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.
Ummm...no.

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.
