i knew drew would pick cowboy if he won hoh. through the whole episdoe, his interaction with diane seemed really standoffish and detached. when he was with cowboy, he seemed really comfortable and genuine. the goodbye message drew gave diane really shows that he's not interested in her outside the game. he gave a more heartfelt message (and almost cried) when scott left! hmmm...since jase apparently is into women now, maybe scott should turn his attention to drew. who doesn't love a young, naive college boy?

Diane's exit was not a totally spite-free affair. Let's not forget the awkward handshake that Drew turned into a hug, or Diane's passive aggressive little remark which was something like "I don't remember that conversation at all, but it's okay, I'll see you when the game's over." and then SLAM - door closed. She wasn't so pleased with Drew's goodbye message either. trouble...

Hey, does anyone think that maybe Cowboy's stupidity was his strategy? I mean, what if was just acting like a complete dumba$$ just to make it to the final two. He could possibly be working towards his PhD in thermodynamics or something.

On second though, no, he's just a lucky moron.

Cowboy's not a moron. A provincial yokel, but he ain't stupid. Else he would have fallen for Nakomis's "blood's thicker than" bid.

I wouldn't vote for Drew. He has repeatedly made his misogyny clear. "Women are the root of all evil." This from someone so young. Drew's had a cushy life. I'd give it to Cowboy who could at least do for himself and his family who have so little.

Diane will definately need ^therapy^ after this. I don't think the girl will ever see Drew outside the house.
That Drew is one smart cookie!! I think he'll win by a landslide.
Cowboy should be able to fix his teeth with second place. so much for that treadmill for April though.

There is far too much anti-redneck sentiment in the jury house for Michael to have much of a chance.

Drew miscalculated--Diane has made far too many enemies on the jury, and with the twins and the faultlessly loyal Cowboy in the bag, he'd only have needed Nakomis, Will, or Marvin, none of whom did he break any promises with and all of whom were royally screwed over by Diane.

But I still like his chances: Marvin would rather vote for the pretty-boy than the obviously racist Cowboy, who campaigned against him from the beginning. Will has been using thoughts of Drew as whack-off material for the past three months and wouldn't vote for Cowboy to get a 'Queer-Eye' makeover, much less half a million bucks. Diane is still under the sad illusion that Drew will want anything to do with her after the game, and, despite the sting of betrayal, will probably rationalize his choice as a means of getting her to sway the jury in his (or, in her mind, their) favor. And then there's Karen, who was never backstabbed by Drew and who has to hold her nose just to speak the words 'Cowboy' or 'Michael.'

Even the twins will be conflicted because of their bible-beater friendship with Drew, though they will probably favor Cowboy since he never had to vote either of them out. Nakomis too will be conflicted, but she doesn't exactly owe Michael any favors since he evicted her, and let's face it: can you imagine a worse nightmare than suddenly discovering that you're related to a guy that makes Cousin Eddie from 'Vacation' look like a paragon of class and taste?

There's always the chance that one or two swing voters will cave in to pity for Cowboy's white trash circumstances, but most of them are probably smart enough to realize that, after taxes, the 1/2 million ought to leave just enough to get Cowboy out of hock and pay for a tacky wedding involving horses and Toby Keith. The 'dude ranch for kids' as probably a bigger pipe dream than a CBS sit-com. What'll be left over of that money wouldn't buy a 1,000 sq. foot ranch house, and who wants to send their kids off to learn ropin' and bull-ridin' from a guy who bursts into tears every time he hears the word 'Chasen'?

Jack predicts: Drew, 5-2.

P.S. - the fact that the 2nd place prize of $50 grand is still enough money to make Cowboy cry for a week straight will assuage the guilt of certain jury members who might be considering a pity vote. Drew's apparently privileged background may work against him, but in the end, it'll be another high-school popularity contest.

Either way, look out for Rupert Redux at your local water park or Six Flags. Thank God there are no pro sports teams in Oklahoma.

ya know, wtf is drew thinking? of course cowboy would be the house favorite to win. i dont see anyone on the jury that cowboy has offended really (save nakomis aka jennifer, the restaurant hostess from bfe) and with so many people hating on diane, drew would have easily won.

idiot.

i really dont understand why cowboy gets so much sympathy since he's some poor schmuck from OK with a wife and step-kid. thats his lot in life, he can deal with it. the argument that he should win based on life circumstances is total bollocks--rich kids need money too!

I just knew you were going to mention that camel toe seen round the world.
And you did, I thank you.

As for Holly & Jase having a relationship, sure, why wouldn't it be true.
We all know Holly is cute but not a lot going on upstairs. It just proves to me what a dimwit Jase is as well.

Why would Diane not vote for Drew to get the money? Doesn't she want her boyfriend to win so she can share the happiness, I mean money, with him?

And I really didn't want either of these people to win. I feel like both of them rode on the coat tails of others. Just kind of following and remaining to quiet.

once again the most obnoxious team in baseball (the yankees, in case it wasn't obvious) kept me from watching the far better tv experience of big brother. thanks a fucking lot new york city.

anywho, the pic of julie looks like she is working as an stewardess for Eastern Airlines circa 1979.

Drew will probably win this one. everyone knows what a parasite Cowboy has been all summer and he literally leeched his way to the top. he was a lacky for whomever happend to be in power that week and even played look-out for the twins while they bible thumped drew into doing things their way. The jurys not going to reward that type of behavior. at least i hope not.

I can't believe I missed this episode!!! OY!

Wish you would issue the Scott & Jase video on DVD. I watch it over & over & over...........Whoever put that together is really talented.
