Diary Room: Adam Poch’s Player Rankings: Big Brother OTT – Finale Week

Adam’s final rankings for Big Brother Over The Top continue:

Justin Duncan – 2 strips Bacon with creole seasoning – We have never seen a character as unique as Justin in all the years of Big Brother – and he was a delight to watch for most of the season. If the season ended 2 weeks ago and he was in the final 3 – he may have had a chance to beat anyone – but as the game dragged on, he started losing some of his happiness. In that house, there was so much negative energy, and it can take it’s toll on even the most positive people. That is one thing fans can never really understand – the negative energy that lives inside those walls is real & powerful.

Justin would have gotten an extra strip of bacon if he was able to keep up his positive outlook, but the last few days were very tough on him, and his allies Kryssie & Jason turning on him was sad to see. He won the one Veto early on when he did not need to – and that was made him such a delight to watch. His lack of all BB knowledge was a breath of fresh air rather than the rest of the people that play too hard & overthink everything. He was eazy breazy yo, ya dig?

Kryssie Ridolfi – she gets the honor of TOFURKEY OF THE YEAR – I had a lot of high hopes for her going in, but she turned out to be a bad player with a bad attitude. She put all her eggs in Jason’s basket, and his negativity (which was 1/2 real, and 1/2 an act) rubbed off on her. She was rude & crude (if it rhymes it must be true) – she loved to fart on people’s pillows – and was the impetus for the name “Hypocridiots” She complained about how bad the Ball Smashers were treating the Late Night Jamboree – but then acted twice as bad as them.

But what really gets Kryssie the TotY award is how she threw away her chance at the prize by doing everything she could to get Jason to the end – and the probably victory. Her Final plea to America on why she should win was very disillusion – she was not the brains of her side – although she did convince Danielle to get rid of Whitney instead of Justin. But that was a bad move for her, as Whitney would have been a better ally for her in the long run. I hope after the show she can shake off the negative energy – which she probably will – and use that energy to focus on her music.

Morgan Willett – 3 strips Bacon – Morgan outlasted the rest of her alliance – by making herself look like a weak competitor. She did not want that role early on, but in Big Brother, if something is working, sometimes it’s hard to stop doing it. She did win a couple tough competitions – the Veto week 4 when she was on the block, HoH week 8 where she secured her spot in the Final 4, and then the head to head challenge vs Justin to get herself to the final 3.

Say what you want about Morgan’s gameplay, she earned her spot in the finals, and was not dragged there. She was not the biggest target in her alliance – and like i said, she embraced it. She knew she would have a hard time beating Shelby at the end, so she was OK with her going home during her HoH. She probably will not win tonight – but you cannot deny her as a deserving finalist.

Jason Roy – 5 strips Bacon – yes, Jason had played before, got voted into the house by the fans, and had a few Care Packages go his way – but he built an Army to protect him in the weeks he was vulnerable. People will complain that in a season where America had so much power, bringing a returnee gave him an unfair advantage – and that complaint is real… but this is still Big Brother – and we have seen this trend for years on the CBS show, so you gotta live with it – or stop watching.

Jason did win the challenges he needed to when he was in danger, convinced people to do what was best for him while making them think it was best for them. He totally used Kryssie, Justin, and Danielle to his advantage. He did “work with” Alex & Scott early when he should have been their target. The fake Final 5 deal came back to hurt Danielle more than him.

So regardless of what you think about a Vet coming back – he did play more strategic this time around. He did still have his sassy side – and that seemed to rub off on both his allies and his supporters online. He will most likely win the season, and will finally be able to move out of his mom’s basement!!

OK – there ya have it – another season in the books – we will be tuning in tonight to see if Jason walks away with the win, or if we will have the 2nd biggest voting upset in the past few weeks. There is a chance that Morgan can pull it out – but the biggest winner of the season is US the fans! We always say we want more Big Brother – and now we got it! Just really wish there was a little longer break between the seasons.
