Big Brother 13 CBS

^ What a train wreck. A pretty train wreck, but still.

 

[roadtripboy]

IF and that's a big if. If Shane had made to the end with say Ian. I still think he would have lost.

 

[altlover85]

Wow. Shane really IS an entitled ass. From the after-party, he's still bitter about Dan.

Shane: "I could care less if I never see him or talk to him again. He just took $500,000 away from me that I was going to use to take my family out of bankruptcy and he did that all out of a lie."

I can understand him still being bitter about Dan, but as has been mentioned before he had numerous opportunities to really play the game, up to and including that veto where he was put on the block and evictied. He should have a lot harder to make sure Danielle didn't use that veto.

I wonder if the Republican, Catholic misogynist will keep his job at the Catholic high school. He shouldn't, but I bet he will. He's a winning football coach after all. I hope someone keeps us abreast on this.

And another thing, I wish, when Dan said, "You're the first Lesbian I've ever met," Jenn had replied, "No. I'm not."

I'm puzzled that no one mentioned Dan's betrayal of his alliance to Frank. Did that ever come out?

As we saw on The Talk, Ian, coming into the game, had a written strategy that was confiscated from his backpack, which he followed quite effectively. I noticed early on that he kept flying just under the radar and still sticking around. He lied cheated and stole with the best of them, but did not hurt anyone doing it. Shouldn't he now be called "the greatest player ever"?

Btw, some of you who found Ian annoying may have missed his chat with Dan about his having OCD. I also suspect he was high level Asperger's (in part by his total lack of social graces and sense of appropriateness). If so, a major kudos is due, not out of pity but in admiration of someone making the best of what s/he has.

 

[bobobo]

And some other things: Did anybody else think Dan's _ for his books in Shane's eviction speech cheesy and self-serving, not too say narcissistic?

In Scripture, Jesus says to people, "Come, follow me." And they do. Though clearly an abbreviated version of whatever happened, it's reminiscent of Dan's misting, and Charles Manson, and Adolph Hitler. It's a charism I lack altogether.

Dan does not deserve too lose his job the way he plays Big Brother does not represent how he acts around his family or his students, and just because Ian had a plan does not change the fact that he got played by Dan until the jury questioning.

I thought it was a really good season, even if I was on Team Dan since the reset, it was the best season since 10 IMO, the jury was probably the most bitter I've seen in BB history though. Ian was a deserving winner, even if not the most deserving player this season, he is being a bit of a jerk in his post game interviews though calling Dan slimy and a scumbag, he must of forgotten that it was Dan who brought him to final 3, and brought him into the quack pack. My only issue with Dan losing is Brit backyard interview where she reveals no one but her had any intention voting for Dan even though she believed he played the best game, she presumably promised her word to Ian, and Jenn saying she thought Dan played the best game but wanted a new winner, so that two votes that though Dan should win but they voted otherwise, I hope next season is not all stars and they wait 2-3 more seasons so Dan, Frank, Ian, and maybe Shane can return, I hate when people do back to back seasons.

 

[bobobo]

Since Dan teaches in a religious school, knowingly swearing falsely on the Bible seems like a dismissable offense. Does he want his players to kick the other teams in the nuts or smash their heads repeatedly on the ground, if they can get away with it, "leaving their morals" at the door, as it were, for a game.

The fact that this was "the most bitter jury" to me shows to those still being misted by Dan that this was a qualitative offense on his part. I will agree that it's their fault for falling for it, but his actions to the blinded Dani were nothing short of demeaning and vicious (note, the word comes from "vice").

Um...so it's Dan's function to just roll over and let you win the money? And if he hadn't evicted you, it's a guarantee you would've won? Get over yourself Shane! Jesus, I thought you were better than this.

MAybe he shouldn't have been so afraid to cast a vote against Ian himself. The minute Dani suggested maybe putting him on the block he should've shot her down in flames... in other news if his family wanted to not be in bankruptcy maybe they should've been like every other family in America and tried to dig themselves out of debt through hard work. Maybe if Shane stopped being a "house flipper" and started working at McDonalds he'd have some steady income to contribute.

I saw that discussion between Ian and Dan. Dan said he wanted to know because his brother-in-law has OCD and doesn't handle it as well as Ian.

BTW, very good post by you. Thanks.

Ian is deservintg to win.

he may have gotten a pity vote but at least he had a strategy and he was on his own and i still think ian and dan and britney and joe where the most perceptive players in the house.

jen
frank
shane
danielle
jenn jen jen
were idiots

I'm not going to comment about his family's financial problems because I don't know the details and because some people really do fall on hard times. But your first point about him playing the game and keeping himself off the block (which should've been a cakewalk with his girlfriend holding all the power that week) is exactly the fucking point. You lost because you had no game Shane. Get over it.

Exactly PEOPLE really do fall on hard times. People, plural. Everyday there are tons of people who could use money but you can expect everyone else to just hand it to you. What makes Shane's family so special? With the economic issues so hard for so many people you can't feel entitled to be saved. Period. If your solution to saving yourself from financial problems is to audition for a network reality show that you have a bout a 1 in 100 million of even making and then a 1 in 15 chance of actually winning than you're stupid, or more likely, you probably don't need the money THAT badly. You took three months off of work to be on national TV... clearly your situation wasn't so dire. Being upset that people you are competing against don't want to hand you a win so you can fix your financial problems is like buying a lotto ticket and then screaming at the power ball machine for not choosing your numbers.

Hell Shane could've found a sugar daddy and it would've made more sense than going on a reality competition show to solve your financial problems.

He can't even do that right:

Well, CBS paid a little over $700 a week to be on the show. Not a lot of money, but if your unemployed with no immediate prospects I can see where that might look attractive. And he didn't seek out the show. According to what I read the producers found him on facebook and approached him.

Then if is he wasn't planning on doing it clearly he was planning on leading his life and dealing with his finances without this money six months ago he can to do that. I'm sorry it's just silly for anyone to think they DESERVE money from any gameshow anywhere. It just is. Plus it's rude and inconsiderate, like everyone else couldn't use that money?

 

[joesman]

^^^ Actually there's not a single person who was on the show that didn't say at one time or another that they needed the money. It happens on every opne of these shows except the millionaires that play Survivor.

Many people at some point during the game talk about what they want to do with the money. But only Shane this season (or Ivette on Season 5) turned it into, "My family is financial trouble so naturally instead of getting a job I decided to play this game of odds and chance, which I totally suck at, but all the other players should bow out anyway since I need the money the most."

Exactly. Imagine going on Jeopardy and telling the other two contestants before the show starts, "OK you guys, you gotta let me have this because a collection agency is after me."
