We Go Backstage At The BB9 Finale
The Cameras Stopped Rolling But The Fighting Sure Didn't
LOS ANGELES (CBS) ―
It was, as can be expected on "Big Brother," a season rife with unexpected twists, turns and backstabbing. And you would think the bad blood would have ended when the cameras stopped rolling.
No such luck.
CBS2.com went behind-the-scenes after the finale was shown on CBS primetime Sunday for all the scoop on who was doing what, how the vote came down to give Adam the lopsided 6-1 victory, who likes who, who still can't stand who and what various housemates thought of their season and how they were portrayed.

'Crazy' James Talks Gay Porn, Chelsia Adam's On Cloud 9 Following Win Jen Opens Up About The Bathroom Sex
Chelsia On Her Wild Goodbye Amanda Tells Matt Off! Matt Insists He's No 'Player' Natalie Tells When She Knew 'It' Was Over Joshuah Talks About Being A Villain James Extra (Once Isn't Enough) Sheila On Hating, Loving Adam Amanda Is 'Bueno' About Life Sharon Goes Under The Radar Who's Hotter: Alex Or Matt? Does Ryan's Hope Involve Jen? Alex Loves That America Loved Him Parker Dishes Being 'Almost' Famous Allison Reflects On Her Mistakes Jacob On Being The First Out James -- The Tatts TV Wouldn't Show Secrets From The Producer
Unlike previous seasons when the entire cast gathers at finale time and puts bygones aside, the backyard was rife with tension. Parker went off discussing his feelings for Sheila who he thought put him down numerous times when he was out of the house. Chelsia said derogatory things about Natalie. And Ryan made it clear that there is no love lost between him and Parker.
And Joshuah, the outspoken gay guy who many viewers felt crossed several lines (including mocking Amanda and making fun of her dad's suicide) was feeling the emnity of Amanda and Allison. Matt, the roofer from Boston who was coasting along until a lie to James cost him big time, basically admitted "all" the women in the house hated him. With some of the stuff he shared with us about the women in the house, hmmm, maybe some of them have good reason.
Sorry, Matty! We promised not to tell...too much.
Matt told us that Natalie wrote him a 6-page letter while in the jury house expressing her feelings for him. "She will be my friend for life," he said, "but soulmate? Nah! Not me."
CBS2.com spoke with the entire cast (save for Neil who was a finale no-show) and asked them the kinds of things the fans wanted to know: Did James know the gay porn video would come to light? Did Chelsia know about it? (She didn't!)
And there's more. What will Adam do with the money? Did Ryan have the in in the bag until he blew it was awful answers in the final roundtable (we say yes!) Will Amanda ever forgive Joshuah? Are Parker and Amanda having a thing? Is Natalie over Matt? Will Sheila hook up with Alex? And are Jacob and Sharon, those wacky kids who have been together for 12 years (years!) going to make a go of it.
Ah, and we even got a sneak peek into the creative mind of executive producer Allison Grodner about "Big Brother 10" and the decision behind some of the casting of the out-there season 9 cast!
Here we present the cast dishing the dirt and getting a lot off of their ample chests.
