Without her and every other unfortunate who attached themselves to her being evicted? No. There was not enough willing competition towards her specifically so she had to farm camera time using perceived slights towards others. But once they were tossed out she basically had the whole show to herself. Marcello and Emma tried to bring some things to light but it was comically late it didn't end up mattering.

I believe the 52% result because it was a lukewarm final 6 with really no other big characters. Ali narrated the edits basically because she was drama thirsty enough, while the rest all pretty much bitched 24/7 in the most cordial/socially acceptable way possible. A lot of it never made air.

The other groups were also too busy disagreeing on whether everyone was too nice or not, that was like 98% of the show content from them...it is amazing to me how the early comments made around fakeness kept most all of them on the drama fence the entire series... but they didn't have to do anything worth losing sleep over so that's great... *cue final L&L nasty clip reveals ruining everyone*

She played the game very well but they were all too nice. They should've kept some of the meanies in instead of picking people the least likely to offend them because it made the friend groups tragically easy to troll. BB manipulation didn't help either because it just kept them all on guard 24/7. They were all entertaining, don't get me wrong, but almost none of them were all that likeable either due to having massive egos or just wimpier behavior in general.
