BB9’s Chelsia Interviews America’s Favorite BB10’s Keesha

Today Chelsia announced on her blog that she’ll be doing a interview with Big Brother 10’s Keesha. You’ll be able to view the interview live on Real Player’s Superpass, on Feed 4 @ 9/8c. That’s awesome for all the people who forgot to cancel their superpass subscription after BB10 finished, but for everyone else it kind of sucks. No need to worry, you can always sign up for superpass again or just wait until somebody puts the video up on YouTube. Although Chelsia did say she’d be announcing where she and Keesha would be later tonight in the interview and if you wait until the video is up on YouTube, chances are you won’t get to meet them this evening. But then again you if you aren’t in the area, their location wouldn’t matter much to you anyway.

Crazy James from BB 9 Talks To Reality Roll Call

Big Brother 9 fans remember Crazy James as a houseguest who was voted off the show, but voted back on by the houseguests, and went on to become a competitive force in the house. Although he didn’t win, he was voted by viewers as America’s favorite juror. Recently Reality Roll Call had a chance to talk to James and are fortunate to share it with our readers.

Faith: Crazy James I just want to thank you for giving us some time today.

James: No worries man, I know everything’s been crazy on your end and mine. So its good to be able to sit down and talk. What’s going on?

Faith: Nothing, what’s going on with you?

James: I just moved into my new place. I got a 10,000 sqaure foot loft in downtown LA. And I’m gonna be working here on some projects and also doing a lot of modeling and stuff like that with some photographers out here on the roof. And we’re also gonna be doing Sunday parties here too.

Faith: Wow. That sounds pretty cool. So, that’s a big difference from the whole plan to bike around the world. Do you still intend to get back to that?

James: Yeah, I’m working on a new tv show right now that incorporates that. And hopefully I can show people how to travel on no money to a larger audience than just the people I meet on the road.

Faith: I definitely need to learn how to do that. But otherwise what’s been going on?

James: I’ve been hanging out with Chelsia in L.A. We’re having our difficulties because everything in the house was manipulated to kind of structure a relationship between us. And now that we both have freedom is kind of hard to keep that same structured relationship. You know, you’re on the road and you’re just traveling so much. It’ll come together, and I’m not saying that I’m not gonna give it a try, but we’re just in two different places right now.

Faith: I can imagine it’s a little difficult.

James: Yeah definitely.

Faith: Do you feel like you’re getting to know her in a different way?

James: I think I’m staring to learn about people more; she’s a great person. I think I’m starting to learn more about myself too after the whole experience. And you kind of have to reflect. And not too many people get the opportunity to look at themselves for three months straight, then say, “Oh my God I did, this, this, and that.”

Faith: Yeah, that’s crazy. I guess it does lead to some introspection.

James: Yeah, it does it definitely offers experience, and the chances for introspection and growth. You know, you learn from your mistakes and go forward.

Faith: Have you actually gotten a chance watch the show?

James: I actually haven’t gotten a chance you look at ALL the shows. But you learn from it in the sense that you learn about yourself and how you interact with others. I feel that looking back that I was socially inept with some of the houseguests. I gotta be more open with people in the sense that I can’t shut people out because they have crooked views. Or that they’re just not good people; I have to embrace all of them.

Faith: It’s probably a little difficult when you’re put in that situation. In a normal situation you can just walk away and give yourself space. I imagine in that situation you’re just kind of RIGHT THERE.

James: Yeah you’re just right in the mix of everything.

Faith: In terms of the game: Last season I wrote a piece called, “Players Fatal Mistakes” where I gave my opinion of where I thought people made their mistakes (in the game). Looking back at your game, do you think you made any mistakes?

James: I think that I was just humanly genuine in that show, and you really can’t be. I don’t think I played the game inside the house as much as I should have. I played the game on the field, competition wise. I think I made the mistake of counting on my competition winning abilities more so than my winning people over. My personality is like, “I don’t really give a fuck.” You just have to walk on egg shells around these people. And you got me being naked, and slurring out the mouth with crazy ideas, and everyone’s a Christian in the house but me. So ya know, I’m gonna stand out. I’m loaded with tattoos and everyone else is kind of pretty Average Joe, and when you throw me into the mix its like, “WHAT THE FUCK!?!”

Faith: (laughs)…Well that kind of leads me to my next question. On last season’s show we had Evel Dick winning and you were extremely popular this season. Prior to that we had more middle America and apple pie type winners. What do you think it says about America now that we are going for edgier people?

James: I think that America pulls for edgier people because they are already outsiders. Right when I walked into that house I was the underdog, and the reason being that I stood out and I was an easy target. I think America connects with that because a lot of people that watch the show they feel the outsider feeling sometimes. That feeling that you got in high school when people made fun of you and that feeling when you were secluded and isolated. And that’s the same feeling that I went through and that Dick went through. People weren’t receptive to us. I think America loves to see the underdog win. And every week that I was winning those POV’s when they were trying to get me out, I think America really connected to that and were like “Yeah, fuck yeah, that kid rules!” I was absolutely shocked when I got out of the house and realized I had so many fans. It’s just ridiculous man.

Faith: It’s got to be crazy, because also in some ways they feel like the know you.

James: You know what? That’s the thing about reality TV; a lot of people manipulate how they act. Whereas I was just me, so when I walk out the house I’m the same dude that I was inside the house. I can’t say that about other cast members, but me more so because I was so open about my life. That it made me relate more to people on the outside world.

Faith: And that’s the thing: you were you. But to me the underdog is kind of a passive character and you were more “out there”. So, it’s kind of like you were an underdog, but not really…You ever consider yourself a renegade?

James: (laughs) Yeah it was kind of like a Mad Max movie. I was Mad Max battling all of these rouges on crazy operations. But I think I had a lot of power in the house and I think that’s kind of what sank my game too. People knew what I could do. When I came back out that box and I did the clean sweep that week I think people were like, “Holy shit!”

Faith: Yeah, I don’t think people were counting on that happening. Even though people feared you, you did hang in there. You were in there for quite some time.

James: Yeah, I lasted a month longer than I should have.(laughing)

Faith: It was very entertaining.

James: It showed me a lot about myself. I did end up breaking down in the house and I think that was very personable to people. Because it wasn’t because I was losing the game, it was because they were ganging up on me in a consistent way and I’m not use to that. For me to get ganged up on, and break down, and then for me to win the POV the next day was just…holy shit. It just the most amazing feeling ever, I was just shaking when I won it.

Faith: Sometimes when watching the show the conflicts get really intense. What is that like when people start going at each other with that intensity?

James: It gets crazy….I really don’t know how to explain the feeling. You kind of forget that you’re playing for $500,000. You get consumed in this whole friendship thing, and you’ve really gotta leave all that shit at the door. You’ve really gotta go in there full speed ahead and you’ve gotta pretend to be friends with people. But that’s the really hard thing about me. I can’t really pretend to be friends with people; either I like you or I don’t like you, and I’m pretty blunt about the people that I don’t like.

Faith: (laughs) Well, you did really well. The next question I want to ask you…I was looking over at your blog on MySpace and dude, you can REALLY write. did you ever think about just writing about your experiences? I know you were blogging about your bike trip. Did you ever think about putting that in a book?

James: I wanna be more in tune with people right now. I wanna put something together, but I believe there’s contract issues and you can’t write a book for a couple years. But I’m definitely thinking about putting a book together of short stories that you can read online where it doesn’t cost any money. I’m not about making money, I’m not selling my phone calls on eBay and the stuff that I am putting up on eBay goes to charity for breast cancer awareness. I can win a little bit of money but at the same time that’s gone quick. For me it’s helping while I can. It’s good, I’m happy.

Faith: I’m glad to hear it. You sound like you’ve got a good head on your shoulders and I know your world has to be very different in some ways.

James: Well, imagine coming out and being America’s favorite juror. Coming out with the fan base that I have its really ridiculous. I’m trying to be as humble and open minded to everything and trying to respond to all the messages that I get and answering all the phone calls that I get. It’s crazy, and it’s good, and I’m really blessed. Yeah, I didn’t win the game but at the same time I think I’ve won America over and I think that’s a little more important.

Faith: Before we wrap up is there anything that you want people to know that we haven’t covered?

James: I’m going to get back on my bicycle soon enough. I think that’s what really intrigued people and I’m not going to go away from that. I’m gonna stick to the bicycling, and show people that its about adventure first and then everything else. Just follow the beauty in life and everything will be fine.

Big Brother 10 – Week 12 Update

I was pretty sad to see Natalie leave the house this Wednesday. She was just so oblivious up until right before she went home it kind of made me hope Sheila would change her mind about getting rid of her. Also, we all know she’s thinking along the lines of, “at least I’ll get to be with Matty,” again, oblivious to the obvious fact that Matt doesn’t like her like that.

But thats enough talk about the losers; lets move on to winners, like the new HoH Ryan. This is the first time that one alliance has dominated a house with five straight HoH victories to their credit. If Sheila wasn’t so scared of Natalie they could’ve wiped out the whole other alliance, but stupidly she left Sharon in the house.

It seems that Ryan might also be dumb enough to leave Sharon in the house this week. After nominating Sheila and Sharon for eviction and winning veto, Ryan and Adam think it would be a good idea to get rid of Sheila. They think that she has too many potential votes in the jury house mainly because they think Matt is her son, and she might have known James before entering the house. Needless to say, both of those accusations are false and I’ll chalk it to extreme paranoia brought on by being in the Big Brother House for 2 months+.

Come Wednesday night hopefully Adam decides to keep Sheila in the house. With her in the final 3 he’d be guaranteed a stop in the final 2. I know for a fact that Ryan would take him, and Sheila would owe him for not evicting her, plus they’d be the only couple left and there should be some loyalty there. Then again, if you keep Sharon and everyone in the jury house stays loyal to “Team Christ”(as Natalie put it), then whomever takes her to the final 2 would win. It’s definitely going to be an interesting final few weeks.

Big Brother 9 Week 7 Eviction/HoH/Nominations

Chelsea is out of here and good riddance I say. She went out of the house like a bitter baby. There was no reason for her to verbally attack Natalie all week, especially after her closest ally(James) in the house asked her to stop because it was going to hurt him more than it would her. But shes gone now and Natalie won HoH as most house guest do after they have a bad week prior to the competition.

I am rooting for Natalie to win over everyone in the house and this was a long time coming, congrats and kudos to her. The only reason I didn’t want her to win was because if she won she’d have to constantly go over the competition and tell people what was going through her mind as she was answering the questions. But hey that’s Natalie; she talks non stop and when she stops and you think shes done you realize she was just taking breath to start talking some more.

Natalie chose to nominate James and Josh for this week. James was the HoH that single handedly sent Matt packing and Josh has a history of blowing up and verbally attacking the women of the house plus he hadn’t been nominated yet so they were obvious choices. Natalie may have a secret alliance with James now although I’m not positive how that’ll work with him being nominated, but we’ll see how it plays out.

The players for the Veto Competition have already been chosen and they are Natalie, James, Josh, Sheila, Sharon, and Ryan. Adam will be no doubt be the host of the competition. Thats all the updates we have for now if something really serious goes down we’ll be sure to report it to you guys.

Big Brother 9 Week 6 Nominees/Veto Winner

Adam has decided to place James and Chelsia on the block this week. I figured he’d either do that or place Josh on the block only because he’s never been nominated for eviction. Neither James or Chelsia are campaigning that much just yet. I think they’re waiting to see if one of them can win the POV so they don’t attack the other persons character needlessly.

Breaking News!

As I was typing this up, the Veto competition was taking place so the feeds were down. Now they’re back up, and James is walking about wearing the golden power of veto. This means Adam will have to put up a replacement nominee in next few days and I think he’ll go with Josh. If that’s the person he chooses then Chelsia may have a chance to stay, because Josh’s random outbursts towards the women in the house have rubbed everyone the wrong way. I think I’d put that aside for now; I’d  at least still vote out Chelsia if only to break up the strongest 2 person alliance in the house.

Big Brother 9 Week 6 Eviction and HoH

(Matt)

Time for us all to say goodbye to Matt. It’s a little hard this season to be upset when somebody gets evicted since I never really got that “they didn’t deserve to go” feeling about any of them. Yeah, Matt didn’t really do anything to warrant his eviction, but he also didn’t play the game well enough for us to say he got screwed. The only reason he left is because James felt that he was some sort of of unproven threat… But that’s enough time spent on Matty: he’s gone; lets move on.

(Adam)

I have got to give a shout out to A-Balla, Adam for winning HoH this week. I love when a middle of the road house guest like Adam wins HoH. No one in the house dislikes him, and he hangs out with both James/Josh’s crew and Natalie/Shelia, so if anyone other than him won HoH he was pretty much safe. Adam has been going back and forth between the two major alliances in the house ever since week 3, but once nominations roll around one half of the house will be off limits to him. Hopefully he can deal with the sudden, but always extreme change in temperament that occurs between the HoH and nominees.

Big Brother 9 Week 4 Recaps/Spoilers

Its the time we’ve all(or at least I) have been waiting for, the splitting up of the couples. Since I’m pretty late with my recaps this week I’m gonna cover everything that happened this week from the eviction, new HOH, Nominations, Veto winner and the replacement nomination so lets get things started.

It was a sad moment for Allison last Wednesday when she was evicted from the Big Brother house 2-0. Then she was shocked like the rest of us when she was told the couples would be broken up and now the rest of the house would be voting out either her or Ryan. Thats one of those moments when you think you might have chance to stay but maybe, just maybe the house was voting you out because they didn’t like your partner. Well needless to say that was the case the only problem was that the house was voting out Ryan because they hated Allison and with them no longer teamed up they were free to vote out Allison 6-0. Being evicted twice in one night must really suck, but its not as bad as being evicted three times ain’t that right KAAAYSAAAAR!

As everyone attempted to decompress from their recent forced divorces Ryan won the HOH competition in typical Big Brother “I was on the block the previous week” fashion and with that season 9 of Big Brother officially began.

Right off the bat Sheila got as far away from Adam as possible while Matt continued to sleep in the same bed with Natalie despite saying he would get away from her the first chance he got.

Spoilers Below!!

Ryan and Matt have been hanging out all week which  isn’t out of the norm since they would hang out and work out together before now. But of course there are people in the house who failed to notice their friendship up until now and naturally Matt is “sucking up” to Ryan because he’s afraid of being nominated.  With that James, Josh, Chelsia, Sharon, and Sheila decided to get Matt nominated. The only problem is that they decided that AFTER Ryan nominated Sharon and Chelsia for eviction.

Once Chelsia won the power of veto they decided to try and get Matt back doored using scare tactics. Once Sheila found out about the back dooring plan she began distancing themselves from the group because she could see their plan wasn’t going to work.

I’ve always wondered why people try and get the HOH to nominate the people their closest to for eviction with the threat of the whole house targeting them the following week. The only time I remember one of those threats working was when Boogie threatened Chicken George with the coup de’ ta and got him to get rid of Howie.

While Josh and crew were making threats and trashing people left and right they failed to realize that their alliance had broken down just as quickly as it formed and nobody but a select few were still talking about Matt getting back doored. Instead the topic of the rest of the house turned to back dooring James. As with most things in the Big Brother house if the whole house is whispering about something it usually happens. So earlier today at the veto ceremony James was blindsided when Ryan put him on the block as the replacement nominee.

Josh and Chelsia decided they were going to be jerks to the rest of the house and Josh has even decided to try and get punched in the face by Matt to try and send him home that way. As of right now they haven’t really started “going off” on people but if anything really good happens I’ll be sure to update and let you all know.

Big Brother 9 Week 2 Nominations

(Matt and Amanda talking after being nominated)

This week James and Chelsia won HoH and to my surprise everyone in the house for the most part everyone in the house was ok with it. Ryan and Adam even talked some strategy with James last night trying to figure out how to make the girls votes null and void. Also during that conversation James let the two guys know that he made out with a drunken Chelsia and used the “N” word(not in a racial slur type of way). At that point nobody really had any idea who the new HoH’s were going to put up, but once morning came around and everyone sobered up and went to work. The after very little convincing Chelsia and James were convinced to stick to the plan and continue to get rid of the Parker, Alex, and Matt alliance.

Now with Matt and Natalie, and Alex and Amanda nominated everyone else seems to be at ease because regardless of which couple goes their plan still worked. The primary target is Alex and Amanda mainly because of how Amanda gossips and starts trouble around the house, but if by a stroke of luck they win veto Matt and Natalie would also be a good eviction option because they are one of the “strong” couples as Shelia put it.

There was also a food competition earlier today and so far I know that Alex, Amanda and Sheila smell faintly of fish and are on slop. Once they all sit down to dinner and I get a better idea of who else can’t eat.

Below are the videos of James using the “N” word and him and Chelsia making out.
