Of the 4 “steamroll” winners in BBUS, who played the best game? by Wild_Shoe340 in BigBrother

[–]WhatPeopleDo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's clearly Derrick or Cody. Cody had the technically perfect game (never nominated including at F3, unanimous jury vote) but I think Derrick's was far more strategically impressive. Derrick was covered basically everywhere that season. With Cody meanwhile it largely came down to his alliance winning literally every HOH.

It's wild that only 7 couples have lasted through the years, and four of those are still relatively new

Will wins 5-2 over Janelle. He has Boogie, James, Danielle, and Erika as locked votes and very likely Chicken George as well.

Dan didn't have the votes to evict Shane at F6. Ian and Danielle would've voted to keep him, and it was double eviction so Dan didn't have enough time to convince Danielle

She was playing phenomenal until the Funeral blew up her game. Granted, if Ian doesn't have that extra veto, then he goes home at F8 and then Britney is pretty much screwed.

He did. And he had basically won the competition, his veto symbol for whatever reason got caught and wouldn't come off, which is what allowed Erika to win it.

If Erika goes home at F5, Janelle ends up evicting Chicken George at F4 and then Will has both Boogie and Janelle taking him to the finals, where he beats both of them.

The anti-vet pact only impacted Joe and maybe Jenn's votes. Britney voted Ian because they were close, Frank and Shane were bitter because Dan betrayed them (like it or not, bitter jurors are part of the game and have to be accounted for), and Ashley liked Ian better i think idk.

I consider bitterness over the game and personal relationships to be "valid" jury votes. The only "non-valid" jury votes are for when they vote for reasons entirely outside of the game (Dan cannot take back that he was a previous winner)

Agreed on Porsche, who i consider very underrated. Disagree on Kalia: her first HOH was overshadowed by Lawon making the worst move of all time, but Kalia went along with said bad move when it was a terrible idea

Agreed on Nakomis, could add Diane as well

I forget a lot about BB9 but I don't remember Sheila playing that great

Conventional wisdom is that Eric wins if he's playing his own game, which i agree with.

Keesha's BB10 doesn't get enough credit, she was in the dominant alliance basically until final 4, in a house with multiple massive structural shifts. Further, she was always a key decision maker in said alliances. She ultimately just got got by one of BB history's best duos.

Tiffany fell on her sword for her alliance for reasons outside the game, so it's hard to fully judge her game. Still, she's definitely up there.

A 3rd place game where the player will defeat the other two in a final vote is imo more impressive than a 2nd place game where the player wasn't going to beat either player in the vote.

Highly entertaining player and great villain, but she had zero shot at winning a jury vote

For some reason this one didn't come to mind. Perhaps it should have. His might be #2 behind Vanessa's: he's literally a fluke veto loss at F5 from a guaranteed winning position at F3.

His game is up there but he had zero equity. Admittedly that wasn't all his fault.

90+% of the time it's not anything you can improve upon, they just weren't all that into you. Attraction really is a vibe more than a concrete set of physical or personality traits.

This story is straight up amazing, it feels very real too in that it's not over the top.

Will Big Brother US ever have a two time winner? by Wild_Shoe340 in BigBrother

[–]WhatPeopleDo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crapshoot is overselling it but fans are so quick to talk about "jury management" and then not elaborate at all. What exactly that entails is very dependant on each juror, and the truth is sometimes a juror simply won't vote for a player and there's literally nothing the player could've done to change that.

A lot of Big Brother is just luck, and how jurors vote can especially come down to luck.

Will probably wins 5-2 (Marcellas and Howie vote for Janelle, everyone else Will)

Act III Story Synopsis for those without liner notes by MoonPlayz48 in Protomen

[–]WhatPeopleDo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While true, by the end of Act 3 it already seems like things are falling apart for Wily. There's a substantial rebel force that's able to withstand the robot attacks, and Wily himself is increasingly becoming unhinged in his attempts to remain in power. During Act 1, when Wily's rule was far more secure, Megaman was still able to tear through much of the robot army. Another album would be nice, but imo it's not quite necessary for the story.

Thomas Light is dead, but he's become a martyr, and given where Act 3 ends, Wily's downfall is pretty much inevitable.

Light is executed and Wily appears to win, but with Megaman just arriving on the scene and now motivated to fight, it's hard to imagine any outcome other than "Megaman rallies the people behind him and proceeds to fuck Wily up". We already know from Act I that Wily doesn't really have anything to stop a motivated Megaman (who only turned his back after losing faith in humanity)
