And even though he won, Steve's performance in the first comp was pathetic. What a joke.
quote:I actually debated this with my wife. There is a bit of 20/20 Hindsight, but you could make a game theory case that Vanessa would have a better chance beating Steve in a straight up mental comp than the final HoH comp, which I hate because its basically a guessing game.quote:
Liz letting Vanessa get in her head in the first comp was beyond stupid. So amazing her and her idiot sister made it as far as they did. It's honestly a testament to Austin (and Vanessa).
What is funny is that if Vanessa had just played out that first one and lost, she likely would have beaten Steve in the crossword puzzle after seeing how long it took him. It would have been Liz vs Vanessa in the finals and it wouldn't have mattered since Liz is an idiot and would have taken Vanessa. She probably would have beaten Steve in the final vote if the roles had been reversed and she had taken Steve instead of the other way around.
quote:
She probably will make a All Stars appearance within a season or two. She's the smartest game player on this season, no doubt- but that's like saying she's the best offensive player on Texas.
quote:Not debating her intelligence, just her crying and manipulation. She owned the house all season long and honestly, even though I can't stand her, should have won.
Holy ****, check out Vanessa's background:
She graduated early from Duke University after two and a half years with a major in economics and a minor in political science in December 2003.[13][16] Her collegiate duration of two and a half years was the shortest time to graduate in the history of Duke.[13] Rousso began law school in 2004 and was the inaugural recipient of the Chaplin Scholarship from the University of Miami.[17] During Law School at the University of Miami School of Law, she served on the editorial board of the University of Miami Law Review.

quote:completely random? no.
It's not completely random as how well you know the house guest should come into play in your answer. I do think there are less random ways to test that knowledge than this scenario though.
quote:This is a pretty good idea.
I would like a final 3 HOH competition to not be done in the stages they do it, where part 1 immediately goes to part 3, etc.
I'd try to design multiple comps that test physical/mental/social that all 3 play in, where there's some sort of earned or combined score that gives an overall winner. And maybe even if one person wins the first 2 parts, the 3rd part has a value that could be great enough for someone else to tie them if they were to win. Something like that.
quote:Part of the problem is I'm pretty sure they ask the jury members an open ended question, and then some producer or intern comes up with the alternate option. They didn't ask Shelli if her favorite moment was winning HOH or meeting Clay, they asked her her favorite moment. I don't think she was trying to throw people off, she was probably thinking of the question in a game sense.
They need to change something. You know Shelli's answer was BS and was her just trying to throw people off. Like Clay really wasn't the funnest part of your time BB? Really Shelli.
quote:Yeah, I was looking for her quote so I could post same thing.

quote:I thought this was obvious. The two choices they give for answers are direct quotes from the jurors... one is real, the other is made up... this isn't hard to understand and Steve didn't figure this out by some magical power.
But it does sound like the questions are open ended where production comes up with a seemingly legitimate alternate answer.
quote:
CBS chairman and CEO Les Moonves recently said that "usually you have one or two disappointments" in the show's casting, but this year there were "five or six." Do you agree?
He's absolutely, unequivocally, 100 percent wrong. You can't predict who you're going to fall in love with. It takes awhile for these things to work out and to mature and to evolve. If you really break it down, what happened is big personalities got eliminated very, very quickly. We watch the show for entertainment, and when some of the better "entertainers" are eliminated quickly, then maybe that middle group doesn't seem comparatively as interesting. So the dilemma we have is, the jury is not the most dynamic, outgoing group of individuals. But this isn't Jersey Shore. You can't have people flipping tables and slapping each other, or you just don't have a show I stand by the casting decisions. It's a very difficult job to find 16 different people who are available, who are interesting, who are STD-free and who have big personalities to appear on the show.
