Big Brother 17: Here’s What Happened With Part Two of The Final HoH Competition

1st

LOL 1st and 2nd now 3rd?

I hope Steve wins the final HOH and vote Vanessa out. If he does not win the final HOH, Vanessa will vote him out.

I hate that Liz even is most likely to be in final two. all she’s done memorable throughout the season is to have sex under the blankets with Austin. But she seems to be just beaming at how special she is to have made it this far (which is only due to the process of elimination)
No wonder she couldn’t do as well as Steve on a crossword puzzle. The words didn’t end in
“uh” so she was probably confused.

Come on Steve … prove you belong in the finale!! And do not take Vanessa with you if you win the final comp.!!!!! I know you are smarter than that. . Aren’t you???
Lisa, you have been so great this year! Always delivering an informative post even when you didn’t have much to work with. I will definitely be joining you in the Reality tv Chat! 🙂 Back to Saturday’s chores! 🙂
Later!! 😎

Hi Lisa Marie,
Thank you for your work this season this is my first time really in to the Blog and love it!!
I just hope that Steve is smart enough to get Van out and take Liz with him to the final two.
She has told everyone that came in the house she would take them to the final two and so be it that she is evicted in the final 3 position. Serve her right.
Carmaa is a bitoch!!
See you next year God willing and the creek dont rise!!!!!

I do not Like Van…..but the Game is about Big Brother, which includes Lies, Crying, Fakeness and such,…..A True BB Lover would know that Van played that game to a T. NO, I dont like that she played it that way……but shes a true BB Player…..and as much as I hate to state that fact……Van deserves to Win. Steve didnt do much until the end of the Game……..Van has been playing all along and that’s just a Fact ! I know that I’m taking the worse Road here…..but Facts are Facts…..and if anyone can play as hard as she played, then screw Steve and let Van take it !

Thanks Lisa if it hadn’t been for your blog I would have stopped watching a long time ago. Does cbs own part of Ariana grande? Pleeeeez stop it!

Go Steve!!! You don’t deserve it, but how many of us get things we don’t deserve. I do! 🙂
Later!! 😎

Hi Dough! I haven’t been able to find the interview either!
Does anyone know when the next comp is going to be held??
Jo

Jeanne4488—you are spot on with the way I feel. Liz and the “uh” is so true and makes me laugh. And Vanessa and her stupid cap is so annoying. I’m not sorry the season is almost over. I’ll finish it only because of all the time I devoted to it. The only outcome I’ll be ok with is if Steve should win and he evicts Vanessa. But in reality he’s been a coward in regards to Vanessa every single time so I fully expect to keep her no matter what he’s saying now. I don’t think he’ll win though, so it is what it is.

It seems like the HGs were a bunch of dummies this season. From day one Vanessa has played them and they have blindly done what she wanted like lambs to slaughter. No one had the courage to seriously try to get rid of her even her lies were made clear to everyone.
Then they bring Frankie Grande (the advertisement agency for his sister) and I lost interest in a hurry. Why not bring in Evil Dick or the Hance family with one week left on the show?

Thank’s Lisa, it worked! I saved it in my e-mail and sent it to Jeanne!

Jo

Thank you Lisa. It worked & I added it to my favorites.

Vanessa is a BIG BULLY she’s a card shark for crying sake, she’s dangerous

@ April …. my enthusiasm for who might win ,, went out the door with JMac. Now it’s just down to Vanessa (the bully) .and that bulging eye innocent expression she works so hard at!,
Liz, who you can tell is very much “into herself” whenever she has to make some sort of speech or is in the DR, and just gave us a showmance to feel disgusted about & she’s just plain undeserving of winning $500,000 for her participation in this game. And finally Steve – which I have to root for at this point because I don’t want to see it given to the other 2.
I admit Vanessa played it to the hilt. I just find her VERY sincere tone of voice and “oh so innocent” expressions while convincing her victims what they should do to advance HER game – all just totally nauseating. She called people out for being dishonest throughout the game and nobody in there was more dishonest than her.

I’m a newbie. Am I mistaken or did someone say that the runner-up will get $50,000?
I could live with Vanessa getting 50K – though I dislike her a lot – at least she played hard and smart. But the idea of Liz getting 50k just makes me sick. She seemed such a nasty person – totally self-absorbed and with an enormous sense of entitlement. She wasn’t playing, she was just being the kind of person she is – selfish, self-centered, and entitled.

My vote goes to Steve – not because I like him, but because I don’t dislike him as much as Vanessa and, especially, Liz.

WELL SAID MAX!!

Sharon–yes the runner-up gets $50K and I agree with you especially about Liz. And I agree about Steve also. I could live with Vanessa getting the runner-up prize but truly wish someone would have chucked her out of the house a long time ago.

@ Max i agree 100%

@April i agree 100%

It’s late, going to bed. Nothing new to add. Just have to wait till next season. Merry Christmas everyone. Ho Ho Ho.

They say, Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week! It sure is in here! Where’s my Star? tendr, Junksies, Sherry, Marie, C’est Moi, Annie, Jeanne4488, Bob, Macy and all of the other night owls? It’s lonely in here!!

Jo. <—————– lonely! (:

Guess I'll go read a book or play my new Scrapple game. " All by myself … don't wanna be all by myself anymore!" It's getting sad because it's almost over! 🙂 I love all of you BBBloggers!! <3. Nite! May be back …
Later!! 😎

BB gave the guests a deck of cards and Vanessa taught Liz and Steve how to play Gin Rummy (that portion happened before BBAD started) and later Mom Vanessa came out of her lair to check on the kiddies and found Liz holding her cards upside down so Van instructed her how to hold them properly by fanning and don’t molest the deck while shuffling. In what sounded like Italian including hand motions Vanessa said; “you must be gentle.” Seeing Liz’s reaction was priceless.

I’m easily amused….

@jolee, I try to spend some time with James weekend nights…. even if its just a movie , TV or watching him sleep. My hands are still busy making bracelets… that I NEED to sell.
So I’m not on here much.

Hey guys!! I’m with tendr…..weekends I tend to not be OL much if at all so Mike and I can spend time together. In fact, he just went down to bed and I am watching the card game on BBAD. Liz was holding her cards *fanned in*and clumped together so they did look upside down! Obviously NOT a card player! Snd she was teaching Steve to play Gin!!!lol
Anyway, speaking of watching a movie, we just saw the Boy Next Door with Jennifer Lopez. Creepy scary gory flick!!! I kind of screamed at least twice!!lol Seriously tho, it was good. Just very TENSE!!!!
I’m not blogging much in general. Nothing new to talk about, Just waiting for Wed. Sun nite is going to be so boring! I hate it when they do the walk down memory lane crap. It’s so obviously fake!!

This was about 3 hours ago. But Steve was pacing the backyard alone practicing his speech to evict Vanessa, emphasizing he’s Cody to her Derrick. Boom!!!! Maybe our boy has grown up!!!lol

Good morning fellow bloggers. Last night I didn’t even try to watch BBAD. I just
couldn’t make myself watch another night of the three playing games and irritating
me. I went to bed early and now am up and trying to figure out why I’m up.

OT: For those of you haven’t seen “A Walk in the Woods” with Nick Nolte and Robert
Redford, it’s worth the time to go see it. I am not a Robert Redford fan, but over the
years have maintained a fondness for Nick Nolte. Nick shows the bad effects of too much
drinking, and Redford shows the effects of too much outdoor living, but they are hilarious
together. Our regular group met for lunch,but only two of us went to the show. We loved
it. It probably is much more entertaining for those of an older generation, as we can
commiserate and relate to them better. But I recommend it highly for a break from the
depression of a poor season of BB.

I can’t understand how BB keeps cheating season after season with their season picks
and never has to take responsibility for this. This is not the first season they have done
this, esp. after A. Grodner came on board. But it is, I think, the worst one yet.

The basic game plan of the show was a winner and shouldn’t have been messed with to try to force a certain outcome that only the production staff wants. All season the production staff has been at odds with the fans. They have pushed agendas that the fans couldn’t accept and did a lousy job in casting from the beginning. Then they took away the voting of the fans on things that kept them feeling a part of the show. They took away the twists we came to enjoy and look forward to as part of BB and added twists that were miserable failures. They have consistently ignored our complaints and suggestions on how to try
to fix a doomed season. (Not by cheating,but by going back to the old way of doing things
and allowing the players to play the game without production interference.)

There is another aspect of this show that has been overlooked by them. Even if a player is a good player by their standards, if they are not likable or have played the game with a long list of dirty tricks and whims….they are not generally going to be supported by the
fans. Human nature pulls us towards the underdogs in many cases. The basic problem
with this show is that they don’t apparently understand human nature and aren’t good
judges of character and what the fans really like. They just don’t seem to care any more.

I don’t know if all the rumors of misbehavior by production are true or not. But when
there is smoke on occasion after occasion, there is most likely fire involved. This blog
was the only redeeming feature of this season, and it’s been an exceptionally special
one. Fans of different ages, different opinions, different walks of life, and ones living in different states and countries came together and began to care for each other in ways
BB probably would never understand. So despite a dismal season with problems that
have turned many away from it, this blog has been a rousing success and touched the
hearts and lives of many who participated, both those who commented frequently and those who commented only minimally. We became a united front of caring people.
So I thank you, Lisa for providing this gateway to friendship and entertainment. You
are the best. And I thank all of you bloggers who accepted me this season and gave me
such a special gift.

PLEASE don’t let it be Liz and Van . . PLEASE

@sherry…

I first met Robert Redford in Park City, Utah, during the opening season of what was then called “Treasure Mountain Ski Resort.” He and James Drury (The Virginian) were sitting on bar stools at the Prospector Hotel at the top of Main Street when another ski instructor and I noticed the two of them in their fancy cowboy duds. What really caught our attention, however, first only seeing them from the back as we entered the bar, was that neither of their boots came even close to touching the floor. Strange, since the bar stools were not that tall and nobody under 18 could even order a 3.2 beer anywhere in Utah. We sort of laughed under our breath thinking, first, real cowboys and sheep herders in Utah don’t dress like that – ever – and second, who are these two short legged rhinestone cowboys and what in the hell are they doing here.

Curiosity got the best of us so we had the Prospector Owner Jim Carr, introduce us. Within a short time thereafter, they bought a round, we bought a round and so and so on and the rest I don’t remember that clearly.

Little did I know then that he would transform “Timp Haven Ski Area” where I trained with our BYU alpine team into “Sundance Resort” several years later.

Sherry, I am really touched by your comments. If I had your talent with words, I would have expressed the same feelings! This definitely has been a different blog. We have come to know each other in a more personal way. I believe the main reason is because we were free to express ourselves and go off topic, because of the lack of interest in Big Brother. We wanted to be here with our friends, but there just wasn’t the excitement that BB used to offer. Mainly for the reasons you mentioned. We felt left out as viewers who in the past were an important part of the decision making. In the past, we had the opportunity to be involved and we were eager to see the next show to see what kind of slop they got based on our votes. And they involved us in other ways like America’s Favorite Player.
I personally have felt well accepted and made many friends that I am looking forward to keeping in touch with.
You can contact me through Facebook at Joanne Needels May or e-mail me at joleemae@aol.com.
I am beginning to feel sad knowing this blog is soon coming to an end. But, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel! We have Survivor, The Amazing Race and the knowledge we will be staying in touch with each other during the year! And …… Christmas is coming!!! 🙂 I will be checking back ….
Later!! 😎

Jeanne4488: Loved your post. I laughed out loud at the mental picture of Steve
running out of the room for fear of being hypnotized into losing. What a hoot!

sherry: My favorite Redford movie will always be Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid co-starring Paul Newman. Not just because their gang’s early exploits took place in and around Green River, Utah, a small town near the San Rafael Swell that my Mother’s family settled in the 1800’s, but because Pearl Baker, the author of “The Wild Bunch at Robber Roost” was a very dear friend of my Mom.

FYI. I sort of got to know Paul Newman back in 1979 when he and I came very close to colliding at an intersection in Westport, Connecticut. He was in a ratty VW and I was in my 79 Lincoln Continental (compliments of client FMC). It was a close encounter of the no stop signs in the intersection type. It could have been ugly, particularly for him in his little VW, but all turned out well and we collectively caught our breath, chatted a bit, and went on or way. He was very short too.

C’est Moi: You have lived an exceptionally rich life with so many wonderful ex-
periences. You really ought to write a book about your life. I’d buy a copy for sure!

JOLEE had to be the eagle eye last night – 6 teenagers over – nuf said

Sure hope steve sticks to his guns and takes liz – if he doesnt and lets vanessa snow him – he deserves to lose…..

looking for that julie/jeff interview toooooooooahhh

New post!! 🙂

Thank you Sherry for your kind words. God has truly blessed me with a love of people that I have just met. It’s a God thing. I am really going to miss you all so much. I am: bygrace6933@aol.com or on FB. Jeanne Needels Keshishian. Dough: I love Anne Murry and that song is one of my favorites. Getting ready to watch BB. Be back after the show.
