Well, I'm taping BB from 7pm-9pm tonight....hopefully somewhere in that two hour block I will get to see the whole show!
Never. N fact I was going to comment on your 2nd paragraph because I thought it was just ludicrous for anyone to pay to vote. I think they have online voting for a lot of things now, don't they? (no, I've never used free voting either). I guess the voters are friends family hometowns, who have a stake in them winning? But even if the guy wins, the community may have lost more than he won. LolMike Frezon said:I figured Dan or Frank would get "favorite player."
I told my wife before they announced the vote results that our phone bill this month would be about $3000 since I really racked up a lot of text votes for "2 Britney."
I didn't send a single text, of course, but I am always amazed at people who DO get interactive with these shows and pay texting costs for the privilege of "voting" on some outcome/result. Has anyone here ever done that? I wonder how many total votes get cast on a show like that (or American Idol, etc.).
Still can't stand Dan, but he did play a much better game. The entire show is about backstabbing and lying and he did a great job of it.Mike Frezon said:I think Dan blew it.
I was sure that he would tell the jury some incredible story about why he should get the win...but he didn't "bring it" to the finale. He was so calculating throughout...but really dropped the ball when it came to closing the deal. I think to go down 6-1 really reflects that.
He did some minor sucking up throughout the finale...but he needed, for example, to convince Shane that taking him out was the only way for him to advance and win, etc. He needed to explain to Jen. I thought, for sure, Britney would vote for Dan...but that didn't even happen. She seemed to understand (and respect) how she got played as part of the whole "funeral" gambit.
He didn't do any of that...and he lost.
And props to Ian. His closing remarks were well organized and presented. Much better than Dan's.
Still can't believe that jerk won Survivor, anybody from the Hantz family deserves to go home. Bunch of F'ing jackasses. The latest one on Big Brother showed exactly what that family is made of. Good riddance, hope to never see another member of that family again.NolanJ said:Reminded me quite a bit of Russel Hantz' first go on Survivor. He didn't win because too many members of the jury were sore losers.
I am so with you on the silly voting premise. Why in the heck would you spend money voting for a player on a fricking game show?Mike Frezon said:I figured Dan or Frank would get "favorite player."
