"Alison did not "play the best game"" |
I'm sick of hearing that Ali "played the best game". She played a great 2nd place game, but she played poorly if she wants to win 1st place. A major part of BB is to make it to the finals without back-stabbing or making enemies out of the jury memebers. The point of the jury is to hold the finalists accountable for the way they played the game...otherwise they would determine the winner by having one last competition between Jun and Ali, then whoever won that would have "played the best game". But Ali pissed off everyone she is now relying on...that is not smart game playing. If I was on trial, it would not be "good game playing" to piss off the jury.The only way Ali might win is if the jury members adopt this stupid "played the best game" theory and, after spending weeks in that luxuroius jury house, forget that part of their job is to judge the finalists on how they behaved. To avoid this kind of mentality by the jury, the future BB shows should have the jury members vote the minute they get evicted by assigning points to whoever is still left in the house at that time. That way, the longer you stay in the house, the better chance you have of getting points, but if you treated people like crap, then you might not get any points even if you make it to the finals. This would create a better balance of forming alliances and being well liked and sneaky, instead of creating a situation where 2 horrible people make it to the finals where the jury has no choice but to vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

Alison was able to save herself everytime she had to. That is alot about winning this game. If you are too likeable people want you out because you are competition. And Alison was smart enough to take Jun with her to the end. Jun also has enemies on the jury. Alison would not have been smart if she had taken someone better liked. But she has a very good chance of winning this.

">The only way Ali might win >is if the jury members >adopt this stupid "played the >best game" theory "Honestly, that's the thing about the end that most people don't get (and why many reality contestants who get onto these shows lose). There is no right way to play the game or judge how to choose the winner. They assume that everyone has the same criteria as what makes a good "winner" as they do. (Or that their criteria is clearly the best) But that's not the case. Your job is to evaluate what criteria your fellow contestants are going to use to pick a winner and then do your best in order to fit that criteria while booting them out. (Hint: Most players also value the way they played--a person who plays with "integrity" will vote with the player who they believed was the most trustworthy, a schemer will often vote for the best schemer, etc.) Both Ali and Jun were good players, imho because they did this. The fact that the board thinks the vote is going to be fairly close shows that they both did the best they could according to the criteria given. If even the audience can see a landslide vote coming (Like we did in BB2 and BB3), then you made a mistake somewhere along the way. As much as I personally don't like it, most reality shows where voting is involved are going to come down to: A.)The lesser of two evils. Or B.)One really good player who has it in the bag and the one person who he dragged along and is going to get blasted in the finals. Survivor 2 is really the exception to the rule where both people who made it to the end were well liked by the jury--and the one person who had the choice to take the unlikeable player didn't take it.
