I wasn’t shocked that she beat Taylor but I was shocked that she beat Xavier

Shocker??!!

Nope

I know who wins. Want me to spoil it for you?

I am pulling for Frankie to win.

The only whiner IMO is Nicole.

I am finding the women to be so annoying. Whining every time they have to actually compete, then getting their feelings hurt when they have to. Xavier deserved better. Wait....did he get the boot? I can't remember.
Not sure who is most annoying, Britney, Nicole, or Frankie.
Geez I hope Frankie goes home soon!

I did like the ball in maze challenge though where each time dropped by a minute. Very strategic.

I get a kick out of Frankie.

Cody didn't seem like the sharpest crayon.
Meanwhile, it really bugs the heck out of me that Frankie continually humps every guy in there, and I'm sure they fear getting put on the chopping block if they resist.
He's worse than Kevin Spacey.
Who does this??

It was pretty obvious that the “dream team” was going to lose.

If Cody really wanted him and Frankie to be safe it would have been a better idea to be on different teams.

I still think Xavier will be put up every time.

Apparently its anyone's game!
Putting Xavier up was a no brainer. If they had left in Nicole, she would have lost and nothing would have been accomplished.
Xavier is a beast! It was funny that was it Frankie or Cody who seemed shocked he won his season.

I've been going back and forth on a girl winning, however, if Xavier goes, it's possible that Frankie and Cody just exchange control to the end.
I remember Cody winning a lot, but not Frankie.

I dislike Nicole so much! I wonder what Brittany said about her?

I agree that Xavier should be put up every time.

I don’t remember Cody and Frankie having such a bond.

I think a girl will win because every competition will probably be two guys until there is only one left.

I should have seen that coming......poor Cameron. Can't catch a break. He's an overthinker.
Since no one knew him, he was the obvious one to take out. No one had an outside the game attachment to him.
Now, it would make sense to put Xavier up in every challenge if they get the chance.
If they don't, Cody vs Frankie seems pretty obvious.
Socially unacceptable or not, but I just cannot deal with Frankie's prancing around. Its like he so badly wishes he was his sister that he mirrors her.
Taylor started the game stupid, which I don't recall her doing it last time, but considering she started as a pariah, maybe she did.
Nicole's whining is also driving me crazy.
Not sure I like the fact that only two compete against each other while others watch.

I hated Josh and find Frankie so danged annoying
Agreed

Xavier is a good player but he is too full of himself.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Cameron win but I also like Brittany.

I hated Josh and find Frankie so danged annoying. Can't he just glom onto his sister and make his money as her lackey?
The rest I like.... Well, Cody I'm ambivalent.
Of that bunch, if I'm picking purely by what I thought brain power, I'd rank
1. Xavier
2. Cameron
then the rest.

I think when you make your final speech, you mold it to your audience. The jury this time were not angry nor vindictive. If they had been, Jag would have offended them all, but considering this group had to recognize they did very little to win, Jag's speech was on point.
He didn't deny, he didn't back away from his actions. If you noticed, in all goodbye speeches he took credit. Even in the end, he claimed the entire game went as he willed it, and it was true.
Matt could have been ticked that Jag and Bowie took out Cerie instead of Felicia, but he accepted the game as it went.
Had Jag booted Matt and taken Bowie (as I also thought he might), he'd have to defend his decision to take the easy route. However, I think he easily beats Bowie Jean. So instead, he argued his strengths.
I'm sure Bowie Jean had to consider that if she got out Matt and Jag, then she would be the biggest target. I'd say either way she played for 3rd, but she did have a very real chance that Jag might take her to final. Unlike the others, she didn't complain she was screwed over by them.

I thought Jag’s speech was awful and Matt’s was good but their speeches didn’t make a difference. The jury had made their decision before either of them spoke.

I had no problem with the Cirie/Jared connection. This isn’t the first time Big Brother has done that. As far as an advantage, it didn’t help them at all.

The real surprise was that no one (except for Izzy) figured it out.

Bowie Jane could have won it all but she decided to go all in with Jag. That was her downfall.

I actually thought Jag would screw over Matt and take Bowie Jean to the final.

I think I've figured it out.

Sadly, the right guy won and by about the amount I thought he would. He gave one heck of an argument and Matt seemed too nervous and unprepared to make his case.
I wonder, had Bowie Jane put up Matt and Jag (Jag would have been voted out for sure), when she had the chance, would she have won the game?
Cirie, Felisha, Matt and BJ......could they have found a way to get Matt out then? Would BJ easily win against Cirie and Felisha? Can you imagine how long a comp against Felisha and Cirie would have lasted?
Bowie played for 3rd and seemed happy to have gotten it. (I would have loved to hear her closing argument).
Glad to see Cameron got fan fave. He was my fave all game as well. Funny when he was told he was actually a hero instead of a villain. Makes me wonder about editing. But he really seemed to have a better grasp than most. He got screwed over because Red believed Jarrod over Cameron. Wish they had asked Red about that last night. I think Red and Cameron and Bowie could have controlled the game as well had they stuck together.
I hated the Cirie/Jarrod thing. I don't think its at all fair to give two people an advantage over everyone else at the start.

Do you want to know who won the first and second challenge?

I tried watching the After Hours the other day, just to see who won the first challenge, but it's like watching paint dry. Just couldn't do it. It's like listening to three stoners discussing shades of blue.

I am pulling for Matt.

Jag and Bowie scammed him with the number thing. That ticked me off.

Almost forgot the celebration for Felicia gone. She says she's going to influence in the jury house, but she has had no influence throughout the game.
Watching the jury yesterday I can't help noticing how Cameron always seems to have the proper grasp of the game.
Was shocked Jag didn't boot Matt, but I think it would be tough to argue later he played an honest game.
Didn't like the way they scammed Matt in the pick a number, but he should have suggested writing it down.
Don't know who wins now. Can't be Bowie as she had chances to change the game and didn't.
So it's Matt if you're voting on likeability or Jag if you're voting strategy.
I like Matt more, but I think Jag did better.....although BB changed the game to keep him in the house.....and it was Matt who saved him.

I didn't go, my stress level was running too high. However, just found out a buddy went to AZ and didn't ask me to go with him. I'm a bit ticked.
It's crazy around here! The parade is tomorrow.

Were you here?

A celebration 52 seasons in the making for Texas @Rangers fans. 👏

If they come back home to win, I'll be there for Games 6 and 7

Oh well, I guess you missed the celebration on the field but CONGRATULATIONS!

I didn’t realize that this is the first World Series win for Texas.

You only need 26 more to catch up with the Yankees!

Felicia can’t possibly win.

Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike Felicia?? She looks into the camera and claims she's winning this whole thing?? Her argument totally revolves around the fact she can't compete in anything and she's only there because people know she has no chance.
I'm going out on a limb and saying, if she were to win, I'm done watching this show!
Looks like Matt is about to learn that Jag has his own agenda.
I don't know why Jag and Matt are still lying to Felicia and Cirie? It's pretty obvious where they fall on the position ladder and it ticks me off every time they complain they aren't being treated well by people carrying them through the season!
I've lost all respect for Bowie Jane, who I thought for a moment had a real strategy. She would have been so much smarter to have booted Matt or Jag when she controlled the voting. She vs Cirie and Felicia could have been an easy win. Instead, she settles for 3rd? Who knows, maybe 2nd if Jag and/or Matt get serious.
Maybe that's worth it? But why not boot her after final 4 and drag along Felicia again?
Once again I'll say it, one of the most poorly played seasons ever. Also, allowing Jag to stick around after being voted out 11-0 totally changed the game.

Daughter_derf was telling me the other day how much she is now enjoying this season

I guess there is a generation gap.

Daughter_derf was telling me the other day how much she is now enjoying this season

I guess there is a generation gap.

Felisha seems to think that her escaping eviction so many times means she deserves to win the game....then she complains about being named for eviction.
The only proof she is showing is that she has had no control the entire game.
I wish I understood Bowie Jane's strategy better. She's supposed to be a lawyer, but her argument before the court would only show she avoided all opportunities to affect the game....so far.
Daughter_derf was telling me the other day how much she is now enjoying this season. I see it as a train wreck season where everyone panics often, but does nothing to change the game.

Even the part about my grandson?

OK now I’m scared. I agree with everything you said again!

Of course he takes after his grandfather! The Derf genes are very strong with this one!

So.....hate Felicia even more now.
Terrible episode as so many mistakes made.....

Cirie should know better than to ever tell Fe she has a potential deal with Matt. What positive could come from that? "Hey, I know we have a final two, but I just made a secret deal with someone else"....
Felisha wakes up Jag in the middle of the night?? She was probably hungry. Can't believe she hides potatoes in her robe.
Bowie absolutely positively should have put up Matt and Jag! Whichever wins, takes off himself and by now the whole house knows that Jag needs to be gone.
Gutless! She's playing for 3rd place. What will be her story in the end? I hid a lot?
Felisha in final 3 says..."Hey, none of you saw me as any kind of threat so dragged me through the game!" What a strategy!

You think if I bought him a really big mouse he'd know the difference?


If he takes after his grandfather, he probably wouldn’t know the difference.

I've never missed a Rangers playoff game going back to 1996, so this will be a first. Yeah, Friday's game was a kick in the nutsack for sure, but it is just so loud (really loud!) and you're up and down and up and down and yelling until your voice is gone....I'm too old for that much excitement. While I want to be there, sometimes it's easier in front of the TV.
I figure if they sweep, they'll win in AZ so won't matter. If they come back home to win, I'll be there for Games 6 and 7.
I've NEVER had my team win it all while I was there so I'm holding back my exuberance level. Of course, in the past it was me that jinxed them, but this is the new and improved Derf.
I have had some money rolling in lately, so just waiting for the house to crumble or something to take the money away. Thought we were gonna flood away last night.

The kid has everything! Although he saw a kangaroo at the State Fair that he'd really like. You think if I bought him a really big mouse he'd know the difference?

I’ve been to a few playoff series and I found them to be exhilarating! Everyone is having such a good time.

I can understand why your experience was draining though. Didn’t the home team lose all of their games?

I’ve only been to the World Series once and that was waaay back in 1976 when the Yankees got swept by the Reds.

That was depressing except for Thurman Munson. I seem to remember he had a great series.

Sounds like someone has a birthday coming up! I hope Grandpa_derf uses his winnings for a REALLY nice gift!

I sold one of my World Series games set of tickets. They are just bringing crazy money! Even a parking pass is going for more than I paid for a ticket.
Guess I should have listened to my buddy who told me to buy all the extra seats I can, but I just hate jacking with the sales on Stubhub.
I hate to admit it, but being at the game is draining!

Ummm, about a 150 weeks?

How old is the little guy now?

Well C'mon!....ya gotta pronounce that as Cum moan though.
Daughter_derf took Grandchild_derf last weekend. He really liked petting the kangaroo.(he called me to tell me last night)

I want to go to the Texas State Fair

Still having intermittent trouble

I agree with everything you said.
As far as the site being down, I had no trouble. Maybe you were banned for a day.

Soooo....with every episode I dislike Felicia more.
Cirie made her first mistake since her kid left. She was doing such a good job of keeping stuff to herself. Credit her for always being aware of the game's future.
Now Matt HAS to take out Jag. A backdoor from Matt would be genius. Not sure he has the mindset for it. He needs Jag down to 4 though.
It would make me sick if anyone other than the above two or Bowie Jean were to win.
Do Fe and Cirie really not know that if Blue came down, one of them goes up?
For this year's season being nothing but paranoid players, how did no one realize Matt and Jag controlled the game 100%?

BTW, was this site down for a while or was it my area? I couldn't get on here yesterday. Kept getting error messages. Is this place going out of business?

Thanks, and don't stop rooting for them! Funny, I'm more excited by that win than any stock trade.
I bet $500 at 39-1.
I laid off enough to cover the cost of my bet yesterday though. I feel a bit dirty for that.

in Vegas, I put down a decent sized bet on the Rangers to win the AL

Are we rich!!!

Congrats on the win!
