Zach himself is looking forward to the day when Dick or Dani invest in his inventions. He was there for the money, plain and simple, not for some high moral reason. Zach got down and dirty himself when it suited him. That said, I hope he finds backers for his inventions and has a wonderful life.

I'll keep watching, of course. No matter who made it to the end, it has no impact on my life. I've never emailed a T.V. show to complain because I have the option of not watching. Besides, networks care about ratings not a few disgruntled fans.

There's a show where sometimes there is a NICE winner - The Amazing Race!!! I'm convinced that if there was not AP, the Donatos would not be final 2. The TV viewing audience controlled this game. And the production editors controlled the viewing audience. That final Dick rant was SOOOOOO sanitized. And then all that dramatic music making Dick as such a hero that night? Zack in his quiet acceptance of the verbal abuse, all alone in the house for weeks, all alone on that stump for hours, and not much respect at all for that endurance win, no respect. The editing was all for the Donatos. I was intrigued by Dick as a player early in the season, but the live feeds and especially his ego, his sense of entitlement (and Daniele seems to get the same idea - that this is all about HER), not a humble bone in any of their bodies. Ick. Turned me off as a Donato fan about halfway through the summer.

Great post, Konamouse. I've not watched a BB show since back in July but I tuned in last night thinking it was the finale. I only watched part of the first half of the show because I was simply incredulous at the melodramatic portrayal of Danielle & Dick during that (almost sadistically brutal) endurance comp. The crying, the music...did CBS think that standing out there was a picnic for Zach? I switched off after that. I don't see how saying BB is "just a game" makes sportsmanship and common decency irrelevant. It's a shame that money excuses anything in some people's eyes.

Well said Konamouse. I couldn't believe BB didn't even say to Zach that he'd won. He stood there on the carrot and then got off and went to help Dick, but it was all about poor Dick rather than about Zach who outlasted him. That scene spoke volumes about BB's editing of the entire season. You can use the feedback form on the bottom of the cbs.com homepage. Yes, they do pay attention to viewer comments as well as to ratings and emails to the sponsors.

Surfgirl, not all winners of reality shows act horribly. Yul on Survivor comes to mind instantly. He was intelligent, never trash talked and treated the other players respectfully. One thing I remember that made him so great was in competitions he was careful to always stay in 2nd place--close enough to move ahead if his alliance needed him to win. He was just a joy to watch. Heaven forbid that BB would look for this type of houseguest. This new trend of Survivor to have such a diversified cast is refreshing.

Love this Final 2 and will avidly watch until the end. Complaints mean we care- and that is great for ratings. The more controversy the better.

Allitex, I started a thread the second week of this season saying that Big Brother 8 had broke my addiction. People weren't so receptive then to agree. I guess they needed more time. I knew it from the second week that this was going to happen! CBS got what they wanted.

Loved Yul in Survivor Adored Laura Bennett in Project Runway Loved Janelle and Will in BB Loved Dick/Dani in BB These are the only ones that I can think of off the top of my head that I just thought were great. Different type personalities, extremly different styles, but all provided me with different types of reality entertainment. I am sure others will come along that I like just as much. It's a game, it's television at it's best and worst, and I eat it up with a shovel!

Don't complain and BB assumes everyone loves the show. But if you complain, then that just shows you watch and that is all they care about. Must be nice to feel you do not have to care about what the viewers think. Some people just like the show, but they do not like what has happened to it. What a way to run a business! Take your customers complaint as a signal that what you are doing is right. Incrediable.

Well, looking at CBS.com love 'em or leave 'em poll I bet more people are happy with this final 2 than are unhappy about it. I know I will not be complaining because they might stop making BB and that would ruin my summers.

Twinkie, on the polls, Zach is ahead of the D's. Wouldn't that make more people unhappy that the D's are in the finals? Just saying...

Continue to do this over the first question in HOH part 3.... and wait patiently (not) for Survivor, Desperate Housewives, CSI, etc. Oh, and maybe reintroduce myself to DH and DS! "Remember me?" LOL

Carrie, I cannot wait for CSI! That has been the only show that has been on my mind all summer long. BTW...does anyone know when Amazing Race starts again? I am getting withdrawals.

I'll help wrap up this season and then SURVIVOR China!!!! and I get to meet Eeyore's and have dinner with Michael and Meggie!! and meet Spybaby!! I think Amazing Race is later on and sadly it might be the last season. I love Amazing Race, so that isn't a good thing for me.

As for Zach.. I would email through his website but fear it would be lost but I keep thinking I wonder how far he's gotten with his inventions? Does he have a prototype? If so.. I think he should seriously pursue the next season of American Inventor. If he has something good, they'd love him and he'd have a built in following from Big Brother. If he got through the early rounds he might also get some seriously good advice, help, exposure

Love, love, love Amazing Race and Survivor. Hope TAR isn't going away. Maybe they decided to cut it back because it has got to be very expensive. Imagine plane tickets, sequester, etc.. And, I'm also looking forward to Smallville season premier..
