It doesn't seem like anybody can hold a decent alliance this year, could be a good decision for some, could be bad... we'll see sooner or later.

Anyways, another topic here made me think about past strategies on BB.

What were the worst decisions and strategies you've seen in all your years of BB watching?

The two ones that come to mind first for me, is Marcellas winning POV and not taking himself off the block, an kaysar giving away HOH to a rival alliance. Both moves got them thrown out obviously...

1. Marcellus not using the veto.
2. Kaysar's "deal" with Jen.
3. Howie putting up James and Sarah.

I can't think of another decision that even rivals those three.

The Marcellus and Kaysar things I remember, but can someone refresh my memory on the Howie one? TIA!

Julie, if I remember correctly, Janelle and Kaysar wanted Howie to put up Maggie to get her out of there and one of her co-horts. Maggie talked Howie into putting up James and Sarah.

To add, of course, Lexie... James and Sarah were in Howie's alliance but Maggie convinced Howie that they were playing both sides.

When, in reality, it was a ploy to save her alliance seeing they knew they had the numbers even if James won POV (which, of course, he did).

James WAS playing both sides (though Sarah was not).

Stopjustwatchin listed the correct three, and no other strategic decision was even close except not voting Dr. Will out any of the times he was nominated in S2. But they belong in this order....

1a) Marcellas not using the veto. Directly resulted in his eviction.

1b) Howie nominating James and Sarah. Cost the Sov6 the balance of power for the rest of the season, resulting in no Sovs even making the final. Likely would have been two Sovs in the final or a Sov and NH in the final with a Sov winning had Howie not lost it at that point. And Jen might have been evicted in place of Sarah, and if so 3) below couldn't have happened.

3) Kaysar listening to Jen. Just plain dumb.

Thanks Stopwatching and Alliet. I was a futzy and hazy on the events from BB6 so I was afraid to post any more information than I did. Thank you for clearing it up for me and Julie.

I think any strategy that Kaysar cooked up should be in here as some sort of honorable mention.. ;)

The Horsemen putting up Holly when they did. They lost their game then. I wasn't pulling for them, but it was a bad decision.

One of the worst decisions in BB history (IMO) that hasn't been mentioned yet was in Season 3, when Jason (and Dani) decided to evict Amy and take Lisa to the final three.

Amy would have been an easier final three opponent by a considerable margin. She was not nearly as an aggressive competitor as Lisa when it came to challenges. Also she was not as well liked by the other HGs and on top of that, there was some feeling that she shouldn't have had a second chance to go back into the game.

Even if Amy had managed to get to the final two against either Jason or Dani, Jason and Dani's chances of defeating her was much better than going against Lisa.

It was a bad final decision by Dani in what was a relatively flawlessly played game.

Another Season 3 bad decision by Dani was being so open in the Diary Room. Probably cost her the game.

Yeah, Jimmer, that was probably the most fatal decision for the player. However, Dani didn't know the DR's were being shown.

But talking Marcellas into not using the veto was brilliant.

BB3 is still my favorite season. I didn't have the feeds that summer and it still rates as the best in my opinion.

BB not allowing us to send fly-over banners. They sure made the first two seasons interesting!
