Three more to add since last time:

Adam not using the veto at the final 5
Adam's plan to go to the end with Jordan and Rachel
Rachel's nasty goodbye messages

Best move - Adam floating under the radar then suddenly becoming a competitions machine a la Dan, I've thought all summer that it wasn't planned - but who knows

I have to disagree, those weren't bad moves

Rachel's nasty goodbye messages
Any 'nastier' than others by people like Kalia and Porsche? At least Rachel puts humour into it, maybe some don't get it particularly some Americans. Rachel sees it as a game and she plays it pretty well. Anyway this is her role to be more outspoken, it would be pretty boring if people were just like Adam and said nearly nothing through the show.

Competitions machine? Just because he had the luck to find the names quickly enough for one of the competitions.

Brendon using the veto on Rachel instead of himself
Rachel has gone quite far after that though.

I don't think this is a bad move at all. Brendon and Rachel went into the season wanting to win as a duo. They didn't care which one of them won, as long as it was one of them.

In a normal season, it'd be an awful move, but in this scenario it's completely understandable. Rachel always had a better chance of bringing home the bacon, so keeping himself in the house would have been a worse move. Considering Brendon has been evicted twice this season while Rachel has made the final four, I think it was the right decision.

This year has been quite short on terrible moves on the whole, but there have been a few that have stood out for me:

-The group evict JoJo over Danielle in week 2, thus keeping Dan in the game
-Janelle refuses to commit to an all-coaches alliance
-Jenn uses the veto to save Dan
-Jenn fails to sell out Dan and Daniele at the final 5

I'm re-watching BB10 on the back of Dan being in this one and wanted to remind myself of how he was.

I've been amazed at how badly Brian played things. I'd always remembered liking / admiring him But his over confidence and ridiculous inflated idea of how powerful he was, was both embarrassing to watch and of course his downfall Ha Ha

Another bad move I noticed was the personal and bitchy way the girls took the idea Ollie and Brian and Dan possibly working together. Why didn't they just keep schtum and use this info to their advantage instead of going off on one all self righteously. So Brian may target them after getting rid of Memphis and Jessie. Why not wait until they are got rid of

Seems obvious with hindsight but I notice generally in BB those that are full of themselves and overreact and take everything personally lose eventually which is why Dan is such a good contestant. Ever cool

Planning on taking two vets to the final 3 was a very bad move. How the hell did he expect to win? The only way he could have survived to final 2 was to win the final HOH competition which given his track record was not likely.

Worst move of BB14 - Willie.. everything he did.

Notable mention for Danielle following Dan like a sheep, believing that he went there to coach even after reset..

We have to add Daniele and Shane agreeing to use the veto to save Dan on this list.

Dan's funeral has to surely go down as one of the best moves ever. Even better than it first seemed because not only did it save him but it put him in the power position which he has remained in for the rest of the game. He went from sure next evictee to having the ultimate control.

For me, the worst move, not even a move, but just the way Ivette reacted to Rachel when she was nominated, and that goodbye message, completely lost her the win, and it was so amazing to watch!!!

And also her not throwing that last HoH, would've also given her a win!!!

She was so..... uhhh!!!
