Adam Jasinski (born April 30, 1978) is the winner of the U.S. series Big Brother 9. Jasinski is a public relations manager from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Jasinski has a master's degree in fashion design and marketing, and has attended Parson's School of Design in New York City, Camden County College in New Jersey, and Fashion Art Italy in Prato-Florence Italy.[1]

Big Brother 9

On Big Brother, Jasinski was paired with Sheila Kennedy. Jasinski won part two of the three-part final "Head of Household" competition. At the finale, Jasinski became the winner of Big Brother 9 by a vote of 6-1, defeating fellow houseguest Ryan Quicksall and earning the $500,000 prize. Jasinski received votes from Matt McDonald, Chelsia Hart, James Zinkand, Natalie Cunial, Sharon Obermueller, and Sheila Kennedy. Jasinski only lost the vote of Joshuah Welch. He played a great game and said afterwards "only if they knew how easy it was to win it all! I would love to do it all over again and really share with the diary room and America my strategy. I was very skeptical therefore held back from everyone watching what I was truly up to!"[citation needed]

On October 4, 2010 Jasinski appeared in U.S. District Court in Boston, Massachusetts and pleaded guilty to charges of possession with intent to distribute Oxycodone and failure to file a tax return for the year he won the $500,000 prize on Big Brother. Jasinski was remanded to custody. In what has been described as an ironic twist, Jasinski’s lawyer said she planned to recommend a sentence of house arrest.[6]
