Oh, end of....his masters voice

Andy is not a jerk ...and being isolated by the others makes him lonely not a loner....not same thing at all.

He has survived endless rounds of eviction despite housemates attempts to get rid of him. He has forged friendships with people who are very different to himself. He has gone against the status quo and the house to stand by his convictions and has found favour with ex housemates who've now seen what we have. In my opinion that makes him very adept and skilled in finding his way through an environment that's made more easy for the Ryans of this world than it is for the Andys of this world. Not remotely, to quote you, boring, unlikeable or a jerk.

If game player is a negative thing in the eyes of most then I would say he isnt then because I only see mostly positive traits in Andy.
But in terms of surviving the big brother experience I would say he's made a better fist of it then most because he hasn't thrown his principles away in the process.
He leaves with a life time commitment from the person he loves and with his integrity....if he goes this week he leaves not at the decision of the public...so he is a winner what ever the outcome....the opposite of what you term as one of life's losers.
