'Big Brother 9': OMG!

So Natalie is HOH on Big Brother 9, and you know why? Because God wanted it, God is on her side, God loves her, etc.

I've long gone on record that God's probably a tad too busy to care about the outcome of reality TV shows (especially the second-tier ones), and I still believe that. I'm not saying don't ask for strength or clarity if you need it or whatever, but Natalie and her alliance naming themselves "Team Christ"? Nuh-uh. No. Come on. Give me a break!

No one gets out of this game without lying and backstabbing, and naming your alliance in such a game after Jesus is just plain crazy talk. Plus, these potty-mouthed, self-absorbed "houseguests" aren't exactly shining examples of Christianity. Or much of anything else.

But whatever.

In the end, Natalie put James and Joshuah on the block. But tomorrow's POV competition could change anything, so why ruminate on that for too long?

About Sarah Kelber

Sarah Kickler Kelber, an editor in the features department since 1999, got sucked into reality TV with the first episode of MTV's The Real World in 1992. Then came Survivor and American Idol, and suddenly, the genre was everywhere. She started blogging about it for The Baltimore Sun in January 2006 and has logged more hours watching and writing about such shows as Dancing With the Stars, Big Brother and, of course, Idol, than she'd like to admit.
