You'll be happy to know I checked into the background of the third preexisting relationship currently in the Big Brother 9 house -- the guinea pigs. It is indeed a relationship started well before the ill-fated BB9 season. Hansel and Gretal (their names have been changed to protect them from nefarious ne'er-do-wells currently appearing on the show) were high school sweethearts in Piscataway, NJ. Both pursued acting careers after college, but Hansel became a bartender at CBGB's on the Lower East Side while Gretal taught aerobics to gerbils in Washington Heights. Now, here's the kicker -- they met James at a bar in Brooklyn and he got them cast for this season.

Or, I could be making it all up. Show spoilers after the jump!

Beebies! My beebies! My fur-iends! I just don't know. I realize I talk to my cat, but I hope I don't sound as whacked-out as Sharon does when she talks to the guinea pigs in the Big Brother 9 house. Of course, I discuss politics, religion, and world issues with my cat rather than just calling her pet names. That might be the difference.

One of the houseguests, either Sharon or Natalie, will be evicted on tonight's show. Don't you want to be prepared for the outcome? Read on past the jump for news from the 24/7 live feeds -- spoilers ahead!

(S09E30) "I kept getting turned down for acting jobs. Then I realized God wanted me to go on TV and be me." - Natalie

Well, I don't know about that. The more I watch Natalie on Big Brother 9, the more I'm sure that Paula Abdul, Lucille Ball, and Chucky the killer doll had some sort of bizarre ménage à trois and came up with a love child named Natalie who has found religion and uses it as it suits her needs. Sure, she can play the game well. Oh, and she surely does a good Natalie. But I can't see her ever becoming an actress. Read on past the jump for my full review of tonight's show.

Today is the tax deadline, but I don't think there's anyone or anything more taxing than the houseguests inside the Big Brother 9 house. Heck, they're even taxing the staff within the walls there. Adam keeps bouncing a ball in the kitchen and the piped through the house BB voice yells, "Adam, STOP THAT!" Sometimes as I watch the feeds, I want to yell through the house, "Houseguests, STOP THAT!" Until that day, I'll live vicariously through the BB staff voice.

Mmm ... is it time for dinner in the Big Brother 9 house? Now do you understand the excitement you're missing if you don't have the 24/7 live feeds? I keep telling you it's a thrill a minute, but you never listen. Uh-oh. I think I'm starting to sound like Sheila.

For those of you looking for last night's show review, I think Natalie asked "What would Jesus do?" Then she created a mishap resulting in it being published for the wrong day. I know Natalie did it. But last night's show review does really exist despite Natalie not wanting you to see the house turn on her. For spoilers, read on here beyond the jump.

Tonight's episode of Big Brother 9 will air the end of the Glass Houses head of household endurance competition, as well as the nominations made by the new HOH. But that's old news for those of us who regularly watch the 24/7 live feeds inside the house.

Right now, in the image on the right, Natalie is primping in anticipation of an after veto ceremony meeting. Yes, you heard me right. The houseguests have already competed for the power of veto and the winner either used it or not. For spoilers on the episodes which will be aired both tonight and Tuesday, read on past the jump.

It's a hot spring day in the Big Brother 9 house. Now, I could be talking about the temperatures in the California locale. Or could I be talking about the tempers of those persnickety houseguests?

You won't know unless you read on past the jump. Beware, there will be show spoilers for both the Sunday and Tuesday episodes. Head of household, nominations, and the power of veto winner are just beyond the jump. Don't you want to know?

Natalie, Ryan, Sharon, Sheila, and Adam are the remaining hamsters in the Big Brother 9 house. The season is really getting in the final stretch, isn't it? One of those houseguests won the head of household competition. Two were nominated for eviction. One houseguest has already won the power of veto.One is having a birthday today.

Of course, you won't see a peep of this until Sunday night with the aired show and then it will be just the nominations and some spare footage bits. But you could know it all now. Read on past the jump for spoilers from the 24/7 live feeds in the BB9 house.

Anyone following Big Brother 9 knows the live eviction show ended with a Head of Household endurance competition which won't be seen on the show until Sunday night. Now, of course, these silly hamsters won't last until Sunday night. The competition is over as I write this. It played out on the live feeds and I'm here to share the whole thing with you, the loyal TV Squad Big Brother fans!

Beware, the image gallery below contains major spoilers for Sunday's show. Read on past the jump to find out who the new HOH is this week.

Welp, tonight is it -- another live eviction show for the Big Brother 9 houseguests. Yet another hamster will leave the Habitrail. Last night's show aired the power of veto competition which actually happened last Friday in the house.

It's now James and Sharon on the block and one will definitely leave ... and not come back until it's time for the jury to vote on a winner. We all know the atmosphere in the house towards James. Will he have any support tonight? Will he squeak by?

(S09E27) "I stirred the pot for no reason." - Adam

Nah, Adam. I like it that you shook things up a bit. Adam's latest nominations in the Big Brother 9 house alienated his alliance. We're talking about a house which puts James on the block week after week. Then he wins veto week after week and saves himself. Well, there was that time that the houseguests all voted him back in after they had evicted him. If they all want James out of the house so badly, their approach just isn't working, is it?

Someone in the Big Brother 9 house will be going home tomorrow. While I can't say for sure proof positive who will be walking out the door because it's a live vote, I have a pretty good idea. After all, the power of veto competition was held the other day and it was used or not.

They think Sharon's the mole? Well, they have it all wrong. I'm the mole and I'm telling all I know. Uh-oh. If I'm a mole, I can't type this report. I want my opposable thumbs back!

In last night's review of Big Brother 9, I dubbed Adam "Compassion Lad" because he has such compassion for others -- James and Sheila come to mind. Since I have a bit of white space here to fill before going into spoilers after the jump, I've decided to give each one of the houseguests a superhero name.

Let's see ... Sheila must be Mighty Mouth. Sharon could be the Invisible Woman. Ryan is the Smoking Man. Hmmm ... Natalie would have to be the GODdess. Then there's James. Whatever else he might be, he'll always be the geek in the pink to me.

(S09E26) "Why did you vote me back into the house if you didn't want to work with me?" - James

It's once again nominations time in the Big Brother 9 house. The last time Adam was the head of household, it seemed that Natalie actually took the reins during his reign. Will the second time be Adam's time to shine or will he let other dictate his nominations once again? And how about that James? Are his nine lives just about up? He's an island, you know. He's lost his Chelsia and his Joshuah. Heck, he's not an island. He's more like an abandoned can along the roadside.
