Interview with Big Brother 9 Winner: Adam Jasinski

Reality TV World conducted a sit down interview with Adam last night, and with their permission, we've got it here for all of you to read!

By Christopher Rocchio, 04/28/2008

Adam Jasinski thought he had a good chance of exiting the Big Brother house as the ninth-season winner, but didn't want to get his hopes up too high.

Thanks to some strategic moves he made during the game and his ability convince the jury he deserved to win, the 29-year-old public relations manager from Del Ray Beach, FL shouldn't have sweat it as he claimed Big Brother 9's $500,000 prize by a 6 to 1 jury vote over Ryan Quicksall during last night's live finale broadcast on CBS.

On Monday, Reality TV World spoke briefly Adam with about his various strategies in the competition; how he regrets using the word "retards" while conversing with some other houseguests; why he's surprised at the attention the "Freudian slip" has garnered; how he may not have carried his former "perfect-match" partner Sheila Kennedy, but did have her back; and what he plans to do with the prize money.

Reality TV World: Were you confident you'd win the jury vote against Ryan? Did you think you'd win by such a large margin?

Adam: Landslide victory, wasn't it?

Reality TV World: Yeah, was that surprising?

Adam: Not really in a sense. All week long, I was telling Ryan, "Look buddy, I think you're going to win." I didn't want to be overconfident myself. I knew that if I had a chance to speak to the jury that I would win them over. I'm a good speaker in the sense that I can drive a convincing argument. I think I did. I had a gut feeling that I was going to win the show, but I didn't want to get ahead of myself throughout the week. I hate to be let down.

Reality TV World: So you did have a strategy in approaching the jury when answering their questions and delivering your final statement?

Adam: A complete strategy. I put myself in other people's shoes. You can tell what they're going to ask. I knew [James Zinkand] was going to ask me competitive-wise versus Ryan, who won more competitions. In a sense, that question did phase me a little bit because it got me to justify that point to the jury.

I pretty much made one huge end speech, then dished out portions of it throughout the Q&A. Then whatever was left I summed it up in my key points and close it off with a nice little finale.

Reality TV World: So both Joshuah Welch and Sheila accused you of letting Ryan do your "dirty work" during the game.

Adam: The blood was on his hands.

Reality TV World: Exactly. Was that part of your strategy and do you think it ultimately helped you win?

Adam: It was completely part of the strategy. At the [third round of the final Head of Household competition] I definitely did not throw that. I was in it to win it because I felt that would have sealed my fate winning the game if I won that competition. There would have been no question about it. But it worked. Whatever happened, it worked anyway.

Reality TV World: Okay, so you didn't throw the third round of the final HoH competition? Hadn't you told Ryan you'd evicted Sharon Obermueller for him so it was his turn to [win the Final HoH and] boot Sheila for you?

Adam: Listen, you've got to do what you've got to do to keep key people in the game. The fact that Sheila remained there, I knew that Sharon had something with Ryan going on. So I made a last-ditch effort -- and it worked -- to keep Sheila in the house. If she stayed, I knew either way I was going to the finals.

Reality TV World: Okay, so when you told Sheila you weren't taking her to the Final 2 if you won, that was part of a strategy to try and ensure Ryan would take you to the Final 2 if he won?

Adam: Yeah. But I had to make a bargain with Ryan in the sense that why would he want [Sheila] in the house if I'm going to go with her? Why not keep Sharon? Because he would go with her. It worked well for me that I got to keep Sheila in the house.

But part of that deal was I'd throw the first part of the competition and let [Ryan] go to the final round to play for [himself] to win. I also told him I would throw it for him just to give him extra incentive -- I guess you could say -- for keeping Sheila in the house. Ultimately, him screwing over Sharon got me another vote.

Reality TV World: So had you won the final HoH, would you have taken Sheila with you?

Adam: That's a question I've been asked over and over again. It's all in theory. Either one of them I think I could have beaten. Ryan did take me further in the game and I felt a little more obligated to him because bottom line, Day 1, Ryan was there with me -- as long as Sheila was.

But I think it would have been great for TV and the whole premise of the program -- not that I'm trying to create TV and all -- but just the fact that it was couples, it was a season of love, Til' Death Do You Part. It would have been interesting to actually have Sheila in the end with me.

Reality TV World: During your first couple of weeks in the house, you made a comment that Sheila objected to in which you called children with autism "retards." Do you regret having made that comment?

Adam: I absolutely regret saying that. It's a heat of the moment thing. It was not my intention whatsoever to use that word out of context.

Reality TV World: I'm assuming you've already been made aware of this since you left the house last night, but that comment sparked a strong reaction outside the house. What's your reaction been to learning of all the viewer complaints, some autism organizations like Autism United calling for the show's cancellation and United Autism distancing itself from you?

Adam: I didn't hear much about it. I just got out of the house yesterday. But I heard there was a HUGE response to it. But it's not my person to do anything like that. For people to even think that I would be talking bad or putting down -- I don't even understand how it got to such a level.

Reality TV World: What would you say to those critical of you for calling children with autism "retards?" Are you apologetic?

Adam: Do I apologize? Yes I apologize! I mean it had to be a Freudian slip because that word's usually never in my vocabulary -- especially with the job I was doing, and ultimate, it did cost me my position.

Reality TV World: Okay, so the comment cost you your position with United Autism?

Adam: I'm not sure about that right now. I don't know what's going on with that, but that thought ran through my mind. That's why I brought the topic up, I don't know. But just hearing now all this impact that it could have had, obviously you have to question that yourself. But no, I don't know what my position is right now.

Reality TV World: In light of what you've learned since last night, do you still plan to stand by your pledge to donate $100,000 of your $500,000 winnings to United Autism?

Adam: Would I do it right now? Yes. Eventually I would like to sit down with the families in the foundation and see what can go about. It's a huge tax break, so I have to figure out what I feel. Is it worth it for me to give up the money? Of course I'm going to give some of the money to charity. Of course I'm going to follow through with my word. The matter of what I'm going to do with that money now, I still have to figure those things out.

Reality TV World: When you told Natalie Cunial that you were the one who voted to keep her in the house after she was evicted, were you hoping that would help your standing with her for the jury vote? If so, do you think it played a factor in her voting for you to win?

Adam: I was panicked at that point in time. (laughing) It was a heated moment, intense. I buckle under pressure sometimes, and I guess I didn't intend to do that. It might have [played a factor in Natalie voting me you to win]. I'm not sure what my thought process was right there at that time.

But I knew [the jury would] find out eventually as more houseguests left, I knew they would let her know who voted who, regardless. But yeah, I probably thought at that time that would be a sure vote for me.

Reality TV World: Do you stand by your statement during last night's finale that you carried Sheila throughout the competition?

Adam: I mean, come on. Sheila states over and over and over again that she played a part in this somehow. What is she thinking? Really Sheila, you took a target off my back? There was never a point in the game where someone won a competition and I was at risk. I mean it's not that I carried her, three or four times she could have gotten put on the block and I got her off.

James was going to put her on the block. When it was between Ryan and [Matt McDonald for eviction], James said, "I'll pull her down so you can get the blood on your hands with her when you boot her out of the house." When Ryan and [Allison Nichols] got split up -- when the couples split -- Ryan was going to put her up when they put Sharon and [Chelsia Hart] up. He was going to boot Sheila out of the house then! I saved her.

It's not like I carried her. We did make the Final 3. It's crazy how it's Ryan, Sheila and I -- the team that went from the floor all the way up to the top of the house in a sense.

Reality TV World: You already touched on this a bit, but why do you think Ryan agreed with your plan to get rid of Sharon and keep Sheila going into the Final 3? Was it as simple as he knew that since you were the only one voting, he really had no choice?

Adam: He could have made Sharon do the dirty work. But there was a risk of me going out of the game. [Editor's Note: Since Ryan was HoH and held the Power of Veto that week, he could have taken either one of his original nominees -- Sharon or Sheila -- off the block and replaced her with Adam.]

I had him convinced ultimately that I was the best person to go to the end with because he could probably beat me and nobody else.

Reality TV World: During the Final 4 "Fact or Fiction" HoH competition won by Ryan, the final question claimed that there was still one "pre-existing relationship" in the house....

Adam: Yeah, that was a nice twist, wasn't it?

Reality TV World: Yeah, I was going to ask if you thought it was a fair question since it was referencing a relationship with the house's guinea pigs.

Adam: I think when Ryan won HoH it was a fair question. (laughing) I mean it's Big Brother man. Expect that stuff. They always throw things out there that are just straight goofy. (laughing) I think it was completely legitimate. They're guinea pig sisters. How cute!

Reality TV World: Did the houseguests ever learn of the answer while still in the house?

Adam: We did. They gave us a little Chinese dinner -- Big Brother hooked it up. There was a little note in there, and it happened to come at an opportune time because the reason I wanted Sheila and I to split is because they thought we were together. There's only so much you can tell them and these ideas are running through their heads. The letter came that said, "Congratulations on your final week in the house. [Signed] The other couple in the house, the guinea pig sisters." It totally helped me out big time.

Reality TV World: How were you cast for Big Brother and were you still employed by United Autism Foundation at the time?

Adam: I was absolutely employed over there -- that's why I wanted to go on the show in the first place! They hired me, I was working there for a few months. I was doing great in my position, I had the Ultimate 500 Championship [fund-raising] event -- it was a carting challenge -- and a bunch of different other things I was doing at the foundation. I really found myself comfortable over there and then I got the call from Big Brother, and I took a leave from there in January to do the show.

Reality TV World: So what's next for you? What else do you plan on doing with the $500,000 -- you mentioned wanting to start a business? What type?

Adam: I'm a business man, completely. I had a few businesses in the past as well -- some of them worked and some of them didn't. But I have a few ideas that I can put some cash towards on a few projects as well. So yes I'm going to start a business; yes I'm going to donate to charity; and yes I'm going to do the most with the money as I possibly can -- for both myself and the community.

Adam is the Winner of Big Brother 9!

Another season of Big Brother is in the books, and Adam is the winner of the half a million dollars, as almost the entire jury house voted for him over Ryan. The finale was a good show as usual, that saw the evicted houseguests return, and share their feelings on the season, and the 2 finalists, Ryan and Adam. In an unexpected twists, viewers were told that they had the chance to vote for their favorite jury house member, and the winner would receive a $25,000 prize. Following Adam's win....it was announced that James won the vote, so he got an unexpected surprise as well. We had a great moment where Julie questioned Jen and Allison on not liking each other, which was fun to watch, as Allison called Jen out on all the things she said about Ryan during the show, and Jen brought up all the things Allison had said during the season that Jen had seen on the live feeds. Overall, everyone seemed Happy that A-Baller got the cash, and seemed to think he'd do good things with it. Now that Big Brother 9 is wrapped up, we've only got a short period of time to cover the aftermath of the show and on this seasons cast, before we're ready to roll out our coverage of Big Brother 10, which is only a couple of months away! So stay tuned here to BigBrotherFansBlog.com as we cover all the aftermath of BB9, and roll right into this Summers BB10!

Big Brother 9: The result of having two meatheads for the final two. Ryan and Adam rip on Sheila.

9:00pm Bros around the Big Brother house:

Adam is telling Ryan he next time he gets called into the diary which will be soon he’ll have Sean to talk to. Big Brother yells “stop that”. Adam starts talking about people from home and Big Brother yells “stop that”. Adam starts singing and Big Bother Yells “stop that”. They’re talking about how their plan was Ryan and Adam Final 2 since April 1st. They start to rag on Sheila, they accuse Sheila of being a former drug addict and Adam thinks he could have hit that shit a long time ago. He says Sheila put her puss in his face at one time, he couldn’t smell anything. Ryan asks “Why didn’t it go down?” Adam says he was laying face down getting a boner but Big Brother called Sheila to the Diary Room. He says Sheila was rubbing his hair and he kept sliding her puss in his face. Ryan claims that if he wasn’t with Jen he could have gotten with Sheila too. Ryan says Sheila tried to kiss him and get on him so he would use the POV on her. Adam says Sheila is a whore and an easy lay. They think Sheila has been with 150 dudes.

Big Brother 9: The Final Three are set.

Last night many of us bawked as the live feeds shut down from coast to coast for several hours. All we knew was that someone was about to be evicted and then Part One of the final HOH comp would begin.

Shocking most of After Dark fans, myself included, we found ourselves all tuned in to find out what was going on, but instead we were slapped in the face with a previously recorded amount of time from earlier in the day.

Fast forward to this morning, or for some of you night owls, late last night. We find out Sharon has been evicted, by a vote of 1-0 from Adam. Adam promised Ryan that if he could evict Sharon and keep Sheila, then he'd let Ryan win final HOH.

So it was down to Ryan, Adam, and Sheila in Part One of the HOH. It was an endurance competition, which saw Sheila fall out earlier than usual due to her feminine issues she is having. It was then down to Ryan and Adam, and as Adam has promised earlier, he let Ryan win Part One.

So now tonight, Adam and Sheila face off to see who will go up against Ryan live tomorrow night, to determine A. who's going home, and B. who will be the final Head of Household. Make sure to tune in to CBS, After Dark on ShoToo, and the 24/7 live feeds, which are now airing for free for the remainder of the season, to stay up to date with all the late breaking deals and swerves inside the house. There's only one week to go, until we crown the winner of Big Brother 9!

Big Brother 9 Live Update: Natalie Evicted, Final 4 is Set!

This week's Big Brother just wrapped up, and to the shock of Natalie, she is gone from the Big Brother House, after just last night she was told she was safe by Ryan and Adam. The Bible buddies changed their vote numerous times last night, but finally decided to split their vote, so that Sheila would be the one to have to officially send Natalie out, so that the boys would still have Natalie's jury vote. Natalie was obviously shocked when Julie read that the vote was 1-1, and had a tearful exit from the house, and claimed she was mad at both of them since she was promised by them both that she was safe. I'm sure she also will not be voting for Sheila to win it all if by some miracle Sheila made it to the end. We also got a look at James' arrival to the jury house, where he verbally cut Chelsia in half by telling her that he was targeted and evicted solely based on her harsh words as she exited from the house, which sent Chelsia to her room in tears, but James eventually got over it I guess, as he was back all over her shortly after. The HOH involved fact or fiction questions, and sparked a controversy that will no doubt be the subject of conversation all week. The last statement was "Jen and Ryan, and Jacob and Sharon were real life couples in the house, but there is one MORE previous relationship in the house. Ryan was the only one to answer FACT, which turned out to be right, which has set the house off wondering who the other relation is.....but the viewers at home were told at the bottom of the screen, that the other relation is........... the guinea pigs! So yeah, Big Brother really started something there. Anyway, Ryan is the new HOH, so the Bible buddies have the advantage going into the final 4 of Ryan, Adam, Sheila, and Sharon. Things are winding down, as next week, the final HOH will be crowned, and things are shaping up now, and we're getting an idea who will battle it out to win it all.

**Here is video of the guinea pigs defining moment in the HOH competition......

Big Brother 9 Update: HOH Competition ends....

She chipped her tooth on the way down, but you're winner and NEW Head of Household....



for the first time....


THE SHE-BOT....


BIG SHE....


SHEILA!!!!!!!!!!!!

BB9 Live Update: James Finally Evicted! Endurance Comp. is Ongoing!

James has finally been evicted from the Big Brother house after many weeks of the Houseguests attempting to get rid of him. In a 3-0 vote, James left the house without hostility, and seemed ready to be away from the group in the house that he didn't like. We also got a glimpse of the sequester house, and saw Chelsia and Josh arriving with Matt already there. It seems that the hate is still there for Natalie from Josh and Chelsia, so they're going to be very unhappy to see James walking through the door next. Matt on the other hand, is hoping Nat wins it all, simply because he knows she'll "buy him something nice," LOL. After the ceremony, the Houseguests headed outside, to find the third endurance competition of the season. They are currently hanging in glass boxes, suspended in the air. As the show ended, Ryan was sweating profusely, and Sharon was claiming she felt like she was about to lose it. The competition seems made for Natalie, but Sheila did not seem too bothered, but it would still be considered an upset if anyone other than Natalie won this one. As Julie stated, the only way to see the end of the competition, is on the live feeds. So if you want to see who will be this weeks Head of Household, check out the 14 day free trial of Big Brother 9 Live Feeds!

Big Brother 9: Big Gay Josh is OUT, Big Balla Adam is IN!

James voted to evict: Sharon
Sheila voted to evict: Josh
Ryan voted to evict: Josh
Adam voted to evict: Josh

EVICTED = Josh

Josh didn’t go nuts, but instead gave some pseudo-inspirational bullshit speech to the house. Dude needs to figure out that he's not that inspirational. No one really cares, Josh.

HOH = ADAM

A-BALLA wins it again! Dude laid low for 8 weeks, and now he's running the show. I predict Balla for the win. Too bad he won't get rid of god damn Natalie.
