2/13 CBB2 FINALE Discussion

I'm so happy for Tom.

And it makes me sick to see Tamar be so fake-gracious to him winning that. And now she's probably going to fake-apologize for any hurtful things she said or did, because of course she can say that now since she won. If she'd lost, she wouldn't have been sorry at all, I'm sure - it would have been Tom's fault or something! But with the money in her hand, she'll talk all about kindness and forgiveness and blah blah blah.

Being obnoxious, mean, and overreactive was rewarded, and that's so disappointing. But, there are lots of shows on TV that reward bad behavior, so I shouldn't be surprised.

Sooooo glad I didn’t watch tonight! Just was checking in here periodically. Tamar won unanimously???? How in the world???? Sure, reward her for her nasty behavior

I can’t believe Tom, Kato, or Joey would ever vote for her. Surprised Ryan would either. I figured all the women would vote for her, but none of the guys (except Jonathan- I wasn’t sure which way his vote would fall). Boy, was I way off base!

So glad I didn’t watch. I don’t think I could stomach watching her win. It’s bad enough just reading about it. 🤮

OMG, her head would swell so big it would not fit into the Coliseum. Ugh

I tuned for the last 10 minutes and I kind of wished I hadn't, the reason I stopped watching was Tamar, and she wins .Ugh
OTOH is was good to see Tom win AFP, my votes counted.

Crappy winner for a crappy season..lol

Thanks so much Juls!!!!!! Videos are fun to watch!


Everyone, I finally managed to reconcile my disappointment over Tamar winning in this way: Jury did not vote for Tamar to win, they voted for Ricky to NOT win. I think the fact that he did not take Lolo to the end, when he had been in such a tight threesome with Lolo and Natalie throughout the game, may have offended a few members of the jury enough for them to not want him to win. He certainly shocked me and the audience.

So, to me Tamar won by default, so that Ricky would NOT win. That's my take and I'm sticking to it.


You know, I never considered that final 2 deal with Tamar to be real. I thought it was just gameplay, but, now from watching that last video with Ricky, I guess he was sincere in being true to his final alliance. So, good move Ricky.

I can’t believe Tamar freakin won no more Celeb BB for me unless they get half decent cast.

I think that the tipping point for Tamar was that at certain points when she either needed to win or she was going home, she won. Ricky played a very laid back and low key game. So I think there was a perception that Ricky floated around and Tamar worked for it, and the other houseguests put playing the game ahead of being a good roommate.

But that's always been part of the game, hasn't it?  Whether people just blatantly say "I won't even try, I'm scared" or they work to throw it without being so obvious, there have always been times that people chose not to win a competition that didn't benefit them in the game. 
Knowing Tamar's personality outside the house, I don't think a lot of what she did was strategic. However, there are a lot of well established game tactics that she used to her advantage.  Quite a few people have used the tactic of being obnoxious so that each HOH figures that the next HOH will surely evict the obnoxious one so they can evict a different target. It works quite well. Quite a few people have strategically chosen which competitions to win and which to lose.  This season, the people who were viewed as able to win competitions were seen as people who needed to be tosses early, so that worked to her advantage too. Compare that to Lolo who win the third to last HOH and then was devestated to realize what a disadvantage she had in not being able to compete for the second to last one. 
Again, I don't put a great deal of faith in Tamar to be certain that she did all of that on purpose. But a lot of the things that are being identified as reasons she should not have won have been very useful tactics to win by people in the past.

I couldn't blame her on that one though, I'm the biggest fraidy cat I would have done the same thing 

Thanks for the reporting. I was able to delete without watching instead of wasting two hours of my life to watch insufferable Tamar win.

Same here
