GM was at least funny a few times (okay maybe it was exactly one time but her reading Amanda for filth for like 40 minutes straight is A Moment.) When Aaryn wasn't being a racist she was being a boring ass gamebot doing all the legwork for an alliance that didn't give a **** about her.

True, but I would also argue that GinaMarie's contribution to the game was entirely useless for the first 8 weeks. She really was the biggest floater of the season up until the final few weeks, she had no impact on any strategy or decision making that took place, even her HOH week was largely controlled by Aaryn. At least Aaryn was involved in the game and helped create drama and excitement which I found more interesting than a few one liners from GM in the diary room. At the time I agreed that GM calling Amanda out on her final night was glorious, but looking back I think GM was actually worse than Amanda so the more times I watch that video, the less funnier it gets and the more hypocritical I think GM looks.

I mean Aaryn's contributions to the game were like... winning a few HOHs in spite of production and then doing all the legwork for an alliance of four that just used her and abused her. I don't think that's particularly interesting but what do I know. She's just a cookie cutter racist and there's nothing particularly fascinating about her villainy, she's just clearly not a good person. I also think that Aaryn was the primary reason for the house being such a toxic hellhole because she was so comfortable with saying and doing extremely racist ****. Like obviously all BBUS casts are scum but I think someone like Andy was really just going with the flow with some of the **** he said since the tone was clearly set by Aaryn and others.

That being said, I think it's extremely arbitrary to figure out who was worse between Aaryn/Amanda/GM because they all suck but with GM I can at least find like... the slightest amount of pity since she's a tragic simpleton and just sad. Nick didn't give a **** about her, you could hear her throwing up her dinners through her mic a few times, she'd sobbing meltdowns about how little she's accomplished in her life, she's 32 with a tongue ring... it's all there. When Aaryn wasn't being racist she was being ****ing boring.

I would agree that Aaryn wasn't as great of a player as people love to make out (Even the competitions she won were competitions largely based on luck than strategy or endurance) but I still think she made a big contribution to the game. It was Aaryn who won the HOH on week 2 and declared war on Helen/Elissa which made it all the more thrilling to watch as Helen/Elissa campaigned for their safety and successfully backdoored Nick which was probably one of the best moments of the season. It was Aaryn who struck up the deal with Helen for her safety on week 4 leading to Kaitlin's eviction, and then got rid of Howard and Judd. She also entered the 3AM alliance and got rid of Helen, and it was also Aaryn who was the cause behind some of the great arguments of the season such as the wine argument, the bed fight and the argument with Elissa on Kaitlin's eviction week. I would also say Aaryn was more tactless than GinaMarie which made her a better villain as the other houseguests truly couldn't stand her whereas they didn't mind GinaMarie.

While I don't think Aaryn's contributions to the game were always smart, in fact I didn't really like any of the decisions she made, they were still contributions that were interesting to watch, i.e it was compelling to watch whether she'd renominate Spencer against Helen or backdoor Amanda. She was someone to root against in the game which made it more fun when rooting for the likes of Elissa. GinaMarie's only contribution until week 9 was getting rid of Candice, but tbh that just pissed me off more than any of Aaryn's contributions as I was a Candice fan, and her comment during Candice's eviction about her mother was way below the belt.

Aaryn’s first HoH was given to her by SCUMBAG Jeremy

Her second one was literally just based on luck

Her third one was just luck as well

and i haven’t got as far as her fourth one

Yep, the 'Aaryn being a great competitor' thing is very overhyped in my book. In fact, one of the reasons they kept her in over Kaitlin is because they thought she was weak.

even when she’s not being racist, she’s just annoying and whines about the slightest thing
