I'm trying to figure out my rankings and thoughts, so I think this is what I got so far: 1. Kayla - When I find my #1, I stick with them through and through. I loved Kayla and she deserved better. 2. Bayleigh - Her journey on this show was such a fascinating watch. She started off as a hot-headed target, then turned into an underdog and turned into a dominant force to win it all - it was all a wild ride and so fun to watch! 3. Victoria "Spicy Vee" - She is entertainment and reality TV gold for sure. But she was just too frustrating with her gameplay at times for me to place her in the Top 2. She is a star that gave us a lot, no matter what. 4. Todd - He's fun and lolzy. He's probably the houseguest that grew the most on me. I enjoyed watching as a player with no game experience and growing in that aspect. I also loved his friendship with Bayleigh. 5. Donna - She was fun and feisty. I liked her game motives and her intentions. It's a shame we couldn't see more of that. 6. Dinis - He would have made the game SO different had he had power. He deserved better. 7. Avery - Ugh those two messy HoHs. But her second HoH really turned me against her. I liked her outside of that when she didn't have power, at least. 8. Lexus - Go girl give us nothing. She's alright, she's fine but I just wanted more from her. Well done to her getting as far as she did. 9. Elijah - OK I think he kinda gets a bit of a bad rep on here? His gameplay when he had power and his game motives weren't it. But I found him kinda funny in an awkward way. And he did make me laugh. 10. Matthew - He was okay/fine/just there. He did seem nice enough and inoffensive. I didn't dislike him but also wanted more from him. 11. Janine - I liked her and would have liked to have seen more from her. But I also wasn't too heartbroken when she left. 12. Tola - I feel.... mixed on Tola? He has a strong/good backstory and overall doesn't seem like a bad guy. But he just was against my favorites and I was terrified with how long he lasted in the game. But at least his HoH only took out Avery rather than a bigger favorite. He did win me over a bit at jury and voting for Bayleigh. 13. Anthony - Wow there's A LOT to say about his gameplay but I don't have the energy to get into all of that. I will say his manipulation and running the game was impressive and he did well for the most part. I didn't like or care for a lot of his tactics - like the false lies on Kayla and the Victoria blindside, but I get what he needed to do to get to the Final 2. But those were the biggest low lights for me. His Final 2 blunder was kind of a poetic ending for his game. I don't really know where I stand with him but he certainly was a big character. 14. Vivek - He's alright. But mannnn his HoH was a hot mess and that karma really bit him hard. It was embarrassing how easily controlled he was and turned on his closest ally.

Shannel, Roxxy, Angeria and Jorgeous were all on Sherri today. They had a really fun and good interview on there + as well as a fun drag dance off!

Agreed. Though I am sad to see Maryiah go earlier this week. She was a standout for me.

Ooh yayy I almost picked this but didn't have room for it. I wouldn't have objected to that.

I did enjoy Ronda on Stars on Mars for the most part. Ah yeah Derek's write-up does say it all about her. I feel like a decade ago, she was one of the biggest and most popular/talked about athletes out there and then she just faded away fast out of nowhere. I can't remember how well she did on the show prior to wanting to quit and eventually quitting. That seem like a 3-episode storyline for her until it eventually happened. At least her reason was fair and understandable. Carli did okay on Special Forces. I found Hannah more impressive as she was much more out of her element but also Carli didn't do that well for most of the season. But she persevered through all of the hard times and managed to do well enough the final episode to pull off the win. Props to her for that.

It really does. I wasn't sure if she would do so but I'm proud of her for that! It does. Although I did expect Tola to vote for Bayleigh as he did seem pro-Bayleigh on the most recent jury video footage. Wow, really? I thought Anthony surely would have won over Lexus. But yikes that he would have lost to Lexus. Same.

I was surprised he brought his personal life stuff into his speech. But I'm guessing he knew he was losing and had to throw in one last hail mary on his side - which didn't work. Oh wow I forgot he had 0 votes to win last time. Wow.... well, at least he got a vote this time? Ahh yeah I really loved that analogy. She slayed that! You did.

Okay got around to watching the finale. Posting my thoughts now: - LOL woww watching this opening recap for the finale was insane! Seeing the newbies saying they would all stick together and take out the vets. Then seeing the Anthony & Victoria's final 2 deal when they entered the house.... and we saw how that all fell apart. - Lol okay even seeing this heated Anthony & Bayleigh argument early in the game and then seeing how close they got as an "alliance" is still so odd to me. - lol I also can't believe how Lexus made it to the Final 3. Like I get it but.... it also feels so random to me? lmao. - LOL the narrator making it such a big dramatic moment of Anthony touching the block after 132 days of gameplay. - I knew this season recap would be long but DANGG did it really need to be nearly 12 minutes long? My gosh. But they did a great job covering all of the high (and low) lights of the game. - Oooh the first HoH game is Inside Out 2 inspired. - OMG Anthony almost completely the orange orbs but lmao thankfully that green one went in it. - Ughh nooo, the same thing happened to Bayleigh, ughh. - Dangg Lexus is doing terribly in this. - I like that Lexus wants to be the first black woman to win BBCAN. I would normally and usually be here for that but not this season (especially since Victoria can't take that title), but hopefully next season. - Ugh Anthony is slaying. Catch up please, Bayleigh! Ugh Anthony got 32 to her 18.... not enough time for her to catch up, sadly. - Ugh Anthony won that first part, which was expecting. Dang. But he slayed it. Bayleigh to win Part 2, please! Really hoping she can stay calm and cool under pressure, which ugh Lexus is so good with that. - Wow Bayleigh looks like she is slaying this Part 2 HoH comp! Please let this be her comp. Ughh that last question tripped her up a bit but she looked like she did a great job. - Come on Lexus, please lose. You're likely going to the Final 2 with Anthony or Bayleigh anyway. OMG LOL Lexus is going so slow motion in this. What gives? Not that I don't mind it lol. Just hope her slowness works against her. But she is really giving us "go girl, give us nothing." I just hope this edit wasn't meant to fake us. - OMG YESSS Bayleigh won the 2nd part of the HoH comp in 10 minutes!!! Yesss, so proud of her staying cool, calm and not being under pressure there! Now she's got a true shot. Just need to win that part 3! - lmaoo Bayleigh's reactions in this HoH is hilarious. - OMGG this Part 3 ending in a tie. Ughh so scared. - Ughhh dangg it, Bayleigh messed up and went over on that tiebreaker. UGHH SHE WAS DOING SOOO GOOD. Ugh ugh ughh. And ughhh of course Anthony wins that final HoH.... ugh ugh ugh. - OMGGG Anthony's emotional speech. And whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaa..... I DID NOT seeeee this coming!!! Anthony voted to evict Lexus??? He really thought Lexus had a better shot of beating him?? OMGG I AM SOOO SHOOK by this!!! Like wow wow wowww. I am stunned. I am shocked! But yayy Anthony got yet another mad jury member at him. - Aww I do lowkey feel bad for Lexus. Omgg she was savage with that "money over loyalty" line. She did leave in a classy way. But also shame on Lexus for not evicting Anthony when she had the chance to do so at Final 4. She could have got him then! - But woww I am stunned. I NEVER would have imagined Anthony to take Bayleigh to the Final 2 with him! He is in for a whirlwind of shock. He is in for a rude awakening as I imagine he's gonna lose badly to Bayleigh. I can't wait to see this now! - Ahh it was nice and fun seeing the pre-jury back on the show and wow they get interviewed early on. Aww loving Donna's happiness and being so proud for Bayleigh making it this far. Matthew had some nice and sweet words for Lexus. - Aww booo that Arisa didn't make the jury guess who was evicted. Ugh I wanted to see who they would have guessed. - Both Bayleigh & Anthony did well with answering their questions from the jury. - lmaoo Anthony shaking his head at Bayleigh when she was answeing Tola's question. But wow she SLAYED his question when she made those chess references. Wow I think she cemented her title with that answer (though she already did when Anthony evicted Lexus over her). - Hmm Anthony thinking Bayleigh was the most beatable of that Final 4. I think not but lmao I am living for this big game mistake he made. - Wow Bayleigh really killed it with her final plea to win the game! She is honestly once again cementing herself to win this show. I really hope she can win this! LMAOO her reaction when Arisa told her that was enough time.... - Anthony made a good plea for himself and I like that he owned up to betraying people, but I am not as moved or motivated to vote for him like I would be for Bayleigh. - Okay if that intro hadn't been so dang long... we could have had some more fun fesitivies with the houseguests. But nope. - Oooh lmaooo woww at Todd winning Canada's Favorite Player. I am NOT surprised about that. He's a fun lolzy player/person and was fun to see learn and have fun in the game. I can get why Canada loved him! - Ahhh final results time.... I'm scared and nervicted! - Alright not surprised with Elijah voting for Anthony. - Yayy Kayla voting for Bayleigh! - Yayy Avery voting for Bayleigh! - LOL i loved Bayleigh's shocked reaction of Tola voting for her. But yayy Tola for that! - Yayy Victoria voting for Bayleigh! - And yayyy Bayleigh has officially won BBCAN!!! Wowww I am soooo proud and happy for her pulling out and off that win! Whoever would have imagined or saw this coming at Week 2/3 of this game when she was a prime target to go... and even on Week 4 when Elijah wanted and FAILED to get her out. And lmaoo now Elijah failed once again in not voting for her to win. Yayy soo proud and happy for Bayleigh. - Ooh yayy Todd & Lexus voting for Bayleigh. I knew Todd would vote for Bayleigh, of course. Didn't know with Lexus but with how Anthony betrayed her last minute, I totally get that. Very proud of Lexus' with that vote! Wow this has been an insane really rollercoaster of a season.

Fair ranking for "Almost There." Also seem like it got a lot of respectable middling ranks from us - none in the Top 4 or Bottom 6 spots.

Oooh gosh Blake Moynes. Was Not a fan of his and yeahh he was quite A LOT, as far as it goes on the Bachelor Nation franchise. Fine with him being the first cut from the Bachelor shows. Steven captured his 3-season journey quite well there. Regarding his original season, that was such a tricky situation. Claire was the original Bachelorette, but she made/broke history in selecting her guy Dale - on like Week 3/4 or something? So that left the producers scrambling and then Tayshia became the Bachelorette for the rest of the season. So that explains the different week elimination kind of thing. Though I don't think he was outright eliminated on Claire's season but it just ended there lol. And LMAOO the Kylee running to Blake of telling him not to quit comments. hahaha I totally get the context of that being really weird. I didn't really get that either. They were just good friends (as she was really into Aven). And yeah Blake's relationship with Jess was.... pretty non-existent and kinda awkward to watch, lol.

I was thinking it was a recap show and a semi-finals show. Or at least it better be. We don't need a two hour recap show. Ooh lol yeah he did. That was funny. I was wondering when one of the judges would make a guess for Nicole. Lol I know you will. Mhmmm that's very true. LOL hahahaha. I kinda want you to but kinda don't? Cause I do like to be surprised in finding out. Oooh lol at these small text here. Zac would make for an interesting guess. Though LOL if it was him considering who one of the other contestants might be. Ahhh hahaha I see and understand. It doesn't really bother me but I get it.

I watched the show late last night but forgot to post my thoughts in here. Hmmm Clock having a son that works for her on tour? Ugh she said a lot and seemed to have a lot of helpful clues but I still have no clue who to guess for her. Oooh "Get On Your Feet" is a fun and unexpected song choice from her. Oooh awww wow at how emotional she got while talking to and listening to her son on the phone. And oh wow she sang for the Pope. - Gumball singing "I'm Yours" was an interesting and cute performance. Oooh Robin's James van der Beek guess wasn't bad. And ooh wait, I fffeeelll like I finally got an idea who Gumball could be. I am also not hating Ken's Taran Killam guess. - Poodle Moth singing "Price Tag" was a really fun, cool and funky performance. Hmmm not sure if I get the Sheryl Crow or Riley Koeugh guesses but hmmm. I don't get Mandy Moore but Chrissy Metz isn't a terrible guess. - Goldfish's performance of "Unforgettable" was reallly stunning and beautiful. There's no doubt that she's sailing through to next week. LMAOO Ken guessing Nicole Scherzinger for Goldfish. hahahaha I always wondered who would make a Nicole guess and who. Oooh interesting that Jenny said Julianne Hough for her. - Oooh Poodle Mooth vs. Gumball for the Bottom 2 Showdown Smack down. Idon't really have any issue with that. Oooh wow, "If I Could Turn Back Time" is a really interesting song choice. Poodle Mooth's version stuck more to the original version while Gumball's had a pop/rock influence to it. Both versions were good. - Oooh okay, so Poodle Moth the one eliminated and I am fine with that. Hmm I still don't get Robin's Shania Twain guess. Melissa McCarthy, interesting and not a bad guess but I don't get it. I like Jenny's Chrissy Metz guess. Hmmm Faith Hill from Rita Ora? Wow never thought of that but don't think I hear Faith's voice in her. *looks and sees* OMGGGG Jenny got it right. It was Chrissy Metz! Wow how fun and exciting to see Chrissy there. And aww yayy for Jenny guessing right. I never had Chrissy as a guess, but she was fun to see and she delivered a lot of really good performances. Well done to Chrissy/Poodle Moth making it to 4th. But LOL it would have been hilarious if Ken was right with the Melissa McCarthy guess, Jenny saying that's not her and it ended up being her.
