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?

I don't think it's funny when someone (Adam) wishes another person would get cancer. That statement is made on 2nd video, towards the end.
When Ryan asked Adam if he (Adam) thought he (Ryan) was fat...notice the long pause and then no comment. If Ryan thinks he's in good shape, the BB house must have those "circus" mirrors, that skewes one's body image.
Like Evil Dick said thursday, donate the money to a sactuary for guinine pigs....

Those are pretty fun! Between Ryan & Adam... I prefer Adam to win. Not really with keeping up so closely, now that the division is gone. The break up of TC wasn't as fun as I hoped! :D
HD: Thanks for keeping up with the season!!

Still would consider paying more for feeds if we could see EVERYTHING live...CBS wouldn't lose any money because they still have the regular show audience, if BB9 hasn't turned anyone off permanently (excluding us addicts)..really nice of you to offer us this support group, HD!!

Loved the tapes. I am more than ever happy that these are the final two. They may be my favorite final two ever. It sounds like Sheila has proved that all she is is a bottom dwelling slug. Sharon and Josh have showed that they are sore loosers, poor sports and just bitter unhappy people in general.

I really thought last year was bad but this BB9 is the worst i seen yet,the competitions were fix it seams BB wanted Ryan to win it all, Adam is more discosting than Dick last year im ashame he is from NJ like i am the way he talk about women is terrible plus he is dirty picking his nose and grabing himself all the time plus his face he looks scary popping his eyes and talk about voice he talked about the women he is worst than all of them put together i'm not pulling for none of them to win i dont think the deserve it or earn it,they had a big help from BB the station should leave them alone.

Pretty hilarious! I hope the loaf won't eat the little piggies LMAO! I don't care who wins but thanks HD for a great seasonal commentary/updates.

HD,
I have learned one big thing during this season of BB and I have to share it with everyone here!!!
The English language has now acquired a new form of punctuation on the same level as the comma and the period... it is the word "fucking"!!!! I don't think the majority of the Hamsters in the past few seasons and especially this one could complete a sentence without using that word in place of a pause or comma.
Just my fucking two cents dudes!!!

AAAhhhh youth. They are a couple of clueless guys with over inflated egos. HAHAHAHAAAAAA. I laughted my butt off.
Posted by: Piehead at April 25, 2008 08:40 AM
Thanks, HD. I love keeping up with things here between shows on network tv. I've been reading you since way back and look forward to BB10. I don't seem to be turned away by any strange twist each season brings, however lame. The way the seclusion effects the mind is always fascinating to me. See you (or read you) next time around.
Posted by: Mary Lu at April 25, 2008 08:52 AM
Susie, that it how people in their teens and twenties talk. I think Sharon said "f**k" and "f**king" as much as everyone else combined, and she seemed in most other respects to be the so-called "good" girl of the house. I hope I don't get in trouble for using the adjective "good" in reference to a person's behavior. That seems to be taboo around here because it implies that somebody else is bad, and that is judgmental, and we can't allow that.
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 09:01 AM
Sharon and Josh have showed that they are sore loosers, poor sports and just bitter unhappy people in general.
Huh? Sharon, unlike JoshuaH, exited the house in good cheer. They must have been talking about how she was upset for her little 'mo buddy when he left.
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 09:11 AM
I don't think it's funny when someone (Adam) wishes another person would get cancer. That statement is made on 2nd video, towards the end.
Did anybody understand who they were talking about? I think it was Joshua, but since it is Adam who is doing most of the talking, it is very difficult to make out.
On another part of the second vid, they were talking about how Shelia claimed that she saved Adam. Ryan said the only thing she did was campaign to have other people thrown out. That's true, and she only did it only because they said some little thing that pissed her off, like Chelsia telling her not to play the single-mom card. They also brought up the fact that the only time Adam was on the block was when Shelia was given HOH. They ended this with a rousing, "F**k that bitch." Amen to that. Amen.
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 09:35 AM
Do Adam and Ryan actually think they are all going to just let them off the hook and say, "Hey, congratulations you screwed me out of the $500K?"
First off, Sheila and Sharon just left the house less than 3 days before last night -- and in Sheila's case just about 24 hours! Putting aside her offensive personality and feelings of self-entitlement, I certainly can understand her being a tad bitter! She could almost taste that money! She and Sharon will calm down by the time they have to vote (well, Sharon more so than Sheila!). Josh is a drama queen and so I'd expect nothing less out of him. Same with Chelsia. They didn't mention Natalie enough to know how she came across, but she just kind of seems to make the best out of her situations so I'd guess she'd kind of let them off the hook. Matt's been out of the house for several weeks, and really Adam and Ryan didn't screw him. James has the biggest reason to be bitter for the way everybody treated him his last few weeks, and he's the one who seems to have shown the most class. Who'd a thunk? How awesome! Maybe Ryan and Adam could learn a little something from him.
Adam and Ryan should just shut their mouths and enjoy the ride. Look, one of them is going to be $50K richer and the other $500K. It's completely out of their hands. Maybe the truth hurts just a little bit, eh? Class-less, both of them!
Posted by: Pat at April 25, 2008 10:06 AM
What were these two guys thinking? That the jury would be congradulating them on a job well done?
They should know after watching the other BB shows that the jury is gonna be ticked that they are there and not them. Instead of dealing with their questions, all they do is bash the jurors.
I was glad to hear Adam's remark about James having a level head. He was the best player in the game and played well as far as I am concerned, but Nat got her revenge on him and they both sit in sequester.
The only reason those two idiots are the F2 is due to floating with other players. They talk about Sheila doing just that, but yet she did have better game play than them by compaigning to get others out. At least she played and they sat there and watched not wanting blood on their hands.
I never really had a fav player until James stepped up and started to play the game. Ryan and Adam should be ashamed with some of the rile things that come out of their mouths about the others. They like to degrade people. A jerk is jerk and will always be a jerk.
Posted by: Linda at April 25, 2008 10:09 AM
Hilarious!
No suprise that Natalie, Matty and James asked question with CLASS!
While I really dispised Sheila the last three weeks, I'm very glad that America and her Manager had an opportunity to see how much of a selfserving person that she is. I realllly hope that her Manager/publisher relizes that very few people are interested in the Begger's Book after her actions on BB. WHile it's a game Sheila's actions undoubtly are her personality...as she claimed her self she's CYBIL!
She deserves to have many doors continue to close after her behaviour! Karma needs to take care of Shei!
To Ryan and Adam: Please don't forget the person who really helped you get to the end NATALIE!
To the final two: WHO SHOWED THAT YOU CAN PLAY BB WITH CLASS ~ UNLIKE LAST YEAR~ CHEERS TO YOU AND WISHES OF THE BEST!
I have to say that I was an Evil Dick fan.. but in watching him recently on house calls and real... it's gone to his head! Who the flip does he think that he is? Perhaps, he should meet Adam and Ryan AND TAKE SOME LESSONS ON CLASS!
Posted by: JBKB at April 25, 2008 10:12 AM
Glad these are the final two! Would've liked Natalie to have stuck around longer (especially longer then Sheila...blah.) but at least she outlasted Chelsia, Joshua and James. Those three should've been given the boot a lot sooner imo!
I'd like to see Ryan take it all. He ROCKS!
Posted by: Kelly at April 25, 2008 10:45 AM
Thanks for the videos. I couldn't stand to finish them and I won't be watching after dark this week. Too much self-congratulation and bashing of other people by these clueless guys.
I'm not saying they don't deserve to win, I'm just saying that I'm not interested in hearing what they're talking about now.
Posted by: cre8tivewmn at April 25, 2008 10:48 AM
Ryan and Adam are idiots. Poor delusional Ryan thinking he is soooo good looking and Adam ... what can you say about Adam other than DUH! If Sheila hadn't been there doing all that campaigning maybe they wouldn't be where they are now so she has a right to be bitter as does everyone else that was voted off. It would be hard NOT to be bitter for a while at least. Why do they always block the good stuff?! The jury meeting and questions have alway been my favorite part of the last show so I wish they would show them all on the feeds. Last year I can remember being disapointed that it didn't show very much of the jury talking and the questions so I hope they do a better job with it this year and I hope next year they show it on the feeds. That right there would make it worth getting them.
Posted by: dora at April 25, 2008 11:10 AM
Loved Josh's comment about Breadtruck eating the GPs...I've been concerned about them myself since mama Sharon got booted...
From HD - I sooooo hope that comment makes the show.
Posted by: SuzieQ at April 25, 2008 11:19 AM
Two questions I hope someone can answer after seeing their conversations about the jurors. First, do the jurors really only receive $7,500 (or whatever really low amount they threw out)? I thought the jurors received somewhere around $35,000 for the whole time period they were on the show and in the jury house combined. Surely it's more than $7,500 for three months of their life (that would hardly be worth it). Second, are the jury members really kept apart between last night and finale night when they cast their vote (or show they are casting their vote)? I thought, especially since they filmed the jury at the jury house, that the jury stayed together and were free to talk until they head to the studio for Sunday nights show. Maybe just don't remember things right from last seasons. Thanks for the help.
From HD - Unless they win the game or come in second place or win some other prize, the hamsters are paid $750 for each week they are in the house and/or in sequester. This season is 76 days (or 10.86 weeks) long so Sheila would bring home approximately $8,250 before taxes. The winner and second place does not collect their winnings plus stipend -- they will receive only their $50,000 or $500,000 cash prize in addition to any other prize(s) they won on the show.
Posted by: TexanBBfan at April 25, 2008 11:53 AM
TexanBBfan, I'm just going by what I remember, but I think each HG is paid a $750 per week stipend for as many weeks as they are in the house and/or in sequester; unless they are in the F2, in which case they get only their prize money, but no stipend.
What it amounts to is an annual salary of $39,000 prorated for the duration of their stay. That is not much to pay big TV stars, is it?
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 12:36 PM
About the language- if BB had a swear jar and they took a dollar off the prize for every use of the f-word or worse- Ryan and Adam would owe BB about $25,000 by now...
I think some of the jury stuff is theatrics (It's been mentioned that BB tells the jury to try and ask questions that will throw the final 2 off, and not hold back on comments)- part of it is bitterness, and part of it is just plain dislike. In the end, most (not all) of them will vote on who they think played the best game- some will vote on personal dislike, but not the majority. I still think Adam wins 5-2 because he not only played a decent game, he managed to keep his partner in almost all the way, and was liked by most of the Jury. Ryan was a bit bullying, and one or two of them might not want to have Jen win through him.
Posted by: David at April 25, 2008 12:42 PM
Thanks for the videos, HD. I guess we now know which members of the jury were gamers, and which deserved to lose. (The gamers being Matt, Nat, and James.) I think that the main thing winners have had in common is the ability to remember that they're playing a game. The other 4 would have lost anyways, and totally deserve being kicked out.
Posted by: sandic at April 25, 2008 12:56 PM
TexanBBfan's post got me to thinking that an annual prorated salary of $39,000 to be a BB TV star is kinda low. On the other hand, they have plenty of applicants, so why should they pay more?
Is there anybody here familiar with TV production? AG on a House Calls said that 200 people are employed by Big Brother. That seems like way too many people to me with a lot of dead weight. Couldn't they do the show with maybe 100 people, or do the unions make them hire that many?
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 01:07 PM
HEY HD. Will you PLEASE take down my post where I said the same thing that you did to TexanBBfan? I feel stupid posting what you just said.
From HD - Why? It's nice to have somebody back me up in case somebody comes along and says they only get paid $350 a week or something. BTW, I tried emailing this response to you but I guess what you filled in was not your correct email address.
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 01:16 PM
gray- BB isn't a union show (for the most part reality shows aren't unionized); that's why it got a spring season this year because of the writer's strike. The 200 people isn't unusual- they have to go through a lot of tape in a very shot amount of time, plus there's the competition constructors, the people in charge of the feeds, etc.
Posted by: David at April 25, 2008 01:18 PM
I always give my correct e-mail address unless I make a mistake, but I don't check it very often.
From HD - I see what happened, you misspelled it. No biggie.
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 01:23 PM
I'm truly beginning to think that Dumb and Dumber hadn't seen any BB, other than perhaps highlights, before they got on the show. What idiots. Case in point. Every single season, the jury puts the Final2 throught the wringer. Mostly, the jury is venting after comparing notes with the other jury members while in sequester and finding out what reallyyyy happened and how they were all deceived by people they thought had their backs. Why should the F2 get all worked up about it??
One thing that really cracked me up on one of the clips was BB telling DumbBall to go to the SR to replace the batteries in his mic - he did NOT need a microphone at all, he was yelling about the jury's questions so loudly that Ryan's was picking everything up!!
Posted by: Toots at April 25, 2008 01:24 PM
WOW...I thought ED cussing was bad last year! Nothing compared to Ryan or Adam. Their mothers should be veeery proud! Did they both think everyone was going to be happy at the end? Hopfully they will both get their mouths washed out with soap when their moms get done with them LOL
Posted by: cathy at April 25, 2008 01:27 PM
It seems a lot of people are judging the jurors questions on how Ryan and Adam are reacting to that question. We really don't know what the questions are or anything that was really said by that juror until we hear what it truly was on Sunday. For instance, everyone seems to think Matt was acting mature about it but on another site I read he asked them paraphrasing "how you going to take care of me"? Something I expected out of him (only because of what he said about Natalie buying him something nice if she won) but yet I am trying not to judge him till I actually hear it on Sunday. I simply don't know what he really said.
In regards to Shiella I think we all expected anger out of her but she still will probably vote for Adam.
I do wonder if the jurors were told that Adam lost his job and will that sway any of them. After all if he did lose his job, how can he possibly think about donating $100,000 (like he said he would) till he is financially secure himself. $500,000 sounds like a lot of money but after taxes he will proably lose $150,000.
Thanks HD for your site, because of it I understand so much more of what has gone on in the house unlike the season of Maggie and Howie. I really did not understand all the anger towards her and her group because I was only seeing what was shown on TV. Also thanks for letting everyone have a voice. You have truly create a "democratic site" and have honestly not ever tried to sway people's opinion no matter how you have felt about a HG.
I am so over this season of BB9 and don't care who wins. No matter wich of them win they both are going to have serious public relation problems when they re-enter the real world.
Posted by: farve fan at April 25, 2008 01:57 PM
They must have had to hire about 5 people alone with the same exact voice to say "Adam PLEASE STOP THAT!" one hundred times a day. That is a full time job in itself.
Plus you have probably close to 50 cameras and it takes a few hands to maneuver those 24/7. Because it is reality and not a regular syndicated show it actually takes more people to produce it.
The good thing for the producers is that they don't have to pay the "actors" much so they are able to afford the extra gaffers and camera operators easily.
Posted by: Gregor at April 25, 2008 02:01 PM
Thanks for the info, David and Gregor. If I think of running 3 shifts of people over a 24-hour period, then the numbers are more like I had in mind. I always underestimate the time, money, and labor to do anything.
Posted by: gray at April 25, 2008 02:23 PM
HD - thanks so much for the quick reply. I'm totally shocked. I didn't realize it was so low! I guess it's not bad money for a weeks work. It's hard to imagine being willing to give up seeing your kid (for the single 46 year old mother in the house), your family, pets, and PRIVACY (who wants to do their business knowing someone could watch) all for a giant crap shoot for the big prize. That's a huge gamble. I guess I should just be glad there are people willing to take the risk, so I can have fun watching. Oh - and hard to risk the money knowing people are not just watching, but judging and trashing you the whole time. - Again glad they're willing, so it's often quite fun judging and trashing. Thanks again! You're awesome. And thanks to those who posted comments as well.
Posted by: TexanBBfan at April 25, 2008 02:39 PM
Adam and Ryan are stupid if they didn't think that people would be mad about them screwing over everyone to be in the final 2. I would not give my vote to either one of these goofballs. Between all the crack shows and the nose picking and ball sratching I was totally disgusted.
If anyone deserved the money it was Sharon because she survived the block five times and she see was playing both sides.
Posted by: Cindy at April 25, 2008 03:05 PM
The way Ryan had to check himself out after the talk about someone calling him fat gave me heartburn. Ryan, you have big arms, but the rest of you isn't muscular. Adam has a belly but looks better by far. Wait til Ryan watches himself cram food in his mouth at every chance. He'll probably be to vain to see how bad it looks, but I hope it embarrasses him.
I honestly don't think Adam would be so pumped and freaking if he were there with anyone else. He seems to feed off the energy of whoever he is with at the time. For this, I am grateful to not watch them together during these last few days. I have to see how it ends, but I will be relieved when Sunday night's show is done.
Somone in one of the other threads said "if you don't like it, why do you all keep watching?" or something to that effect when we were all bitching about how crappy this season has been. My answer is similar to the answer any addict to any substance would give. I can't help it. I need my fix. No matter how bad I feel when I do it, no matter how hard I crash when I'm finished, I need my fix. There is something about watching people trapped in this experiment that turns very quickly into an addiction. I believe if I had a way to get the feeds (I'm a cash only or echeck through paypal girl, so no CC to use to order) that I would lose my job and my son would perish in some accident in the house or I'd lose custody of him. I'd be glued to my computer and never ever leave. Hi, my name is Joy and I'm a Big Brotheraholoic.
From HD - Why don't you use a disposable credit card? You can buy them at WalMart, CVS, etc and put however much you want to on there and then use it online just like any other credit card. They're Visa cards and everything and can't be tracked back to you at all.
Posted by: Joy in WI at April 25, 2008 03:34 PM
I have listened to all the videos and I think it's hilarious. I do think Adam will and should win, I think Ryan winning is going to be tough if only for the fact he ALREADY has 30,000 From BB..So, I see it being Adam.
Posted by: Kells at April 25, 2008 05:01 PM
Oh, I didn't know this was a BBA meeting! Hi my name is sleepyeye9 and I am Big Brotheraholic -- as well silly hamstersaholic. I have tried the 12 step program, but it just wasn't as much fun.
As for the stipend the hamsters get in the house. Remember - they also have free room and board (sometimes slop) on top of the stipend. Shoot the food alone for the final two must be astronomical!!!
I too have noticed how useful the word F*cking is for the last two seasons. It can be a nown, verb, adverb, adjective. Can mean you are happy, sad, mad, excited, bored or verbally challenged! With this group, I am going for the last.
Will of course watch Sunday, just to see all the dregs together -- and what was said to whom. And then come back to HD's site for a final farewell to HD and all of the posters here who make this a fun place to reat and post.
So looking forward to BB10, and getting together with everyone here so we rehash the action and share a laugh or many laughs!
Posted by: Sleepyeye9 at April 25, 2008 05:51 PM
Well, I didn't really care about who won before I watched the clips and now I REALLY don't care. With the early comments Adam made about "the wonderful kids" he will donate his money to and his rants about wanting a houseguest to get cancer and calling Sheila the "C" word...Ryan the racist ain't much better...I wonder waht will happen when Ryan finds out that Jen called him a racist while she was in the house? I had fun watching this season for a while, but what a crappy ending.
Posted by: misha627 at April 25, 2008 06:10 PM
I finally figured out why (or at least one of the reasons) that I'm so hacked off about Dumb and Dumber being F2. I feel cheated. We build up all season long to the BIG finale. What do we get?? Let's Make a Deal. Grrrrr. What a "friggin'" letdown. No one suffered - hell, no one even tried. They weren't really invested in the competitions. The games were fixed by Adam and Ryan, and I resent the heck out of it. OK. Rant over.
Posted by: Toots at April 25, 2008 07:24 PM
If I had to pick one of these idiots to win, I guess it would have to be Adam. I really don't like Ryan at all. I liked him at the beginning of the season, but his true personality really came through by the end. Hmm, so his 'racist' side came out did it? Sounds like maybe Jen was right when she called him a racist?
So, is it too much to ask for a better group for BB10?
Posted by: Wik at April 25, 2008 07:47 PM
I've been rethinking my original opinion that Adam would win easily.
Lord knows what each Jury Member is basing their vote on (Good Game Play, Who Screwed Them, or Who was their Buddy/Confidant).
I think Matt, Joshua and Sharon were closer to Ryan than Adam and would vote for Ryan. I think Sheila will ultimately vote for Adam and I think James would also vote for Adam.
Natalie seemed closer to Ryan especially after Matt was evicted, but Adam's whispered comment that he voted for her might sway her to Adam. Chelsea is a wild card who might be swayed by James to vote for Adam, but based on her parting comment telling Adam to "get a spine", she doesn't seem to have much natural affinity for Adam.
My thinking now is that the vote will be close, four to three, and the ultimate winner will revolve around Natalie and Chelsea's votes.
Posted by: Dutch at April 25, 2008 07:49 PM
The thing that cracked me up was Adam getting so worked up over who was angry and who were "stand up" guys and then he admitted that if Ryan had voted him out he would have GONE OFF on him and then he acted out what he would have said! I guess Adam loves people with class who are stand up guys, he just isn't one of them!
Posted by: missy at April 25, 2008 07:55 PM
for someone who is so religious adam curses too much..is he going to put the money in gods hands..i dont think so..how he has a good job with cbs is beyond me
Posted by: alau53 at April 25, 2008 10:11 PM
I can't believe I just dragged my laptop all the way upstairs, forgot my wireless mouse and pad, had to trek downstairs yet again, and then forgot what the friggin' hell I was all fired up to say... Good grief. Oh, yeah - I hope someone, somewhere tells Adam that he does NOT look good in a "wife-beater" undershirt. Funny as all get out that Ryam was doing crafts and Adam was b*tching about it. Perhaps Ryan was just "friggin'" with Adam - and all the while regretting the choice he made. AND I think that Adam plays to the cameras a LOT. He's in the couch room or whatever it's called (I like to call it Sharon's Room) reading the Bible and Ryan is still amusing himself making stars out of clay. Are they bored or what? Adam's voice scares the poop out of my Pootie Cats, so I'm glad he's reading now. Question: How can two big guys like Dumb and Dumber have such big arms and yet still drag around those pot-bellies on itty bitty legs, in comparison?? Methinks they might need a trainer to (duh) "train" them on how to "train", so they won't end up looking like they're made of Flubber.
And another thing...I hope that Evel Dick knocks them down a peg or two right in the middle of the wrap party. He's already said they barely share a nut, so to speak. Go for it, ED!! I can't stand Sheila, but Ryan should've taken her to the finals - I agree with whomever said that he just gave away (possibly) $450K with that stupid move. BTW, did anyone see the HC on Thursday and Dick's, ummmm, antics??? Worth a view, but cover your keyboad up before starting it. It helps if you've seen Sheila's Penthouse pics is all I'm going to say...
If I had that much time cooped up in a house with another person and the outcome was basically 50/50, I'd give up the "game talk" and try to have a normal conversation for a change. There is nothing left to be done on game - the jury has already given them a dual wedgie, verbally.
ARGHHH!! Now Adam thinks he's going to be on the Letterman show. Thinking out loud, just assuming he's going to win...Ryan just gazes at the ceiling. These two don't even qualify to be a "Rainman". At least Rainman was a savant.
OMG, they are actually eating again for the second time since I started this diatribe. I'm "over and out". Sorry, HD, for venting my frustrations here - but what a fun! place to vent!! At least here we get feedback!
Posted by: Toots at April 25, 2008 10:29 PM
missy,
I think the only time Adam is a "stand up guy" is when he needs to stand up to scratch his balls!!!
Posted by: Susie at April 26, 2008 06:22 AM
I would like to say THANK YOU to HD for being my main source to find out the latest drama (or lack there of!) going on in the BB house. I look forward to reading your views and opinions in the future! To all my fellow ADDICTS - Screw the "12-stepping", we all need our "fix" of the guilty pleasure I call BIG BROTHER... Watching these people make ME feel "normal" :-) (Whatever that is!) Thanks again HamsterDame, you are a class act! FYI- I also think Ryan handed Adam the grand prize the second he evicted Sheila. Wish James would've gone all the way to final 2, he really did play the game. Here's looking to BB10!!

Sandic- you mentioned matt was a gamer? what did he ever do in the house to make him that? He got evicted without winning anything (except maybe a couples pov?). I was glad he was gone, he was a conceited pig imo. Anyway, I think it is stupid to spend a lot of time and labor on a competition 'setup' when the houseguest make deals and it last 45 mins!! Can't stand that. I said when it was down to final four that I wished they would evict sheila so at least we get a more exciting endurance comp with sharon!!! Sheila can't do anything for long except complain. Maybe BB will start telling them to stop throwing those big end of game comps but I doubt it. i would be ticked if i built that comp for so little time it was used.

I hope that Evel Dick knocks them [Ryan & Adam] down a peg or two right in the middle of the wrap party
I would love to see that too. Here's why. I don't think that Ryan or Adam, either one, would take ANY shit off of ED. They are not anything like Eric or Dustin, who just cowered and almost wet their pants when ED went off on them. ED would have his ass handed to him. Who the f**k is ED that anyone would take his crap?

Does anybody remember if Sharon got rid of her blankie the last week or two that she was in the house?
Somebody said that Adam only has to stand up when he needs to scratch his balls. He does not. I've seen him sleep with his hands in his pants, and I've seen him lying down, with the Bible in one hand and his balls in the other. I was thinking that Adam's balls are like Sharon's blankie, and that made me think that I didn't notice her with her blankie during her last week or two.

Gray, In regards to Sharon's blankie-I saw her place it in her suitcase when she was packing the last day. I really liked Sharon but it's amazing to me that someone her age still has a blankie.

Well, gray, at least ED is a "winner", whether you like it or not. Just sayin'... And those two finalists like to think they're to top of the heap. I think the top of the heap is a tie between Dr. Will and ED, and these two won't be able to find the first sherpa station on the slope.

Toots, I'm glad that ED won over that brat daughter of his, although I certainly did not want either of them in the F2. Oh, well. Have to give the old fart credit for his performance in the final HOH endurance comp though; he stayed in MUCH longer than I ever thought he would. I can't think of any reason for him to go off on either Ryan or Adam at the BB9 Wrap Party, and I cannot imagine why you think he should.
I am pretty happy with how this season turned out, since Jen, Allison, JoshuaH, Chelsia, James, and Shelia didn't make it to F2. I was sweating it with Shelia. Now if only Adam can win the 500K to keep Jen from claiming her "share."

This past week's crap with ED on Housecalls (which I normally don't get a chance to check out) was none too interesting. It blew some time and solidified my opinion that Dick is someone seeking fame, thinks he found it, and is going to milk it for all it is worth.
The massive wig-underwear - hello, has no one seen any old school porn or nude pics from back then - that is what they ALL looked like.
Dick is still not someone I need to know. He netertained me in the house, but I found his piggishness and rude/mean behavior wrong.

ED (so am I) just disgusted with the lack of gameplay in the competitions that we saw..the only competition was "should I throw it or do you want to"..That's why no one cares who wins..the "endurance" comps were BULLSHIT!! Pardon my french, HD..

Gray, I didn't say that I thought ED "should" go off on the F2 at the wrap party - I just hoped that he would since he alluded to that on HC sometime in the past week or so - or maybe it was that silly thing on Real that he and Janelle did. Not my call, but wish I could watch! And I think both Ryan and Adam would take anything that ED would dish out, just for the honor of being taken down a peg or two by ED. Braggin' rights, doncha know??? And then they'd change the story of how it happened/what was said immediately.

The WallRats must be getting bored tonight and playing around for us. Every time that Adam, especially, makes some completely off the wall, gross, misogynistic remark, they do a quick shot of the large mouth bass mounted on the wall - or whatever sort of fish he is, he still has a LARGE mouth - with his mouth in a big OOOO. Just a really quick shot of the fish. Their way of saying "OMG!! I can't believe Adam said that out loud on national TV!!" I suppose. That's what he and Ryan get for talking about "consuming kitty". Anyway, it's been hysterical watching for the fish. Have I mentioned that I'm easily amused?? Especially late at night/early morning... Gotta love that fish, though.

About Sharon and her blankie. I have a 20 year old in college and she has her blankie tucked in her pillow case and holds on to it every night. I asked if this was common and she said almost all the girls have something and quite a few of the boys even. When she comes home, she will even make sure it is in her carryon in case the airlines lose her luggage.
I'm glad to see they acknowledged James in a positive manner. I always thought he was probably the smartest one in the house. Sometimes his actions showed his immaturity, but mostly I thought he was by far the best of the house. He is my favorite.
I never had a problem with Jen, she was a little over confident, but she only verbalized what all the others were thinking.
As to who wins, I could care less, don't really like or dislike either of these two finals. I was pulling for James, Ches, Josh or Sharon.
Now on to the money. For a prorated salary of 39k, I know a lot of people who work hard every day supporting a family on not much more than that. A lot harder time in life than these have had the last 3 months.

ok..so..this one is done..moving on to BB10. I would love to see the BB folks put a real "star" in the house next season. But give him or her a disguise like they do stars with that platex-face stuff see how long it would take the hamsters to figure it out. I also think they should use comments from the hamsters as prizes in some games. comments that would give away their game play or sneaky things they said in private that would piss off other hamsters in the house. Also they could hook a treadmill up to the shower so if they wanted to shower they would have to get someone to run on it for them to get the water to run. haha. Same with the toilet, can't get in the door to the toilet until you figure out a riddle or something. haha. Yes i have to much time on my hands. I know. Oh..and can BB change the backyard, it's really getting boring. Put in a new pool or something, geeze... GO back to the PBAJ too.
