Season 2- 1st Place
Season 7- 4th Place
Not a fan. But he's fantastic at the game! He tells people he hates them, insults them even, and they keep him. He's great with strategy, but I believe his social and physical game are lacking. It helps tremendously in this game if you can win competitions and Will seems to believe differently, it worked for him the first time but the second time not so much. His social game is simply to befriend a few people and despise everyone else. Had he taken an entirely different group of people to final 5 Will would have won a second time. His fatal flaw is arrogance

Danielle Reyes
Season 3- 2nd Place
Season 7- 6th Place
The black widow. She was robbed in her first season. Had there been a jury house, she would have won. Although I like Lisa and thought she also deserved a win, Danielle played a much better game. She and Jason orchestrated every eviction of the summer, they were masterful and secretive. A fantastic pair. In her next season Danielle was playing against some much harder competition and fought her ass off every week and managed to blind side a few big brother greats out of the house, but she was backstabbed by Will.

Season 12- 9th Place
Season 13- 1st Place
You either love her or you hate her. And I happen to love her. There's not denying Rachel's good at this game. She's won competition after competition proving she's a competitor. She's also won the game, proving she's good at strategy. Her showmancer Brendon isn't my favorite, and I believe he hinders her in the game. She's 10 times better by herself in the BB house. This girl may be annoying but she's good and I hope to see her back again!

Daniele Donato
Season 8- 2nd Place
Season 13- 8th Place
In her first season she was completely in the shadow of her dad. And honestly I'm not sure why. Daniele was just as good at strategizing as her father was. She's the one that came up with most of the plans to get rid of people. She was also fighting a losing battle against America as we were in favour of her father. In her second season however, her father was no longer in the picture and she proved what a true strategist she is. Being of the few people with brains she tried to get Jeff out and in the end it cost her, but not before she left her mark and spread to Kalia Shelly and Porsche.

Hint for #6: You either love or hate her and her showmance partner
Allison Irwin
Season 4- 2nd Place
Season 7- 14th Place
In he first season, not only did she flirt with every guy in the BB house, but she manipulated them all too. Even her ex. She defined the strategy "floating" and perfected it. She was devious and back stabbed anyone who got in her way of the money. Not only was she pretty but she was strategic. A deadly combination. Her second time she was seen as just too dangerous and wasn't given enough time to work her magic and was first out

Hint for #7: Played twice, in a different showmance both times, both Post All Stars

Season 5- 4th Place
Season 7- 13th Place
Nakomis, from the moment I saw her I loved her. But I had no idea she's be so good at the game. Creating one of the best used strategies to date- backdooring. Although then it was called the six finger plan. She knew everyone wanted Jase out of the game, and that if they initially put him on the block he'd win PoV. So she had the idea to give him a false sense of security and put up two of her allies so that no matter who won PoV they'd use it and put up Jase. In All Stars however, everyone immediately targeted her and she was quick to be evicted.

Hint for #8: Used flirting as a strategy, Pre All Stars
