Ryan Quicksall was the runner-up of Big Brother 9. His "soulmate" was Allison Nichols, although Ryan had been dating fellow HouseGuest Jen Diturno outside of the house. Ryan was spared from eviction during Week 3 through a "fake eviction" where the soulmates were split up, resulting in his partner, Allison, being unanimously evicted in a 6–0 vote. Ryan only received one vote to win the game from Joshuah Welch.
