## Houseguest Analyses

### Winner: Harland

"One hell of a masterful social game. From not being nominated until Night 6 (last in the game to get nominated), To getting Alek to backdoor Jayla, and getting Andrea to use the POV on you in the Final 4. You definitely deserved this win especially after your jury management and we'll delivered jury speech. One hell of a game that id love to see back again sometime."

### Runner-up: Lily

"You deserve a lot more praise than you received. You set yourself up well to never be a target and won comps that helped send Peyton and Andrea home who were definitely going to win the game. You downfall was poor jury management. Not messaging people on the jury back definitely gave them a bad taste in their mouth about you. I'd love to bring you back if you would be a bit more talkative to the jury members next time."

### 3rd: Andrea

"I had very little expectations for you going into the game with not knowing much about Big Brother, but you shattered those and then some. You teamed up with Peyton which was the best shield you could have and you won much needed comps. Your downfall was just losing the Final HOH to Lily. If you beat her in the Tie Breaker you would have been this Season's Winner. Love to bring you back to see you continue to grown in the game."

### 4th: Emily

"You came into this game with a few connections and that helped you in the beginning. Those connections eventually didn't help you, but in fact hurt your game. The way you were able to rebound after that and survive the constant blows from Peyton and company when it was obvious you were the bigger threat compared to Trenton and Alek. You then won probably the most important POV that sent Peyton out of the game. Your mistake was just not having the best social bonds compared to others left in the game. I'd love to bring you back for another game!"

### 5th: Peyton

"You really owned this game for 6 out of 7 Nights. You were great at comps and had loyal people around you in Andrea and Jayla. Obviously the biggest mistake was just winning to much and taking out Trenton instead of Emily. I thought it was pretty obvious that Emily was slightly better and probably should have gone even before Alek. Still you played AWESOME and I loved your DRs. You won My Favorite Player Award so I hope that means something."

### 6th: Trenton

"You played a good social game that just got outplayed by Peyton's comp ability. You could have easily taken this game if you could pull out a much a needed win. What made you a target was winning a POV early on and saving Alek which was Peyton's target. You put yourself on his radar after that. Love to bring you back because you really are pure entertainment."

### 7th: Alek

"You looked to be set to win this thing by Night 3, but then you won HOH and revealed your hand which now made you show your hand. For the type of game you were playing it was too early to win a comp. If you were gonna make a move against Peyton you should have at least nominated him. Your social game w5/8 still able to save you the following round, but you got the boot when you were now the most expendable to others in the game. I'd like to bring you back with the same style of game just played like you were the first 3 Nights."

### 8th: Dom

"You play a much slower social like game. Your biggest mistake was just overvaluing how connected you were with the majority. You weren't as connected to others as Trenton. I think if you were more vocal on moves to make and when to do them you may have stayed longer. Love to bring you back sometime."

### 9th: Jayla

"One of the easiest people to root for in this game. Seeing your enjoyment of playing each night was fun to watch. You being aligned with the season's comp beast didn't help. Your downfall was literally Peyton using the POV on Andrea who was the third in your alliance and you being second in that group got nominated in replace of her. I'd love to bring you back now that you see where you went wrong."

### 10th: Nick

"I had EXTREMELY high hopes for you, but this season you earned the "BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE SEASON" Award. You were set with some connections going in, and your strong comp ability. All you really needed to do was talk to more people and sit back for the first 3-4 Nights and your comp ability could have honestly won it for you at the end. Sadly you won the first HOH and took out a guy who didn't talk to a lot of people. You then became a target because you were good at comps and your social game was put on blast when you let Emily backdoor Hunter who you were also working with. Being there 50% of the time also didn't help your cause. Still a good player that I wouldn't mind bringing back if you can promise 100% activity."

### 11th: Hunter

"You played a decent game and having a connection or two going in definitely helped. Unlike Simon you issue was your over posting. I know a good amount of people didn't like the constant posting which made you an easy target early on. Your 8-0 Vote was definitively not done just by Emily but people wanting you out and being AFK didn't help either. I'd love to have you back when you're available to play again (:"

### 12th: Simon

"You were one of the only ones who came into the game knowing nothing about Big Brother. Your biggest downfall was just not talking to enough people and not talking enough early on in the season. You were very well liked for the times you did talk and I enjoyed your presence in the game. I'd love to have you back now that you know a bit more about the game."
