Big Brother 18: What Would You Want To Hear In A Final Two Speech?

by Lisa Marie Bowman on September 18, 2016

Hi, everyone!

Well, there’s not much to really report about the house. As Margie mentioned in the comments under the previous post, the final three did spend some time talking about the previous houseguests and all the strategizing and scheming that went on this season. From what I heard, Paul is very confident in every decision that he made. Nicole seems to be continually trying to convince herself that she was a stronger player than she actually was. And James — well, James still seems to be worrying about winning AFP.

Here’s the thing: the main reason that James won AFP last season was because 1) he frequently talked about how he needed the money for his daughter, 2) he was platonically loyal to Meg, and 3) he seemed like a nice guy (especially when compared to Austin, the twins, and Vanessa). James seems to think that he won because he pulled a lot of pranks and made a lot of jokes. Even at this late date, he seems to think that his fans will get mad at him if they seem him strategizing or actually playing the game.

Right now, Paul and Nicole are practicing their final two speeches. James is not. James is hanging out in the kitchen.

As for the speeches … well, I’m biased. At this point, I am firmly Team Paul. Yes, there’s a lot of things about Paul that annoy me. I probably wouldn’t ever want to hang out with him. But, as far as this game is concerned, I think Paul deserves to win. I think he’s played the best game.

And that’s the case that Paul is making in his final two speech. His strategy appears to be to emphasize that he did what he had to do in order to survive. He’s going to point out that he had a target on his back from the start but he managed to survive, both through winning challenges and making good alliances. In my opinion, he’s on the right track as far as his speech is concerned.

As for Nicole, she’s planning on emphasizing that she played strategically and not emotionally. I don’t know if Nicole can really pull that off. Her strategy mostly seemed to be go after whoever annoyed her on a week-to-week basis. Nicole seems to know that a lot of people on the jury dislike her. Speaking for myself, as I’ve listened to Paul and Nicole practice, I’ve been kind of shocked to discover just how inarticulate Nicole really is. Paul may be loud but at least he knows more than just 25 words.

So, here’s my question. Let’s say you were on the jury. Let’s say that you had pick which of these HGs would get half a million dollars. What do you want to hear in the final speech? What would be the deciding factor in your vote?

Would you vote for the player who played the best game or would you vote for the player who you felt most needed the money? Would you vote for the most likable player or would you maybe consider voting for someone who you personally couldn’t stand? Would you vote for the most loyal player or would you vote for the player who did what he or she had to do in order to win?

In short, if you were on the jury, on what would you base your decision?

Jeanne September 18, 2016 at 11:02 pm

How you played the game. I think Paul played the best game of the players that are left.

Justaguy (JT) September 18, 2016 at 11:13 pm

I’d vote for who played the best game. I’d want to hear the strategy used for evictions. If the person “back stabbed” someone.. including me.. I’d want to hear how it helped their game. And if they had good answers.. that’s good enough for me.

But the problem is we aren’t voting. Juries are often bitter. And they vote for a winner based on friendship…. or the “lesser of two evils”

That is why I still think Nicole has a good shot. Paul should win.. yes. But I really can’t see him getting votes from Nat, Meech, & Bridgette. Nat & Meech said they would vote for Nic over Paul.

So unless some people change their mind after a good jury chat and round table with Dr Will.. I don’t think Paul can win.

If they let personal hatred of Paul and things he has said go… and look at gameplay & strategy…. then Paul could win. It could happen… but seeing this dysfunctional jury, I wont hold my breath.

Star September 19, 2016 at 5:24 am

JT….I read an article from Dr Will saying that ,out of the 4 years he had been hosting the round table, this was the best jury he had worked with. SO that tells me that they were logical, strategic and had cool heads. Plus, I think or know actually, that Meech hated Nic. And who is more emotional then Big Meech the cry Baby??? And the last thing Nat told James was not to work with and not to trust Nicorey. Plus she was jealous of Nic . She wanted Corey and Nic got him. Then she had Vic for about 2 minutes, and but he always flirted with Nic. So I don’t see them voting for her at all!!!
But if Will said they were a good group, maybe they got talked into voting with their heads. If they did, then Paul might win.
He would be my vote. I’d like a girl to win but I have always said the person who played the best game should win. Not who needed the money or who I like.
So if the F2 is Paul and Nic, I think Paul deserves the win.

hpr56 September 19, 2016 at 10:52 am: I agree that if they think with their heads, it will be Paul.

In the speech, I would like the same things that JT said. I would want to know exactly what they did or didn’t do that was honestly strategic. Not that “floating” was their game play. I would like to know who they actually felt was the better player that is now on the jury.

MW September 18, 2016 at 11:49 pm

I agree w JT, the only thing I would add is that the speech has to feel genuine. People can feel when you are lying and insincere. Sounds like Pauls speech is coming from the heart…a genuine strategy that will resonate w the jury. I don’t like Paul and there is no way in hell I’d wanna hang out w him either, but the boy has played his ass off and if I were in the jury he’d get my vote.

sherry September 18, 2016 at 11:53 pm

It’s hard to put myself in the jury as I don’t think I would have
lasted with this group a full week before self-evicting. I would
like to think I would vote for the one who played the best game,
but I don’t know for sure I would. Emotions are such a big
part of living in the BB house in total isolation. Every unkind word
or action is enlarged to monumental proportions in the hgs minds.
Every irritating habit a canker sore that only gets bigger with time. The game is intended to bring out the very worst in you and every-
one else in the house. And it does.
The ones who went into the jury house the earliest have had the most time to balance out their feelings and enjoy the jury house. The newer ones still have fresh wounds. And noneof the younger ones really understand BB game play anyway.
Paulie went in thinking he was totally prepared by Derrick and his brother to handle anything BB threw at him. He played hard, but foolishly. His baser nature took over and hurt his game.
Da is playing for the second time and still couldn’t control her temper or her mouth…foolish game play.
Zak played with her heart and let her feelings of inferiority take over her decision making.
Nat fell down the rabbit hole and doesn’t know reality from fantasy. She looked in the mirror and said, “Yes, I am the fairest in the land and deserve the attention of every male in the house.” I feel sorry for her as she will still believe this most likely when she is in the real world again.
Vic still doesn’t understand why loyalty is something you can’t
depend upon as being real in BB.
Meech is an emotional time bomb, but can be easily persuaded
by others.
Corey will enjoy the jury house and vote for Nic.
Brid may vote girl power, but will probably end up voting for Paul.
James I believe will be the next juror and could go either way,
but probably will stay true to Nic unless Nat talks him out of it.
So who am I to say how I would vote. As irritating as I found this
year’s group of hgs, I have to tip my hat to them for enduring some-
thing I don’t think I could have managed.

Very good post!

Jolee September 18, 2016 at 11:56 pm

I am so torn about who I want to win! I can only base my decision on what I have seen and heard on BBAD, because the televised shows are so edited in the way Production wants to emphasize. The few times I have been able to watch BBAD, I have been so turned off by Paul’s foul mouth. I am not used to this language, It was not the kind of language I was brought up with, so I hesitate to vote for someone who is so disrespectful of others by using every other word “f” this and lately he has even added “mother f.” This to me is the bottom of the barrel of filth.
As all of you know, I am an 83 year old Christian lady who happens to love this blog enough to be here with all of you. I count you as friends, and respect all of your opinions. So, I guess I will just say, “May the best person win!!” 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Sandraftsm September 19, 2016 at 8:29 am: Jolee I so agree about Paul’s filthy mouth. I’m not going to say I’m perfect and never cuss, but Paul takes the F@@k word and makes it an every word conversation. I have found him funny at times like when he was the security guard. He gave it his all. I don’t see him playing the game any better than Nicole though. Both were the brains behind a couple. Nicole told Corey every move he should make in the game. Same as Pauli but she did her moves and back stabs quietly and through Corey for the most part. As much as Nicole gets on my last nerve and did so many embarrassing things with Corey on national tv, I’d vote for her to win out of the three. I know a lot of people disagree with me with James in F2 but he does need the money for his child and Nicole would beat him in F2 I think. I don’t think she’ll beat Paul. Although I think that Michelle, Corey, Bridgette and I would add Day to that group of people I think would vote for her. Day is giving her mad props but I guess we’ll see Wednesday. I haven’t been watching BBAD since Corey left. It’s so boring.

Joan September 19, 2016 at 12:00 am

I would not vote for the person I dislike the most which is Paul. I guess I don’t understand the strategies used throughout the game so I can’t base it on that. I would vote for either James or Nichole. Enney Meeny Minny Mo …..

Jolee September 19, 2016 at 12:03 am

Joan, how about “scissors, paper, rock?” 😊😊😊😊

Joan September 19, 2016 at 12:08 am: Jolee, I am kinda dumb where rock paper scissors is concerned. Never used that method of choosing something. Lol. Just want to add that I too am elderly – 76 yrs old – and hate Pauls language also. I used my mute button a lot when he was talking.

Joan, I agree, I would not be able to vote for Paul, he talked way too much bs!!! But crazy enough I believe that’s why he’s still there, so it did work for him. I could not vote for Nicole because quite honestly she did not start playing the game until the last inning. Now, I do believe she took Cory as far as he could go!! My vote would be for James. I’m not gonna lie though, I was a bit disappointed he fell so hard for Natalie but he did make some of his own moves. To me, he wasn’t malicious and didn’t disrespect. And I just like him as a person over all! I believe he is deserving and will do great things with his winnings!!

Astra Kelly September 19, 2016 at 12:02 am

I agree JT and MW with all that you said. I would hope, if I was on the jury, that I would vote for best gameplay. Using strict logic..but since I am human and a woman..I’m sure emotion would come into play. That being said, if I really felt abused by a player..or I got extremely attached to another player..that would come into play making my decision. Just telling the truth..my emotion could sway me.

Star September 19, 2016 at 6:07 am: Astra……I guess, after reading this and thinking about it, I would have to admit that I would probably WANT to vote on who played the best game but emotions would come into play.
If someone had really thrown me under the bus or hurt me personally, I’m sure I wouldn’t want them to get the money.
But since I HAVEN’T been in that house, I feel like I would vote game play. Hard to know unless you’ve gone thru it.

I agree – let the best player win. I harken back again to Rachel. I don’t think anyone in the jury liked her, but they were in agreement that she played the best game. But the best player may not win this season. Except for Da those girls don’t have an original thought. Meech saying Nic is a snake will probably cause them to cast their vote to Paul. I don’t think the girls much listen to what Da says and she is the only voice of reason in the jury. Paulie will vote for Paul and Z will follow him here, there and everywhere.

Janna, Jenna, Jolee, Jeanne, JT…lots of J-named favorite people of mine. Then there are the Ms and Ss. No letter of the alphabet is left unsung. (I don’t even know what I meant by that, Just came out that way.) : )

Star September 19, 2016 at 5:59 am: two……don’t forget Evel Dick. He used and abused everyone in the house…and he won!!! And actually, Dan wasn’t well liked at first either. He was part of the group that sat out side smoking and doing the puppets shows about the other HGS. Then he tricked everyone into thinking he was a terrible player before he poured it on and won every comp! He still won.

An example of someone sweet that everyone liked that had NO business winning was Jordan.

So some seasons are emotional and some just don’t make any sense a t all!! LOL That’s why we love the game and keep coming back!!! 😉

I completely agree with JT. It is not about who needs the money! If they need money go get a damn job! I think it should be who played the best game. With this jury I’m not sure how it will go because there a lot of bitter Betties.

MargieP September 19, 2016 at 12:30 am

Nicole is drunk and really should shut her mouth right now talking to Paul”

sherry September 19, 2016 at 12:50 am

I don’t think it takes much for Nic to get drunk. I think there
was one time earlier in the season when she got tipsy and
talked too much then, too. (If I remember correctly.) Memory
not what it used to be. I’m just happy if I wake up in the
morning and know who I am.

i actually don’t think paul played the game best. just because he’s still there makes him no different than nic or james. they’re still there. so paul played the game different.
he was loud, bossy, always trying to be HOH when he wasn’t. i don’t like him.
out of the three i’d vote for nic.

Rod thrive September 19, 2016 at 2:27 am

I think that Paul has played the best game how ever I would like to see Nicole win and take James.

Jolee September 19, 2016 at 2:30 am

Watched a little of BBAD ……. Gave up when they all got drunk 😝😝😝

Rod thrive September 19, 2016 at 2:31 am

Paul has stated several times that he really doesn’t care about anybody that was in the house so why should we care about him.

Rod thrive September 19, 2016 at 2:44 am

Paul really has The Gift of Gab which is kind of a good thing when you’re on a reality show 24 hours a day he seems to really like to talk.

Randall Shelton September 19, 2016 at 6:25 am

Hello Veteran Lisa Marie Followers, especially those twin sisters Jeanne and Jolee. I’ve read every blog this year and watched most of the BBAD episodes that I could stand that didn’t bore me to sleep and if it weren’t for Paul in this seasons cast it would have been even more boring, BUT that alone isn’t winning my vote and I try not to let each players background financial positions sway my decisions. I don’t care for people throwing in that they went riding around 140 miles per hour in their daddy’s Lexus therefore stating they came from $$$$$$. It seems there is no way James has any chance of winning, so who will get the 4 votes to win? I feel Corey, Nat, Meech, Da, and James would vote for Nicole if James fails to make the final 2. If James vs. Paul, I believe Corey(Tex connection), Nicole, Da, Meech ( can’t stand Paul) and maybe even Bridget votes for James. 5-2 or 4-3. Now if it’s Nicole vs. James in f2 I think Nicole would get Corey( of course), Da (for sure), Victor, Paulie and his shadow ( Zak)even if they are on the outs.5-2 final tally with Nat and Brig voting for James . I’m not sure winning HOH’s and Vetos will carry as much weight this season. There was way too much inactivity from everyone for my likings. One of the worse seasons ever for entertainment. Again production needs to get contestants involved in something, they hardly even exercised by anyone’s standards. Put some funny games in the house like Speak Out. And I agree with the sisters the language is so unnecessarily filthy for tv. I was even embarrassed for Jeanne and Jolee to be subjected to it, and was disappointed that even Corey fell into unnecessary use of it a lot. Thank You Lisa Marie for your dedication and time spent for us to have fun reading and blogging.

Meli$$a September 19, 2016 at 7:08 am

I’ve said that Paul he played the best game since week 3. I would vote for Paul to win the game. Like I have said multiple times throughout this season, Paul’s social game was on point and he picked the game up quickly. He is definitely someone I would hang out with. He was the life of the house this season. He may be loud, but he has a fun spirit and never once during the season has he done anything to hurt anyone on a personal level. #TeamPaul

Astra Kelly September 19, 2016 at 4:52 pm

Cyndee September 19, 2016 at 7:52 am

Just goes to show you how we all watch the same show and interpret it differently. I agree it was boring most of the time. Most of the HG weren’t particularly strategic. I feel that Nicole and Paul are the most deserving for final 2. But whether you are a floater, strategist, emotional or clueless, if you made it this far kudos. I, personally , would like Nicole to win. She held her own in comps and I heard her more than once strategize possible scenarios. While she doesn’t appear to be articulate I feel that Paul using the f word for every part of speech ( noun,verb, adjective and adverb) does not make him articulate either. Makes me wonder whether he can make a speech without it being bleeped a few times on the live show. The 10 second delay was invented for people like him. He might be intelligent but lazy. At this stage in my life it would be a lot easier for me just use a curse word than wrack my brain for the correct word to use but I choose to appear clueless for 2 seconds or use the wrong word rather than curse. Don’t get me wrong I’m not a prude nor am I perfect but I find that using the f word as often as Paul does makes him appear crude and lazy.

two September 19, 2016 at 2:38 pm

Cyndee. I cast my lot with you and Randall about the f word every few seconds. It gets to be nothing but habit after awhile and any emphasis it was supposed to project is completely lost. I’m no prude either and liked what you said about trying to find the right word. Once while searching my brain a long time for the word I wanted, I paused to tell my companions that I had not fallen asleep. One said, “Well, we did.” : )

I quit watching Deadwood because of the foul language. That didn’t stop it from becoming a hit show, but listening to all that just wasn’t worth it for me!

Oh, wait. Sorry to go on so long about nothing really. It may seem I’ve fallen asleep, but I’m pretty sure you all did. : )

Bobo, where are you, good buddy???? Hope you’re feeling OK.

tendr September 19, 2016 at 11:26 pm: guess i’m a prude then. if i were around someone swearing i would be so turned off…..also it takes a strong person not to pick up bad habits from others. i’m not perfect and actually not even necessary t throw in………..no one is perfect but i try really hard to express myself with real words or just shut up.

I think Paul played the better game.
I don’t have much respect for the shomances that lie in bed almost the entire season while other stronger players are targeted and take one another out. Then after the stronger players are out, we are left with Nicole and James who have coasted their way to 5 weeks prior to the end and then Nicole starts playing? Don’t care for James play or Nic’s.
Paul is the one deserving of the win!

Ran September 19, 2016 at 9:50 am

Oh, and let’s keep personal likes and dislikes about cussing, wierd voices, noses, beards and anything that has nothing to do with game play out of this particular discussion. Lisa asked about game play and who deserves to win……….

Paul had his bro-mances. and flip flopped even on them.
i don’t like his game play.
other’s worked hard and Paul would do the talking. If you want to say who talked the most, complained when put up and felt stabbed when someone else out played him….good game play then i guess he is it. personally Nic has used her brain though it took half way through the game. anyone that is still then in the end just played a different game. sometimes floaters win. Victor out played Paul physically and was easier to listen to or look at…

bbigbob September 19, 2016 at 10:21 am

As much as Nicole annoys me with that screeching, whiney voice of hers I’d vote for her before I’d even think of voting for paul. Even James as a “good guy”, and he couldn’t win a competition if he was the only one but I’d vote for him before paul. As far as I’m concerned, paul is not even there. Therefore, I’d vote for James. He’s a player that fell in love and that’s all he cared about. He seems like a lonely guy and he might have a chance. He needs fifty thousand to keep that woman.

I love this entry of this blog the best out of the whole season. Wow, these comments are some of the best thought out comments. Everyone had on their thinking caps to answer Lisa Marie’s question today.

I personally would love it if we didn’t know the contestants needed the money. I hate knowing they have a sob story. I think it’s all a game and each player should be ranked by how they played. How they get to the end should be the only thing we consider when voting. Some people play with better morals. Some people use strategy. Some people float along. Which traits or skills do we put more value in? Everyone’s answers will be different here but I still believe that traits and skills should come way before need of money or sob story. How hard did they play the game? I would even vote for someone I disliked if they actually played. For these reasons, I would not ever vote James to win. Well except to anger Nicole and Paul. No, not even then. (Although it makes me giggle just thinking about it.) As for Nicole, yes she played the game. However, I didn’t respect the way she played. Too many lies. My vote would be for Paul. Very loud, annoying, brash, bearded Paul. He did have a target on his back since the very first comp where he did nothing but scream at his team mates. He was extremely loyal (until the end, not just when it suited him) to his ride or die bromance. He may have never cared but I think he deserves the $500k.

Though admittedly, I never thought I would even say I wanted Paul for
“anything”, if you are basing it on game play, then he should win. Nicole just annoyed me this season, and should get America’s Whiniest Player. Sorry, Nicole, you didn’t play even half as strategically as Paul. Love you James, but you are not win worthy. I would be shocked if Paul did not win; but hey, it is Big Brother!

Cookie September 19, 2016 at 1:37 pm

I realize everyone is against James. but I like his kindness and decency and I still vote James. the other two used foul language and exhibited bad moral behavior their way thru the game.

MargieP September 19, 2016 at 2:08 pm: Cookie…. I’m just curious… what foul language have you heard Nicole use? I watch the feeds all the time and I have never heard her say anything. Just this morning they are talking in the yard. James and Paul are telling about Natalie calling someone a bitch and Nicole said ‘she said the B word?’

I’m not trying to be mean, just curious. By the way James swears all the time.

I think that the winner should be the person who played the best game and that should be the only thing that matters. But it’s easy for me to say that because I’m not on the jury. I think the winner will probably be determined by how bitter and angry the jury is.

But for me, I think Paul should win because he played the best game.

tendr September 19, 2016 at 11:39 pm: but how do you judge how the game is best played? Dr. Will didn’t win comps and managed to float to the win. he out witted other’s by seeming to be harmless.

FIRST NICOLE PLAY A GOOD GAME AND JAMES WAS FOR HER COREY AND THEY LET PAUL AND VICTOR BRAIN WATCH THEM AGAINST NATLIE AND JAMES.
NOW PAUL TALK TRSAH ABOUT WOMEN’S AND TOLD THE WORLD HE USE THE.F WORD WHILE TALKING TO HIS PARENT’S. HE HANO RESPECT AND THE MOUTH IS BAD.
THE WORD IS WATCHING HIM SPEAK.

two September 19, 2016 at 2:46 pm

Agreed, squeekie. Maybe his parents use those words. Mine wouldn’t allow me. The first time I said ‘hell’, my dad called me to the bedroom for a “talkin’ to”. I was 18.

Away from home, I used all the nasty words to prove how grown up I was. After I actually grew up, I hardly used them again.

Sherry put all players in the right places can’t stand Paul but he did play the game his bragging and language drove me up the wall and Nic ???
James didn’t play at all think F2 will be Pau l and Nic think jurors have
already made up there minds and any speech will be just that a bunch of words reminds me of politicians no matter what is said they will
remember why and who did what to them seems long time till wed
to find out and again Lisa can’t thank you enough for your daily blog
and to all of you love all comments Thanks

Janna September 19, 2016 at 2:20 pm

James does not deserve a sucker, after a Doctor’s appt.

macy September 19, 2016 at 2:27 pm

i think paul should win – he has been fighting this whole game in one way or another. yes, he is annoying – but deserving!

Janna September 19, 2016 at 2:28 pm

James does not deserve a sucker, after a Doctors appt with a needle injection.

tendr September 19, 2016 at 11:42 pm: how about after a colonoscopy?

Funny, Janna!

I don’t remember which season but one of the HG lied about his wife having cancer or some incurable disease as a ploy to gain sympathy and stay in the game. Maybe you can help me out here, JT. Didn’t work for him tho.

As for what I’d like to hear in a final speech:
Nic – Paul should win.
James – Paul should win.
Paul – I should win.
Or each could say Vic should have won.

MargieP September 19, 2016 at 2:54 pm

Two ….. that was Matt Hoffman Season 12

two September 19, 2016 at 10:15 pm: Thanks, MP. How do you and JT remember every houseguest and event for every season??? I can only remember a very few. Unfortunately I can’t add more memory to my brain like I can my computer. I’ve tried. : )

CYNDEE – i think paul says the ‘f’ word like he is saying AND or IT – try going a day without saying those words – its really hard – when i was a teenager we had a drinking beer game that everytime you said the ‘it’ word – you had to drink. funny!

TWO – i stopped watching deadwood for the same reason – im not saying i dont slip the word ‘s***’ every now and then – comes in handy when i stub my toe!

MP – was thinking the same thing when ran tried to tell us what to do! MP for president!!!!!!

macy September 19, 2016 at 6:30 pm

did yall see the big reveal of the fall show to the hg? they arent happy about it. whiny azzez

MargieP September 19, 2016 at 7:03 pm: Macy …. Did you notice that James especially didn’t like it? He wanted his whole year of basking in the afterglow before another cast comes in. lol.

I hope Paul wins Part Three, evicts Nicole and takes James to the Final Two, and win the game in an 8-1 vote with the sole vote for James being Natalie. Paul played a great game. Paul’s potty mouth did not bother me. I think of Evel Dick and his potty mouth and he won.

MargieP September 19, 2016 at 10:46 pm

Two …… I don’t know how in the heck I remembered that!!!! Lol

In a crazy way this kinda reminds me of the Presidential race.

Jeanne September 20, 2016 at 9:25 am

I’m not around people that do a lot of swearing. I can remember growing up we went to a school at Hale elementary and they had a song that said Hale Hale Hale, and we would say H… H… H… my mom and dad would get really mad at us. So when I hear swearing on TV it really surprises me because I don’t hear it in life. I have six children in their 50s and 60s I have 16 grandchildren 30 years old and down I’ve never heard any of them swear. Do I live in Lala land. 😜 😇💕💞💕

Jolee September 20, 2016 at 10:48 am: No sissy, we were raised to be descent and kind. Men were protective toward women. They wouldn’t swear in front of them or tell dirty jokes. We live in a whole new world. But that doesn’t change the way you treat people. IMHO. I love this blog and I wouldn’t change a thing. You are all awesome friends who I am going to miss very much. Now, on to the next blog!! 😊😊😊
