But you know what his honesty did for him here. Also, even if it were totally true, you don't say that!ĭerek F did argue that he'd played an honest game, and we suppose this was more than that. Now, he did his part to protect her, more early in the game, as a member of the Jokers, but The Cookout protected her as it did all its members, and they all worked to protect one another. He also started "reminding" her that he carried her throughout the game. Watching Xavier and Azah snuggle - which they've been doing all season - became too much for him and he started freaking out on Azah about whether or not she would take him to the end. But then his paranoia started creeping in, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He basically had his spot in the finale all sown up. He already had a Final 2 deal solidified with Xavier, and Azah had made it clear that despite that, she was still planning to take her BFF in the House to the end if she won Part 3.Īll he had to do was sit back and keep everyone laughing. In its own way, it's kind of impressive.Īt the same time, after a stellar social game all season, he absolutely botched these final few days. We've seen Big D lose it after every competition loss, and this loss cemented his status as someone who made it to finale night without a single competition win under his belt. Xavier won Part 1 of the Final Head of Household competition, which left Azah and Derek F to fight it out for the chance to face him in Part 3.Įrika Jayne Says She Has 'Zero Dollars' on RHOBH, Costars Keep Bringing Up Tom's Alleged Victims And that meant two more rounds of competition. It was this raucous group that would decide the winner, but first they needed to know who they'd be deciding between. Maybe even Paul could have gotten their vote. In other words, this Jury was mostly not taking things personally (Kyland, perhaps notwithstanding) and was here to respect gameplay. This didn't appear to be a bitter Jury in any appearance we've seen them before this one, with even the ones blindsided by The Cookout impressed by its effectiveness and how well it was concealed from them.
But he did not do a great job of owning all of his backstabbing and false alliances to his bitter juries and had to settle for back-to-back second place finishes. Paul Abrahamian rode "Friendship" to those Final 2 seats in back-to-back seasons and played the best game in both seasons - an absolutely dominant one his second time.
