James Zinkand

 was a Houseguest on Big Brother 9. James was the first male player since Kaysar Ridha to be voted back into the game, however like Amy Crews, James was voted back in by his fellow houseguests, a vote that was between him and fellow Houseguest Alex Coladonato (whose identity remained a mystery to them).

James became a huge threat upon his return, winning one HOH competition and three consecutive Power of Veto competitions. He ultimately placed sixth, becoming the fourth member of the jury where he voted for Adam to win over Ryan. James's "soulmate" in the game's twist was Chelsia Hart. James won the $25,000 America's Choice Jury Prize at the end of the season.
