It was sooo Rory's WIN & then the show who's infront, then who is losing all a big old ploy to help Nana win.. oh well good on ha!
I'm sure Rory & Ben will make the most of their 15 minutes.. If only there was a mag like zoo but for us chicks, then Rory could be a centrefold and get his 'total package' out just like the girls did (bar Dixie ?? why not Dixie?)

Yeah mel, I agree... it was totally manipulated so that Terri would win!
I would have preferred that they let the voting happen and the final outcome be what it may.....
Not that the whole showing us who was where in the graph and the pushing by Kyle and Jackie O "is this really who you want to win"?? deal
If Ben or Rory won it would have been BB's fault that they didn't let people 'vote to save' on the final night.
Anyway it's all done now and I have watched from day 1 and would still watch next year if there was another show...
I am just addicted to reality tv...lol....sad but true...
