Big Brother 10: Brian Evicted/Jessie is New HOH
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, Gossip, News,
He flew too close to the sun and got burned. Brian, the former Air Force crew chief from San Francisco, talked himself right out of the Big Brother 10 house. He wasn’t even nominated originally.
Jerry, the Head of Household, put Renny and Jessie up for nomination, but Jessie won the Power of Veto. This coincided with increasing suspicion of Brian’s attempts to control other house guests and tell them how to vote. At one point, Brian suggested he was “pulling all the strings” in the house. He’d originally formed an alliance with Dan and Ollie. But Ollie has formed a stronger alliance (like the physical kind) with April and April didn’t like Brian so Ollie turned on him.

Big Brother 10: Grandpa Got Game
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, News,
Maybe there is hope for presumed Republican presidential nominee John McCain yet? Right now the hottest guy on Big Brother 10 right now is a muscle-shirt wearin’, gravelly voice talkin’ ex-Marine who just happens to be a 75-year-old great-grandfather.
The new season of CBS’ perennial fish-bowl reality show is proving that old doesn’t mean obsolete. In the premiere episode of Big Brother 10 Jerry, the oldest person to every compete on the show, not only became Head of Household but also copped a feel of one of the hottest girls in this season’s cast. (Before his wife of 54 years has a heart attack that girl, April, sort of forced Jerry to do it.) Still, it was a good strategic move for the Magnolia,Texas retiree. In that instant you could see his fellow house guests quickly shift their concept of Jerry from Depends and defibrillators to babes and booze.

Big Brother 9: Joshuah and James Nominated For Eviction
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, Features, News,
God-loving, bikini and knee sock wearing Natalie is getting her smiley-faced revenge on Big Brother 9 house mates who plotted to oust her “soul mate” Matt. Last night Natalie, the Head of Household, nominated Joshuah and James for eviction. Surprisingly enough it was Joshuah’s first nomination, not bad considering how conniving and cruel he has been in the house thus far.
The show began with Natalie basking in the glory of her HOH win. She credited God and a kooky reliance on lucky numbers. Joshuah was shocked and embarrassed that Natalie beat him in a “mental” competition. Sheila hoped Natalie’s HOH win would bring her closure and vengeance for Matt’s eviction. Adam took Natalie’s win as a sign that there may really be a God, one who favors dim-witted bikini barista/slash carnival artists from The Beaver State.

Checking into the Big Brother House: Chelsia Gets the Boot
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, Features, News,
It has been a couple of weeks since I’ve written about Big Brother 9. While I’ve watched most of the episodes in between then and now, I have to say it was getting to be a bit like my on-again, off-again relationship with the soap opera One Life to Live. I’ve missed years at a time and still know exactly what the storyline is.
A quick recap of the past few weeks: James was voted out then quickly voted back in when the house guests were given the chance to either bring back a mystery house guest (Alex) who had already been evicted or bring back James. In an odd turn of logic, even some of the guests who gave James the boot voted him back in within a few minutes. (I think they feared the mystery guest was either super-annoying Amanda or super-annoying Jen.)
Once James got back in the house, he and Chelsia began a reign of terror that ended with Boston roofer Matt evicted and his former “soul mate” daft Oregon bikini barista Natalie vowing revenge. Later, under-the-radar king Adam won Head of Household. He nominated Chelsia and James for eviction but James later won the Power of Veto and saved himself. Adam then put Sharon up as a pawn next to Chelsia bringing us to tonight’s eviction: Chelsia is out.

Big Brother 9: Ryan Nominates Two For Eviction
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, News,
Mr. Nice Guy Ryan finds himself holding all the cards in the Big Brother 9 house, at least for a couple of days.
Last night, the 27-year-old college student from Ohio nominated first-timer Chelsia and previously evicted, then resurrected Sharon for eviction this coming Wednesday.
That was about the only interesting revelation in this particular episode. Again, I question why this show needs to be on three nights a week. Surely, with the writer’s strike over CBS could come up with something better for their prime-time line-up?

Big Brother 9 Shocker: Allison Evicted, Ryan Now Head of Household
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Showtime, Editorial, News,
Just when it looked like this painful season of Big Brother 9 would dwindle away into ratings obscurity, the game got a major jolt of energy tonight: There will be no more couples. It is now every man and woman for themselves.
The big headline of the night is that Allison was evicted and Ryan, her former partner, is now Head of Household. We were told yesterday that the house guests were to expect to hear a siren sometime today. When that siren went off, all of the house guests were to rush to the living room to hear the “important game-changing announcement.” Tonight, that siren went off just after Allison and Ryan were evicted as a couple. In the end, Allison, the drug company salesperson from Boston, went home and Ryan is now in charge of the house. We also learned that America gets to vote on which already evicted house guest (Jacob, Jen, Parker, Amanda, Alex or Allison) will get a second chance in the Big Brother house. You can vote for that as we speak on CBS.com.

Big Brother 9: Allison, Ryan, Natalie and Matt Nominated For Eviction
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, News,
The theme of Big Brother 9 tonight is that “mean people suck” - and by people, I mean Joshuah. The Texas media buyer unleashed his seemingly bottomless fury on yet another woman in the house; this time it was Allison, the pharmaceutical representative from Boston.
First though, lets begin with the only real headline from the show: Head of Household couple Sharon and Joshua nominated couples Allison and Ryan and Natalie and Matt to be evicted. The actual eviction will happen live during Wednesday night’s BB9. The house also competed and won everything but carbohydrates in the food competition.
Now back to the beginning. Tonight’s episode began with Joshuah explaining why he was so hurt personally by Allison and Sheila’s plot to convince other house guests that they were a lesbian couple with an adopted son. The two women only told Joshuah and Chelsia. They kept the ruse up for about 10 days until they decided the lie wasn’t going to give them any advantages in the game and they came clean. At the time, Joshuah just seemed confused. Now we learn his anger over their outrageous lie has been festering for days.

Big Brother 9: Amanda and Alex Evicted
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, News,
Time to bid a fond, or perhaps relieved, farewell to Alex and Amanda. By a unanimous vote the DJ from New York and the paralegal from Minnesota were kicked out of the Big Brother 9 house. The other big headline from tonight’s live show was that Sharon and Joshuah won Head of Household by being the only couple to think ahead and read all of those annoying love quotes the BB9 cameras are always panning to and from.
The show began with a recap of Allison and Amanda’s dramatic medical emergencies last Friday. Allison had a severe allergic reaction and Amanda collapsed nearly simultaneously from an unrelated blood sugar condition. Both women went to the hospital as a precaution but are now fine. Amanda’s scare may have even helped her stock in the house, albeit briefly. It seems like the other house guests were more tolerant of her Betty Boop voice, penchant for gossip and disastrously inappropriate clothes after they thought she might die or at least go home prematurely.

Big Brother 9 Day 15: Inexplicable Jericho Tie-In
Posted by Jacci Lewis Categories: Prime Time, Reality, CBS, Editorial, News,
My Big Brother 9 thought of the night is that only on CBS could they figure out a way to cross-promote a drama about post-apocalyptic America (Jericho) on a trash reality show about being stuck in figurative purgatory with amoral people you can’t stand and who are probably out to get you. Then again, maybe that is what post-apocalyptic America will be like? Hmmmnm, maybe we’re in post-apocalyptic America right now?
Anyway, the headlines from Big Brother 9 Day 15 are:
- Sharon and Joshuah won “power of veto” but chose not to use it to save either Amanda and Alex or Natalie and Matt.
- Both Allison and Amanda became ill at the same time and had to go to the hospital though not for the same reasons.
- Sheila just might be crazy.
- The women are stuck in bikinis for a week while the men get to wear regular clothes.
- Amanda just might be a Republican who endorses GOP presidential nominee front runner John McCain.
The show began with Amanda, the paralegal from Fridley, Minnesota, saying she isn’t surprised James and Chelsia nominated her and Alex for eviction because they are by far the strongest competitors. Alex believes everything is Amanda’s fault and that she is the only reason he was put up on the chopping block. Amanda tried to reach out to Alex saying he should keep a positive attitude. Alex basically told her to get lost and that she is the only one he is mad at.

Big Brother 9: Alex, Amanda, Natalie and Matt Nominated For Eviction

Watching the free version of CBS’ Big Brother 9 versus the subscription-based 24/7 live feeds is a little like my ongoing attempt to catch up on all the episodes of Lost I’ve missed over the years. There are so many things that have happened that I don’t understand. Is it a flashback, a flash-forward, present time—and what the hell happened to Walt? I’m SO confused!
If it weren’t for YouTube providing the really exciting clips of stuff that happens in the BB9 house, I’d be totally in the dark because the CBS episodes that air 3 times a week rarely include any of the good stuff in a timely manner.
Anyway, tonight’s episode saw Head of Household couple Chelsia and James nominate Alex and Amanda and Natalie and Matt for eviction. Alex and Amanda are the real target, Natalie and Matt are said to be the pawns. Also, Sheila and Allison came clean about the lie they told on Day 3 that they’re a lesbian couple and half the house ended up eating slop after a food competition.
