Hello Readers!
It’s Finale Night! As mentioned on my Facebook page, I was watching with my celebratory cupcakes in hand, ready to see how this season ends. Who will be crowned the winner of BB 14? No, I don’t think the Jury will be giving it to Danielle. If Dan doesn’t screw up too badly, he should come out on top, unless Ian gets the best of him. Read on to see who comes out in top!
Dan was still hard at work. He made a Final Two deal with Ian. If Ian threw the first part of the HoH Competition, then Dan would take him to the Final Two, kicking Danielle to the curb. Of course, Dan had a Final Two deal with Danielle as well. Dan told her of the deal he made with Ian, but said it was only to get Ian to drop out of the HoH Competition. Dan also wanted Danielle to drop out of this part of the Competition, so Dan could take this round and go straight to the final round.
I didn’t think Ian and Danielle would be so stupid as to trust what anyone would say at this point in the game, but they did! Ian dropped first, then went inside so Dan could talk to Danielle. Then Dan wanted Danielle to think the idea to drop out was hers. Danielle was unsure at first, then she drops! I was about to start knocking my head on the wall over this. Really you two! Ian and Danielle had all of the power over Dan, but they didn’t see it. I think Dan said it earlier this season when he was coaching Danielle when he said that you shouldn’t be agreeing to deals, that you should be actually making the deal. They both failed to realize the Jury would credit them for getting rid of Dan and he wouldn’t have any hard feelings, once out of the House, of course. Dan needed them to take him, not the other way around. They should be working together to get rid of Dan, not each other.
Dan really wanted to take Danielle to Final Two because, well, it’s a no-brainer. Most people do not respect Danielle on the Jury, and would see her as a puppet, not a player with a real strategy. While speaking to Dan, Danielle was sharing her worries about being able to beat Ian in the next competition. Dan was more concerned with softening up the Jury, and trying to get Danielle to promise to help him in this area by singing Dan’s praises to them.
In Part Two of the final HoH Competition, Danielle and Ian had to scale a bunch of windows and the find the faces of evicted houseguests, then put them in order of their eviction. The player who accomplished this task the quickest won this round. Danielle and Ian did this alone in the BB backyard. Once both players were finished, all three houseguests went into the backyard to find out the results. Ian beat Danielle by less than a minute to take Part Two.He will now face Dan in the Part Three of the HoH Competition.
Once the houseguests were back inside the House, Dan started celebrating, shouting “Final Two!” Ian got upset with Dan because Danielle heard Dan what was yelling. Danielle was furious for two reasons. She was upset because she wouldn’t get to play for HoH, and because she thought Dan and Ian had something going on behind her back. Why would she be upset over this, I don’t know.She has a deal with Dan for Final Two, and she knew what Dan has done in the past. What baffled me the most was that she took her frustration out on Ian, and then Ian didn’t think to say that he knew Danielle wasn’t taking him to Final Two. Dan came out of this unscathed. Danielle was so furious that she threatened to taint the Jury against Ian if he didn’t take her with him to Final Two. Maybe Dan’s magic is that good, that even all his bad actions can bounce off of him and stick to other people.
The show then went to the Jury House as they were discussing who the next member will be. Shane joined the group, and he was still shocked to be out of the game. They then started talking about the pros and cons of the Final Three.
They thought Ian had came a long way from Day 1 in the BB House. He became good at competitions, and could make hard decisions on his own. Frank and Jenn didn’t like Ian because of his “betrayl” of Boogie, and how he ratted them out to the Quack Pack.
None of them saw many winning qualities in Danielle. Like me, the Jury saw her as Dan’s puppet, following and doing whatever he wanted, and not doing anything significant by herself in the game. Shane tried to say that she won competitions, but then he was reminded that she sqandered any power she had by letting Dan control her.
They had a fun time with Dan. Britney was a fan of Dan’s because of how he played the game, and how dangerous he was as a player. Jenn agreed with Britney, admiring how he sent so many people packing. Joe and Frank disagreed with the ladies, saying that his game was dirty. Dan was also sneaky, and it was the wrong way.to play the game. The ladies then responded to the guys by saying there are no real rules to playing BB (except for violence against another person), so it didn’t matter whether Dan played dirty or not. Frank shouldn’t talk. He played dirty in this game as well. He’s just being a sore loser. Most of the Jury Memebers decided that they would.make up their minds at the Finale.
Part Three of the HoH Competition was a “How well do you know your fellow Jury Members” game. Julie would begin a statement that one of the Jury Memebers had previously recorded. Dan and Ian had to guess from two possible answers. The player who guessed the most correct answers out of seven would be the last HoH of the summer. After a crushing victory (or a thrown competition by Dan), Ian won, giving him the power to take one other person with him to the Final Two!
The show then rushed the Final Three into the BB Livingroom in order to have the Final Eviction. Most people would have expected Ian to have made the smart move and choose to take Danielle with him. Nope! He said he had to live up to his word and take Dan. Danielle looked disappointed, even though she would have done the same thing to Ian. Oh, Ian! This was such a big risk he was taking!
The Jury Memebers were then brought out and asked Ian and Dan questions about their game-play. The Jury then heard the Final Two’s final pleas as to why they should win the BB 14. Ian said he was disgusted with the way Dan played the game. He highlighted his competition wins, and let the Jurors know that Dan was able to stay in the game longer because he was a coach, having essentially three chances to win the game, whereas Ian only had one. Dan said that he was in trouble from the reset (that he voted for), and that the only way he would win was by playing ruthlessly. He had to control the game and constantly playing people around the clock because he knew he couldn’t win the game by winning competitions. He could only win by getting rid of people.
The Jurors then put their keys into the lock, this time voing for.someone to win. Julie Chen then brought back the other evicted houseguests. No, Willie was not invited to the festivities. They shared their thoughts on the season because they were allowed to watch everything from home. The Vote was finally revealed. It was a suprising result. The winner of Big Brother 14 was…Ian Terry! Yes, Readers, brains did win out over deception. The Jury voted 6-1 for him to win. The only reason why Dan got a vote was because Danielle promised she would do so. Really? I think she’s still under Dan’s spell. Oh, before I forget, the viewers also got to vote.for their favourite player this season. I’m so disappointed in their choice. They voted for Frank. He received $25 000.
Well, Readers, there goes another season of Big Brother. There were many highs and lows this summer. I was wrong about my assumptions of some of the players, but it didn’t ruin how much I enjoyed watcing them do crazy things three times a week.
Now that BB 14 is over for the year, I’ll be turning to my other reality shows to fill the void. I’ll be posting on two shows on my blog this fall season – Survivor: Philippians, and America’s Next Top Model: College Edition. I hope you will be popping onto my blog to check out how these shows develop. Thank you so much to those who have been checking in, it means a lot to me.
Until my next post, Readers!
Reese.
