Steve and Vanessa hugging in the backyard

Julia

She was a nervous wreck, tripped on stage

She assumes she has fans LOL

"People liked us?"

Jeff: "I liked you" LOL

Her favourite moment was the night of BB chopped (improvised cook off)

She is not upset with anyone

She wonders at Donald Trump

She is going to Bora-Bora with her sister's money "Austin isn't coming"

She thinks she might see Austin for Christmas dinner but is dubious about long distance relationships

Jeff gave her the same dressing up doll he gave her sister

Julia: "This is the best interview I've done all night.........Rachel's was good too though!"

LOL

Steve shaking hands with Austin.

Go and wash immediately....

Happy with the result.

Although Steve is a slightly weak winner James winning America's fave and Vanessa getting evicted <333

Steve

He's "feeling a lot of things, winning wasn't one of them. I don't have the social skills"

He had a feeling Vanessa wasn't going to take him to F2

He was nervous about how he would be perceived

Mom talk....

Jeff thinks his speeches were on point

"Vanessa is Derrick, she's Dan, she's Dr Will....."

"Vanessa is a brilliant, brilliant player"

He will pay off his college loans

Jeff teases him about doing something bad with the money. Steve is speechless.

"I don't know how I won. It was a freak accident"

Jeff gives him a chess set, with toy money inside

Steve thanks fans for their support (LOL) and will see them on jokers and survivor sucks. Oh dear.....

Austin is still trying to "police" Liz. LOL

It won't end well...

Glad to hear Steve won. I am surprised Vanessa was bitter voting. Would have expected more from a professional gamer.

And the poser won AFP because he has a kid i assume. Ugggghh.

Vanessa and Austin hashing it out

V: "I couldn't win against you"

A: "I'm not upset, honestly"

V: I'm unbelievably loyal"

V: "It would break my heart for you not to forgive me"

A: "We're fine"

Vanessa offers to teach Austin to play poker.....

Vanessa now with Jeff

She put blood sweat tears into every decision

"I knew I could play perfectly and still not win"

She says people are learning she is human and sometimes she cries

She tried really hard

Her favourite moment was when Julia outed herself to her

Vanessa is very animated.....

Jeff would never have let the twins come in, "I'm not great" LOL

She could never read John

She was hoping Steve would blow the Part 3 and can't blame Steve for evicting her, because she would've evicted him.

She was most loyal to the twins

She regrets never having a #2 to have her back. She wanted Shelli, but ooops

She says she's learned to let go of the things she can't control

She wants to be a DJ, rather than a poker player

Jeff loves her attitude and thanks her for a great season

Jeff hoped she was going to win

He gives her a tissue box packed with beanies

She talks about how hard BB is, much harder than anyone ever thinks

She would play again (duh)

Jeff: "If anyone comes back, it's gonna be you"

BB17 Over and out.

That bit with Vanessa and Austin, oh my so hilarious

Wish Vanessa had won, I felt she was the most deserving based on her gameplay. Between Steve and Liz though - Steve deserved it.

Disappointed Vanessa couldn't finish off the job. he fully deserved to win in my opinion. Sounds like she would've owned her moves to the jury as well which was my big question mark. It says a lot that pretty much all the pre-jurors wanted Vanessa to win or thought she deserved to win.

Glad James won AFP over JMac. Shocked at Jackie being bitter. Expected it from Meg but can't see how anyone with any common sense would ever vote for Steve over Vanessa.

Loved this season, pretty sad it's over. I so badly wanted a female winner this year and towards the end I was really rooting for Vanessa to pull it out. Steve to me was such a boring and undeserving winner but I never seem to like the winners (Andy, Derrick zzzz).

All-stars next year please please please

Vanessa didn't bitter vote, she always said in conversations with Austwins that she doesn't think much of Steve's game, he was so cagey with her and she expected more from him. Vanessa was closer with the twins and thought as recruits they exceeded her expectations.
Steve was basically just a vote to Austin's Angels.

Can't get more poser than Johnny Mac......

Liked Vanessa not winning, unfortunately that also meant the rather nondescript Steve seemed obviously winning. Liz didn't even try with her speeches anyway.

James won the favourite award purely because of the producer's edit with the repetitive and childish hide and seek crap. Johnny Mac was actually someone with a personality at least.

The competitions were predictable in the first two parts. Vanessa was always likely to win a physical challenge like that and Steve the mental one (though Liz did a decent effort).

The scales AGAIN? What a pointless gimmick, they even repeated it on the Canadian one too. No doubt some answers were guesswork.

No pleas before the final eviction? Not that I like pleas anyway, they normally just give an eviction away beforehand.

The best part was DaVonne and Jason talking about what they had seen. Really all of the first 6 evictees may as well have said something as talking about what he HGs didn't see on the HLs should be an important part of the final show, considering we don't get a later reunion episode like other shows.

I skipped over the no doubt well rehearsed/partly scripted 'Doctor Will' section. They wheel out the same people season after season.

Vanessa bragging about her millions a few times, well I guess that's what such Americans do.

Anyone have any links to the backyard interviews?

Perhaps he didn't win because his DR screeching people who voted found ridiculous, obnoxious, annoying and hurt their ears. I voted for James because he had a great attitude throughout the series. He played well, he made moves, he won competitions, he was always a bright spot in the HL's. He was never mean, he was never vicious or vindictive. He was playful, he was entertaining and he kept us in the loop in his DR entries. He told US the truth in his DR without the dramatics or fake voices or screeching. Fact is for me, I was ok with anyone BUT John winning AFP. He annoyed me throughout the series. He was the only one I kept hoping they'd evict so I didn't have to listen to one more DR screeching session.

I pretty much felt exactly the same but with some hindsight I feel ok with Steve winning.
Yes he was invisible for many weeks and then he was rather cowardly but in the final portion he was all game. He won when he had to. He won most of the competitions in the final weeks. AND he did grow up loving BB.

Vanessa worked it all series, she was at the forefront of most of what happened and she won plenty but she also never owned her game as Jason said. Not even to us in the DR. So her game did have flaws, if minor ones and they cost her the game. Besides having f2 with just about everyone in the house was a bit overkill.

James in the DR? lol, he was second most stilted reading his script after Jackie. They probably told him when to do his next hide and seek operation so the cameras could all get ready as well. He lacked any real personality. Others were fun in there and had much more character. It shows you something that he allied with boring people like Meg, Jason, Jackie. Not exactly the liveliest lot in the house. James did not do much relevant gameplay for most of his time except keep in his little group.

You must of not watched the feeds as James was fun 24/7, he bonded with everyone and was always joking. Johnny Mac on the other hand slept most of the time and when he was awake barely socialized with anyone.
Most of the jury members are surprised that Johnny Mac was even in the top 3 as they called him boring in the house.

I don't even recognize the other description at all. James was lovely John was annoying.
I'm trying to remember... James won 2 HOH's and John won.... no HOH's. Correct?

Its true. James got the AFP edit, John got nothing. Julie and the CBS boss wanted James to win and Julie even trash talked John on a potcast when the voting was still open. In an article before the voting she said that John is miles ahead of James in the voting and that she has doubts James could win.

The voting page was messed up. Some ppl couldn´t vote for days and others could vote endlessly. I doubt that this voting has a fair result. They didn´t even say it was close between them, we have no percentage. Because the voting is free and nobody can control it they can choose who ever they want to announce as the winner.

And yeah, John has personality. All James did was talking about doing pranks for the camera all the time. He and Austin were sulking for 2 days because John had such a loud applause when he was evicted. So ridiculous. So James won 2 hoh, who cares. He won an endurance comp which was designed for a short guy to win. The rest of his time he did nothing besides summer camping with Meg and Austwins. While John had nobody and was the underdog.


He was only trying to entertain in the DR as everyone should. On the feeds he was just genuine. And yeah the twins said he was boring (they HATED him) but he didn´t socialize because he couldn´t stand any of the ppl left after Becky was evicted. I don´t blame him.

And please everyone stop with that he slept all day because they ALL did. I watched the feeds too and John was the first one awake every day until maybe the last 2 weeks.

I don´t know why i even bother. It´s over so who cares.


You also said that Steve has no jury votes and Liz would win so you seem to not read ppl very well. And winning hoh doesn´t mean you played a great game. And yeah John did win 4 POVs, he is this seasons veto king. And he came 2nd in 8 hohs comps.

It's not that big a deal. Some people found John annoying and boring and preferred James which is why he won.

If anything in the beginning John was getting the AFP edit. The cringy things he would say to Julie when she asked them questions during live shows. The guy had no personality whatsoever and relied on being told what to say in the DR and then put on that annoying voice. Things started to get awkward when they stopped providing him material and he was all "I don't have anything funny to say, just vote for me....he he he he"
