She's fought all of the odds to get where she is now, she's been just about everyone's target at one point or another, won every other competition. True all-star IMHO. Love her to win. Can't think of anyone who was overall more deserving to win a season? Danielle s3 perhaps? Janelle, of course - in both of her seasons. Thoughts?

I would be incredibly pissed off with an Adam win at this stage.

I'd say Dan was more deserving in BB10 and maybe even Hayden BB12, they weren't helped by a twist - we seem to forget that Rachel would probably have left in 9th place (AGAIN) were it not for the returnee twist. That said, I'd love her to win !

Rachel does deserve to win, but she isn't the most deserving ever because she has had help. She entered the game with 5 immediate allies, she had a returning houseguest twist in her favour, and the blatant rigging with Pandora's Box. But she has fought hard and I certainly wouldn't begrudge her a win.

Will, Dan, Jun, and Maggie all deserved to win their seasons, whether you liked their gameplay or not they made all the right moves.

Deserving yes. Most deserving, probably not. Rachel has played really well, but her strategy remains "win win win" with no forward thinking or long-term ideas. Every twist has fallen into her favour, intentionally or not, while past winners have won in spite of twists. That being said, she's done a lot more than the other three remaining players, has been a competition fiend, and just generally has done well to stay afloat in spite of her overactive mouth and... darling personality.

Its amazing if someone like Rachel could win. She's really never played it safe at all, in many ways she's a terrible gameplayer and doesnt have a strategic bone in her body. However, she did fight hard this year and last year and won a ton of competitions so she'd be a good winner.

The thing is, winning Big Brother takes a combination of a lot of skills. Some of those she does well at (winning challenges), and some of those she is awful at (the social game). I'm usually a bigger fan of people with good social games so I'd say no. Everyone's definition of deserving is different though.

You do need some luck to win as well.

Not even close. She's made too many mistakes to stand up against people like Will, Dan and even Maggie.

All of SweetSyrup's reasons just described Alison from BB4...and she didn't have any twists help her (except maybe entering with the original 8 and not the 'exes') and compared to Rachel, she actually played a much better social game as well. Rachel's been very lucky in my opinion because her social game really is atrocious at sometimes.

Having said that though, I want Rachel to win the season by a long way. To be honest, at any point in this season I would have said I'd be happy if she won; she's a real BB player. In theory, all the vets currently in jury should vote for her as well because they've been saying how they dislike floaters.

She's definitely one of the most memorable houseguests of Big Brother; not the most deserving winner ever though. As somebody else mentioned, Dan from BB10 was much more deserving. He played an incredible game and I had a feeling from very early on that he could do it.

Not even in the top 10 contenders imo. She might just about make the top 20 but it'd be close .

Definitely not the most deserving ever but I do want her to win. Out of the ones left I would say she is the most deserving.
