Big Brother Craze

Did you see it? Today’s was James’ interview on Real Player, feed four. It was a whole bunch of the Crazy James we love! From what he’s doing now, what he plans to do in the near future, to what bars are best in what states, to Chelsia’s Dad’s death threats because of his porn past - he touched on it all. As soon as someone has it on you tube, I’ll post that here as well!

This interview proved what I’d believed about him from the very beginning - he’s just a great guy. A quote “I don’t want to be a reality douchebag. I just want to meet my fans, hug them, spread the love.” He’s got a good head on his shoulders, and good strong ideals he stands by with conviction. He’s real, and comfortable in his skin. I want my kids to have that kind of strength - though I’d be happy if they’d skip the porn part, of course. *g*

He was even cool with ‘haters’ - someone said “I think your sick, what do you say about that?” And James replied that it was awesome, he’s glad he’s out there thinking and making his own decisions. But he’s not changing just because he made one person sick. He’s not changing for anyone.

He also had advice for future houseguests: Be real, be straight up, be honest with how you portray yourself. You’ll have to lie in the game though, realize that, but be real. Call people out when they need it. I liked doing that - though I didn’t like it when they did it to me. (laugh)

There are a lot of things that he has coming up, including some video blogging and such. He’ll keep his fans up to date on his myspace, so check that out. Be aware that right now he has over 7000 friend requests in waiting, plus messages, so he’ll get to it as soon as he can.

There’s a lot of good stuff in the interview - and I’ll get it posted as soon as it is available, so check back soon!

They’re here! After the cut:

The premiere of What Happens In Vegas was last night - and pictures are popping up all over of Ryan and Sharon as they enjoyed their luxury competition win! They clean up pretty nice, all told - though I do question the brightness of those blue shoes… then again, I’m no fashionista, so what would I know? (grin)

They are also seen a couple of times in the Access Hollywood interviews at the red carpet - you can find the video here, and I did a couple screen caps and added red arrows to make it easier to see them for you! I know, I spoil ya, but that’s ok, I like to!

I am officially jealous. Harumph.

The Big Brother 9 wrap party was last night, and pictures and videos are trickling in as I speak… er, type! I know a lot of us wish they’d show the wrap party on the feeds, but there’s good reasons for that not happening - it’s not only the wrap for the houseguests, but for production as well. Thus, everyone is off duty - no one to film it! So we rely on the kindness of those lucky folks who attend and shoot video and take pictures for all of us to enjoy!

Here’s some random footage:

Everyone singing happy birthday to Adam:

And the all-important GAG REEL!!

There are a ton of pictures to be found here, thanks to lovinthewill from Jokers.

More as they become available!

Thanks to DreamersVids who got these from Real Player for everyone! Because we don’t have near enough videos, right? Right!

Here’s a mish mash of other tidbits from the interviewers at the Finale, including producers Allison Grodner, Casting Director Robin Kass, AND the VOICE of Big Brother! (Please go to the diary room!)

And here we go, rounding out the jury house! Poor Matt - he was so flabbergasted and unsettled and trying to be the big man on campus still. Too funny.

Here’s still more! James, the winner of the last minute prize, America’s Favorite Juror! (hurray! Evil Doer’s REPRESENT!) I know you won’t be surprised that I loved his interviews the most - as it showed just how happy, fun and good a guy he is. I hope Bunky makes good on his plan and films it all for the site! That’d be awesome! Love him! Think Pink, ya’ll!

We’ve got a ton of interviews that started trickling in about midnight last night, and are still making their way to youtube format. I’ll try and link to as many as possible here, so you have them all in one place and can watch them all at your convenience. Once the houseguests are no longer on CBS time (the wrap party, I believe, is Wednesday) I’ll be contacting those I can reach and trying for our more personal BBC interviews as well. So stay tuned - we’ve a lot of good stuff coming!

I’ll set up posts for the houseguests by twos - and link to all the interviews and such I can find. If I miss one, leave a comment, and I’ll come back and add it to the appropriate posts, ok? Ok!

In the meantime - Let’s get started with the Final Two, hm?

Man - does anyone else feel rushed? I do wish the finale shows were two hours. We could use the extra time to address other things that happened in the season - I mean, the Guinea Pigs didn’t even get their final say about being the last relationship standing! If I were them, I’d sue! There’s so much more that could be shown if only we had the time. The Evicted houseguests didn’t get to say hardly anything, though I was pleased with the amount of time they spent on the Round table this year, but during as well as Adam and Ryan’s reactions to it.

I thought the vote would be closer, I really did, right up until I watched the round table bit. Adam CLEARLY rocked the questions and answers, and Ryan floundered like crazy. There was no doubt in my mind that Adam would win then - and I wasn’t even surprised that Joshuah was the only hold out vote for Ryan.

James’ last comment cracked me up, and I’m absolutely THRILLED that he won the $25k. What made it better was ADAM being thrilled by it too - he was like a little kid seeing his friend win - all jumping up and down and hugging and yeah. Cute. Of course, Ya’ll know I think just about anything to do with James is cool x 10, so. Yeah. Whatever. *grin*

Now, just because BB9 is officially over (oh my bed is calling me, singing sweet nothings of full nights of rest and relaxation..) doesn’t mean we’re disappearing here at Big Brother Craze (And by ‘we’ I mean ‘me’ because I’m a one woman show, yo!). Nope, in fact I’ll still be here plugging away right up until July 13th, where we start it all over again. I’ve still got two interviews in the works, and will do my best to snag other’s as they get home. In the following week there will be many post-show interviews as well, and as they become available I’ll be sure and post them for you to enjoy. Dick and Daniele are interviewing in the back yard for Real, and CBS2 usually has quite a few interviews as well. Ryan and Adam will be on the Morning Show with Julie tomorrow, and there will be print interviews to dig up too.

So basically - keep checking back folks, there will be goodies to be found here often - enough to keep us going until we get a new crop of houseguests to snark on! And you all know how I love a great case of snark! Thanks for sticking around with me all season long - ya’ll are the best!

-:30 That’s right - we’re a mere 30 minutes away from the Finale of Big Brother 9! Who will win the cash - Adam or Ryan? How bitter will the Jury be in questioning, tonight? What will Julie WEAR? All these questions and more will be answered soon, LIVE! Barring any feed problems, I’ll be here to recap as it happens. Stay tuned!

:01 Hello Julie! Here we go… It was 81 days ago when 16 men and women walked into the Big Brother house - now it’s down to two, who will win and be crowned the winner of Big Brother? The live finale begins now!

:02 Previously on big Brother… it’s a season long recap folks! After a season of confrontation, romance, heartbreak, and outrageous behavior, 14 housguests have departed, and tonight 7 will return to make a difficult decision. Who will be crowned the winner - find out right now, live on the Season finale of Big Brother!

:08 Hi Julie! IN the beginning it was till death do you part - but for Adam and Ryan it was bros to the end. One of them will be crowned the winner - will it be Adam, or Ryan? The 7 evicted houseguests will be here to cast their votes life. But that’s not all - you have an important decision to make as well - throughout tonight, you’ll get to vote for your favorite juror, and that person will win $25K.

But first - hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Cut to the Jury house, where the 6 people sit around for the round table discussion, waiting for the 7th member. Natalie says that she hopes Adam will stay, and Joshuah says Ryan has a backbone, and just as Joshuah says that Sheila couldn’t fight her way out of a paper bag, she walks around the corner and there’s hugs for everyone. Matt says what the hell happened. Sheila says that Adam screwed her over and dropped the ball and gave up the third competition to Ryan, knowing that she’d win in the final two. James asks if Ryan would win against Adam? And Sheila says to give it all to Ryan and admits that she’s bitter. Josh asks if she can put her bitterness aside, and she says she has a moral delima with both of them.

Matt says he will look at who won the most comps, and who outsmarted the rest the most, and it looks like Adam did. Chelsia says that throwing the comps is a huge chance. Josh says Ryan played a good game, won the competitions, that’s why he is still in the game, Adam is coasting by. Matt says the POV when they combined to get James out was smart. Sheila says Adam is a bad player because he threw the competition. Natalie says he was smart and the most scandalous for having deals with everyone - smart. Sheila says again that Ryan played a better game, Adam has lied to all of them. Matt says big brother is lying - where do you draw the line. Sheila says Adam lied at the very end of the game, and that was the most important time. Sharon says that Adam was Ryan’s spine - Adam took Ryan to the end. Josh says Ryan was a smooth talker, that’s not bad gameplay, it’s good gameplay. James says then again - he says one thing to you, then different with everyone else.

Matt points out they lied and he double-crossed all of them. James says he can’t wait to see what they say. Josh says last impressions will be a huge deal, and help him decide.

:15 Who will win? Coming up, Adam and Ryan had no idea what they were in for when they jury began to grill them. Stay with us!

:16 Commercial!

Today is the day - at long last. Tonight we find out which of the Tweedles wins Big Brother 9, and begin our not-so-long wait for Big Brother 10. We’ll be reunited with all of the houseguests, and have an all too quick show where our beloved Chenbot will flub up some questions, show some clips, and talk to the bitter, bitter jury before they cast their final votes.

When it comes to who ‘deserves’ the money, they will surely bring far more then game into it, especially Sheila (who deserves it more then anyone - just ask her!). What they should look at is what happened IN the house, and who had the best Gameplay and worked the hardest to get there. Both played a good game, though in completely different ways. One won key comps, the other threw more then he won, but was always around the edges during the big scenes - involved, but not directly. Adam had the additional challenge of dealing with Sheila throughout, which is enough to haunt anyone’s nightmares forever, while Ryan had to shake off the impression his girlfriend made on the game before she was evicted.

I don’t know - I see it still as 4-3, either way. Won’t be much longer before we find out for sure though! I’ll be back at show time, east coast style, to recap it all!

It’s been another day of the boys doing what they boys do - in fact I didn’t turn on the feeds until a couple hours ago, and from what I can tell I didn’t miss a thing. There was trashing of the Jury, manscaping, meals and snacking, some time in the pool, and naptime.

The boys are bored out of their mind, seriously nic-fitting, and pacing like lions prowling a cage. So! Because there is less then 24 hours to go, and having read of the aftermath of the jury questioning, it’s a perfect time to start guessing who is going to vote for whom. Join in the comments section and tell us what you think, too!

This is a bitter, bitter jury - both boys have said that Joshuah, Sharon and Sheila were the worst during the question/interrogation the other night. So who will they vote for?

Joshuah: He had a final two deal with Ryan, but he clearly hates on Adam for reasons not entirely clear - which way will he go?
Sharon: Also a final two deal with Ryan after Joshuah left, but Ryan turned on her and let Adam vote her out. With the two of them clearly working together for her ouster - who will she punish more?
Sheila: Hated Adam from day one, and hates even more that he didn’t carry her all the way to final two. Heaven forbid she should win something on he own….
Natalie: Unhappy with the boys making it a tie vote and letting Sheila oust her, who is she more likely to give her vote? Adam - who mouthed that he voted for her, or Ryan, who didn’t?
Mattie: I don’t think he cares at all who wins. He is a complete toss-up. Ryan was on the block against him, and Adam voted against him, so he may lean toward Ryan.
Chelsia: She considers Adam spineless, and Ryan put her on the block - it’ll be the lesser of two evils for her. I do think she’ll vote with James, though.
James: Of all of them, I think James is the only one that will look at gameplay rather then personal feelings for either of the boys. Ryan and Adam both sang his praises after the Jury questions, saying he is a stand up guy all the way around.

So - James and Chelsia will likely vote the same way, as will Joshuah and Sharon. Sheila will vote for whomever she feels least betrayed her, as will Natalie. Mattie, I can see him waiting till the last minute and eenie miny moe-ing it to decide. I think it’ll go 4-3 either way, and Adam POSSIBLY has the slightest edge on Ryan for the win.

What do you think?
