Well if that's the case Daniel still wins over Sophie as he didn't have to rely on the white room twist to stay in the game.

Pretty sure that Sophie has got this. Especially if voting is free, I can't see that many votes going to Dan. Sophie has been quite likeable.

I think Chad will win. A lot of people saying they want anybody but Mat or Dan to win on social media and the name that has popped up the most as people wanting them to win is Chad.

The reasons given were that he is nice and the most likeable person left.

If chad wins they might as well go back to audience voting for the entire season because obviously strategy won't matter.

The majority of the public are not going to vote based on gameplay but on who is most likeable. Chad has this won hands down, especially with females being the majority of the voters.

Which is another area the production has failed. This is a new BB format to the Australian public, they should have been pushing this point from the get-go. There should have been more Sonia-to-audience interaction where a point like this got reiterated over and over.

Like:

"This year, BigBrother will be a cut-throat, bloodthirsty, lying hate-fest, for no reason other than $250K - the winner will be crowned the biggest asshole in Australia"

Nope - doesn't work for me.
 
I don't see how Daniel and Matt's strategy or gameplay has been any better than Chad and Sophies,
Both relied on a primary alliance of two, with the only rule being to vote out anyone but each other.
Dan and Matt made a pre-emptive strike and broke their secondary alliances before anyone else had a chance to.

Dan and Matt deal with Angela that saw her get evicted a second time.

Dan making peace with Angela after the Talia eviction.

Making sure Kieran fails the challenges by pairing him with Mat.

Dan ensuring his and Mats safety by making that final four deal with Chad. Then taking the opportunity to get rid of Sophie when they had the chance. Just a shame that didn't work out for them.

Sophie does not deserve to win because she was already voted out once. Having her win would make a mockery of the show and ruin the integrity of big brother.

See, you view these as admirable and noteworthy moves, whereas I see them as dishonest and lacking in character.
Such moves are necessary during the endgame, but Daniel and Matt were dishonest and disingenuous to everyone apart from themselves from the start. To spell it out : Sophie and Chad made deals and alliances they intended to keep until they had no other options, whereas Daniel and Matt were most probably lying even as the deals left their lips.

It's part of the game to backstab and lie to get to the end. Daniel and Matt have done that whilst still being well liked in the house.
 
Chad and Sophie's only safety has come from Sophie winning challenges, not because either of them have been capable of nominating or strategising effectively. Dan and Mat have successfully exploited dumb and dumber in order to survive since Top 10. I didn't want either of them to win, but I respect them for making it this far against those odds.

Either way, I take solace know that Sophie will be hawking teeth whitening kits on IG and Chad will be back to gay-for-pay escorting modelling before we know it.

It is not like Survivors. Survivors has substance, feels real, after an episode you feel you watched something worth watching, I want to know about the show, about the contestants, I look forward for the next episode, I am invested in the show. The alliance, the game play, the interactions, the personalities, it is all so interesting to me.
This BB feels empty; I watch it and forget it straight away. I still watch it but with sadness that it is far too fake and scripted.

Eh, I would be more inclined to agree but Australian Survivor has gotten worse each season and really started to fall flat with Champions vs. Contenders. The editing is just as lopsided as this season of BB and we haven't really had a season where we got to know just about everyone since the first two seasons. I think the tipping point for me was Sam lasting seven episodes but never getting a confessional in CvC2.

But yeah, I've actually enjoyed this BB season more than the last two or three seasons of Australian Survivor. It's definitely not without its flaws but it's been perfectly watchable and kept my interest enough.

Yeah, I definitely get people giving Chad and Sophie heat for wasting a bunch of their challenge wins but I don't think that automatically means Daniel and Mat played well themselves. Daniel wasted a challenge win on Hannah of all people, and they definitely could've been able to control Casey's win but instead they let her waste it on Marissa. If they get Casey to nominate Chad and Sophie (which really shouldn't be that difficult given how tight their alliance is), then they can get rid of Sophie and she's not even a factor when it comes to the White Room.

Ultimately I think it's silly to try to figure out who has played the best game this season because it's a brand new game with no set precedent so everyone is learning as they are playing along, and as a result everyone is making huge mistakes along the way. I don't even think it's necessarily a bad thing because I'd rather see the game develop organically, but I just think it's bizarre to selectively point out some people's criticisms because I wouldn't really call anyone a "good" player this season.
