'Big Brother': A little closer to the endgame

I have to say, Kevin, Natalie and Jordan seem like a pretty unlikely final three for Big Brother, but here we are.

Too bad for Michele. For a little bit there, I thought her plea that she couldn't possibly win might give her a chance with Kevin. But no.

Since the end of the season continues to be so yawn-worthy, let's take commenter Capt. Jack's suggestion and talk about our faves from past seasons. He wrote:

Favorite Houseguest from which season, and least Favorite from which season. Most memorable memory and least memorable memory from BB.

I'm still thinking on those, but here's my suggested categories ...

Favorite twist: Season 5, Project DNA (Do Not Assume), or at least part of it. Having identical twins switch out for five weeks was genius, though it was too bad that Natalie and Adria ended up being so frustrating once they were in the house together.

Least favorite twist: My least favorite twist is also part of Project DNA. Having half-siblings Nakomis and Cowboy find out about the other's existence and meet on the show was terrible.

Favorite houseguest pastime: Lots of amusing conversation and awkward flirting used to happen in the hot tub, which makes me realize that this season, they've barely been in there.

Least favorite houseguest pastime: (tie) sleeping and playing cards. I watched the live feeds for a couple of seasons, and one of them, they had cards, and the endless shuffling of cards was one of the most irritating sounds ever.

Please share your favorites and least favorites, too, and suggest categories if you want. Best alliance and worst alliance? Best and worst showmance?

This sounds way more fun than anything from this season!

I really hope Natalie does not make it to the Final 2.

Favorite Twist - Coup D-Taut and tossing Jesse on his rump! Eric and America's player makes honorable mention.

Lease Favorite - Evil Dick and the fake estrangement of his daughter Danielle. They were totally together as a team the whole season and it gave them an unfair advantage. I agree about project DNA, that was not an highlight by any means.

I am really disappointed by this year's repeating of the competitions, seams that this year is a repeat of last year as far as the games.

For the most part this group has been so boring, they gave them games earlier than they ever had. Pretty bad, at 9:00 PM all the houseguests are in bed for BBAD and have to get called to the DR to just wake them up.

I think the Fashion Show the other night on BBAD was hilarious and had me on the floor laughing. But, for the most part BBAD has been a dud.

Favorite House Guests:
Dan / Dr. Will / Jeff / Eric / Memphis

Least Favorite House Guests:
Jesse / Natalie (BB11) / Wamber / Evil Dick & Daughter Danielle

I must chirp in (and ditto Capt Jack) in the "Favorite House Guest" category with Dr. Will.

To me, Will has still been the funniest and most fun player to watch -- especially his confessions in the diary room. His (winning) appearance in Season 2 was the greatest. His reappearance for the All-Stars wasn't nearly as comical and fun, but it was still Will, so it was plenty good.

I'll never forget the hysterical bit "BB" put together during Season 2 with a segment called something like "Has Will's hair had more fun on the show than Will has?" It was a hoot.

wow...I had a feeling it was going to be someone I didn't expect to leave.

Best Showmance = Jeff and Jordan, Eric & Jessica

Worst Showmance = Jesse & Lydia. Boogie & Krista, April & Ozzie, Danielle & Nick

Best Alliance = Chill Town / Renegades (Dan & Memphis)

Worst Alliance = Chima, Nat and Lydia, Jessie and Ronnie.
