Just as a kind of countdown, let me iterate the Final Two’s which consisted of people neither of which I ever wanted to see win the whole shebang:

Season 4: Jun and Allison  
Season 5: Drew and Cowboy  
Season 6: Maggie and Ivette

and now Season 7: Erika and Booger  
[/QUOTE]

Ditto. In fact, I didn’t even watch the finale in seasons 4 and 6 I disliked Jun, Allison, Maggie, and Ivette so much.

That said (I haven’t decided if I’ll watch yet) I think Boogie just may have a chance to win this, and I honestly kind of hope he does. As has already been noted in this thread, Boogie really did play all his cards right. He had the strategy thing down—I really don’t think Will could have done it without him—and he won when he needed to. I think many will find his gameplay more admirable than Erika’s, since she basically floated for most of the game and rode coattails. She never really stuck her neck out and took any big chances, except for getting rid of Danielle, and Chilltown was behind that. Still, I can’t see Howie or Marcellus ever voting for Boogie. Hard to say on the rest. I’m sure Will will be campaigning for him.

I think Janelle knew she had no chance of making it to the F2. She really played the game well and too many people in the jury house have a lot of respect for her. Hell, Boogie and Erika have respect for her too, judging from their goodbyes to her. They knew what they were up against.

The people watching the live feeds over the next few days are going to be _miserable_ watching Boogie and Erika.

How are the votes going to go?

Howie- 100% Erika. He hates booger.

Will- 100% booger.

James- 50/50. He always seemed okay with CT however they did lie to him when they evicted him. ???

Danielle- 70% booger. She was pretty pissed at Erika for booting her.

GC- 70% booger. He always thought the CT guys were cool. He had something against Erika. He even put her up on the block.

Marcellus- 80% Erika. He hatses the chilltown.

Janelle- 60% Erika. She can’t blame either of them for her late demise but owes it to Erika for coming clean in the end.

What was up with Boogie CRYING about being in the house without Will? Eeeew.  
[/QUOTE]

Seeing Boogie cry into his hat and say “we can dish it out but we can’t take it” really made my heart sing. That was the best moment of the season. Loved it!

And the unanswered “brrrring! brrrring!” was kind of poignant. Then I remembered it was Booger and laughed at him heartlessly.

I was thinking it was to placate the sequestered house guests. From what I understand, if they leave they don’t get the pay for being on the show. For people like Danielle and George with families, the money seems low to stay away from their people. Will is a doctor so he probably doesn’t care about the pay. Maybe for Howie and a few others it would actually be worth staying for that amount. The $25,000 could have been promised as a carrot to keep everyone guessing and wanting to stay with Howie.  
[/QUOTE]

You are talking about the same Will who gave up a bunch of veto points for only $5,000, aren’t you?

There are only two possibilities for the $25,000: Danielle or Chicken George. It all depends on people’s voting criteria–the mom or the lovable oaf. Personally, I’d give it to James, but what do I know?

My take on the votes:

BOOGIE: Will, James, George

ERIKA: Marcellas, Howie

SWING VOTES: Janelle, Danielle

I think Janelle will vote for Boogie; Danielle will get over her hurt and vote for Erika–game, set, match to Chilltown. Considering that until Janelle evicted Will, Chilltown were the only ones in the house who had any kind of intelligent plan, it’s well deserved.

SUPER BOWL!!! 🆒
