I dont even think James is playing to win, he just wants to do whatever the house wants to please America and win AFP. He has floated throughout the entire game and lets Nat make all of his decisions for him.
Nicole is annoying as fuck. In the beginning of the season, she said she was going to play differently without a showmance, but it turns out she is playing the EXACT SAME GAME AS BB16. Her gameplay sucks too. Her strategy is to plead to the HOH and beg for safety for herself and Corey every week. I also got really pissed off when Paul "said" that he would target James and Vic when he was just in the room to play it cool with Paulie. Yet Ratcole goes off to Jatalie to tell them that Paul was in on getting James and Vic out, yet said nothing of it. Nicole is a whiny, catty snake who is delusional into thinking Corey will actually make a move with her outside of the house.
On the other hand, I am rooting for Paul to win because he is playing the best game. He can convince himself out of any situation with anyone (except Frank), and he can win over jury because he is likable in the house. But I wouldnt mind if Nat, Corey, Vic, or Meesh win too.
