AG interview (sorry, I don't have the source link)...

There's just one week to go before "Big Brother" ends one of its most successful seasons ever-- and, not surprisingly, emotions among fans are intense right now.

For many, the dominant feeling is one of disappointment: Only one member of Team Jeff-- aka the good guys-- remains. Michelle was evicted tonight, leaving Jordan all by herself to carry the banner for the team viewers seemed to love the most.

Meanwhile, one despised player (Natalie) and one annoying player (Kevin) are still in contention for the $500,000, and odds are one of them will win it.

"'Big Brother' is like watching a sporting event," exec producer Allison Grodner told TV MoJoe in our weekly post-eviction chat. "You go all season with your favorite team, and sometimes they make it. And sometimes they don't. It's very real."

The fact that there's a very real chance many viewers will be bummed by the outcome of the game only serves to highlight just how little "Brother" producers are able to stage manage the game.

"If the game were fixed, it's very possible America's favorites might very well be in it," Grodner laughs.

One thing Grodner won't comment on: Insider reports that producers have decided to shake up the structure of the final days of the game.

According to a person with knowledge of the situation, next Tuesday's finale will begin with all three current members of the house still in the game. The final two won't be determined until Tuesday's live show, just moments before the jury decides the ultimate winner of the show.

That would mean the final evictee won't have much sway over the jury. And that all three houseguests will be staying with each other longer than they expected.

It also means Tuesday's finale promises to be must-see for fans, since it'll be the only way to find out who wins the final HOH-- and if Jordan will stay alive.

Part two of the final HOH competition will be seen on Thursday's show. Sunday's episode is expected to be a best of and "moments you didn't see" hour.

Grodner's only response when asked about the finale shakeup: "Tune in Thursday," she said.

Now, on with the Q&A:

So isn't Jeff to blame for the situation we're in now, with Natalie and Kevin in control?

The team was rolling along. They had a final four (agreement). You could argue about whether Russell would have honored it. But his taking out Russell when he did... that really turned things to the other side.

It wasn't just pure paranoia on Jeff's part. But Kevin and Natalie...are playing the strategic social part of this, and the lying and deviousness part of this, to their advantage. Jeff bought it hook, line and sinker.

If Kevin or Natalie win the final HOH, who will they take with them?

I think that Natalie says she's 100 percent in Kevin's court. She feels confident she can beat any one of these people and has friends in the jury house. That remains to be seen, especially given what some of the people in jury have seen lately.

On the other hand, Kevin... is really looking out for how he can win this half-million dollars. He's been quite consistent in the diary room saying he wants to cut her...at the last minute. He thinks his best chance of winning is sitting next to Jordan.

I think this is going to be a close vote no matter what.

Natalie isn't liked by many fans. What has she done well in this game?

She played the chess game well. She didn't win competitions. She's lied a lot. But she manipulated like a lot of the best of them. But she doesn't have the charisma of the rest of them.

She's also had Kevin under her thumb since Jessie left. Before that, she was his lapdog. But after that, she's really played a pretty good poker game with these people.

This is the first year for Pandora's Box. How did it work out?

It's been interesting. It's a twist I've wanted to try for a while. I think it's played into some of the drama here. I mean, who knew Natalie would go to such an extent to lie?

That lie...really proved to Kevin that Natalie is playing for her self and playing a deceptive game. He lost all trust (because of Pandora's).

I've also always found it fascinating to test people on greed vs. the best interests of the rest of the house.

So what was the smartest move of the season?

I think getting Ronnie out when they did. He's someone who could have gone far, who could have gone the distance.

And the Marcellas award for dumbest move?

Two things. Jeff trusting Kevin and Natalie. Everyone here screamed collectively, "How could you?" After they spent the whole season lying to them-- I was shocked.

And the move by Kevin tonight to evict Michelle could be Kevin's downfall. I think Michelle was Kevin's best chance (of getting to the finale). If Jordan wins, I think she'll listen to Natalie.

OK, I have to ask: Some of the annoying characters who entered the house last week during Pandora's Box seemed familiar. Like they'd been in the house in past seasons?

Maybe.

Can you tell us who?

Why don't we see if fans can figure it out. We'll have a contest. A "Big Brother" T-shirt to whoever comes up with which annoyance was previously in the house and what season they last appeared.

Janelle, Dick, Danielle, and Boogie are going to be on the live show tonight.

The house guests haven't been told to pack yet, which lends some more credibility the whole Tuesday extravaganza.

so right now they have only done the first phase of the final comp?

Yup. They gave Jordan and Natalie something to practice on last night, that's it.

It was pretty much skee ball with two huge holes. I'm assuming it will be a T/F comp and they'll have to roll the ball into their answer.
 
Fake Big Brother House in Turkey Raided

Wow, that's pretty crazy/scary. I have always wondered how anyone trusts that these reality shows they are trying out for are legit. Especially stuff like Joe Shmoe, Joe Millionaire, My Big Fat Fiance, etc which turn out to be fake reality shows. Makes me wary of trying out for anything.

If I did though, I would probably try out for either Big Brother or The Amazing Race. I remember when I was way younger I wanted to be on The Real World, but not anymore. :lol

Holy fuck that is INSANE!

I'm setting up a craigslist post now.
 
Final three are staying until finale night, so that whole blurb on the top of the page is true. That kind of sucks because that will waste at least an hour of the "reunion." I guess it'll be more like Survivor now.

Jordan is actually looking good tonight.
 
Third round of the final HoH is live during the finale.

They're still having the jury questions, but the last person isn't going to have any time to sway them.

Jedi Janie and Evel Dick, awesome. Two of my favorites.

Yeah it's cool seeing them again. It kind of makes me want another all-stars, even though I'll be pissed if they do it. :lol
 
Wow, the jury members hate Natalie. Seems like Kevin might have more chances against her than Jordan...especially if Jordan wins the last HOH.

Yeah, Kevin has always had the best chance against Natalie but I don't think he ever realized it. He might have a couple nights ago, but there haven't been enough feeds to tell.

Edit:

BYE BYE BITCHES! Oh how I missed good Big Brother.
 
5 is easily beatable. But it's Jordan...

When asked what he did with half a million, Dick should have said "Bought some drugs for me and my pals".
 
I like this new schedule for the final days. Tonight's episode has been good - lots of content, nice pace, and I bet the finale will be even better too (having the final competition on the last night).

Agreed. However, I was hoping of two straight hours of calling people out for all their bullshit. We won't get that now.

It will be more exciting though and good for their ratings.

This is an absolutely ridiculous and convoluted way to do the America vote.

It makes sense, though. Say I wanted Kevin to win versus Natalie but not Jordan, it'd be tough to decide which to vote for if it were just a free-for-all threeway vote. I'm not sure how else they could've done it.

I agree that it comes off as a tad confusing, though.
 
Kifimbo said:
Hell yeah ! She did great too. Natalie will look like a fool to Kevin when the scores are revealed.

You know what? I think Kevin set Natalie up. Remember how he was telling here she's better at the knowledge based games? lmao
 
Now for five days of the most boring BB ever.

Haha good point.
 
So will the jury get a DVD of the last week so they can see how well Jordan did in these comps? If not I could see them all voting for Kevin.
 
The vote is kinda convoluted. Hopefully the CBS website is set up where I can knock out the votes all in one page. I am not even going to try till tomorrow since I'm sure it will be swarmed all night tonight.
 
GO JORDAN!

Kind of funny thinking Kevin could have aligned himself with Michele who it's hard to picture being that stupid on a competition like this. Instead he got Gnat. :lol

Well it doesn't really matter who you're aligned with in the final three. By then it's all about who you can beat in jury votes, so sticking with Natalie was smart for him.
 
It was awesome when Julie shut Natalie down. Natalie was complaining that it wasn't strictly memory and Julie was just like shut the fuck up Natalie.

Jordan did awesome, hopefully she can pull out another win.
 
Nastalie is lame, shows how much athletic skill it doesn't require to be a keet june do champion or whatever she is. Kevin deserves to win the whole thing, but Jeff still royally fucked it all up. Nastalie just isn't a likeable person, does her fiance know she was messing around with Jessie?
 
Oh God, best news I've heard all day. :lol

I had to call someone to get the results as I was out late for a class. I can't wait to check out the Natalie hate.

And Joker Updates, she's trying to run damage control because she knows it's over for her.

:lol :lol :lol

OMG, she's trying to tell her not to trust promises made by Kevin. :lol

Right out the gate, throwing him under the bus left and right. So much for loyalty.

Even Jordan would know there's absolutely no reason at this stage to not accept a deal with him. There's nothing Natalie can offer her at this stage of the game.

Knowing that she has no shot at the grand prize is nice (Very, actually).... but how amaaazing would it be for her to go home with nothing but her stipend and watch Michele win the Jury Prize? :lol
