Karma bit two players in the butt on Wednesday night's finale, but one of them went home with nothing, and the other won the half million dollar prize.
Michie walked out of the house to the confetti spray that he dreamed of and worked so hard for, but it was a bittersweet win. Allegations of racism and mistreatment of female houseguests aired during the live finale really seemed to rattle him. He maintained his innocence while attempting to apologize. He looked genuinely shocked, and very worried. Michie believes he is a good man, a momma's boy that was raised right. And maybe he was, and is. But he played an aggressive game. He manipulated people. He outright lied about Tommy and was so forceful about it that Nicole and Cliff ultimately decided to evict Tommy. His lie brought the effusive and cheerful Tommy to tears, and was one of the saddest moments I have witnessed on Big Brother.
So yes, Michie won, and it should have been a glorious moment for him. But he actually looked crestfallen as he walked out of the house. I believe I even detected some boos after his name was announced. Maybe the money will ultimately sooth any residual regrets about how he acted in the Big Brother house and what an ugly game he played.
Karma also got to houseguest Bella, whose seemingly strong showmance with Nick blew up in her face when Nick hooked up with Kat in the jury house. Bella was also a very aggressive player who bullied Nicole before she was evicted. I would never wish such betrayal and embarrassment on anyone, but the way she treated Nicole was unforgivable, and almost made and my friends stop watching the show.
The saving grace of last night's finale was the fact that my three favorite houseguests: Cliff, Tommy, and Nicole were the top three people up for America's favorite houseguest. All three are good people who played honest games, and I would have been thrilled to see any of them take home the $25,000 prize. I am absolutely overjoyed for Nicole.
I enjoy the show, but the blatant racism and bullying that went on this season made it tough to watch. I had been so happy to see five racially diverse people on the show this year: David, Obi, Kemi, Jessica, and Bella. Unfortunately, only Jessica made it to the jury.
