I don't know about you, but the hit TV show Whodunnit became my late-night guilty pleasure over the Summer! (Yes, I am a nerd who likes to go to bed early!) I grew up loving the game and the movie Clue all of my life. I love any type of mystery show. I even would watch the TV show Blues Clues as a toddler! So this show was the perfect fix for me this Summer to get a little crime and drama!
Followers of the show Tweeted, Posted, Liked, etc... about the show all Summer long! Some people actually thought the people on the show were being killed off for real! As silly as it may sound, I actually thought that the players were being killed for real too at first. Then, when they were showing the people who were killed off that week talking, I realized just how AMAZING the special effects and make up artists are on this show.
Ok, so I found a great summary of the show off of Wikipedia.org. I hate the idea of "stealing" from Wikipedia. So here's the link to the website with the great summary. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whodunnit%3F_(U.S._TV_series)
SPOILER ALERT! I reveal who the Killer is at the end of this article!
The show itself is a spin-off of Clue. There's the Butler, the Maids, the Guests (who come to this house not knowing they are about to be murdered) and the Killer. The show starts off with a juicy murder as soon as everyone starts to settle in to Rue Manor. Then, Giles admits to the guest that the Killer is among the contestants. This show, however, has the contestants playing for $250,000! The contestants compete for this large prize by solving riddles, "Stating Their Case" (which is telling the Killer who they think the Killer is and why) and waiting to see if they were right or about to be killed off. After dinner, Giles (the Butler) comes in to reveal how the recent murder all went down and reveals which contestant had "The Best Case". That one contestant is then "Spared/Safe". Meaning they won't be killed in the near future. Giles then hands out the rest of the envelops that hold the cards for each person that reveal whether or not the player was "Spared or Scared". The players go around the table to reveal what their card says to the rest of the group. The Killer usually only gives out TWO "Scared" cards and kills only ONE person. But the Killer has been known to hand out THREE "Scared" cards and killed TWO people. They always love to keep everyone on their toes on this show.
So over the past few months, I have been totally addicted to this show. I usually never miss an episode. If I do, I always watch it the next day OnDemand or on my DVR. I usually watched it alone, but my sister recently became addicted too after watching the show over at a friend's house this summer. Last night was the huge season finale, and almost everyone in the house was on the edge of their chair watching to see what was going to happen. My dad and brother, of course, automatically assumed who the Killer was. I had the same guess, and we were all correct.
For those of you who didn't see the season finale, let me recap. Last week, Giles was taken hostage and Melina was killed. This week, the players had to solve multiple riddles, a murder AND prove Giles's Innocence. In the end, Lindsey (one of the players) was killed. And then there were two... In a hidden room, both Kam (Homeland Sec. Atty.) and Cris (Fmr. Beauty Queen) find themselves watching Lindsey (Engineer) be murdered in a trap set up by the Killer. The thing is that both of them were sent there by the Killer to ultimately watch Lindsey's demise and find out...Whodunnit! Kam automatically realized they were both sent there by the Killer and claimed his that he was innocent. Cris, on the other hand, didn't have the time because, as soon as Kam asked if she was the Killer, Lindsey was on the screen being murdered.
Kam finally realizes that Cris is the only other player left and accuses her of being the Killer. She congratulates him with a rhyme (like the rhymes the Killer had given the contestants before). Giles then comes in with Golden Handcuffs and a large suitcase with the $250,000 in it! Kam gets to handcuff Cris, and then the police escort her out of the building into the police car to "go to jail". Not! I don't think the Killer knows they are the Killer until the very end when everyone else does, but the Killer can't really be killed off (for obvious reasons). That part was the only confusing part for me.
Are you a big fan of Whodunnit? Did you know who the Killer was before the season finale? Are you praying that there is a new season next Summer like me!?

PS. I knew who the Killer was this whole entire time! I talked about it the other night at the dinner table, and I was right! Booya!
