"On Tuesday night, CBS's Big Brother almost anointed its first gay winner after airing for eleven seasons. But a last minute tiebreaker question meant out contestant Kevin Campbell had to settle for third place. Still, Kevin did an admirable job and managed to break the record for the longest a gay man has managed to stay in the Big Brother house, beating out former record holder Marcellas Reynolds. AfterElton.com had the chance to talk to Kevin the day after the big finale before he'd even had a chance to see any of the show."

Well, I'm not happy that Natalie got second place, but I'm happy with the Jordan win and the Jeff America's choice win. Looking forward to BB12!
- Rochelle
yeah, I liked jeff and jordan all season. jordan totally backed into it, but I do give her credit for nailing the final HOH comps, she did awesome in both. (except for that question about jeff, how could she get that one wrong?!?!). I always like the end of BB cuz that means that SURVIVOR is starting.
- Bill Kinney
So here we go, finale night. What are your predictions for the 3 possible scenarios? I think: If Kev/Nat, winner = Kevin, if Kev/Jor, winner = Kevin, if Jor/Nat, winner = Jordan
- Tim Hoeck
I don't think Jordan would beat Natalie, but I guess it depends on how that age thing plays out.
- Bill Kinney
At this point, my only care in a purely spiteful way is that Natalie finishes out of the money. Looking more likely. What a crappy finish to this season. Who cares who wins? not many.
"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."

smacks of ratings grab because they know how unpopular the remaining contestants are. gotta get people to watch somehow, right?
- Bill Kinney
according to this same source, Sunday would be a best of show
- Bill Kinney
I don't think this favors anybody in particular. It could actually favor Natalie if she makes it because there won't be a lot of time to challenge her on the age thing by the jury
- Bill Kinney
I don't even care anymore. This season is worse than Janelle's season when the 'Friendship Alliance' all skated into the finals.
- Trish R
It had a lot of promise early on, and Jeff using the Coup D'etat was one of the best BB moments of all time for me, but the strong players took each other out to leave us with these people. It happens... part of the show I guess.
- Bill Kinney
I say Jordan - I think he can beat both depending on how Natalie's age thing plays out, but Jordan would be the sure thing, I would think.

Posted on FB by Evel Dick: Big Announcement.... The final three is so fucking horrible this year that they are going to have a triple eviction and tell them all to kill themselves, that they suck, America hates them (except Jordan, but she won't understand anyhow) and that they are replacing them with myself, JP, MB & DR. . . .
Seriously, I wish death upon [redacted]. Once again, I'm watching a season where I'm rooting for people to lose rather than win.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Everyone on the show sucks. This was by far the worst compilation of contestants I've seen in a long time.
- Derrick
I actually like Jordan and Jeff. And Jessie was surprisingly funny and played really well this year. However, everyone else sucks the sucking suckable suckage of sucky sucks.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Oh, I liked Kevin. I forgot he was on there, he was so kind of nondescript.
- Derrick
You just like Kevin because he's gay and you gays stick together (sometimes literally).
- Akiva Moskovitz
HE'S SPOKEN FOR. I'M TRYNA *MAKE* A HOME, NOT BREAK A HOME. *cries*
- Derrick
Interesting -- I follow Evel Dick on FB and he posted that he's been served with a gag order and no longer allowed to discuss BB until the 10th. Wonder if that means he's going to be on one of the competitions?
If so, then that means Kevin takes himself off, Natalie goes up in his place, and then Kevin is the only voter, right? So he gets to choose between Natalie and Jordan. He would keep Natalie and evict Jordan, I'm sure.
- Rochelle
Kevin and Michelle were nominated, so now Jordan will go up in Kevin's place.
- Trish R
Oh wait, Natalie is HOH. I was thinking it was Michele. Okay, so the only voter is Kevin still. Between Michele and Jordan, he will keep Michele, yeah?
- Rochelle
I cannot believe that Natalie and Kevin will now be in the Top 3 and might possibly win.
- Trish R
Talk about the least deserving players in the game. Especially Natalie. I can tolerate a Kevin or a Michelle win but only barely. I'd like for Jordan to win but no one's going to be dumb enough (other than Jeff, of course) to take her to the Final Two.
- Akiva Moskovitz
"Glamour model Sophie Reade is the bookmakers' favourite to be crowned winner of Big Brother later. Reade, 20, legally changed her name to Dogface to secure her place on the Channel 4 reality show in June."

Wow. Either that photo is really Photoshopped or she has had a lot of plastic surgery. Or both.
- Rochelle
I wonder if the BB house is affected by the smoke from the wildfires in CA? I've heard a lot of sirens in the past few days but haven't heard them mention smoke or smog or anything.
I found a map of the fire: http://www.latimes.com/la-me-l... Seems close enough to be getting some smoke, yeah? I wonder of the houseguests were told of the fire so they don't think that the CBS complex is on fire or something, and then told not to discuss it?
- Rochelle
Studio City isn't that close...that's a much more urban locale. The fires are primarily in a wooded/forested part in the San Gabriel Valley and in Angeles Crest forest.
- Derrick
Who's gonna go up? My guess is Jordan and Michele with the intent to backdoor Jeff. I want Jeff or Michele to win at this point, and that's looking more and more unlikely.
Looks like Jeff is gonna go this week, huh? He didn't win POV, so looks like he'll be on the block against Jordan. I think he screwed up by back dooring Russell too soon.
- Trish R
I don't know, my gut said yeah he shouldn't.. it's definitely a touchy decision to not trust your alliance this close to the end. My brain says he made the right move, unfortunately, someone has to lose this week.. shame :)
- Tim Hoeck
yeah, Russell would have probably turned on him, too. I think he was going up no matter who stayed and who left.
- Trish R
yeah, and he's been an ass about it for the last two days. Though Jeff and Jordan are really getting on my nerves too. I am not happy where this season has ended up - you're either gonna have hypocrites dumb and dumber winning it, or 2 losers that can't win a comp to save their lives and haven't really won jack.
- Bill Kinney
Everyone on this season has been so batsh!t crazy, I don't really find myself siding with anyone. Between Russell, Chima, and Lydia, my level meters are pinned to eleven. It's probably crested for me in terms of appeal, but it'll be interesting to see what happens with the remaining people.
- Derrick
Jordan/Jeff trying to decide whether they can trust Michelle and Russell.. they have talked with Kevin/Natalie about putting Russell up if veto is used, meanwhile Natalie/Kevin trying to work a final two, Kevin tells Natalie if he wins veto, he will take HER off instead of Lydia! Russell got wind of an issue, and confronted Jeff/Jordan, told them he would not betray them... what will happen!? Thursday is live POV, Eviction and HoH..
- Tim Hoeck
Russell doesn't know that it was Michelle who told Jeff/Jordan about him possibly putting them up..
- Tim Hoeck
Now Jordan/Jeff confronted Russell outside with Michelle, and told him that Michelle gave them the info... argument ensues.. what the hell are they doing?! You don't break up your alliance when you are HoH!
- Tim Hoeck
haven't watched much feeds this week. tonight should be interesting.
- Bill Kinney
I'm hoping tonight is a good show, since there's a live POV and live eviction. I haven't been watching the feeds very much this week, either. J/J are annoying me because Jeff is about to pull a Howie and vote out Russell (James) who can help him another week or two.
- Trish R
I agree, Trish.. it'll be a stupid move. I *think* they may have cleared it up enough that it won't happen, but who knows what will happen.. once you start to question your alliance, they start to question you ;)
