This is the first F2 where I liked both players. Hell, it's the first one since S3 where I liked evern ONE of the finalists. So, I won't be crushed
if Memphis wins, although obviously I want Dan to win.
It's sort of senseless to debate who deserves it more, because people have different criteria on which they vote. Who is to say which is more correct? If I were voting, I would base it on who was the better player overall. Not just comps, and not just interpersonal skills. People that vote out of spite annoy me, although I would have in S8. I couldn't have voted for Dick against anyone. To me Dan had to the most work to do from the get go. His alliance fell apart in the first week. He was a target until he was brought into the "7", where he played under the radar until he needed to and then he won just about everything he could. I think he was by far the smartest player as well. Memphis played well too, but a couple times he really needed to be saved. To his credit though, he stayed calm and allowed himself to be saved and didn't sabotage himself. But he didn't have the vision that Dan had IMO. I know that Dan will be happy with 50K, or 70K if they give him 2nd place AND the AP money, but I think his ego will be hurt if he finishes second. I don't really care about that though. I just think he was the best player and I hope the jury members aren't all bitter when they vote. DAN FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Article on Dan
'Big Brother' finale includes Dearborn man
Friday, September 12, 2008 Adam Graham / The Detroit News Oh, "Brother!" Metro Detroit is one step closer to having a "Big Brother" winner in its midst. That's because on Thursday's episode of the CBS summer reality series, Dearborn's Dan Gheesling advanced to the contest's final two, putting him within an arm's reach of the show's meaty $500,000 prize. The winner will be decided by a jury of seven ousted house guests on Tuesday's live "Big Brother 10" season finale. Even if Gheesling should lose, he's guaranteed a runner-up purse of $50,000. As Gheesling himself said on Thursday's episode, "Not bad for a schoolteacher, huh?" Gheesling, 25, teaches biology and physical education at Orchard Lake St. Mary's Preparatory, where he is also assistant coach of the varsity football team. He frequently wears his bright red Orchard Lake St. Mary's shirt inside the house, and has been known to scrawl "OLSM" underneath his left eye as a signal to his school and his team. He's also made many references to Michigan and to Dearborn while in the "Big Brother" house, and has taken the chance to draw the state of Michigan -- with a star denoting where Dearborn lies -- on various surfaces during competitions. Alongside Gheesling in the final two is Robert "Memphis" Garrett, with whom Gheesling has been in a secret alliance -- dubbed "the Renegades" -- since the fourth week inside the house. On Thursday's episode, Gheesling won the final "Head of Household" competition -- his third, more than any other contestant this season -- and sent 75-year-old Jerry MacDonald walking out the door, leaving just himself and Garrett to vie for the money. Throughout the series, Gheesling -- who in his diary room confessionals speaks with the volume of someone who has headphones in his ears and isn't aware of how loud he's talking -- has methodically schemed and plotted his way through the competition, at one point being branded "Judas" by MacDonald for his backstabbing ways. But he has had a clear plan from day one, initially throwing competitions to appear weak before running roughshod through his fellow housemates over the last several weeks. He's also become a fan favorite, and was voted "America's Player" for one week early in the series. A Gheesling victory is far from a gimme, however. He was personally responsible for the eviction of several of the house guests-turned-jury members who will decide his fate, and it remains to be seen if he can win their votes come Tuesday. "You know what I tell the football players back at St. Mary's?" Gheesling said in Thursday's episode, during part one of the three-part final "Head of Household" competition. "If it ain't rough, it ain't right." And true to form, Gheesling is facing a rough road to victory. Whether he wins or loses, Orchard Lake St. Mary's head coach George Porritt looks forward to seeing Gheesling back on the sidelines when he leaves the "Big Brother" house. "We miss him as a coach, and we all know he's a wonderful guy," says Porritt. "I know he'll be excited to be back." Porritt's only concern is that Gheesling's media tour, should he win, may interfere with the football season. So far this year, the OLSM Eaglets -- who lost in the state finals last year to East Grand Rapids High School -- are 1-1. Before earning his undergraduate and master's degrees from Michigan State University, Gheesling attended Divine Child High School in Dearborn. He also worked as a graduate assistant coach for Michigan State's football team, and a picture of him coaching on the sidelines at MSU was shown on "Big Brother" after one of his "Head of Household" wins. Porritt says there's been a lot of excitement at the school over Gheesling's time on the reality show, which kicked off July 13, though he admits he hasn't watched every show. As for his sneaky game play and whether it reflects poorly on his character, Porritt says, "He's just having fun -- like when people play poker." Either way, Porritt is pulling for his assistant coach. "I hope he wins," he said. One other Metro Detroiter has made it to the finals on "Big Brother." In 2001, during the show's second season, Pontiac's Nicole Schaffrich clawed her way to the end, but ultimately lost to "the Evil Doctor," Will Kirby.

He'll most likely marry his girfriend, buy a house and start a family. Memphis will blow the money on a bar where he'll invent a new drink called "The Renegade." It'll be made with bourbon (in honor of Renny who would have had to have voted for him) and lemonade and it will taste like piss, ruining his reputation as as a mixologist. |
