Big Brother 9

***Big Brother 9*** is the ninth season of *JRZ Big Brother*. It featured eighteen one-time, non-winner houseguests returning for a second shot at the game. Everyone came in to play hard and it showed in this 54 day power struggle. The season concluded when Ryan defeated Dandrew in a 9-0 vote. Ryan became the first houseguest to win unanimously.

This season had its moments but was mostly seen as a drag for lasting too long and for the BB8 alum dominating most of the season.

## Production

As usual, Rob privately invited players to participate in the season. However, some of those invitees declined the offer. *Big Brother 1* houseguests Britney, Matt, Gavin, and Nick were invited but did not participate in the season. Britney declined the offer, Matt did not respond to the invitation in time, and both Gavin and Nick backed out last minute. *Big Brother 2* alumni Alyssa and Franco were both invited, but declined, stating they did not want to play. Ryan from *Big Brother 4* also declined to play, as well as Demi and John Nitro from *Big Brother 7*. The final contestant to decline to play was Jeeven from *Big Brother 8*.

## Game History

### Week 1

 **HOH**

 **POV**

 **Nominee2 Votes**

 **Evicted13 Votes**

The game opened up with 18 returning contestants playing for their second chance. The BB Bug Infection challenge started everyone off and during this time, Adam & Michael paired up with Amelia & Ryan in order to secure who would win the infection HOH as well as align with one another in general. Marcell tried to win so he could secure a majority for himself moving forward. Marcell was successful and he nominated Calvin and Matt for being considered the inactive players. Meanwhile, Banner was on the search to find a number one ally and had trouble deciding between Michael and Tucker. Michael was bonding a lot with his other housemates. He started many alliances with different groups of people. Pete flirted with all of the men in the house. When it was time to pick players for POV, Calvin drew players choice and instead of choosing his in real life friends like TJ or Vinny or even his ally, Dandrew, he chose Pory. In the house chat. Pory asked Calvin to play and Calvin said "ok sure". TJ luckily was able to play as well, though he was unable to win. Calvin never made any deals with Pory, so when Pory won the POV, he did not want to use it and rock the boat. Dandrew, TJ, and Vinny went to work trying to campaign for Calvin to stay in the game. Ryan also wanted Calvin to stay, though only because he hated Matt for some pregame reasons. Ryan was hoping his best friend from BB8, Amelia, would have his back but she sided with Michael in that Calvin needed to be evicted. Ollie found himself in the middle of the Save-Calvin crew and the Anti-Calvin crew but chose to side with the majority. Ultimately, Calvin just did not do a good enough job campaigning and he was evicted 13-2. Only Dandrew & TJ voted to save Calvin

### Week 2

 **POV**

 **Evicted14 Votes**

Ryan won HOH and continued his tirade against Matt for pre-existing drama. He nominated Matt next to Tucker and in his speech said "I want Matt gone, Tucker is the pawn". Matt chose Pory to play for a houseguest choice for Veto, though, he did not make any deals in order to secure his safety. Marcell was concerned with having Ryan as an ally since Ryan was seen as an erratic player. Vinny continued his plan of laying low to drop the "comp beast" stigma while Pory did the complete opposite, playing right into his "comp beast" stigma. Pory won the POV and did not use it. Tucker secured all the votes which was easy because Matt had basically been drawing dead all week. During this time, Edge and Pete really start to bond, to a point where they begin comparing game notes. They realized they are both part of majority alliances spearheaded by Pory. With the trust they had in one another, they planned to leak the info from each to each other in order to make the plans go their way in the future. Matt was unanimously evicted.

Vinny won HOH and in the early hours of his reign, Pete started stirring up trouble. He went around exposing a day 1 alliance consisting of Pory, Michael, Edge, Marcell, and a few others. This information got back to Pory, who was pissed off that Pete would do that. Somewhere through the telephone, it got murky and people were unsure if it was spread by Pete or Edge. Regardless, Vinny nominated Adam and Dandrew because he claimed they were inactive. Adam went on the offensive and called out Vinny for the nomination. He got to work trying to secure votes meanwhile Dandrew went on to win the POV and take himself down. At this point, Vinny was unsure what he wanted to do but Banner got in his ear and pushed for a Pory renom citing that this is the first time in the season that he was not immune. Vinny took the bait and put up Pory, with some backlash though. People did not plan to take down Pory but after Pory completely freaked out and harassed Vinny, people were leaning more towards wanting Pory gone. Pory made up a bunch of alliances that didn't actually exist just to try to put the target on some other people. One of them gotmade, but due to a production error, it got seen by other houseguests and died immediately. Some of the other players started getting alliance trigger happy and started making alliances filled with all houseguests except Pory, Michael, Jericho, Vinny, and Pete. What could have been taken seriously was not due to the fact that the alliances all got memed. Pory continued to be pissed off and saying he did not care about the game so people felt compelled to keep Adam. Amelia, Banner, and TJ voted to keep Pory in to stir things up but ultimately Pory was voted out.

During the previous week, TJ had gone to Vinny to tell him he believed Ollie was working against him. Vinny told this information to Ollie. Ollie then won the HOH and put up Edge & TJ, targeting TJ. He used the excuse that they were quiet in the house. The POV came and went and Tucker won it. He tried to convince Ollie that he should backdoor Dandrew. Ollie refused as he was somewhat close to Dandrew and really wanted TJ out. He told Tucker that Winter would be the new nominee, forcing Tucker to not use the POV. Side not, Amelia and Vinny made a secret final 2 pact. Ollie started spilling a lot of tea to Marcell for an unknown reason. He was saying that Adam leaked information to Pete who leaked it to Ollie about “another side of the house” consisting of Adam, Dandrew, Jericho, Michael and TJ. Meanwhile, TJ, realized he was the target so he got to work trying to get people to flip their votes. He tried to make a deal with Ollie that TJ wouldn't touch him if he won an HOH. Ollie tried to flip the votes on to Edge but no one was interested in that plan. TJ was sent packing unanimously..

Amelia accidentally won HOH. She started the week off by telling everyone that Dandrew and Tucker would be nominees because they were inactive. Dandrew came to Amelia though and clears the air with her but she was too deep in not to noiminate him. She did end up nominating Dandrew and Tucker with Tucker as the target because she feared a BB5+Tucker alliance. She had Pete as a renom since he wasn't allied with her but she still wanted Tucker gone. Michael won the POV and he teamed up with Amelia in order to use it to save Dandrew. Whilst doing this, Michael told Tucker that Amelia was targeting him though. Amelia was going to change her mind about targeting Pete but Marcell convinced her otherwise. They had a heart to heart and knew one of the BB5s had to leave. Ollie and Vinny were not happy about the move but understood it and weren't mad. Banner was secretly happy with this move since he knew Pete would come for him. After she nominated Pete, he went hard on a campaign trail but everyone wanted him out for being part of BB5. He was evicted in 14th.

Jericho accidentally won HOH and was not very pleased about. Dandrew got to him right away trying to propose some type of alliance with him. Jericho asked Vinny to be a pawn but Vinny refused so he used Ollie instead. He used Ollie because of his obvious partnership with Vinny. Jericho nominated Edge since he was the only person Jericho wasn't aligned with. After making his nomations, Dandrew essentially ghosted Jericho, which Jericho saw right through. Dandrew said his plan is to play into the fact he’s inactive but actually be making deals and social connections with everyone. Vinny got chosen to play in veto and then won it. He took down Ollie. Jericho decides to take a risk and nominate Banner but still target Edge. He wanted to backdoor Vinny but couldn’t since Vinny won the POV. Banner was upset but he knew he needed to keep cool. Banner made a deal with Dandrew who then pulled in Michael and they all formed an alliance. Edge was somewhat inactive due to personal reasons and so Jericho got his wish. Edge was evicted unanimously.

Winter went on to accidentally win HOH and had no idea what she wanted to do other than protect BB8 and backdoor Vinny. She decided to nominate Marcell and Tucker for their time zones since she didn't get a lot of time to talk with them. Ryan admitted that Amelia had been leaking everything from her & Vinny’s final 2 to Ollie and the other BB8 players which of course Ollie told to Vincent. Vinny felt upset and betrayed and was certainly coming for BB8’s neck. Marcell pulled out a veto win to save himself and Winter followed suit with a Vinny nomination. Vinny was of course very cocky and pissed off. He tried to rally votes but he never exactly had a way with words. Luckily, his ally Ollie does and Ollie got to work. Meanwhile, Tucker created an alliance with everyone except BB8 called “BB8 is Steamrolling”. That plan backfired though as it just made everyone mad and got leaked to the BB8 players. Ryan admitted to wanting to target Vinny but then changing his mind. The vote ultimately came down 5-4 to evict Tucker, making him the final prejuror.

Ollie won Head of Household and knew he wanted to take a shot at BB8. He put up Adam and Jericho since he felt like they were one in the same. They had a final 2 deal (which Ollie did not know) so Ollie made the right move in order to break them up. Ollie won the POV as well and decided to keep his nominations the same. He was very clear that he wanted Jericho gone for being part of BB8. His allies Banner, Marcell and Vinny all agreed. Banner made a deal with Marcell that they wouldn't flip flop their votes. Michael had been getting actively fed up with all of the BB8 dominance, so he sided with Banner and stuck to his guns and voted for Jericho. All the meanwhile, Amelia & Ryan were pushing hard for Jericho to stay. They did not even hide it. They managed to get into Ollie & Vinny's head enough where Vinny switched his vote, which eventually led to Marcell switching his as well. They did not tell anyone else though. Banner learned about it through Ryan, which left Banner feeling betrayed. Adam was blindsided 6-2.

Ryan won the HOH competition on accident and did not know what he wanted to do. He ended up making a final 2 deal with Vinny. He wanted to target Marcell because he felt Marcell had been “shading” him the past few weeks. Ryan told Ollie and Marcell that they were each the pawn in a bigger plan. He nominated them both, escalating the anti BB8 sentiment even more. Ollie went on to win the POV and save himself from the block. Ryan struggled as to who to nominate. Jericho suggested Michael, as no one seems to be threatened by him since he always throwing the competitions. Michael came up a bit as he suggested Ryan should backdoor Vinny at this cycle. Ryan told Vinny about this. Michael also suggested this plan to Ollie which Ollie told Vinny. Ultimately, Ryan nominated Banner as a pawn. Marcell was the target and everyone collectively took him out. Though Ollie and Vinny were upset, they did nothing about it to flip the votes. Marcell made a last minute plea to stay but it did nothing. He was evicted 6-1. Amelia being the one vote because she didn’t want Marcell leaving unanimously, which now put her on a few players radars now for playing everyone.

The HOH competition was Russian Roulette and Banner won it. Banner used his new powers as HOH to his advantage by making a deal with Ryan in order to get information about the BB8 alliance. All 4 members were trying very hard to ensure that two of them would not be nominated. Amelia sold out the alliance she had made with Jericho, Ollie, and Vinny. Banner no longer trusted those two as much as before but he was still set on eliminating a BB8 alliance member. He nominated Amelia and Jericho. Ryan won POV and used it on Amelia, he also sold out Winter while he was at it in order to keep Jericho safe. Jericho, after Winter was nominated, blew up in house chat and the other BB8s followed suit as they made fun of the other houseguests for being so overdramatic. Most importantly, they pointed out how Banner, Ollie and Vinny were likely working together as a BB5 alliance. Jericho did this because he suspected he would be evicted so he wanted to leave in a blaze of glory but he was more connected than Winter and Winter ended up leaving in a unanimous vote.

Jericho won HOH. He nominated Banner and Dandrew as “pawns” but really he was targeting Dandrew. Ryan won the POV though and, against Jericho’s wishes, used it on Dandrew. Dandrew suspected Ryan was going to drag him to the end. Jericho nominated Michael in order to keep his final 2 deal with Vinny afloat. It did show his cards though, as it is revealed that Michael had been playing with BB8 this whole time, pretending to throw them under the bus to Ollie & Vinny when in reality he was firmly a part of their alliance. Jericho became wary of Ryan for his closeness to Dandrew. Ollie & Vinny tried to push for Banner to stay but the BB8 players and Dandrew would not evict Michael. Amelia told Banner that it was because he nominated her but in reality it was due to her relationship with Michael. Banner made a deal with Ryan that if there was one vote to save him, Banner would cast his jury vote for Ryan. He also intended to uphold his Bounty of Banner deal. Meaning at this moment Jericho and Ryan would both have his jury vote. Banner was evicted 4-1.

Dandrew won the HOH and decided that he wanted to try and create a lot of drama in the house. Firstly, he told everyone else to spill their tea to him in order to keep them off the block. Then, his next step was to break up BB8 & BB5 by nominating Jericho & Vinny respectively. Ollie had made a deal with Dandrew to win the POV, take down Vinny and backdoor Amelia. Ollie was unable to win the POV and Jericho came out on top. Ollie told Amelia about Dandrew's plan. Amelia snapped on Dandrew and convinced him to nominate Ollie for snaking him and Dandrew followed suit. Ollie was nominated and called out everyone in the house.
