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

Natalie

Natalie Lynn Cunial (born November 7, 1979) was a bikini barista from Salem, Oregon and is of Italian descent. As a kid, she moved around a lot, during high school she lived in Alameda, California, Salem, Oregon and Mililani, Hawaii. She attended Chemeketa Community College in Salem as well as The Art Institute of Las Vegas in Nevada. She previously won the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic Oregon. Her soulmate for the series was Matt. The two were aligned with Amanda & Alex in the early weeks, until the two couples were nominated together. While in the house, Natalie was seen as ditzy and dumb, and was often times called degrading names including "hoe" and "slut" by Chelsia and Joshuah. Despite numerous HouseGuests disliking her, Natalie often spoke about being positive throughout the situation. Natalie was very vocal about her belief in God while in the house, and later went on to form the "Team Christ" alliance with Ryan, Adam, Sheila and Matt. She often expressed romantic interest towards her partner, Matt, and went on to give him sexual favors in the house. Both during and after the season, it was a running joke that Natalie was obsessed with Matt. Matt & Natalie won the first Power of Veto of the season, and chose to leave nominations the same. They were nominated the second week against allies Amanda & Alex, but survived the eviction in a unanimous vote. They were nominated for a second time the following week, but won their second Power of Veto competition and used the Veto to save themselves. During the fifth Head of Household competition, Natalie made a deal with James that he would keep both Natalie and Matt save from eviction if she allowed him to win. He agreed to the deal, and Natalie let him win. Despite his promise, James later nominated Matt, which led to his eviction on Day 42. She went on to win the seventh Head of Household competition of the season, her third win total and first win as a single HouseGuest in the game. She nominated James and Joshuah for eviction, and later nominated Sharon as a replacement for the Veto winner James. Joshuah was evicted that week. In the ninth Head of Household competition, Natalie agreed to let Sheila win the Head of Household competition in exchange for safety for that week. Despite the deal, Sheila later nominated Natalie that week. On Day 70, Natalie was evicted after Sheila cast the tie-breaker vote against her. She was the fifth member of the Jury, and voted for Adam to win. She came in 5th place.
