I thought Ryan had the edge. Despite Ryan's botched beginnings — spurred along by his girlfriend, Jen — watching the last few weeks of Big Brother 9 one must concede that Ryan held the upper hand when it came to game control and strategy. He had his embedded micro-plans and he masterfully kept to them — playing all sides simultaneously: Joshuah, Natalie, Sharon, Sheila, Adam, even James — almost effortlessly. He won many of the competitions with equal flair. (Full Story)

Big Brother 9: The Massive Power Shift To King Ryan (More)
"Why did you guys do this to me?" Natalie gasped repeatedly and painfully. The "boys" weren't saying much and Sheila was looking on smugly. Adam attempted to console Natalie more than the others — hugs! — even going so far as to silently mouth the words, "I voted for you" to her while still sitting on the couch. He remained the good Christian. (Full Story)

Big Brother 9: Sheila Gets Big Head And Decks Natalie (More)
Sheila reminds me of a strung-out waitress at a sloppy joe diner. Talking, yelling, she croaks like Popeye. Give her a corncob pipe and a wooden leg. She has the testosterone of a dozen men coursing through her glands. Is she a model or a thug from the Chinese Paramilitary doing Olympic Torch duty? (Full Story)

Interview With Free Spirited David From The Real World: Hollywood (More)
Tonight the shit hits the fan when seven strangers move into The Real World: Hollywood house. Sure to be filled with lots of drama and many memorable moments The Real World: Hollywood is a season not to be missed. It all starts tonight at 10 PM ET/PT on MTV. We recently caught up with Dave and asked him about everything from why he applied to be on The Real World, to what he is doing now. (Full Story)
Seven strangers, in Hollywood, one house, alcohol, raging hormones, big personalities, and even bigger drama (how’s that for a synopsis?). Tomorrow night (April 16) all of it combines when The Real World: Hollywood premieres on MTV at 10 PM ET/PT. If you’re like me, I couldn’t wait for the premiere. I recently caught up with Sarah and asked her about everything, from her Hollywood experience, to what she thinks about her now former roommates. (Full Story)
Adam is a sensitive guy. He's not a Prince Charming and rather more like the frog, but his heart is as big as the moon. You can tell he feels for people. One can guess that growing up with that awkwardly rugged mug of his, and those growing deer-in-the-headlights eyes, ah, he must have been the brunt of a few blunt chards of childish ridicule.

Big Brother 9: James: The Mohawk, The Tattoo, The Tears... (More)
It's easy to find James annoying because frankly he's annoying to look at. It isn't only his mohawk or the fact that he's dyed his meager strip of hair red, or pink, but it's mostly that bow tie tattoo that he's etched just below his clavicle that makes my skin crawl. Each time I see it I squirm. (Full Story)

Big Brother 9: Super-Natalie To The Rescue! (More)
A couple of weeks back I was about to fade into a deep slumber...Big Brother 9 was proving a bit tedious with their couples launch — it was beginning to feel like I was eavesdropping on a bunch of married bores in suburbia — and no one was strategically proving themselves worthy of my rapt attention. There was the obligatory spillage of big breasts and such...but somehow, someway, even that wasn't enough. (Full Story)

Big Brother 9: Joshuah Is Straight; Matt Is Gay? (More)
A sensationalistic title?! It is a little strong, a little too literal...But it is patently ironic that we recently witnessed the gay Joshua happily enshrouding his new female partner, Sharon, in a manly protective cocoon. And, on the other hand, seeing the uber-heterosexual Matt get misty-eyed and pouty when his buddy Alex was booted out; giving him a soft peck on the neck and broadcasting to Julie and America that, "I love you, Alex." It was heartbreaking! (Full Story)

Big Brother 9: Lesbians, Bibles and Poor Adam (More)
The "soulmate" concept worked for about twenty minutes. As soon as Adam and Sheila became hitched — and Sheila began her croaking and gagging — it was obvious something was broken. The thrill of the first few moments of bright lights and television production for a cast of youthful peacocks "looking for love" and who were then supposedly thrown together with their dream sidekicks was a potentially titillating nuance in the Big Brother playbook.
