Danielle without any question. Danielle was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, and also hilarious and likable. She definitely should have won.
Danielle was brilliant. |

I meant Danielle from BB3, not the anorexic blonde bimbo from bb8.

I voted Alison. Everyone always throws Danielle a pity party for a bitter jury, but I think Alison got stiffed for the exact same reason. She played a better game, competition-wise and socially, from back to front. She stabbed the right people in the back at the right time and managed to make it to the F2 never having been nominated ONCE. Her only vote came from Nathan. Dana, Justin, Erika, and Robert (not so sure about Jack and Jee) were definitely bitter about things Alison did to them that were just good gameplay (Alison avoided getting evicted by Dana then evicted her the next week, she lied to Justin and got him to look bad in front of the house, she singlehandedly evicted Erika at F4 after winning the last veto, and singlehandedly evicted Robert at F3 after winning the last HOH).

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sorry but Alison's social game was horrendous, don't try to fool anyone. She's really the Russell Hantz of Big Brother, just without the self-entitlement and disrespect for the game. She'll get to the end all the time, but will never win a Jury vote. And you can't use the bitter Jury argument because every Jury is bitter, that's just the reality of life. Nobody's going to vote 100% unbiased, because everyone's biased, it's human nature. People just use the bitter Jury argument to make their favorite runner-ups look like they were robbed, when in reality they weren't.

Jun and Alison both played smart. The difference was that Jun played nice-smart and Alison played slutty-smart. They had equally effective but very different social games. Just because she acted like a ho doesn't mean she didn't play a shrewd and effective social game. Sure, she got in spats with people, but those were unrelated to strategy and were more based on personal reasons. And I CAN use the bitter jury argument, as a matter of fact. Here's a couple of case studies that prove not all juries are bitter: 1) BB2. Will was the villain of that season - he was undoubtedly the mastermind behind eviction after eviction and he made it to the end by ruthlessly lying and backstabbing. He did much more to inspire ire that Nicole did, yet the jury recognized his gameplay was bulletproof and they rewarded him for it. 2) BB7. Chilltown screwed over literally every member of the jury (Marcellas, Howie, James, Danielle, George, and Janelle) that wasn't Will, and yet even those who were so angry at their evictions at the hands of Chilltown (Howie, James, and Danielle especially) were able to put their feelings aside and vote to reward Mike's role as a member of Chilltown over Erika's nicey-nicey floating strategy. 3) BB10. Think about Dan's relationships with various members of the jury - I'm thinking especially of April, Michelle, Ollie, and Jerry. He either had major fallouts or was responsible for the evictions of each of them, and they all said some awful things about him. But in the end Dan won with a 7-0 vote because EVERYONE on that jury saw that Dan had played a flawless game. There you go. Not all juries are bitter, so thank you very much, I CAN use the bitter jury argument for BB's 3 and 4.

1) The BB2 Jury was bitter against Nicole, so they voted for Will. That's a major reason why Will got the votes. 2) The BB7 Jury didn't like Erika because she was fake, so they voted for Mike. 3) Renny and Keesha were bitter in the BB10 Jury, Dan got their votes. You can't use bitter Juries as an argument for robbed winners. If you make it to the end and you get the most votes, you deserve to win, you DID win. Every single Juror has voted, at least partially, based on their own personal emotions, that's just human nature. You can't get around that no matter what, it's how people operate. A good winner can play to the emotions of the Jury and foresee who will be angry about being evicted and who will be a good sport and know how to deal with them individually. What you're doing is saying that the BB3 and BB4 Juries were "bitter" because you're upset Danielle and Alison didn't win. In that case, then the BB2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 Juries were bitter as well and Nicole, Cowboy, Ivette, Erika, Daniele, Ryan, Memphis, Natalie, and Lane were all robbed too right?

1) Please explain exactly how and why the BB2 jury was more angry at Nicole than Will, because I definitely don't agree with that assessment. 2) The BB7 jury "not liking Erika" was not because she was fake, it was because she floated. She didn't do anything wrong to anyone, but she never made any big game moves. Mike did, and though that resulted in several evictions, jurors were able to put aside their anger at Chilltown and vote for Mike, who was the deserving winner, though they could have had every right to vote for Erika out of bitterness because they were angry at being played by Chilltown. 3) In BB10, Renny and Keesha may very well have been bitter towards Memphis, but that doesn't change the fact that the jury as a whole put aside its dislike for Dan as a person (and I'm really just talking about April, Michelle, Ollie, and Jerry) and chose to reward him for his gameplay, which was strategically sound but responsible for quite a few evictions. So this argument doesn't make sense. 4) While I understand and see why you believe that if you did win, you deserve to win, you can't honestly think that Lisa played a better game end-to-end than Danielle did. She was nice, and didn't piss anyone off. Those were the only things she did better than Danielle. Besides, the show's producers agree with the bitter jury argument, and how do we know this? Because they created the jury concept the very next season! 5) You seem to be saying that a good player will foresee the emotions other HG's will experience upon eviction and will know how to play off those emotions to come out looking good in that HG's eyes. While that holds true for some winners (Dan especially), neither Lisa nor Jun was strong in that regard - it definitely doesn't hold true universally for all winners. 6) I'm not upset that Alison and Danielle didn't win, but I believe they should have won because I believe they had better gameplay than their F2 opponents. 7) And finally, you're putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about any of the other juries being bitter, and I don't believe that any one of the runner-ups you mentioned was "robbed." I think Ryan would have been a more deserving winner than Adam in BB9, and I think Daniele and Dick were equally deserving of the win in BB8, but for the most part I think juries have been pretty good about awarding the top prize to the right person over the years. So yeah, there's no need to be all condescending and 100% positive that your viewpoint is the one and only correct one. Nor is there any need for you to invent pieces of my argument and then put words in my mouth.

Kent/Krista/Monica were all extremely bitter at Nicole because she backstabbed them. They never really had deals with Will so they didn't feel betrayed by him. I always say the BB2 jury was bitter against Nicole but no one ever agrees with me. Which surprises me, because if you rewatch it it's clear after all their evictions that those three would have voted for Charles Manson to win before they ever voted for Nicole.

My ignorance as perceived by you, I think you mean.
And I find it ironic that you claim you're not being condescending and then go on to say "I'm just giving you a much-needed education on how Big Brother works." Seems pretty pedantic and condescending to me. I've seen every episode of every Big Brother season, including BB1. I consider myself very knowledgeable about the game, and it's clear we simply have different ways of interpreting what we see happen in the game. I respect your opinion and I'm not interested in continuing this argument/conversation/discussion/debate/whatever any further because it's clear neither of us are going to convince the other of anything.

As a character I LOVED Ivette, but Maggie was more deserving of the win.
IMO, Danielle, Daniele, Ryan and Natalie were the only ones robbed. Alisons social game was probably the most horrific there has been. |
