The final five included two former couples (Jee and Jun, Robert and Erika) while Alison also has an X-connection in Justin. Do you think having an ex in the house was an advantage? It's too complicated for me to figure it out, but I was wondering if any of you had thought about this.

Well, it's coming handy now that Robert wants Erika with him in the finals. And you know what, the more I think about it the more I like it...

I just want to get rid of Ali and Jun so bad...

Robert and Erika are the last couple standing and BB producers should be happy to see them as the last two... Erika has to win, however!!!

The X Factor was a bust. I think this year would've been a whole lot more interesting if the hamsters were all strangers

No..

And I didn't like the X-factor at all. It brought in to much animosity with ex couple's. I rather it be a clean slate with people who don't have a history together.

The X is definitely a factor. Scott and Amanda made Amanda an outcast early.

Jun had a choice--she could push to have her X jee out or she could push to keep him in. If Jee were the HOH today instead of Robert, Erika would be on the block.

The original alliance was based SOLELY on the Xs in the game and it led Erika down the path she took and forced Robert down a different path.

The only reason Erika is not nominated (yet) is because Robert is her X.

For better or worse, the X factor affected the game.

I didn't hate the X Factor as much as most did. It brought an interesting dynamic. I do, however, think that they should have done ALL exes if they were going to do it. It just seemed like an uneven playing field to have 3 people who were unaffected by the twist.

That being said, I hope that next year they go back to the original concept of "12 Complete Strangers."
