Now that I've finally watched every season of BBUSA (apart from Season 1 but that was a different format) I thought I'd start a thread to see who people think are the overall best players.

Here's my list:

1. Dr. Will


Will Kirby has to be number one, he is without a doubt the smartest, wittiest, most strategic player in the history of Big Brother and he does it all with charm and humour. In BB2 practically everybody wanted him out in Week 2 and by manipulating, lying, deceiving and charming he made it all the way to the final two and won the game. Then in All-stars he was the prime target, especially going in with his Chilltown alliance member Boogie yet once again he managed to lie and manipulate his way into the final four, he just let himself down at the last hurdle.He got all his competition evicted by manipulating others to actually be the ones to evict them. A player worthy of the title 'the puppet master'.

2. Danielle


Once again another player worthy of their title, which this time is "greatest player to never win Big Brother". Danielle played the perfect game in BB3, her secret alliance with Jason was beautifully constructed and she played a major role in the evictions of many of the other strong players in that season. She made it to the final two and was absolutely robbed when the housemates in the jury gave Lisa the win over her, they took it too personal and unlike the housemates in BB2 who voted for the best player, they voted by emotions. In All-stars she also played a pretty good game, didn't make it as far because people already knew she was a powerful force, but she still had a good run.

3. Janelle


In BB6 Janelle was the stand-out player, she was the underdog and she managed to pull a strong alliance together, she dominated in competitions and made some brilliant strategic moves. Also she never lied to my knowledge, she stuck to her word while her enemies the Nerd Herd kept preaching how they were the "good people" and they "never lied", yet they were doing the most backstabbing in the house. And that's the thing in BB, it's okay to lie but when you are pretending that you don't lie and being all self-righteous then it's just annoying. She was the rightful winner of BB6 and should've been in the final two.
In All-stars I thought she was a weak player and I mean from a strategic stand-point. She made lousy decisions and also lied but said that she didn't which was what the Nerd Herd did, she went back on her word to James and then he was made to look like the bad guy, she was manipulated by ChillTown for basically the full game and got her friends evicted because of it (Marcellas, Kaysar, Howie). But when it came to competitions she ruled, something like 4 HOH's and 5 Veto's she was unstoppable, so for that and for her game play in BB6 she is deserved of the title of one of the best players in BBUSA history.

There is more but those are my top three.

I totally agree with Will and Janie, but not Danielle. I think Dani was alot of talk and not enough action.

My picks are definitely Will and Janie, and possibly Evel Dick up there somewhere in the top 5. Allison is another strong player. We just didnt get to see much of that in allstars. Her hatred of Janie got her an early ticket out.

Jun would be another strong player. I never really liked her, but her strategy worked.

Danielle ? Are you killing me ?

Well in first place it's Will without a simple doubt. Smart, funny and most strategic player.

Janelle in second place, she leaded season 6 and season 7. She's a huge competitor and a great player.

And third place goes to....Evil Dick. Even if he was awful sometimes, he was cheating with everyone and didn't hide the fact he wanted to win for his daughter.

Danielle was the best player to never win Big Brother as said by many past housemates, including Will. She played the perfect game in Season 3! She got people kicked out like Will did in Season 7, she had a brilliant secret alliance and she made it all the way to the end and would've won if it wasn't for the emotional housemates on the jury.

Janelle was a crap player in Season 7 from a strategy point of view, she made really bad decisions, turned on James, left Kaysar, Marcellas and Howie out to dry and was manipulated by Chilltown for about seven weeks.

Alison was another good player, a floater but who knew how to use that position to her advantage and could win competitions when she wanted.

Jun was an awful player!! She was the opposite to Alison, she was a floater but who didn't play well, she just moved with whoever had power but didn't do anything special, she couldn't win comps or anything.

Also Evil Dick was a strong player but would've been out early if it wasn't for Eric and America's Player.

Are you serious? Janelle yes, but Kail and Lisa! Especially Kail who was a really bad player. Lisa was a floater who shouldn't have made it to the final two it should've been Jason.

3.Jen

I really want to see season 3 just to see how Danielle played the game, because I heard a lot about that season and I liked Danielle in All Stars.

Janelle is definitely a brilliant player. She wasn't anywhere near as good in All Stars, mainly because she was so manipulated, but she still made it to 3rd place so she was doing something right. It's just a shame that she did backstab and lie which she was strongly against, but I think she would've been long gone at an early stage hadn't she had done some of those things.

Alison was a brilliant player. People say season 4 wasn't greeat but I personally really enjoyed it, mainly because of Alison. She played all sides extremely well, was very competitive, and very bitchy, all of which made her a great player and an entertaining housemate. She didn't win because the jurors made a personal decision instead of picking the best player, which was clearly Alison.

Will was a great player too, he wasn't great at cometitions at all but he got very far in both seasons he was in and even won in one of them, despite being a huge target and not winning any competitions. He was very manipulative and made great viewing.

[Captain.Remy]

I think there is no doubt about Will being the biggest game-player so far !

[Redmond]

Yeah, Will purposely threw competitions though, he knew that winning them wasn't always to your advantage as has proven many times for other housemates. Will's power came in his charm and his manipulation techniques.
