Big Brother – Wednesday, September 19th – FINALE NIGHT!

-->

So we have been waiting for this night for 2.5 months.  Does Dan have what it takes to win this game?  I seriously hope not, but if these other two dumb-dumbs want to take him to the final two, then they have no one to blame but themselves.  We last left the HGs being flung up against the wall.  Not in the Ari Bachelor’esque style, but the cruel Big Brother method.  My favorite thing about finale night is when they light everyone’s picture on the introduction video.  It makes me think about the first episode of the season, and makes me so excited for next year! 

            While on the flying hooks, Danielle says she realizes that she has no one in this house, and she has to rely on herself.  Welcome to the game, Danielle!  15 minutes before last week’s eviction, Dan cut a deal with Ian to fall off in the first 10 minutes of the game.  I know Ian is a smart player, so I would be shocked if he actually goes through with it.  17 minutes into the competition, Ian throws the competition, and that is the worst thing you can do.  After he drops, Dan sends Ian inside in order to talk to Danielle alone.  Dan then tries to convince Danielle to fall.  There is no way she would throw this game, right?  10 minutes later, she gives up, so she can earn Dan’s trust.  I can’t believe how easy they are making this for Dan.  How can you win this game if you throw the competitions?  Why are they seeking Dan's approval and trust?  He should be seeking their trust!  I am almost ready to stop writing right now.  It’s so frustrating to see these people make mistake after mistake!

            The second task involves climbing a building and cleaning windows.  The windows have faces of an evicted HG.  You must find all the HGs and put them in order of where they were evicted.  The person with the fastest time wins part two.  They made it seem like Ian went faster, but I have a feeling Danielle will win this part, thus ensuring him 3^rd place.  I was wrong!  Ian wins with a time of 6:04 compared to Danielle’s time of 7:31.  His strategy of just wiping away the names helped him out.  Now, Danielle and Dan had a strategy of what to say and do if she were to win.  Dan says this would ensure Danielle being taken to the final two, but if Ian wins part three his allegiance to Dan might be the downfall of this plan.  Ian doesn’t like confrontation, so Danielle’s fake argument with Dan might just work.  Danielle yells at Ian threatening him with fewer jury votes.  Ian doesn’t respond well to threats though.  Dan wants to use Ian’s anxiety about Danielle to have him throw part three of the competition.  Ian says he won’t throw this competition, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does. As Ian leaves, Dan says menacingly, "You will throw this competition."  Yikes!

            Poor naïve Shane.  He deserved to be evicted, and his exile to jury was to be expected.  The 6-part jury then debates about whom they think they should win.  They always makes it seem like they will vote one way, but they always vote another way.  They say that Ian was a rat.  This is coming from Jenn and Frank who made a deal with Dan, and he betrayed them as soon as he had the opportunity!  How is Jenn defending Dan’s game and bashing Ian’s game?  I don’t get it.  I think it would be a huge mistake to take Dan to the finale.  If Ian wins part three, he better think about taking Danielle with him instead of Dan. 

Speaking of part three!  Dan looks so smug while Ian looks like he is about to spew all over the place.  Julie asks Ian and Dan questions about comments the jury has made.  They both get the first two questions correctly, but then Dan misses the next 3.  Could this be a part of his strategy?  Ian did it!  He won final HOH!  I hope hope hope that he picks Danielle to go to the end with him.  HE CAN’T WIN AGAINST DAN!  And just like that, Ian gave Dan another $500,000.  Ian decides to evict Danielle because he believes that she has too many friends in the jury.  He also wants to keep his final two deal with Dan.  Here’s how I see the votes going down tonight.

Ashley: Ian

Britney: Ian

Frank: Ian

Joe: Dan

Jenn: Dan

Shane: Dan

Danielle: Dan

            I am just so sick and torn.  It’s hard to hate Dan for playing the game well, but I want Ian to win so much more!  During the jury question portion of the game, Ian quickly realizes that Dan is a ruthless player, and he won’t go down without a fight.  Dan seems prepared for all of his questions, and Ian is giving lackluster responses.  It seems like it might come down to if the jury respects a cleanly played game over Dan’s dirty game.  Finally!  Danielle finally asks Ian if he had a final two deal with Dan.  It’s funny because they should have been asking these question weeks ago, but I guess when someone grooms you about strategy, flatters you when you need comforting, and makes you think you are special, it’s hard to see the bad in them.  I am now conflicted over who might win.  That last comment might have swayed a few people…. 

            Ian speaks his mind and states the facts of his game play.  Dan tries to flatter the rest of the jury members and ironically he was the least believable tonight.  He actually tries to throw Ian under the bus because he was “lucky” this season.  That is a load of crap!  I hope Ian wins!  Even while the jury was voting Dan was sucking up to all of them.  He is such a sleaze ball!  Here’s how the votes went down.

Ashley: Ian (Her dream board paid off!)

Britney: Ian

Frank: Ian

Joe: Ian

Jenn: Ian – What?!  Shocker!!

Shane: Ian

Danielle: Dan

            This is one of the few seasons that I am happy for the winner!  I will also have to say that Dr. Will called it in week 2 or 3 when he said that Ian would win the game!  Frank even wins Fan Favorite!  A newbie won the game!  I didn’t think it was possible.  This show is so great!  As always, I want to hear what you think.  Let me know in the comments below.
