I can’t remember the last time a winner was so up in the air at F3 regardless of who the finalists may be. Will Paul be rewarded for playing the most proactive from beginning to end? Will girl power prevail? Will James win Mr. Congeniality? I would not be horribly upset with any outcome. I’m looking forward to the Finale.
F3...DON’T SPEND THE $$ JUST YET
“YOUR BOY”
PAUL – Deserves to be “your” BB18 Champion. Deserving the title is one thing...winning it is quite another. He won the F4 HOH AND POV comps. If he follows it up by winning the 3-part final competition as well he will earn his spot in the Finals and put the cherry on top to a dominant season. He had aggressive and abrasive moments in the House, but he exercised the necessary self-control most recently to allow the target on Victor to grow when they were both on the block.
THE GIRL
NICOLE – Although I still believe Paul deserves the win more, I think Nicole will get the victory. Last season BB16 Champ appropriately singled out James when weighing-in on the game and a majority of the viewers agreed naming him America’s Player. This season he gave props to Nicole...will the Jury agree as the viewers did last year? The female jurors (not counting the sore-losing crybaby) and now Corey could give her all the votes she needs.
She gets MAJOR props for how she handled the Mess’s despicable comment before the sore-loser’s sorry a$$ walked out the door. Big Mess said to Nicole if she gets to the Finals it’s because she “F---’d her way” to the end. Visibly Nicole was upset, but she decided not to carry it over into DR hysterics nor continue to harp on it afterwards. That’s called taking the High Road.
“LITTLE FELLER” (c) Kingfish
JAMES – Last season being on the wrong side of the House he scratched and clawed his way to the F7. This season his position was more favorable and so will his final placing. Other former HGs who got carried to the F3, i.e. Victoria, Spencer, Jerry, Adam to name several off the top of my head, had little chance to win. Yes he’s also been carried, but unlike the previously mentioned, James does have a shot if carried to the F2. Should Paul or Nicole win the three-part final comp I doubt they would take each other.
Being an HOH, a care package receiver negating two votes, and forced to be a tiebreaking vote due to a co-HOH twist he was unable the completely fly UTR. When forced to make decisions, he went with his gut, and the results helped his advancement. To say his gameplay “failed” because BOTH showmance partners will not advance to the Finals is a harsh criticism because the dynamics of the game make that occurrence remote; especially if you can’t win comps.
EVICTED
Finally some testosterone filtered its way into the Jury House, but from what we saw/heard apparently none was needed.
THE BEAST
VICTOR – An obvious victim of the Anti-Darwin Syndrome resulting in an expected eviction. Not that it meant a lick of difference but to not only voice your frustration but to threaten vengeance to the current power holders was ill-advised. With the reception he received upon entering the Jury House, I might have to admit Victor probably would have won in the F2 even despite his three opportunities. That certainly speaks volumes for him as a person.
TATER TOT
COREY – Can understand his decision to Anti-Darwin Victor. Yet the irony is Nicole probably would have answered more questions correctly than James and Victor combined to win the F4 HOH. AHHH, the best laid plans of mice and men. Mildly surprised Corey was evicted thinking any remaining HG would be favored sitting next to him.
As lame as Natalie’s efforts were to backpedal her way out of throwing James under the bus, Corey’s was just as comical trying to make us believe he was sandbagging. I suppose they believe most fans/viewers are gullible enough to swallow their meager attempts at self-preservation. BTW, point of information...a one-second kiss is not “first base.”
What can I say about my main dudes on these Boards! I believe Kingfish dubbed us the “Titantic Trio.”
Thank you Michel & Kingfish...you guys ROCK!
