Sharon Obermueller and Jacob Gregg Heald's relationship became one of the twists that intrigued viewers of Big Brother 9.  Sharon joined the CBS reality series in attempt to move on with her life after her failed relationship with Jacob only to find her ex-boyfriend as one of the housemates who she would have to endure and live with supposedly for three months.  Despite the apprehension, she decided to face the competition head-on.

“Yes, it was very difficult and I felt like I had the hardest situation than anyone else in the house because of how much he hurt me.  Of course, it ran through my mind to hit the panic button, but I'm a Marine brat.  You never quit or give up.  It's not in your blood,” Sharon told Realityshack.com of how awkward it was to learn that Jacob was also cast on Big Brother.

Although Sharon was paired with Jacob as her “soulmate,” her torment was short-lived as they were the first pair to be evicted from the house on Day 3.  Luckily, Sharon was given the opportunity to return to the game as she got paired with Joshuah, whom she developed a close friendship with.

At present, however, the tension between Sharon and Jacob has started to thaw.  And while they have not exactly gotten back together, they seem to be on the road to patch things up.

“Jacob and I are trying to be civil and work on things because of the animals, furniture, history, etc.  He said being stuck in sequester really changed him and he was going to prove it to me.  I will believe it when I see it, but I have to say that he did get all the bills paid and taken care of while I was gone so that was a good start.  Plus, he offered my dad his friend pass to bring to the finale because he knew my mom was coming and he knows how important my family is to me.  They wouldn't let Jacob because that would be two guests for me but it was the thought that counted,” she revealed.
