in response to the second point... wait, so you don't think peter was a good player? then WTF. this isn't BBUK, this is BBCAN, this ain't a popularity contest! we are judging a GAME.
well i'm judging a GAME at least, so you must be judging on a very different set of criteria than i am. and i'm judging Peter based on the GAME he supposedly held himself to, he claimed to be such a great GAME player, so that is the standard i am holding him to.

Okay then I respect that, but I personally don't decide my favourites on game alone, don't get me wrong it's an important aspect but not the only aspect. My favourites were Candice and Elissa in BB15, the former had barely any game and the latter had some, they were good to watch/rootable amongst the vile people. But then on the other hand since I've been watching all the previous seasons, Will is my favourite houseguest of all time and he was both a good player, funny and likeable.
I don't begrudge Andy his win since he was the best player after Scumanda left but that doesn't mean I like him as a person. I understand what you're saying though.
If we were ranking game in BBCAN, it would go:
Emmett > (Jemmett as a duo) > Gary > Jillian > Tom (by virtue of him being the only other one to bother playing, his game was crap though)
Then none of the others did anything else. But it was a good season because the cast were good to watch, if we ranked on contribution it'd be Gary > Peter > Suzette > Jemmett > Tom > Liza > Alec >
One other point I would make though is that I see BBCAN as a hybrid between BBUK and BBUS and I think they deliberately positioned it as that so as not to be a total carbon copy of the latter, hence the PowerShifts and secret missions. As a fan of the BBUS format I wasn't a fan of the Canadian influence looking back but I think it's important to differentiate BBCAN from BBUS because assuming they do the same kind of stuff next year, I think the two are different games and have to be viewed as and played differently. The US is strictly strategic whilst Canada is both strategic and a popularity contest with Canadian viewers.
I don't actually think that's necessarily a bad thing either, it's good to have a new kind of hybrid game. It's probably how I'd like BBUK to position the format if they wouldn't be up for taking on the US one completely. A compromise of the two would suffice.
