“BOSTON (AP) — The ninth-season winner of the reality TV show “Big Brother” told a federal agent that he used his $500,000 prize to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them, authorities said.
Adam Jasinski, 31, of Delray Beach, Fla., has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness.”
“ET has learned that CBS Corporation President and CEO Leslie Moonves and his wife, CBS’ “The Early Show” co-anchor and “Big Brother” host Julie Chen, welcomed their new bundle of joy Thursday!”
Congratulations!
There’s just one week to go before “Big Brother” ends one of its most successful seasons ever– and, not surprisingly, emotions among fans are intense right now.
For many, the dominant feeling is one of disappointment: Only one member of Team Jeff– aka the good guys– remains. Michelle was evicted tonight, leaving Jordan all by herself to carry the banner for the team viewers seemed to love the most.
Meanwhile, one despised player (Natalie) and one annoying player (Kevin) are still in contention for the $500,000, and odds are one of them will win it.
“‘Big Brother’ is like watching a sporting event,” exec producer Allison Grodner told TV MoJoe in our weekly post-eviction chat. “You go all season with your favorite team, and sometimes they make it. And sometimes they don’t. It’s very real.”
The fact that there’s a very real chance many viewers will be bummed by the outcome of the game only serves to highlight just how little “Brother” producers are able to stage manage the game.
“If the game were fixed, it’s very possible America’s favorites might very well be in it,” Grodner laughs.
One thing Grodner won’t comment on: Insider reports that producers have decided to shake up the structure of the final days of the game. Source

Today, Chima Simone sat down and composed an email for the Big Brother Examiner. Below you’ll find a transcript. You will find that Chima’s portrayal of the events is somewhat different then what CBS is pushing out there for the audience. There are questions yet to be answered, but this makes for some interesting reading.

It’s week 5 inside the Big Brother house and the ratings continue to grow. The show is starting to pick up and the storylines are really starting to come to fruition. Buddy “Aces” Israel showed up in the house to promote his movie, “The Goods” and a couple of houseguests got a kick out of Piven being there. It looks like the coup d’état will be used this week, by Jeff, and the sides will continue to even out. It’s starting to become a very entertaining season. Let’s look at who’s in great position through week 5.

Has Jessie’s roughhousing with Lydia and Natalie gone too far on Big Brother 11? That’s what some fans think after watching the late-night feeds. Viewers have peppered BB message boards with complaints that Jessie crossed a line during recent wrestling matches with the two young women, especially since a medic was called to check up on the diminutive Natalie. Executive Producer Allison Grodner told EW exclusively that while she takes the safety of the houseguests seriously, Jessie and the women “engage in (the roughhousing) consensually” and any action he made toward the woman “was not intentionally malicious or abusive.”
“We’re monitoring it,” said Grodner. “We’ve talked to Natalie and Lydia and Jessie about it in the diary room. We’re not looking to hide anything. Everyone who needed to be warned has been warned.”
Grodner confirmed that a medic looked at Natalie after Jessie pushed her in the leg. (more…)
I have to be honest and say that last Thursday’s live show was the best one of this season, by far, and one of the best I’ve seen in the last couple seasons. I thought that Casey’s exit speech was the best one I’ve ever seen and I enjoyed seeing him stick it to Ronnie and Jessie. Also, during the show, the coup d’état was introduced, which means that more than likely, my favorites get to be safe for a couple more weeks. I’m really not a big fan of outside influence and think that the America’s Choice twist compromises the whole game but I have to admit that I didn’t mind this one.
