(S11E30) Natalie and Kevin made it scheming all the way into the final three on
Big Brother 11. But, did they make it to the final two? Did one of them win the half-million dollars? Or did Jordan blow them both out of the water? It was an unlikely final three and the first two-hour live season finale. Despite the rather lame "high school cliques" theme to the season, it definitely had its moments of
BB history.

(S18E14) Well, tonight was it for
Survivor Tocantins. It's hard to believe that the 18th season of the show is a wrap. Why, wasn't it just a few years ago that Richard Hatch was the evil fat naked gay guy and all the talk around the watercooler? We've progressed a lot during those nine years. This season we stepped up the game to include a naked skinny Mormon crude dude and a delusional coach. So, how did things go down tonight? Read on.

We're almost there. The finale is right around the corner on Tuesday. But before we crown the winner of
Big Brother 10, we have to sit through a clips show with (booming announcer voice) NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE. You know just from how CBS touted this episode that the "never before seen footage" would be
nothing special.
After the jump, let's talk about what happened last night ... or what didn't happen.

(S09E35) Since
Big Brother 9 is so into recaps at the beginning of each show -- and they briefly recapped the whole season at the start of tonight's finale -- I think a recap of what it's been like for an observer is in order, don't you? Let's see how quickly I can do it:
Oh, no! Writers on strike! Quick, get together a
Big Brother winter season, make it couples, make it all about sex, get those ratings! Oh, no! The couples are flopping, go to singles, lose the "Til Death Do You Part" titling, sex isn't working, horrible hamsters! Make Sheila cry some more! Phew, it's D-U-N.

I've been an avid fan of
Big Brother since it first premiered on CBS. I watched all seasons but one so far (I was away for one summer with no access to a TV) and started reading up on the
live feeds last summer. One of the things I like to do when watching is trying to predict who'll be evicted next. So even if Jackie put a "Who will have the jury votes to win
Big Brother 9?" in her review of
Wednesday's episode, I decided to chime in and give my two cents about both players and make my own prediction. Is my vote the same as yours? Read on!

(S09E34) "I was getting drownded!" - SheilaHey, I know I know the word is "drowned." But I'm not Sheila, the single mom, and one of the final three houseguests on
Big Brother 9. I guess I made the foolish decision to work for a living and not pin all my hopes and dreams of a happy future on appearing on a reality television show. She made the decision without seeing even one season of the show in its entirety. I've seen them all. I would never be on the show, never!

Well, it seems that people just can't get enough Evel Dick. If you're not a fan of
Big Brother 8, that sentence might sound just a tad odd. No, I'm not into soft porn although I've heard it can be a fairly lucrative pursuit. But that's not what I'm here for, not at all.
I'm here because the folks at TV Tattler have
a new interview with both Dick and Daniele Donato, first and second place winners of the recently ended Spool of Lies. The ex-estranged, now just bickering on and off but much closer father and daughter duo answered some of the questions which are in the hearts and minds of the forever faithful Big Brother viewers.
Um, well ... it's kind of a schmaltzy situation, so I feel the need to schmaltz!
