New Blog From Dick
Suicide/Heart/Breasts/Vegas/ Chopper
The Suicide Girls Radio appearence will be on June 1st. The date has changed, so please note that and join me for an intimate chat with the world about sex, drugs and rock & roll... or whatever they want to talk about.
I am on my way back to Vegas again today. Crazy James is joining me this time and we will have a blast. I am going out to test drive and haggle a bit more over the price, but should be riding my new custom chopper built by Count Kustoms there in Vegas. The pics of it are posted, so go check out my new ride motha fuckas.
I have gotten involved with another cause, breast cancer. And it is not just because I get to check women's breasts for lumps (yes, that was a joke, so fuck off.) It is to bring awareness to the fact that men suffer from this illness as well as women. So, I will be talking more about this as things progress and I know what avenues I will be taking to help them get word out about what I will be doing. And yes, there will be an auction associated with this, but nothing like you might think... it will be something very unique and an absolute one of a kind item. Check back for details.
Speaking of charities....
This is the item going up for auction for the American Heart Association, through my friend JJ. And if you have ever been in my chat, you have crossed paths with JJ, he is a good friend of mine and he is doing something very cool with them, so I figured that this would be a great item to give to them. This is the "Can I have the envelope, please..." The letter saying I had won for, well.. read it. But this is the award that Johnny Fairplay was onstage to present me with when Danny Bonadouche-bag tossed him over his roided head and smashed a tooth out of his skull. Then Alexis Arquette (the transsexual Arquette brother, unlike David Arquette who IS a pussy) jumped up on stage and did the presentation herself (much different a presentation than she did the last time I saw her on stage sucking his own dick at The Roxy during a Metal Skool set.) All that pop culture history can be YOURS! If you win the auction..... I will post the link as soon as it goes up.
This I got from a Mother that is sick worrying about her son in Iraq. I just wanted to share this with you all.... And remember while so many people are so worried about Four House Guests fucking in a jaccuzzi after the finale. There are real things going on in the world that we hear so little about, because the Government wants us not to think about what we should really be thinking about. We are thinking about Natalie sticking a Corona bottle up her twat instead of American boys out in a desert in a place so far and removed from us here sitting in our Lazy Boy recliners, drinking a budweiser (or as we hear Natalie perfers, Corona) eating some chips and watching a reality tv program and picking apart their every move on the show.... When these kids are losing arms and legs and lives every day over there. That is reality programing. Why isn't there a fucking reality show done in Iraq? Or Afganistan? Think the networks wouldn't air it because of shitty ratings? Shitty ratings? No way. You would get to see people die.... That is real and that would get ratings. You don't have a reality show with the troops over there, because after the first death there would be an outcry to get us the fuck out of there NOW!
So, the next time you happen to be watching the news and there is a blurb about the casualties in the war, think about what this woman must be feeling every single day her son is gone over there. My heart goes out to her.
Hey Dick,
Well, you are the only person I can think of right now that I can say what I gotta say and you wont get mad at me and hate me, cause you dont know me and you know not to take this personally!
Its been a while since I heard from my son Nick in Iraq. I am worried cause the last time I talk to him he said all hell was breaking loose and they were seeing more and more IED's and shit. He has already been hit once by an IED and thank God survived!
I know, I shouldnt worry so much but god damn! I am so fucking sick of this war and so fucking pissed at Bush for starting this shit!
My son is only 22 yrs old and over in a war zone where these idiots are out to kill him and all of them and I just pray every day for him to be safe.
I mean we sit here no word no nothing. You ask and all they tell you is everything is fine. Yea right! I mean the only fucking time I hear from my FRG lady out of Ft Stewart is when we loose a soldier. She could at least say hey I heard from my hubby (which is my sons commander) and all is ok just wanted you to know. But NO she cant do that.
There are times I have gone a month or more and not heard from my son because he was out on a mission. I just want him home ! I am tired of this crap!
I hate Bush!
I hate what Bush has done to my country, gas economy and o-fuck that bastard!
I am so tired of it all and I want Nick home !
Thanks for listening, just needed to vent!
This I can listen to all day long and my heart bleeds. Why she has to write me and not talking with her friends about this is unbelievable. They obviously are tired of listening to her "complain" that she is afraid for her sons life. We have all become so self involved and don't have the time to listen to our close friends when they truly need us anymore. Where are we headed as a society, as a culture, as human beings? I am not above being guilty of these things as well. But it is a very sad day when a mother has to write some shit head she watched on a reality show, because even her closest friends are tired of listening to her voice her worry for her sons life.
I'm done...............
Another Interview with Josh
Joshuah Welch went eight weeks without finding himself on the chopping block before he became the fifth individual houseguest evicted from Big Brother's ninth season.
On Thursday, the 25-year-old advertising media buyer from Dallas, TX talked to Reality TV World about numerous aspects of the competition, including why he was the only jury member who voted for Ryan Quicksall instead of Adam Jasinski; his insight on what type of player his original "perfect-match" partner Neil Garcia was; how he's not really as hot-headed as he might have appeared; and why he worked so well with Sharon Obermueller.
Reality TV World: Seeing as how you were the only one who did so, why did you cast your jury vote for Ryan instead of Adam?
Joshuah: I felt like Ryan really played a really hard game. He did manipulate a lot of people, but he definitely laid the groundwork for Adam as far as getting to the Final 2. He won a lot of competitions and he was willing to make tough decisions, such as Adam obviously didn't want to make the final decision to choose between [Sheila Kennedy] and Ryan.
[Adam] threw the [final Head of Household] competition, and I just think that people that go out and play every single game deserve to win more than people who throw competitions and allow others to carry them to the end.
Reality TV World: Were you surprised that none of the other jury members agreed with you about why Adam didn't deserve the money?
Joshuah: I really am. I think a lot of the other people let their minds get clouded by the fact that maybe [Ryan's girlfriend and fellow Big Brother ninth-season houseguest Jen Diturno] was haunting them a little bit. They didn't want Jen to win ultimately since they were together. But for me, I'm voting on individual basis and Ryan, I thought, deserved to win regardless of if he's with Jen or not.
Reality TV World: How were you cast for Big Brother and had you applied to the show before?
Joshuah: I've always watched Big Brother, since about Season 2. I've always wanted to be on the show, but it just never seemed like it was the right timing for me.
Finally thins year I was home for Thanksgiving and I saw an open casting call in Houston, so I was like, "I'm home for Thanksgiving. I'm bored. Why not?" So I went to the Houston open casting call at a bar and got a call back, and in the call back the casting director basically told me, "I really like you a lot Joshuah, but I really need you to pop. You really need to do something for this next one." I was like, "Okay."
So I did a couple shots of Petron, went in there kind of loopy and took off all my clothes and stood there in my cowboy boots and underwear and told them, "Hey I'm Joshuah. You need to cast me or you're idiots because I'll definitely give you a good show." That's how I got on there.
Reality TV World: What was your strategy heading into the house?

Funny BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP
This is funny, you gotta read it.
BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP One Last Time With Feeling
By B-Side
“I Did Take It Too Far Sometimes” – An Interview with Big Brother 9’s Joshuah
by David Bloomberg -- 05/07/2008
Joshuah was certainly a controversial figure in the ninth season of Big Brother – and he is willing to face up to it. In this exclusive RealityNewsOnline interview, Joshuah talks about his time in the house, including his blow-ups and attacks on various other players. What does he have to say about it, in retrospect? Who is the real Joshuah? Read on to find out what he told David.
Some reality show contestants are done with their seasons and realize they really don’t want to talk about what happened. Not so with Joshuah, as you’ll see here. Indeed, several times Josh answered questions I was planning to ask him about his more controversial moments before I even had the chance! Read on to see what he has to say.
RealityNewsOnline: Hello, Joshuah, and thanks for taking the time to talk to us here at RealityNewsOnline. Starting at the beginning, did you have a specific planned strategy coming into the game?
Joshuah: I actually did, my strategy in the beginning was that I was going to try to go straight or gay, not talk about my sexuality, and use that to just flirt with everybody and be everyone’s friend, the all-American guy. That’s what I was shooting for. That’s what I was planning on doing. Then the first five seconds, with the couples, it was shot right there. After I was, I guess you could say “outed,” I went with it and I changed my character to be the funny, quirky, snappy, gay guy. I wanted to be catty and bitchy and come off harmless. I wasn’t trying to be malicious or evil.
That quickly snowballed into frustrations running high, me losing my partner, and a lot of stress in the house. Once you’re in there, you can plan to be calm and play a smart game, but you are surrounded by so many conflicting personalities – they’re your nemesis and it starts to wear on you. People don’t understand how lonely you are. Even though you’re surrounded by people, they are all competing with you.
I was blessed to have Neil and Sharon as my partners, and everyone else was out to get you. That changes the mood and your personality in the game. You start playing defense because you feel like people are attacking you, and that sometimes blows up into huge loud situations that I’m definitely known for.
RNO: Speaking of Neil, what happened to him?
Joshuah: Neil was called into the diary room and then he was there for about two hours. Then I’m called in, which is kind of weird when somebody else is still in there. I saw a cup on the ground and maybe a plate, and I knew he had been taken out of the game. I was informed he had a family emergency and I had the option of Sharon or Jacob. I didn’t even have time to think at that point. I was in so much shock and said Sharon, and she was in the room with me. It was very surreal. I was told to pack Neil’s stuff, and that was all that was talked about. They said please don’t bring up Neil because he’s going through a tough time.
That was the last I saw and heard of Neil. Since I’ve been out of the house, I haven’t heard anything more than some rumors. As far as I know, everything’s okay. I haven’t heard any family situation that was that dire, so I don’t know. A mystery that I don’t know if will ever be solved.
RNO: How much Big Brother had you seen before going into the house?

Natalie's online chat!
Natalie Cunial:
Hi Everybody! This is Natalie. I'm ready to take your questions:)
Eureka, California:
Hi Nattie... I loved you as a contestant in the house, and I really appreciated your positivity and upbeat personality. I was rooting for you since day 1! My question is this: do you think that your game would have gone another week if you had campaigned against Sharon much harder than you did? Did you have any idea at all that Ryan & Sharon were in a 'deal' - or Ryan and Adam, for that matter? Love ya, girlie - keep smiling! Michelle, Eureka California
Natalie Cunial:
HI Michelle. I shouldn't have campaigned so hard against Sharon. I had no idea that Ryan and Sharon were working together. Although I did see them hanging out alot. My biggest mistake was dropping out of the glass house and giving Sheila the hoh comp. Thank you for your support! Love ya
Green Bay, WI:
Natalie, could you tell that Sheila was trashing you behind your back horribley with Sharon your last week or did you hold out hope she'd do the right thing and evict Sharon?
Thanks for being one of the most enjoyable parts of this year's BB show.
Kathleen
Natalie Cunial:
I had a good idea Sheila was talking bad about me, but I thought she would still keep me in an event of a tie. I had been loyal to her since day 1 so I thought she'd do the same. Thanks for all the love:)
E Falmouth, MA:
Are you proud of some of the things you did to get attention in the house such as taking your top off inthe pool, stripping, pole dancing.. you are a nice girl but you need to work on your self-esteem
Natalie Cunial:
I am a very open girl and I love to have a great time. I don't think theres anything wrong with nudity or dancing. We get very bored in the bb house. Thank you.
Country Club Hills, IL:
Hi Natalie. If CBS contacted you to do BB All Stars 2, would you do the show again?
Natalie Cunial:
Yes I would. I love bb and they already asked me so i might be going. Thank you
New York:
Natalie -
How do you feel about Matt selling the paintings that you did for him on ebay?
What is the status of your relationship with Matt?
Natalie Cunial:
I'm fine with Matt selling the paintings. He asked for my permission so he could use the money to visit me. We are great friends.
Marksville, Louisiana:
Do you not know that the Bible teaches Numerology/Astrology are sins & why did you rely on Numerology so strongly in the game?
Natalie Cunial:
I counted a lot of items in the house cause I was bored and i figured it would be good to be aware of everything in the house. Since I didn't study the love quotes, I better study everything else in the house and I like numbers. Thank you.
san antonio tx:
Hi Nat, I would like for you to know I think you are a great person. I supported you in the house and out to this day. I look for the postitive and not the negative in people. You are very Positive! Your fans love U. Thank you Lisa
Natalie Cunial:
Thank you so Much for all your support and love. I'm very positive and try to always see the good in people. Love you
station 9 salem:
Hey Nat, this is fire station 9 and we all rooted for you all season. When you going back to work so we can get a mocha from ya?
Natalie Cunial:
Hey Firestation. Thankyou so much for watching and for all your support. I will be starting work again Monday on Mission. love ya
Canada:
If you won the 500 000, What would you do with the money?
Natalie Cunial:
I would have invested and helped my family.
Los Angeles, CA:
Natalie, who do you think you won't keep in touch with from Big Brother?
Natalie Cunial:
I love everyone from the bb house but for sure im staying friends with Adam, Ryan, Jen, Parker, Matty, Amanda, Alex, Sharon, Jacob. thank you
Burns, OR:
You would be the perfect modern day Lucille Ball. Any chance of you being in a sitcom?
Natalie Cunial:
I would love to be on a sitcom, that is one of my many dreams. Hopefully I will get an offer. thank you
kingsport tn:
Natty,
Who would you have taken to the final two?
Natalie Cunial:
It would have been tough but either Adam or Ryan.
Marksville, Louisiana:
Nat, were you surprized with the edit CBS gave you on the show? How would you want to change it?
Natalie Cunial:
Yes i'm surprised. Because me and Matty did get along they just showed us fighting a lot on the show but that was part of me and Matty's game plan because we knew we were already targeted for being strong so that's why we pretended to hate each other to make everyone think we are weak. I think its kinda funny how they portrayed me.Thank you
ROSEBURG OREGON 97470:
WHEN WILL YOU BE MAKING A PUBLIC APPEARANCE IN OREGON. I AM A HUGE FAN.
Natalie Cunial:
I'm not sure yet but i plan on making a few of them.
Upstate New York:
Natalie have you or do plan on setting up a fan site such as myspace, face book or something like that so that your fans can communicate with you? and by the way you have a lot of fans!

BOSTON MASS:
HI NATTY!
MY QUESTION IS WE KNOW THAT YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE ON THE SHOW WAS DROPPING FROM THE BOX ( I BELIEVE THAT MOVE REALLY WAS YOUR DOWN FALL) WHAT IN YOUR OPINION WAS YOUR BEST MOVE? AAND IT SEEMED TO ME AS SOON AS YOUR PARTNER LEFT THE HOUSE YOU REALLY STEPPED UP YOUR GAME. DO YOU THINK MATTY HURT YOUR GAME? GOOD LUCK TO YOU SWEETIE!
ANGIE F.
Natalie Cunial:
You guessed my biggest mistake. My best move was aligning myself with Adam and Ryan. After Matty left I did step up my game. I had to, I didn't feel like I had anyone to trust.
cranston, ri:
Nat - Saw your art online - I want some! What are your plans to sell pieces or copies of your art??? Is your MySpace page your main website? thanks, diana
Natalie Cunial:
Thank you. I do sell my art but only originals. As soon as I get my MySpace going again on Thursday, you can contact me there.

What years did you go to Sprague?
Natalie Cunial:
I went there 1995-1997.
Vancouver, WA:
Natalie I am a huge fan of yours! You are bright, sweet and really pulled through to get far in the game. My question is about your alliance with Ryan and Adam. If you had gone to the final 3 and won HOH, who would you have taken with you to the final 2? You are awesome!!
Natalie Cunial:
Thank you so much for your compliments. I love Adam and Ryan both but in order to have won I probably would have taken Ryan.
Nutley New Jersey:
i think CBS should give you your own show, you were the most entertaining, carasmatic person in the house. I think of you as a free spirit with a huge heart. Do you have any current job offers or things we can look foward to seeing you do?
Cammy
Natalie Cunial:
I haven't received any job offers yet but I'm going to pursue acting and entertaining. I plan on moving to LA. Thank you
Dallas Oregon:
Hey Natty, you almost talk more than me ! lol ! Awsome ! I love you ! I scringed when you let Sheila win HOH ! She was nothing but a user ! If you go on to compete in All Stars or something, Paleeze watch your back, and don't be so damn nice ! You have what it takes to win ! Oh yeah, my question...... Have you watched the tapes of the show and could you tell me what you would have done different ? And will you continue work at the coffee shop ? Thanks , Diana
Natalie Cunial:
I wouldn't have talked so much and yes I'm still a t the coffee shop. yes i will go on All Stars. Thank you for your support
Toldeo, Oh:

Favorite moment playing hide and seek with the boys. Least favorite arguing with Chelsea.

Natalie Cunial:
Thank you. I do plan on moving to LA to pursue acting and modeling.
Hunlock, PA:
Hi Natty!!!

Natalie Cunial:
Not having to live with people who are mean and hateful.
Plano Texas:

Salem, OR:
It was cool that we had someone from right here in Salem on BB. I watch it every season. Is it really as hard as it seems on your psychy like Sharon seemed to be crying all the time?
Natalie Cunial:
Its very hard, a lot harder than I thought. I always wondered why people cried and then I did it all the time.
ny, ny:
hi nat, loved ya on the show. was wondering what your feelings are about chelsia are now that the show is over? was she still nasty to you at the wrap party etc?
Natalie Cunial:
I have no problem with Chelsia. she was nice to me at the wrap party but shes to negative to be around for long periods of time
Vancouver, BC:
Natalie
You rock!!! I loved the hide and seek that you brought to the house. Things were very boring once you left. Tell me...did Sheila or Allison make you nuts like it made me/us nuts? I was so trying to psychicly tell you to not give up the glass box challange. I didn't trust Sheila in my gut either. Who's game did you least respect?
XO
Natalie Cunial:
I least respected Sheila's game. She used people and complained all the time. I loved the hide and seek game to. Thank you.
Plano Texas:
Natty, would you consider doing the Amazing Race with Matty? That would be GREAT TV and y'all would win!! We love you sweet girl! )
Natalie Cunial:
Yes I would I love that show and Matty and I are great friends. That would be a blast!!
Keizer, Oregon:
Loved watching an Oregon girl on bb! You were great to watch. What's next for you?
Natalie Cunial:
Hopefully move to LA and pursue acting and modeling.
UK:
Did you hear that a lot of people voted for you to win the jurors prize but the votes were not going through? I tried voting for you so many times. Love you Nat. From Vicky in the UK
Natalie Cunial:
I heard that I was close and should have one. Thank you for voting.
Lafayette, LA:
Have you spoken with or made amends with Sheila since the show ended??
Natalie Cunial:
Yes, we spoke but she won't make eye contact with me or apologize.
Sarasota,FL:
I am working with the American Cancer Society on our annual fundraiser and silent auction. Would you be willing to participate with a signed photos or item from your time on Big Brother?
Natalie Cunial:
yes I would love to find me on MySpace next week. I don't have it up yet.
bryant,AR:
WOW! Shelia never even LOOKED at you after the show??? Did anyone else avoid you after?? How shallow and mean spirited. Shelia was just bitter to everyone and especially you because she knew (inside)that YOU should have been in final three instead of her..
Natalie Cunial:
Sheila obviously feels guilty for what she did. She is a very bitter person and i should have been final 3 for sure. Thank you
Brooklyn NY:
What do you think Sheila has to apologize for? You were plotting to get her out, and talking about her behind her back...she just got you out before you got her out.
Natalie Cunial:
Because Shelia was using me the whole game and once she didn't need me she got rid of me.
Dayton, Ohio:
I just wanted to point out that it was easier for the viewers to scream "DON'T DO IT" when you dropped b/c we knew that your alliance already turned on you before that HOH. You were great and I felt so bad for you.
Natalie Cunial:
Thankyou so much I wish I had known.
New York, New Paltz:
I honestly think the best thing that happened to you in the house was Matty getting evicted only becasue it allowed you to work with Adam and Ryan. I know it was hard for you to see Matty leave, but would you agree that Matty leaving was a blessing disguise?
Your fan,
Jarred
Natalie Cunial:
Yes Matty leaving was a blessing in disguise. I knew i'd be better off if he was gone I just didn't want it to happen.
Hunlock, PA:
Was it as hard to be in the jury house with those people as it looked? Was Matty really being nice?
Natalie Cunial:
The jury house was hard and lonely. Matty wasn't very nice. We didn't hang out much there
San Antonio Tx:
What will be your myspace address?
Love again, Lisa
Natalie Cunial:
I'm not sure yet. Something like its really me Nataliebb9
San Antonio Tx.:
Hi Natty, How do you feel about all the people hating on you for what happened in the house?
Natalie Cunial:
There will always be haters and people are entitled to their own opinion. I'm happy with who I am that's all that matters.
Little Rock, AR:
My family just thinks you are awesome, Nat! Bless you in your life to come! We wonder..what was your favorite and least favorite competition? JANET
Natalie Cunial:
Favorite comp disco ball, least fav hoh majority votes.
Manalapan NJ:
Natalie, a great majority of us watched the feeds---CBS portrayed you really well---and we saw exactly how Matty treated you. Maybe you should watch them. Question is do you plan to watch the feeds or remain postive about Matty?
Natalie Cunial:
I know a lot about what Matty did and i will still remain friends with him.
Salem:
Is it true that you fell in love with Matt, or was it a ploy?
Natalie Cunial:
That was all CBS doing. I like Matty but not in love. It takes me along time to fall in Love.
Salem Oregon:
Hey sweetheart..........It's your tricky auntie, I am so proud of you, I really don't hava a question, just want to tell you I love you and I know you will follow your dreams and they will come true, you deserve the best,you were so suprised on Sunday, that made me very happy, hang in there love ya you ROCK Love from, your aunt Kathleen

Yes me and Adam want to, maybe Hollywood. He is a great friend.
Dayton, Ohio:
What did the name "Team Christ" mean to you?
Natalie Cunial:
You know Ryan came up with that and I went along with it. it was just funny we didn't really mean anything by it to much. We all believe in the Lord so thats where it came from.
Los Angeles, CA:
Who did you think you would become friends with the first time you saw everyone?
Natalie Cunial:
Amanda and Matt.

Oran Missouri:
I can still hear Adam hollering your name Natalie!! Natalie! That was always so funny. Do you kind of wish he had been your soulmate? You guys would make a great couple. Hes sweet and so are you..Melonie
Natalie Cunial:
I loved Baller but only as friends. He cracks me up and we had so much fun together.
Atlanta, Georgia:
Natalie I'm a huge fan of yours and really enjoyed you on the show. You were so funny. Did you guys know about James adult film past, and if so what was your reaction?
Natalie Cunial:
No we had no idea. I was shocked. James is crazy.
Los Angeles, CA:
Have you had any crazy fan encounters?
Natalie Cunial:
Not yet, just getting recognized a lot.
Orlando, Florida :
Hi Natalie,
I think you we're a great competitor on bb9, but what I don't understand as a woman, why do you choose to remain good friends with someone who treated you the way Matt did?
Natalie Cunial:
People didn't see everything but Matt and I really did get along. A lot of us fighting was an act. He has apologized along with his whole family for the things he said and did.
New Paltz, New York:
Is your sister interested in doing Big Brother sometime in the future? Love ya!
Natalie Cunial:
No.
Los Angeles, CA:

Natalie Cunial:
I'm a forgiver but my gut said bring James back in the house so i followed my gut.
Salem, Oregon:
James looked odd and acted odd at times but he at the same time seemed to have it together pretty good. What is your personal opinion of James from the show and after?

CA:
Hi Natalie, just to give you a heads up, Josh might not be a good friend. It's interesting that he was nice to you in the jury house but during the finale show when you were casting your vote, I saw Josh in the background kind of rolling his eyes and murmuring something to Sharon while you were talking. He sucks! :P You're better off without him in your life.
Natalie Cunial:
Thank you, he's just mad cause I beat him.
cranston, ri:

Hi Natalie, I'm not sure I understand why you hated James so much. You guys all successfully backdoored and EVICTED him. When he was voted back in, you all crucified him for everything he did forgetting you all did the SAME thing to him the week before. I was just curious what was the real reason you were so hard on James? Thanks in advance!
Natalie Cunial:
I was hard on James because i knew Chelsia, Joshuah and Sharon wanted me out and he was a part of that group. i knew he would come after me.

Hart happy with her 'Big Brother' experience
By BOB LINK, bob.link@globegazette.com
The Globe Gazette
MASON CITY — Chelsia Hart’s experience on the CBS reality TV show “Big Brother,” was not at all what she thought it would be.
“It was totally different that what I thought,” she said. “There is really no way you can prepare yourself.”
Hart returned to Mason City after the show’s conclusion on April 27. She stayed with her parents, Dennis and Robin Hart of Mason City.
On Saturday family and friends held a welcome home celebration at Mulligans.
“I’m not real certain about my plans right now,” said the 21-year-old University of Northern Iowa student. “I’m going to go back to Cedar Falls and take care of the things at my apartment. Then I’m going to go back to L.A. and stay with a friend for a while.”
Hart said she has been booked for some public appearances and will see what happens.
“It’s not like I’m going to have a career in television,” she said. “Reality television doesn’t normally lead to show business. But I’m going to see what happens.”
Hart, who is a German major, said she plans to return to college at some point.
“I believe education is huge,” she said. “I can’t give up on that now.”
Hart was one of 16 housemates on the CBS Season 9 “Big Brother.”
On Day 49, a unanimous vote sent Hart packing to a location where she, with other jury members, were sequestered until the show’s finale, when $500,000 was awarded to the winner.
She was the fourth houseguest eliminated from the show and the second person on the Big Brother jury.

A recap - from Janelle's auction winner (super long!)
by BBFanSinceSeason1
My Experience the Week of the Finale and Wrap Party
This is REALLY long, but I’m telling all that I recall, that I’m at liberty to discuss, because so many people (hundreds) are asking me for a re-cap. So just skip most of it or I’ll bore you to tears.
After winning the charity auction, Janelle emailed me that I should call her and set up the details. I called her and she was super nice and easy to talk to on the phone. I had bid on e-bay because one, I’m a supporter of charities anyway and two, because I wanted to go to the finale. I had always wanted to go. Janelle is my favorite player, but honestly, I thought the idea of her being stuck with me for the sake of charity was strange and I told her on the phone that aside from going to the finale and wrap party, I had no expectations. I told her she didn’t have to go to dinner with me, which was part of the auction. Janelle advised me that she was paying for an extra night in the hotel for me because the wrap party was a day later than she expected. I offered to pay it myself several times, but she wasn’t having any of that. I could never have imagined that Janelle and I would become friends.
When I arrived in L.A., Saturday night, Janelle was still is Seattle, where she had done an interview with Dick, which Dick had set up for them. Seattle is one of her favorite places to visit. Janelle had set up a limo for my ride from the airport to the Sheraton, where we were staying. About the time my plane landed, Janelle texted and asked if I made it okay and how the weather was. It was extremely hot the first few days. I told her I made it and she texted back “I’m glad the Eagle has landed.” By this time, she had been calling me off and on and she called me when I was settled in my hotel. She was worried because RealPlayer had scheduled her flight into LAX quite late the following day and she would be rushed getting to the finale.
The day of the finale, Janelle texted me and said I should ride with Dick and his guest to the finale. Janelle was worried about being late because of the flight situation. She gave me Dick’s number and asked me to call him. I called Dick and he said to meet him in the lobby of the Hilton (which adjoins the Sheraton) in an hour. I made my way to the lobby and all of the HG’s families and friends were waiting to go the studio, very anxious to see their loved ones. I saw Dick, reached out to hug him, and said “hi, I’m Ginger.” Dick was pretty pre-occupied in the lobby with all the moms and passers-by wanting to take pics with him. I also took a picture with him on my phone. I met Dick’s guest, Dawn Marie from Texas, and she was so excited. I also saw the guitar she won as part of her auction and it was really fabulous. She planned to give it to her son, who is a musician. Dick’s charity sponsor (the guitar company) was there taking pics of the guitar, the donation of it, and pics with Dick. I think it’s incredible that not only did this company donate the guitar to Dick’s guest, it also donated one to Dick and a light gold one for all the HGs to sign to auction off for charity. Watch for that auction because I saw all the HGs sign it in the BY.
Still in the lobby, one of the HG moms walked up to me and said “we’re the Big Brother moms.” Adam’s mom, Denise, was an absolute delight and I told her Adam was going to win. I was conscious that Ryan’s mom was there too and someone might repeat what I said, so I was sure to add that I was also a Ryan fan, but I was sure Adam had the jury votes locked up. Adam’s mom and brother were nervous and they weren’t sure if was he was going to win. I ended up talking to Adam’s mom quite a bit throughout the night. I also met Natalie’s sister in the lobby, and she sounded just like Natalie. I told her how much I liked Natalie and I said to her “she’s a real person. Imperfect like the rest of us.” Natalie’s sister made a joke about wanting to tell Natalie to quit chasing Matt around. She said “WHAT IS SHE THINKING?” I just laughed and said Natalie seemed too nice for her own good sometimes.
We boarded a CBS shuttle (Dick, me, Dawn Marie, the HG families and friends, and a CBS production coordinator, who had been attending to all the families). After we boarded, the CBS person said no cameras or cell phones allowed, so Dick grabbed my phone, Dawn Marie’s camera and phone and his own and jumped back off the shuttle to put them in his car. While on the shuttle, I saw how nervous Adam’s mom was and I said softly to her “I’m telling you, Adam is going to win.” Well, I was sitting next to the CBS coordinator and she chastised me for saying that on the bus. Later, Adam’s mom would say to me about the coordinator’s comment: “that was uncalled for, because you whispered it and no one could hear you but myself and her.” I told her not to sweat it, I was completely unfazed by the admonition. As a Big Brother fan, I’m embarrassed to admit that I did not know about Natalie’s breast milk incident until Dick announced it to everyone on the bus. LOL. Natalie’s sister acted like she never heard about it and said “I don’t think that’s possible since she wasn’t pregnant.”
We entered the CBS studio lot and we disembarked the shuttle to pass through security, which was set up in a studio lot. They checked our purses. Dick requested they give him a cavity search and we laughed. Dick was introducing his guest as the “chick who paid over 10 grand to attend the finale with me.” Janelle always introduced me as her friend, Ginger. Two personalities that make them unique. After passing through security, we re-boarded the shuttle to head to the CBS green room. People who were aware of this procedure knew to bring their cameras and cell phones, leave them on the bus, pass through security, and then pick them back up before heading into the finale. Wish I had known! (None were on our bus, but there were attendees their who had their cameras or phones and said they knew the procedure from previous years. We passed a lot of the Big Brother props (such as the big wheel and other competition related things) on the studio lot. I saw a street of set houses and asked the CBS person what that was for. She said several shows shoot there. That ended up being where the wrap party was.
We all went into the green room, about 2 hours before show time. It was catered and had an open bar. The green room was filled with the HG families/friends and former Big Brother players. In the green room, prior to the show, is where I met Danielle Donato, who had on a sexy, low cut white silk shirt. She was very sweet and had a dry sense of humor. I also met Amber. She didn’t cry but she did carry herself like she was A-list celebrity. Therefore, the extent of my convo with her was “hello, nice to meet you.” Erika was in the green room and I never spoke a word to her. In fact, I saw her so many times, that occasionally, I had to pretend to suddenly need to turn around when I saw her coming. Sorry, I hold grudges. LOL (I’m quite sure she was pining away to meet the stranger that was me.....NOT). I first met Kail and her husband in the green room and Kail hugged me like an old friend. She was extremely warm. When I finally sat down, I sat next to Parker’s friend. (Another poster called him Parker’s brother. But indeed, it was a friend from Chicago). We talked and laughed and I was telling him who all the people from the past seasons were. He had never watched Big Brother before. I get asked this a lot so I’ll say - Kaysar lives in the area, but he did not attend. Will was not there. Howie was not there (although he was on Danielle’s cell phone in the BY after the show, wanting to talk to Sheila. Sheila did talk to him, but then hung up and said, only as Sheila can, “WHO WASSS THAT?).
CBS brought us into the studio about 4 minutes before the show started and while others scrambled to find out where their assigned seats were, I looked up and spotted Janelle and the only empty seat next to her. So I told the handler, thank you, but I saw my seat. I waved at her on the way up, but she wasn’t sure if I was waving at her so she just smiled. I sat next to her and hugged her and told her how pretty she was. She said “Aw, thanks, so are you.” I asked her who she wanted to win and she said this season she was 50/50. It didn’t matter to her. Janelle said she liked Sheila a lot because she thought she was “crazy, in a good way” and was “entertaining to watch.” Janelle also liked James (he was her fave), Natalie, and Chelsia, During the taping of the finale, Julie Chen was stone cold business and didn’t talk to anyone. Janelle said Julie’s a pro, and is very serious about business and does a great job with what little she is given prior to the show. There was a very enthusiastic stage manager who told us when to stand, when to clap, when to scream, and when to sit. He told us to go nuts as the Hgs entered the show. The audience member behind me was giving out signs to hold up and Janelle and I took one with a picture of Ryan on it. Mid-show, the CBS production gave out more signs. During a commercial, the stage manager said they were going to announce a twist (the audience favorite twist) and we show go nuts when it was announced. However, no one made a sound when it was announced. It didn’t feel like the right time. Janelle kept saying she hoped James would win, and she, of course, was granted her wish. You all saw the rest, so I won’t recap what happened on the show. LOL
After the show, we were lead back the green room, which had a lot more people in it this time. There was more food and still an open bar. All the HGs, except Ryan and Adam, were lead to the BY to do media. Ryan and Adam were taken aside, for at least and hour and half, to be debriefed “about the outside world, possible rumors they may hear, and anything else that the media or fans may accost them with” according to a CBS producer. I had asked her where they were when we were in the BY (discussed below). Janelle and Dick were scheduled to do interviews of the HGs in the BY. Janelle wanted to hang out in the green room for a while and unwind from her flight and rushing to the studio. She told me she arrived late and had to ask Don Wollman to get her in. It was obvious that Janelle was a VIP to CBS production and to everyone else. In my opinion, she received more attention that the current HGs did. People stopped her constantly to tell her she was their favorite HG of all time and the best player to ever play the game. She was nice to everyone and took time for everyone who approached her. After Janelle had a couple of drinks in the green room and caught up with some people, it was time to head to the BY for the interviews. Dick left his guest in the green room but Janelle told me to follow her, she would get me in. Janelle talked to one of the staffers and asked that myself and Dick’s guest be given a bracelet to be allowed in the BY. The staffer managed to get them and next thing I knew, we were in the BIG BROTHER BY! Woo hoo! Only the HG, the media, and CBS production were there....along with me and Dawn Marie. CRAZY I TELL YA! BTW, the house itself was on “lockdown” and we couldn’t see into the house. Janelle felt bad that Dick’s guest was in the green room so she sent a staffer to find her in the green room and bring her to the BY. She came and took charge having Dick’s charity guitar signed by all the HGs.
In the BY, the HGs were the most open and vulnerable that they would be the whole week, because I was one of the first people they talked to and they had been shut off from the outside world until that moment. I hugged all of them, and introduced myself as a random stranger. I could tell it was unnerving to them that people they had never seen before knew their names. I guess they expect it, but being in the situation is a reality check. The BY was bigger than I expected, but only because I had always heard how small it was. However, the hut tub was no bigger than my bath tub. I have no idea how that many people squeezed into that thing without looking like sardines. When I announced I was going, the number one request I had from people was to tell Sheila that she had lots of fans. So when I hugged Sheila, I told her and she yelled “I DO??? OMG!” (Later at the wrap party, I asked her to respond to what I told her and she said “Tell them I love them ALL!”) James was just as nice as he could be. Chelsia was funny and uninhibited and she gave a crazy interview to Dick about the sexual happenings in the house. Speaking of Dick, he asked the most outrageous and explicit questions to everyone and gave his uncensored opinions to everyone, on and off camera. He wasn’t uncomfortable to tell family members his takes on certain dumb moves by their loved ones, nor did he hesitate in telling the HGs themselves about the dumb things they did. While in the BY, Dick repeatedly screamed comments to Natalie about the breast milk, the kissing orgy, following Matt around, etc. Natalie said “oh, they edited it to look like I was chasing him around” to which Dick responded “It’s recorded 24 hrs a day Natalie!” He told Ryan that he was so pissed because he cost himself $450k by keeping Adam instead of Sheila. I’m sure this made it to the RealPlayer interview, but Ryan responded “thanks for making me feel so much better.”
For the most part, I walked around the BY trying to take it all in since I had no camera. I heard LOTS of drama because the HGs were discussing things they heard for the first time, especially non-jury and jury members. I sat on the HG sofa. (Most of the time, Janelle was doing interviews with Dick). There, I witnessed Parker have an episode. He yelled “I’m the same motherf***er I was in the house. There was no need to talk ***** about me after I left the house.” He was talking to several HGs but I swear I don’t remember who. Also on the sofa, I heard Jen and Ryan have their first conversation. I asked if I should leave and give them their moment and they said no, it was fine if I stayed. The convo was personal and sweet. Throughout the week, Ryan and Jen had a few tense conversations, not helped by alcohol, but the last time I saw them everything was great between them. These incidents were no more serious than any of us with our partners in relationships. I did have a couple of personal conversations with Jen about the situation and she was very sweet and it was clear she was totally in love with Ryan. Obviously, I am not going to repeat things said to me in confidence but I did want to say how nice Jen was in person. Ryan was also very nice to me.
The only other significant things to say about the BY are: I asked Sharon what she thought about the GP relationship. She responded “I was SO ripped off of that HOH.” I agreed with her. Someone else chimed in, “it was rigged, trust me.” One of the HGs told me Chelsia knew about James’ gay porn the entire time, so they found out in the sequester house. I took Ryan and Adam’s lighters off the table. Oh, there, I just lit a cig with one. LOL. The fridge had soy milk and nothing else in it. One of the HGs left their tennis shoes and they were still in the BY. (No, I didn’t take those of course!). Bunky was doing interviews and he was a super nice guy whenever I saw him. I saw that chick, Amanda, from Tila Tequila’s show, doing interviews. I met Allison Grodener. She was busy, but nice. I met Gretchen from HC. Man, is she skinny! She was nice too. I heard someone from RealPlayer tell James that they wanted to fly him out for an interview. He responded “YES, I LOVE SEATTLE!” I asked him if he was going to ride his bicycle and he just laughed.
After the BY all the HGs were reunited with their families in the green room, yet again. Adam’s mom walked up to me and said “you were right, you were right, Adam won!!” I congratulated her and when Adam walked in she grabbed him and said “This is Ginger, she knew you were going to win!” He said he had already met me in the BY and gave me another bear hug. Adam really came off as genuine and funny in the BY and the green room. Janelle and I were ready to leave before the shuttle was ready, so we noticed Kail and her husband leaving and hitched a ride with to the hotel with them. They invited us to eat at Ketchup in L.A. with them the following night, but we didn’t have time to make it.
Every time throughout the week thereafter, Adam would walk up to me and say “Hey Ginger, how you doing?” or other niceties. He made it a point to include me all the time. When we would all be out, Adam would ask if I was okay, etc. When Adam is drinking, he is quite something. LOL. But, he did say to me, I guess because I had observed his drunk carrying-ons the night before, “wow, I was so exhausted last night and the drinking didn’t help. I’m really a nice guy.” I can only imagine how the shock of being out of the house contributed. I didn’t think he owed me an explanation, but I’m guessing he gave others the same explanation. He treated me somewhat like an aunt. (Except he doesn’t know me. Ha). Amanda was very sweet. One day at the elevator she asked me my age. I told her – 37. She said “wow, you look really young.” I’m sure she was being polite, but it was nice. Her mom was with her most of the time and her mom was as nice as she could be. I also saw Alex a lot. Hmmm. He was nice, but more like in a condescending way. I hate to say that, because I liked him so much on the show. (In the BY I asked about Sheila’s Alex doll and he thought it was funny). I had the feeling he thought I was uneducated or something....which I find annoying because I don’t care about anyone’s educational level. One night at dinner I tried to mention, when he was discussing college, my experience as an undergrad then a law student, but I barely got two words out when he switched the subject back to himself. I smiled and nodded as if I had no idea what any of the terms he used were.
I’m so busy trying to fit in everything, I’ve barely mentioned Janelle. One of the first things I told her was that I had no expectations beyond the finale and wrap party. I made it clear she wasn’t strapped with me and I wouldn’t hold her to the dinner that was part of the package. But she did just the opposite. She texted me every single day, throughout the day. One of the texts she sent after we met was “I’m so glad you won my auction. You’re great!” She called me every single day. She invited me everywhere she went. I went most places, but sometimes I would stay back. She worked out in the gym just about everyday with Amanda. I didn’t go with her to the gym, but she did invite me.
Janelle called me in my hotel one day to ask me to help her pick out dresses. I went to her room and I brought two of mine with me. Her dresses were fabulous, each and every one of them. I tried on one of her dresses (her least favorite) – I think it was a Versace. The bust line was way too low (like J-Lo’s dress at the Oscar’s the year she went with P-Diddy. Janelle and I are built differently – I’m several inches shorter– so it wouldn’t have fit her the same way.) Janelle said “go for it Ginger, you should wear it when we go out!” But I said “Janelle, I’m 10 years older than you. I can’t wear that! It makes me look like I’m trying to be your age.” And I didn’t wear it. But I still wore a dress, as my pics show, with boobage. LOL Just not that much boobage. Oh, that was the first time I met her dog, Bear. Bear is so cute! He was cuddled up on Janelle’s designer clothes in her closet.
The night after the finale, Janelle, Dick, Dawn Marie, and myself ended up at a burger joint in the Roosevelt Hotel. It was late and nothing else was open. We had a great time. The next day, Janelle texted. I had left the hotel to go to lunch with a friend of mine in L.A. and Janelle and I met back up when I arrived back. We went out that night with many of the HGs. First we went to dinner at Bubba Gump’s at Universal City Walk, then we went to a club at the City Walk. I had a great time. I met the casting director who has casted many of the Big Brother HGs, including Adam and Janelle. Talk about a super nice guy! Through the week, Janelle and I formed a friendship, and Janelle talked openly to me about anything and everything. Who woulda thunkit? (And yes, anything you would’ve asked, I asked. She answered everything honestly. And no, I won’t tell a soul anything she said about her personal life).
Janelle and I returned to Bubba Gump’s the following day, just us two. We brought Bear with us and ordered our food to go. When we arrived at the restaurant, Janelle asked if she could bring Bear in and the waiter said “no, we don’t have a dog permit.” This next part cracked me up. We didn’t know what to do, because we already had Bear, and we were just ordering our food to go, so Janelle said “oh, okay, well I’ll just bring him in as an accessory.” And she proceeded to walk right past the guy and sit on the bench in the waiting area. No one asked her or Bear to leave and we sat there and ordered and waited for our food. The server (who said Bear couldn’t come in) didn’t know who she was but it was obvious he was smitten with her. That’s why she could simply change it from bringing her dog in, to bringing an accessory in, and he didn’t said anything. In fact, he stood there and talked to Janelle the entire time. I did start to tell the guy that Janelle was on a TV show and she shot me a “don’t you dare say that” look and I shut my pie hole. I told her I was only going to joke around and she said “oh, you’re fine.” Whenever anyone asked what she did for a living, she never mentioned Big Brother.
By the way, in addition to working as a party planner, Janelle is starting a company right now. She’s in the process of finalizing her business plan, etc. I learned a lot I did not know about Janelle, including her studies abroad. She has lived in Russia. She is much more rounded than some people give her credit for. She had really intelligent and intellectual conversations with anyone who lived abroad about places I had never heard of. She is also very well informed about various religions and cultures.
The next day, we had lunch at the Hilton. We went to the wrap party late, at 8 PM, because we spent so much time talking at lunch. We did make it just in time to see the gag reel. I’m so short, I stood on a seat to be able to see it. You all have seen it by now, I’m sure. Everyone was busy taking pics, etc at the party. I saw Joey Fatone, but I didn’t take a picture with him. I did take a lot of pics, which I will post one day. I haven’t even put them onto my computer yet. The ones I posted on MySpace so far were from my camera. (I’m not great at using the computer, so I’m waiting for someone to put my pics online!). I also met Marcellas, Chicken George, and various CBS people. I met lots of people actually, but it’s all a blur at the moment. One of the CBS people left me for a moment and came back with a Big Brother restroom sign. (Just said Big Brother, restroom, with the logo, and an arrow pointing to the restroom). Awesome, I’ll put that in my home theater. Oh, Alex approached me and handed me an autographed head shot of himself and a CD. I ate steak, salad, and fondu strawberries. Yum. There isn’t much more to say about the wrap party. It was over before I knew it.
I had to leave the following morning. Janelle had a limo bring me to the airport - this time it was a Cadillac Escalade limo. She and I were still texting and both of us almost missed our flights because the lines were so long at LAX. The last time I saw her, she said “I hope we remain friends a long time. I just love you.” It was so nice for her to say, my eyes would have watered up if I was the crying type. I wondered if I would ever hear from her again, even though I knew she was sincere. I just figured she was busy and I knew I wouldn’t bug her. But, she has texted me and emailed me regularly since I’ve been home. She’s still sharing things with me about her life and asking my opinion, and saying how glad she is we’re friends. I feel the same way, but I guess that goes without saying. In sum, Janelle, the real person, is one of the most beautiful, funny, down to earth, open, and sincere people I’ve ever met. I never dreamed of knowing the Janelle away from the feeds (I only watched the feeds her seasons and almost all my JU posts were made during that time) but she far surpassed any expectation I had. I bid on a chance to go to the finale, and what I received instead was priceless: A friendship.

Bikini barista celebrates long run on reality TV series
Family, friends surprise Natalie Cunial, who starred in 'Big Brother'

Former "Big Brother 9" contestant Natalie Cunial thought she was just visiting her aunt Sunday in West Salem.
But Cunial's family and friends had arranged a surprise party welcoming home Salem's nationally known bikini barista.
Her aunt and uncle own Julia's Tea Parlour, and when the 28-year-old stepped into the party room, she was greeted by shouts of "Surprise!" and "Welcome home!"
"You tricked me," she said to the group of supporters. "I should get used to this, especially after 'Big Brother.' They tricked me, too."
Cunial was referring to how she got on the show. After three months and more than 1,000 interview questions as a candidate for the reality TV show, CBS officials told her in January that she was a finalist.
She showed up at the set, expecting a few pictures and more grilling, only to learn she was more than a finalist. She had been chosen as one of 15 people to live in the "Big Brother" house for the show's ninth season.
She moved in Feb. 7.
