JEDI HOWIE hangs out w/ Schree and Baby

James to Star on His Own Reality Show?

Big Brother: Crazy James to Star on His Own Reality Show?

Big Brother 9 has certainly opened a lot of doors for James Zinkand, who earned $25,000 as “America's Favorite Juror.” Previously, he has hinted that there's a possibility that he would be co-hosting House Calls for the much awaited Big Brother 10, which is set to premiere on July 13. Now, it seems that the live internet talk show isn't the only project in the cards for this 21-year-old high school graduate.

Besides his pink hair and crazy antics (hence the name Crazy James), this reality TV contestant is known for his incessant quest to bike around the world with just $100. Since Big Brother is already over, James is determined to continue his journey. This time, however, he's going to be followed by the cameras.

“A reality show that is about me biking on $100 dollars,” James told jokersupdates.com. “[It's about] showing people that there is alternative ways of traveling… think survivor man in the city… all over the world. I just want people to have fun.”

Interview With Big Brother 9 Winner Adam Jasinski

RealityShack

After surviving the danger of almost being eliminated first, Adam walked away with the whole game. Here he talks about how he pulled that off and what he would have done differently.

Congratulations on winning Big Brother 9! The general consensus among viewers (judging by the message boards) was that you were a lock once you got to the final four because you played such a smart game. Were you as confident in the outcome as we were?

You know, you always worry. You have to. Ryan definitely played a great game, there's no question. But I was pretty confident about the way I played the game. No matter what happened in the end, walking out of the house one of the last two, never getting evicted, I felt like I had already won regardless who the jury gave the money to.

Going in, did you have any idea they were going to spring the couples twist on you guys? And looking back - do you think the couples twist helped you or do you feel you'd have won regardless?

I think the couples twist probably helped me, when I look back. I was really able to take that initial negativity and turn it into a positive for myself. It was kind of the spark that set my game in motion. I don't know what would have happened if the whole game was singles from the get.

Just to get this out of the way - I know you've expressed regret about your unfortunate word choice that was aired early in the season. Everyone misspeaks occasionally, but lucky for us we don't have our every word recorded and dissected. Were you surprised at how controversial that became?

Nat's chat from 5/21

This was my first time trying to record a chat, actually it was my first time IN one of the "Interview" chats. The audio didn't come out so well, it's very scratchy. However if you would like to listen to it, I uploaded it to Youtube. She talked for over an hour (they don't call her Chatty Natty for nothing) but I didn't get to record the last 10 minutes or so.

Here is the first of 8 parts...

All finalists for BB 10 have been notified

BlogTalkRadio Interview With Sharon

James' Blog Post

The Mystery of Life and the Exploration of the Unknown.

Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.

It has been nearly two weeks since I have completed the TV show. My life has forever been changed. My person and my soul has now been created into a character. My feelings toward life are still the same but I tend to wonder has my course been affected. I have still not left Los Angeles to return for my bicycle trip, yet I have been offered to create my bicycle trip into an adventure for all to see. I love all the people that support me for me. It's hard to encompass how much passion people still have for the right to live. So many people are telling me that they have sold their belongings and are now traveling. It feels so damn good to know people are exploring this world. It's massive and its lands and people are something everybody needs to see.

Since I have been out of Reality TV world it seems like I have entered a very surreal life. I have to ask myself "How did I get here?" and each step I make could lead me to a very different path than the one before. I understand that this was the case before I got involved with this TV bullshit, that every step and action has a positive and negative reaction. I just have to amplify the positive in hopes of achieving more positive. I have to justify why I am doing certain things such as staying in Los Angeles for an extended period of time. I think I can do a lot of good right now. But than again maybe its a pipe dream. But your soul knows where to lead you. You can feel sometimes the energy pull you in the direction you need to go. I am officially letting the positive energy pull me just as I did on the bicycle trip.

James versus Matt for House Calls?

Big Brother 10 House Calls

Since 2004, House Calls has returned for every season of Big Brother. The live internet talk show presently hosted by Gretchen Massey that focuses on the events in the Big Brother house as well as taking phone calls from viewers has become quite popular in the reality TV circuit as it paved the way for other internet talk shows like Survivor Live for Survivor, Elimination Station for The Amazing Race and Talk Model for America's Next Top Model.

In the due course, however, the format of House Calls has changed to include a featured guest host alongside Massey. For Big Brother season 9, Massey co-hosted the show with Big Brother 8 winner "Evel" Dick Donato, runner up Daniele Donato, season 2's "Bunky" Bill Miller and Kaysar Ridha, who appeared on season 6 and season 7 of Big Brother. With the premiere date of the new season of Big Brother fast approaching, CBS has reportedly set its eyes on two former houseguests that might possibly host the upcoming season of House Calls.

Nothing official has been declared by the network. On the other hand, James Zinkand, who won $25,000 in the recent season as “America's Favorite Juror,” has hinted in a previous interview with realitynewsonline.com that there's a possibility that he would be co-hosting House Calls for the much awaited Big Brother 10, which is set to premiere on July 13.

Living in the Big Brother House

Hi friends!! Since I'm having a hard time replying to all your emails, thankyou for all of them by the way. I've decided to write a few blogs about me and my experience on Big Brother 9

Living in the Big Brother house was the most exciting yet toughest thing I've ever done in my life. I'm so honored and blessed for Big Brother to give me a chance to just be me, meet america and try to win 500K. I will never forget this experience for the rest of my life, so many great memories:) While living in the house I felt alone and yet thers cameras everywhere so you know your not alone, but you still feel alone. Thank God for Adam and Ryan being in the house they sure were nice and fun to be around:) Sometimes the boys and I would sit around and discuss how many people were on the live feeds or watching on tv, we never imagined life like this with all these fans!! I think i even said 10 at one point! Haa way more than that:)LOL. It really doesn't feel like people are watching even though you are aware of the mic and camera's. Sometimes you'd hear the cameras move , follow you...kinda creepy. I love it though:) Get use to it after awhile, no big deal. One big, long slumber party!

I loved being on Big Brother 9! Out of all the seasons I audition for Big Brother 9 and am chosen after a long process! Thankyou God and BB for the experience of a life time. So many great times to share. Some of my favorite compitions are the disco ball endurance comp which lasted 5 hours. I figured I might as well live it up and chill because when am I ever gonna hang on a disco ball like this ever again, might as well enjoy the ride while it lasts. The very first power couple competition was a total adrenaline rush, first night on tv , competeing, partenerd up with someone you've never met, I loved it. The POV angel and flyer comp is another one of my favorites of course! Me and Matty were on the block and had to win. If not we'd be going home. It was such an elaborate and beautiful set. I loved flying in the air, so much fun. My all time favorite moment in the bb house is playing hide and seek with Adam, Ryan, Matt, Joshuah. I watched them online they are absolutly hysterical. I had no idea my knee was sticking out that bad....I mean that was just bad, alot of knee...the whole knee. Meanwhile the boys are pretending to look for me and guessing where I am. Im thinking great they have no idea where I am I better stay still. All of the guys are laughing saying pranks on her this time, hahahah very funny guys. Their right it's hilarious:)

Stay tuned for more later...thankyou,

Natty

An Interview with Big Brother 9’s Sheila

“I Truly Thought I Played a Good Game”
by David Bloomberg -- 05/19/2008

Sheila was somewhat of the odd person out in Big Brother 9, as she felt like the house mom compared to the other kids on the show. How did she manage to make it so far? What was her strategy and how was it affected by the couples twist? What does she really think of Adam? And what about Joshuah? Sheila had plenty to tell us in this exclusive RealityNewsOnline interview, so read on!

It took Sheila a little longer to talk to RealityNewsOnline than a few of the others (Adam, Joshuah, James, Matt, and Parker), but she had some more settling in to do than they did, as she was of course the only parent among them. But when we sat down to talk, Sheila had plenty to say.

RealityNewsOnline: You and Adam could easily have been the first couple booted, if it hadn’t been for Jacob’s stupid move. But you and Adam both made it as two of the final three. To what do you credit that turnaround?

Sheila: Honestly, I think it was people were really targeting the stronger couples and couples that were getting along and basically seemed like they were teammates. And Adam and I were not. It was really a joint effort for Adam and I – the fact that we didn’t get along and the fact that the target was off of us after Jacob’s move. He definitely saved us. Honestly, we just were kind of like, we were no longer the target – it was the stronger couples that were winning competitions and basically getting along. Adam and I didn’t.

RNO: When did you first realize that not getting along would be to your advantage?

Sheila: Probably after the second week, when Parker and Jen were evicted and Amanda and Alex were evicted. I knew that that point, all the really strong couples are going and people who seemed to be a threat. So probably the second week into the game, I realized that we had to keep up this façade.

RNO: How annoying was Adam over the first few days?

Sheila: On a scale from 1 to 10, 11. The thing that people don’t understand is that I was offended by what Adam said about the children, so it was very difficult for me to even want to stay in the game. I was ready to be evicted. Did Jacob save us? He did. But I was ready to walk out of the game after what Adam said and did.

RNO: What did you think of the news when you came out of the house that he had been fired?

Sheila: I thought it was the right thing to do. I felt Adam really – there is no sour grapes with Adam, I think deep down inside he’s a good guy, but I think it was the right thing to do. Adam had claimed he only worked for the foundation for five months and he was using it as a tax write-off. He was telling the other houseguests if they wanted to donate to the foundation he could get them a tax write-off.

Even at the end, I wanted to help him out, and I would have if I really felt that was real. But after what he said about these children, I was questioning whether he even worked for this organization, because it was such an insensitive statement. I’ve heard through the media and haters of me, they felt like I made a bigger deal of it, but I don’t think I did. I think if it happened again, I’d do the same thing and call him out on it like I did.

RNO: When do you think the relationship changed to something resembling friendship? Or was it all strategy?

Sheila: It changed the minute we became singles. I realized I could play the game with him, but in a separate situation. The minute we became singles, people were still targeting people as couples – they couldn’t get over that, they couldn’t wrap their heads around people being couples. And it made sense because it was a forced situation.

I really felt it was unfair that we were playing as couples from the beginning of the game. It forced us to be in an alliance with somebody we really didn’t want to be in an alliance with. But I had the best partner because I knew he was a strong player and a good player. He was throwing competitions and he really was flying under the radar. And he had good relationships with everyone in the house. Not necessarily with the females, but with the males.

RNO: Did you have a specific planned strategy coming into the game?
