Big Brother 9: Finale Recap

oscardahl · 04-27-2008, 11:43 AM

Big Brother 9 is over. I feel like a gigantic orangutan has leaped off my back. Not to pile on about Big Brother 9, but there is a certain viewer fatigue that sets in once you realize that none of your favorite house guests will win the half million dollars. What this season lacked (for me, at least) was a clear protagonist and antagonist. Everyone was sort of in the middle. Either they were vaguely likable, or they were forgettably evil. Mostly, they were just people being themselves, which is the problem. The best characters in Big Brother history were just that – characters. They put on a specific persona outside of who they actually are (think Dr. Will and Evel Dick). Tonight's finale was a typical affair, mostly devoid of unnecessary filler.

i think he will give some of his money to charity because if he doesnt everyone will know about it and that would make him look bad and i dont think he will like that

I hope he does follow through. But a hundred grand? When he will only really see about $270 after taxes. AND he wants to help his mom. I don't think his charity is going to get near that much (if any) out of him.

Yeah, good for both of those guys. Now I jsut feel sorry for James having to field all those pesky gay porn questions.

I don't it's going to be fun (sorry James fans)

I think this was the most bitter sour grapes jury ever in Big Brother. What a bunch of whiners. Except Matt and James.

I was hoping the 25 grand would go to Sheila! I'm glad that James won too! I wasn't crazy about Adam but i guess that Ryan pissed off more people than he did. What i want to know is who was the final couple that Julie referred too that was still in the house?

I am soooooooo glad James won some money! He was more fun to watch then anyone in this season. (when they said 2nd place was Sheila the look on her face was great...lost again!) The look on the faces of the Jury, when Shelia said she knew they would have all voted for her was priceless. I am glad Adam won over Ryan. I think they should have shown all the ranting that the Jury really did. It would have made it more interesting then the constant recaps. Thank God this season is over! Let's hope they do a better job casting the next group!
