This is something we've never formally done before, so I figured we could try it.
After seeing everyone's Diary Room boards (which I will unlock as soon as I get home today), what are some things that you discovered that you never knew before that point? Any surprises?
Also, I do have a few questions about Lucille that I will ask when I'm by a computer. She was an enigmatic character for sure, but behind the scenes, she raised a few question marks to us hosts (which were not helped by her mysterious disappearance).

Luci has been my biggest question mark since day one. That's the only thing I still don't get. Just who is Luci?

As a guest host, but mostly viewer, this season was one of frustration for me. It started out good but I am always disappointed in seeing active players going before inactive players. I was surprised by how many competitions had such little participation sometime. I personally was disappointed in Christian taking Gabe over Bryson for that reason in particular to the final two, but in a way understand why he did. Congratulations, Christian on the win though I am glad someone who actively player this season got the win. I've really enjoyed being on the other side of the game as a host and hope to take a more active role in that position next season  |

What did everyone think about the Covert Affair twist? I was excited about it during the planning stages but I feel like everyone eventually figured everything out eliminating some of the mystery?
I maintain that Luci was Brandon. I have no proof but just a sinking suspicion and it is killing me that we will likely never know.

I think the magnifying glass should have been worth more Chens or something. I think the Covert Affair Twist is a great idea, but we quickly figured out how to beat it as players. All it took was for one person to buy a magnifying glass and then everyone freaked. Cause then you'd be exposed.
If Covert Affair is used again, I'd either find a way to make it truly Covert, in that nobody can find out who won HOH unless the HOH tells them or if you mix it with Chens; make the magnifying glass more expensive. I think Covert Affair should return, but making it harder for everyone to find out who won the competitions would make it more exciting and fun.

I agree with Derek honestly. The Covert Affair was a great twist at first, but the magnifying glass kind of screwed that up. The fear of someone discovering you were HoH before you told them yourself made people terrified to keep it a secret and have people angry they were lying, so information about who won what spread pretty quickly. Without the magnifying glass, that fear is gone and it could enable a lot more people to make riskier decisions.
And Amanda, I completely understand you being disappointed in my decision to do that. In a way, I was too. However, I really wanted to be able to win this game, especially after being in F4 with the trio, and had I brought Bryson I can now say with about 99% certainty I would have lost. I wasn't going to throw away my shot at something I had worked so hard for

Ok, so the deal with Luci was that I did a reverse Google image search of some of your avatars and came across this article. It is pretty clear that Luci is not who we think 'she' is, and Luci is merely a fake identity. Whether it was a returning player or not, we'll never know (since she disappeared on the day of her eviction). But it is an intriguing (and frustrating) point to think about. |

Also, I have removed the passwords from everyone's Diary Room threads. All we ask is that in order to keep with the spirit of the Diary Rooms, please do not delete any of your Diary Room posts...it's all part of the game (I'm looking at you, Cody).

If I wanted to delete my DR like last season it would have been done before now.

Hey, it's veteran Brendan in the flesh. You may have heard about me already, from some unreliable and butthurt narrators.
But you guys probably already picked up on something being off with Jake/Cody when they bullied poor Derek senselessly. Derek, I'd like to cordially thank you for stopping their entitlement. You are going to be much more successful in life than the both of them. Also in this same year, Jake taking the biggest social threat in BBORG history, Amanda, to the F3 and then cheating? Priceless!
I came by because I wanted to let everyone know I'll be returning for BB11. Maybe as host with Joe, or perhaps as a contestant (though only if I can bring a bunch of premade allies in, amirite? We'll call ourselves the Lucille club and stop all of Jake's bullets).
So yeah, I look forward to meeting a lot of you newbies, see you in May 2017 and Merry Christmas.

Season 11 will be a new beginning. Old and new will be allowed, but I'm putting my foot down and not allowing Brendan to play. The game is meant to be fun, and if Season 11 is going to be as big as I hope it to be, I'm going to make sure the contestants are chosen wisely.

I will only not play if Jake decides that S11 isn't worth his hassle. Because that'd show a sign of growth on Jake's part.
You do not get to dictate that sort of thing Spidey. You can't pretend it's a welcoming environment if you're only going to stand for a pro-Jake environment.
I'm a former winner of this game, whether you'd like to acknowledge that in your warped reality or not.

Season 11 will be a new beginning. A season of new hosts. This game is ready for a change after the past several seasons (mainly season 7 where some Asshat took credit for someone else's game and won over the clearly more deserving person). It's time for something new.
Also, I've been told by numerous people you are banned from ever playing this game again. So again, get back into the hole you crawled out of. Season 11 is a new beginning, a start of something new... And Brendan will not be welcomed.
