The Winner of Big Brother 14–IAN TERRY
|Well, we did it, my dahlings!!!!
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…)

HAHA Janet…awesome closing blog! I laughed out loud at the last part…”For now- let’s eavesdrop on our families-(and see if they still remember us)”
Yes highlight of the night for me FRANK winning Americas Fav. I believe like you…we had something to do with it. Everywhere else I went, it was just constant Frank bashing. It is nice to see some of the PLAYERS of BB really love Frank too and people like Spicey.
I watched the Backyard interviews with Spicey (of course..lol) there was another priceless Danielle moment….when Spicey told Danielle that Dan said to Shane on his way out the door “Dani has been playing you the whole time”. I guess you can imagine the face she made…lol
PRICELESS!!
I’ll miss you too, Kat! you made this so much fun!!
Awww Janet…gosh I dont know how I will wait a whole year…for BB and you and your blog!! waaaaa
Luv ya lady!
I am glad the final two came down to the two that deserved to be there the most, I will say this I rooted for IAN the whole game, But I must say Dan did play the best game, To me the ones that say his tactics were not good, Fact is if it was real life I would agree, But it isn’t it is a game and he played it to win, Seems all that voted against him never really had there heads in the game, if they use excuses like he was mean and nasty, AHHHHH to bad it is a game, But in the end I realized it didn’t matter which of them won, They both deserved it, and I am Glad they were the last two.
Great year, Janet, see you next year, thanks for all the fun and hard work.
Thanks so much, Nena! I think you’re pretty great, too!! 🙂
Can’t wait for another All-Stars. Maybe Frank will finally find someone to trust. Imagine a Frank/Ian team up – if they kept it quiet (and they’re both smart enough to do that) they’d run straight through the game! So proud of Ian. Every year I pick a fave on opening night, and every year my fave is gone before jury. This time my fave actually won!
Everytime Jeff Schroeder has interviewed Frank he has mentioned that he wants to team up with Frank, “if they are invited back”. NOW that would be like a Dream Team for me!!
Frank and Jeff for ALLSTARS!!!!
Ooooo Kat! I LIKE THAT!!
Thank you so much for your time! I am going to miss this in the mornings for my BB fix:(. Can’t wait for next season 🙂
Thanks so much,Lainey!!
Way to go IAN!!!!!!
Thankyou Janet so much. For all of your time and energy to make this site what it was. Also your great insight and making it so much fun in here. I am so happy that Ian won. It was priceless to see Dani’s and Shane’s faces when it was announced that Frank won the Favorite prize! You could tell they were pissed. I know they thought one of them had it in the bag. lol lol. Also when Shane asked Dani if she was part of getting him out. Wait till he watches the episodes and sees the one where Dani was saying how he kept following her around and he needs to go. Hahaha. Let’s see how she lies her way out of that. Also when Janelle said how Dani lied. Shane had a real funny look on his face. He will soon realize that she is a nutcase. lol lol. But Thankyou Janet, I will miss your comments and all of the wonderful people here. I sure wish you would do survivor. That would be awesome! But Thankyou again you are one terrific lady.! God Bless everyone, will be back for BB 15! Hugs to all!
Fi…I noticed the look on Dani and Dans face too. I was jumping on my bed and screaming at all the HG’s who bashed Frank all season and for all the haters on some of the other Blog sites “IN YOUR FACE!!!” 🙂 🙂 🙂
Kat- lol lol. I am so glad you saw their expression too. That was priceless. We must have been jumping up and down at the same time. haha. I voted for Frank to get the Favorite. He deserved it. I was so proud of Ian when he stood up to Dan when they were asked questions and also their speech. Did you notice when Julie would say Ian got one right the crowd was loud clapping. when Dan got one right, there were only a few that clapped. I think Dan thought that Ian would throw the comp to him. I really believe that towards the end of the game, Dan started believing his was God and everyone did what he wanted. He even seemed that way on the final questions and speech. I thought he was rude to Ian. know he was shocked that Ian won the comp. Yippee! Kat, I have enjoyed reading all of your comments and how you would make me laugh with your quick wit too just like Janet. Sure wish we could get her to do Survivor. Hope t see you back here for BB 15 Kat. God Bless (Quack Quack)! lol
Thanks for all your awesome comments, Fiona!! You helped make this site great this year!
Thankyou Janet, But it was you that made this site awesome! I have never been on a site before and this one had me hooked from the first day! Everyone here was able to say what they wanted and no one got mean or nasty. That’s what made this so much nicer. You weren’t afraid to say if you liked someone or not. I feel bad, I know I bashed Danielle a lot, but she just drove me nuts. lol. So I want to say thankyou to everyone for not getting on my case when I kept saying for Danielle to chew with her mouth closed. hahaha. I am so happy for Ian and for Frank. This was a great game. Thankyou again Janet for all of your hard work. I will definitely see you next BB15. Thankyou again. You Rock!!!!! (Quack Quack) lol
Haha Fi…we must be sisters in another life …
Kat< worst pet peeve…people who chew with their mouth open or make noises when the eat 🙂
See ya for BB15!!
Kat- Ha ha ha. Sounds good to me. I know, I wish they would have made her take her mike off to eat. Hahaha. Between the smacking and slurping. Geez. lol. I’m so glad it got to you too, not just me. Ha ha! I hope to see you here sis for BB15. Maybe we will have some more good ones to teach some manners. ha ha ha. God Bless (sis) always wanted a sister. Thanks Kat for an awesome one at that. (Quack Quack) lol.
Thank you so much for keeping us updated an letting us “see” what happened throughout the week. Until next year my friends.
Thank you, Judy!
I don’t think anyone can be really mad. Even though I didn’t want Dan to win anything. They both fought to the end and Ian was rewarded. It was joy to see Ian win it all. I was rooting for the boy that became a man in 77 days. He actually grew up right before our eyes. My hat off to you Ian, you deserve BB14.
Rex- Could not have said that better. I agree with you 100%. I was so happy Ian won. Hope to see you back here for BB15. God Bless. (Quack Quack) lol
I knew that “Ian” would win from the beginning of the season. This was one of the best season that I have seen BB#14 cannot wait to see the next BB house guest to enter in the next season.
Janet, I want to thank you so very much for all the great posts during this season of BB. I was unable to get into a lot of the sites due to firewalls but when I started reading your posts I found that I did not need to get into others. Contrary to my husband’s view (he was pro Frank) I am so glad IAN won, don’t get me wrong I thought Dan was the best player this year I just thought the coach thing was pretty farfetched and Dani was probably the most naive (stating it nicely) player in history… Would have loved to see what would have happened if Dani did not use the VETO and it would have been Dan, Dani and Shane. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, MB!! And tell your hubby hi for me, cause I’m pro-Frank, too!
If you thought Dani was shocked by the news that Dan had given Ian his grandfather’s medal, imagine his entire team back home sitting there stunned, thinking … “Hey, wait a minute, I thought coach gave ME his grandfather’s medal! No, he gave it to Me!” (And so on through the whole team)
So, until next year, let’s all go back to trying to find our own lives! 🙂
Janet, thank you for another wonderful and exciting BB year! Love that eavesdrop on our families comment LMAO.
I come to your site every year because it is the best. It also has the best BB fans to exchange comments with. As we all know the banter goes from one end of the spectrum to the other….but we always respect each others views regardless of what we think. We agree that it is ok to disagree. Everyone is welcome and entitled to thier thoughts, beliefs, views etc.
That, plus your great updates are what make this the best BB sight out there!!!!
I will miss you all.
Until next year my BB family…
Many hugs and blessings to you all.
Your BB sister JO1
Awww- Thanks so much JO! And this site wouldn’t be the same without you!! I’ll miss ya! 🙂
JO1- I agree totally. It was so nice to be able to make comments and everyone would make their comments back but it was always fun. I will look for you here for BB15 and hopefully it will be as nail biting as this one. God Bless and wtg Ian! ( Quack Quack) lol
Thanks so muc for your great insights.. It was the first place I would log into every morning. You always had the best recaps. There were many times on the chats when someone would ask “what happened?” I would refer them over here.
Thank you Carol!! I really appreciate that, and having you here with us! 🙂
Janet,,,
Thank you again so much for this wonderful site..WE go back along way and it just wouldn’t be BIg Brother without you..I look forward to it every year….You do such a great job…Altho we have never met–I just know we would be great friends,,.
Now what a wonderful way for this season to end..Wee Ian took it all!!!! and MY man Frank won America’s vote..It just goes to show dirty and dispicable play wasn;t rewarded..Having said that it is a game..but now i feel like there is still good human nature in the world… and you reap what you sow… SO i’ll end this saying it was a great season that ended a great way..
I;ll miss you Janet and all my round table friends..All of you take care untill next year.. Peace love and happiness to you all….Lord willing we’ll all be back next year..Farewell my BB friends….
Thank you my Darling Susan! We HAVE been together a long time–and I SOO appreciate all your wisdom, your wit and your loyalty! Have a great year and I’ll see u in July!
P.S.: Don’t believe for a sec that Dan’s grandfather’s necklace was the real thing. Dan the Damned wouldn’t give up anything of value–except his integrity.
Great Job on the blog…
Thanks for keeping us updated…
I have quietly read this page every morning without ever commenting. But I had to chime in and thank you for your hard work and insights. I found them thoughtful, intelligent, and pationate (nothing wrong with that). I’m actually looking forward to next year.
And for the record, I agree this is “a game” — but no real person of integrity can completely check their morals at the door, as Dan said. Sure, you have to fib and parse words and even back stab occasionally, but swearing on sacred items and loved ones is a step too far, IMO. I admit it makes the game interesting, but if my favorite shows were all made up of people like Dan because that’s who always wins, I’d quit watching. I’m tickled to death that Ian won (if Frank couldn’t), and that Dan’s play wasn’t rewarded in the end. Kudos to the jury for getting it right!
I haven’t commented either until now…LLR..did anything Dan do affect you in any way, did it change your life?? Like you said, it was a game and just leave it at that. You don’t know him or his family..IMO!!! And he did get rewarded, $50,000 reward.
Lucy,
You’re right, of course. It’s just that my sense of right and wrong prefers to see “good” win over “evil.” I’m naive enough to hope that you CAN win some of these games without completely compromising the kind of person you are at your core. So it’s difficult for me to believe that Dan, or people who play that dirty, aren’t also willing to compromise their ethics and morals if the circumstance justifies itself outside the BB house. It’s called situation ethics. Surely you can’t believe someone THAT good at lying to people’s faces hasn’t had SOME experience before BB? Like I said, I’m not such a puritan to believe you can win without being a little sneaky, but I want to believe you can do it somewhat honestly.
But then again, Pollyanna is one of my favorite Disney movies! 🙂
Very well put!! I do hope he is not like that in real life but then again my favorite movie is Secret Garden..Nice chatting with you, hope to hear from you before the end next year. I’ll do the same.
One more thing:
Did anyone notice one of the tweets CBS flashed across the screen after Danielle voted saying something like, “After it’s all over Dan will tell Danielle that she won, and she’ll probably believe that too!” HA!
Yes I saw that!!! Rolling on the floor laughing!!
LLR- Yes, I was laughing so loud. Did you see when Danielle first sat down next to Jenn on the jury, she leaned over real quick and bashed Ian, I think she called him a rat to Jenn. Then when Danielle made the comment to Julie when she first came out and sat with Julie, she felt that Ian was a coward because he did not take her. Just shows she is even a snotty little B outside the house. I am glad like you that finally the good beat out the evil. lol. I am glad that Frank at least was able to win the Fan Favorite. I hope to see him back in the next BB. Hopefully you will post during the game, I really enjoyed what you said and agree. God Bless and hope to see you here next BB15. (Quack Quack) lol
YEA IAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to say a great big thank you Aunt Janet for the most amazing Site. I also have not commented at all this season but faithfully read every update and comment left. I also wanted to thank the bloggers you have made this season so much more interesting. I am extremely happy with the outcome of the winners, I just wish everyone could have gotten something because they all made the season exciting. thanks for hearing me out and see you next summer for certain. <3
Mendy- Thankyou, this is the first year I have ever been on a blog or left comments. I have enjoyed this site so much, Thanks to Janet and all the other awesome people in here. I hope to see you here next year and blogging away. lol. God Bless and hopefully see you in here for BB15! (Quack Quack) lol
Janet, “sniff” “tear rolling down cheek” I’m in withdrawal already! Can’t wait til next year. Thanks for all your hard work. You did a great job on BB. Now if we could just convince you to update us on Survivor, I wouldn’t have to miss you and everybody else here but about 6-7 months a year! Possibility, hmmm? Oh, well, enjoy your much-needed rest! Take care, and thanks again! You’re great!

I am extremely happy with the outcom of the season, I just wish everyone could have gotten something because they all made the season exciting. thanks for hearing me out and see you next summer for certain. <3
Sorry for the two post, dang it, lol
Favorite part of the finale was Ian saying how he was gonna have to rip into Dan!!! Pure Awesome!! LOL!! Too funny how Danielle tried to kiss Shane, when they announced the last jury member! Thanks Auntie Janet for another wonderful BB Blog this year!! Even more entertaining than last year!! All the people that comment on here are great as well! See you next year 🙂
Keisha- I agree. I was so proud of Ian for standing up to Dan. lol lol. All the people that comment here are more like one big family with Auntie Janet. lol. I will definitely be back for BB15. I like you will miss all the comments and people. God Bless and see you BB15! Quack Quack ! lol
I looked forward to your blogs and am sorry to see the season to end. Would love to have it on more than just the summer. I think Dan was the best player. Took a lot of thought and intelligence to get to the final 2.
Ian would have been my second choice. Waiting for next summer……
I love this site so much! Thank you for being such a Frank fan! I came on here all the time reading everyone’s comments! I will miss you guys! Well reunite again next season!! 🙂
CONGRATS FRANK!!!!!!! SO HAPPY HE GOT THE MONEY!!!
Not the 500,000 but 25,000!
frank was an egotistical asshole with a foul mouth. if anyone other than he, i think britney should have won AC
Lucy, at first I thought you must have been describing Dan. If you think frank is egotistical, then Dan is a bigger egotistical a$$ with an equally foul mouth.
I love this site!! its the best! and i will for sure be back for next season!! woot! =D
Hopefully we get an all stars season with Frank in it!!! =))
TYVM
I would love another Allstar season next year. I’d put in 1 caveat. No past winners. Folks Like Frank and Jeff would be great. Though no Jordan would be a bummer. One of my all time favs. And bring back Twitny for that sense of humour if she’s not prego!
As for the finale one of the best ever. Loved Ian winning HOH as Dan threw the comp and Dani’s face showed she knew it! Ian giving a way better speach than Dan. A 6-1 final vote I never predicted or was even close to. I knew Dan’s weak game play when it came to counting votes in the Jury. Several times when some touted Dan as best ever I would point to this weakness always. Anyone really think losing 6-1 after winning 7-0 the 1st time he’s the best? NOT by a long shot!
I enjoyed wee Ian’s Q&A session as well as his speach and thought Frank truely appreciated the AF choice. I liked Frank better in the Jury house. If he was chosen for allstars next time he won’t have trouble finding players for an alliance. The qualities he showed this season will have the best players entering the house seeking him out!
Though parts of the season I did not enjoy. Not alot to cheer about after Brit left. BBAD turned to junk after her eviction. The finale was fantastic.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Ian!
Thank you so much, mo!! I’ll miss u too!! And I won’t be doin Survivor, as I have to get back to finishing my Young Adult Time Travel novel. Hopefully I can get it finished soon- and get ready for next BB season. Take care and have a great year! 🙂
Janet let us know when you complete it and it is published. That sounds right up my alley. I love time travel books!! I am a little past young adult though LOL
Thank you so much mendy!! I look forward to “seeing” you again next season!!
I loved the way it all turned out! I love all the conspiracy theorists out there claiming it was ’rigged’ for Frank to win AC! LOL But the rest of know he deserved it and just as I predicted, Dan’s only vote was Danielle, and now that she knows more, I have my doubts he would have gotten hers had she know then what she does now, Great job Janet, we love you! To all my new BB friends, I love you and can’t wait to join you all again next BB season!
I’m right there with you, Mary! I saw Ian, Dan and Danielle on The Talk yesterday afternoon and she said as much herself! You could tell she is still TOTALLY P-O’d! Poor little Ian looked totally overwhelmed, especially when all the Talk ladies were hugging him. Talk about a fish out of water! I know alot of people didn’t like him for the way he acted in the house but I really feel that that was just his way of trying to fit in. I’m really stoked that Frank won AC, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see him in AllStars!
I have looked around and so far haven’t found much out there about/from any of them since the finale. I probably shouldn’t admit this since it isn’t very ‘nice’ of me, but I really want to know how Danielle is taking her ‘reality check’ now that she is getting to read/see what people really thought/think of all her lies and delusions. I also would really, really like to know if Shane ran for the hills, changed his phone number, his name, his email, his home address and went into the witness protection program, now that he can find out just ‘who’ she really is and is not…….
And I want to know what our Frankie baby is up to and what’s next for him!
Do you have twitter Mary?
You can get a lot of updates. Danielle signed on to her twitter account yesterday. It seems she has some “fans” who are sending her nice messages and she is responding in like. (sounds like she just won an EMMY)
“Thank you” “Your so kind” “Thank you for your support”
As for her and Shane, SHE says they are together. They did go to a couple events after BB finale together. I believe they are both at their prospective homes. We will see how that plays out…I have no faith it will.
People still update about BB on twitter everday. There are lots of pictures and stuff from the VegasBash.
Get you an account and you can follow me, I will follow you…we can stay in touch 🙂
