What should have been...
As we come down to the BB7 finale tomorrow night, the final two is set with Mike Boogie and Erika taking the honors. As I write that, I cringe. There's no possible way that either of those two should be taking home the winner's money - Boogie sat in his buddy Will's shadow and snuck into the finals by winning a few key competitions; Erika floated her way to the end.
This is the way the show should've played out:
1) Janelle - there's no question that Janelle was the best player this season and she should be taking home the money. Yes, she made a few mistakes by trusting Will too much but she also won a record nine competition and was the one that finally had enough guts to send the Doctor home.
2) Will - the evil Doctor was at it again. He didn't win a single competition (mostly strategy) and still made it to the final four. He had everyone believing all of his lies and it almost worked again. After this season's performance, he can still rightfully claim the "best player in BB history" title.
Hmm...well, I thought I was going to be able to rank all fourteen players but then I realized that this season was a game of two and it's a shame that neither of them are in the final two. But how often does what should happen actually happen? In life, not very often...so we have to deal with what we're handed and this is what we have: a Boogie-Erika BB7 final.
The jury:
Danielle - which Danielle will be voting? The one that told Erika she wouldn't vote for her in the end if she put her on the block or the Danielle that said she'd vote for the best player when she left the house (opening a small chance that she might give Erika her vote)? Remember, Danielle was pretty pissed that her "friend" (Erika) put her on the block...but also remember that Danielle was in an alliance with Will & Boogie and they were ultimately the ones that sent her (and her bud, James) packing. (Prediction: Erika)
George - I have no clue how the Chicken Man will vote. At different times in the game, he was in a (fake) alliance with both Boogie and Erika. (Prediction: Boogie)
Howie - this is one of the two sure votes. He's voting for Erika to win because him and Boogie were at near blows when Howie evicted. (Prediction: Erika)
James - sure, he was in an alliance with Chill Town and they sent him home but in his eviction interview with Julie, he said that he was beaten by the best (Will, Janelle and Boogie). He knows the game well enough to realize that Erika is a floater and doesn't deserve to win. (Prediction: Boogie)
Janelle - even though Janey should've won and she knows it, she still needs to vote for someone else to win. In what might look like a tough decision, I don't think it will be. (Prediction: Erika)
Marcellas - another "dunno" vote. Chill Town did throw the POV competition that led to Danielle saving herself and Marcellas being put up and sent to sequester, but you still never know with Marcellas, who has always been emotional and unpredictable. (Prediction: Boogie)
Will - hmm, rack one up for the bromance. (Prediction: Boogie)
By a vote of 4-3, Mike... you have won Big Brother Seven.
Janelle still gets my vote though.
