The Worst (in no particular order apart from the first one)

Marcellas not using the Veto is definitely number 1.

Nathan using the veto on Alison in Season 4 was pretty dumb on his part.

Howie nominating James and Sarah!

Zach not using the Veto on Erik in the Fast Forward eviction. If he took Erik off the block, Daniele would have automatically had to go on the block, as Dick was HoH that meant that Zach and Erik could have controlled the vote and could have kicked Daniele out!

Kaysar letting go of the button in the HoH comp against Jennifer.

Allison and Sheila pretending they were a secret couple in Season 9!! Why would you even think that is a smart thing to do??

Dustin offering to go up on the block simply out of arrogance.

Mike distracting Dick during that Veto comp and causing himself to get nominated.

Brian making too many deals and alliances too soon in to the game.

The idiots that voted Crazy James back in to the house even though they'd just voted him out!

There are a lot more and probably some worst that I've missed!

Ivette not throwing final HOH to Janelle.

Ivette's nasty goodbye message to Rachel

Natalie throwing HOH to Sheila and being sent home

Kail throwing HOH to Danielle and being sent home

Kail trying to convince Danielle to vote out her own dad

Kaysar nominating Diana and Nakomis

Diane turning on Karen and Nakomis for Drew and Cowboy and being sent home

Diane telling Drew he had no chance of beating her at final 2. He didn't seem to realise this before.

Janelle saving Maggie with the veto

Adria turning on her own alliance so early by nominating Will

The Worst:

Marcellas & The Veto
Anyone who agreed to be a pawn at any point (Dustin)
Adria splitting up her alliance on her own HoH week.
Diane abandoning Karen and Nakomis for an alliance virtually identical to them.
Howie nominating James and Sarah
Janelle and Kaysar going after the floaters ignoring Will and Boogie
Mike taunting Dick for no real reason - up and out.
Ivette being nasty to Rachel (and by effect Howie) the swing bloody vote!
Kaysar giving HoH to Jennifer

A few smart moves:

The formation of the Soverign 6 - which went downhill soon after but was good for getting Eric out.
Dan & Memphis joining, and alligning themselves with Renny and Keesha.
The Six Finger Plan
Sheila convincing Natalie to throw the HoH she would have easily won
Alison and Jun teaming up despite hating each other!
Will's manipulation of Nicole

I havent got the patience to carry on...

Another rubbish move

Sharon's boyfriend being a jerk to Power Couple Parker!

Will's manipulation of basically everyone can be classed as a great strategic move.

Danielle and Jason forming a secret alliance early on was a great move.

Dan and Memphis forming an alliance and choosing to bring on board Renny and Keesha was a great move.

As soon as I saw this thread I thought of three bad moves:

1. BB4 - Jee putting up Michelle as a pawn. She was on their side and he tried to put her up to get rid of Erica, which made no sense....he really should have used someone against him like Jack or Nathan.

2. BB8 - Eric convincing Jessica not to put up Dick and Daniele and that they'd honour their four person alliance...or replace them in the veto, something along those lines anyway. The very next week Jessica got sent home by the father and daughter.

3. BB7 - Alison spreading Danielle's plan around the house. Everyone just assumed it was her and that she was lying when she said it was Danielle.

In Eric's defence, I think America were pressuring him to put up Amber. I think if he was playing the game by himself, he would have had her put the Donato's up in a flash.

And yes, Alison wasnt a bright girl at the start. It was a shame, because the plan was actually very clever, and would have been considered a great move if she had kept her mouth shut and played it more cooly.

Not sure that I agree with that. Had Sharon evicted Adam, Adam would have been pissed because Ryan broke their final 2 deal, and then Sheila would have been pissed because Adam was her partner. Sharon already had three votes on the jury (Chelsia, James and Josh) so one more would have won it for her, and in theory she could have gotten two from Adam and Sheila if she had made it to the end with Ryan. Also, I think Sharon would have taken Sheila to the end instead of Ryan. If anything, Ryan should have held back and let someone else win the veto, because I dont think anyone would have evicted him.

i agree with you about the 3 votes. but sharon was still robbed at the final four HOH competition. At that silly question about the ginuea pigs. Made me root for her to win after that.

Ivette not throwing final HOH to Janelle.
Agree 100% on this. What was Ivette thinking? She would have clearly won against Janelle. Janelle would have got 2 votes from Howie and Rachel and maybe 1 from James. Still not enough to win though.

Ivette's nasty goodbye message to Rachel
Agree again. Ivette AGAIN could have won against Maggie in the end because I'm sure I've heard Howie would have voted for Ivette over Maggie if Rachel hadn't forced him to give Maggie the win because of Ivette's silly speech!

Natalie throwing HOH to Sheila and being sent home
Dumb looking back, however Natalie wasn't to know that Sheila was going to screw her. I thought they would stick to getting rid of Sharon.

Kail throwing HOH to Danielle and being sent home
This was so annoying. If Kail had won HOH it would have turned the house upside down. I felt it was right Kail never made the jury house though as she was clearly unstable.

Kail trying to convince Danielle to vote out her own dadThis was dumb. And led to Kail's demise.

Kaysar nominating Diana and Nakomis

Diane turning on Karen and Nakomis for Drew and Cowboy and being sent home

Diane telling Drew he had no chance of beating her at final 2. He didn't seem to realise this before.

Janelle saving Maggie with the veto

Adria turning on her own alliance so early by nominating Will

Great moves
BB3: Danielle & Jason aligning
BB2/7: Chilltown (until where they promised everybody that they were in it
BB8: ED & Danielle - as much as I hated his intimidation, it worked
BB10: The Regenades
BB10: Dan and how he played every body in the house

Bad moves
BB7: Jase saying to everybody 'you're the alliance that I trust the most' to every alliance in the house
BB8: Zach not nominating Danielle and Dick the week before he did (in the middle was the fast forward week)
BB8: Sorry, but deciding to do America's Player, even if it got entertainment was a bad move by Eric
BB9: a bad strategical move alltogether by CBS
BB10: Ollie believing Dan had given him all the power

Best moves:
BB4 Alison voting off Jack instead of Erika to form an all girl alliance.
BB5 Nakomis five finger plan
BB6 Jennifer backdooring Kaysar (may not have been good for her- but was excellent for her alliance0

Worst moves:
BB4 Dana switching sides from the original to the exes
BB5 Karen not using the veto to save Adria, Adria so could have saved later on in the game.
BB6 Howie nominating James & Sarah
BB7 Chicken George not backdooring Janelle
BB8 Not getting rid of Dick on 2 or more chances
BB9 Not voting off Shelia/Adam instead of Jacob/Sharon. I knew that Adam/Shelia would get far.
BB10 not voting Dan out...what were they thinking?

I cant see if anyones mentioned it, but thinking about it, it was so frigging stupid for Zach not to backdoor Daniele when he won the veto in FFN. He should have saved Eric or Jameka, put Daniele up and then voted her off, which would have left Dick, Jameka, Eric and Zach. Dick would have been ineligble for HoH, and Eric would have been the only competition to Zach for HoH - Jameka still being ineligible and Dick outgoing HoH. He could then have taken Eric to the finals, knowing that Amber and Dustin hated Eric and then the game may even have gone down to Jen's vote - assuming the Donato's went for revenge, which im not even sure they would have. Instead he choose to go 2 on 2 against the Donato's, with them both eligible for the veto if they needed it. Ridicolous! I think he just chickened out because of the grief Dick would have caused him if he had backdoored his daughter.

Jameka could compete for HoH- not that it matter, she came no-one were close to winning HoH. Zach also won that HoH and I disagree that Zach would have gotten Amber/Dustins vote.

I do agree Zach should have gotten rid of Danielle.

I thought Jameka was still ineliglbe from saving Jen. I cant remember for sure, but im sure she would have next been able to compete at final 3? And from what I remember, Amber despised Eric, and Dustin was pretty pissed because he thought Eric had backdoored him, when in fact it was America's doing. Though saying that, im sure the producers would have done anything to help Eric win at that point, just because it would have been a great story if "America" won the game.
