Sure, there were a dozen different ways she could have handled it beyond, "I just can't...end of conversation!"

One of my biggest pet peeves for TV writing is when characters say things that people wouldn't say in real life, but are JUST the thing that will cause interpersonal conflict. So so much of Margaret's work conflicts annoy me, as she is far too passive with her other partners, and she then blows off her friend, Susan, in JUST the wrong way. There is no WAY that she wouldn't just tell her loyal co-worker AND FRIEND that "the firm is having some money issues." You don't have to get into the details, but just a general, "We can't afford to give you a raise right now." Susan could then be mad at THAT, too, but at least that would be a NATURAL conflict. Not, "I can't give you a raise for...reasons." It's just so phony. It's harder to come up with natural conflicts, but you don't just skip steps because it's hard, you just do a better job of writing.

I don't know why Reilly felt the need to put on SO MUCH makeup, fake eyelashes, fake hair, I don't know what else she had on but she had lost her beauty in my eyes. Fixed that for you!

This is far from the worst season, but that's only because the show has had so many terrible seasons. But yeah, definitely not a good season. But at least Jag is a hilarious winner! Dude was evicted 10-0 and ended up winning the whole season! Thanks for everyone for the posting, we'll see each other next year, like a twisted annual reunion show!

Holy shit, it's like someone asked, "What's the dumbest, chintziest thing we could possibly do?" Then again, that seems to be the question they ask every season, too, so I guess it fits in.

Pretty hilarious result. Stupid season, but hilarious result. Also, fuck you very much CBS for making America's Favorite Houseguest America's Favorite Houseguest.

On top of Zombie Week being their worst twist EVER (and that is saying a lot for a show that has been packed with terrible twists over the years), it was also so clearly UNNEEDED. They could have just not done a live eviction that week. Yes, they'd lost some fan interest, but only SOME fan interest. Most of the casuals wouldn't have even been spoiled! Or have an eviction on a different day that week or whatever. They had so many possibilities and they chose the dumbest possible one.

Right, but that's the EXACT reason he should have done it at Final FOUR, so if he didn't do it THEN, why would he do it NOW?

I just don't understand how cutting Matt NOW (if Jag were the win the final leg of the F3 HOH) would be any better than cutting him at F4. So I think Jag might just let Matt win and trust that he will take him, so Jag doesn't have to be disloyal.

They'll be jealous because of the letter...that they don't know about? He added later that Cirie would tell them, but before that, he was going with them NOT knowing about the letter and still somehow being jealous. What a fucking tool.

Yeah, agreed. Matt would just be a typical bland winner, like most winners. As a person, though, he sucks.

100%. "This is so great!"

Yeah, I think Matt sucks as a person, but I think he's been playing a pretty normal BB winner's game this season. This isn't, like, Evil Dick or Boogie winning or some shit like that, where those weren't even real wins. This is more like a better version of Josh - be the person people hate the least in the final. And Josh was also (and is still) a terrible person, as well.

I think Matt is a total douchenozzle, but as a BB winner, he's fair enough. He's a pretty bland, but fine winner.

I knew he was too much of a wimp. Honestly, though, it probably came down to the fact that he really can't argue that Matt was ever disloyal to him, and he just NEEDS his fucking stupid narrative to make himself feel better. I now really NEED Matt to cut Jag at F3.
