Big Brother

Big Brother 9.  It ends tonight.  Will it be the big, red-haired lug who wins the $500,000?  Or, will it be the big, dark-haired lug?  Ryan and Adam will either be voted for or against by the seven jury members tonight, but only after each of the jury members grills the final two.  Julie Chen will awkwardly preside over the festivities, in what will be a rather anti-climactic finale.  None of these two finalists are particularly lovable or despicable - they're likable guys with some flaws.  There's no evil house guest to root against - no Dr. Will, no Dick Donato.  But, we take what we can get.  Big Brother 9 finale - I'll be here live throughout the episode giving updates as the votes come in.

I'm so disappointed in myself - I missed Andy Rooney tonight.   Good thing I watched The McLaughlin Group this morning for my fill of old men rambling incoherently.  And, John McLaughlin is way funnier. 

Long recap of the season.  You don't need me to write anything about this. 

Sheila was a major league beeyotch early in the season.  I liked Parker, although I feel like I should have hated him. 

It's packed outside the front door where Julie hosts her little heart out. 

Throughout the finale, America can vote for their favorite juror - the winner gets a cool 25 grand. 

Sheila arrives at the jury house.  The jurors are happy to see her.  Sheila thinks that Adam threw the final competition, just so Ryan could do his dirty work.  Wow, she is wrong and bitter and dumb. The jurors have a roundtable discussion regarding the merits of Ryan and Adam.  This discussion goes on forever...

And then a commercial.

Jury Question Time.

Matt asks Adam what he'll do with the money if he wins. He says 100 grand will go to a after school program for kids - he wants to help children and help lives.  Ryan says that he'd do some nice things for his mom, for Jen, maybe put some towards charity. 

Sharon asks Ryan why he fed her so many lies, and took her.  Ryan says that he only got rid of her because Adam convinced him at the last second.  Chelsia asks Ryan why he would help Jen when she called him a racist.  Stupid question, he still loves Jen.  Joshuah asks Adam why he threw so many comps and why, then, he should vote for him.  He says he didn't throw that last competition, and that the game's not all about competitions.  James asks Adam why he's a better competitor than Ryan.  He says that he turned a bad early situation and turned it into a positive. 

Natalie asks Adam why he didn't take her to the final three.  He says that the HoH winners had some say, and that he did what he had to do.  She asks Ryan why he didn't keep her around - Ryan rambles. 

Sheila asks Adam why he lied to her face about taking her to the end of the game.  Adam says he had to do what he had to do to get both of them to the final three.  Adam is flustered.  Ryan says he did things in the game that he's not proud of.  He is mostly proud of what he's done and he's happy to get as far as he did.  Adam says he gained things from everybody, and that he played a well-balanced game. 

Joshuah is angry with Adam - thinks he's being cocky.  I kind of hate Chelsia these days. 

The jury arrives to the front door, introduced by Julie Chen.

Time for the Jury votes. 

The whole jury puts their keys in secretively after they make a brief statement.  Sheila is stupid. 

Next, it's time for the jury to find out stuff that they may not know - also, the other six evicted houseguests show up.

Jen's rocking some mad cleavage. Not too shabby. It looks like they're going to throw Matt under the bus here with some clips. 

Time for the finale results:

Matt votes for Adam.

Natalie votes for Adam.

Joshuah votes for Ryan.

Sharon votes for Adam.

Sheila votes for Adam.

ADAM WINS BIG BROTHER 9.
