Dani and Dick will decide today who will win between the two of them in the comp. today. I expect it will be Dani because she is better than Dick at questions. Maybe just maybe Zack threw the last POV so that he wouldn't have had to take Jameka to final two. He is good at math, all he would have had to do was figure out how many seconds they had been there put the numbers at the bottom and then used the wheel to place the houseguests in order.

Asil that has been argued and some agree, but the game play I respect and I think should WIN any game is those that play with their heart to win from day one. Not someone who stays on the sidelines, and comes in fresh in the last 2 min. That wasn't the team that got to the finish line IMHO.

OK Compare that to a basketball team. (I'm a huge basketball fan!) You have the "starters". And then you have the bench. The starters get all the attention and glory all along while the bench players are working just as hard at practice and giving it their all while getting no credit or acknowledgement. Instead of giving up they keep plugging away and then in the playoff tournament some starters get taken out by injury or too many fouls and the bench players, because they have worked so hard behind the scenes all along, are ready to take their place on the court and bring it home. Aren't they as much a part of the team as the rest? They just played a different role but just as important. Not everyone can be front and center. Some have to take a back seat for a while. Zach tried to play earlier but they broke apart his alliance and all were booted except for him and then everyone kept away from him. Zach played the only game he could. Last night he showed what kind of man he was as he ignored Dick's taunting and baiting and just did what he needed to do and then he did not GLOAT and race around saying obnoxious things while beating his chest and running his mouth. Zach truly earned his spot IMO.

Thanks Sky! I sincerely would love some truly decent folks in BB again.

And truthfully, I think there comes a point to just agree to disagree. We all have players we prefer at this point. I personally am going to try to avoid fighting this point anymore as I really don't think is serves much of a purpose. No one is going to change my mind, and I doubt I will change anyone else's. SO moving on....

Zach has been looking for an alliance since day one. He was in an alliance of one.. alone! That wasn't his choice... people just didn't want to work with him.

Later in the season, when all the alliances were breaking down and new deals being made, Zach became the "Go To" guy... suddenly people wanted to include him, and use him for his votes...

I don't see Zach as a floater or flying under the radar, because people wanted him out since day one.. but they would always find someone bigger they wanted out.

I give Zach credit.. NO he didn't play a hell of a game till the end.. but he DID make it to the end and then played a hell of a game.

It wasn't his choice to be a floater...

I am rooting for D & D but I have to give Zach credit... he deserves it.. cuz truly he made it here on his own for the most part...

the biggest competitor should win the game.....

if the game were based soley on who was most physically proactive - who had the most conversations.. who won the most competitions.. etc.. then it'd just be a tally at the end...

it's not.. it's a subjective ending.. who's game did you agree with or respect or hate/but think it was better than the other person's game etc..

Ok maybe just ONE more post hehehe. Sky, but when they give the game MVP out, should it be the player who racked up all the points on the board and is the reason they are in position to win, OR should it be the person who came in when there was such a lead their play didn't matter? I don't agree it's equal...it's why the pay scale in pro sports is so UNequal btw.

But again JMHO of what should win and what shouldn't. I've just seen WAY too many floaters do nothing and win BB. I would rather Eric have won than Zach. I wanted someone who PLAYED all summer, both strategically and in contests. JMHO now, I'm gonna try to be done with this lol

just maybe Zack threw the last POV so that he wouldn't have had to take Jameka to final two.

and it's passive strategies like this (whether this example is true or not) that should be considered.. even d/d discussed at one point if they should throw something to ensure they could play HOH for a more "key" week.. dani said no but it was discussed...

zach not only played under the radar... he played alone... he could have been in an isolation booth for the way the "cool kids" treated him. so he is not the typical under the radar player. he kept his sanity for quite a few weeks while being shunned. and he didnt cry and whine about it not being fair either. he made the best with what he had to work with.

and that's why boogie won last year... even though the houseguests didn't necessarily agree with some of his more dispicable behavior..

the jury is different this year.. we'll see how the majority feels..

Zach didn't start out 'under the radar' don't forget the Mrs Robinson alliance, he had an alliance that crumbled and disappeared in front of him. Perhaps once burned, twice shy?

Yeah, I didn't like Boogie at all, but I totally thought he deserved the win. If Dick makes it to F2 I am positive that no one on that jury would give him the win (except Dani).

well zach did make a really weird/dumb comment about it being unfair that d/d dominated the game.. laughs.. i was like huh? and had to admit i was with dani on her huh?

but he did play alone for the most part.. and he survived the downfall of his primary two alliances.. the mra and the one with nick..

and quite frankly d/d didn't take the strongest players with them to the end because they wanted to be up against someone who's game they didn't respect... to make it an easier win for them..

it'll be interesting to see if that works for them..

If it's a Dani/Zach final 2, I'm not sure of who would get the votes. Seems so many people despise Zach, for no real reason.

If the jury does not vote for Dick or Dani, I see that as voting against their strategy of intimidation rather than being personal. It remains to be seen what they will do and what reasons they give.

I would have a really hard time rewarding Dick's behavior. Although I realize that was "his" strategy it would be one that I would feel personally offended by. Time in the house with Dick was like being verbally assaulted in your own home on an on-going basis. Sorry, been there, done that! I could reward Dani's game play to a certain extent...she did compete fiercely in the competitions...but her encouragement of her father's actions in the last few days have really turned me off.

If it was between Zack and either of those two I would vote for Zack. If it was between Dick and Dani I would vote for Dani.

Sky... I do like your basketball analogy. However I don't think it aplies to Big Brother. Basketball may need and rely on those back up players as the 1st string goes out on injury...but that is a team sport. Big Brother is not a team sport. It is not as if player A was voted out and player B then comes in at the 11th hour to make the final goal... this is a game where all players p[lay from the beginning...

Steviegirl ... I would say the same about Dani. She has been predominantly disliked by other HGs simply because Dick is her father, IMO.

I saw Zack try to talk game and no one would talk to him, not until they needed his vote. Why is being a floater such a bad thing? In most games you have your offense and defense. If the "players" didn't want floaters, they would have taken them out.
