Yup, Paul won Part 1. I'm really pulling for a Paul win in the finale at this point. Never ever thought I'd say that considering my love for Nicole and James in their respective seasons.

James was completely overshadowed by Natalie, who in turn was dragged down by James. If she had played on her own, she could have been a really strong, respected player. Thanks to the Jatalie business, she got painted as the bitch who almost ruined James' chance at winning the money for his baby girl!! At least according to their awful edit.

Nicole hitched her wagon to Corey, who thankfully won't have a chance at the 500K. She didn't play a bad game, just much of the same. But no Derrick this time to screw her over.

It's almost miraculous that Paul is still there after all this. He constantly hitched himself to the wrong people (Jozea, Paulie, Victor THREE TIMES!!) and... he is still there. That's amazing.

100% rooting for Paul.

Nicole would be a more deserving winner than James though. He did jack shit all season, at least Nicole actually played the game even though I mostly hated her this season.

Oh for sure. Nicole has a strong case for a victory, and I suspect if she makes it, she could win against Paul or James.

James was a fun addition to the house last year and went at just the right time. But a second straight year and an extended stay have shown he's really not a great game player. The only game decisions he makes, he just screws people over to get ahead. That's all he can do.

Zakiyah, lol. Stupid name.

Mm, yes.

I'm rooting for James. Because he's the only person who's not awful left.

So a woman never beat a man head to head in the F2 for 18 seasons, and the first one to do it is...NICOLE?! The world is a weird place.

Congrats, I guess. lol. I don't think she's completely undeserving (and I would've fully supported her win if she beat James), but...Paul deserved this I thought. I can't believe the vote was 5-4, and that Day voted for Nicole?!

Thank god Victor got America's Fave.

Natalie won America's Favorite. That was rigged.

And WOW at Day voting for Nicole. 2016 keeps staying the year of the female!

The best part of this episode was Dr. Will trying to maintain his composure during the jury discussion when Michelle was crying. It's definitely a play back moment.

Paul really deserved to win but seems like there was an angry jury (Michelle, Natalie).

Closest vote since season 13. Also the first female winner since season 13. Somehow also only the third time a returnee has won (last time was Rachel in season 13).

Up to this season, there were 12 male winners, 5 female winners. Now its up to 6.

Nicole also essentially pulled what Derrick pulled with Cody. Paul must be kicking himself as James seemed like a slam dunk. He wanted to do the honorable route, but it cost him $500 K.

Won't be watching the online version I think of BB. The producers seem a bit clueless to offer the opportunity to get Jozea back in the house as a way to get us excited about the season.

Victor deserved to win AC. James/Natalie probably split their vote.

Jozea, lol. An even stupider name!

Victor was super popular. How was the vote rigged?

Because Natalie won it.

I don't believe it was rigged, I believe the producers changed the narrative once Jatalie fell apart and decided to save their golden boy James with a sympathetic edit and paint Natalie as a bitch. It's unfortunate sometimes the way things are edited but oh well. At least she was top 3.

I'm not as disappointed in the final result. Yes, Nicole was a waste of space when with Corey, but she played a good game, she didn't have it easy always, and she was a target from day one being a vet. I didn't like her nearly as much as last time, but me from two years ago is thrilled that she won. And beating a male in the final vote is pretty great too. I think Paul played an excellent game too, but I'm at least satisfied that Nicole won.

Might as well just change this to "Big Brother: Over the Top" for the 0 people who will watch the online edition.

I thought it was a big joke when they said we would vote on Jason or Jozea to play Over the Top. Yikes. Is that all they could get to play their online experiment?
