(S09E32) "Team Christ has passed away and cannot be resurrected." - RyanIt's down to the final four in that
Big Brother 9 house of misguided malcontents. What kind of wacky shenanigans will they pull this week? I can't believe I actually said "wacky shenanigans." I don't know what came over me, perhaps cabin fever from watching the live feeds and the show this season. Have they figured out that the guinea pigs are the third preexisting relationship in the house? Ryan has to put two of the three remaining houseguests on the block while he has alliances with two of the three. A sticky dilemma indeed!
Read on past the jump for the full review of the show.

Who's on first? What's on second? I don't care! As we get into the final days of
Big Brother 9, I have no one to cheer on. Earlier in the season I adamantly didn't want Sheila to win. But since she's stepped up her game a bit and actually got her hands bloody evicting Natalie, she's as good a candidate for the win as Adam, Ryan, or Sharon for me. Whatever!
Oh, I'm still interested in watching the show and the feeds, mind you. I just won't get too excited over who ultimately wins the half-million. I just hope the producers can come up with folks I identify more with for
Big Brother 10, set to premiere in July.

We have four
Big Brother 9 shows remaining in the season. We have four houseguests left in the house. Now, bear with me on this; hear me out. This season has been flawed since its start with the couples and the network thinking they were going to make it all sexy. Sure, some watch for that reason, but I think more are just intrigued watching how folks interact with each other in the house. So, four shows, four houseguests. Let's get rid of them one a show, then give the guinea pigs the money at the end. What do you say?

You'll be happy to know I checked into the background of the third preexisting relationship currently in the
Big Brother 9 house -- the guinea pigs. It is indeed a relationship started well before the ill-fated
BB9 season. Hansel and Gretal (their names have been changed to protect them from nefarious ne'er-do-wells currently appearing on the show) were high school sweethearts in Piscataway, NJ. Both pursued acting careers after college, but Hansel became a bartender at CBGB's on the Lower East Side while Gretal taught aerobics to gerbils in Washington Heights. Now, here's the kicker -- they met James at a bar in Brooklyn and he got them cast for this season.
Or, I could be making it all up. Show spoilers after the jump!

Beebies! My beebies! My fur-iends! I just don't know. I realize I talk to my cat, but I hope I don't sound as whacked-out as Sharon does when she talks to the guinea pigs in the
Big Brother 9 house. Of course, I discuss politics, religion, and world issues with my cat rather than just calling her pet names. That might be the difference.
One of the houseguests, either Sharon or Natalie, will be evicted on tonight's show. Don't you want to be prepared for the outcome? Read on past the jump for news from the 24/7 live feeds -- spoilers ahead!

(S09E30) "I kept getting turned down for acting jobs. Then I realized God wanted me to go on TV and be me." - Natalie
Well, I don't know about that. The more I watch Natalie on
Big Brother 9, the more I'm sure that Paula Abdul, Lucille Ball, and Chucky the killer doll had some sort of bizarre ménage à trois and came up with a love child named Natalie who has found religion and uses it as it suits her needs. Sure, she can play the game well. Oh, and she surely does a good Natalie. But I can't see her ever becoming an actress. Read on past the jump for my full review of tonight's show.

Today is the tax deadline, but I don't think there's anyone or anything more taxing than the houseguests inside the
Big Brother 9 house. Heck, they're even taxing the staff within the walls there. Adam keeps bouncing a ball in the kitchen and the piped through the house
BB voice yells, "Adam, STOP THAT!" Sometimes as I watch the feeds, I want to yell through the house, "Houseguests, STOP THAT!" Until that day, I'll live vicariously through the
BB staff voice.

Tonight's episode of
Big Brother 9 will air the end of the
Glass Houses head of household endurance competition, as well as the nominations made by the new HOH. But that's old news for those of us who regularly watch the 24/7 live feeds inside the house.
Right now, in the image on the right, Natalie is primping in anticipation of an after veto ceremony meeting. Yes, you heard me right. The houseguests have already competed for the power of veto and the winner either used it or not. For spoilers on the episodes which will be aired both tonight and Tuesday, read on past the jump.

(S09E27) "I stirred the pot for no reason." - Adam
Nah, Adam. I like it that you shook things up a bit. Adam's latest nominations in the
Big Brother 9 house alienated his alliance. We're talking about a house which puts James on the block week after week. Then he wins veto week after week and saves himself. Well, there was that time that the houseguests all voted him back in after they had evicted him. If they all want James out of the house so badly, their approach just isn't working, is it?

Someone in the
Big Brother 9 house will be going home tomorrow. While I can't say for sure proof positive who will be walking out the door because it's a live vote, I have a pretty good idea. After all, the power of veto competition was held the other day and it was used or not.
They think Sharon's the mole? Well, they have it all wrong. I'm the mole and I'm telling all I know. Uh-oh. If I'm a mole, I can't type this report. I want my opposable thumbs back!

In last night's review of
Big Brother 9, I dubbed Adam "Compassion Lad" because he has such compassion for others -- James and Sheila come to mind. Since I have a bit of white space here to fill before going into spoilers after the jump, I've decided to give each one of the houseguests a superhero name.
Let's see ... Sheila must be Mighty Mouth. Sharon could be the Invisible Woman. Ryan is the Smoking Man. Hmmm ... Natalie would have to be the GODdess. Then there's James. Whatever else he might be, he'll always be the geek in the pink to me.

(S09E26) "Why did you vote me back into the house if you didn't want to work with me?" - James
It's once again nominations time in the
Big Brother 9 house. The last time Adam was the head of household, it seemed that Natalie actually took the reins during his reign. Will the second time be Adam's time to shine or will he let other dictate his nominations once again? And how about that James? Are his nine lives just about up? He's an island, you know. He's lost his Chelsia and his Joshuah. Heck, he's not an island. He's more like an abandoned can along the roadside.
Read on for the full review of tonight's episode.

In the
Big Brother 9 house, the power of veto meeting was held this afternoon. No, you won't see that until Tuesday on the aired television show. But since I can't have spoilers here on the main page, I'll just take a moment to mention that Sharon twitches really strangely as she sleeps in the sun. She's doing odd face contortions in rhythm with her breathing. My gosh, I hope I don't do that. She's looking a bit like Popeye the Sailor Man at times. Yikes!
In the image gallery below, there aren't any game spoilers, but you will see James' tattoos without the CBS blurs. For show spoilers, read on past the jump!

It's Saturday in the
Big Brother 9 house. Now, you know what that means. It means Ryan is snoring on Feed 3, Sharon is looking bored on Feed 1, Sheila is folding laundry on Feed 2, and Adam is playing with a radio-controlled car in the yard on Feed 4. Yes, the excitement on Sharon's face tells it all.
But things have happened. Nominations have been made. A food comp went down and we have a power of veto winner. There just isn't much happening at the moment. For spoilers on both the Sunday and Tuesday episodes, read on past the jump!

What's been happening in the
Big Brother 9 house? Has Natalie thrown her love of Mattie to the roadside and taken up with A-Baller? They look pretty darn chummy in this photo. Hey, you never know. It's
Big Brother, you have to expect the unexpected.
Nominations are done, a food competition has been held, and there is a power of veto winner. And, gee ... Adam and Natalie might be real soulmates. If you want show spoilers for both the Sunday and Tuesday night shows, read on past the jump!
