I'm going to miss this season, in that I got very attached with some of the players, not in a way where I hated them and wanted to see them humiliated (which had been the best part of many recent BB seasons), but that I wanted them to do well. Even tonight, during the finale, when the recap talked about MKRD dominating so much of the game, I was happy for them, like it wasn't just people I was watching on a TV show. When I think about how this season WAS going, and easily could have gone, it's pretty damn astonishing. Watching BB is so often about bargaining, you know you won't get what you want, you just settle for the least awful scenario and try to find the best. This season it wasn't like that, it was actually a fun game with rootable players right to the end.

Thanks for all your insights and debates and arguments. I know this wasn't a highwire season like BB6 or BB8, where the fan wars were almost as bad as the battles in the house, but that didn't make the discussion here any less interesting or hilarious.
