I reallyliked her too. Gone are the days when all of the contestants didn't make you want to gouge your eyes out.

To be fair I would say it has only really been like that this season...

Maggie's probably the best winner if only because all of the other big names were massively helped by production due to being audience favourites. Hayden's not far behind, but I'd put Maggie ahead of him if only because she had a genuine strong alliance openly targeting her, while Hayden was much more of a stealth player.

Dr Will wasn't helped by production as far as I was aware. But things were different back then. It wasn't until Grodner took over that production rigging became more prevalent.

Hayden did real good, he actively had production against him!

In my opinion, Dan Gheesling is the greatest Big Brother player of all time.

I'd say Dan Gheesling, he's brilliant. Ian played a good game in BB14 but it's bizarre that a group of people who love the game wouldn't vote in favour of a great player. My other favourite is Janelle because she is amazing at competitions and very rootable. But I love Dani Donato and Will Kirby too. To be honest I think Britney Haynes should've been mentioned - her social game is AMAZING.
I think Jeff and Jordan aren't great players and I hated Jeff in BB13. Why he thought that it was out of order Shelly wouldn't carry him to the end I don't know. I thought Shelly was a good player.

I think Mike Malin is terrible too I'll never understand why he's considered an all-star.

Dan's near unanimous loss in BB14 pretty much negates his unanimous win in BB10 so no. But the options on this poll are laughable anyway.

Also,

But the jury should have voted for the best player in the game surely, not the one they liked better..
You can't say that the jury should have voted one way or another. There aren't any rules as to how they should vote, and the only goal is to get to the end and get more jury votes than your opponent. Dan sucked at that, he really became the Russell Hantz of BB.

I guess it comes down to what area they are strongest at

if we are talking strategic players we have to say Will, Danielle (Season 3) and Dan

if we are talking about physical players we can say players like Rachel and Danielle (Season 8) who won many competitions

If more social game we say people like Jordan

Personally for me the best players are Dan, Will, both Danielles but thats my view.

I'd personally have Jun and Hayden on this list over Jordan and Dick, who are arguably two of the worst winners ever. Without the hilariously convenient Coup d'etat and America's player I highly doubt either of them would have even made the final 5.

I probably would have voted Janelle from a likability standpoint but I found her absolutely insufferable in All-Stars.

None of the above. Hayden Moss is cold blooded. The way he was on BB12 was scary. The whole house wanted to be in a final 3 or 2 with him. His social game is on a different level to Dan or Will. Strategically he is on par with them.

Having now watched every season I totally agree, i would do a completely different list now.

The issue I often take with these polls is that viewers often disregard that in the final stages the show is essentially a popularity contest, Dan losing BB14 is a case in point. Good players often seem to completely ignore the fact that it is those people they stab in the back who determine their fate at the end.

If Dan had read the mood and motivations of the jury a little better in BB14 he may have won, instead he played too hard completely disregarding the emotionally driven nature of the other players. You can call someone a great player but if they can't get people on their side in the final two then they really haven't done that great.

Which is why Jun should be on this poll.

I loved Jordan and wanted her to win but she is lucky she won. That girl is rubbish at competitions.

Male - Dan

Female - Rachel or Janelle.

Unfortunately this is the only big brother i've seen other than 5, 6 and 7 and none of those winners were really game players, just wanted to say this is a brilliant idea for a thread

Looks like Derrick is in the discussion now. Definitely in my Top 3 along with Will and Dan.

He's up there but doesn't come close to Dan or Will in my opinion. He had a big alliance to support him and was rubbish at comps when he tried to win.

Will because the All Stars cast was a hell of a lot more clued in that the BB14 cast, I'm not sure Dan would have made a F2 on a whole All Stars series, Will and Dan's second appearances aren't comparable as Will's cast was a lot more difficult that the likes of Jen City, Ashley and Joe. Like compare those three to the likes of Janelle, James and Danielle R. The BB14 line up were mostly idiots, similar to that ridiculous series of Survivor where CBS obviously cast people outside a lobotomy clinic to help Boston Rob win.

I used to always have Janelle on a higher pedestal but when you watch AS she really played a poor game in the latter half allowing Will and Boogie stay for so long. When she finally woke up it was too late.

I find Jun somewhat overrated also, I'd rank Maggie and even Rachel above her in female winners even if Rachel got spillover from production trying to help Jordan.

Mike was such a coattail rider of Will on AS I find it laughable how Erika got so much heat for being a coattail rider, Mike was exactly the same. Mike is comparable to Cody quite frankly.

Derrick is in my top 5, definitely.

In my opinion, Derek is NOT a great gameplayer... I think he was just lucky to surround himself with a stupid cast

Every cast has it's fair share of stupid people. Don't think you can use that as a criticism against Derrick. He looked like a winner from week 2 onwards.

Derrick looked like the winner in the pre-cast interviews before they even went in.

But I agree about there being stupid people every year, they only seem to throw a couple of potential good gamers in there and fill the rest with fodder. They've done that every US series I've watched. I think the weak competition is a poor arguement.

Now that I've watched five full seasons, and a lot of the livefeed of those, of the North American BB I think I'm going to have to go with Andy as the game player.

Not on All Stars which is why I feel Will's 4th on AS trumps Dan's 2nd on a regular season.

Also this trend of having morons is a recent thing. Look at BB10, nobody was a total idiot as unlikable as some were like April and Ollie, that whole jury was pretty clued in. Same with BB11, Jordan ironically might have been the most out of touch of those who made the jury stage onwards.

BB12 was the first hint of a change, the fact everyone was oblivious to the Brigade and so ready to get rid of Rachel/Brendon rather than work with them was the beginning of stupid casts. BB13 actually wasn't awful but I feel that was thanks to the veterans having a pack of minions each Dani D vs Jeff/Jordan/Brendon/Rachel.

BB14 was particularly idiotic, Shane, Danielle, Jenn, Joe, Ashley, none of them the sharpest tools in the shed. Also Britney is majorly overrated because she throws a few one liners in the DR, she's like Jocasta essentially. She shouldn't even have been a "mentor" on that season given who the other 3 were.
