I'm late to the party ... but have plenty of comments! (I'm surprised there aren't more here. Oh well, "Big Brother" just ain't what it used to be, I'm afraid.)
I really didn't want Adam to win, but I guess I can't act as a big champion of Ryan, either; they BOTH did some pretty slimy things in the house. But Adam just gives me the creeps! I know that's a pretty superficial thing, based only on his looks, mannerisms and way of talking; he just makes me think of a slimy salesman type, and I know I wouldn't be able to stand listening to him in person for very long. But I suppose he also did some nice things in the house, and he & Ryan did after all last longer than the others, so I guess it makes some sense.
I was sorry they didn't show those clips of Matt dissing Natalie, which was pretty shocking and may have been an eye-opener for her. But I'm guessing when she said "oh yeah, I've been told about it" a couple of times they decided not to rub it in, which was only right.
I was pretty shocked that Matt, of all people, was the one person who didn't vote for his original buddy, Ryan! Strange. That "Guys Club" thing is unpredictable, I guess.
Speaking of guys clubs on this show, I wanted to say that one of the reasons I didn't want either Ryan or Adam to win was their distasteful smackdown about the remaining women a week/10 days ago. Why does every year have to include two or more of the guys ranting about how they've "gotta get these bitches OUTTA here!"?? It's almost like the show is telling them to do it! It didn't seem to fit Adam's character (but then I did start wondering about that guy early on when he called the kids he worked with "retards").
I was with you, Tess, in thinking Sharon might get that juror's reward, since she made it so far in the competition while remaining a respectful and honorable person (why I wanted her to win the whole thing). But when I realized it was more a money thing than an honor, I thought Sheila ought to get it (both because she, too, made it so far, plus apparently needed money). I thought it was kind of mean to announce that Sheila was the "runner up" - and the crowd's "aw" reaction seemed to say I wasn't alone. On the other hand ... all her crying dramatics in the last couple of shows were a bit much, especially when she wasn't actually shedding any tears! I'm thinking it was at least 90% an act, as she said her interactions with Adam were from the start. Slimy!! Just what I don't like about this show these days; I miss the gold old days when at least most of the houseguests were genuine from the get-go, whether they were creepy or not.
Well, everyone was paid $10,000 a week for staying in the house, from what I heard a while back, and that ain't chump change. Nice work if you can get it!
I'm glad Adam won. I preferred him to Ryan. A 6-1 vote, huh, with Josh the only one to favor Ryan. That's a bigger margin than I expected.
Anyone know what's going on with Adam's job? Is he still fired? Not that he really needs the money right now, of course.
I felt sorry for Sheila when she lost the jury prize--she must be very disappointed to get almost to the end and walk away with nothing. Wait, do the contestants get ANY compensation for their time in the house? If they do, I don't think it's all that much money (unless they're 1st or 2nd).
