Big Brother S23 Power Rankings (Finals)

Sep 28, 2021 by PowerRankings101

Woof, what a crazy boot that was. While the week took a turn and Xavier actually didn’t stay true to The Gentlemen, I still thought it was a fairly predictable week from veto onwards. BUT, then we got an incredibly awkward but entertaining moment where Kyland went out with some pretty hurtful words for his allies. It was a classless exit and makes me regret picking him as my pre-season winner pick over some others. Now, we’re down to three and it all comes down to this final HOH competition. Let’s see how I think this final three will pan out.

3. Azah Awasum- Azah needs to win this HOH or she’ll probably go home. Derek F won’t win it, and Xavier will take Derek F over her. I think she has the potential to be the winner of the season IF she wins that final HOH, but even then, she could prioritize her crush over her Joker alliance and take X to the end, in which case she wouldn’t win at all. It’s tricky since I do think Azah is a better player than Derek F although she did coast for a while, but I really just don’t see her getting to the final two unless she could pull out the most important HOH of the season.

2. Derek Frazier- Derek F is guaranteed a seat at final two because I don’t see X or Azah cutting him. I also don’t really know how many votes he’ll receive if he makes it there. He just hasn’t done ANYTHING in this game other than playing a social game, and even then, he seemed to burn bridges with some of the top dogs like Tiffany and Kyland by the end of their runs, so some probable jury votes earlier on are now even less guaranteed for him. I did predict him to get third place earlier in the pre-season thinking he’d go home like James did in BB18 or JC in BB20 where he’s super likable, but I think instead, he’ll be dragged to final two as the obvious goat to beat (and not GOAT goat, I mean goat goat).

1. Xavier Prather- If X wins final immunity, he wins Big Brother. The jury isn’t bitter about him, and even if he brings Azah, I still think he has the votes to win. But he won’t, he’s going to take Derek F and could win unanimously (maybe save for Britni’s vote and MAYBE Kyland’s vote depending on how bitter he is). I think he’s played the cleanest game all season. Kyland had the best competition game, Tiffany had the best strategic game, but I think Xavier had the best merge of all three components (social, strategic, and physical). He won when he needed to, threw comps when he needed to, and always played it cool. Even when people like Christian were on the chopping block, he sacrificed his personal feelings to keep his alliance comfortable, and I really do think that’s the key to winning Big Brother nowadays. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish, and he has done both very well.

This is a BB17 scenario. Xavier is Vanessa, the obvious one to beat. Derek F is Liz who was always in the majority alliance but isn’t going to win in any scenario. Azah is Steve who may be the underdog going in, BUT if she can cut Xavier, she wins. It really will be an exciting finale regardless. And history will be made.

PREDICTIONS:

Winner- Xavier Prather

Second Place- Derek Frazier

Third Place- Azah Awasum
