I felt like a total and utter geek last night. Moreso than usual.
The closer it got to the revelation of who won Big Brother 10, the more nervous I got. I have no idea why. I don’t know any of these people. I had no financial stake in the game. I just really wanted Dan to win, which he did in the first-ever unanimous vote in U.S. Big Brother history.
Part of me thinks I got worked up because, if I ever played the game, I would want things to work out like the did for Dan. I would want to scheme and have fun at the same time. I would want people to still like me even though I kept winning competitions. I would want all the trash talkto roll off my back as everyone else showed they couldn’t control their emotions.
A friend of mine said it earlier this week – Dan may have cemented himself as the best Big Brother contestant ever. The fact that April even voted for him kind of opens up that discussion if you are into overanalyzing reality shows.
I only do this for Big Brother. Something about the sheer regularity of the setting makes it interesting to me. I don’t care abot people stuck in a remote area or traveling across the world, but I can’t get enough of the way sitting around doing bothing can mess with your head.
Except for Dan. hemade sure to use that boredom and tedium to his advantage somehow. He definitely showed people a new way to win the game. How can you not love his post-win interview with Entertainment Weekly also?
I don’t envy the cast of BB11 having to top this season.
