It is about dang time that someone I have been rooting for, stands to win the half million dollar prize on Big Brother! Go Dan! Ok...now that my over exuberance is out of the way, for those of you who may have missed tonight's final HOH competition episode (Brain Twin), Dan went against Memphis in the 3rd part of the final HOH competition and, Dan won it. It was a Q&A based on questions asked and answers given by the jurers. So, Dan then chose to evict Jerry and take Memphis with him for final 2! Yea! I am thrilled! I don't know which way the vote will go and, while I do want Dan to take the 1st prize, if Memphis gets it, I will be ok. But, until it goes down, my crossables will all be crossed for Dan! This has been a fun season and being your reporter has been a blast! Thank you to all of you for dishing on all things Big Brother with me this season! I can't wait until next season!

Hey Star Reporter!! If I could I would be giving you a big hug and doing the victory dance with you!!! I'm with you on this is the first time ever that the persons I was rooting for is in the final two. I think Dan should without a doubt win because of his brilliant game plays. But like you, either one is fine with me. My husband has always been convinced that the powers that be somehow rig some of the comps. to help a favorite win. I have to say it has looked that way a few times, but this was a true competition all the way. Now don't think you are off the hook as our reporter. Next week, Survivor needs you. We need you. Come on, you know you want to watch. How else are we going to keep our little club going? Till next week.xoxoxo leenie

Hey Leenie! We will just have to settle for a virtual hug and virtual victory dances! LOL! Dan really has played brilliantly. The man had a plan and saw it through to the end! He was magnificent! He couldn't have done it any better! And, while I have seen where other people have thought that the games were rigged, I have never really believed it. I think that all is fair and, unfortunately, mostly the worst of the worst have won. But, this time, not only the best of the best might win it, but the best of the best of the best! Go the Dan Plan and Go Dan! Yay! LOL! As for Survivor, I will have to see if I can fit it in. I might be able to fit it into my schedule. LOL! Seriously, I watch way too much tv but, I might give it a shot this season. I have never really been a big Survivor fan but, sometimes I have watched it. I will be watching Amazing Race. LOL!

It's funny Cort, I've only seen Amazing Race a few times. If you make the effort for Survivor, then I'll make it for Amazing Race. I know I watch way too much TV but what can I say, I'm addicted. My one and only addiction!! I'm so happy for those young men, Dan and Memphis!! When I look at the players in the jury, I can't see any other winners. I also agree, that I don't believe the shows were rigged. It was just so frustrating to see some of the past winners who didn't deserve to win. leenie

I hope it is Dan! I think that the jury will really have to look at Dan versus Memphis and realize that Dan really played, not only the best between he and Memphis, but the best of everyone and, really the best of all seasons ever! He really didn't stumble even once. He knew how he was going to play it, he stuck to it, and he succeeded!

Hello cortjo. Loved your reports! I hope they have a winter edition again this year! I hope Dan wins too. I hate Memphis though, it sickens me that he could possibly win!

Hello awonderfullife! Thank you for reading my reports! I am sort of torn about whether they should do a winter edition or not. I think they need to re-coop and really work on a new season and, given their lack of twists this season, it seems they need to work a little harder. Don't get me wrong, as usual, I loved this season. I also loved last season. But, there is a little something missing and, I want to see the BB producers get themselves back to the greatness that they once were. And, that may require them to walk away from the winter edition this time and wait until summer. However, you better believe that if they do a winter edition again, I'll be there! I really want Dan to win so, the thought of Memphis winning sickens me a little too. Not because I dislike him so much as I just don't think he deserves to win as much as Dan does! Go Dan!

I out of Dan and Memphis I would like to see Dan win overall. I really wanted Jerry or Remy to win. Thanks for providing us with spoilers. You're a great reporter. Will you be watching Amazing Race or Survivor? I will, I can't wait until they air. Thanks again!

Thank you for reading my spoilers! And, Thank you for the kind compliment! I will be watching both Amazing Race and Survivor. Members of our BB group have talked me into tuning into Survivor this season and, I have been a fan of Amazing Race since almost its birth.

I've been missing out on the discussions the last couple of days because I haven't been feeling well, thanks to the weather and now Ike moving in. But I'm feeling better at the moment so I can join in again, now that we're down to the final two. LOL For the last week or so, I was trying to figure out who would get the votes if it came down to Mempbis and Dan. It was a tough call but after last night's show, I think the picture might be a little clearer. Not only am I hoping Dan wins, but I think he will. He's got Keesha's vote, unless she changes her mind for some reason. And we know she and Renny go together so that would make two. After the last part of the HOH competition, I think April and Michelle might be voting Dan. Their answers make me think they would vote for the one who played the game best. That would be Dan. As April said, Memphis just coasted. If she does indeed vote for Dan, then he might as well have Ollie's. He may have left angry but April has him whipped. No idea about Libra. Jerry I could see going either way since he's had problems with both. I can't believe it's almost over. It seems like it just started! Thanks for all your updates and spoilers, cortjo!

Thanks! Now that Ike has moved on, I've been feeling better. Now I have a lot of catching up to do! See? That's how out of it I was Thursday night. I didn't notice the distance between April and Ollie! I'm not surprised though and I think you're right. I remember one night she was telling Ollie a lot of men will come up to her at clubs and things like that. So it doesn't sound like she'd be in short supply of other men to scratch that itch. Unless they've seen her on the show and want nothing to do with her now. LOL

I think I mostly agree with you except for one thing. Ollie. I noticed, even before the line of questioning, that Ollie and April kept their distance from one another in all the jury house footage. I even mentioned it to my hubby who said he hadn't noticed because he simply doesn't care. LOL! But, I did notice it. LOL! So, when Ollie was asked the question about what was his fatal error in the house and he said letting his heart get involved...that made me wonder if all is not as pretty in la la land anymore between Ollie and Apey. So, I guess we will find out. I have a feeling that it was an itch that Apey needed scratched while they were in the house and, he served the secondary purpose of keeping her safe in the house. But, now that all he can offer is to scratch that itch, he doesn't mean as much to her. LOL! BTW...I am sorry to hear that you haven't felt well lately. I hope you get better soon. I know the feeling of the change of season icky. I feel for ya! So, I hope that they do give it to the one who played the best game. I hope they can set aside their harsh feelings towards what he had to do to get where he is and give Dan the vote! Go Dan!

Well congrats Star Reporter/Brain Twin and YES I did it again! I actually managed to forget after saying it out loud earlier! My girlfriend from next door came over to annoy me about some crap, decided to re-plant my bamboo plants and there we go! Remembered at 9:00 and I yelled at her for making me miss it! I am easily side tracked as it is! So I missed the show, but I did see the commercial so I knew that Dan & Memphis were the final 2 and I just knew how happy my Brain Twin was! I'm glad I guess. In this case I want Dan to win. Yes, you heard it right! I am routing for Dan!!! He does deserve it! He played the best game and that's how you play BB! I don't like Memphis and he's got the car and he will get another $50,000 too so give it to the best player, the dirtiest one of all! We will be doing the happy dance soon! Now when is this supposed to take place because I will need everyone to remind me up till the last minute! You might have to actually call me on the phone to remind me or I will miss it the way things are going and I'm having mouth surgery Tuesday-4 teeth pulled at once so please don't tell me it's then because I hope to be rendered unconcious with pain meds!
@cortjo73 (6498)

12 Sep 08
Oh no Brain Twin! LOL! Ummmm....I wish I could tell you it isn't going to be Tuesday but, it is. Sorry! But, take it from me, you might be just fine to watch the show because I had 3 teeth pulled a couple months ago and, I slept about 3 hours of the day away and, by night time, I was just chilling out watching TV. And, I had no pain at all. Not even the next day and, I only used my pain meds the day of my surgery and bed time the day after the surgery. I didn't need them at all. I mostly took the pain meds before bed the night after to make sure that I wouldn't feel any pain while with my face on the pillow but, I probably didn't need that at all. It was truly painless and, hopefully it will be the same for you! And, even though you are basically forced to root for Dan because you don't like Memphis and, that is all you get, it is nice to see you coming around! LOL!

Opal, It's about time you came around. Now gear up for Survivor so we will have something exciting to talk about. I'm going to send you a pm with my email. wait, didn't I already do that? I guess I'll have to check. My mind isn't what it used to be. As a matter of fact, I take pain pills every six hours because of my back. I'll be thinking of you Tues. while you suffer with the teeth pulling. Don't worry, they numb you up real good. Be careful of dry socket. xoxoxo leenie

Thanks for the update, I missed it tonight. Darn!! Dan is going to win it, he deserves it. The jury will pick the person who played the game the best, that is Dan. Memphis just coasted thru th game. He did get busy the last couple of weeks but that is about it. But then he didn't make too many waves with anyone, but the jury will remember he won the car so its not like he doesn't have anything. Dan's plan worked from the beginning, and he carried thru to the end. WTG Dan.

My pleasure and I am sorry you missed it tonight. I think, and hope, that the jury sees it that way too. Basically, Memphis picked the right person to align with and Dan carried him through. Yes, he did get some work done at the end...last couple weeks...but, he didn't take too many chances and went with The Dan Plan and that is how he is where he is tonight! If the jury doesn't see that, they are bigger idiots than I already thought they were! LOL! Go Dan!

Yippee for Dan. I think he has a 50/50 chance but I do think the votes are hard to decide who will vote for who we will just have to see next week. I will be crossing all my crossables for Dan as well.

LOL! Good! Keep those crossables crossed! LOL! I agree. I sort of think that it could go either way. This jury is really hard to read. They are all so jealous so, that doesn't bode well for Memphis but, they all hold grudges too so, that doesn't bode well for Dan. LOL! I can't wait to see it play out! Go Dan!

Yeah- I agree... Dan and Brian were my 2 favorites from the beginning- I thought oh no when Bryan got the boot- Dan will be close behind.... Smart plays kept him in it! Loving it! Loving it! I like Memphis too- at first I wasn't crazy over him (when he said he was a mixtologist)--- sure bartender! :) Jerry had a good run. Did you vote for the other player who will get $25K? I did not. I'm not sure who I would want to win. I don't think Dan will win- I think most of the jurors don't like him... but he played the BEST game :) and he played smart! Thanks for all the updates and such!

I liked Brian at first too and was worried for Dan at first but, he really did pull through! He did an amazing job! And, I do have hope that he will win it because I think the jury will want the person who played the game the best to get the money and, that is Dan. As for the $25,000 vote, I didn't vote but, if I had, I would probably have given my vote to Renny. The last person I would have given it to is a tie between Libra and April. LOL! I also don't like Ollie. I sort of like Keesha and like Renny a little more than Keesha. Jerry would get it over Ollie for me but, not by much. LOL! Thank you for reading my updates! It was my pleasure providing them!

woo hoo i'm glad that someone you wanted to make it to the end finally did. you and i usually root for the same people so if i had been watching this season i'm sure i would be as excited as you are! i think your reports have been fun though. I've been reading them off and on so I had a little bit of an idea of what was going on. i missed the first few episodes this season and then i figured why bother trying to catch up, i always miss it because at that time i was busy trying to do other stuff. well i hope that dan wins!

I agree! I think he has it too because the jurers have got to realize how well he did and I would want to give it to the person who played it hard and played it well over someone like Memphis who played it safe and really just basically lucked out and picked the right person to align with. LOL! And, it was my pleasure to report on it! Thank you for reading my reports! Go Dan!!!!!

GO DAN! You have a great night.

I think I sort of liked Dan early on but, originally wanted Stephen or Angie to win. Once those two were gone, since I had already started noticing Dan, I just stuck with him and, I am glad I did! Finally! I picked the right guy for the job! LOL! And, he most definitely out played Memphis by probably more than a mile! LOL! Memphis did do well but, not as well as Dan and Dan truly deserves this win! Thank you for reading my reports and, I will look forward to seeing you here next season! Go Dan!

I'm so happy you got to see it Rosekitty! I was hoping you would get to see it! I am thrilled! And, yea...that digging in his nose and not washing his hands, then preparing food thing had me nearly throwing up on myself one night when I was watching him make a peanut butter and butter sandwich on BBAD. Dan and Memphis were watching him dig in his nose and then he went into the kitchen, without stopping at a sink for some running water and soap to wash his hands first, and he put those nasty hands in a loaf of bread, grabbed a piece of bread, no doubt touching the slice below it and the inside of the bag around it, and I nearly tossed my cookies. But, I digress. That is neither here nor there. LOL! Go Dan!

I agree! I didn't like the other people's attitudes either. And, it was last year (Season 8) where Danielle and Evel D!ck won and it was season 6 or 7 that was the All Stars season. The, there was season 9 in the winter just before this season. That was a crazy season. Those people were all nuts! LOL! Go Dan!
