I thought the episode was pretty good, actually last night. Didn't think I'd like it, but I like what they did. A complete ode to how they saw the season playing out. If you were paying attention to the order they left the house, you could see how production expected the rest of the season to play out.
1st out (12th place) - Carol
2nd/3rd/4th out (11th, 10th, 9th place) - The Evictors, JL, Reanne & Madeline
5th out (8th place) - Angie
6th out (7th place) - Hira
7th/8th out (6th & 5th place) - Chris and Suzanne
9th out (4th place) - Vanessa
10th out (3rd place) - Minh-Ly
11th/12th out (2nd & 1st place) - Sheldon and Brooke
So they vote out Carol this week as planned. The Evictors go next, probably led by Chris. They're done with Angie, so she goes next, then they get the Veto king, Hera out after that, probably in a back door. At this point, Minh-Ly has entrenched herself with Brooke and Sheldon while Chris and Suzanne became closer so Chris and Suzanne go next to solidify the final four. Minh-Ly wins the final four HOH, puts up Brooke and Sheldon, but Sheldon wins Veto and then votes out Vanessa. Brooke and Sheldon take each other to the end, Sheldon wins.
