will miss the community that HamsterDame has created here. I'll miss all y'all!! And the GPs! Hope Sharon gets to take the "sisters" home with her.
HamsterDame, you're a great mayor of SillyHamsterville!!! Meet y'all back here for BB10 after BB9 drags itself into oblivion!!
Posted by: Toots at April 23, 2008 07:49 PM
Yeah- I think this time there's just no one to root for or against in the final 2 (Actually, you could say it about the final 5- once James left, I would have been happy with anybody left winning.), so it's a bit boring. I have a feeling that the boys are gonna trash the house as much as BB allows them between now and the finale, not do dishes, etc.
In the end? I think Adam wins simply because some of the jury doesn't like Jen, and don't want her to win through Ryan. If Ryan wins it would be 4-3, but I think Adam wins 5-2 (Adam gets Josh,Chels,James,Nat,and Sheila. Ryan gets Matt and Sharon). It won't be 7-0. We've got one more interesting bit of the feeds before the end- and that's what the guys will say after Jury questioning. We'll probably get a better feel as to who wins then, but again, I don't think it matters.
Hey HD only 80 days til BB10.... so get some rest, you'll need it!
Posted by: David at April 23, 2008 07:57 PM
My feeds are payed until July. Won't be watching BB, but I am set for BB10! SillyHamsters is at the top of my list of favs. I'm not going anywhere just yet!!
My kids down and out at 8:00 PM, I may now have had one too many glasses of beaujolais. Feel like Nutalie and ready to talk!!!
After James left, this season became the next nerd herd. And true to that seasons ending, it's down to these two baffoons (nerds). I expect to see Maggie come out of DR anytime now! My skin is crawling as I ramble about her.
I truely don't think Adam tried to throw this comp. I don't think either are very much the scholar and just not smart enough to answer correctly. But, he made it. I find it ironic how they both say how they can walk out of the BB house with their heads held high when they both played this ridiculous game of handing each other the comps and should both hang them low. Not to mention Ryan being a racist and Adam calling disabled children, tards!
Shelia, well I won't even comment on her crying gig. I think she is a sad woman. I don't think she has at all an entitlement isssue. I think Shelia has a growing old issue. For an incredibly beautiful woman who had it all in her young life, it is obvious she doesn't know how to age gracefully nor accept that she is. Her sense of entitlement as so many have called it is IMO nothing more than she had everything handed to her for years & she knows no other way. She has no one in reality to carry her anymore. She has no education, no career. She is learning she should have banked on something besides her beauty many years ago. It's called the school of hard knocks Shelia. Too bad, so sad..
I don't believe I'll be back before BB10 so I give a found farewell to fellow posters and HD. ClayPo, I really hope you make it. I'll be keeping my eye out for waiter/esq. in BB10 and put you on the top of my favorite list. Will be waiting to see you hovering around a camera giving us all a shout and this site a plug.
BenF, Gray, Gregor, ClayPo, Sandic and Sleepyeye, (I hope I have your names right) your posts are always a delight to read whether or not I am in agreement. HD, it goes without saying, you are the best at what you do and I thank you for letting me be a part of it. I look forward to jaw jacking with all of you again in July. Enjoy your spring and catch you in the summer..
CDiff
From HD - You're going to make me cry! And in a happy way! LOL
Posted by: diff at April 23, 2008 08:02 PM
There was a game show on TV in the late 50's called "Queen for a Day". Several women contestants would tell there sorrowful life stories and the one with the worst life would be crowned "Queen for a Day". If Sheila could only go back in a time machine, she'd find herself in the right game show.
I liked Sheila for most of the season, but the last few weeks she's been brutal. She played the one note samba called "I'm a single mom" way tooo much. I was also happy to see Sharon go before her because I don't think anybody should win this type of game by hiding in the woodwork.
I can respect both Adam and Ryan and I think it's fitting they are in the final two as they've played the best games.
Ryan had the harder road to the Final 2 overcoming his "secret partner" being exposed early in the game, surviving Allison (albeit with one foot out the door), and coming on strong at the end winning HOH and POV's.
Adam played a pretty good game also by laying low during the early shows and then winning several competitions when it was needed.
The Adam/Sheila chemistry was interesting. It was a real love/hate thing. They looked like a married couple at times, but I think beneath the superficial appearances, Adam cared for Sheila and vice versa.
The Jury House looked miserable and maybe Nat got her wake up call with Matt. I think that's done. Same with James and Chelsea. Nobody seemed to be having much fun.
Like HD, I'm rooting for Adam, but I wouldn't be devastated if Ryan won.
It would be interesting to see a one year post mortem on whether any of the HG's stay in touch with each other.
Posted by: Dutch at April 23, 2008 08:03 PM
Just turned on the feeds and there they are eating lol
It didn't appear to me that Adam was trying to throw the final HOH. I believe he really wanted to win. I think if he would've Ryan would be gone!
Granny ~ I agree with you 100% Sheila get a JOB!!! What single mom in desperate need of money has the luxury of waking up, taking their son to school, going to Starbucks or wherever to get coffee, then heading off to the gym only to return home and surf the net all day. Her sense of entitlement is just mind blowing.
I believe Adams saving grace has been the fact that he still has a few cigarettes left...lol
I think Adam will win in the end and I don't think it will be because of the other's dislike for Jen. He'll lose for his own gameplay.
Posted by: bb9_observer at April 23, 2008 08:14 PM
I've jad the feeds on tonight, but I'm getting tired of watching them go to trivia every few seconds becfause Ryan and Adam start talking about how the Diary Room folks tried to talk them into keeping Sheila for the final 2. This is my first year with the feeds and I must say I'm pretty disappointed in how they operate. There are 4 cameras but they never show 4 different feeds. They have two cameras on different angles of the same feed. Today, all 4 cameras were on different angles of the same scene. Not that I minded looking at Sheila sunbathing, but where were Ryan and Adam when she was in the backyard? I would have loved to hear their scheming while oogling Sheila. ... As I said earlier, Adam will probably win unless Sheila campaigns hard against him in the Jury House. Last year, we got to see the Jury's questions at mid week. It doesn't sound like we'll get that this year, or is that on the feeds?
Posted by: AmosMoses at April 23, 2008 08:15 PM
Was it me or did some of Sheila's crying seem kind of fake when she was suppose to have been talking to Julie? I did not see one, single tear. The only thing that was going through my head was 'What the h!@#'. I think some of it was real but a majority of what she was doing seemed like she was acting. I think she secretly wants to become an actress. HMMMMMM!! :-)
What happened to us seeing when Natalie enter the sequester house? Did they just totally forget about that?
Anyway, I agree with you HD, I don't really care who win. But, I am pulling for Adam. I think I have said it in an earlier post, I am ready for BB10. I really hope they come up with better HGs, twists, and maybe like BB1 we can get involved with the eviction.
Posted by: D at April 23, 2008 08:20 PM
First off, Sheila looked like an idiot crying when she met Julie. Personally, her "act" didn't seem genuine to me and where were the tears? How could she have thought either moron would take her to the end, when Beavis & Butthead have stuck together all this time. Both were using her completely.
Ryan is a dumb f*** and I really dislike him. He thinks he wears the king's crown, and frankly, I think his game play was lousy. He was just lucky to make it to the end amongst all the other lousy players. If that guy had one braincell in his head, he would have taken Sheila because his chances of winning the big bucks would be better. I liked Ryan early on, but his cockiness turned me off. I didn't care for Adam in the beginning, but he was entertaining, and that's why I want him to win, no other reason.
I said this too many times before, and I'll end the season with the same thought: This was the worst season of BB ever and the crew they mingled together was a real bust. There were no personalities (except James) in that house - actually very boring people.
I really hope BB does some thinking about casting the summer season. They really need to mix it up in their in terms of varied aged and "regular" looking people (though Adam & Ryan are not attractive) by any means. We want excitement with the new season, BB, so bring it on.

Diff, I totally agree about Sheila, and think that's why you and I (and a few others on here) saw her in a much different light. I had a definite empathy for Sheila that I did not have for the others in the house. Not sure that she's been taken care of her whole life though and I think she's probably had to work hard for everything she's gotten the past 10-15 years at least. I still think her "sense of entitlement" was more game play to keep Adam in check than her 100% belief about it. But that's my opinion. And Diff, your posts are a delight and always fair, so thank you too! And I second your motion/emotion on HD being the very best at this! Everyone needs to check out HD's Silly Reality site too if you haven't already! It's DA BOMB.

I would pick Adam to win because he really does seem to have a big heart and I can't stand Ryan (or Jen).
This season was just a bad cast...hopefully they will make it up with a great summer cast. After James left, I didn't really find a new 'favorite.' I'm glad this was a 'bonus' season because I would have been so dissapointed to have waited all year for this group.
Cheers to a great season 10!

Is it just me or did several times the loaf look like a garden gnome? I swear all he needs is a pointy hat. As for She-dog, boo-hoo, so what you need money, look at all the people who need money here in the U.S. I am also a single mother and I frickin work to take care of my teenage son. You think you are the only one - ass!!!!
I could give a big smelly crap who wins. Both of those guys should have been out a long time ago and the others were idiots not to get rid of them. This season was more disappointing than when the nerd herd won because this one was so much more BORING to watch.
Posted by: kurly at April 23, 2008 08:32 PM
Why didn't they show Nat arriving at sequester? That's the main reason I watched tonight's show!
Posted by: loulou at April 23, 2008 08:38 PM
I could have written the same exact thing as you, HD...same feelings toward this season, the uninteresting hamsters.
As much as I was hoping (before the final show) that Adam would win and take Sheila, I lost any respect I MIGHT have had for him. He and Ryan didn't even get the meaning of "deserving". Of course that shouldn't surprise any of us.
I also lost respect for Sheila when she lost and "whined" herself off the show. How pathetic.
Ryan is a "poser" and indeed if he IS a racist as Jen said, he is doing his damndest to try and be what he supposedly dislikes.
I also feel like this is a dud of an ending to a dud of a season.
The only terrific thing out of this is that I talk to my friend and fellow BB addict (3.000 miles away) nearly every day throughout every season. We argue and laugh over all the idiots in the house and ultimately end up saying every time, in the end,..."Can't wait til next season".
We both agree that your site is always the one redeeming factor out of this craziness. I'll see you Sunday and in July. Take care, HD...it's been fun as always. See ya, Chicky..;) LOL
Posted by: Jan at April 23, 2008 08:45 PM
Feeds OFF! Getting my free music and games for past 2 weeks is all i go to superpass for.
Dislike RYEBREAD GREATLY & also Jen but Adam isnt much better. Sharon was only REAL person in BB9. The season for me was a total waste of time for the feeds. Too much filth in the name of Christianity by the dang Barista...sad sad woman.
Too boring with personality hits rather than game play! BRING BACK PB&J and some reg. folks that arent whiners or I'm at the campgrounds 4 the summer and ta heck with BB10!
Posted by: Barbi at April 23, 2008 09:10 PM
How funny was tonight's show when they showed Nat being all dumbfouned that Matty hated her. That was to FUNNY. I'm so glad she is not in the final.
But just wait until BB10 with more people that we can judge, and hoot and holler with. Thanks HD for making this all happen.
Posted by: crtnycrbn at April 23, 2008 09:18 PM
Jen's tv must be blown up after she throw one of ryan toys at it, when she realized that idoit boyfriend of hers just lost half a million dollors, just to have "one of my boys with me to the end". He deserves to lose it. She would never take someone who could possibly beat you in the end. YOu take the person that most of the jury hates!!! He should of watched more reality shows with Jen instead of stuffing his face playing video games or whatever.
Posted by: sues at April 23, 2008 09:18 PM
Great site HD!! I enjoyed reading this whole season. I know everyone hates Natalie here but I was rooting for her ever since Matty left. As for the final two it would have been a little more interesting if it were one of the boys and Shelia. I am rooting for Adam! He is hilarious and a bit of a crack head but you can tell he has heart.
From HD - Oh, there were plenty Natalie fans here. You're definitely not the only one.
Posted by: Katy at April 23, 2008 09:21 PM
First off., That was hysterical with Sheila "trying" to cry to Julie..I was truly embarassed for her., i was covering my eyes in shame for her., second off., she had fun for 3 months and got paid for it as well., had fun.,,and won prizes....That was an experience that only a few people each year get....She is ungrateful....And I ended up learning to LOVE Adam., and I do like Ryan....he was one of the cuties on the show., and sorry., one of the more thinkers on the show., thats how they schemed together and became the last two., respectivly...
but lastly., thank you again., for keepin me up and giving me something to read at lunch hours...please continue to do for season ten...LOL...take care Madam......
Posted by: elaine at April 23, 2008 09:39 PM
Hey HD for my defense I have 2 little ones(and 2 older ones)plus my wife goes to schhol at night and I work during the day but I swear I love BB as much as anyone I just cant watch the feeds. So thanks alot for everything you do. Now on to this season. Can you or anyone tell me how the "gameplay" wasnt as good as last season? I honestly think it was better. 3 different game styles were played and 1 will prevail. I do like how you have made your opinion kinda made on this post which you have kinda stayed away from but I do think that this game has been played(and pretty well). Except I kinda wonder about Sheila lol. She says she was doing this to better her and her sons life..yet if I was a female and I had the body to pose naked and was ok with doing that. then was good enough at it to become penthouse of the year, get into movies,videos(if she was in that David Lee Roth Video) then I would be doing it to improve my life. What did she do with all that life improvement? Anywho thanks for all your time. This is the first season I read your posts(because this is the first season I found you. Thank you windows for erasing my old Big Brother internet sites off my favorites so I had to go searching) I will be here for every other season.
Thank You Much, Shawn
Posted by: shawn at April 23, 2008 09:40 PM
ryan & adam have controlled this game for quite awhile now .both deserve it ,,,just as will & boogie did quick& baller did the same thing & deserve the same kudos .been a ryan fan but expect adam to win but very happy these the final 2.2 years in a row my favs ended up on on top ..sure don't bode well for who i pick on bb10 .lol
Posted by: gnot at April 23, 2008 09:45 PM
I haven't had the feeds on this whole week, other than when Sharon was evicted to see who remained.
I don't care who wins. I'm just not emotionally invested anymore since James left. I'd like to see Adam win the half-mil just to put Ryan's "Badass" in its place.
As for Sheila, I did not see one teardrop in her fake crying, I mean whining, I mean fake fake fake devastation. While I'm sure she is devastated, for the love of God, stand up like a woman and not a squealing idiot.
Posted by: julie at April 23, 2008 09:58 PM
I guess I am pulling for Adam, but only for sake of pulling for someone. I really don`t like either.
I am finding I don`t have a favorite in most of my reality TV viewing. No fave in survivor, no real fave on Idol..... maybe I am getting over my reality TV phase. ( or maybe this season has been poorly cast on all fronts)
Posted by: Lori at April 23, 2008 10:44 PM
HD I have to say that out of all the BB sites, yours is the only one I post on. While last season was one of my favorites due to Daniele and Dick getting to the F2 (I know you hated them but I LOVED them), this season has been blah and I tried to get into it but never really could. The only thing I could generate was hatred for Team Pink, in particular Josh, James and Chelsia. I actually really liked Sharon. She's so cute. I was hoping for either Adam/Sheila F2 or Sharon/Sheila F2. Sheila needs the money more than anyone IMO and my mom is a single mom so I know how she feels so inside I was rooting for her. But I agree with what you wrote...I canceled my feeds a few days ago to avoid paying for another 3 months for nothing and I honestly watched the feeds very little this year. One thing you wrote confused me...who's racist? I haven't heard either make a racist comment but then again I didn't watch the live feeds very often so I could have missed it. The only thing I remember was Jen saying that Ryan didn't like black people but Ryan said that wasn't true. Anyway, it's been great HD and I'll be back to reading your posts for BB10. I hope you do your game analyzing like you did for BB8's F2.
From HD - Yes, I was referring to Ryan and what Jen said about him. Thanks!
Posted by: Matthew at April 23, 2008 11:05 PM
Ryan won the last two HOH's and the POV and yet that seems to count for nothing with you people... You may not like him but you have to acknowledge the fact that he earned his spot in the final.
From HD - Personally, I don't consider him winning the last HOH. Adam could have won it but didn't. He threw parts 1 and 2 to Ryan.
Posted by: Jay at April 23, 2008 11:51 PM
HD, you nailed it on the head. I agree totally. Who cares who wins now? If Baller wins maybe he will buy some tissue for his nose instead of using his fingers, and if Ry wins maybe he will buy some pants that fit. In the end, lets only hope for a better season 10. Thanks for all your updates and keeping us thinking about BB. I vote you win the money! (But then... I dont get to vote.... darn...)
Posted by: Mimi Carolyn at April 23, 2008 11:56 PM
COMPLETE MORONS...THE BOTH OF THEM! I could give a @#$% who wins, I brought the live feed and now want a refund. These two buffoons have brought the quality of BB down. They eat like pigs, act like pigs and talk about women in such a derogatory way it was ridiculous (they drove me crazy saying dude, all the time too). Their game play was nothing compare to seasons past, once they got rid of Natalie...they knew Shelia and Sharon were marginal at best in the physical comps. If, I had to pick a winner? I just cannot just the thought of either of these buffoons winning, COME ON BB10, please...this is a lost season. Thanks HD, great post.
Posted by: jen m at April 24, 2008 03:10 AM
Maybe im wrong here,but it seemes to me like this season was more about being social then about strategy.Making BFF's and BF/GF were more on people minds then any type of game play.This is BB....NOT- WHO WANTS TO MARRY YOUR BFF. One big example is Ryan taking Adam to the end.....OOOOOOOOOOK. Lets take a person who is your BFF and almost certain to win the 500Gs over you. SMART. Even though you could not trust your BRO and he did you dirty and not to mention he is good with everyone in the jury house....all the focus was on taking him to the final 2!!!!!! RYAN I HOPE YOU LOSE. Have not turned my feeds back on and dont plan to. Why would I want to watch RYE Bro look at himself in every mirror he passes. Anyone else notice how after every live show he goes str8 for the mirrors. Hugging people but making sure he gets into view of a mirror so he can watch how good he looks doing it. I guess dating Jen has really done something to the mans ego. I wont even get into the butt crack always showing...promise i wont. LOL. Sorry for the long rant HD. Bring on BB10
Posted by: Texasdolly28 at April 24, 2008 03:11 AM
No feeds on here tonight after the show. Was pretty sure it would just be two clowns convincing each other how brilliant they are.
Sheila hasn't produced tears during most of her crying jags and I am convinced most of them were displays of poor acting skills.
I can't stand Ryan on a personal level. I think he's mean spirited in a way that has nothing to do with game play. I've heard him utter so many bigoted statements! For that reason alone, I'd rather see Adam win the top prize but I really don't care. The fact that so many people just don't care doesn't speak well for BigBrother's casting this season and I hope they pay attention to that.
IMO, the " Season of Love" was really the season of revenge and there was very little actual game play. Even this final comp was a BUST! More than 24 hours spent building a set for a comp that lasted an hour or so? A thrown comp, at that.
The jury questions (the actual one's - not the limited amount we'll see) just might be the best part of the season. Can't throw those! And we won't get to see that. Bummer.
I'll keep my feeds and your blog HD. Can't do BB without them!
Posted by: Elaine at April 24, 2008 03:52 AM
Thank you for all your work this season. Once I could no longer stomach watching the show, you were my information center. I stopped caring about the show right after Alex was evicted, but continued to watch right up until Natalie was duped and sent to the jury house. I think part of the problem for me the last few seasons, is that the people chosen have very little going on between their ears. I'm not calling them complete and total morons, but they have all been pretty close. I think casting should diversify a little with ages, where people are from, just mix it up a little more. Also, maybe a few more contestants who aren't trying to become a model or the next Paris Hilton. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the summer season. Thanks again for all you do!
Posted by: joanne at April 24, 2008 04:00 AM
Well now... this season has been found lacking.
This last show was a huge disappointment for so many reasons. The eveiction and subsequent interview of that whining old wind bag was horrible and seemed to last forever!
HOW COULD THEY NOT SHOW NUTALIE ENTERING THE SEQUESTER HOUSE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!!!!
I am so pissed off at AG and CBS for not showing us that part.
HD, Although I do love and respect your opinion on the matter, I do not believe Adam threw the final competition. He seemed genuinely peeved that he missed so many of those questions. We may never know the truth though.
I would like to give a shout out to the other contributors here... some who I normally agree with and some who I typically don't. Coleen, verity, diff, Clay-po, Grog, Toots and so many others that I absolutely love reading.
And then there are those I wish would find a way to disagree with others without putting them down in such a personal way... you know who you are.
I suppose we are a bit like the hamsters here when we choose to share our opinions. Not all of us can agree, and what fun would that be? So piss off if you don't like what I write, because it's better to be pissed off than to be pissed on! ;-)
Posted by: Gregor at April 24, 2008 04:11 AM
Neither of them threw the competition. You must give Ryan his due, he went to the finals with his toughest opponent. He could of easily taken Sheila but went with his word to take the most deserving player to the finals. I hope Ryan does win because he was the best all-around player. By the way did Sharon ever win any competition?
Posted by: gary at April 24, 2008 04:33 AM
So glad I am not the only one upset about not seeing Nat enter the seqester....I hope Adam wins.
Posted by: Shersher at April 24, 2008 05:00 AM
Gregor, darn you!!! I just did a "spit take" and barely missed my keyboard... that's the third time I've had to clean up a mess b/c of you! My meamma used to use the line about better to be pissed off than pissed on years ago. "you know who you are" was the best one though.
I can't wait to see ED go through all of his gyrations on HC today. That guy's head is going to explode one of these days - good thing the season is almost over. Did y'all hear that both Adam and Ryan broke one of their arms last night? Freak accident. Broke 'em patting themselves on the back all night...
Posted by: Toots at April 24, 2008 05:15 AM
Say what u will about Ryan, he actually stuck to his word and picked the more 'deserving' player to come along with him. He could have easily gone back on his word and taken Sheila. Yes, he would lose Adams' vote in that case, but heck he's losing Sheila's vote to Adam anyway!
F#$K Sheila! All she did was cry and kiss azz to the evicted HG's about to leave. Adam clearly played a better game and deserved to be there. Now having said that, I'm pretty sure I'd have taken Sheila to the end just for the better shot at the $$. Clearly, Ryan is ok with 2nd place and actually picking the more deserving player in the end...We don't see this often, if at all people. So yes while he's a bafoon, he's at least not a greedy bafoon!
And Adam should at least buy him a nice ride for basically handing him the 500k. We could possibly see a 7-0 vote here. IMO
HD, thank you so much for all your blogging! You truly are 1 of the great BB fans out there. We can only hope BB10 isn't filled with such degenerates. Thx for all your time and effort!!!
Posted by: Andrew at April 24, 2008 06:01 AM
And then there are those I wish would find a way to disagree with others without putting them down in such a personal way... you know who you are.
Yes, Gregor. "We" know who "we" are. Or at least, I think I know who you mean, even though I don't recall ever putting down a fellow poster. If I ever did, it would have certainly been you, and since you are the one complaining about it, maybe you can provide an example. On the other hand, a lot of people have had a go at me for saying unkind things about some BB contestants, and I cannot deny that I have done that. HD has cut me off a few times for arguing, which never fails to amaze me, since all I ever do is have friendly discussions. Glad we agree on "that whining old wind bag" though.
From HD - *sigh*
Posted by: gray at April 24, 2008 06:02 AM
I read BB10 will have more age diversity. I for one think that's a great idea. Remember "Chicken George"
I get real tired of the immature young 20 somethings.
Anyone else feel the same?
Posted by: Cind thiy at April 24, 2008 06:02 AM
Sheila LOST IT! If she could have kept it together she should have gone to Ryan and said LISTEN if you are happy with $50,000 pick Adam. Ryan has to know he would have had a better chance winning the $500,000 with Sheila. I think the jury will base their vote on game play and not riding coat tails. How many times have we seen this! IDIOTS! Ryan is arrogant and ADAM is a fool for letting him look like a wimp for all of America. WOW I just can't believe those 2 are final 2. Jury will go with Adam. Ryan won too much and was a bully!
Posted by: Shelli at April 24, 2008 06:09 AM
Not sure if I missed it in another episode, but did they totally skip over showing Natalie when she walked into the Jury House? That was moment I was most looking forward to and I didn't get to see it! I wanted to see the look on everyone else's faces as Natalie finally walked in the door. I was expeciting them to show it last night, but they only showed after she was already there... bummed me out.
Posted by: LD at April 24, 2008 06:17 AM
My feeds have been off more and more as we are left with these idiotic "Team Christ" losers and are now totally done with these last two. This has been the worst final 3 in history. Who really can you pull for? Out of the 2 left I guess I would chose Adam or Digger as I like to call him. As to who is going to win ... I don't know or really care although I would prefer to see Adam win it. As far as Jen being responsible for Ryan not winning ... well that is just a ridiculous statement. The houseguest must not put to much stock on him having a girlfriend in the house or they would have gotten rid of him weeks ago. And her calling him a racist ... while it sucks that she would out him on TV but just look at him and tell me she was lying. He does not "approve" of interracial relationships, he hates Canadians, he hates what he calls "fat bitches" ... is there really anything nice about him? I guess out of the two I would chose the one always digging at various parts of his body over the "nice" guy who thinks he is better than everyone.
Posted by: dora at April 24, 2008 06:24 AM
I can't believe these two idiots. It was obvious that they both were trying to throw the last part of HOH to each other so they wouldn't have to be the evildoer to vote Sheila out and get her vote. I wasn't even in that stupid house with those people and I answered all of the questions right.
I am so pi##ed that BB didn't show Nat's entrance to sequester and only Sharon's. COME ON! CBS knew how much she was hated by Josh, Chelsia and James, and Matt, and they leave this part out! What a rip off to us viewers.
I am glad that I tivo'd the show lastnight I got home 15 min in the show, so when Sheila was talking to Julie and Boo Freaking Hooing, I fast forward it so I wouldn't have to hear that fake crying of hers.
I can't stand those three but I would have rather see Sheila win the 500 thou over those two idiots. At least she needs the money.
Adam and Ryan, I just can't stand them.They both degrade women and are nothing but asses.Treating Sheila like they did during the water comp, what jerks they are.
Shiela said that she and Adam will be friends after the show, I don't think so when she sees how he called a Bit$$ everytime he could get the chance.
I will be watching Sunday night, not to see who wins, who knows how the jurors will vote, it will be hard for them for which jerk gets the money jerk #1 or jerk# 2. If it was me it would be the old fashion way and would advise the jurors to do the same this would be fair voting with these two...
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe ..Catch a jerk... by the toe...if he hollers let him go... Eeny, meeny, miny, moe out goes you in goes you!
May the best jerk win.
Posted by: Linda at April 24, 2008 06:25 AM
HD, I know that James was always your boy but you became a big fan of Nat too (at least that's what I think I've read) -- so if if things had turned out different in the past few weeks and Natalie and James had ended up in the final 2 -- who do you think your loyalties would have gone with?
Posted by: BenF at April 24, 2008 06:30 AM
I have been an avid BB fan since season one, I have watched all the shows, read all the web sites and had the feeds too. This season, I started off watching, couldn't decide whether or not to get the feeds, finally decided not too, then I stopped watching the show too! So basically, this season, I have 'watched' the show through the web sites and it has been way more enjoyable that way!! So thank you hamsterdame, for entertaining me this season :)
As for who wins,,,,who cares!! I do chuckle to think that it was Jen's dream to be on BB and her boyfriend is the one who stayed in the house, would be funny if he wins. Adam along with Sheila, should have been out the first week, funny that he is still there. I am usually sitting there rooting for or against someone. But that's it, I don't care who wins. And I find that funny too :) It still remains to be seen if I watch the summer show, but you know what...who cares?!!!
Thanks again hamsterdame for your dedication to this web site. I don't always agree with your point of few, but I am here everyday and I am glad that you are too :)
Posted by: s at April 24, 2008 06:38 AM
I don't care who wins, but not for the same reasons as you HD. I really like them both and as caveman as they are i truly believe they both played a good game. as far as watching the feeds, i probably will not but then i didn't watch them last year on the final two. i agree with my fellow fans why did they not show natalie? not only for matt reaction but wasn't anyone excited to see how james, chel, and josh was going to react! i was, and didn't they all seen like a happy little family last night? with the exception of natalie who was trying to get on matty's jock again? urgggg she makes all woman look bad! i liked her once matty left also i felt like oh she was a strong woman just got side tracked by her feelings but alas she learned nothing its just so pathetic! Back to who i want to win being from Ohio i naturally am going to root for ryan first, but if adam wins i won't be mad! Lol! thanks HD for all you do, i found your site last year and i am sure i will be a faithful reader for years to come!
Posted by: michele at April 24, 2008 06:42 AM
Sheila had never been one of my favorites, but I would have like to see her be in the final two. I hope that Adam wins. I did not care for Jen and if Ryan wins, you know she wins too. I thought that she was full of herself. GO ADAM!
Posted by: Ann at April 24, 2008 06:45 AM
Ok I can understand not liking the final 2.....but to say they don't deserve to be there and that the had no game play is pure BS.
They are the last 2 meaning they played the game better than anyone else. Adam won POV when it counted. Ryan won HOH 3 times and POV twice. They deserve to be there they got rid of stronger players like James & Natalie at the exact times they needed. to. Ryan kept both Josh & Sharon in his back pocket for protection. Adam played James by giving James a "shot" and will receive his jury vote (James had the same exact shot even if he was on the block...it was win POV or leave).
GO Ryan you outplayed everyone.......I don't think he has the votes but we will see.
Posted by: Dan at April 24, 2008 06:46 AM
These two in the finals wouldn't have been my choice, but I don't feel Sheila or Sharon deserved it either. Sheila never really applied her self and it's not about age, it's about not making an effort. I was sick of her whining about needing the money and being a single mom. Get over that, I've raised 2 kids by myself as a divorced mom without child support. It can be done, it's not impossible. Sheila playing the "single mom' card was getting old. Sharon was a rider and a floater, she went with which way the wind blew, she didn't deserve the final 2 either.
Posted by: Terri at April 24, 2008 06:49 AM
I honestly think they should go back to having 14 (?) TOTAL strangers in the house. The 'secret' relationship thing is gettting old no matter how they do it. Go back to pb+j so they are not tired all the time from the slop. it is much more interesting to see strangers forming alliances and disliking certain people. Btw, i personally don't know why everyone hates Jen so much, what did she do that was so bad. I heard people say she was cocky and saying she was going to win but so what? Also that she said ryan was a bigot which by some the things he says is true!!! Anyway, wish whoever had one had taken sheila to make it a BIT more interesting. Wonder what adam would of done if he was hoh?
Posted by: Stacey at April 24, 2008 06:51 AM
I don't understand why anybody thinks Adam threw the third part of the HOH comp? How is he supposed to know what somebody said in sequester? It's pure guesswork. I got them all right, but that was just luck.
Is it because he told Ryan that it would throw it? I think he told Ryan that as a contingency plan in case he lost. He could just tell Ryan that he lost on purpose and then make Ryan feel obligated to bring him into F2. If Adam won, he could do as he pleased. Win-Win. It looks like that plan worked out just fine for Adam.
I would not put too much stock in Jen calling Ryan a racist if that's all the evidence there is. Look at him--he's a wigger. Jen was just trying to throw Ryan under the bus in the hopes of turning Parker and everyone else against him. Even Parker wasn't buying it. On the other hand, I have heard Matt use the N-word on AD more than once, and I have never heard anybody refer to him as a racist.
Posted by: gray at April 24, 2008 06:52 AM
After the demise of James, the only reason I continued to watch was to see Natalie leave and watch her entry into the jury house. I feel robbed by CBS for not showing us. It was going to be the highlight of the season for me and now I don't care to even watch the finale. (but everyone knows I will) :)
Posted by: Mary at April 24, 2008 07:01 AM
I liked your site for the last two seasons, however, you have crossed the line with ryan being racist. A comment made by jen is not worth repeating. You should feel shame that in your anger for your guys not winning you attack someone just because he is white and not gay. who is the racist sexist and hetrophobe here?
Posted by: sean at April 24, 2008 07:12 AM
Something strange occurred to me last night...
Last season's final HOH competition was two men, Zach and Dick. Both have four letters in their name.
This year's final had two men. Ryan and Adam. Both four letters. Coincidence? I think not!!
Must mean Evel Dick will come back into the house for the finale. (Eight Letters, 4 on each hand. E-V-E-L D-I-C-K). Get it?
You heard it here first.
(Geesh, I must be channelng Natalie)

HD - you articulated my exact feelings with your post that I just read this morning. Because, last night, I was so turned off by dumb and dumber's antics after the live feeds came back on that I turned them off. I don't plan to look at them anymore but will watch the finale on Sunday. It's just that I don't care to watch those self-congratulatory jerks rag on Sheila and Sharon anymore. They say they will walk out with their heads held high. Well, you must be proud, "bros" - you took a 46-yr. old woman to the finals to ensure yourselves a F2 and then Adam handed the final HOH to Ryan. AGP must be LIVID that they spent all that time on the final comps only to see them make a mockery of the word competition. And I hated that Sheila went out whining - I had been rooting for her but lost respect for her exit. Even though I think she was truly devastated, she should have made a strong case to Ryan that Adam would win the money over him but that she understood his loyalty was more important than the money (wonder what Jen will have to say about that brilliant move?). Anyway, I think the F2 are disgusting (not funny) to watch, and I think either one of these jokers will spend a fair percentage of their winnings on drugs and partying so I'm out. Thanks for your blog, HD. I have enjoyed that immensely this season.

If Ryan ends up winning I hope Jen spends all the money really fast and then dumps his fat ass. I cannot stand him and I like her even less but I think it would be poetic justice. He's just going to get fatter and fatter the way he eats and if he thinks he's going to be able to keep that "hot babe" when he's fat and broke he's got another think coming!
I wish we the viewers had been given the option to award a special prize to one of the players... I would have chosen James because of the suspense he added to the program.
HD... thanks so much for your wonderful blog and your great comments.

HD,
i feel the same way. whatevah. i dont know why i dont care for ryan but i dont, so my vote once again goes to adam.
the best part about all of this is that you will be around for the summer. i totally have silly hamsters withdrawl when the show is over.
THANKS HD!!!!! :)

i forgot to mention sheila's crying jag with julie. was it me cause i didnt buy it for a minute???
Posted by: mjude at April 24, 2008 07:26 AM
Am glad it is coming to an end. This has been the most boring of the Big Brothers shows. I guess I would vote for Ryan. Can't stand Adam, with his nose picking all the time. reaching down in his pants to itch himself and then going to the refrigerator to get something out without washing is hands, the ugly facial motions he makes and his burging eyes. I can't understand how so many people are for him. Here's hoping that the summer Big Brother will be more exciting and that they will have more interesting people so that you could pick a favorite, then change you mind because of what is happening. A group who likes to cook, it is a wonder that this bunch didn't starve this season. More games with the coins like last year that would make Showtime 2 more interesting to watch. Agree with me or not, I feel that this was the worst season Big Brother has had.

For me, BB is a total sensory experience. I love the show, the feeds, the discussions, and all the sites.
I will watch BB until the very last word of the season is spoken and written, and then I will go back and revisit it all until the next season starts.
BB9 has been quite entertaining. It had so many big egos, that it was amazing that someone didnt knock someone's else head off their shoulders.
While I dont have a favorite to win, I do think Adam and Ryan played a great game. They played them all. ALL of them! Kudos for good game play. I dont like them, but I do appreciate the fact that they used others to do their dirty work while keeping their hands as clean as possible. Who would have guessed that Ryan would win so many comps!!!!! I was amazed each time he won.
The way he was jumping around during that last POV stunned me. Big Man could BOUNCE!
Thanks HD, I love your site. I read it every morning.
I for one will be sad when CBS finally puts BB to bed for good one of these days. Until then, I will watch, and read all I can get my hands on.
BB is an amazing social expierence. Not just the people in the house but all the other interesting and entertaining features that are provided by clips, videos, and other tidbits of information.
BB is the BEST SHOW EVER!!
LOVE IT ALL!!!!!!

The show sucked!!! Shiela needs a reality check and then some medication. Ryan sucks. Adam sucks. Two pathetic men. My feeds are gone. I don't care who wins (although I will watch).
BB10 has to be better!!!
Thanks again HD for your commitment and your blogging. I always love your point of view and I also laugh at your responses to folks who are just plain nasty grams.
Posted by: Piehead at April 24, 2008 08:10 AM
One thing that really bugs me with people like Sheila, and others have stated it is, if you really need money and need a better life look at what you could do (jobwise) and don't join a reality show to change your life! Everyone could always do something with the prize money. I am sick of people playing the pitty card. Sheila, get a real job! Also, since her son is 16 he's no little kid. Do some summer work like other teens and don't expect to make a fortune by getting lucky on some reality show. I am glad that she will not be 1st or 2nd, someone like her would just squandor whatever money she got anyway. If I was ever lucky enough to get on a show like BB or Survivor, I would first be happy about being a part of it and having the experience to see what it was like. Second, I would try to get into whatever my game style is. Last of all, if I won or came in 2nd it would just be a big bonus. I would never go on with the idea that I was "changing my life". To all people like that, I still can't say enough "get a job!!!" Sheila, she really infuriates me!!! Adam and Ryan are nothing but 2 goofballs, but I'm really glad they won!!!

I feel complete Opposite of you HD. I was thinking for ONCE in I dont know how many seasons, I finaly LIKE BOTH F2's, And will be happy if either wins.
I do not think they are slouches or slugs. I think they did a great job. They are hillarious and I think the feeds will be better with these to than WHA WHA SHELIA feeling sorry for her self.
GO BOYS !!
Posted by: bbug at April 24, 2008 08:31 AM
HD - thank you very much for the site, I enjoy reading all of your updates.
Not that it matters at this point, but when they played Adam's goodbye message he mentioned that Sheila should forgive him if something went wrong and he made the wrong decision, which sounds like Adam was planning to evict Sheila if he had won the final HOH comp. That gave me a small bit of satisfaction as I thought that Sheila was the least deserving houseguest. If you can only win a single competition (after the other two remaining practically handed it to you) you don't deserve to win. I was so sick and tired of hearing the "I'm a single mother" and "I had your back the whole time" garbage that I was close to throwing the remote at the TV!
Thanks again for the site and I look forward to BB10!

Ugh. Natalie won my heart. I say Adam wins because HE hasn't been evicted once at all.
Posted by: tate at April 24, 2008 09:16 AM
I'm not sure which one I'd like to win the money. I thought at first Ryan, then, changed to Adam. Then, I decided to check the web for Adam Jasinski (what a mistake) and was shocked what the name pulled up.......Check it out you might be surprised!! I was shocked!! I know all you read isn't true, but, gee whiz, what do you believe??
Posted by: lynnmp0538 at April 24, 2008 09:38 AM
I am not for sure why you hate Ryan so much. Is it because he was the one who gunned for James be removed out of the house from day one? Heck I wanted James to win, but after he left the house I had to route for Ryan because he has played the BB game and not set back and ride like Sheila/Adam. These two I am suprised to see in the final two, but you need to give some props because they are in the final two no matter how they got there.
Posted by: mike at April 24, 2008 10:00 AM
Will THANK GOD THE SHE-BOT IS DUNNN.... I wish we had a better f2 but this is what we are left with and to say they are not deserving I disagree... Ryan did win alot of comps and for that I am all for him winning.. As for Adam I think he is all show I really believe he is a real nice guy outside of the house but this is just my opion on all of it... I really wish That Nat and James was the f2 now that would be really interesting....
Posted by: Tammy at April 24, 2008 10:12 AM
OHHHH I forgot Sheilas Fake crying OMG.... I had to push Mute could not stand it.....
Posted by: Tammy at April 24, 2008 10:14 AM
I was so happy to have made it to Vegas, get some sleep and watch Tuesdays ep online and think things were great, and then be disappointed that Adam didn't try to win HOH and take Sheila. But I wonder if maybe he really knows he's got the votes against Ryan and wasn't sure if others would do what he would - give the big prize to Sheila..
I laughed at Sheila crying. Matter of fact, I had checked your site first and knew she was leaving and I waited for the Shrocodile tears to start. I cheered her on, hoping she'd really turn it on and she tried, but it just wasn't believable. I couldn't stop laughing.
I'm really glad I am away from home now without Showtime, because I'm not missing anything. If I had the feeds, I'd not be watching now either. And not because I don't like who's left, because it is BORING watching two people. Once in a while something will happen, and someone will have put it up on youtube. If someone else has that kind of time and wants to do it, go for it and I'll check it out.
I'll be rooting for Adam to win. Ryan really has gotten an overinflated ego, and as gross as Adam's personal habits are, Ryan has grossed me out more for some reason. I think it was his DR sessions. He was like Matt and Josh - they believed they owned the game. Adam was just always happy to be playing and I liked that about him.
I was also unhappy to not see Nat's entry to the JH, and I'm wondering if something really not suited for TV happened and they couldn't show it. Matt has apparently continued to be mean to Nat, and probably worse because they aren't being constantly watched. I'll keep hoping they will put some of it into the finale Sunday. I think Ryan lost Sharon's vote with that look when she was leaving... It may have been the only one he was getting. I'll be shocked if Ryan wins, but I'm hoping for one more twist - maybe they will announce that if one of the couples had made it to F2 there would have been a bonus.
HD, I agree with everyone who says you are the best - I've looked at the other blogs, but yours makes sense to me in the layout, and you do the best job of updating those of us who don't have feeds, those who don't have BBAD, and give everyone a shot at offering their opinion without flaming that happens elsewhere. The little bickering is entertaining, and I believe that you have a handle on when to put it to a stop like a good mommy.
From HD - LMMFAO! Thanks!
Posted by: Joy in WI at April 24, 2008 10:35 AM
HD, I agree with you. I have been bored as heck this season, the hamsters just weren't that interesting. I think BB is trying too hard to find a twist to put on it. Whatever happened to just putting a bunch of strangers in a house together and letting the drama unfold on it's own. I hope this summer is better, or I might lose my mind.
Posted by: Rylee at April 24, 2008 10:37 AM
Toots,
Nah I wouldn't judge you and I don't judge the others, I like the fact that we all have our opinions, it would be boring if all of agreed on everything. I am glad that HD keeps us all in line. Someone has to mind us Hamsters. LOL
Posted by: Linda at April 24, 2008 10:38 AM
I could not believe how quickly and easily Sheila gave up in Round 1 of the final HOH comp - 36 minutes - GIVE ME A BREAK!! If she had put as much effort into working as she did whining in Round 2, she would have beat Adam easily. Then she has the audacity to be (fake) upset because Ryan did not choose to take her the F2? Sheila, I have some advice for you, get off the pity-pot, stop living in the past, take a good look in the mirror, get a job and work like the rest of us do to make our lives better! No one else thinks you are "deserving" - you have 2 choices, you can whine, moan, bitch and complain about how hard your life is or you can get off your ass and do something about! Which example do you want to set for your son?
As for the F2 - I was a fan of Ryan's until he made it impossible for him to win by getting rid of Natalie. Going up against Natalie in the F2 was the only chance Ryan had to win it all and he blew it! Adam is pretty much guaranteed votes from Sheila (I am sure she will continue her "bond" with Adam outside of the house hoping to share in his prize money), Sharon & Natalie - all he needs is one more and my guess is Josh will vote for whoever Sharon tells him to. After Chelsia commented on the look Ryan gave Adam during Sharon's eviction, my guess is Chelsia & James will also vote for Adam. As a member of Team Christ, Ryan should have known that God helps those who help themselves and Ryan certainly did not do anything to help himself. And of course, Adam will need the money now that he has no job ot return to. Maybe he can move in with Sharon and they can do good things with his money while he looks for a new job!
Posted by: Mysticlyn at April 24, 2008 10:44 AM
OOPS - I meant move in with Sheila and do good things with the money - not Sharon!!

HD: We TVO BBAD in the evening and watch it in the morning. But before we do that we check on your site to see what the live feeds are showing you that we don't see. If I had the live feeds I'd get nothing done around the house. This year is the first time I've commented on this blog but have read it in previous seasons. After reading this site I haven't been on any others for BB9. Yours is the most informative and accurate. Now for the f2, I hope Adam wins. Like you, I don't really like Ryan and don't know why, just don't. Last year was the first year the person I wanted to win actually won (sorry). Well thanks again for all the posting you've done and talk to you in BB20.
Posted by: almost70 at April 24, 2008 11:11 AM
Been a long while since I posted though kept reading through the season. Just had decided at one point by posting I was showing I cared no matter how much I would have said I didn't care to CBS and whatever hamsters decide to go through and read all this when they get released from their cage.
So to answer your questions:
My final thoughts after tonight are the final two I think are deserving because each of them did win a number of competitions though having been eliminated but save by BB may hurt Ryan in some jurors eyes, we will see. Even with how much the team concept ruled over the season neither Ryan or Adam was really dragged along, in my opinion. They may not have had some backbone when in positions of power but they won the comps when they really needed to. I actually commend Ryan a little bit for not taking Sheila. He could have easily built a case she did nothing in the game but get into the right team but let the gambler in him take Adam.
I never had the feeds all season and got rid of Showtime mid season when After Dark became pretty boring (had previously subscribed to Sho for Dexter and kept it longer when they announced the Winter BB). If I had the feeds I expect I would have them off.
I would like to see Adam win. Why? In hopes he really will put the money towards a hair salon for challenged people. I think some of the negative press attention I expect him to get may force him to actually do it but he does have the hot head that he might not since I expect some attacks coming his way.
Sheila's exit I think may have been one of her few real cries of emotion. She came off so much tougher then the crying jag she seemed to become as the season went along. I know the house is stressful but she is 46 and I know she has to have been through alot especially if she has a book about herself with anything interesting in it.
I always felt she was playing a similiar game to Sharon's but unlike Sharon would never show up in the comps. She knew her mouth was her best weapon, just see her many stirring ups of the house, and I think she had hoped to be brought to final two and be able to use her mouth to bend people to vote for her because she never really had a direct connection to eliminating anyone except Natalie but the boys handled that so bad she, Nat, seemed to hold more against them then her.
I don't think the guys were attempting to throw the final competition. They were trying to hard to catch the screwy answers they know that were going to be thrown in. The actual answers just turned out to be more on the mark. That usually is the key in that last comp to catch the screwy answer your opponent misses.
Anyway, thanks for another fine season of coverage here on Silly Hamsters and hopefully this summer I can care enough to post more often.
From HD - Welcome back wump!
Posted by: wump_scut at April 24, 2008 11:20 AM
Thanks for the memories Hamster Dame. I think these guys are hilarious!! Every time I see them I hear that song "People let me tell you bout my best friend" in my head. They are just young carefree guys that took a few months off from life and made the best of it. They have had a blast in the house and at times they were gross and young "Al Bundies" they were real unlike alot of the houseguest. I wished they had taken Natalie per their agreement for final four, but unlike Sheila or Sharon she might have beaten them in endurance, so she had to go. I don't think Ryan is really racist in "real life" or Adam is really a big "ladies man". In ten years this will be just one of those embarrassing moments in their life but they did it and I hope they can tell everyone to kiss their butts....they won! Period, end of story. Sure do miss ED. : )
Posted by: HolyMoly at April 24, 2008 12:12 PM
I can hardly believe that I even watch this crap, but i do love it. But come on now CBS, America is smarter than you give us credit for. There has to be smarter people than what you put out there for us to watch on BB9. What kind of questions do they ask the possible contestants beforehand to the show? Maybe a good question would be have you ever been in porn, or as in James world, gay porn. Did CBS look at his tatoos before the show? And my god Ryan, pull up your stupid pants. We all don't want to see your underwear, or especially your big butt. I really want to know what part of fashion has said that is cool having your pants falling down. And the fact that everyone was about the same age, other than Sheila, who really was young at heart, living in her Penthouse pet mind.
Enough with how stupid everyone in the house truly was and especially acted. Other than maybe Sharon and maybe Josh, noone had a bit of sense.
Here's hoping for a much better BB10, and the sooner the better, so we can all forget about how horrible this season was.
Posted by: Michael at April 24, 2008 12:17 PM
I have to say I disagree with part of your post. I was so relieved there were very few "dick" moments in the house this year. Last year made me sick to my stomach, literally. I dispise pure hatred and that is what he embodies to me at least.
Sure, chelsia had her, "I'm gonna regret this crap for the rest of my life" moments, but she was tame compared to that beast. James and Josh??? Pure child's play. Lame and so infantile.
It was refreshing to see some nice people in the house for a change. Sure, they had their moments, but I think deep down they were a nice group of people that DID play the game.
How did adam not play? He's at the end isn't he? He almost brought Sheila to the end, but she HAD to guilt him and threaten him and that sealed her fate imho.
IDK, I liked this year more than last that's for sure. Ryan? I don't like or hate the guy, but I felt he was already voted out as was sharon. To me, the true final two were adam and sheila.
GOOOOOOOOOOOO ADAM!
Posted by: chris at April 24, 2008 12:46 PM
OMDL, Just when I thought the Calvinists were all on holiday. Who cares if someone has done gay porn outside of the house! I personally will not mind if there are 3 gay porn actors, 3 straight porn actors (Jenna Jameson has to be one of them), 3 sluts, 1 tattoo artist, 1 nudist and one butt/nose picker/booger eater on BB10, as long as they are colorful, slightly flawed, and lovable characters.
Posted by: BenF at April 24, 2008 12:51 PM
Another season of BB is almost at a close and I must admit that I am liking the F2 better than the F2 from BB8. Adam will spank Ryan with the jury votes and IMO he deserves to win.
If you come into the BB house thinking (Sheila) that you're going to win the 1/2K on the sympathy vote than save losing 90 days of your life and just play the lottery. She got her $750/week stipen for the time served so what is her bi**h?
With the pitiful performances she inflicted on the HG's and us it is no wonder she can't find work as an actor.
These BB9 HG's have got to go down in BB history as being among the most disgusting bunch of ppl between the nudity, sex and just plain old lack of decorum I'm sure they made their parents proud.
Posted by: Lori R at April 24, 2008 01:14 PM
It amazes me how you all can sit on here and say "i don't care who wins" "bunch of morons" or whatever it may be but its pretty funny you take the time to type and bash them guys in the BB house the way you do and still end up watching the final show. Its very funny.....
I am glad Ryan won the last HOH and has taken Adam, even tho that wasn't a very smart move, however them 2 guys know how to play the game, if they didn't they wouldn't have been where they are right now sure beats the rest of them.
And as for Sheila, she needs to wake up and smell the roses and get a life and more then anything she needs to get a job to take care of her kid, she should be ashamed of herself for using her son in that way, did she honestly think someone would give her a pass to the finals? For gawd sakes Ryan has a dumb blonde and some dogs to take care of! lol, what was she thinking. (haha)
Well good luck to Ryan and hope he takes it!
This was a good season but could have been better if there was more fighting and backstabbing!
Posted by: hunedew36 at April 24, 2008 01:20 PM
I'm with you, I could care less who wins, and I haven't watched the feeds since Sharon left. So I'll read your blog Sunday night to find out who wins and then go to the casino for dinner and some slot machine play, and not even watch it on T.V. I only hope that this summer is better for BB, or I just might cancel the feeds.
Posted by: Chris at April 24, 2008 01:47 PM
Thank you for the kind words Linda, gray, sleepyeye & Gregor.
Not to sound odd, but I hope I don't read anything from SillyHamsters.com next season until the end of BB-10, unless they allow guests some net time in the HoH!
I think I sprained my son's fingers by accident, I made him cross them over and over and....
Posted by: ClayPo at April 24, 2008 01:55 PM
About Ryan and Adam, I like them both and think they played well. They are both very deserving and I'm much happier with this outcome than last seasons (too much outside interference). I'm glad to see that many others share this view as well as my view about being SO HAPPY that Sheila is gone. HD--Great site, I will always check it out!
Posted by: Lauralei at April 24, 2008 01:56 PM
BenF, life in the big city has made you so worldly and sophisticated that gay porn actors don't even cause you to lift an eyebrow. Believe it or not, there are some of us who live in smaller towns who are still provincial enough look with disgust at the porn industry in general, and its gay segment has even an extra "ick" factor. Now, I'm sure what is shocking to you is that here in the 21st Century, such unabashed homophobia still exists. Remember the gray credo: butt picking is fine; butt poking is not.
Posted by: gray at April 24, 2008 02:06 PM
I am SOOOO happy that the shehag is finally gone. all she ever does is cry and play the single mom crap that doesn't make her speacil in anyway....she didn't even deserve to be final three....oh well, like i said from the beginning of the season RYAN WILL WIN IT ALL....he is the only one left that has played the whole season....adam deserves second...he did finally play towards the end...but ryan definatley deserves to win since nat can't...lol
Posted by: debi at April 24, 2008 02:18 PM
What a complete waste of a season - if the summer show is as bad as this one, they had better just leave it on the floor.
My family stopped watching months ago, there was just NO chemistry like last year with the evil one.
Hey - try and get a balanced (mentally and age wise) group of adults next time, rather than a bunch of punks.

I watched sheilas visit to julie over and over, I just couldn't stop laughing, it was just the worst acting job ever, I loved it, I'm still cracking up, ok well Adam please win, Please, as Ryuckenstein will repulse me forever!

You have to give them both credit. I doubt anyone expected to them to make it to the final 2, especially Adam!!!
Ryan seemed liked the most regular guy, Adam seems like a weirdo that you'd see arrested for looking up women's dresses or some other odd thing.
The thought of Ryan sharing his money with his girlfriend makes me mad: I hope he dumps her fast!!

Gray. If only. My Momma would've loved Molly, but Momma died really young. Though, I do remember her killing a rattlesnake with a garden hoe in my sandbox when I was a toddler and tossing it up over the clothesline in the backyard. Momma was really something and would be proud to be friends with Molly Ivins.
It's amazing how you manage to slur not only me, Molly AND my mother in one simple entry. And by the way, fyi, Molly wasn't necessarily "worldly and sophisticated" but she was smart as hell and tough as nails. I'm really pleased that you know who she was! Good for you, Gray!! You've got good taste in women!

Having grown up in rural Ohio, Texas and Georgia I know all about those provincial areas Gray -- A bible in one hand and something else in the other...
I certainly apologize because I must have missed the BB9 episode(s) where all that offending gay porn butt poking occurred. Or was that something only available on the feeds? I guess I must have missed it while i was pre-occupied with all the racist/sexist/disrespect to women and the neurologically challenged segments that actually did occur on the show -- and with two of the icky offenders still left in the house and about to walk out with $550,000 between them.

"You ever get a turd that "turtles"?"
Claypo if you get on Big Brother i want you to look straight in the camera and say that to all of us so that we will know it is you.

BenF, I just adore you!! Turtles. When my cousin/roommate take roadtrips every year, we always say "AND WE'RE OFF!!! LIKE A TURD OF HURTLES!!!" Play on words. It amuses us on long road trips - like I said, I'm easily amused. Hey, I didn't guarantee "funny" when I signed on to the HD gig...

Couldn't disagree with you more, silly gerbil. I think Adam and Ryan played the best games of anyone in the house.
Adam's plan was simple; be likable and play below the radar. This plan was severely threatened from the get go by being shackled with the whining, complaining, Sheila. She drew attention to them both and anyone with half a brain could easily find them as a easy out at any point in the competition. This was especially dangerous in the beginning when people are still trying to get a feel for everyone else and usually spend the first couple of eliminations getting rid of easy targets. Later in the game, he aligned himself with the right group while still making peace with those heading out the door. He did take this a little too far at times, but he was able to avoid the responsibility for the evictions of every jury member except Sharon. Even with Sharon, he has the ability to justify for her eviction because she was up against Sheila, his partner from the beginning and obvious ally. It should also be pointed out that he GAVE Sheila the 10k in the veto comp and he pointed out in his HOH blog that the move was strictly strategic.
His best move was convincing Ryan that they should cut Sharon and keep Sheila for the final three, thereby making sure that if he didn't win, BOTH of the other house guests would take HIM to the final two-- the best possible position to be in.
This is not to say that he didn't make mistakes. His comment about the children he works with was obviously stupid and has cost him his job on the outside. It offended the other guests in the house and put a bigger target on himself early on. Not putting James on the block initially was also risky and could have changed the outcome of the final weeks. Mouthing to Natalie that he voted for her could have potentially cost him his alliance with Ryan. All in all, he overcame those mistakes to actually be in the position to throw the last HOH comp.
Yes he picks his nose a lot and yes he scratches his nuts. Obviously hamsters do not have nuts because if they did, you would understand that they need to be scratched from time to time.
He's looking good going into Sunday night and it appears he truly has a good heart and wants to actually do something with the money.
Ryan didn't play as shrewd a game as Adam mentally, but he had to overcome entering the game with Jen, which was definitely no advantage. He had to overcome having an extremely disliked partner in Allison. He made the right move during his first HOH week by back-dooring James (even though BB Producers put him back in the game) and he powered through most of the final comps to basically take control of the house. He was able to avoid being targeted during weeks that he had to sit out.
You don't care about who wins because your favorites have been booted. You take the easy shot at Ryan... Big boy likes to eat. Wow. Earth shattering. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. You get malicious by calling him a racist which is completely unfair and shows just how small you are. You summarize Adam by calling him a Con.
I am sure that you have never made a mistake or broken any laws. How sad a life to take pot-shots at these people who at least had the courage to become transparent for the world to see. Warts and all.
I am left to wonder what gems we would find if we looked in your closet. I would love to see your life documented in the fish bowl and have America discuss every inch of flab. Every roll of skin. Every blemish. Your blog would be different then and possibly actually worth the cyberspace it takes up.

HD thank you for another good season of BB I read your suite the last 4 or 5 seasons now. Everyone said this year not as good as last year. I hear this every year and not going to watch the live feeds and stop watching the show. If every year were the same thing it would not be fun to watch. I love that we can see live feeds, I love BB. I don’t condsider live feeds crap. There is a lot of things people do not see on other blocks or on TV.I just wish we could of seen the 3 part Endurance Competition like last year. I wish Adam and Shelia was F2. I hope Adam win over Rayon. As for Sheila crying thing, I think she was in shock that she did not get pick. A lot of people saying Sheila get a job on the feeds she said she works two jobs or did I heard it wrong. I really did not have a favorite this year. But I did think Sheila did do some good moves and as the single mom card was use a lot that hurt her. But as single mom I know how hard it is in this world. Women does not get paid as good as a man does. Thanks again for the good blog. See you when BB 10 starts.
