Big Brother 9 Cast Rundown and secret tales of the “Big Brother After Dark” Stripper Orgy Spit Swapping Pool Party (sorry that is not a spolier - it happened weeks ago and was never shown on the CBS show) Rant by Mike Liebner

I’m not sure if it was the “couples thing” or just a lame cast of hamsters, but this season of Big Brother has been a huge disappointment.

Something is wrong with the cast…

It’s not so bad that I will not watch it, but it’s been pretty much a drag and difficult to endure at times. Low energy and lacking of real fun and entertainment value.

Maybe now that they dumped the couples angle - and allowing them to compete as individuals - it will start to feel more like Big Brother than a spin off reality show.

I never did understand why a show that has a winning format with loyal fans feels the need to take a drastic departure. Hey it’s just not the same to see PAIRS of contestants play the game. Sure, I guess it could cause some extra drama and add new twists, which I am sure was their intention, but it also removes some of the factors that makes the show so special in the first place.

Now, I do admit that I am not in love with this cast. From the beginning I found most of them to be annoying and I can’t honestly say that I am liking or rooting for any one of them.

I guess that now would be as good as a time as ever to do a recap of the guests and my takes on them…

Alex - seemed ok, but he was really boxed in by playing with his partner Amanda. He got voted off with her and then recently America almost voted him back on. Almost did not get along with Amanda - then again who could?

Amanda - “almost cute” in a quirky way, but she had a very annoying personality. This season, the gals were so bland that you had to root for the almost hot ones such as Amanda. She was “amost cute” but slightly light bulb shaped with a pbag… you know… she was almost hot like “last call” at 2 am in a bar cute… sorry! But that’s how it seems this season on Big Brother. No standout knockouts… and Amanda was fun to wath but not a hot babe.

Ryan - Slightly pudgy and definitely bland personality wise, it never seemed like Ryan and secret real life girlfriend Jen (who was evicted early on) belonged together. She was too hot for him (then again he gave a good massage I guess). As it turns out Ryan has stayed in the game longer than expected and he is the closest to being some one I would root for, but last week he made a few bad calls and bowed down to group pressure. I think he’ll be out very soon.

Allison - Ryan’s playing partner on Big Brother knew that he had a girlfriend. This made it awkward for them as partners. Allison also made a really stupid move early on pretending she was a lesbian and a secret partner with Sheila. Bad strategy… How could you respect a player that would make a bad joke and then play it up as strategy… Not very samrt… Lacking in the brains department… Yet Allison was also almost hot - and actually was the hottest in the house in my opinion. Yes - I’ll say it - she was the most attractive of the girls. But looks can only take you so far… She had an annoying personality. I don’t think I could handle much of her manipulating and scheming in real life and it seemed I was not the only one to think that as she got booted - even when they gave the house a second chance to evict either her or Ryan. I must say though - I did feel sorry for her when she did get evicted. She went for a shrieking screaming high when she got a 2nd chance to possibly the lowest of lows when she got sent packing in a matter of minutes… Wicked and mean Big Brother… Her sadness was so deep I could almost feel it and it made me want to hug her and tell her everything would be just fine and then have some “make up sex” afterwards.

James - there is something about James that makes me feel queesy… I’m not sure if I like him or not… I don’t hate him, but something is odd about him… He almost has it, but then again he is slightly too weird to identify with. I don’t know if you saw the Showtime Too Big Brother After Dark footage of that orgy after stripper pool party where they had a strip club stripper lap dance party featuring Natlaie and Chelsea going nude and grinding nation wide, but James joined in and got naked on tv too and and was also making out with all the girls in the pool. I’m not holding that against James, I’m just saying that maybe that has a little something to do with my feelings about him. Also he seems to be kind of a loner. I am glad he hooked up with Chelsea. But he never seemed confident that was real, or that is how it appeared.

Chelsia - James’ soulmate and partner Chelsia is also “almost hot”. She is pretty cute and if she wasn’t so smitten with James she may have had a better chance in the game. Now that they are split up I must admit I am waiting to see if Chelsia strays away from James. So far not. I guess I am rooting for her a little bit. It was nice to see her topless and grinding like a stripper on that After Dark strip party orgy footage a few weeks ago. Oddly enough - Big Brother producers so far have opted to keep that stag party off the regular episodes. It was just too hard core dirty I guess…

Jacob - the dude left early on so I can’t honestly say I know much about him except my initial impression is that he was a little wormy. But hey - that’s not based on much so I can’t say I really know him well enough to judge him.

Neil - he also left early on. He was one of the gay guys, right? Did not really leave much of an impression.

Matt - What can I say about “Mattie”? Well, I am probably not the only one… seing how Natalie worships him and does so many nice things for him, it is difficult to watch Matt be a macho jerk and treat her like shit. Head butting her or slamming her is hardly appropriate congratulations for someone that is so kind to him. Then throw in Matt’s arrogant demeanor and his cocky “New York” displays of being Mr. Tough guy and I can’t help but dislike him. I was really disappointed he did not get voted out when Ryan had the chance to get rid of him. He may be a good friend to have next to you when a bar room brawl breaks out, but other than that the guy would be trouble.

Natalie - Well… she is a sweet girl and also almost good looking, but as Matt points out correctly her big fake boobies aren’t exactly a turn on. She’s a little too fake for my taste but what I will say is that she is a kind giving person and that says a lot. I also like that she is creative. I feel sympathy for her because of her blind love for Matt who abuses her friendship. If you saw her perform in the stripper footage on Showtime After Dark, I think you too may have that etched in your mind as I do. She was a wild and crazy stripper who showed her tits along with Chelsea, rather, she rubbed her tits on all the girls and guys in the Big Brother house. Man, that was some wild footage. It was a two hour plus strip party orgy almost! As mentioned earlier, no mention of that footage on the regular tv show. Too nasty for CBS I guess.

Joshuah - the mean spirited guy who loves to prance around and be a feather duster gay boy waking up people in the house and puts dust on the beds of folks he hates. He is a hater. The guy has a mean evil spirit that can be seen a mile away. He is simply an asshole and trouble. The kind of guy that would key a car and laugh about it. If I saw him in real life I’d make sure he wasn’t close enough to let any of his bad karma flow in my direction. Jerk! Bad karma!

Sharon - Kind of bland. She looks awful without makeup, but actually fixes up pretty good when she puts some effort into how she looks. Oddly enough many of the guys in the house seem to like to be making out with her. She got her share of tongue at the stripper orgy in the swimming pool with many of the guys. James and Mattie were tongue spitting down her throat… It was a rotating tongue spit germ swapping party and Sharon got a lot of tastes in her mouth. Suprising as she comes off as kind of shy. But she took the tongues and seemed to like it.

Side note… Oddly enough - Sheila, Allison and Amanda were the only ones NOT Involved in the Stripper Orgy Spit Swapping After Party in the pool. The gals peeked out of the house and watched in horror - no spit swapped for those 3 girls.

Adam - the guy with the funny eyes. Odd as it seemed Adam and Sheila (couple) would be the first to go. They have lasted. His partner Sheila has been dumping on him since day one and we’ve seen that Adam is a very nice and thoughtful guy. Sure he said the word “retard” in public but hey - that’s just a word - it doesn’t mean he is as bad as Sheila wanted to make him look.

Sheila - what a train wreck. Trouble with a capital T! If she looked half ways decent I might cut her some slack on what a bitch she is - since she has a PEAR shaped flabby body and is ugly and old looking - sorry - I can’t spare from shaming her for her self serving mean spirited beahavior. What a bitch! It’s all about me - her - self interested - me me ME!!!! Early on she dumped on Adam so much it was a broken record. Poor guy. Then she turned on Allison and it seems that these severe mood swings are typical of the old wrinkly Sheila. And she acted like she was the wise Mom. Sorry - but a woman like that doesn’t deserve to be close to any kids - she’d screw them up good!

Parker - of the couple Parker and Jen. Sorry, but the guy was a dick. Glad he went. Too bad he dragged Jen down with him. He too seemed to only care about himself. Conceited and arrogant - the guy was a real jerk most of the time I saw him on the show. Sure, he had his kinder moments, but that does not make up for the way he treated the others in the house.

Jen - the hottest best looking chick in the house gets voted off the soonest… I am not suprised. Hot chicks always seem to get voted off quick. Why is that? In this case it was because of Parker and Ryan (her secret boyfriend). Parker couldn’t take it that his “soulmate” had a boyfriend. So he screwed themselves over by bullying the house instead of hiding it and keeping quiet. So Jen suffered, but to be honest - Big Brother is not served well when there are secret relationships. It seems to disctract form allowing us to identify with the guests. That’s exactly what happened with Jen. She was also kind of dumb and didn’t herself much in the game.

I’d be really happy if some day in the future we get a Big Brother cast like they used to make ‘em - with nice looking normal people who did not know each other. Bring back the old BB and fire whoever did the casting this season. They screwed up a perfectly good tv show.
