I don’t mean Ian winning Big Brother 14.. Although I know that most of us are just thrilled about that! Of the two, Dan and Ian–though Dan played a phenomenal game in some ways–It just goes to show you can’t treat people the way Dan did, and expect to be rewarded. Sure, he won $50,000.. I mean, that is an amount of money that none of us would sneeze at. Still, I think in Dan’s eyes…It’s a loss. He wanted to win. Period. End of Story. And now– he’s going to have to deal with the fallout that’s sure to follow.

I’m not one of those people who thinks the game should follow people into their lives. It’s a GAME, people. And it’s over. And…..in the end, evil….Even Evil GENIUS…did not win out. Let’s let go of the anger and disgust. The man will have enough of that, and he did make this season a heck of a lot of fun to watch. You gotta give him that.

So—CONGRATULATIONS IAN!!!! You’ve come a long way, baby!!

Our wee Ian started out like this…a kid.

and ended up like this, a handsome young man.

I’m happy for the little guy and wish him all the luck in the world! GO IAN!!!

PS- It was pretty clear who was gonna win, since every time Julie started to pull a vote for Ian, you could see Britney and Shane cheering in the background. Poor Dan only got one…Danielle’s… Awww…

BUT—when I said we did it.. I meant… OUR FRANK WON AMERICA’S FAVORITE!!!

Say what you will, but I know.. I KNOW…we all had something to do with that!! Lots of other websites couldn’t stand Frank. And if a commenter dared post a pro-Frank comment–they were lambasted. But not us, guys.. we saw the merit in his play. We agonized for him. And it looks like so did a lot of other folks. So let’s give our guy a final ovation..

YAYYYYY FRANK!! WE HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK SOON ON ALL-STARS!!

It was a fantastic Finale, wasn’t it? There were so many great parts, I have a hard time choosing my favorite. I GUESS if I’m pressed, I’d have to pick the moment where we got to see the look on Danielle’s face when Ian revealed that Dan had given Ian his grandfather’s gold necklace as collateral he’d take him to Final 2. That. Was. Priceless.

Don’t have a pic of it yet- but it looked a little something like this…

;

So.. For the last and final time this season, I want to say THANK YOU!!!!!! To the best, the coolest, the sharpest, most astute, rocking, KICK-ASS Big Brother Fans in the GALAXY!!! The Bigbigbrother.com Readers!!! You Guys ARE my Big Brother and I can’t wait to hang out with you next year!

For now- let’s eavesdrop on our families-(and see if they still remember us.. ) I hate to say goodbye, so I will only say… FAREWELL!!

PS– Here’s MY dream-team for All-Stars!

(And shhh- just from the interview Jeff did with Frank–it sounded like it wouldn’t be comPLETEly out of the range of possibility…Hmmm…)

We’ve endured a lot of seasons in which long periods of time pass, where you wanted to rip your eyeballs out, at the level of inactivity, the lack of gaming. That didn’t happen this year. This season was all game. All the time. And for that I say…Thank you BB14 players.

The reason this game is so different from any other reality show on TV, is the level of OUR–the viewer’s–participation. In no other show, do we have the unprecedented level of access, through the Superpass Live Feeds. It’s  virtually impossible to spy on people in every aspect of their lives, and not get a very accurate glimpse of their true characters. Fans who watch only the CBS show, learn only what the producers and the network want to reveal. They skew events and conversations into what they WANT you to think.

We FEED VIEWERS know the truth. We SEE them. And we report it to the rest of you.

Tonight we say goodbye to a truly epic season. A season which drew out a level of emotion from the viewers we haven’t seen in some time. Our emotions ranged hard between love and hate, disgust and admiration. It will be hard to let go. As the BB HG’s go back to their own lives, so do we all. Again, hard to say goodbye.

As for the winner, I think most of America hopes for a Dan/Ian Final Two. The Dan fans vs Camp Ian will be waving their flags high in the air tonight, as we watch the uber-smooth Coach try to pull in votes with a practiced, timed speech. That in itself may be his downfall. If the Jury feels like they’re watching “THE FUNERAL 2.0″ it may turn them off, in favor of a blushing, realistic plea from the nervous nerd.

I know I speak for all of us when I say…..ANYONE BUT DANIELLE… And we’re all waiting for the moment when the noxious nurse ‘gets to steppin’ to take her place in the jury. As to her tainting abilities…..THAT should be a hoot.

And now we say goodbye. Again, I want to express how much fun I’ve had with you all this season. Without you, this site would be nothing! I hope you’ll join Auntie Janet again same place, same time next year…You are my Big Brother Heroes!

For the last time- I give you a FEED VIEWERS look at your FINAL THREE….and their true characters…

UPDATE:  SORRY! I just HAD to share this one snippet of conversation from yesterday.  Danielle kept asking Dan and Ian what kind of man they can see her marrying– what kind of personality she has–what other players they’d compare her to…. ON and ON and ONNNNN..

At one point, Dan told her that (get this) He’d compare Danielle to a cross between Jordan and Dani Donato!!!!  I thought— Yeah…. Maybe in the ghettos of Bizzaro World..  Sheesh…

With only the sorry remnants of the “Quack Pack” to entertain us, we turn our thoughts to the end game. We’ve already discussed who we think will win the whole thing–but not who should be awarded the last prize of the season…The All-Important…America’s Vote.

In years past, (up until Season 11) it was called the Jury Prize (remember those days?) And only those in Jury were eligible to win. That affects this season in a big way, as ex-all star and ex-America’s Fave, Janelle has a rabid fan base, who is likely–as we speak–jamming the phone lines with texts.

But come on people, think about it. Janelle went out fourth. Should she be rewarded for how she played in PAST seasons or this one?? And no matter if you like her or not, you HAVE to admit, her game play this season left a lot…a LOT… to be desired. For many of the same reasons people voted for Janelle in the past–winning comps when her butt was on the line–there’s another player that is MUCH worthier in THIS season…Britney also, is an ex AC winner. And though I was definitely NOT a fan on her original season, her game this year was a lot sharper. Plus, she’s funny as hell. But again…Gameplay??? Ehh…

BUT (and I think you know where I’m going with this) there is someone else who I am going to vote for. He was targeting from Week One. He had to win competitions over and over to save his own hide. In 9 weeks of play, he was either HOH or on the block. He never once….NOT ONCE…got to play as an ordinary citizen. When other HG’s were put on the block ONCE, they crumbled, acting weepy or salty as the case may be. Not him. Not Frank. He fought. Like the Big Brother warrior he was. All he wanted in the game was someone to work with. To trust.

Frank was saddled with Boogie from the get-go. It wasn’t a choice he made freely. And yet he did the best he could, playing with a person that everyone in the house disliked. That wouldv’e been a hard road to hoe for anyone. And finally, Frank came to the BB House with the all-consuming love and joy in the game that few other players this season can claim. Dan loves the game. But has he sullied it’s reputation forever? Ian also is a life-long devotee with a very good chance at the whole enchilada.

Of all the HG’s who made it into the house, only those three are true-blue, dyed in the wool BB fans. Like you. Like me. And since either Dan or Ian have a good shot at winning…..My vote goes to the other REAL Big Brother Fan left….Frank.

You do what you like, of course. Vote with your conscience. But if you are a real fan of this show, you’ll take all the facts into consideration and vote for who you think TRIED hardest. Who WANTED it the most. And who went through the most adversity.

Me? I know who I’m voting for: CLICK HERE TO VOTE

Now, I will say this–in the event that the F2 ends up being Dan and Dani (gag on a mouse-turd) Ian is also a likely contender.

The only news to report in the house, is one more stunt Dan is pulling–this time on Danielle. Last night (FLASHBACK 9:32pm BBT) Dan acted super-depressed in front of Danielle, telling her he knows he can’t win–and can’t possibly beat her–because of the “sh!tty” way he’s played. The duped Dani spent twenty minutes trying to pep him up, going on about how no one played a better game than him.

After she left, Dan looked up at the cameras with a poop-eating grin on his face and mouthed “I love this game.” His purpose, of course, is to have a reason NOT to take Danielle, if the dilemma presents itself. He can always refer her back to that convo, saying “Remember how I told you, I couldn’t beat you.”

*shakes head* Oh Dan, Dan, Dan….

It wasn’t much of one in the first place. WE saw through her, didn’t we? But Danielle’s “sore loser” side is coming out in such a momumental way, that even though in the past, I’ve been upset with Ian–if I could, I’d gather the little guy up in my arms and rock him. Though most of this is a plan by she and Dan. As Dani put it: “If you put me out, I will taint the Jury against you. If Dan cuts me, I expect it–so then I’d judge by speeches. If you think Dan will be nice to you in his speech, you’re a fool. He is gonna BURN you, Ian…You don’t even know. Whoever cuts me…I will ruin their game forever.”

Pshaw.. Yeah right. Stupid Danielle, you’ll have like two minutes to work your magic. Good luck with that. And as any proper Southern lady is taught by her mama as soon as she can talk…. As long as you use a certain phrase–you can insult anyone and it doesn’t count against you. Example: That Lucy-Mae’s baby is not very cute, bless her heart.  OR  Boy, Salli-Lou’s butt is getting bigger every day, bless her heart. So–I can say this with impunity...’Danielle, Sugah– I feel so bad for you, when you learn that America doesn’t view you as a ‘sweet’ girl in a Showmance. Oh no, honey. We think you’re a raving lunatic–Bless Your Heart–who is finally showing your true character.

After Danielle ravaged Ian, she then went in to talk to Dan about how much it will suck if she has to leave there with nothing but “cancer surgery” to look forward to. OOOOOOOO, I’d like to rip one of those fricken enormous zits right off her face!

Though it’s upsetting Ian and ruining his last few days in the house with her exponentially-increasing brattiness–I don’t think Ian’s buying it. And the way she’s treating him is only hardening his resolve NOT to take her if he wins. THIS too, may be part of Dan’s plan for his own safety, since he’s the one egging her on….

But let’s put that aside for now (cause until the F3 on Finale Night, it’s all moot anyhow) and talk about Jury Votes.

But before we do– I just want to say Thank you!!!! And tell you how much I enjoyed spending this season with all of you. If it wasn’t for you, the readers and commenters, this would be no fun at all! It’s been a wonderfully wacky year, and I hope you’ll come back–sign up with us for the LIVE FEEDS--(it’s your patronage of the FEEDS that keeps this site going) and join me next season–which is sure to be even bigger and better, as everyone is expecting an…….ALL STARS! But if it isn’t, I think we all hope to see a pack of all-newbies. Either way, I want you to know that I’ll miss all of you! And I hope to see you back next season, and that you’ll choose to spend it here with old Auntie Janet at Bigbigbrother.com. God Bless and have a safe, happy year! 

*wipes away tear*  OK–*sniff*–enough emotion..

Let’s get down to brass tacks…Historically, the Jury Votes for the best player. The one who was the “getter” in the “I got ‘got’ game.” But Dan’s behavior this season was so outrageous, that it could change the name on the key they place in the box.

As it stands now–here is how I believe the Jury Votes will fall out.

FIRST–People forget that when they aired the first  JH footage, Frank had JUST been evicted–and screwed over for the umpteenth time.

IF Frank’s the true Big Brother fan I believe he is–I think he’ll come around and vote for the best player in the end.

Joe seemed to be the most indignant over the emotional manipulations that Dan employed during the “funeral” I think he thinks Dan is a scumbag. (Well….) End of story…And he’s a single-minded enough person that he’ll think that if Dan wins and picks Danielle, that she would “deserve” the win for all she’s been through. I think Jenn will vote for Dani, too, since she is SERIOUSLY all about “girl power”…UNLESS Britney can make her understand. Dan’s dirty, no doubt about it, and most of his tactics (using the bible, particularly) were absolutely reprehensible and unnecessary, as I’ve said.

But you cannot argue with the results. (well you can–and should if you wish, actually.)

But here’s how I think it plays out–Debate!

Dan/Dani:

Ashley–Dan (see Frank’s vote below)

Brit–Dan

Frank–Dan (IF he can get over his anger-he’ll influence Ashley’s vote)

Joe–Danielle

Jenn-Danielle

Shane–Danielle

Ian–Dan (even if Dan picks Danielle, Ian will never choose her after the way she treated him)

Dan-4 Danielle-3

*****************************************************

Dan/Ian  (here it gets more complicated–since Britney is such a huge Ian fan)

Ashley–Ian

Brit–TOUGH one…argh….she’ll be the deciding vote here, I think.. And I just don’t know. Guess I’ll say….Ian in the end. She’s a sharp cookie and will see the genius behind the evil, BUT she loves Ian and Dan has won before…

Frank–Ian

Joe–Ian

Jenn–Dan

Shane–Ian (unless Dani’s ‘taint’ can work her magic–lol)

Danielle–Dan (no matter who cuts her)

Dan-2 Ian-5

*****************************************************

Dani/Ian (ugh, Geebus no…)

Ashley–Ian

Brit–Ian

Frank–Ian

Joe–Ian

Jenn-Danielle

Shane–Danielle

Dan—will vote for Danielle, though he probably would WANT to vote for Ian. But that would be just TOO much, after all he’s done to that psychotic mess.

Ian-4 Danielle-3

Now–as I said…..I love you all—-now LET THE DEBATE BEGIN!!!

Last night, right after the feeds came back from the HOH comp, (FLASHBACK–9:06pm BBT) and we learned that Ian won…Dani went off on Ian in a screaming rant to rival that of any worthy Banshee.

It was a masterful performance from practiced liars on TWO levels. First, the reason Danielle lamblasted Ian in the first place, is because of the scheme Dan cooked up –in which he’d celebrate in front of her–if Ian wins–and then she’d go off on Ian–threatening him with skanking his Jury Votes. Dan’s plan is to get Ian to throw the final HOH to him–convincing Ian that if he/Dan is the one who votes Danielle out, then she (and Shane) would vote for Ian. But if Ian votes Dani out, Ian might lose, whereas Danielle already “hates” Dan. Duh… I will say this for Ian–during Dan’s “celebrating” Ian asked “did you cook this up?”Second, Dan would then take Danielle instead of Ian.

They were good. Dan and Dani even had me fooled for a nano-second. Still, poor Ian was totally flustered and upset.

I don’t think it will work in the end. Ian may be naive, but I think he knows what’s what. He likely can’t beat Danielle. So, the scheme to get Ian to throw the Final HOH SHOULD fail.. SHOULD, I say, though Dani and Dan plan to hector the little fellow until finale night.

STAY STRONG, IAN….

Wanna watch all this play out on FLASHBACK?? Sign up here for the FREE THREE DAY TRIAL!!!!

Well it wasn’t “this guy.”

Sorry, I couldn’t resist–especially since Danielle was SO cocky about her “photographic memory” and the fact that she told Dan that” “it’s not that I’m worried about beating Ian in Part Two–I know I will– it’s that I’m worried about what you/Dan will do after I beat Ian.”

Well, nope! Sorry Toots. In Part Two of the Final HOH-which was (once again-and finally) NOT FACE MORPH , your real winner is……

That’s right, gang… IAN won Part Two of the final HOH!!  Which means he’ll face off against Dan on finale night…You can now unclench JUST a bit–at least till Wed. night. Ian’s already made it clear that he will take Dan, as he is certain the Jury hates Dan, and he is unsure if he could beat Danielle, since she’s so “loved.”

Here’s a description of the comp from Jokers…39 license plates, all black. 13 of the plates were real houseguests, the rest were bogus character tiles. You had to find the HG tiles (scrubbing off the soot) and put them in order. The tiles were placed on ledges and you had to climb between levels on ladders steps

You know Dan is going to try to work his magic. Gonna try to convince Ian to “throw” Part Three, so that Dan will be the one to “Cut” Dani. But let’s hope wee Ian is savvy enough to buy some anti-Mist spray, and refuse.

Though on the other hand…Dan acted thrilled for Ian, and whispered to himself that maybe he’ll just throw the final HOH to Ian, thereby leaving none of Dani’s blood on his own hands. In the meantime, Danielle sobbed her way through the house.

So–to the excitement of nearly everyone watching the show–the chances of a Dan/Ian F2 just went WAAAYYY up, and America can give a collective sigh of relief…

WOOT! Wanna watch the last three days play out on the *COUGH COUGH* FREE THREE DAY TRIAL OF THE LIVE FEEDS???? then SIGN UP HERE! It’s gonna be a loooooong nine months till next Season!

In the meantime…Keep your positive thoughts focused on this image. Next up, we’ll talk about Jury Votes..

Cause Danielle informed Dan last night, if he “screws her over” she’s going to blow. Oooooooo…. Did you feel the cold shiver of someone walking across your grave??

Oh she’s scary all right. EXTREMELY scary. But just not in the way she thinks. And it’s Shane who should be afraid…at least in four more days…RUN Forrest RUN!!

Last night, after an evening of play-time,

Dan and Danielle settled down to a very uncomfortable chess game, where Danielle grilled Dan over and over as to why he did the things he did. Why he “backstabbed” her. Dan finally explained (between chuckles that infuriated the increasingly dumbfounded Danielle) that when she talked him out of getting rid of Shane during the DE, it was the worst decision Dan had made in the game. Dan: “Look at you, you’re still walking around in Shane’s sweatpants. You wouldn’t have ever evicted him. When I had another shot at Shane, I had to take it. Now I control the game.” Dani: “Well, I’m wearing his sweatpants (which fit her pretty well…just saying) cause 1–I’m cold and 2…*crickets*” Dan, smirking… “See?”

After that, Dani finally seemed to calm down, and yet she grumbled on about how she has nightmares that she will go out third. (Nightmare for you….Beautiful dream for the rest of us.) IAN/DAN F2!!

Dan told Danielle that even if Ian wins the second part of the Final HOH (which should play out tonight and will most likely–I know I’ve said this three times now, but COME ON, they HAVE to play it–be the Face Morph comp) he will be able to get Ian to throw Part 3. Well, I don’t think Ian would do that–at least I hope he won’t– UNLESS Dan can convince Ian that he/Dan needs to be the one to cut Dani. Which he won’t. But since Dan is pretty certain both the remaining HG’s want to take him, I’m pretty sure Dan doesn’t care who wins the Final HOH in the end.

In the course of ten minutes, Danielle told Dan:

1. I gave up surgery on what they think is Breast Cancer to come here. {oh! It’s cancer now and not scar tissue…omg–don’t make me come in there and smack that bun off your head-you psycho-liar}
2. Well, I will probably win Face Morph anyway, since I do have a photographic memory. {ugh…just ugh..}

The Dan mist. They need to figure out how to bottle it. I’m betting there are a lot of third-world dictators that would pay billions for the green, slimy substance that’s roiling around in that brain. Even Ian was digusted. And he got saved!

And yet–on the opposite side of that, is an evil genius so keen it’s frightening.

After Ian “fell” (though he later told Dan he threw it) Dan was able to talk Danielle into throwing the comp so easily, it was almost comical. You could literally see the Mist wrap around her with its long, tentacled fingers.

Wanna get a FREE THREE DAY VIEW into the house and get to see the aftermath of PART TWO of the final HOH??

The look on Danielle’s face when Dan ruthlessly and with malice aforethought evicted the witless Shane will go down in the annals of some of the best moments in Big Brother history. We’ve said that a lot this season. But the thing is–it’s all true. Dan’s gameplay is without equal. I think Shane said it best….”Dan’s just a dirty player.” And yet again….wow.

But the question now is….What will the Jury think? Will they punish Dan–who will most definitely make it to F2, btw–no matter what kind of grumbling and scheming Danielle and Ian do together. They are both still playing Dan’s game, parroting the words he put in their mouths. Danielle will take him. Ian also, will pull out his Renegade card and unless something really bizarre happens…It’s almost in the Jury’s hands.

We’ll talk more about the Jury specifically later, once the next comp is done, but for now….I stand in awe.

And your winner????

In the comp called “Hook, Line and Sinker” DAN HAS WON PART ONE!!

 OMG YES! I HAVE to see this! Give me my FREE TRIAL of the LIVE FEEDS right NOW!! 

Boy! This has so, SO many ramifications– and I am going cross-eyed with fatigue.. Suffice it to say that it was one of the most uncomfortable comps ever in the history of the game. Long post with all the deets in the am!

Sleep tight, my Dahlings!

PS–If you didn’t get the LIVE FEEDS this year– this may be the ULTIMATE time to try the THREE-DAY FREE TRIAL!! *Ahem.. (Three days…FREE… TRIAL…I’m just sayin’) After tonight’s Live Veto Meeting and Live Eviction, we’re going straight into the Part One–Endurance–Portion of the Final HOH Comp of the year. Don’t you want to witness that??

You know, as much as you may hate his tactics, if he pulls this one off, Dan will be… without a doubt…the most savvy, cunning Big Brother player in all of the 14 Seasons the show has aired. If it happens, I don’t think we can doubt it any longer.

Sure–he did some dirty, dirty dealing. No doubt about it. And he’s the one who’ll have to answer for it to the big man upstairs one day… But dang… as far as GAMEPLAY goes–all morals aside–he’s kind of a genius.

And I think it will happen. I believe he’s actually convinced Danielle to use the veto. Pull Dan down. And put the hapless Shane up in his place. THAT won’t come as a shock to Shane, bless his heart. But what happens when Dan casts his sole vote- and Julie comes on to tell Shane his time in the house is done? Depending on what Danielle did or didn’t know–this could be the biggest double blindside of the year. And Shane??? I mean COME ON MAN. You’ve SEEN what Dan has done to others. The second you heard the words “I’m going to use the Veto on Dan” come out of Danielle’s mouth, you should’ve been on your guard.

And hey–mayhaps he was?? Maybe that’s what the tongue was all about this morning? Hmmm??

Why Shane and not Ian? Well, looks like the little love-fest of the last couple of days has made up Dan’s mind.

He knows Dani’ is obsessed with Shane. He’s teased her about it all season. And yet, I believe that until recently Dan believed HE stood on the top rung of Dani’s F2 ladder. That her ultimate loyalty was to him.

Now I think he’s worried. Dan also has to realize–you don’t really know what an obsessed person will do if you try to take the object of their obsession away. It’s simple. He no longer trusts Danielle. He’d rather take his chances against Ian…And that’s just that, folks.

As for Dani’s part–I think… I THINK… she believes Dan will evict Ian. And that he concocted this whole scenario to help her, so that neither she–nor Shane–have Ian’s blood on their hands.

I mean, sure–Danielle’s mouthed stuff here and there about “playing the player” but that was BEFORE the date. BEFORE the smooch last night. I think the tide has turned for Danielle and in the end, she would choose Shane over Dan.

I could be wrong. I could be dead wrong and she actually is on the cut. But I just don’t think so. Still, she’s the one using the Veto–putting Shane at risk–so you draw your own conclusions there. Particularly in light of the fact that we have NO idea what she and Dan discussed in the hours before the Fast Forward. THAT’S the second-most important question of the day.

1. Will Danielle actually use the Veto on Dan?
2. Is she in on the plot to evict Shane?

Wow.. I’m more excited about tonight’s CBS show than I’ve been all season!! How about you??

As for Ian?? Well, I think he’s gonna be as shocked as everyone else when Dan votes Shane out. But that little guy is gonna get another lease on life after tonight’s show. And I expect him to power-house it through Part One (Endurance–YAYAYAYAYYY for the LIVE FEEDS) of the Three-Part Final Competition.

Tonight’s show is gonna be AMA… (wait for it)…ZING!!!
