This man is about to win $500,000

At least that's my prediction.

It's A-Baller (the freaky buggy-eyed juice-box-drinking baby-food-skarfing cartoon character of a human pictured here) versus Rye Bread in the finals of Big Brother 9. I guess you had to have a gay nickname to make the finals this year. My stripper name is "Cream Puff" so hopefully I'll make next season's cast.

Find out who wins the big bank Sunday night on CBS.

PS -- Couldn't be happier about the final two!

Big Brother 9 Random Thought

Hey Natalie. If you mention that you're from "The Beaver State" one more time, I'm going to file a motion to have Oregon removed from the Union.

Thank you.

Big Brother 9 contestant Amanda faints and has a seizure on camera

Wow. These videos are disturbing (and the language is foul as a warning).
On the show Big Brother, contestants who lose certain challenges have to go on the "slop diet." Who knows what the hell the stuff is... but it isn't good. It looks like chunky dry oatmeal but I have no idea what it really is.

Amanda was put on the diet on Thursday. She is hypoglycemic. From Wikipedia:

Hypoglycemia (hypoglycaemia in British English) is the medical term for a pathologic state produced by a lower than normal level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. The term hypoglycemia literally means "under-sweet blood" (Gr. hypo-, glykys, haima). Hypoglycemia can produce a variety of symptoms and effects but the principal problems arise from an inadequate supply of glucose as fuel to the brain, resulting in impairment of function (neuroglycopenia). Derangements of function can range from vaguely "feeling bad" to coma and (rarely) permanent brain damage or death. Hypoglycemia can arise from many causes and can occur at any age.

Here are the two videos from the house "live feed." Both videos are from yesterday.

In the first Amanda is talking to another houseguest about feeling bad and needing sugar. She was complaining about not being let into "the diary room" to ask for something to feel better. Then she collapses.

In the second video (which is VERY disturbing) you can see her having what appears to be a seizure.





I hope she's OK. She's been off the live feeds for a while but is still in the house.

There is also word that Allison (another houseguest) has been taken to the hospital for a seperate incident. Rumored to be an allergic reaction to peanuts -- she's back in the house too. A second possibility is that someone slipped something into her slop. Producers are rumored to be doing tests on the slop to determine if it was tampered with. DRAMA!!!
From all indications (and due to this season's lackluster ratings) this could be the last season of Big Brother.

Big Brother 9 - Episode 1

The first episode of Big Brother 9 aired tonight.

This could be the best season of Big Brother ever.

So much to recap. Let's go! First up... let's meet all the contestants!

ALEX - DJ Company Owner - 24 years old. First Impression: I like him.

SHEILA - Former Model - 45 years old. First Impression: Biggest beeotch on the show (so far) - just annoying to watch.

NATALIE - Bikini Barista that loves God - ?? years old. First Impression: Not much. Indifferent. Kind of weird maybe.

JACOB - Electrician - 23 years old. First Impression: OK guy. Made a mistake.

CHELSIA - College Student - ?? years old. First Impression: Seems like a cool girl.

PARKER - Paparazzo - ?? years old. First Impression: Seems like a smooth sleazebag to me.

AMANDA - Paralegal "High Maintenance" - ?? years old. First Impression: A little to quick to call her "soulmate" "BABE" but besides that I like her so far.

JEN - Bartender - 26 years old. First Impression: I kind of like her, but I feel bad for her and her boyfriend.

JAMES - Homeless Guy Biking the World - ?? years old. First Impression: My favorite guy so far. He's weird. But cool.

NEIL - Realtor - ?? years old. First Impression: Zzz... Boring.

JOSHUAH - Advertising Media Buyer - ?? years old. First Impresson: Not too much so far. Comme ci comme ca.

RYAN - College Student - ?? years old. First Impression: Sweaty Bastard.

SHARON - Realtor - 23 years old. First Impression: Cool girl, til you get her pissed.

ALLISON (Boston) - Therapeutic Sales Rep - ?? years old. First Impression: From Boston? Reformed Gambling Addict? LOVE HER!!!

MATT (Boston) - Roofing Foreman "Ladies love the biceps" - 23 years old. First Impression: He's a Boston guy so I gotta give him a pass here. I reserve judgement for now. He'll win us all over.

ADAM - Public Relations Manager - 29 years old. First Impression: Human cartoon character. Put a girdle on your eyeballs!



Here's the Cliff's Notes recap of tonight:
This season's twist - Everyone (except for one couple) in the house is single.
The one couple that's together is a secret - JEN & RYAN (but they get split up)
Each house guest has been paired up with a "soul mate"
They will stay with that soul mate through everything
They will do challenges together
They will be evicted together (or win together)
And they will sleep together (in the same bed... not sexually... at least initially)
There's a second secret couple - JACOB & SHARON - they were together for like 12 years. He went overseas and cheated on her. He still loves her. She still hates him. (They end up being "soul mates" and have to work together for the season.)
Each week a new "power couple" will be crowned to rule the house and decide which couples are up for eviction


Here are a list of the "soul mates" for the season:
ALEX & AMANDA
CHELSIA & JAMES
NATALIE & (boston) MATT
PARKER & JEN (Jen is one of the 'still togethers')
NEIL & JOSHUAH
JACOB & SHARON (exes)
RYAN & ALLISON (boston) (Ryan is the other half of the 'still togethers')
SHEILA & ADAM (doomed - hate each other)


JACOB & SHARON won the first "Power Couple" competition and $10,000 for grabbing a pillow and holding onto it during the game. They'll pick couples to evict tomorrow.

That's it. Watch tomorrow's show (Wednesday). This looks like a good season and I'd love for us all to talk smack about it here. Plus I'm now on a mission to contact the show and to try to get myself in to bring better coverage here. We'll see what happens.

I won't post spoilers here though because I think spoilers blow and kind of ruin the show. So none of that. :)

So far I'm pulling for ALEX & AMANDA and CHELSIA & JAMES.

Did you watch???
