List of Big Brother 9 (U.S.) House Guests - Joshuah

Joshuah

Joshuah Michael Welch (born June 3, 1982) was an advertising media buyer from Dallas, Texas. Joshuah is of Irish descent and has a bachelor's degree in advertising, with a business minor, from the University of Texas at Austin. He is gay and came out to his family when he was 18 years old. His soulmate for the series was originally Neil. On Day 7, Neil walked from the game due to a personal matter, and Joshuah later chose to replace him with the previously evicted Sharon. Joshuah had a close friendship and alliance with Sharon, Chelsia and James. He made numerous personal attacks towards Amanda and Allison while in the house, which included joking about Amanda's father's suicide and attacking Allison's looks. He and Sharon won the second Power of Veto competition, and chose not to change the nominations. They went on to win the third Head of Household competition of the season, and succeeded in evicting Allison from the house. In the seventh week, Joshuah was nominated against ally James by Natalie. He was ultimately evicted on Day 56 in a three to one vote. He was the third member of the Jury and voted for Ryan to win. He came in 7th place.
