Post by Brian SmithIt's hard to say what's going to happen tonight but I have a feeling
that MJ is going to be kicking herself for being so naive.
This finale was so frustrating to watch. So much potential to make the
season unpredictable totally wasted.
The live raven that brought them the instructions for Part 2 of the
Final HOH was very cool. The players seemed impressed.
Jury Roundtable
Production's love affair with Taylor continues. Why is beyond me. She
was a weird choice to host the JUry Roundtable given she's never been on
the jury. Nicole wold have been a great choice as she has the more game
experience than anyone. If they wanted a New Era player they could have
asked Claire who is smart, a fan favorite, and actually watched the
feeds. Or is she still on Julie's shitlist?
Final HOH Part 3: "Data Destruction"
-Ainsley left corrupt data in the BB system
-Series of videos of the jurors talking about their games
-3 statements, one of which was false (A, B, or C)
-7 videos in total--one for each juror shown in the order they were evicted
1. Both right
2. Both right
3. Both right
4. Both right
5. Both right
6. Both right
7. MJ right
MJ wins Final HOH. Chelsie changed her last answer at the last second.
Some people are saying she threw the comp so she wouldn't have to
choose. I'm not buying it. Way too risky of a move.
F3 Eviction Vote
This was MJ's golden opportunity to evict Chelsie and easily win $750K.
She could have totally redeemed herself by making this no-brainer move.
But she didn't. She stayed loyal to Chelsie thinking she had a good
chance of winning.
Julie's Interview with Cam
He was very cool with finishing third saying the girls deserved to be at
the end. He also confirmed he would have taken Chelsie to the end if he
had won Final HOH.
Jury Interrogation
There was three questions for each finalist and Cam got to ask the
finalist of his choosing a question. This segment made it very clear who
was going to win the game.
Chelsie and MJ then had 90 seconds left to plead their cases to the
jury. Chelsie was very strong in presenting her case even though she
didn't own some of her lies.
The jury then cast their votes but Julie did not reveal them at that time.
Prejury Segment
This was so cringey! What in the hell do people see in Tucker?! Even
Rubina seemed embarrassed. And was Julie/production trying to make MJ
uncomfortable with the Matt stuff? I thought she handled it well.
Vote for Winner
Julie revealed the votes in the order they voted.
Quinn: Chelsie
T'Kor: Chelsie
Leah: Chelsie
Angela: Chelsie
Kimo: Chelsie
Rubina: Chelsie
Cam: Chelsie
Chelsie wins BB26 and $750K by a vote of 7–0. MJ won $75K and probably a
lot of future regret.
AFP
Julie said the top three vote getters in no particular order were:
Angela, Tucker, and Quinn. Tucker won and received $50K. Julie said he
is the first nonfinalist and nonjuror to win AFP.
As the show was about to end, Julie said "I hear noise inside the
house." We then saw Jankie come back to life. Ainsley dying revived
Jankie. Julie the said "Let's sing a song" and they all sang the Jankie
song to end the season.
