It comes down to this...
the goal is to get to the end and win a majority of the jury votes.
Right now, K/P/A/R/J are the only ones out of the original 14 who have a chance to win....no matter how great any of the other's social game was or how good they were at comps, they did not succeed.
Out of the 5 left, Rachel is the ONLY one who really is a competitor in the challenges..but that isnt all there is to it.
Some people are used to watching physical contests or competitions and wanting the best, the strongest, the most agile to win....those are probably good qualities in sports....and certainly very useful in BB's comps.
However, I would bet ANYONE 100 dollars that Dom would be Adam every time in any challenge but who is still here? Adam!
Negotiating, being charming, KNOWING WHEN TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT are just as important in BB as ANY physical quality.
This aint sports...this is Big Brother.
To treat this as some locked down sporting event is to miss quite a bit of what this show is about.
In my opinion.
You're right Albert, because each season has different people, you can't eliminate the human factor. As Jeff said, during JJ's last season he had to campaign hard for Jordan, and a lot of people voted for spiteful reasons. You can't overlook the emotional factor of people... If this were sports, it would be like figure skating, where the judging was not always based on performace...
I also think luck plays a big part in this game, for anyone who has ever played and won. Some people sit back, but not because they were smart, but because they simply
CAN'T win competitions based on their lack of talent compared to the other players. Therefore they are
UNABLE to make moves...
Other people sit back, and don't make decisions, because they
CAN'T as they do not have the power, or the numbers. They are simply percieved as less of a threat. I'm sorry, but to me, that is luck, and shows no form of gameplay, whatsoever!
That said, indeed having luck, can sometimes be better than playing the best game.
