List of Big Brother 9 (U.S. season) houseguests
Sheila Kennedy (born April 12, 1962), 56, was a former model from St. Louis, Missouri. She had a 16-year-old son named Mick and a dog named Kitty. Sheila was the 1983 Penthouse Pet of the Year. She lived in Bob Guccione's mansion for ten years and was in the process of writing a book about her life at the time of the season. Her soulmate for the series was eventual winner Adam. The two had a rocky relationship, and frequently argued in the house. Sheila took offense to him calling her "Ma" the first night, though the two later became good friends. She formed a strong friendship with HouseGuest Allison in the first week, and the two later concocted a story about being lesbian lovers outside of the house, as they believed Allison would be leaving that week. They later revealed that the story was indeed a lie. Sheila was known for being dramatic and confrontational in the house, and had arguments with HouseGuests such as Jen, Allison, Matt and James. She was nominated in the third week for eviction, along with partner Adam. On Day 28, however, the couple survived the eviction. She was nominated in the fifth week against Ryan, but was later saved after James used the Power of Veto on her. She was nominated in the eighth week by Head of Household Adam, but was later saved by the Power of Veto and replaced by James. Sheila was the ninth Head of Household of the season, and later cast the tie-breaker decision to evict Natalie from the house. The following week, Sheila was nominated against Sharon, but her former partner Adam ultimately cast the sole vote to keep her. Sheila was evicted on Day 77 in the house, after Ryan won the final Head of Household competition and took Adam to the end. She was the seventh and final member of the Jury, and voted for Adam to win. She came in 3rd place.
