STAC Goat posted:Its super odd but its got to be one of those two theories. Either there just isn't any real desire for it (maybe Utopia stealing a little of the small attention) or CBS just made it difficult for some (Frankie) reason. I get the feeling it was a Frankie (really his sister) reason or maybe it was just the really boring season overall where Derrick just killed it and seems to have no interested in being involved in BB drama (neither does Donny it seems)

Sounds like Julie Chen thinks the finales are boring too. Julie Chen posted:Sometimes people go into the finale backstage saying, “I’m going to tell off so and so, A, B, C, D and I’m going to let her know how I feel.” And then you tee it up and they’re like, “Wellllllllll, no hard feelings.” And I’m like, “YES! YES! Hard feelings! You were just 15 minutes ago hard feelings!” So that’s my fear, that there won’t be the fireworks that we want and expect from people confronting their former enemies.

Kind of hypocritical of her because she would be the one saying "Now now play nice this is a family show" if they weren't being boring.

I enjoyed this season a lot more than last, not least of all because I think Derrick is an extremely deserving winner. I actually didn't think his game was that boring (though I understand why a lot of you did), but he could have helped his own cause had he played up his domination a bit in DR. The only time I can ever remember him doing that is when he was convincing Caleb of something and they spliced together his "three steps to winning Big Brother" with the actual clips. That was great both because it showed a good game player being aware of his dominance and because it was actually interesting! It was interesting to me that both Donny and Jocasta had hard feelings toward Derrick, but no surprise at all that they voted together. Also very disappointing that Zach is still in love with Frankie.

I love EW's recap of the finale. It's a lot of (mostly deserved) fellating of Derrick's game but at the end...quote:The show was over, the cameras were off, the players all gathered together in joyful reunion. Donny hugged Jocasta, and Nicole kissed Hayden, and Caleb walked toward Amber, and Amber retreated behind Devin, who suddenly blurted out "I HAVE A DAUGHTER!" and started crying.

I think what's incredible to me about the finale is that all of Derrick's masterful gaming and scheming this season could have been undone in the blink of an eye if Cody had taken a moment to rub two brain cells together and think about his chances in the final two with Victoria instead of Derrick. Cody would have woken up $500k richer today if he had realized that the time for loyalty was over when he had to make that choice.

It's always an interesting phenomena where some people in the game just don't see what's actually going on. Cody really thought he was making the right move.

His fate was sealed when he voted out Victoria, but I think the vote might have been closer if he hadn't turned into a defensive little baby about being called Derrick's puppet. Seriously, not only did that ensure that he had no chance of winning, but it further solidified that "Cody dumb".

Robnoxious posted:Haha, I see what you did there. Frankie was obviously a very important part of their marketing strategy when they cast him. It is not too hard to imagine that Frankie was smart enough to lawyer up before signing anything, and probably had a legit entertainment lawyer on board where as the regular HGs almost certainly did not. It isn't too much of a stretch to imagine that there was an agreement between the Grandes and CBS that gave Frankie a bit of "protection", or at least as much as CBS could, since they can't control Frankie once he was in the house. We'll see if he really does end up on the Race or not. He probably got the right of first refusal, which means they HAVE to formally offer him the spot on the show. Mahoning posted:Sounds like Julie Chen thinks the finales are boring too. Blame the producers. The finale structure is loving TERRIBLE for drama, since 90% of it is either videos, the final comp, or exposition from the host. If it were structured more like the Survivor finale, she would get her drama. They didn't even let the early HGs speak this year.

Seriously, not only did that ensure that he had no chance of winning, but it further solidified that "Cody dumb". Both Cody's decision and his behaviour during the jury questioning are more solid gameplay out of Derrick. Apparently Cody actually counted the votes out loud and knew he couldn't win against Derrick before making the decision to vote out Victoria. Derrick's hold on Cody was that strong. Also Derrick was egging Cody on saying if Frankie asked him a question he should throw it right back at him. Getting Cody all amped up to not take any crap from the jury was one of the many nice subtle touches on Derrick's game. Ian Terry was on RHAP arguing that this was the best winning game in BB history. Dr Will and Dan are still better players, but I'm open to the argument that this individual game was a stronger game than the ones Will and Dan won with. (or their arguably more impressive losing return appearances) It may not have been the best TV but it was a remarkable accomplishment.

So this is literally the first season of big brother I have ever watched and I loved it. I can see how after 16 seasons (and other countries) it might not have compared to previous ones, but I really liked the concept and the competitions. And for once the cast wasn't completely repulsive and it was a lot of fun watching them enjoy interacting with each other. I'm glad Donny won the favorites competition, because I think he was the sweetest person I've seen on any reality TV show. (My least favorites would definitely be Frankie -- I will never understand those preteen-oriented *SQUEAL* youtube stars and probably Christine, because she was useless and floated by by pure luck.) I actually really admire how well Derrick played the game. He was behind almost every decision to evict someone (swinging votes from people multiple times when he decided it fit his plan better) but each time he'd wait for someone else to 'come up' with the decision first and thus take the blame for it (while backing them up and earning trust). I haven't seen how other people win the game but he definitely played a good one. I can also see why people thought the season was boring, though -- it was very predictable based on the alliances formed and no one bothered with any big moves until the very end.

Glad Derrick won, was happy to see Frankie slowly realize that he wasn't even in the Top 3. It was beautiful: 3 solid seconds of shocked face, he started clapping slowly with the same expression once he realized everyone else was, a pitiful "Wwwwwwow...!" at the end. Then of course the sad face

I don't think Derrick would have taken Victoria honestly. The only time I remember him saying anything about it in the DR he said IF Cody was gone he would take Victoria.

I think Derrick was smart enough to realize that he could beat either Cody OR Victoria easily. Look at how well he spun stabbing everybody in the back when asked about it. He really played an excellent social game that didn't involve burning many bridges.

People are saying the season was boring because it had one big alliance which formed in the beginning and which dominated the entire game, with almost no one ever putting up any resistance to it at all. Furthermore, the people in the majority alliance won almost every single HOH, so there was almost no chance of anyone even threatening any of them. This is not normal for big brother. It would be more typical to have multiple competing factions, with people from both groups winning HOH at times and people switching sides and making deals and so on. This season was just a big powerful group steamrolling over a bunch of clueless losers. I still enjoyed watching it, though. But, if you liked this season, you will like other seasons for more, where there's a lot more strategy and drama going on. Instead of... "and now, for the 6th time, Victoria and Donny and Jocosta all get put up, along with this week's true target".

I highly recommend listening to the RHAP exit interviews with the final 3, especially the one with Victoria, which was hilarious. Highlight: she says she would've won vs. both Derrick and Cody.

I just listened to the rhap final interviews and Victoria is like a ridiculous person. She is such a cliche of the girly girl bimbo that I was almost sure that it wasn't her and that she was playing a character but I guess it's her. She is incredibly deluded and seems to have no self awareness.

But yeah, Victoria seems as if she's a parody of herself. Cicely Strong did a similar character on SNL this past weekend LOL. I think she was "the girl you're sorry you started a conversation with".

Come on ED, you should have given up the needlepoint back in the 80's! It was weird how abrupt ED's exit was that season and how it was never brought up again. Now we know. I can't help but think Jenlicious (the girl he dumped water on and tormented until she was evicted during his first season) is probably saying something about karma being a bitch right about now.
