Before we get started in this, the final update, a reminder
of who has whom
Second, 5 bonus points to Marissa for knowing “Soy un
perdedor” means “I’m a Loser”. She did not, however, know it was the Spanish
sung in the song “Loser” by Beck!
Third, Friday’s episode was a recap episode – those are not
scored.
On to the Finale!
We kick off with the final three in the opening vignette (2
points for “Speak in opening vignette” [Makensy] to Dalphyne! ), (4 points for “Speak
in opening vignette” [Cam], [Chelsie] to Carol!). A fun note: That’s only the
2nd time we’ve heard from Cam in the opening vignette – both in the
last week! Makensy and Chelsie were similarly ignored in the opening vignettes –
it’s their 3rd time each!
Season 16 winner Derrick introduces the HOH Part 1
competition and they have hold on tight! After just 21 minutes (easy for me to
say), Makensy drops (1 point for “Mention ‘I need to win HOH Part 2’”
[Makensy] to Dalphyne!), leaving Chelsie and The Warrior to battle it out (1
point for “Mention ‘in this game’ [The Warrior] to Carol!), (1 point for “Mention
‘I need to win this competition” [The Warrior] to Carol!).
In true Warrior fashion, he drops meaning Chelsie is going
to HOH Part 3! (7 points for “Win HOH Part 1” [Chelsie] to Carol!).
HOH Part 2 brings us to Ainsley’s core, and Derrick tells us
this is how we finally defeat her (5 points each for “Mention a previous
season’s player [Derrick]”, [Makensy], [Chelsie] to Dalphyne and Carol!). They
have to unhook buttons from a puzzle and then connect differing length wires to
sink Ainsley’s core, thereby saving the world.
Side note: This is easily the longest any theme or twist has
gone in BB history. I think that’s cool.
Makensy gets out to a quick lead and finishes part 2 before
The Warrior finishes Part 1. In short
order, Makensy wins HOH Part 2! (9
points for “Win HOH Part 2” [Makensy] to Dalphyne!). Ainsley is dead, Makensy and Chelsie can face
off for the final HOH in peace!
We see both winners worrying over their “If I win” decision
on who to take. This is an easy one – if you want to win, you take Cam. He’s done nothing and he’s a lousy speaker. So of course, they won’t do that. Sigh.
The final HOH competition is the standard – answer unbelievably
tricky and specific questions about each juror’s game. Winner is whoever has the most points after 6
questions. Both look like they’re
somewhat guessing, somewhat knowing but they’re tied
1-1
2-2
3-3
4-4!
5-5!
Chelsie finally gets one wrong! Makensy gets the final one
right! Makensy wins 6-5! (11 points
for “Win HOH Part 3” [Makensy] to Dalphyne!).
At the final eviction, Chelsie’s speech is good enough that
I wouldn’t want to speak against her (and I’m pretty good at that kind of stuff). Makensy says she is born ready to make this
decision. She chooses to….evict Cam out
of loyalty to Cheslie. (1 point for “Received vote against” [Cam] to Carol!),
(-2 points for “Evicted” against Carol!), (2 points for “Jury member” to
Carol!), (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” [Chelsie] to Carol!)
That’s the only vote Cam had against him all game. Chelsie had zero.
Makensy is still a beautiful
idiot.
The juror questions are solid, with Angela’s “…filled with
lies and deceit” being the spiciest by far.
Makensy thinks her best move was getting Leah out, and Chelsie takes credit
for it just a minute later. That shows why taking Chelsie was idiotic – she was
so inside Makensy’s head that Makensy made the move Chelsie wanted and is
convinced she did it on her own…and it was her BEST move.
Chelsie is clearly an accomplished public speaker. Her answers are forceful, polished, and
clear. She lays out point after point
after point and has a tremendous amount of positive energy. Makensy does well but there’s no stopping
this train.
At the end, Chelsie wins in a clean sweep! Makensy gets 2nd place, The
Warrior 3rd. (15 points
for “Winner” [Chelsie] to Carol!), (8 points for “2nd place”
[Makensy] to Dalphyne!), and (5 points for “3rd place” [The
Warrior] to Carol!).
AND TUCKER WINS AMERICA’S FAVORITE PLAYER – the first non-winner,
non-juror ever to win it! (12 points for “America’s Favorite Player”
[Tucker] to me!)
Being America’s Favorite Player also put Tucker over the top
in our game as MVP. (5 points for “MVP” [Tucker] to me!). He was so dominant he beat out Makensy by 8
points and Angela by 9 without making it to jury.
LVP (Least Valuable Player) goes to Lisa who earned just 32
points in her brief stay. (5 points for “LVP” [Lisa] to Jay!)
For the last time this season…
What does that mean for our scores?
Finishing in 8th place with 103 points and a team of Matt and Leah: Ricky!
Finishing in 7th place with 105 points and a team of Cedric and
Joseph: Roberta!
Finishing in 6th place with 143 points and a team of Lisa and
Kimo: Jay!
Finishing in 5th place with 160 points and a team of Quinn and
Brooklyn: Jen!
Finishing in 4th place with 174 points and a team of Kenny and
Makensy: Dalphyne!
Finishing in 3rd place with 241 points and a team of Chelsie and
Cam: Carol!
Finishing in 2nd place with 257 points and a team of T’Kor and Rubina: Marissa!
And finishing first, your winner (and the winner of the $30 pot) with 287 points and a team of Tucker and Angela:
ME!
Thank you, Tucker and Angela for being complete narcissistic focuses of attention! Thank you all for loyal reading and watching.
It’s been a great season all! See you next year!
