I still say somehow CBS/BB will make sure Frankie wins.

Even though this season sucked, I still wish it wasn't over. I miss Big Brother when it's not on.
Like...when that stupid, horrible couples season aired during the TV strike. That was such a great year because we got extra Big Brother.

This stuff has been off before, so take it with a grain of salt.
Apparently Julie is having Frankie on The Talk tomorrow. Alone.
No winner. No Final 3. Just Frankie. I almost can't believe that's true. That has to be bad information getting passed around, right?

I almost can't believe that's true. That has to be bad information getting passed around, right? It better be. I really liked Frankie at the beginning. I don't think I've ever gone from liking someone so much to hating them equally or more by the end of the season.

Great player, to me, means that they can go back into the house and have a legitimate shot at winning the money again. Derrick can't be in All-Stars because they will immediately call him on his bullshit. Dan...I rank up there w/Will. He managed to win it in his season and place 2nd the second time around even though everyone around him knew what kind of player he was. I think Derrick did a great job at not showing much emotion, playing every side, picking people's brains and using that to his advantage. It's one of those situations where no one knew how good he was playing until they sat in the chair next to Julie and realized "oh shit, I'm here b/c of Derrick." So I think Derrick was good, not being put up on the block once was uncanny, even better since 90% of the season you had 4 people being put up and he never got on there. He was a good player, but not the best in BB history. I don't think he's the best, but it's hard to say how well he would do in another season unless that happens. During season 14, I believe it was Brittney that brought up how dangerous it was to keep Dan in the house too long. It was one of the coaches, maybe even all of them. Either way, the cast chose not to listen and look what happened. Lol. Another thing to think of, if it's an all-star season, depending on who is in there, Derrick might not be the biggest threat. I see that often too, "if it was an all-star season..." but there are other variables that come into play. I'm sure people thought Will wouldn't have been able to bullshit his way as far as he did during All-Stars, but look how that turned out. He literally asked everyone to evict him, but they still kept him around. Folks give Dan a lot of credit for Season 14, but I think he gets too much. Yes, Dan's funeral was great, but the cast consisted of mostly new players, not to mention the coach's twist kept him in the game longer than a normal season, specifically an all-star season might have. There are always variables we could debate until we're blue in the face and I don't think either of us would be wrong, necessarily. I mean, you say "Dan was in a cast of newbies" and I think "Will was in a cast with people he already knew and probably had bonds with." Everyone knew how each of them were, but I'd think the people without any kind of social connections *should* have a less difficult time cutting someone they know is dangerous loose. Will, I think, is really good at the basic nuances of the game that get forgotten by most (for example, knowing during a DE that he had to be the last person to have Janelle's ear to get her to do what he wanted her to). Dan is really good at thinking things through, figuring out the best course of action for him, and presenting it in a way that it seems like a good idea for the person he's talking to. His discussion with Frank in S14 about getting Jenn to use the veto on him - after he had just upset Danielle, who Jenn liked - was just brilliant. There's a reason Britney calls it Mist. Dan has a way with words that just clouds your judgment and gets you to do what he wants, even in the worst situations. That's actually another reason why the Dan comparisons for Derrick irk me. Sure, Derrick is good at getting people to do what he wants (made easier by the brain trust playing with him, but still solid) but he never once did it when the odds were stacked entirely against him. Dan did. Will and Dan are both just so excellent at this game under a bunch of different circumstances. I don't know that I could say the same about Derrick. I won't say for sure he couldn't be, but I have some real doubts.

While I'm fairly confident that the bit with Victoria was done for comedic effect, I wouldn't be shocked if she prioritized her makeup over her jury speech...

This is the same guy who told Derrick he has 80 grand in student loan debt. He's not paying that off after taxes take a chunk of the 50 grand.

Cody looks like a guy who came to the realization that he's not winning this game.

Frankie is going to be the most bitter player of the season, by far.
I'm starting to think Cody is going to be up there. Around the point tonight or tomorrow when he's asked for the dozenth time, "how on Earth could you possibly take Derrick to the end?!" he's going to start letting some frustrations out.
