How you win is vital. Being yourself and good natured are the best tactics. Targetting other HMs is nasty and shouldnt be rewarded. Shows desperation.

And from a purely gameshow perspective he doesnt need the prize money either!

Yes, it's a social popularity show - and if the British public had any sense, the most popular housemates would be the most influential/entertaining/gameplaying ones. Because they hold the series together, and without them, it would fail. Simple as that really. Non-entities that are just 'nice' like Rachel Rice shouldn't win for the simple fact that they haven't contributed anything, really.

No, he might not need it, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't be allowed to win it. I don't need to eat cake to live but I still want it.
