An Ode to the Ladies II

Jordan Lloyd-Season 11 & Season 13

Crazy fandom? Check. Producer Bias? Check. Good game play? Also check. There is no denying that Jordan is severely overrated as a player. This is particularly true among casual BB fans who believe she is among the best of the best to step foot in the the house. With that said, hear me out. There is no one way to play this game. Jordan played it by being likable. It worked for her. 


Admittedly, I wonder if she would have been in this position with a better cast. That’s another question for another day. She kept under the radar and decided to be nice to people. She did not give them a reason to vote her out of the house. That's enormously difficult in a game designed to get other people to want to vote you out. They viewed her as sweet, nonthreatening Jordan who was presumably shielded by Jeff. If anyone wanted to go after her it was because of Jeff and he would take the fall for it. She had her alliance, but also talked to everyone else in the house.

Her end game was great because either Kevin or Natalie would have taken her to the finale. Instead, it was up to her. She knew not to take Kevin to the final 2 and was able to win the jury over. All without help from Jeff, thank you very much. In fact, Jeff's advice to Jordan after he was eliminated was to stick with Michelle. While that was great advice, it was not of any use as Michelle was the next to go. She proceeded to try the same thing in her next season. She attempted to be nobody's enemy. And with a lot of success I might add.
