There are different types - scheming to win, scheming to avoid noms (Lisa), to be popular in the house, to avoid ridicule on the outside, to show off 'talents', to hide things about yourself....so many different connotations.

Vash may have one, but I genuinely believe it is more about him wanting to look OK to the outside world, while being true to himself (most HMs want at least this), and more lately avoid embarassment for the girlfriend thing - rather than trying to win - he doesn't give a ***** about winning and if anybody cannot see that yet after the last few weeks then...

....and I don't think he thinks he's gonna win (despite what he said in DR). So, this is why he had the dilemma of whether to walk out. If he had a gameplan (to win - which is how most define it), he wouldn't be acting like a bit of a t*t just before finals night.

He has been ridiculed in last few days with the HL task - he had tried to dismiss this from his mind - but BB brought it back to haunt him. So, he's now trying damage limitation and feeling embarassed (normal human reaction)....end of.
