[Big Brother]

Episode 11: "I'll console you with my boobies."

Imogen continued her winning streak, and had just been crowned the final Head of Household. That left her the task of evicting another housemate.

Imogen: With a saddened heart, I vote to evict JJ. Congratulations, Billi!
Bianca: It's official. The last person to be evicted from the BBCurve house is... JJ! JJ, it's now time to say your goodbyes. I'm coming to get you!

JJ was evicted from the Big Brother Curve house on Day 44, leaving Billi and Imogen as the final two. It had been a season of crazy characters, secret alliances, and ridiculous drama, and now, only two housemates remained.

While Billi and Imogen celebrated their victory in the house, JJ arrived at the jury house. The seven most recently evicted housemates: Kaysar, Makosi, Dino, Jessica, Lori, Dan and now JJ, were responsible for crowning either Billi or Imogen as the winner of BBCurve, and they had a lot on their minds.

JJ: I’m here simply because Billi didn’t listen to me. In the Final 4, winning HOH and POV gave me the power, despite discussing it with Billi (and him agreeing or pretending to agree) he didn’t listen and I was foolish enough to give him sole vote, if he was smart and played like a true player he would have evicted Imogen.
Kaysar: JJ, hey buddy. Here's something I should throw into the air. I was trying to get an alliance between you, me, Dan, Lori, and Imogen. However, I couldn't do much to try to get an alliance because I wanted this when Dana was going. I thought that we were good enough that you would've kept me over Billi. But surprise surprise, no one did. Obviously, that was a mistake considering that Billi is in the final 2, and you and everyone else isn't. But woulda coulda shoulda. It doesn't matter at this point because we are now at the finals. And honestly, I think I'm going to vote for Imogen. She DEFINITELY played a better game than Billi, and you all know that. And it would suck that she would have put all this work into the game when Billi didn't do as much. That's my opinion on this whole thing.
JJ: I am shocked to see people are saying that they will vote personal when I would have expected better than that off of most of use but each to their own.
Jessica: I'm not going to vote personally. I don't know though. There are great reasons for voting for both. Imogen has been a consistently amazing player throughout. But I think I have to give a hell of a lot of credit to Billi, seeing as he was MIA so much and everyone hated him, but he still managed to slide by.

JJ also took upon himself the task of apologizing to Dino, who he had betrayed in the house.

JJ: I actually genuinely liked you a lot. I had the best chats with you and we really got to know one another on a personal level. You were also a good player, probably up there as one of the best in the game I think. In the end though, I needed to cut my ties with you because my sole loyalty was with Imogen at the time. And I knew of your friendship/alliance with Jessica, I also knew you were far closer than you and I and I knew there would be no place for me. You did tell me about Billi/Imogen too so well done for being spot on.
Dino: And JJ, I don't know where you heard/found out Jessica and I were close, but we are. But that doesn't mean anything, cuz I was close with you, too. And Jessica can probably even vouch here, but I even basically flat out told Jessica that if you/me/her were in the final 3, I was going to take you (JJ) to the end. That's why I was so shocked you turned on me, cuz you really were my #1 ally.
JJ: Thats reassuring to know, I thought you and Jessica were F2 together. Well what's done is done, don't take it personally that I voted to evict you. Ultimately, this is a game and we are all here to attempt to win, I knew I'd never win against you or Imogen cause you on the service did better than I. So I needed to cut my ties, as I tried to do with Imogen but Billi saved her.
Dino: It's all good. I would have thought Jessica and I had a final 2, too. But we didn't. I had one with Imogen, but I was most loyal to you. xD But Billi took Imogen to the finals? What? If that's true, I think it's a blunder on his part, but I think Imogen deserves it right now -- but I'll hear Billi out. Cuz it is pretty impressive he made it, but I feel like he didn't really WORK for it like Imogen did. I don't know.
JJ: Nah Imogen took Billi. In the Final 4 round, I won HoH and made a plan with Billi to nom him against Dan, try our best to win POV and then take one of them off, leaving Imogen on the block against whoever. I won POV, took Billi off but he still evicted Dan instead of doing what would have been better for his game. But it's done now I suppose.
Dan: For the record, I did throw almost all the competitions.. pretty much every one except for like two or three towards the end so suck on my junk. Second of all fuck ya'll.
Makosi: My vote will be so SHOCKING. I've hated Imogen and Billi since week one so I have NO idea what I will do.
Lori: So JJ are we cool? I really hated the way I acted towards you, Dino and Imogen, but I got caught up in a role, I am totally NOT like that haha, I can see how some people on the real BB are crazy and mean and they say they aren't like that out of the house...
JJ: It's fine, its all water under the bridge. You made the game exciting and nobody can take that away from you. You've apologised so everyone should understand. I honestly did find our exchanges towards the end so funny!
Makosi: If Imogen is willing to admit to me that she's human and sometimes she makes mistakes, she has my vote locked. But if she dances around the whole "IT WAS MY STRATEGY TO DO THAT" blah blah, I may just vote for Billi regardless. Well... maybe.

It was time for the jury questioning. First, Billi and Imogen each had a chance to address the jurors in an opening statement.

Billi: I absolutely refuse to apologize for the way I played this game, if I had handled any situation differently or played any other way than I did, I feel like I wouldn't be sitting here in the end. In all honesty, I think I played a kickass game, I reached every one of the goals I set for myself at the beginning and I just so happen to be sitting next to my final two ally from week one, and that aint too fuckin shabby.
Imogen: Socially, I made sure to keep strong connections with you all as much as I could, which often meant simply chatting to you on off days or listening about your lives, to let you know that I was a friend and could be trusted. In terms of the game, I fostered my strongest alliances with JJ, Billi, Dino, and Lori to make sure I knew what was going on in all parts of the house. Overall, though, I was lucky enough to develop friendships with nearly all of you - and I do hope to continue those after the game is over. Strategically, I always worked to make sure that I was never at risk for elimination - plain and simple. As such, I was only nominated once in the whole game (and not until F4 by JJ, post-veto). Also, I am the only person other than Joshuah to have never received a single vote throughout the entire game. When my challenge whoring went on the fritz at the F4, my social connection with Billi came in super handy when JJ turned on me. Billi's not on the jury, but I want to thank him all the same for keeping me in during that round. I would be sitting where Dan is if it weren't for that. Dan, I'm sorry that you were the collateral damage from that round. Overall, I hope I've shown that I played a strong game. I'll admit it wasn't a perfect game and that I hurt some people along the way, but it was as good as I knew how to play and the best way I knew to get to the F2. I look forward to your questions/comments and thanks again for a great season.

Kaysar, as the first juror to be evicted, stepped up to ask his questions first.

Kaysar: Imogen, you and I talked about how we should be in an alliance with each other, and I listed three other people to be in our alliance: Dan, Lori, and JJ. What I want to know is why you voted to evict me, instead of Billi because I thought you were going to keep me. So that's my question: why did you evict me?
Imogen: Around that time, an alliance of Dino/Jessica/JJ/me had formed and I felt I could trust that alliance most because they were around and social and because they had all actively committed to me and to each other in a way that any potential alliance of you/me/Dan/Lori had not. I worked to feel out the alliance you and I had briefly discussed, but it was frustrating because I felt I wasn't getting any traction. At that point, I decided that I need to stick with the alliances that were more solid. In addition to my alliance with Dino/Jessica/JJ, Lori and I also had the Boob Power alliance with Makosi and Jessica, which was also going somewhat strong, so I think in the end I personally decided to go with the alliances that I was a part of at that time that were around/online and had committed to each other because I felt safer with those. Also, as soon as the final nominees were you versus Billi that round, I felt that my vote had already been decided since I was committed to Billi 100%. I couldn't let him go, so I had to cast my vote for you. Of all the eviction votes, I felt that yours and Jessica's were more votes to keep Billi or JJ in than to eliminate either of you. If they had been any other nominees vs. Billi or JJ, I would almost certainly have voted to keep Billi or JJ over whoever was sitting next to them. So, I wasn't voting you out specifically - I was voting out the person sitting next to Billi that round, who happened to be you.
Kaysar: Billi, I didn't really get to know you at all. However, how did you come back from being so hated to being here in the finale?
Billi: WTF, people hated me? I thought I was loved.

Makosi was next to take the stand.

Makosi: I don't care about how you aligned with x and y to get to the final four. I don't care if you won so many competitions to backdoor z. It's irrelevant to me. I'm voting strictly 100% personal and I will vote with who I like better. It seems easy but... it really isn't. Imogen, you said it was your strategy to make relationships with everyone and keep strong connections. I guess it was a good strategy since it DID get you to the final two... the only problem I have is that I personally felt like you were being disingenuous when having a conversation. It felt FORCED and I always knew that you were speaking to me so I wouldn't nominate you. Maybe we just didn't click like I did with others but I've always been spiteful towards you because of it. I also question your morals. You did say it was a strategy of yours to vote out the threats and those who won the most competitions, understandable, but you being someone who was great at competitions and voting your own kind off, felt hypocritical and self-hating. I have a problem with voting for someone who I felt took everything they knew themselves for and threw it out the window.
Imogen: One reason we may not have fully connected is because I think we were more alike than either of us wanted to admit. That leads me to address the second part of your frustration with me - voting out my "own kind". I see it slightly differently. I felt I had to vote off the people most like me because they were my biggest threats, plain and simple. People like you, Dino, and Lori were too good at competitions and the longer you stayed in, the harder it would be for me to win competitions. And, the strong social players were also threats because I obviously wanted to be one of the main people directing the action of the game for my benefit - the longer strong social players stayed around, the more chance they'd have at influencing things in a way that didn't benefit me. So, I don't see it as hypocritical or immoral at all. Rather, I saw it as kind of a "king/queen of the castle" type game - I wanted to be the best challenge/social player left since it would give me the maximum chance of being in charge. I think that strategy worked, since I was able to maneuver things to keep both Billi and JJ around until the very end and then make the F2.
Makosi: Billi, I hated you Billi. You were boring, you never really spoke anything of interest and didn't try to get to know me. I do think my irrational hatred of you probably did cloud my vision of you and block anyway of you and I ever making a relationship so I won't hold that against you (that much). When reading your answers to the other jurors, I was trying to get to know the REAL you and... I don't know. I'm having a hard time voting for you. When the final two was revealed, I was ready to vote for you to win this game. Out of the final 3, you had my vote locked in. Now I have no idea what I'm gonna do because the you I'm seeing feels a little put on.
Billi: Like I said before, I don't really kiss ass for votes so I don't really know what to say, I knew you hated me and I tried to get rid of you because of it. However I did plan on working with you if somehow you and Lori had stayed in the game the week you both were nominated.
Imogen: Makosi, you said you were voting on a personal basis. So, let's be real. If I'm being brutally honest, I'd like to remind you of a major reason why you hated Billi in the game - he's a racist asshole and unapologetic about it. If you feel OK casting your vote for someone who uses the N word in a carefree fashion, go for it. On the other hand, I feel like you and I have always worked to treat each other with respect throughout the game, both on personal and gameplay levels, even if we didn't connect 100% as friends or players. If you're considering personal interactions in your vote, I don't see how that can't be taken into account.
Billi: The only thing I always wondered about was, did I ever actually call you a n****r, because I honestly don't remember ever actually saying it. Not saying I didn't because that sounds like something I would completely do, I just think it's a little unfair for Imogen to throw that out there if I never actually did it. Vote however you want to, i won't like you any more or less no matter who you vote for.
Imogen: I didn't say you called her that, Billi, just that you had no problem using the word so casually throughout the game - like you just did again.
Billi: I was quoting Tracey Morgan and he happens to be black, so I get immunity by association.

The next juror to speak was Dino.

Dino: I have no questions, only statements. Imogen, you played a near flawless game, in my opinion. Billi, you played a great game as well, don't get me wrong. I just feel that Imogen was in power much more than you were. Many of us do not know your perception of the game, and oftentimes the deserving winner has a better perception on the game, therefore all questions are relevant, as long as they have something to do with the game. Yes, our job is to determine which of you played the better game, but you need to show us, PROVE to us, which of you played better, based on your perceptions of everyone, perceptions of gameplays, perception of week-to-week events, perception of power. Your opening statement was also lazy, and in my opinion, you need to work for the title of the winner. So don't get lazy after getting so far. So many of us on the jury would have loved to have the opportunity to fight our asses off to win this game, then here you are just pretending like it's no big deal. I have not made up my mind completely, but I'm sure you both can tell that I have my opinions thus far. I will be reading both of your answers to other jurors questions. I don't find it necessary to add a bunch more questions to your plate when I'm sure you'll be answering plenty more.
Billi: Well I've been a dick the entire game, there's no need to change now, it would just be fake if all of a sudden I turned into a sweet loveable character. If people didn't like me during the game, what's the point in trying to get them to like me during the jury phase.

Next, it was Jessica's turn.

Jessica: Throughout the game, did you ever feel in danger of going home? If so, what did you do to ensure your safety?
Imogen: Yes, I did. In week 2, I thought I'd be targeted because I was HOH in week 1. I ensured my safety by making sure that Kaysar and Billi wouldn't nominate me in weeks 2 and 3. At the F4, when JJ put me up as a post veto nominee, I felt I'm danger. I secured my safety by shaking my luscious boobs at Billi to make sure he kept me.
Billi: I never once felt in danger of going home, I knew no matter what I had Imogen in my back pocket and she told me all about the Dino, Jess, Imogen, JJ alliance, and she said that she had all those votes to do whatever she needed, so the week I was up against Kaysar was more or less a vacation.
Imogen: We had each other in our back pockets, love.

Lori, the self proclaimed girl with the curves, had her chance to question the final two next.

Lori: Imogen, we've had a up and down type of relationship in the house, aligning one week and going after each other the following. Truthfully did you ever give our partnership a real thought to or a real chance?
Imogen: Oh, absolutely. For a while, I thought about going really far in the game with you, but the week of all your outbursts made me question how wise it would be to strongly align myself with someone so volatile and potentially controversial. After the week where we really fought, we actually made up and were bluntly honest with each other from there on out, which I appreciated. I thought again about going far with you after that, but then I realized how amazing it was that you had wormed your way back into my trust after all that craziness. If you could recover from that and worm your way through the round Dino was backdoored, what else could you have squirmed your way through. In fact, I saw you as playing a somewhat similar game to me - get to the end, round by round, by squirming and worming. As long as you're still in it, you could still make it to the end and win it. That's when I realized that you were too dangerous to keep around and I broke the tie to vote you out at the F5. Plus, you were weirdly good at live competitions and, since most of the F4/F3 competitions were going to be live, I couldn't take the chance of you having access to those types of challenges and a way to challenge whore your way to the F2. So, yes, we had our ups and downs, but I definitely gave our partnership and friendship serious thought and multiple chances throughout the game.
Lori: Billi, the week you voted out Jessica you had to know that was detrimental to my game keeping both JJ and Imogen in the game. What was the real reasoning behind getting Jessica out, did you not care about my game at that point?
Billi: My thought behind getting rid of Jessica that week is that my overall strategy in the game was to try to make sure that there wasn't one alliance in the game that got too much power, by keeping Jessica in the game it would have meant that the Lori, Billi, Dan, Jessica alliance would have been the strongest force in the house and would have exposed my alliance with Imogen if I tried in any way/shape or form to try to keep her in the game. I had talked about the idea of Imogen using the veto on JJ, but I was worried that you would have put me up in the replacement spot and neither of us were 100% sure that JJ would vote out Jessica. So to answer your question, obviously I did know that it was detrimental to your game, but keeping Jessica was detrimental to my game and my game was definitely the most important thing to me. I also felt like if we got rid of JJ that round then the number one target would be Imogen and once she was gone Lori would do everything she could to try to bring Dan and Jessica with her to the final three, so that's why I made the move I made.

Dan was next in line, but he chose not to ask any questions. That left only JJ to speak.

JJ: Imogen, you said you felt like I ‘Backstabbed’ you when I attempted to backdoor you, don’t you think that by keeping your alliance with Billi as secret from me that you practically led a trail of dishonesty with me?
Imogen: It's true - I did feel backstabbed, but I should clarify that a bit. Going into the F4, I knew that everyone's best move would probably be to get me out and Billi even told me so. When you put me up as a nominee after you won the veto that round, I did feel backstabbed in that you broke our alliance. But, if you know me well enough, you know that I respect the game and smart, objective gameplay more than anything. As such, I actually thought that what you did was a smart and potentially savvy move...had it not been for Billi, who was my ace in the hole. I've definitely pulled snaked Dino in this game, so when I say I felt backstabbed, it was more a, "damn, he got me!" rather than an overly emotional rage fest where I was hell bent on revenge. In fact, right after Billi evicted Dan at the F4, I told you no hard feelings, that I respected the rationale behind your move, and that I even agreed that it was probably your best move at the time...and I meant everything I said.
JJ: Billi, what were the reasons behind your decision to keep Imogen in the game?
Billi: I weighed all of the options and felt like keeping Imogen was my best bet in getting to the final two, but I did absolutely consider it. Actually when you approached me with the deal, I was never like "Oh shit, I'm gonna do this for sure" but neither was I like "Oh shit, I'm gonna fuck JJ over for sure." The offer was essentially just more options for me to ultimately choose from.

Now that all of the jurors had taken their chance to speak to the final two, it was time to cast their votes for the winner.

~Kaysar Ridha~
MY VOTE IS FOR IMOGEN!

Imogen played a much better game than Billi did while Billi was more dependent on Imogen. Also, Billi seriously half-assed his questions.

~Makosi Musambasi~
IMOGEN.

I'm voting for Imogen because what she said was true. Billi is a racist and a bigot. Plus //female domination\\, I respect Imogen as a strong female. I shouldn't HATE on her because she was a strong female. It's the weak females that deserve my hate.

Dino and Jessica also voted for Imogen, thus giving her the four votes she needed to win. But the other jurors were still required to cast their votes.

~Lori Valenti~
Well let me not beat around the bush...

I VOTE FOR....

SHOCKINGLY.....

IMOGEN TO WIN BIG BROTHER!

She played an outstanding game and made the right alliances and right moves at crucial times. She was in right getting rid of me because no matter what I told her I was coming after her hard the following week.

Billi played hard I guess riding tails and what not, going into final two he had my vote 60/40 but his answers were ATROCIOUS he is acting as if we should just GIVE him the win, fuck him, he's shit....

IMOGEN FOR THE WIN!

GO IMOGEN!

This game definetely proves final two is gameplay over personal because Imogen would've been the last person after JJ I would've ever voted for...EVER, but Billi is a moron and that makes Imogen look even that much better along with her wins and strategy of course.

GO IMOGEN AGAIN!!

~Dan Gheesling~
I vote for Imogen to win!

Played nearly a perfect game.... enough said.

~JJ Bird~
I vote for Imogen to win Big Brother Curve.

And my reasoning is simple, she was the better player. One thing I hate doing as a juror or hate to see other jurors do is vote personally because that isn’t what this game is about. Billi and Imogen beat each and every one of us and deserve to be in the rightful place. They both worked hard to get where they are. Ultimately though I think Imogen was miles ahead of Billi and the jury questioning just confirmed that. Billi was quite arrogant and seemed like he didn’t really care for the game. Imogen was concise, honest and admirable in her manner of answering and I think a lot of the jurors saw that. I also didn’t like how Billi said that he had ‘Imogen and her alliance of Jess/Dino/JJ behind him and he felt like he was on vacation’. (It was something to that effect) I just cannot understand how someone can be so self assured. I like Billi and for the most part I’ve enjoyed his company but he should have approached the jury questioning totally differently. I predicted that Imogen would walk all over whoever her F2 opponent was, and I still believe that. I’ll be surprised if it isn’t a landslide victory for her.

Billi and Imogen held hands in the living room as they waited for Bianca to announce the results.

Bianca: Big Brother house, this is Bianca. Billi, and Imogen... the votes have been counted and verified, and I can now reveal that by a vote of 7 to 0... the winner of BBCurve is... Imogen!

Imogen: Thanks everyone! Billi, come here...I'll console you with my boobies.

Imogen let out an excited scream, and rushed towards the front door. The doors slid open, revealing Imogen to a huge crowd that cheered wildly as she stepped onto the platform. Fireworks went off, and confetti poured down from the sky. After 50 days of harsh competition, Imogen had won Big Brother Curve!
