That is just totally NOT what it is, at least for me anyway. I don't like the Sovereign alliance because they were mean to the Friendsheep's faces, I like them because they PLAYED the game. Every single one of those in the supposed Friendsheep did not think for themselves. They thought whatever Maggie wanted them to think. And that's the honest truth! In any situation they were faced with...who was the voice of reason? Maggie. Every time. The people in the Sovereign alliance thought for themselves, even if it was as a group. They talked about what to do in the situations they were faced with and not everyone agreed all the time. They would go into the HOH/nomination ceremony/eviction with their own opinions as to who should win/be put up/be evicted. They may have played a little dirty, but that's why I watch the show. I didn't care for the first season of BB for the most part because they were all such "friends" by the end. No one wanted to PLAY the game. I like the Sovereign because they PLAYED and didn't FOLLOW. Big difference in my opinion! The Friendsheep played just as dirty, they just wouldn't do it to your face. With the Sovereign, what you see is what you get...and that's what made it so much fun to watch!
Please remember that Janelle gave them SEVERAL names that she wouldn't mind hearing from. From what I remember, she had said Michael, her mom, or her grandma. I'm not sure where/when I saw that, but I KNOW that I did. (I think she said so in a DR confession) And as Michael had said last week, they met under VERY different circumstances. They were with each other 24/7...lots of time to get to know each other as best as they can...Under normal circumstances, no...I wouldn't want to hear from someone who I had only known for 2 weeks, but I also can't say that I blame her. She LIKES him...he LIKES her...and maybe she's not all that close to her family anyway. These people don't know what her family situation is like outside the house. If she truly did give her mom, grandma, and Michael as people she'd love to hear from, maybe BB decided that a call from Michael would cause the most upheaval in the house anyway...I hate the fact that people judged her so harshly because she got that call from Michael.
Last night's show was brilliant. Howie cracked me up!! He so honest...lol. And I love how it was beginning to dawn on the Friendsheep that they aren't America's sweethearts. Eric and his sour grapes...The medicine doesn't taste the same cuz it was DIFFERENT medicine...lol. Ivette looked like she lost half a million...Of the two at the end, Maggie did play the game better, but she wasn't the BEST player this season. I think that honor goes between James and Janelle. I will miss about half of this cast...the other half...well, not so much...lol...and if never again see the over dramatic eye-rolling by Jennifer, if will be too soon! I did notice that the Sovereign alliance was "happier" to see each other than the Friendsheep were!
After the interview this morning...Ivette's finally seen the light. I'm sorry that it took her so long...Maggie...I still don't like her much...lol. A dictator never thinks they are the dictator...lol.
I'm sad that this season is over! It was way more fun than previous seasons! I used to think that I couldn't possibly dislike anyone playing this game more than Alison/Jun and Scott/Jase...boy was I wrong!! I know that I didn't post much in the threads, but I lurked a lot!! You guys made it so enjoyable!! I love the debate banter back and forth over the alliances! Here's to next year and BB7!!
