BB11: The Final Four

Hey y'all, how are you guys feeling? Are you hoarse from screaming at your television sets? Lots of people out there in Big Brother land have probably alternated between screaming and crying. From the reaction I've read, many don't expect to have a good week.

The legions of Jeff/Jordan fans seem to still be in shock from Jeff's elimination. The problem is that they are blaming everyone except Jeff. His bad play caused his eviction. His decision to go with Natalie and Kevin instead of sticking with Russell and Michele had a direct correlation to him going to the jury house. Heck, why should his fans be any different. Jeff, himself, refuses to acknowledge that it had anything to do with it.

Speaking of the Jury House. I enjoyed seeing that. I knew that Jeff and Jessie would be able to put aside game issues and get along. How funny was Jessie outting Natalie? I'd have never expected that. I can only imagine that Lydia told him something about Natalie that turned him against her. Russell definitely did not look impressed by her lie. If she makes it to F2, I wonder how that revelation will impact votes. In my calculations, I had given her Jessie and Russell's votes, but now, I don't know.

Most of the people that I talk to or chat and/or post with can't stand Natalie. It's clear to me that she's not America's Sweetheart. I may not like how she's played the game, but she's played the game. I never would have thought a strategy of lying, stealing, and planning to cheat would get anyone far. But here she is in the Final Four, and with her Head of Household win, here she is in the Final Three. She's not dumb, and she's been drilling for what, in the past, was the final Veto competition and one part of the final HoH competition. She and Kevin made a calendar with paper and playdoh and have plotted all the past competitions by name and dates. Last night she was drilling and seemed to have the information down pat. As long as the final Endurance competion doesn't involve bugs or water, she should do well in it, as well. She has a good shot at F2.

Kevin's the target of both Michele and Jordan this week, so he'll basically have to win the Veto competition to make it to F3. Don't count him out, though, as lately he's done very well. Natalie's been drilling him on names and dates, too, so he could very well pull this off. He may have floated through at the beginning of this season, but lately he's shown that he's a force to be reckoned with.

Michele is in trouble ... still. Once again, she has to win the PoV to stay in the game. I was hoping that she'd win HoH, but she made a really stupid choice on the Lydia/Jeff question. She was complaining that she couldn't really hear the questions, but she should have said something then and there. She's the target of Michele and Kevin, and who knows with Jordan. She does well in competitions, so she may pull it off. She's been using her birth control pill container as a calendar of events, so she may know her stuff.

Jordan is in the best position right now, other than Natalie, to make the Final 3. She is no one's target, and everyone thinks she's weak. She could go to F3 without winning a thing by herself. We saw Jeff give her that Head of Household and she admitted to listening for Michele's steps in the Veto competition that she won.

There you have your Big Brother 11 Final Four. Nominations should be Friday, Veto competition on Saturday maybe, and the live veto meeting and eviction on Tuesday. The final endurance challenge, part 1 of the final HoH, should also begin Tuesday. Thursday we go from 3 to 2. Wow, this thing really is almost over. What do y'all think of the Final Four? Who do you want to win? Comment below.

Update: Approx 9pm BBT - The feeds came back on and it looked like the houseguests had a luxury competition. It looks as if it were some kind of grab competition, as they each have new clothes and seem to be really pleased with them. We should see this as well as the nominations on Sunday night.
