Steven did a good job of that too when talking about Jerry, anyway it was nice to see Dan winning 7-0, he really deserved it, and Memphis always came across as an incredibly sleazy person to me the whole summer. I did enjoy this season except for the boring eviction nights, seeing the house all vote the same way got kind of boring. Anyone think we will see another winter edition next year, I have read plenty of rumors online saying it might be a possiblity.

I was waiting for Brian to bring up Jerry's folding like a cheap chair when he threw Brian under the bus and couldn't bring himself to wear anything associated with the military since he broke his word.

Well this was one of the few seasons I didn't end up disliking someone so much that I couldn't watch. April or Libra could have gotten me to that point had they gone further. I really think Dan should be considered the 2nd best player to play this game. He just excelled at every facet of the game. He was awesome at challenges when he wanted to be. He was charming and likable to everyone in the house even after he would backstab them. He played a great mental game as well. I'm not so sure his "roulette" game was a purposeful attempt to get enemies so Memphis would take him to the final 2. He made a few mistakes but overall he played an awesome game. Especially after he put himself in such a hole after the first week. I thought it was a good season and nice to see so many people taking it for a game and not personally like usual. Of course that makes it boring for some viewers. These same people will complain how over the top the houseguests from the last two seasons were.

Dan definitely deserved the victory over Memphis. I would have liked to see Renny win the jury prize, though. At least it wasn't Jerry. I wish we would have had a chance to not only hear from Angie but also to hear what Jerry thought about Dan being America's Player for that week. Jerry kept saying that the only way Dan could possibly be redeemed as a Judas was if he was America's Player. Well, guess what!
And Jessie is still a douche. Possibly an even bigger douche.

I guess I'm one of the few who hated this season, and was bored to tears the whole time. My wife equally hated it.
In the end we couldn't pick somebody we would want to win even.
Even the finale was pointless, everybody knew dan would simply because the memphis was to stupid.
I think it might have been the dimmest cast yet. I wont' say Dan didn't play well, but it really looked based upon how they edited it, he was playing against a group of buffons so really is it that much of an achievement.
I mean, Jerry, Keesha, Mephis - a bunch of dopes.
That's my only explanation for how Memphis wouldn't put together a good speech, and also layout their alliance Vs being almost acceptable about being thrown under the bus by dan. Also, how Keesha would believe it was just Memphis voting her off etc.
I hate their tweaks to the game, but unless they do something different like celebrity big brother or something I don't see much happening from now on.

That said, I can't believe how much Keesha didn't "get it" even at the end. She still thought all that was Memphis' thoughts. I think Dan was just as much responsible for her leaving if not more.
The truth is, if Memphis took Keesha to the end (or even Jerry), he may have won. Most the jury house hated Keesha and Jerry. But I think he got swept away in Dan's plans.

Interesting interview with Ollie. BB2's Bunky doesn't hold back.
The good part starts at around 3 minutes in.

I saw about the last half of the show - I can't believe how bitter and self-involved so many of these nancies were even after the show was over. The show has been on for several years - how did they think it was going to go once they were in the house? Fucking idiots.
Not enough Angie, too.

Did Bunky just say what I think he said? I'm honestly surprised he walked out of there without getting punched in the face.

I think that was the point he was making to Ollie. Seemed like an apt analogy. He didn't mean to offend anyone other than Memphis by using slurs as poorly thought out as what Bunky said? And I do not think Ollie got it.

Bunky's interview seemed too extreme and biased to me. I am not familiar with the site he represents, but when you interview a houseguest, just get to the point. It's fine to ask tough questions, but you're there to interview, not to inject your views and/or speak for the homosexual community just because you're gay yourself. I see what he was driving at, but it was just in really bad taste.
I would have to imagine that any African-American fans of Big Brother who also frequent "Welovebigbrother.com" are pissed at Bunky now, and rightfully so.

I mean I got why Bunky said it, but it was uncalled for. What Ollie said was wrong, but what Bunky could have made his point without making that comment. It makes Bunky no better than Ollie.

Probably not. These trends seem to come in twos. If you recall, the two seasons before last featured a scrawny obnoxious douchebag and an foolish anorexic whore as the final 2.

Exactly. Those are two different things. Memphis is obviously not gay so what Ollie said was simply meant to call him a name that would get his attention. It's pretty common. That doesn't make it right but its fairly common in society. What Bunky said would have been something completely different. He was using a derogatory term for something Ollie actually is. People forget they are on TV. They say things not remembering others will hear. Emotions got the best of him. Let it be, Bunky.

Wow, did Bunky really just say that? I actually had to rewind because I was so flabbergasted. I understand Bunky's point, and I think it's a valid one, but he could have made his point in a far more tactful way.

Big Bro Walks Over Memphis
Posted Sep 18th 2008 1:15PM by TMZ Staff
"Big Brother" is in a little doo doo this AM.
In the first episode of BB10, Memphis won a sweet 1969 Camaro in a car-pulling contest (don't ask). Small problem -- "Big Brother" couldn't give the car away because the show didn't own it. We're told someone else actually held the title. In fact, the car had already been returned to the owner almost immediately after the contest.
Memphis the Mixologist was none the wiser because no one told him about the snag while he was inside the house. But on Tuesday, Memphis gained his freedom, losing to Dan, and learned the car he had come to treasure wasn't really his. Another problem -- the car has been repainted since it was on the show.
We're told producers are now scrambling to buy the car from the real owner. Sources say the real owner will turn the keys over for $24,000. A '69 Camaro online sell for anywhere between 7 and as much as 80 grand. Fact is, Big Bro doesn't have a lot of bargaining power, so they are more SOL than HOH.
We made several calls to "Big Brother" -- so far, no comment.

I was happy to see Dan win the money, but I was hoping Renny would win the $25,000. I saw Dan on the Bonny Hunt Show today and he did a good job.
