BB9 Week 10 recap - "The ultimate bromance"

Ryan wins HoH on a tiebreaker after answering fact or fiction questions. After one question reveals there's an existing relationship still in the house, the houseguests start theorizing that maybe Sheila is Sharon's mother or Ryan's aunt. Little do they know, the question was actually referring to the guinea pigs.

Sheila and Adam promise to save eachother, but Sheila isn't sure if Adam is going to be loyal to her. Ryan is losing trust in Adam too, as he caught him telling Natalie he voted for her. Sharon meets with Ryan to try and get Adam on the block.

Ryan nominates Sharon and Sheila. Ryan's goal is to get Sheila out, but Sharon wants Adam gone. Sheila and Adam have to be shackled together after losing a luxury competition, giving Sheila lots of new reasons to be annoyed by him.

The PoV competition is to match the houseguests faces to two categories, and Ryan wins it. Adam wants to make a deal with Sharon that he'll keep her if she takes him to the end, and when Sharon hesitates, he gets suspicious she might have an alliance with Ryan. Sharon tells Ryan about the deal, and now Ryan is mad at him.

Ryan decides not to use the PoV, meaning Adam will cast the sole vote. He evicts Sharon from the house, not only surprising Sharon, but Sheila too.

The first part of the final HoH is to stand on a jetski and brave a torrent of water. Ryan and Adam's taunting makes Sheila drop. Adam then throws it to Ryan, as part of the deal they made before the last eviction: Adam gets rid of Sharon, Ryan gets rid of Sheila.

The second part of the final HoH is to maneuver balls out of a maze with a guinea pig wheel. Adam beats Sheila and moves into the final round against Ryan. Adam and Ryan celebrate having made the final 2, but Ryan is taken aback at how confident Adam is at winning.

The third part of the final HoH is to guess statements made from the jury. Ryan beats Adam and is the final HoH. Making the final eviction, he sends a tearful Sheila out of the house.

The final 2 face the jury. Ryan says he thinks he was as honest as he could be. Adam says he played a well-balanced game. Ryan is asked about his role in Sharon's eviction, and denies wanting her out. Adam is asked if he deserves to win after throwing so many competitions, and Adam says that the game is not just competitions.

By a vote of 6-1, Adam wins Big Brother 9.

When the results are revealed, the houseguests are all scared Natalie has won due to her enthusiasm, but she is handily defeated by Adam.

Sheila makes Adam promise that she won't have to break a tie, even threatening to put Ryan up if he doesn't. Adam takes himself off the block at the veto ceremony, and Sheila nominates Natalie.

Adam and Ryan host a house meeting to determine what Natalie has promised to who, and she claims her true loyalty is to the guys. So now they're considering keeping Natalie, which annoys Sheila.

The PoV competition is to bring numbered rocks to Otev. Crazy James narrowly escapes elimination in the first two rounds, only to fall out on the third question. With just Adam and Ryan left, Adam agrees to let Ryan have it.

Ryan is annoyed that Natalie is playing both sides, leading Crazy James to propose that he doesn't use the veto and they work together. But in the end, Ryan saves Sheila with the veto, allowing Adam to finally put Crazy James on the block.

Crazy James makes one last argument to stay, and that's that he is the only one that can take out the biggest threat left: Natalie. Ryan would need Sheila to be on board to make a move, and Sheila considers it, since Natalie is telling the girls and boys she wants to stick with both of them.
