Re: Big Brother 14
I'm sorry, but that finale was a crock... Dan played possibly the best single season in BB history and lost because a bunch of people were bitter he was better than them. He ran the house, period.
Lets rewind the clock and look at all the wow moments and the "did that really just happen, did he do that" and see who we're talking about. Dan or Ian. Hell, Ian talks about how he put his own fate in his hands all season, but the only reason he even survived the final 4 was because Dan is a freaking genius and managed to get Dani to take him off so he could vote out Shane. Just go back and watch Ian's reaction, he had no part in saving himself because he was merely a by product of a move by Dan.
But for the most telling reason of all, just think about this. Dan is a FORMER WINNER who came back into the house with the most blatant target you can possibly have. You can't let him get to the finals, that is INSANE!
If you are a former champion, and you make it back to the finals, you have to have played the best game. There is literally no other explanation.
Look at Dr. Will. He played an amazing all star season (he also had the built in advantage of having 100% trust in someone else in the houes). And yet he still couldn't get past the final 4, because at that point it is plainly obvious he had played the best game and if he's in the finals he should win. So the moment he no longer has any kind of power, he got backdoored. No amount of slick talking or manipulation can hide the fact that a former champion has no business continuing to stay in the game, and that target only becomes larger, brighter, and more obvious, the deeper you get int he game. No amount of talking can hide the fact that it is the only logical move.
Even Dr. Will couldn't save himself from the fact that when have the opportunity late in the game to take out the best player (and that best player happens to have already won the freaking game before!) you do it. No ifs, ands, or butts...
And yet Dan survived the final 4 and 3 without winning a single competition. Dan, the man running the house, a former champion, managed to continually manipulate people into doing what he wanted to the bitter end. Something no one else in BB history has done as well or as long.
If I told you the day Dan entered the house, that he would still be alive with 4 people left, wouldn't win any more HOH competitions or the final 4 veto, and he would still make the final 2, you would have had my head examined because it defies all logical explanation. It can't be done! lol
Ian played a pretty good game. Fine. But Dan played arguably (and I wouldn't even say arguably, I'd say without a doubt) the best single season in BB history. Look at the Jury, 6 of the 7 people were sitting there as a direct result of each week playing exactly as Dan set it up. The only exception is Jenn, and at that point in the game she was cannon fodder anyway, to be executed when there was no other option. Every other member of the Jury was there as a direct result of Dan. Not as a result of some larger alliance or plan by someone else, but as a direct result of Dan manipulating people to do exactly as he wanted. And they all knew it (just listen to them when they first see the other Jury members... each of them pretty much would just walk in, shake their heads and be like, "Dan!").
Every single person in the house knew how dangerous Dan was and how they couldn't let him keep running the house, and yet he did so anyway until the bitter end. And they reward that absolute brilliant game play with 1 single vote. That's a crime!
The best player did not win this season, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who could say otherwise with a straight face.
