I think the juror prize'll go to Jerry, especially after his exit. People will vote mostly right after the show and that'll swing them.

Glad Dan and Memphis' plan worked. It sure was risky at times. I think Dan still made a couple mistakes that may cost him the grand prize by a vote. But I imagine most viewers--those not in the house--would agree that of the two, he should win.

Did Evel Dick marry his daughter?

BTW, kudos to Brian for predicting that Memphis would end up in the final 2 in the exit interview with Chenbot 2+ months ago.

matta

Yeah, they can't stop people from getting married and combining bank accounts, or from Evel Dick buying an "investment property" and Daniele moving in, but I'm sure there's something in the contract they sign that prevents them from transferring wealth from one person to another.

Otherwise, the final part of the game would turn into "well, if you give me your vote in the jury, I'll give you $50,000"

FYI

CBS doubleheader day so there is around a 45 minute overrun. Clip/recap show tonight though.

matta

that's good. They have 30 mins to get my cable back on.

JuryDuty

Sweet! I always LOVE the clip show and...

Ah, who am I fooling? I'll be happier to watch the 60 Minutes my Tivo caught because of the game instead of this... :P

Cellar Door

Just finished watching the clip show (luckily I padded my DVR setting). It was actually pretty good! There were a few scenes that hadn't been shown before or were shown in extended versions tonight:

* A sock puppet show when Brian was on the block.
* Renny doing impersonations of other houseguests was hilarious! Then Dan doing a Renny impression was icing on the cake.
* The talk show with Dan as the host.
* Swim Club was really cute. (Dan teaching Renny and Ollie how to swim)
* Dan and Keesha's brother/sister relationship

You can see how Dan really spent time building friendships with most of the houseguests. He should win the prize easily, but who knows?

matta

Well, I'm glad it sucked. They never fixed my cable.

Edit: damn it Cellar Door.

Groucho

I'm sure there are a torrent of places you can view tonight's episode if you just wait a bit. Including NBC.com.

JuryDuty

OK, I have to admit, it wasn't a bad clip show at all. Pretty entertaining to my surprise.

This was my impression, too. I think if Dan can truly convince the Jury of all he's done, he might be able to win it just because he really did have relationships with almost all of them--and lighthearted ones, at that.

Patman

I'd forgotten what a douche Jessie was, but glad the clip show reminded me of his doucheness.

Needed a whole summer of Keesha in her bikini, too bad such attire was few and far between.

April and Libra were psychos in the house. Good drama, but wouldn't want to live with them inside the BB house.

Cellar Door

No kidding! What's up with that? In the past, the BB producers have always readily taken advantage of showing the houseguests when they are showing off their bodies (Jen, anyone?). And from what I understand from people who watch the live feeds, Keesha has been in her bikini numerous times. And yet we've barely seen glimpses. I don't get it.

I really wish we had been shown Jerry walking into the jury house tonight. I would love to see April's bitch-face when she realizes she has to vote for either Dan or Memphis. Maybe we'll get that Tuesday?

JuryDuty

We'll probably get that Tuesday. Usually they show the Jury house welcoming the last member along with a roundtable discussion of each person's pluses and minuses.

Interesting though that there's a lot they didn't show this season. There were very few vignettes like they showed on tonight's clip show (usually there's several a week). Maybe there was so much strategy and drama this time around they just didn't have room for it. We only started getting them when it was down to four.

mrpayroll

Damn, no wonder I didn't record the episode, I still had my dvr tuned to CBS!

I'm an idiot. CBS and NBC switched local affiliates some 10 years ago and I still get it mixed up.

Dan for the win! TheRealityRock.com has a sweepstakes going for a $25 Amazon gift card if you can predict who wins and how the vote goes. Here's the link to the sweepstakes for those interested http://forum.therealityrocks.com/trr...p?topic=334.10.
I'm going with Dan for the win. Dan and Renny really made this season enjoyable.

magiccmom

Count me in as another one who really enjoyed this season! I liked the gameplay and was glad the seasons of degrading conduct and sleaze wasnt repeated. It seemed like semi normal people (with a few exceptions!) playing the game again. I'm glad it is down to Memphis and Dan, who really do like each other and are having as much fun as they can in the house. I predict Dan for the win, think he deserves it, but I dont count Memphis as a floater. He played the game also, just in a much subtler way. He had made alliances with Keesha, Jerry and Dan for the finals.

mrpayroll

For those of you that only had access to the CBS shows 3 times a week, you are correct in saying that this was an entertaining season, without having to resort to sleeze etc.

But for those of us that watched After Dark, this was by far the most boring season of the 3 that they have shown. There were only a couple of flare ups during the season which we got to see live and most of the time they were sitting around talking, not doing much.

Big Brother US needs to take a page from Big Brother UK, which just wrapped up 2 weeks ago. I watched over 80 daily episodes (45 minutes each) and was rarely bored watching them. Big Brother UK usually gave them tasks everyday that they had to complete in order to win luxuries (booze, cigs, food, etc) and it was quite entertaining to watch. One of the final tasks was having the houseguests (male & female) dress up as female cheerleaders and perform a cheer. The men dominated group actually won that one.

And Big Brother US needs to get off their cheap ass high horse and let the houseguests listen and sing to music. The UK houseguests were able to sing (whether it was bad or not) and got to listen to music piped into the house almost everyday. It was refreshing to hear that, plus it energized the group.

But one thing that Big Brother UK doesn't allow like the US does, is the kind of treatment that Evil Dick gave to the other houseguests. Any type of over the top physical or especially verbal threats were met with immediate expulsion from the house. Two houseguest were evicted for either spitting on another houseguest or verbally threatening another.

Big Brother US needs to shake things up next year and give the show a fresh direction. They need to fire the existing Executive Producers and bring in new blood.

That kind of behavior would have gotten Dick expelled from the house in an earlier season.

But it's painfully obvious that the producers were protecting Dick and Danielle, so he pretty much had free reign to do as he pleased without consequences.

magiccmom

No surprise on the winner. Dan was a charmer. Memphis just didnt have the answers to sway anyone for his vote. They said he didnt win anything, but he did win POV when he needed them most. Very happy with the winner. Not happy that Jerry came in 2nd in the voting for America's Favorite Jury. I wanted either Keesha or Renny. Renny wants to be a star. I'm glad that Jerry, April and Michelle were called out about taking things to a personal level. I just wish they called Ollie and April out about their showmance and their methods of Birth Control.

mwbmis

They probably weren't allowed. Brian and Steven talked so much that Angie didn't even get a chance to talk.

I didn't care about Jerry finishing second in AC b/c I honestly thought he was going to win. That would have sucked. I was sure Renny and Keesha would split votes. So given his show edit his finishing second was probably the best possible outcome.

Dan absolutely killed in jury questions. Memphis didn't have a shot after that. As for Memphis winning POV...well, he never won one that Dan didn't want him to win. I'm pretty sure Dan could have beaten him on that puzzle, and we KNOW that Dan really won that last POV.

leeta

I think Renny's entrance was hilarious. Had to be the loooooonngest in BB history.

And probably took up Angie's time... It would have been nice if they had asked Steven what he thought about Keesha getting Angie out of the house.

JuryDuty

The fact that Dan won by a landslide just proves how much they edit this show for viewers. It sure looked like there was no way April was going to vote for Dan. Glad he won though.

I also think we got a VERY short version of Dan and Memphis answering jury questions. I'm curious how much Dan revealed about his gameplay, throwing competitions and coming up with ideas Memphis followed.

Loved Brian calling the jury out on their personal vendettas and how that killed the game for them. I don't think they heard a word he said, but he was right on.

mwbmis

They had to show someone talking up Memphis. I thought it was pretty clear from the jury meeting that it would be landslide for Dan. His explanation for putting Michelle and Ollie in the jury house as enemies was fantastic. In the end he made everyone feel good about voting for him.

I know they didn't reveal the "Renegades", which was another of Dan's ideas that Memphis followed along with. If you reveal the Renegades you might piss off Keesha and Renny, who along with Libra were clearly Dan's strongest advocates. Keesha was still of the opinion that Memphis eliminated her b/c Dan might take her instead of him (and vice/versa).

It was kind of funny that Brian did that (I'm sure it was planned...they just happened to have that Jerry montage ready to roll), but I hate that he just called out the people who got bad TV edits. That was easy. Everyone did it, including Brian. And while I am in no way defending the words/actions of April, Jerry, Ollie, etc, I thought it ended up sounding a little hypocritical.
