Nah this isn't true, there is far too much emphasis put on comp wins these days in North American Big Brother when it's at its heart a social game.
Dr Will threw pretty much every comp he ever played in, volunteered to be put on the block, told everyone he was a liar and not to be trusted and asked to be voted out and he still won (almost twice). It's testament to someone's social game that they can rely on their powers of manipulation and persuasion to survive alone. Jun and Andy are much the same although the latter did take a few HoH's, perhaps in BBCan Godfrey's the best (and most underrated) example. It's a mean feat and isn't appreciated enough.
Winning comps is just as viable a strategy and there's nothing wrong with it, but relying on social game alone to survive is I'd argue far harder.

Depends how far the xenophobic sentiment some of the cat ladies on Facebook and feedsters on Twitter spreads nationwide I guess, I mean she has been topping popularity polls all season long but idk, I think Joel would just about edge it
