It was a PGA Championship for the record books. Torrential rain delayed the final round for hours threatening completion, while Rory McIlroy pulled through in the back nine and was not only able to finish but fought off the top three players because Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson allowed him to play through because of darkness. A foursome on the final hole of a major, unheard of!
It was as dramatic and wild as a tournament gets and certainly the most exciting finish this season. However, it just wasn’t enough for Big Brother fans whose Sunday episode was delayed two hours along with the tournament. Now, I am a rabid Big Brother Fan – but I also adore golf and that ending made it worth the wait.
For a bunch of folks who are spending their summer watching a group of people sitting around a house, they have very little patience and they took to Twitter to complain. Or in Big Brother speak… the fans would definitely Put Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy “on the block.”
How lucky am I to work for a network with two dramatic shows with a major fan base vying for time?
Here are the top nine Big Brother Fan reactions from the rain delay.
