Adam
Adam Jasinski (born April 30, 1978) was a public relations manager from Delray Beach, Florida. Adam has a master's degree in fashion design/marketing and has attended Camden County College in New Jersey, Parson's School of Design in New York and Fashion Art Italy in Italy. He became the center of controversy when he made a comment referring to autistic people as retards which ultimately got him fired. His soulmate in the game was Sheila. He was commonly referred to as "A-Baller" in the game, and had good relationships with numerous people in the house. His closest ally in the game was Ryan, and he had a close friendship and alliance with Natalie for the majority of the game. He and Sheila were nominated against Ryan & Allison in the third week, but the two survived the ultimately fake eviction against Allison & Ryan. Adam was the sixth Head of Household of the season, and nominated Chelsia and James, with hopes of evicting the former; Chelsia was evicted. He then won the eighth Head of Household, his second consecutive Head of Household win. He nominated Sheila and James, ultimately leading to James's eviction. He was nominated by Sheila the following week, but won his first Power of Veto competition and saved himself. He went on to win the second part of the Final Head of Household competition against Sheila, but lost to Ryan in the last part. Ryan ultimately evicted Sheila from the house, taking Adam to the Final Two with him. On Day 81, Adam was crowned the Winner of Big Brother 9 in a six to one jury vote. As of October 20, 2009 Adam Jasinski has been charged with possession of and intent to distribute oxycodone after trying to sell 2,000 pills of the painkiller to an undercover government witness, according to The Associated Press. He was arrested after he flew to Boston and showed the witness a sock that contained two plastic bags filled with oxycodone. Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration then arrested the reality star after a slight struggle. According to an affidavit, the reality show champ admitted to using the $500,000 he won on Big Brother to fund his drug purchases. He said he'd been selling the drugs along the East Coast for the past several months, according to the AP. Jasinski faces a maximum of 20 years behind bars as well as a possible $1 million in fines.

Famous quotes containing the word adam:
“Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines; I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.”
—Martin Luther (1483–1546)
“Let those talk of poverty and hard times who will in the towns and cities; cannot the emigrant who can pay his fare to New York or Boston pay five dollars more to get here ... and be as rich as he pleases, where land virtually costs nothing, and houses only the labor of building, and he may begin life as Adam did? If he will still remember the distinction of poor and rich, let him bespeak him a narrower house forthwith.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?”
—John Ball (hanged 1381)
