Having Josh at 20 Ethanimale is seething 😤 🤣

[@gersondiaz2451]

Ethanimale would be someone to put Josh in top 10 😂

[@nathanghisolfo5537]

Dan being at #1 on this list gives me life. This is a very solid list and even if I disagree with a few picks, I respect your justifications.

[@khntou4178]

After BBCan10, I feel like I'm willing to reward versatility and playing from the bottom over just complete dominance. Players like Cody, Hayden, Drew, and Derrick make it to the end never facing any real adversity and I doubt their ability to climb back to the top if their power structure ever crumbles. Yeah, you can give them credit for making a power structure that would never crumble in the first place, but how commendable is that strategy when you're Cody who's forming mega-alliances months before the show or Derrick recognizing how fundamentally broken BOB is which turns into the same comp beast, pawn vs target strategy week-to-week. Even some players in the 20-10 range displayed more facets of their strategy and ability to respond to specific threats than those players tbh.

[@TheCrusherofice]

Exactly!! I totally agree, BBCAN10 made me totally respect a players who face adversity and still get to the end and win. I genuinely think putting Derrick on ANY season other than 16 (and obviously 22), he would NOT do that well. I don't think he's a bad player, but he got so lucky with having a cast that had no sense of autonomy.

[@khntou4178]

@@TheCrusherofice yea I agree there is some luck that plays into Derrick's strategy being succesful, namely the pathetic opposition on Bb16. Worth noting that the BOB section of BB17 was actually fun to watch cause the cast was generally a lot more strategically savvy. Imagine Derrick trying to form the mega-alliance on 17 cause Vanessa would destroy that power structure the first chance she gets. I wasn't sure what Meranian Review was getting at in saying that Derrick's strategy has been repeated over and over again when really we're only seen it twice thus far. Paul and Tyler never actually form mega-allainces - Tyler kept infiltrating the opposing side into making the worst moves while Paul maintained personal relationships while not formerly making a large alliance. Derek's strategy worked on Bb22 cause Cody had months to make the conncections for his mega alliance while the Cookout of Bb23 were dedicated to the moral mission rather than replicaring whatever strategy Derrick made.

[@phobiccobra991]

Well I mean Dan and kinda Andy are in the top 5 so he does see that playing from the bottom, facing adversity and then winning as a good thing

[@dougierichardson484]

LOL Drew lost his early game alliance, and was in an awkward and unstable spot most of the way. He is a weird example. Hayden faced adversity. He was stuck in Final 4 with basically a showmance (Lane and Britney) who take each other to the end over him. It seems you are implying Dan faced a ton of adversity but literally the only adversity he faced was the early weeks being a bit on the outs due to Brian, but even then there were others (Steve, Angie, Brian) in much worse spots than him which gave him plenty of time to navigage that situation safely.

[@dougierichardson484]

@@phobiccobra991 Andy was NEVER on the bottom. He was part of the dominant alliance the first half of the game with Amanda in charge, and used her as a shield, while being in a total power position due to his connection with her. Then he took over as leader of the Exterminators alliance that got rid of Amanda and usurped the whole power structure. He was never once in a bad spot. Even his own week on the block vs Aaryn he stayed in a unanimous vote.

[@cowboy7597]

I think Steve is drastically underrated. He understands positioning better than 99% of big brother players and that can’t be understated

[@cameronholmes5590]

I really love Steve’s winning game, if I ever played Big Brother this is the game I would try to replicate

[@OakInOasis]

Having Boogie even above #17 is just, absolutely brain breaking. On BB2, the pawn literally leaves because him and his side of the house piss everyone off so much. On BB7, he legit played to lose with Dr. Will and trying to get him to the end. And finally, on BB14, he legit actively allied with a social pariah and still pissed everyone off. This is just, complete child's play.

[@franmartinez1682]

Absolutely this, the fact that people still believe that he deserved to win next to Erika is laughable

[@OakInOasis]

@@franmartinez1682 Can't really say either deserved to win over Janelle, Will, Reyes, James- the whole 9 yards. As Boogie played for Will to win, Erika played for him to win.

[@karson779]

@@OakInOasis clearly nobody deserved to win as much as chicken george

[@dcrggreensheep]

Boogie is good too. Will didn't carry Boogie. Boogie made some strategic moves and convinced more people to do Chilltown's bidding.

[@dougierichardson484]

@@franmartinez1682 I am not high on Boogie but I don't think Erika deserved to win over him. Her entire game was one impressive move, convincing Janelle to boot Will. That is literally her entire game, the rest basically sucks. And booting Danielle was super dumb and indefensible and rightly lost her any respect from the jury. Booting Chicken George at 5 was also super dumb considering he was the only one she beats in a jury vote at that point, or literally in the entire jury phase. She knew Janelle, Will, Boogie all destroy her in a jury vote and still sent Chicken George out to make herself totally unwinnable and didn't care. Chilltown ran that whole season, even if Will was clearly the stronger half of the duo.

[@nizzle428]

great list. the only big change i would make is moving steve up to around the 8-12 range. he planned out how he wanted to play before the season, executed his plan near perfectly, and communicated his gameplay super well to the jury. as long as he survives the early game, he probably does well every time

[@khntou4178]

Totally agree, comparing him to players like Ian and Cody (16) who knowingly brought the best player of the season to the end out of complete loyalty, Steve recognized who the best player was very early on when everyone thought it was Shelly. He knew how to adapt by latching on to Vanessa and put on an act of fake loyalty until the final 3. I kind of doubt his consistency cause since he's already shown how slimy of a player he can be which would affect his trust level on a return, so I might just barely leave him out of the top 10.

[@lamb9770]

so his plan was to have zero game play for the majority of the time? kind of a cop out

[@whats_holden_up]

Steve is not never good socially if we're being completely honest. If your own ally which was Johnny Mac says your game is a wreck then your game is a wreck. He also benefitted from having some luck in comps. Ex: Final 9 and 4 HOH, you could even argue Final HOH but I don't take that one away from him. Steve is a solid player but he's not a very good winner

[@yaboi912]

Whenever we get MeranianReview content it’s a good day.

[@MrMixedGamer]

Way too low on Steve, and way too high on Kaycee imo. Steve was in good with almost everybody at final 9 which is more can be said for a lot of other people above him, he didn’t have to depend on winning comps back to back with his shownance like Michie for example. Kaycee also gets very lucky with the hacker twist happening, and also her happening to ally with (one of) the best modern big brother players, and she’s also really messy on the challenge as well so imo there’s a lot more to dislike than like with her

[@khntou4178]

I agree with you on Steve being way too low, but Kaycee managing to get to the finals the 3 times she's been on the Challenge is an insane feat. I know that it's a completely different show, but considering how eh, emotionally unstable the players tend to be, it's crazy how Kaycee is able to maintain great relationships all throughout her seasons. It confirms to me that Kaycee is one of the best social players ever on Big Brother. Even though her strategic thinking is really lacking and she does get really lucky with the players she gets paired with every time she's on TV, she's always gonna rank highly on lists of players likely to win on a return for me.

[@devondonato4609]

Kaycee isn’t messy on the challenge

[@raheemfielder-bey998]

Comps matter so much more in modern bb tho 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@birdinflight3861]

Heck yeah this looks like a good one

[@bluedevils481991]

I think one thing that is understated about Dan’s game is how much of a character he is. The only reason i bring that up is because big brother is first and foremost a show and meant to entertain people. The twists often benefit those that america likes. Derrick even has mentioned recently on his podcast that he would hide who he was targeting from producers to help remove the threat of a twist saving them if they were a fan favorite. Dan is great in all these aspects and on top of that is likely to get the luck to go his way too

[@WilsonReviews]

I look at Maggie the same way I look at Brian Heidik. She played a dominant game, but I have no confidence in her repeating that win

[@the_fd_180]

I mean why would she? What kind of season would she be in All Stars or All Winners?

[@whats_holden_up]

I wouldn't say her game was dominant. It was good but it wasn't mind blowing by any means. She's not a top 10 winner.

[@jimothynimajneb622]

I’ve watched this video multiple times and very much enjoy it. I agree with the majority of your placements; the top 5 specifically I don’t think I’d have any differently at this current point. However, you seem to point out when analyzing Dr. Will’s BB2 game that he was always the second option to go home and if there were a veto he likely doesn’t win the game. While this may be true, the veto hadn’t even been invented yet, so I don’t see this as an extremely valid criticism.

[@MvpNew]

I knew he's going to say Rachel was going to be his worst winner 😂🤣 this video is going to be great lol.

[@patrickcallahan9206]

let’s go been waiting

[@sfxperi]

Solid list

[@Ohnoitsfonzo]

Great takes! If I were to play and win I imagine my game would be most like Nicole F’s

[@themasonary]

*Spoilers for BBCAN 10* Seeing Kevin dismantle hermons structure really got me thinking about if Derek’s strategy is super imposing or are enough people just not going against the grain now days.

[@davidtaylortv9674]

People jus don’t go against the grain

[@finneganduffy2731]

I also think Derrick is a better player than hermon so that helps keep the structure together

[@christopherjohnson1873]

"Jordan would have been booted at 6 without Pandora's" is an over-emphasized argument imo. It's one thing if someone would have been the first boot without a twist, but if Jordan really were booted at 6 (and only because of a Rachel veto), that wouldn't have been too bad of a game.

[@the_fd_180]

Everytime Jordan went up she was always safe the target was always Jeff. Oh shoot your talking about her second season .

[@FellDownTheCornHole]

Jordan’s kind of like Nicole Franzel but without the strategic mind.

[@justinguidroz9659]

In this list you mention how juries vote for more active players now. Knowing that, Andy’s win would be near unrepeatable in the recent seasons. He plays to passively. The only way he wins is if he can bring someone to the end with him that everyone could beat. I don’t think he should be as high as he is on this list if it is based on how they would do in other appearances.

[@TripleBBBBB]

Andy is a very active player

[@travisstrong5389]

One negative of Jackson is I think the only one of the Final 6 he beats in a jury vote is probably Holly. He might beat Nicole but not sure, probably loses to Christie, for sure loses to Tommy or Cliff.

[@zb6070]

maggie turned a house that was 6 sov vs 5 friendship with maggie as target 1 to 5 friends vs 3 sov with james on an island by himself. She owned the game and arguably the strongest player. Also, it was not the soverign 6. Rachelle really liked maggie and howie would go along with rachel.

[@chase-tt1xz]

Something that you missed with Andy is the fact that he was HoH during top 4 😂

[@WilsonReviews]

Ian is an Adam Klein like player imo.

[@thecamishere4344]

I personally would put Cody over Derrick as he has been shown as more consistent than Derrick especially since he evolved from his bb16 game where I feel like Derrick was benefited from twist more

[@jasmine1stan857]

Cody’s alliance won every hoh ever and I don’t think Cody was controlling every single person leaving like derrick

[@randycrawford1132]

Derrick controlled Cody are you kidding

[@the_fd_180]

But Derrick was never nominated even in the battle of the block. Pretty impressive with a bigger cast.

[@MalikProductionsMax]

After seeing him play in the traitors, it lowers how high I would rank him amongst big brother players

[@theanalysis27]

Steve gotta be WAY higher

[@tswanson7354]

I might not agree with a few rankings but Dan being #1 is spot on.

[@stephenlevine3116]

For your reasoning I fully agree Dan is a clear number 1. I will say though In a single season run Derrick was the best by far IMO. Never dealt with the block until the final 3 and even then his position was secure Regardless of eho win the final HOH. But sadly I don't think he could ever play again. I feel if he returned he would be gunned after immediately.

[@totaldramatyler4484]

Hey Dr Will made it all the way to the Final 4, with such a huge target on his back, and Dan made the freaking Finals. If Derrick is as good as he is compared to be, he'll last a very long time in the game.

[@jackmcg0]

And that’s what makes Dan and Will to me so good. Even if Will didn’t play nearly as well in BB2 as Dan did in BB10, they were both seen as the greatest or minimum second greatest players ever when they returned for their second seasons. And despite that perception, they still dominated the game.

[@tdt8854]

andy was hoh at F4 so even if mccrae won veto he still wouldn’t have won. and i’m pretty sure mccrae takes andy to the end of he wins final hoh

[@xizzerinc.4667]

I will be different than the haters of this list ("Oh, this person is too high. Oh, Will is not high enough.") This list is perfect to me. I fully support and agree with your reasonings and feel that there is not a single error anywhere. I ESPECIALLY love your justification for Dan at #1: how he has demonstrated how he IS able to overcome adversity and still make it to the end while Derrick and Cody, while playing more impressive single games overall, never had clear instances of overcoming adversity. So very good list and my favorite thus far!

12:09 without the Coup D'Tat, because Russell goes out in 9th place, Michelle still wins F8 HOH, puts up Chima and Natalie, Jordan wins veto more than likely, Chima still gets 8th. Jordan gets F7 HOH, because she won HOH and veto in that week, puts up Jessie and Lydia/Natalie. Either way Jessie probably goes at 7. Jeff wins F6 HOH, puts up Lydia and either Natalie or Kevin. Jeff wins veto, and likely doesn't use it in this case. Lydia goes at 6 if Natalie is on the block, and the rest of the season plays out as normal. If Kevin goes at F6, then Michelle wins the F5 HOH and Veto, Natalie and Lydia go up, if Natalie goes, then Either Jordan or Jeff win HOH since Lydia seemed to be incapable of winning an individual comp, then Lydia goes home at 4. Michelle more than likely wins final HOH, and takes Jordan. Michelle wins with the votes of Russell, Jessie, and probably Chima, Lydia, and Natalie. If Lydia goes at F5, then Natalie puts up Jeff and Michelle, Michelle wins the F4 veto, and more than likely takes out Jeff. Jordan wins final HOH, if she keeps Natalie, she wins, if she takes Michelle, she loses 5-2. With every possible scenario, either Jordan or Michelle win without the Coup D'Tat

Jackson wasn’t a dominant figure. He literally blew up his alliance for no reason. If you think he’s a top tier winner due to comp wins you need to say the same for Kaycee.

He was invincible because he won comps, and he needed those comps all due to himself. Had he not blown up his alliance he wouldn't have had to win those comps and not be targeted for the rest of the game.

Dustin gave lots of indications of why he was a threat, and the whole house was not happy when he took the rewards in the POV. I think Dick could have saved himself, but we will never know. Not everyone has the personality to play a Dan or Andy or Derrick kind of game. Dick is a self avowed assh#ole and instead of trying to be something he isn't, he embraced it and used it as strategy. One thing I liked about Dick was that he didn't go behind other people's backs. If he had a beef with you, he confronted you face to face. As confrontational as that is, and intimidating, the other guests in the house knew that even being a a hole, he was the least likely to be scheming and bad mouthing them behind their back. I am not convinced that he would have left without Eric's vote. If I were a houseguest and had solid relationships, I would want to sit next to him in final 2. In fact I think Danielle is the only of the final 5 that he could beat. Even Zach might have beaten him. You also can't deny that he won comps when he had to, but if Dany wasn't in the house with him, he could have gone home much sooner. I would put him at 15. I also disagree on Ian. He managed to come across as non threatening until the end game, he knew when to abandon the Boogie Frank boat and correctly chose the best alliance. By the time he was perceived as a threat he was able to win competitions when he needed to, and nobody on the jury disliked him or felt burned by him except Frank. He took out Boogie, and Boogie didn't see it coming .For me, Ian was a joy to watch, I would put him at 8. Boogie was a terrible winner. He would have lost against Will or Janelle. I would put him at 18. He was so arrogant in S14 he thought Ian was his disposable puppy, and seeing Ian flip it on him was one of my favorite BB moments of all time. Maggie only won because the others in her alliance were idiots. Derrick and Cody never really had to play under pressure and the rest of the cast on their seasons weren't exactly the smartest. I would like to see Andy in a less toxic season. All he had to do was sit back and let them all self destruct. In a lot of cases, the last boot is the one that should have won the game.

[@helenkellerstampon]

Disagree on your take on Dick. He didn’t use him being an asshole as his strategy to be taken as a goat. He used that for his daughter just in case they ended up on the block together he would’ve been the one to leave. Dick loses against anybody else on the cast and the only reason why he won was his daughter was a fake bitch

He was able to convince his housemates every week not to vote him out, even though they hated him. Also, "I can't find an individual to hate, because I hate you all??!!!" in BB7 and they still vote to keep him??? More like Modern winners wouldn't have survived the ORIGINAL game!!!! And Jun being ranked below Derrick and Cody????!!!! Hahaaaaaaaa, did we watch the same show??? Jun would have outplayed both those guys and was a brilliant, BRILLIANT strategist and brought the most hated person in the house to Final 2, which solidified her win. Maggie bonded her group and got her alliance to do her dirty work every week and convinced Howie to turn on his OWN ALLIANCE???!!!! Should be Will at the Top , Dan #2, though it's always been debatable. I've always been a huge fan of Dan. And definitely Jun over Derrick and Cody . Definitely a recency biased list.

People need to chill with the Nicole overhype nowadays. I agree that Nicole is a great player, I’d rank her 7.5 out of 10 but people seem to totally forget that she won on her second try against a newbie cast and still almost lost in very close vote. People underrated the advantage being a veteran is and having a game of experience over the mortify of the houseguests. People also really need to take her bb22 game into account. For the majority of the game she was playing for Cody and was willing going to take him to the final 2 and lose to him.

What a joke.

[@thecamishere4344]

Nope. Kim as a winner is #1 and Tony as a Survivor player is #1. Rob is #2 as a winner and I think #4 as a player

[@TripleBBBBB]

That is not sexist when we have seen paul get second in his runner up ranking so clearly not sexist and boston rob DOMINATED 2 entire seasons name 5 survivor players that have done that then u can come at him. Maggie is a worse player than her game due to her bad jury management and her bad comp ability. She really good strategically and like half good socially to where she bonds well with people in her alliance but terrible with people out of her alliance. Jun never had the control that boston rob did because it was a partnership with Allison and she did do a lot of the leg work with comps and also made people actively bitter so boston rob is clearly better in dominating 2 seasons and he still got what he wanted in redemption Island in getting the scenario what was best. Also nicole F is not a dominant player. She never made many decisions in the beginning of bb 18 so yeah I don't see it sexist. People overate Jun she's good but I have a hard time winning in a season without a allison figure that is hated more than her so yeah you just don't like the list just say that and not sexist. Also he acknowledge that rob had zero jury chances in his runner up rankings.

[@travisstrong5389]

@@TripleBBBBB The fact is if he bases a lot of his ranking on jury chances, then both Rob's runner up and winner games MUST be lower if he was being remotedly objective. Rob has one of the worst win equity of all runner ups in All Stars, and he probably has the worst jury win chances of any winner in Survivor history on Redemption Island, in that he is probably the only winner ever who beats nobody except the 2 he is against (who are also the 2 biggest goats in history probably) in a jury vote. So to rank him right on top of both rankings, yet talk about jury chances so often in this video, especialy dumping on womens game is a double standard and sexist. And you show the same inconsistency praising Rob who had almost no jury win scenarios in both seasons he made the end, and only stood a shot against huge goats like Philip, Natalie T, and maybe Alicia Callaway, but criticizing Jun for simply not having many jury win scenarios, the exact same thing that is true of Rob. Makes no sense. As for Jun jointly dominating with Alison I agree on that, but she used Alison perfectly to her own benefit which is impeccable game play, and then again Rob only jointly dominated with Amber on All Stars. He could not have done as well without Amber, and vice versa, so no difference there. In fact I could see Jun succeeding without Alison more easily than Rob without Amber, except maybe she can't win a jury vote without Alison as her F2 opponent, but beyond that. She is the one who used the men in the house (besides Nathan), not Alison, and she had stronger ties to Erika and Jack than Alison did. Alison mostly only contributed her comp wins and her having Nathan and maybe David in her pocket for a bit. Rob solely dominated a lot of the strategy on Redemption Island, but that is mainly since it was a collection of sheep, misfits, and idiotic no brain players (and yet even in this horrific cast he still loses a jury vote to nearly all of them, showing how vastly overrated his winning game is by some people). And Maggie totally dominated all strategy of the Big Brother 6 house, heck even more than Rob on RI if anything. She not only totally controlled every choice from her side/alliance, like Rob mostly did, but unlike rob she convinced the other side to not target her and keep targetting lesser threats (Jennifer, lol) instead, and to nominate 2 of their own. And you talk about her so called bad social game or jury management, but she still beats WAY more people in a jury vote than Rob does, who beats only Philip and Natalie, and nobody else. So Maggie's jury management was obviously still far better than Rob's was. And her social and strategic bonds with the other side were still better than Rob's as not only were some willing to vote for her (unlike Rob if he was with anyone but historic goats Phil and Natalie) but she was able to work with them at her convenience, and get them to do things she wanted at different points, despite barely interacting with them, something Rob could not do at all with any Zapatera members, and would have been fucked if Ometepe lost 1 more challenge or either Andrea/Matt had flipped at the merge (or Ralph used his idol better). Literally your only argument in Rob's favor vs Maggie is comp wins. As for your Paul point, that is further proof of my point of him being sexist since 2nd is far too high for Paul in the runner up rankings. He did not dominate BB18 strategically at all, unlike BB19. And made an idiotic final choice in brining Nicole Franzel to the end instead of giant goat James. And lastly never makes the end without Victor being brought back into the house after being voted out TWICE. He in no way merits a ranking that high. He no way should be above someone like Danielle who also had bad jury management, like Paul did, but unlike Paul completely dominated the strategy of that season, you know your basis for defending Boston Rob's ranking.
