Big Brother 9 (airs Feb 12, 2008)

Yes! I was happy to see her win which from the looks of other peoples comments I'm the only one here but thats alright I'll still root for her!

That's okay Chris. A lot of the way we perceive these people is the way that the producers want us to see them. You have to figure there is probably something a little off about all of them to agree to live in a situation like this in front of so many cameras. Just because I am not happy with the HoH this week is no reason you shouldn't be able to celebrate the fact that you are happy. It is what makes the thread remain interesting.

I would have rather anyone but Natalie win HOH. She grates on my last nerve. Well we know she will put up James this week for sure.

[tinkerbell04]

And James survived another week. Who do you all think Adam will put up? I think it will be James and Sharon and I am sure that James is expecting it. I would like to see him put up Sheila and Natalie though

[chrisb26]

I was fine with who went home this week would have much rather it been James but Josh is pretty annoying also.

I do have to say I find if pretty funny that after Matt Cried we say Chelsea, Josh, and James all made fun of him for doing so except now we have seen them all ball their eyes out because they are up on the block. Especially James who made the biggest deal of it and seemed to have a huge break down.

I was happy to see Adam win HOH I do hope he puts up James and Sharon with James going home since I can't stand him at all.

Oh not sure if this is a spoiler or not which I doubt it is but I'll put it in white anyways

Apparently Adam told Ryan that Diary Room told Adam to work with James not against him like has been the case.

If that is true then I think I'm done with this season. I'm not going to watch the show if the producers will go so far as to edit the way the people in the house want to play the game. I mean its one thing to edit the way a house guest acts by editing the footage that was shot, but if you're going to then fix the way they team up with people they might as well hire all actors and script the entire show.

I was going to say the other day, do we have a bunch of sniveling cry babies this time or what? I've never seen so many "men" cry before especially on a show like this. Wouldn't it be funny if the person everyone hated to begin with, Adam, turned out to be the winner? Man, these are a bunch of losers this time! I wouldn't mind seeing Sharon or Ryan win though. I think they are about the only two decent players in the whole show.

Does anyone read the blogs , subscribe to the live feeds or watch Showtime AfterDark?

I dont have the feeds but I check in on the blogs & watch Showtime. So much is left unseen this season if youre only watching the CBS show. I dont feel bad about "spoiling" myself a little.

I have had the live feeds for all of the Big Brother seasons. I don't have Showtime. I haven't been on Intercot much lately because I've been posting screencaps from the live feeds for the first time this year. In past years I would transcribe live feeds for one of the Big Brother sites. You really get a different sense of the show when you follow it everyday then just watching the tv shows.

Having this early edition of Big Brother I feel like I've had to split my time more between several shows. Not used to having American Idol on at the same time.

There has always been debate about how much BB manipulates the game. I was watching the feed yesterday during the heated conversation between Ryan, James, Natalie and Adam. A recorded version can easliy be found online. I was unhappy with what appeared to be BB interfering with that conversation.

I had heard about that as well on-line. I am sure that people watch James and that he brings in good ratings, but if that is the case, it really isn't the premise of the game anymore. Then again, maybe it was never really that way!

[pixiesmimi]

I really thought James was going to pull it off and turn everyone against Natalie. I did not want to see Sharon go home though. Maybe he has planted a seed and they will target Natalie this week. Hopefully she won't win HOH.

[KarenP]

I am not even sure the show is worth watching now that James went home. He was the only interesting one left.

This season is defintely not my favorite.

I know! Its like all the fun just got voted out the door. Im not a fan of any of the house guests this year but at least James was playing the game! Now the only thing I have to look forward to is watching that ridiculous Natalie get voted out. She is one of the most hypocritical ppl I have ever seen! I know its a game but she shouldnt preach so much and then talk about her past/current indescretions as if they are ok. And the whole Nat & Matt situation - her denial of well.. we all know what of Not that Chelsia was some angel but at least what happened between her and James falls more under the category of showmance IMO

[pixiesmimi]

It was all I could do to keep from turning it off last night just to get rid of Natalie's ridiculous constant chatter. When she kept saying in the box "What do I do?" I wanted to say "You can shut up!" Now she is suddenly the world's expert on the Bible? Her misusing it and the name of Jesus like this is what turns people off of Christians. I sure hope their plan works to get her off and hope she doesn't win the POV. Now that will be a twist in this boring episode!

[chrisb26]

I don't know if I'm really happy Shelia won. She was kind of annoying me last night and I still can say I don't like her. Although Natalie was also very annoying last night.

Some of the things that Shelia was saying last night kind of struck me as odd. The biggest one being "I can't believe I won HOH" I mean really? You can't believe it? Natalie and Ryan let you win HOH cause I'm pretty sure they could have lasted much longer and given you more of a competition.

Also her thing she said in the Diary about Nataile holding up so long after she agreed to the deal. Can you blame Natalie for staying up longer thinking it over? I mean last time she threw an Endurance HOH to let somebody else win after making a deal with them didn't he later stab her in the back and go back on their deal? So can you really blame her?

[ljv1975]

I have to say that last nights episode was very boring. I wish there would have been something like a food competition to make it more interesting to watch. I used to really like Natalie - mostly because I felt bad for her because of the way Matt treated her. I hate to say it, but now I can almost see why he was mean to her and always telling her to leave him alone. If I were stuck with her 24/7 she would more than likely get on my nerves too!! She is starting to annoy me and I only see her on TV for an hour!

[chrisb26]

Well I'd like to say I was surprised but I wasn't

I just don't see the logic in wanting Natalie out so badly. I mean she is annoying but I look at it like this.

Currently in the Jury House is Matt, Josh, Chelsea, and James. Out of them who would vote for Natalie in the end? Matt is the only person she would get a vote from so that is basically 3 votes against Natalie off the bat. So alls the other person that would be against Natalie in the Final 2 would need is 1 vote.

Also if you break it down Sharon and Natalie are not that different.

1) Competitions: Natalie is very strong for Endurance competitions. However so is Sharon she lasted a long time in the first endurance competition. Now the last she did drop very fast but that is because she hurt her back the night before when James jumped on it. Now as far as thinking HOH goes I would be more afraid to go against Sharon I mean the HOH Natalie won was pretty random you guessed correctly you had it. The one Sharon won you actually needed to know things to win.

2) Playing both Sides: Well other then the fact they basically all have. How can you say Natalie has done it the most? Sharon was in an alliance with James, Chelsea, and Josh and she was playing all nice to Shelia and them you don't think she was playing both sides?

3) Final 2: Who would you rather have against you? Sharon claims she would get a maximum of 3 votes I say you have a minimum of 3 votes. If Sharon was in the final 2 all she would have to do is get one other person on her side and she would have it. Whereas Natalie has 3 against her off the back basically she would need the other 4 members to vote for her and I'm guessing Sharon also wouldn't give her the vote so basically she doesn't have much of a chance of winning.

So to me it seems logical she may be annoying to watch but the house guests you'd think would realize she is the logical one to keep but I guess since they don't like her much they will kick her out.

[2Epcot]

I agree it does not make sense to vote out Natalie. Sharon has a lot more votes in the jury, so it would be stupid to take her to the end. Most of the house seems to not like Natalie, so it would be smart to be sitting next to her at the end.

[KineGirl]

Well I think the one thing we can all agree on is that this is NOT the smartest group of HGs in BB history! As a matter of fact, with exception to a couple of ppl - they have very little game too. As a viewer I dont want Nat in F2 for the fact that I dont even want her to get 50G. I dislike her that much. That being said if I was playing Id take her or Ryan to the end. Ppl seem to dislike him & Jen alot not to mention he has ZERO game - a coat tailer at best IMO. I really dont get the whole Nat is threat thing either - she hasnt won any endurance comps (I know shes lasted but she hasnt won) and isnt very bright. The things she has won has been luck (puzzle & guessing). I think Adam is the biggest threat. Hes the most well liked by both sides & smart. Well tonight will tell... Im interested in seeing whos gonna take HOH and what the comp will be.

[Ian]

No kidding ... these folks are about as sharp as a bowling ball ...

This has been the absolute worst season of Big Brother I can ever remember. Half the time I don't even watch the show, nor do I care that I've missed it.

The whole couples thing was stupid, they picked mostly people who are incredibly annoying, and none of these idiots can play the game.

Horrid. Just horrid.

[ChipnDaleGal]

I have quit watching because I agree with you Ian - worst season ever. But I have been reading a Big Brother site in the hopes of hearing that Natalie was given the boot. I am glad she is out of the running for the money. I hope they cast the summer edition better than they did this one.
