I'm ready to fall in love with a new group of players all over but theres not a new cast. It makes me appreciate BBCan because we truly were so privileged to have two seasons a year. #bb27

With #bb27 complete, I feel my love of the show and these kinds of games renewed. It's amazing how deep the storytelling potential of these games is and at how it always manages to surprise me and showcase new moments each season. Yet somehow it still feels like there's deep untapped potential.

Also during night 1 of feeds, I had Ashley as my number 1 player from just the 3 hours I had. I wavered sometimes on the #1 spot, but I never wavered on viewing her as one of the best players in that house. She felt like a "Winner-potential" candidate the moment I saw her on feeds.
So surreal. #bb27

I had a conversation with Hannah Chaddah the night before the BB27 premiere and she told me "I'm worried that the experience won't turn out as she hopes." I remember telling her "She'll be fine. She seems really capable and well prepped." And here she is, having just won the season. #bb27

The masterminds being the next major player royally screwed over by a twist in a season where they were the mastermind was wild. #bb27

Vince gave a solid speech. Just...Ashley's game is so much clearer and she's explained it very very well. #bb27

So Ashley just won with that laugh from Kelley. Kelley is clearly over Vince. #bb27

Differentiate yourself from Morgan:

Vince: "ummmmmm.....maybe this?" #bb27

And Ashley continues her messaging throughline #bb27

#bb27 was destined for a BRUTAL and emotional cut at final 2 either way, and that's one of the coolest parts of the season. Morgan is taking this so well too. She deserves a lot of respect and celebration as a top 50 player in BB history. So thankful for that.

What a truly incredible moment. It's unfortunate the story of the season will be either "Why Vince won" or "Why Vince lost" and not "Why Ashley won", but she's played an incredible game here.

And props to Morgan for carrying the jury phase on her back. #bb27

Things you must know:

- Comp Outcomes
- Number of Comps played in and which comps that was.
- Comp Names
- All days
- Elimination comp orders
- Julie's weekly outfits
- Vote counts
- stuff like that.

WOW. This was the most dominant part 3 I've seen in a while. WILD.

But also for future houseguests (hopefully myself included), make sure you know these kinds of questions, because they are VERY hard and the kind of thing that's harder to remember the further away from those events you are.

What a finale from Vince. He definitely deserves an all-star spot because he's delivering an emaculate finale so far. Hope he doesn't win, but that would be nice. #bb27

Yep!! All 14 episodes. Likely dropping 1 a day (TBD). It's my final project for my interactive narrative class, so it's 100% happening, as such expect a ealry december release date.

But yeah, it's as cool as you hope it would be. Can't wait for people to see it when it's finished!
