Big Brother Finale- A Pair of Grenades

Spoiler alert...Below are some thoughts on the Big Brother season finale. So watch the two hour ep, don't get in between me and my man, then read what I had to say.

Enzo- "My decision's probably gonna be between who needs a haircut and who needs a shave."

Every summer a new Big Brother season starts and after first impressions, I think that I'm not going to like any of the contestants. This year was not any different. After finishing the two hour finale last night, I can say that Britney and Enzo were among my favorite reality contestants of all time. The final two house guests, Hayden and Lane, also grew on me as much as many past performers.

I thought this season was superior to last summer's version, if only because there weren't nearly as many people I wanted to slap up and down Broadway. Sure there was the annoyance of Rachel, Brendon, Matty and Ragan, but compared to Natalie, Chima, Lydia, Ronnie and Jessie from last season, it was a dream. Yeah Jeff and Jordan were great, but they had nothing on the Braaaa-gade.

So on to last night's events. The jury had their big discussion about the final three contestants and it was weird. This was the first time I've ever seen that none of final three were hated by anybody in the jury. It really is a testament to how good the Brigade was at working the house while staying friendly with everyone.

Everyone kept saying that Enzo played the best social game of all time (including the Meow Meow himself), but I didn't see it. I was watching the same show as Annie from home, but every decision I saw made in the house, was at least a joint effort by Hayden and Enzo. The only big move they ever even had to make was getting rid of Matty and all three of the Brigaders were in on that. Enzo was not some miracle mastermind. He did come up with nicknames, but he really didn't do much else in terms of planning.

The winner was obvious once it got to the final three. All three of these guys were together in social and strategical play, so Hayden stood out from the crowd in that he won many a competition. What else were people going to go by? Who they liked better?

Actually yeah. Some of them did. Britney voted for her man, while it seemed Brenchel still had some bad feelings toward Hayden from the Kristen episode, and voted for Lane as well. It was nice to see such a close vote, and to have it all come down to the third Brigader in the end. Congratulations Hayden. I don't know if you were such a great player, but you definitely deserved to win it this season.
