S24.E34: Finale

[Thalia]

Nashville seems to be about five minutes behind the rest of you (based on your posts.)  Grrr. 

[Lamima]

Monte wins BB24!

Am I tripping? It seemed pretty obvious that Monte's big move was taking out Michael on Turner's HoH. Taking out Turner is the opposite of a big move. It's more like putting a dirty sock in the hamper where it belongs - something that Turner never learned how to do during his time in the house.

Eh. He had to come up with some excuse. Pump up Turner’s ego, secure his vote.

[Callaphera]

Julie: "Did you take anything away from your time in the house?"
Me: "Not personal hygiene tips."

[30 Helens]

A tray that’s in splinters.

[Lady Calypso]

Looks like the jurors are on a separate soundstage.

No offense BB, you could have used that space for DyreFest. Just saying.

Yup 😏It is a closer vote than if he took Turner though.

But then you think of Kyle and Terrance suffering out in the backyard with the ants and the heat and the tarp and everything is all right with the world.

[Lamb18]

Well, Taylor has won at least $75,000.

[30 Helens]

Ha- Michael back in the cat shirt.

[Callaphera]

They can probably smell Turner through the door to the fancy new stage.

Is Taylor ineligible for AFP since she's F2?

Yes she is.

No, only if she wins. So she’s definitely eligible.

[Hanahope]

No

They changed it back during Tyler's first season because Grodner wanted to reward her love in case he lost the top prize. So she can win.

I'm pretty sure that Tyler won both.  

[Brian Cronin]

They make up rules to suit their purposes, so I think Taylor CAN be eligible...and she can also be INeligible. 

[30 Helens]

Look at Jasmine giving Taylor supportive face, and Brittany giving stank face. hmm.

[Lady Calypso]

Well, Monte's answers aren't....great. They're not horrible, but not great.

Fair. Grodner does seem to dislike Taylor because she doesn't have a penis.

[llongori]

Indy ain't buying what Taylor's selling.

He's much less intelligent on the fly than I thought he'd be. 

[30 Helens]

Taylor’s giving better responses. She’s still going to lose.

[Callaphera]

Monte's answers are about as good as his weightlifting coaching.

[dizzyd]

Monte’s answers are as boring as zingbot said he is. Love Taylor’s answer to Indy. If I was on the jury and just basing my decision on these answers, I’d give it to Taylor. I’d give it to her just for the blockbuster punchline.

[Callaphera]

I say it every season but I really wish juror questioning on Big Brother was more like juror questioning on Survivor.

[30 Helens]

Taylor’s zing to Monte was the best thing so far this night.

[Lady Calypso]

Wow, Monte's answer to Turner was....actually really terrible.

"Hey man, it's your fault so I didn't really consider it a real F2. Sorry if you're hurt by my actions."

[Lady Whistleup]

Taylor's answers aren't great but Monte is babbling like he's making a MLM sales pitch.

It's shocking to me how much he is falling apart trying to talk extemporaneously. 

[TimWil]

Terrance was the only one who didn’t get to ask a question. Hmmm. Was he being penalized for something he did in the jury house? Or did Grodner think he was incapable of reading off a card?

[Shorty186]

I don't have the best memory, but I feel like way back when the jury's questions used to be a lot more catty. And I think everyone was allowed to ask both players a question?

I’m not so sure of that.

Did Alyssa ask one? I missed it if she did. 

[Lady Calypso]

After those answers from Monte, I think Taylor really has a chance.

Those answers really were bad from Monte's end. Taylor's good at adapting to who she's speaking to and making them feel good. And sometimes, that's the difference between winning and losing.

It's going to be a close vote either way, but Taylor did a MUCH better job and I think she swayed at least ONE vote.

Monte to Turner: "Hey, hon! Sorry to hear that you're down in the dumps about me voting you out at the last second but you know what can help? Essential oils. They have changed my life - are you looking for a work from home opportunity so that you can still take care of your three kidlets while being the girl boss you always wanted to be?"

Monte has been so sure he’s winning he probably didn’t even practice.

[Callaphera]

Is Monte pitching himself for winner of BB24 or mayor of Big Brotherville?

[30 Helens]

He’s counting evicting Nicole as a move?

Ah, you’re right. I stand corrected.

[Callaphera]

To be fair, Alyssa is probably challenging Lea Michele for Most Illiterate American of 2022.

[dizzyd]

👏 Taylor’s final speech, she rocked it! 😍

[Lady Calypso]

Yes, Taylor, yes! Advocate for yourself! 

[dizzyd]

Joseph has no poker face. We know where his vote is going. 

[HighQueenEB]

That was an awesome final speech from Taylor!  I really hope the jury gives it to her!

[Callaphera]

Poor Kyle - his little head is exploding having to choose between two Black people. Worst case scenario for him.

Alyssa will vote however her headship tells her to.

[Hanahope]

Not fair monte got an extra question 

[30 Helens]

7-2 Monte

[Lady Calypso]

Well, this is my best guess on how each juror responds as they vote:

So, Indy might have voted Taylor.

JASMINE VOTED TAYLOR.

JOSEPH VOTED TAYLOR.

Kyle voted...Taylor? Monte? Hard to say.

Terrance voted Monte, for sure.

Michael voted....I actually don't know, what a vague statement.

ALYSSA VOTED TAYLOR.

BRITTANY VOTED TAYLOR.

Turner probably voted Monte.

I think Taylor won!
