S17.E40: Live Finale (Live Chat)

[Ceeg]

I didn't expect to be so bitter about a Steve win BUT I AM lol I hate this show so much, why do I continue to do this to myself year after year? I'm really glad I decided to drink tonight.

[Arya]

Wouldn't it be amazing if Liz won, then dumped Austin on live TV? It would serve him right.

I can't remember the last time I liked a winner. Jordan/Dan I guess?

[TexasChic]

And revealed that she and Vanessa were lesbian lovers?

THIS. I didn't realize I'd be this upset by Vanessa losing P3 of the HOH. Ughhhh. Wish I had something to drink right about now.

[NYGirl]

I bet Johnny Mac wins ...the audience cheered most for him.

[blixie]

I had wine at dinner I should have kept drinking. Wheezing teddy bear clutching little bitch is going to beat to strong women players. UGH.

[Aw my lahgs]

Austin was so happy Vanessa came in...

[Callaphera]

I wish this finale was longer. I wish it was more like Survivor's format, where they have enough time to talk about shit that went down in the house. The pre-jury boots aren't enough.

Vanessa had to wear a poker face, y'all. If that's her poker face, I'd hate to see her when she's really emotional.

[Chrissytd]

Lol at Day shading Judas.

[mooses]

Lol at Day shading Judas.

Loved it!

So it's just...Austin in a hat.

[TexasChic]

Lol at Day shading Judas.

That was awesome.

[mooses]

So Vanessa revealed her Poker past. I would've liked it better if Julie did it.

[ProfCrash]

At least Austin owned that Judas sucked

[PaperTree]

Day kills Judas.  Now the scumbag runs away from it like the (insert your insult here) that he is.

 

Vanessa comes clean.  Good for her.

 

Go Jason!!

 

Keep it together Audrey.  OK that was enough.

 

so the others just get shut out.  typical

[Callaphera]

Seriously. Ten minutes left, and we still need to do the winner and Fan Favourite. So. Much. Filler.

[mooses]

Not even a question about Clay and Shelli! Not that I care. But I'm surprised they didn't touch on it.

[Cutty]

Jace, a doormate til the end.

[TexasChic]

Wait until Austin hears how much everyone was impressed by Vanessas game. Julie keeps going on about it .

[Callaphera]

Not even a question about Clay and Shelli! Not that I care. But I'm surprised they didn't touch on it.

 

Or Clay and Meg...

[Arya]

I completely agree. I always felt that the ending was too abrupt. The winner doesn't even get to say anything really. They need to change the format of the finale.

[Chrissytd]

Welp

[MrsMommy]

Omg heck YYYYEEESSSS

[ProfCrash]

Some surprising votes. Congrats Steve

[Deputy Deputy CoS]

Who is shocked that Vanessa is bitter? I can't wait for her to justify her vote.

[blixie]

This blows, ick. 

[Arya]

Sigh. Well there goes another season and another winner that I can't be happy about.

[mooses]

Steve and Liz were pretty equal. Steve hid behind Vanessa and Austin. So did Liz. Both won competitions. I don't see a big difference in their games, except Liz was romantically involved as well. It's not like she voted for Victoria.

She has said she wanted a woman to win in a season of strong women. That seemed pretty clear from her speech that that's what tipped the scales.

[Eolivet]

And now I'm crying because, OK, 80% men winners from 2005, right -- so 20% women. So, statistics would seem to dictate that it's four man winners to every one woman winner (80/20, 4/1). It was four years since a woman won, so as gross as it was, the statistics were right on track for a woman winner. But no. Two women, one man and OF COURSE the man wins.

 

For those keeping track at home, that's now 71% male winners to 29% women. CBS, if you were an employer, you'd have been fired and sued by now.

[Dilandau]

Boo. Another disappointing finale. What a surprise.

[TexasChic]

I think Vanessas speech explained her vote, she wanted a woman to win.

[urusai]

Jeff better ask relevant questions in the backyard.

[Arya]

First Ian, and now Steve? We're never getting rid of the "nerdy fan boy" are we? I just wish both had played a better game and didn't benefit sooo much from a way better player.

[Callaphera]

They take Jace off the memory wall. They leave Jace off of the halfway party Cake of Faces. They ignore Jace at the finale. What a Big Brother legacy to leave behind. Next season, I predict people saying that they don't want to be the Jace of their season.

[MrsMommy]

I'm sorry everyone who wanted one of the girls to win.. I am do excited for steve

[NYGirl]

I thought Vanessa would have voted to the person who got her out..but I guess she's bitter.  I shake my head at her.  I'm glad she didn't win.

This is so embarrassing tbh.

 

I'm so bitter that a season full of legitimately strong, competent women ended with a Steve win.

[Cutty]

I actually forecasted jury votes correct for once. Steve won it on the back of one move. Lets not kid ourselves.

[TexasChic]

Whoa, James!!!

[NYGirl]

Yay James winning FF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm completely so happy now with the winners.

[urusai]

yes jamesuh!

[Arya]

Second shocker of the night. I really though John had that on lock. Good for James. Maybe Meg will throw a date his way now? Hahaha.

[mooses]

Ha! I bet John is pretty surprised. He's had good viewer and audience response.

Happy for James!

I can justify it for you. Steve was never targeted. Not once. He was a non-entity who hardly had to play the game. His claim that he+Asstin was the base of Scamper? Wrong. He was barely part of it. He was just a vote.

 

If he didn't evict Vanessa, he would have no relevant moves to take credit for. He claimed Jackie was a big move and targeting Austwins, but there was literally no one left to target.

 

Steve did nothing relevant before day 98.
