The show is completely idiotic and a trainwreck, which is why I love every second of it!
Ross was totally the victim of a bitter jury, but good for Marissa!

Love Marissa, but this is at least two seasons in a row where the jury voted with their hurt feelings instead of voting for who fairly deserved to win.
I also think the way that Omarosa and others were trying to sway the jury right before they voted was inexcusable. I’ve watched every season and that has never happened!

While I do believe Ross (and Paul) deserved to win, their jury management was absolutely atrocious. Especially for Ross who knew the houseguests would have access to watch all the tapes. It's inexcusable that he tells Shannon "you'll watch the tapes and see that I have always had your back", and then she watches them and sees he definitely didn't.

I don't know if it was a necessarily bitter jury. If you count the votes: James was swayed by Marissa's speech, Chuck appreciated her game, Ari just voted as honestly as she could, and I think Keshia really did just want a woman to win, and Omarosa did what any other BB player would have done and voted for the person who wasn't trying to get her out the whole time, makes sense to me.
Meta's vote could have gone either way, really.
Brandi and Mark were always going to vote for Ross.
Shannon was bitter but was going to vote for Marissa either way, I think, as they were friends from DWTS.
But I do think Ross should have won, despite how much I love and wanted Marissa to!

If it was me, I'd prefer the title, "Tony Award- winning actress."

Ross was a better player, but both deserved it.
Biggest shock to me from watching this season was that I actually gained SOME respect for Omarosa. Although she earned some respect, she simultaneously also lost any possible likability factor she might have had as a human being. She said she was happy that America got to see the real her...well, I gave her the benefit of the doubt going into this season and after tonight, my opinion of her has solidified as a classless, selfish, gold-digging fame whore. A FAKE.

The three week season was much easier to digest, as I've found the summer seasons have become to long and dragged out for my taste. And when you match it with an unlikeable cast (as has been the problem for many seasons), it makes it feel like a lifetime.
That said, at the end I really didn't care who won between Ross and Marissa. They both played the game the same, so it was six of one half dozen of the other. But maybe with this exposure, MJW can be cast as the new 'Dolly" ?

This was the first time I watched the American version. Not a fan like I am of the Birtish version. American was all about strategy and the Birtish is more about the people in the house. I never realized how different both shows are.

Does the celebrity's money go to charity or are they themselves the charity?
Posted: 2/26/18 at 3:36pm
Betty, With the exception of Shannon, who planned to use the money for her animal charity, the rest were playing for themselves. Brandi, specifically stated she needed the money to pay for her children's private school. Marissa stated her family really needed the money. She said she was hoping her husband's project got picked up. Not sure what he does, but I read on Jokers website that it did get picked up.

As for the skewed balance of women over men, Julie Chen stated on TV before the celebrity series began that there were 11 contestants yet still 3 spots available. Regrets, I do not recall where I saw this though I did see it firsthand.
My hunch is that the production was searching for an even amount of 7 women and 7 men but had to settle for 11 instead of the planned 14 contestants.

The only people I HATED in this season were the rat pack: Marissa Jaret Winokur and Ross Mathews. They had no idea what "hypocrisy" means and played the dirtiest game of all houseguests, especially Mr. Mathews. I watched the feeds a few times and they were way nastier and more unlikable than the broadcast episodes made them seem to be. The consensus of the feeds chat room was that Marissa should shut the F up.
Yes, the show is stupid and sacrilegiousto the Big Brother that Orwell brought to us.

you said it...16 years ago on Broadway obviously nothing is happening for her when you have to subject yourself to do this crap show!

It’s Big Brother. You have to be a bit of a hypocrite in the game to play the game. Admittedly, I didn’t watch the live feeds, but the fact that you insinuate that you liked Omarosa more than Marissa and Ross blows my mind.

Yes, I unabashedly admit that I enjoyed Omarosa a hundred times more than the rat pack. Does it also blow your mind that Omarosa went to Harvard? Did it also blow your mind when Omarosa revealed that she was in Ready for Hillary before the whole group was cast aside by Robby Mook?
She once said, "all of us have to stick together and get behind this sister because I'm going to tell you, when I was at the White House, she cared about each and every one of us and she made sure we stayed connected to the issues that were important." http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/politicsnow/la-pn-hillary-clinton-los-angeles-fundraiser-20131106-story.html
It's funny, as Omarosa said herself, that left-wing media or basically MSM branded her as the Omarosa from The Apprentice. Painting someone as a villain is always easier and better caters to the masses' confirmation bias.

You have clearly drank the Omarosa cool-aid, which is your right. I have not. She is not a dumb woman. She is clearly very intelligent. And she knew going into that White House exactly what a racist person Trump was and is. And she went anyway because the only person she really appears to care about is herself. Say what you will about the final two contestants, but I do believe they care about others in their lives outside of the game and even inside of the game. They had to separate from that a bit in order to play the game because that is how you play the game successfully. And I will say that if the final two have been Omarosa and Mark, she should’ve won because she played a better game than Mark did. In fact I would say her everyday skills of lying and manipulating served her pretty well in the game up to a point. Every single person (well besides maybe Meta) was making secret, side deals. Some just did it more successfully than others.
