Ratings - Farewell to Poopy edition

We've had a few nasty finale revelations but I don't think we've ever seen anything like that. Even with the usual juror warning about no game or outside news, they had to do something with Aaryn to satisfy the bloodthirsty, but I don't think anyone expected Julie to read her more notorious quotes to her. Big ups to Julie and the producers for not copping out, and I only hope they confront GinaMarie, Amanda, and Spencer for their stuff as well so as not to propagate the problem of unfairly pinning all the sins on Aaryn alone. David, Jeremy, & Kaitlin got away clean but we're well past the point of no return now. I wonder if they had to put Aaryn in a straitjacket to keep her from bolting after she left Julie's boudoir. PS I was a huge fan of the BB8 bunny suits and would have liked them to return, but I'm loving the chicken suits! Also, what's up with McCrae calling the giant laundry pile Towel Mountain© now? That was mine. I'd add that to his Dingoisms tally, but that would lead to a chicken vs egg question and/or more ridiculous rumors.
Won: 50 shades of orange VTE Aaryn NOMINATED Drama on the feeds is one thing but she's gone way too far way too often, and it's not fun. PS She's still there. Will you stop reading, spreading, and believing pasted-up fake Facebook rumors now? Good.	Won: Nothing yet No vote (nominee) BB5 Cowboy introduced us to that very useful word 'nervousing' and nothing describes Andy better today, both on the block and afterward, clearly uncomfortable with having to lie to his former teamies to stay in cahoots with his new ones. If Amanda finds out about the Exterminators and goes after him, it might not end well.
Won: Sit out 1 veto comp No vote (HOH) Her sniping style is obviously more understated than Amanda's but she's far from innocent in the continuing bloody cat 'n mouse game they keep playing. Her hypocrisy is transparent and tedious.	Won: 48 hour cone of shame VTE Aaryn HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD Super big ups for winning another physical comp, especially one involving hopping and bending over the day after painfully wrenching her back. Anyone who's been there can relate and marvel at the accomplishment. She's said her share of stuff she shouldn't, but she balances it by her infectious childlike joy at simple pleasures and the occasional acts of kindness done for her. All signs point to her putting up Amanda & McCrae tomorrow, and I don't know if any of the rest of them would have the nerve to do that.
Won: $5,000, 24 hour solitary, revival, 48 36 hour chicken VTE Aaryn He did some griping about his chicken suit being too hot and shedding too much, but he countered it with silly poses and jokes. He seems sure to stick this week and the global agreement to boot whoever was revived will be even more forgotten than it is now.	Won: $5,000 VTE Aaryn NOMINATED - HOLDS VETO His showmance/BB marriage has a very good chance of being broken up this week and none too soon. I'm hoping he's the one who stays as he's still fun when he's hanging with anyone other than Amanda.
Won: $10,000, Bahamas trip, 24 hour megaphone, 48 36 hour chicken VTE Aaryn He popped a good funny saying Julie hasn't asked him anything in 10 weeks, and I'm glad he finally got a chance to vote again. He's also making some good chicken jokes and I hope he can keep that up.	Won: Nothing She was Bigotgate's poster girl as it spread as far as USA Today, NY Times and international news outlets. Flipping Candice's bed didn't help, nor did her continual denial of having said anything wrong. The fact that Howard & Helen were evicted under her HOHs didn't help her rep, but they were as much game-related group decisions as they were personal. She lost most of her teamies early but she rallied and stuck til jury, largely due to winning four HOHs, making that record a six-way tie, as well as Amanda winning her over to do her dirty work. She had a fit about having her hat sat on, she drank nail polish remover, was a #Deathrace2013 contender for both roots & extensions, and her friend Clownie had a dedicated overnight feed many nights along with five suicide attempts. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to give mirror-face, most likely to waste away on slop, and most likely to either be booted early for no reason, or go to finals against someone they all hate and win -Fail on all counts, but I don't think anyone expected what we got
Won: 2 night curfew, BBQ party She started out okay but once she won HOH, she got a raging case of HOHitis that never cleared up. Her political background helped her manipulate them but she played it too heavy, and that was her undoing with both hamsters and feedsters. She learned about teabagging and dental dams this summer, but someone needs to tell her dentists use them too. She held nail parties, orchestrated activities, cried way too many fake tears and a few real ones, reminded everyone she's a mom more than BB9 Sheila Kennedy, and she overused 'I love you' like a teenage boy trying to get laid. #STFUHelen became a thing on Twitter for a few weeks, and it even trended on her eviction show. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to talk too much and too long. -Check and double-check	Won: Nothing She was a non-entity for most of the season other than crying over Helen's BBQ party (then going anyway) plus a knockdown drag-out with Amanda, until she got wind she was about to be evicted. Then she revved up Tropical Storm Jessie and swore she'd turn them all against each other after she left. That was fun for an afternoon and would have made her one of the most memorable hamsters of all time if she'd kept it up but alas, she fizzled, apologized, and will fade into obscurity with so many others. She had the reputation of being a man-izer but most of that happened before the feeds, and all we got was a 2-day sHOwmance with Judd. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to find herself without an alliance. -Check, repeatedly
Won: $5,000, 1 week clown suit She laid around with Howard until he left, and then she mostly laid around by herself. She still managed to figure in many of the fights, including one during the veto comp and one during her own eviction. I think a lot of their problems with her started before the feeds did, but it's fair to say she egged it on as well. She'll be remembered for tragic life stories, being the Mad Hatter sitting on hats (or not), Keepin' It Real With Candie, her crab shack story, meeting Julie in a clownitard, and the #BlameCandice hashtag game. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to say she's there 'for the experience' -I don't know if she said that much or not	Won: Nothing He was eloquent and animated in Diary but we didn't get that guy on the feeds. Instead he mostly laid around with Candice, held Bible study in the coach seats, and prayed in the photo booth. He isolated Candice and himself, killing both of their games, and their combined lack of awareness foiled any chance for his 11th hour save plan to succeed. He gave sudden speeches that few understood, but he wore Candice's tassel earrings and Judd's crown equally well. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to parannoy, eventually -Fail - others freaked out for no reason more than he did
Won: Nothing She was a caboose for the mean girl train and when she wasn't straddling Jeremy, she was laying around making out with him, including in her bestie's HOH bed whenever Aaryn stepped away. She took being widowed better than GinaMarie, but she had several days to prepare for it and seemed almost proud of making 'Big Brother history' by using her veto. Otherwise she brought eyebrow adventures, and apologies when she mouthed off, which is more than some. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to be intimidated, taken advantage of, and blindsided -Fail, although Jeremy's eviction did blindside her.. taken advantage of is subjective	Won: Permanent Have-not pass He claimed 1/16 Cherokee but he besmirched that heritage regularly, along with many others. He caused and starred in the big Winegate fight, smooched with Kaitlin while laying his hand on Aaryn's leg, wore a diaper, and mistakenly boasted he'd win every comp. He was a boy in a man's body, but his tattoos were nicer looking than most heavily tatted hamsters' have been. He'll be most remembered for being the asshat of BB15. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to get in a fight -Check
Won: Nothing He came in saying he hoped for stardom but it probably won't happen as a result of this show. Overnighters got to know his blue hoodie & cap well, and he was usually the last one to go to bed. That's usually good strategy but it didn't help him. The over-the-top character he played in pre-season interviews gave him a rough start with most, but he didn't stick long enough for us (me anyway) to get to know what he's really about. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to namedrop and be generally annoying -Subjective, but I'll take it	Won: Nothing He didn't bring much to the feeds and he seemed oblivious about how the show works, but those types are the ones who get blindsided and we always like to see that. The Aaryn & David Comedy Show was fun for a minute but all the controversy she fed took the fun out of that, so it's just as well he got gone early. Back to the beach and watching BB on the couch with mom. My pre-season prediction: -Most likely to climb on stuff and be told 'Stop that!' -Check, first night of feeds
