Hamster updates big brother

He said he put in the work, gave his all in comps even though he lost them, and he pawned himself to protect Cookout. Claire and Tiffany did not get a question. Then the finalists gave their speeches. Derek noted Cookout, said he was a competitor even though he couldn't win anything this season, he loves Xavier, and most of his speech had been covered in the questions. The votes were cast via keys in the old round keybox, with the most notable soundbite from Kyland, who made a comment about "there are kids watching at home" and "there's more important things than money.

That was that: nothing from Frenchie or Whitney. Then came the outing of the secrets: Hannah's really a brainy grad student hoping to become a doctor, SarahB's a forensic chemist, Claire's an AI engineer, Britini's a 4th degree black belt, Derek F is Smokin' Joe's son he said he didn't want to be looked at like Frankie Grande , and Xavier's an attorney.

Reactions ranged from "I knew it" to total shock - the latter being mostly from Xavier about Derek F. Britini then told them she was diagnosed with autism at 22 months but she'd kept that quiet because she wanted to be seen as herself and not as a label or diagnosis, and said she was proud of her journey and of being there, and rightly so. Julie asked Kyland about making his exit personal, and Kyland answered with words words words, and "of course I apologize, but..

Finally it was time for the main events. The confetti flew, the winner and runner-up finally exited the house, and Xavier was able to celebrate with his family via monitors. All three finalist families had appeared onscreen throughout the show.

Julie showed the remaining vote keys which were all for Xavier, giving him a unanimous win. She was overjoyed, and deservedly so! Julie then announced Celebs 3 in February, which we already knew about, and she left us with "love one another," and yet another season was complete and put to bed.

Ratings - All Obits edition Not the best season for pure entertainment value but it definitely had its moments, and The Cookout achieving their historic mission should be celebrated!

And the cast was generally likable and genuine, with some nice alternatives from the longstanding and stale casting formula. I don't know if 89 entries on the Goof Tally is a record but it's definitely a lot, averaging more than one per day!

The edits were usually iffy, often downplaying Tiffany and Hannah, and boosting Derek F and Kyland in particular. But they're making a TV show and they have an army of writers and story editors who need something to do.

I think the actual story is usually just as compelling or more than the fictions they spin, just as the Diary out-takes on the late season clips show are far better than the generic bland ones we get. But again, that's none of my business.

Feeds downtime totaled But I'll take that I hope they continue that new tradition. Most of all, props and thanks to each and every hamster for putting themselves out there for our amusement. He was usually on the sidelines for group games but he did okay when he stepped up, and when he donned Azah's wig to introduce his Lucius character was when he finally seemed to get comfy being part of the social crowd.

Whitney and Azah crushed on him, while he crushed on Alyssa, who hooked up with Christian, making for a messy web of nomance. He played hard to keep his Kings teamies in the game and they did stay intact the longest, with Alyssa the final non-Cookout to go.

He whined about being nominated so many times but he put himself on the block once, and landed there once as a High Roller casualty. The other times he was safe and knew it, so much ado about nothing. He was a peacekeeper and often broke up potential drama which may have been detrimental to his game, but it didn't win him points with Team Fun Feeds. He shifted his Frenchie crush to Kyland, who planted a big kiss on him at the end of one live show.

Before long, his inability to win a comp became a running gag until it became a self-fulfilling disaster. He stayed horizontal most of the time, but participated in group songs and games, he cooked and cleaned a lot and was mostly successful against perennial champs Team Ants , and he fought for bros-before-hos each week, often getting nasty about it.

He never told them his father had been world famous so there was a lot of lost story potential there. Eventually he crashed and burned, becoming depressed and then erratic, and he talked as if he'd single-handedly created Cookout and driven the entire season.

Mind you, he said this to people who lived it and knew otherwise. If he'd continued the training and discipline he learned on his episode of MTV's Made in , it might have helped. She spent a lot of time in her bed, she didn't initiate many gametalks, she didn't plan the moves, and she got snippy a few times when she found out planning had been done without her.

She crushed hard on Xavier and moved in to cuddling position as soon as Whitney vacated that spot, and she stayed there for the duration, but he only had eyes for Alyssa.

She said she loved old school cutthroat BB, but discovered she wasn't capable of cutting throats herself, and she made the last few days of feeds a circus trying to figure out what to do if she won the final HOH.

But then she didn't. Entertainment-wise though, she was a champ: she sang a lot and well, she danced and crashed , she constantly gave superb facial expressions, she did various characters and voices, she told great stories, she baked and cooked, and she often looked like a supermodel had wandered onto our feeds.

But the next day he held one-on-ones again after noms which dragged on and on, and he continued holding overlong meetings most of the season, even when he had no reason to do so. He paused, umm'd, and rambled literally for hours to the point of incoherence and when he ran out of hamsters to babble to, he turned to us. He wore a donkey suit and made club sandwiches for a week, and was one of several who seemed like they felt entitled to win.

Kycomplains was an unexpected season highlight when his many corporate complaint tweets were discovered. He went out blindsided, and was such a poor sport about it Julie had to yell at him to leave the house. She strategized and ran constructive retells almost nonstop, but she did most of that in the background so tv-onlies probably weren't aware of how much she did.

She laughed a lot, especially with Derek X, and she was a good confidante for Tiffany. She finally won an HOH and veto but it was too little too late, and she went out as a double eviction victim. Her goop-filled goggles on the wall comp will be one of the lingering photo moments of the season. She drove the game early on, and she overplayed a few times but she rebounded each time until she won the Flying BB-inos spinny comp.

The Cookout guys decided she had to go for that, even though she'd evicted her own BFF Claire that week rather than one of them. Her social game was superb, she was fun and funny especially her ongoing vendetta against Sarah Beth , as well as being sensitive and caring.

Easily my star of the season. They added a couple tally items, and then she shifted to sticking to Xavier's side til her own exit. She was surely aware of his crush on her but she didn't take advantage of it or even mention it that I'm aware of. Game-wise, her Diaries made her sound like she was on top of everything but her actions in the house didn't come across that way. She went out thinking she was responsible for Claire's eviction but she'll find out how that really unfolded soon enough.

She cozied up with fellow Queen Tiffany early on and they stayed tight to the end. Claire seemed capable of making big moves but didn't make any, possibly because of being under Tiffany's wing but unaware of her Cookout agenda although she did touch on the possibility a couple times , and she even kept Tiffany's noms intact when she won the secret HOH.

She also won safety 'til jury' which gave her a two-week pass. Her friendships with Tiffany and Derek X were fun and easy, with a lot of laughter, but she got along with most everyone, and she had fun with her week of 52 Pickup.

SarahB spent much of her time laying around, usually entwined with Kyland, and she said viewers can 'wipe their butt with the BB bucks. Then he won the following veto as well as an HOH, and he was a legitimate 'comp beast' threat. He was maneuvered into backdooring the other comp threat, Christian, on that HOH, and then SarahB was maneuvered into doing the same to him two weeks later.

Blocker Christmas could block herself or someone else from being renom. To be used at veto meeting after veto is used, before HOH names renom. She has to let Diary know by 10am on that Thursday.
