Paras is by far my favourite. I looooove her. She's always been great on the live feeds too. She's very strongly strategic, but has done an incredible job of downplaying it.... Maybe too good because people actually believe she's dumb. She's been too wishy washy lately on committing to decisions and has made some mistakes, which is why she's only considered the "acceptable" choice now rather than a great one - she's left herself in a position where she likely can't beat the showmance which is very strong at comps. She's often considered better at the game than Derek, but obviously Derek's showmance has been controlling the late game and you can't argue with results, so Derek is likely to win over her. But Kaela is probably the strongest winner. Paras winning HoH at 4 actually might give her credibility towards winning the game though. If she wins Final 3 HOH, which is a bit if a stretch against Daela, it might give her the clout she needs. Some jurors like Ryan will vote for her, and Kaela is afraid of final 2 with her.

There was a very long period of the game where the three pillars of the house were considered to be Kaela, Paras, and Erika. Everybody loved and thought they were working with Paras (but thought she was dumb), and everybody loved and thought they were working with Erika, and everyone was whispering about targeting the showmance, but noone would ever pull the trigger because they were afraid of being the one to do it too soon.

It was honestly an incredible game to follow the live feeds on throughout the season. There was so much fluidity in the house. The pillars may have been Erika, Paras, and Kaela, but it's not like there were three sides of the house. Everybody was allied with everyone and there was so much shifting and political maneuvering. People would sell eachother out constantly and then people would find out about it but it would be yesterdays news so quickly. Like, in another season, if person A talked badly about person B who they were allied with, person B finding out about it and being like "I CANT BELIEVE 'A' BETRAYED ME LIKE THAT" would be a giant moment in the season... but it would happen several times a day in this house.

The edit is still fun to watch by itself, but it's done a very poor job of showing the dynamics in the house. Like the week Johnny was on the block against Ryan, he was going home 100% and throughout the week he did a MASTERFUL job of manipulating everybody in the house into thinking he was on their side and it was in their best interest to keep him... even Ale/Liv and the showmance. It was really incredible stuff, like top player of all time discussion worthy, and the edit didn't show it all.... They gave Ale the credit. And then she went out the next week. Ugh that's frustrating

Johnny and Erika were incredible players btw. They were a bit too good at comps for their own good, (it's legit that Erika actually did try throwing comps but couldn't help but win it anyways) but it honestly didn't matter too much. If not for the two big twists of the season, which were the triple eviction and the Canada's veto that saved Ryan, there is no way they would have went out when they did with their ability to socially and strategically manipulate the house. They were easily the best players in the house and I can't see that they would lose to anybody except eachother if not for twists. But, well, I guess you have to expect the unexpected....

Even a lot of the worse player are still guys like Ryan, Maddy, and Will, who even when they are unable to accomplish the goals that they want, still have their own agency and try to accomplish their own goals. There were only really a couple players like Merron who were legit goats, and they all went out prejury (along with Erika ;_;)

Honestly, Taran's live feed updates are sooo worth the listen. I often don't even watch every episode but I can't miss Taran's updates
