That may be part of it, but I get the impression Julie doesn't follow anything about BB. She's probably just handed a script and told to read it. She probably knows little more of what's going on than the player's name. I think that CBS just wanted to tar one player as a racist, and let the rest go. It makes for a better story if there's just one racist houseguest they can embarrass, rather than a house full of them.

The only thing about her son that is relevant is that it demonstrates what a poor mother she is. I find it sad that her son will likely learn to be a narcistic attention-ho' like the rest of the family.

I don't think there's any direct scripting in BB. But it's obvious the producers have favorites, and design comps and special powers that benefit those players. It's not a fair game, but I think everyone knows that going in.

Yeah, he doesn't deserve to win $500k, but he deserves it more than any of the others that are left.

I actually kind of liked Rachael, or at least tolerated her much better. Sure, I knew the producers pretty-much set the game up for her to win, but I didn't mind that much considering the other options. She was at least interesting to watch, even though I'd never want to be near her in RL. Elissa... yawn. Boring, with all of Rachael's faults (and many more!) and none of Rachael's positives. If BB brought her on the show hoping she'd be another Rachael, they failed miserably.

If it was just 1 or 2 people that hated Elissa so much, I might be inclined to think they're just haters. But when almost everyone in the house hates her guts, I have to believe that Elissa is the problem. She has a gift to make people hate her, probably for good reasons we are not completely aware of.

At this point, he deserves to win just as much as any of the others.

It's very unfortunate for a child when their mother abandons them for 3 months, and makes them a target of ridicule, all for the purpose of ho'ing for fame and attention. I can understand someone doing it for money in order to better their family, but in Ellissa's case it's only about herself. As a mother, she should be ashamed.

Bah! Good riddance to her. She is a stupid, talentless, stuck-up b*tch that happened to marry rich. If she didn't get lucky as a gold-digger, she'd be nowhere in life, and too dumb to do anything about it. When she gets older and plastic surgery stops doing anything for her, her husband would be wise to throw her in the trash and trade-up. Don't any of you wonder why everyone in the house hated her? She isn't a likeable person in RL! Do you want to know how I really feel about her?

I don't know why you're assuming Andy will be in the final 2. He'll only get there if he wins the final HoH. Nobody else will take him, unless they're really stupid. Oh, wait....

And... I'm not shocked.

There's something about him that's a little "off". A bit of a Jekyl/Hyde thing, I think. I can't put my finger on it, but I wouldn't trust him in the real world. Strangely, I'd trust him in the game a lot more than real-life.

Opposite for me. I didn't like her at first, but she grew on me. Yeah, she could be a bully, but she was also one of the more entertaining players. After she left, the house got a whole lot more boring. From here on, it's a snooze-fest, with nobody deserving of the win.

I'll be shocked if McCrae doesn't win POV. The producers have to be giving him every advantage to win it.

Partly, but only because the rules of BB encourages only losers in the finale. The first half of the game people get out the biggest threats. By the second half of the game, there aren't enough good players left, so the losers control the votes. Eventually, the losers get out all the good players, and there's nobody left but unworthy players. That's the way the game is set up. It's very hard for a good player to win, because they have to be really, really good to survive to the end (along with help from the producers, of course).

It's because Amanda and McCrae are a couple. CBS will want to put both of them on Amazing Race, or some show like that. Aaryn was a solo player, and is disposable by CBS to make themselves look good.

I'd do it for $500k, but I wouldn't do it for just a chance of winning $500k.

They did it with Rachael, so I guess they expected the same with her sister.

Me neither. It was clear that CBS wanted to just mark one of them (Aaryn) as a racist, and let everyone else off easy. Either that, or Julie didn't have the guts.

In order of most deserving to win: 1) None 2) None 3) None 4) None 5) None

There certainly wasn't any danger of a brain injury.

Good suggestion. I'd also add that Julie should ask her hubby to fire her as well, and put in an interesting host instead.

Everything else about her is fake, so why not rings too?

And with that comment, the women's movement has just taken a step back to 1950.

Candice is a loud, foul-mouthed, b*tch. Her and GM are exactly the same. I'm not sure if Candice ever made racist remarks (I thought she was using the word "cracker", but maybe I'm wrong), but she was definitely not a nice person. She was verbally attacked, but also did just as much in return. I don't feel sorry for her at all.
