Every time Matt (I can't get myself to seriously write "Matty"--blech) says "Baller" it sounds like "Paula" to me. Several times during tonight's show I thought, "Huh? Who is Paula?" And I even used to live in Boston!

I really love watching the feeds when it is the guys alone together just hanging out. I didn't have brothers and I find the banter hilarious between these guys. To me, Ballers mannerisms are funny as heck.

I missed out the info about Adam's car accident and how it affects him. Can someone fill me in on this?

I thought they were calling him "A" baller. I also thought maybe it had something to do with his pocket hockey habit. LOL I didn't think of drugs at all, although now that you mention it, I think I've heard of an "8 ball." OK, maybe I thought they were boosting his prowess with women at first, but then I was thinking when they were talking last night and Natalie said it was weird that guys stick their hands in their pants and what would they think if women did it all the time and I got the bright idea that's why they called him "A Baller."

It is "A baller" But normally just Baller, pronounced Ballah (8 Ball is a measurment of cocaine, but from what I have heard has nothing to do with his nickname) I didn't know he was in a car accident, would also like to hear about it if anyone heard that story.

Adam was talking about his accident on Fridays show (I think, my days are all mixed up). He said something about his face was peeled back and he had to take strong pain meds just to get to sleep every day. I didn't hear much more then that.

There was another clip where they are playing pool and you can hear Matty ask Adam about his meds and Adam tells him they won't let him have them like that. BB told him he couldn't be distributing them like a pharmacy in there anymore. They were talking in reference to the pool party they had when they were all drinking and making out. Not sure what kind of meds he was referring to, but apparantly he was caught sharing them.

I have never seen a man scratch/touch/rearrange his privates like this guy. It almost makes me itchy watching him. Does anyone in the house say anything to him?? I wonder if he has something that makes him itch constantly

Pamy, if he's on pain medication, it could be making him itchy. Or, ya know, he could be checking to make sure it's still there.

I don't really get it but I seem to remember early in the show they announced and apparently Adam even showed and confirmed he was uncircumcised and that's why they call him baller.

Having a foreskin does not make you itchy, nor does it make you re-adjust a lot. My bf is Orthodox Catholic, and I've been with him for 6 years now; he rarely readjusts, and when a guy is readjusting, it's usually to do with where the *ahem* shaft is placed in relation to the *ahem* balls, and NOT to do with the foreskin. (Sorry for the sex-ed class, but I just hear so many misconceptions related to being uncircumsised.)

LOL - Very educational Eeyore. Whatever causes him to do this, it has nothing to do with not being circumcised. Many people in America have quite different views on circumcision than people in many other countries.

I also dated guy that wasnt circumcised so I am aware Adam's itching/rearranging has nothing to do with that I just find it strange that no one says anything to him. If he was constantly doing that in front of me I would say something.

I know a couple of men that do this, my standard observation to them is "there are medications for that" lol. My brother used to constantly readjust I asked him once if he was afraid it was going to fall off or something.

I don't know if this was already posted..but here is some info on Adam that I had not heard (or know if true). The person says that he did not tell the truth about his job. http://boards.cbs.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?msg=52105&nav=messages&webtag=CBSBigBro8MB

Whenever a guy is spending too much time down there, I usually ask, "Shall I leave you two alone for a bit?" and motion to his hand on his junk.

Well, Orthodox translates (in Ancient Greek) to "true faith". However, those who call themselves "Orthodox Catholics" are not Roman Catholics and there are various sects that go under this moniker, with beliefs ranging from very liberal to very conservative. Adam is turning out to be one of my favs! Aside from the "retard" comment, he's always been pretty solid. I actually have a psychology degree, and know that that term is actually used medically and translated from French roots, simply means "slowed down", but the social connotations are simply too ingrained to go throwing that term around in public. Whoops. Anyway, other than that, he's been awesome in this game.

Adam has definitely grown on me more. I like him much more now than I did in the beginning.

I really like Adam, he is real. And it really made me happy when he stressed in front of Matt that he was the fifth vote to keep James, it was nice seeing Matt squirm. Baller was not letting anyone take credit for something he did! The house should have more real people it would make for a much more entertaining show.
