    GR Big Brother 7 - The Final!



    GR Big Brother 7 - 2009

    The Final!


    In what seems to be an eternity, way back in mid-May I decided to once again bring back Big Brother after the [pretty much] universal good feedback I received last year for bringing it back (after being dieing a few years before) & making it as successful as it was. I, myself, can't yet judge whether this year has surpased last year's game but even if it hasn't, it's still left a load of unforgettable memories which a large number of people (some of whom weren't even apart of Big Brother, atleast from the start).

    June 7th 2009 was the day in which it all began again, for GR Big Brother. 8 housemates walked into the house - some returning, some new - & were met with a number of surprises (eg the virtual house, the rule that the house's effort in the Weekly Tasks would determine the Prize Money & the final housemate to be announced, etc). Over time people came, people left - both housemates & Big Brothers - there were arguments, there was plenty of drama, plenty of tasks, plenty of surprises, & everything else that comes with the Big Brother experience. Who can forget the time when SuperCrazy was meant to leave the house, but instead he was kept in & got to evict The Lord of Darkness? Or C://Spot/Run's arrival, & his "conversations" with Jmark? Or even Cuda's departure, & the drama around that? Or heck, whether Anti should've been banned or not? I could go on, & on, & on.

    To be honest, I've pretty much so far received mixed comments about people's thoughts & feelings regarding this year's game. Hopefully I can get a better look of things when hopefully some of y'all will come the questionniare that I'll post in a few days (though don't worry, I'll try to make it shorter than last year). Nonetheless it's been a rollercoaster of a journey but one that I'm glad I was apart of, as I'm sure many of you reading this are.

    But that brings us onto today. The final of GR Big Brother 2009. It's July 31 2009. It's Day 54 in the Big Brother house, & it's time to reveal the final four places for this year's game. First of all though, I want to thank everybody whose helped to make this year's game what it became to be, I couldn't have done it without you - housemates, Big Brothers & non-housemates. Housemates: through everything that's happpened, I hoped you've enjoyed the game & might wish to return to the house in the future. Big Brothers: I thank you for your help & support; We ourselves have had our disagreements but I couldn't have the done the game like I did without you. And non-housemates: If it wasn't for you this game wouldn't have run as it needed to, as we rely on your votes to make many of the decisons in Big Brother. I also want to thank the Admins who have helped with the banning of people, whether it be from the forums or the shoutbox, or with any other issues I've brought to them. But, let's get onto the reason everybody is reading all this...

    So, after all these 8 weeks, what have the housemates been able to accumulate for the Prize Money? Well, with all 4 housemates passing the final Weekly Tas,k it had been raised up from -$10 to $30; However, due to the housemates deciding to put Option 2 into effect (regarding the Winners Vote), the Prize Money was therefore halved & now stands at $15. Regardless of the amount, only one person can win this & that is the winner of this year's game. The housemates who land in the top 3 places will each receive a banner which they can use in their signature. The housemate who lands in 4th place will just recieve commisserations. So, with that out of the way, the housemate who finishes in 4th position... with 10% of the final vote, he is...

    Spoiler:
    Spoiler:
    Revolver!


    Spoiler:
    So now we're down to just 3 people - 1 American & 2 Brits. Big Brother can now reveal that the housemate to finish in 3rd place is... with 15% of the final vote, he is...

    Spoiler:


    Spoiler:
    With Imp now gone we're down to just 2 people: SuperCrazy & [NikE]™. Who will go home with the coveted Big Brother crown? The votes have been counted & verified, & Big Brother can now reveal that with 40% of the final vote the winner of this year's GR Big Brother is.......

    Spoiler:
    [NikE]™!



    Spoiler:
    And just for reference, the housemate who finishes in 2nd place, with 35% of the final vote is... SuperCrazy!



    As previously said, the winner of this year's game will recieve $15 as that is the final accumulated Prize Money. How that will be received can be discussed later.

    As previously hinted to, I'm probably going to be posting an evaluatory questionnare which I'd like all housemates from this year's game to complete. I'm not going to be hunting y'all down, demanding that you complete it for me, but it would be highly appreciated as all feedback I receive can go to help future Big Brother games here on GamingRing.

    Now that kinda brings me on the future of Big Brother. Will it return in the future? I don't know. I'd like to hope it will, hopefully with me running it, but at this time I can't be certain. As other people can tell you, it's a lot of work to run this game as it needs to be run & whether I'll be able to do that in 12 months time I just don't know at this time. Hopefully I'll be able to bring it back, but I guess time will tell. Y'all will definitely know though, if it is brought back so don't worry about missing out on it. Though, I don't know how I'm going to top this year's Prize - last year it was a DVD, this year it was real money, & next time... god knows.

    Once again I would like to thank everybody who in any way helped or did anything for this year's game, it was all much appreicated. I don't do it for my own health, I do it for the enjoyment of others & I really do hope that y'all have enjoyed this year's game in one way or another.

    And remember, Big Brother is always watching....

    Re: GR Big Brother 7 - The Final!

    congrats Nike, you earned it.
    The Wall of Shame:
    1)Matt Young - A peculiar individual whose claims to fame include sleeping with minors, hacking ex-girlfriend's myspaces, showing half nude photos of himself to teenage boys, and posting personal information of other members in his signature as means of "retaliation" against internet acquaintances.

    A truly magnificent inspiration in what our youth should aim to NOT be. God bless and we salute you, Matthew Young

    2)ShoNuff~LudaKrys - The Siegfried and Roy of formulating informed opinions. Just when I think one might be there, the fvcking tiger of reason gobbles it up; quickly returning me to my senses.

    3)Jmark - Whatever will Jmark do without Brad's rectum to attach his various appendages to? I imagine it'll be a lot like losing your legs to a landmine and receiving prosthetic limbs, at first having to relearn how to crawl before relearning to walk. Brad, do come back so that your love Gunn can once again give Jmark's wide open Palumbo a reason to quiver with excitement again.

    Congratulations Nike. If there was anybody in the house that deserved it the most, it was either you or Imp, and you got it done. The only thing that sucks is you actually get less money out of it since you live off of pounds. No matter. You still won. Put those 9 pounds to good use.

    That was so damn tense going down the final 4. I really thought supercrazy would take it for a second.

    I'd just like to thank the housemates that i shared that place with. However good or bad the relationship was, you made the experience what it was.

    I'd also like to thank the people who voted for me. Greatly appreciated guys

    And finally i'd like to thank Ben and all the other Big Brother's. You made the game what it was with your twists and turns. Most notably the Supercrazy and LOD fiasco.

    Thanks a lot guys.

    Re: GR Big Brother 7 - The Final!

    Thanks for the nod on the plot-twist, switcher task with LoD/SC, Nike. Think I might trademark that task idea as a Blaze original. I'm sure for some people it'd rather be believed that I'm this horrid guy who is just after e-drama, so don't go off saying I did something right too often.

    I'll be honest, I'd rather have seen SC win it strictly for the irony of it, but in terms of who "deserved" it, Nike takes it. Well done, chap.

    Re: GR Big Brother 7 - The Final!

    Well done Nike, this has been a really enjoyable experience, I could not have wished to have seen a more deserving winner, I'm glad that the GR community had the sense to realise that you deserved to win.

    Also thanks Ben for the whole experience, it allowed us to share our creativity and have a good time with the rest of the housemates.

    Finally thanks to all the other housemates who have made the experience kinda random, funny and a joy to experience. From the highs to the lows It's been great fun.

    Thanks and congrats again Nike!

    Imp.

    Re: GR Big Brother 7 - The Final!

    As we all can agree, the best man won. I enjoyed the game regardless of my final standings, had a cool bunch of people in there which made it enjoyable and it certainly wasnt short of hilarious controversial moments.

    Congraulations Nike!

    Oh and thanks to Ben and the rest of the Big Brothers who did all the work and of course my fellow housemates.

    Good to see you win, Nike. And glad to see my fiasco with SC was all set up for personal enjoyment. It's all good though, because all I was screwed out of is an apparent $15. Either way, once again, congrats Nike!

    Once again, you didn't get screwed. The twist was plotted out and was going to be put into motion well before SuperCrazy chose to evict himself and would have happened even if he didn't volunteer. Had you chosen to sacrifice yourself you'd have been given the same option. There is and never was any conspiracy against you.

    I'm not going to get into it, because it happened in the past and doesn't matter at all at this point. All I'm going to say is, once again, congrats to Nike.

    It went from 30 to 15. 30/2=15. Unless of course you mean that you wish it wasn't halved.

    Nike, I've forgotten your MSN-email-thing, so if you could PM it to me we can discuss how you're going to receive this $15. I would have PMed this to you, instead of posting it, but for some strange reason I can't seem to PM oyu from my account anymore.
