Big Brother 7 or why NOT to go on "reality shows"
There is a thread here from last night.

Well the 40+ something guy who is still trying to be 14 won and they TRASHED the woman he supposedly had a "Showmance" (get it? romance on a show) with. I mean they showed nothing but Mike talking about how he was using her and going to dump her as hard as he could but they didn't show the part where he was far more into it than she was. They also didn't show how both of them had done this before-he actually proposed 4 years ago OR how this was fairly recent in the show (the last 6 weeks or so) and was clearly her way of getting on in the show.


The last former houseguest (not in the jury) to speak was the first person voted out and she just tore into Erika ending it with "I hope you can buy some dignity" cut to a montage of clips showing Erika to not only being slutty ( I guess) but the childish idiot trying to act like a PLAYAH!. They clearly wanted this to be the last image of the show.
BTW- teasing and flirting was the accusers only apparent strategy in the season she played, she was clearly embarrassed to have been the first to get kicked off the "All Star" show.
Erika not only looked embarassed as she left the house (into the studio live show) but at the end she didn't even want to show her face on screen, it appeared to me. Oh and the "winner" pretty much shut the door on her face as they left the house for the last time.


It was pretty bad.

1. I don't think Mike is really over
40, is he?

I don't like Erica, I think she screwed Janelle over, and I don't care that its just a game, she used "girl power" to her advantage and she didn't need to go THAT far. That being said, I think Mike Goobie is a weasel, but he deserved the win over Erica, her little speeches at the end were just pathetic.

The ideal final 2 would have been Janelle and Will, hands down.

2. Well he looks it
I don't know how old he is. I would assume that he is over 40.

Actually Mike did have a really good speech there at the end.

I don't think either one of them were near the best. Will was clearly the best and Janelle is really great at winning competitions (though her strategy is not so good). That being said Danielle was my fave and I was rooting for James I know I know he says the B word and says mean things...oh well he stands up for it and none of it seems to be actually malicious but then I pretty much completely understand someone like James I grew up around many of them.

That all being said-Janelle was the one who got really manipulated and Erika didn't lose on purpose by any means. Will implied that and everyone accepted it as the truth.

Kaysar completely out thought himself-they should have dumped Will as soon as Allyson was out the door. That was STUPID and I said so at the time.

6. I remember saying that she should have..

gotten rid of Will and Boogie early. I guess I can't really say how correct my prediction was. She ended up winning a lot of competitions, and Chilltown actually was sticking by her longer than I thought. Hard to tell who would have been better to be with at the end.

I wasn't rooting for Janelle last year, but after Danielle, Kaysar, Nakomis, and Jase were all evicted, Janelle was my clear favorite.

I guess I wanted Erika to win over Mike only because she has less money. But I really didn't care much - they are both annoying.

8. I think Janelle would have gotten it
The whole Will won before thing. THAT finale would have been interesting.

3. He's a jerk.
He didn't even hug or congratulate her in the end.

And flirting with people does not make a woman a slut. Just an FYI because I found your characterization to be crude.

11. I thought I had missed something....
when Mike was jumping all around after they announced he had won. At the very least, he could have shook Erica's hand...what a jerk...I agree!

:hi:

10. Bea Arthur was a Marine in WWII?
Cool.

And she brings so much more class and pretty than Mike Booger.
