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

Ryan

Ryan Quicksall (born September 16, 1980) was a college student from Columbus, Ohio. At the time of the season, Ryan was attending Ohio State University and was majoring in economics and business. Before entering the house, Ryan had a romantic relationship with Jen, who was also a HouseGuest this season. Despite their relationship, the two found themselves partnered with other people; Ryan's soulmate for the series was Allison. Ryan had strong friendships with Adam, Matt, Sheila and Natalie, and later became a member of "Team Christ" with them. His partner, Allison, was involved with a lot of drama in the house, leading to Ryan having a poor social game towards the beginning of the season. Throughout the season, however, Ryan improved his gameplay. In the fourth week, Ryan won a $10,000 prize during the Veto competition. He was initially a target during the first few days after Sharon convinced Parker that Ryan was talking bad about him, which wasn't true. Due to Jen being Parker's partner, however, she revealed their relationship to him and the couple kept Ryan safe. When the house found out about Jen and Ryan's relationship, they were nominated together on Day 7. On Day 14, Jen & Parker were evicted from the house. Allison later got Ryan into trouble when she upset Joshuah after lying about being a lesbian. Allison & Ryan were initially evicted on Day 28, but a twist in the game saved Ryan and Allison was evicted as a single HouseGuest. Following this, Ryan won the first single Head of Household competition, and managed to evict James from the house. Minutes later, however, James was voted back into the game and won the following HoH competition. He nominated Ryan for eviction, but ultimately Ryan's ally Matt was evicted. He went on to win the eighth Power of Veto competition, and successfully helped evict James from the house. He won the tenth Head of Household competition, as well as the tenth and final Power of Veto competition of the season. This makes him the second person this season to win both competitions in the same week, along with James. Ryan won the first and last rounds of the final Head of Household competition, and chose to bring Adam with him to the Final Two. On Day 81, Ryan was crowned Runner-Up to Adam in a six to one Jury vote.
