Will (BB2) - 10 - Duh.
Nicole (BB2) - 7 - I don't really remember BB2, but Nicole and Hardy did own a lot of the season, but Nicole let Will play her.
Monica (BB2) - 6 - Again, I don't really remember this all that much, but I don't remember her being a big strategist at all.
Hardy (BB2) - 7 - Played a great game with Nicole, except he didn't need to backstab so many people in order to keep around the manipulator. That was a huge mistake, and costs him several points.
Lisa (BB3) - 7 - She played a very UTR, coat-tail riding game, BUT her social game was brilliant enough to allow amazing strategist Danielle take her to the final 3, when she should have logically been out at final 4. That in itself bumps her score up a few points.
Danielle (BB3) - 9 - Fantastic player, manipulated everyone. Her downfall was her diary room comments, and if the jurors had been sequestered, she would have won. However, Dani knew that they wouldn't be sequestered, so she should have tone it down a bit.
Jason (BB3) - 8 - He kind of rode Dani's coattails, but he played the game to, IIRC. No one really knew about their alliance, and Jason succeeded where Dani failed... he was able to play a social game where everyone still liked him, even if his partner was seen as the devil. But for the fact that Dani did most of the strategic stuff, IIRC, he gets a lower score.
Roddy (BB3) - 7 - I don't remember too much about his game, but I remember he was a great manipulator, and played very well the first part of the season. But just going on gut.
Jun (BB4) - 9 - She was seen as a huge bitch, but she did have some great game. She had the stooges kind of with her, but she also had Ali with her. She was seen as a huge bitch, but played it so that she was seen as less of a bitch than Ali.
Alison (BB4) - 9 - She loses a point for being such a wench to everyone, but she played well strategically, IIRC. BB2-BB4 is sketchy for me though.
Robert (BB4) - 6 - Don't really remember him being a strategic mastermind.
Erika (BB4) - 9 - She was in a good position to win in S4, IIRC. She had a good thing going with Jack, and then with the girls. Too bad about the F4 veto.
Jee (BB4) - 7 - He played a fairly good game, from what I can remember, but not amazing.
Drew (BB5) - 9 - I don't really care for him, but he played well. He made a dumb mistake with nominating Holly, but he was able to successfully detach himself from the most hated alliance, and get someone to throw away their game for him, and another person to be loyal by his side to the end. He was an indecisive twat at times, but he still played well I think.
Michael (BB5) - Should not be on the list - As far as I can remember, he really didn't do anything strategic at all. He couldn't even keep himself off the nomination block with his sister. And when the tides of the house turned, the fool kept Diane in the game, who would take Drew to the end, when he could have easily taken Nakomis and ensure he made the finals. He skated by and let Drew play the game for him. He was pathetic to.
Diane (BB5) - 9 - She played almost flawlessly. Almost. She successfully overthrew the asshole horseman, but then she threw her game away completely for Drewche. I don't know why, she had the game in the palm of her hands. She orchestrated some great moves, such as the one to boot Karen, which broke up the final 2 pair, but she really shouldn't have even let Drew in the final 5 or whatever.
Nakomis (BB5) - 9 - Again, she played very well, she just made the mistake of letting Drew get as far as he did. She should have taken Drew out earlier, to cut off any complications Diane might have caused. But her 6-finger plan was genius, and she played her emotions with Cowboy fairly well at final 4, he was just an idiot though. But like I said, she made the mistake of nomming Cowboy in the first place, and should have nommed Drew.
Karen (BB5) - 7 - I thought she started off as a player, but as the time progressed, it seemed like she became a lot more quiet and laid back, strategy wise. She just hung out with Nakomis a lot of the time. Maybe it would have been a good move to use the veto on Adria. Maybe not. But she was in the final 5 with 2 people she had no relationship with, 1 person she didn't trust, and only 1 good ally.
Marvin (BB5) - 6 - Marvin was a good character but not really a great strategist. He did a good job of weaseling his way into the girls alliance, but even that was temporary at best. He had no solid alliance with anyone really, and that was largely his fault. He gets a 6 because he did okay getting the target off him early on, and he helped come up with the 6-finger plan, and he tried to cause distention between Drew/Diane, even though it backfired.
Maggie (BB6) - 9 - Maggie was a complete cunt, let's get that straight first. But she was a cunt who manipulated a bunch of other cunts very well. We all know how she was the center of that alliance, and she would get a 10, except she didn't own up to any of it post-show, so maybe she wasn't a strategist, but just a cult leading cunt.
Ivette (BB6) - 7 - She had an okay strategic mind a lot of the game, but the fact that she was a complete cunt to everyone outside of her alliance (and some in her alliance) basically ensured that she wasn't going to win. And when she plays such a horrendous social game, she loses points.
Janelle (BB6) - 7 - When Janelle has close friends in the house, she's not a GREAT strategist, just an okay one. But when her friends are gone, she's pretty damn good. After Howie left, she really turned on the charm and the strategy, and she went from being the devil of all devils in the eyes of the friendshit, to being in a position of possibly winning. So that's why she averages out to 7.
April (BB6) - 8 - Again, April was a bitch, but some of her strategy scenes were intelligent. The way she talked to Jennifer about how she needed to nom Rachel/Janelle, or when she convinced Kaysar that James was a snake etc., showed she has a good strategic mind some times. Her problem was the fact that she got so wrapped up into an alliance where her position sucked. She and Jennifer were the clear outsiders within the friendshit.
Howie (BB6) - Should not be on the list - Howie had one good strategic moment. He was part of the planning to nominate Maggie and James. Other than that, he was a strategic retard. But lovable. <3
Beau (BB6) - Should not be on the list - Did he even talk?
James (BB6) - 8 - He did really good playing both sides early on, but after Maggie got HOH, he totally overplayed it and it almost cost him the game. But once he won the veto and didn't get backdoored by Jenniwhore, he played his cards well, and could very well have won the game.
Rachel (BB6) - 9 - Rachel had a great strategic mind, and played very well the whole time. She knew Howie made a huge mistake in agreeing to nominate James and Sarah, and her only mistake was not forcing him to go back on his word with Haggie. Other than that, she knew the game very well. She could have won in any other season, and only got 8th because she was more of a threat and wanted Howie to do better than her.
Mike Boogie (BB7) - 7 - He was Will's right hand man, and did well a lot of the time. Except he was too dumb to see that Will was setting himself up to win and setting up Boogie to fail, which is why he gets a lower score.
Erika (BB7) - Should not be on the list - She was basically a complete tool to Boogie and Will. She was nothing more, really. Her only good move was to help get Will out, but anyone could have seen that in her position, it was nothing special.
Janelle (BB7) - 7 - Instead of this being an average of great gameplay and bad gameplay like BB6, this is just the score she should get for BB7. A lot of people say she sucked this time around for being a tool to Boogie and Will, but if you think about it, sticking with them was her best and only real move. Once her allies were gone, she needed Boogie and Will to stay in the game. They could throw the comps, which she needed to win. They would get out her biggest threats which again, would allow her to keep winning. She sidled up to the right person, Dr. Will, who was going to take the biggest comp threat to final 3, even though he shouldn't have. Chilltown was her ONLY option after the Sovs fell apart, so she played it to her advantage. Now she loses a couple of points for getting herself in a piss poor position and NEEDING to win the comps, but still.
Will (BB7) - 10 - He played brilliantly, for someone having such an enormous target on his back. His only mistake was wanting to take Janelle to the final 3, but even if he did and she won the comp, she would have taken him and he would have probably won. But Will claimed to want Boogie to win, but he still completely set up himself to win and Boogie to lose without anyone really knowing. From getting Boogie to stab Erika in the back and get Janelle to the final 3, to making Boogie look like the badder guy etc. It as genius.
Danielle (BB7) - 8 - She played well except she allowed CT to stay too long, and before she realized, it was too late.
James (BB7) - Should not be on the list - What the fuck, he had a hissy fit and switched from loyal allies to the most untrustworthy people in the game? He wasn't even an immediate Sov target.
Kaysar (BB7) - 6 - He did okay in the first few weeks, but honestly, I think he should be on the list for BB6. I mean, he orchestrated a 6-6 alliance from a strong 9-3 division in just a few days. He only got eliminated because he was seen as a threat for turning the tides, and then again because Jenniwhore was a fucking dumbass for listening to her group, effectively pissing off the entire other side.
Dick (BB8) - Should not be on the list - His strategy would not work in ANY other season, and he only got as far as he did because of Grodner. Plain and simple. Not to say he didn't do okay in the last few weeks, because booting Eric and Jessica when he did was smart, but he would have NEVER gotten to that point without producer interference.
Daniele (BB8) - 6 - The bitch was so whiny and cunty, but she did good at comps and could think strategically sometimes. But overall, bitch played a very poor social game, so much that she lost to the biggest asshole ever.
Zach (BB8) - 9 - He really hung in there after being targeted week after week. To the point where he was in well with a lot of people. He almost had the game in the bag.
Eric (BB8) - 8 - Again, he was saved by production, but then again, he wouldn't have been in the position to be seen as a huge liar if it hadn't been for America's Choice. I think he would have done well if it were not for that twist, but he was still a douchebag.
Jessica (BB8) - 7 - She played well socially, her problem though was that she listened too much to Eric. She should have never taken the deal with the Donatos, she was in a good position with that other shitty alliance.
Jen (BB8) - 7 - Jen isolated herself, but she gets a good score because she did have a good strategic mind, which came out on the feeds from time to time. She had a good idea of what was going on in the house and often was right on with her thoughts. I can't remember specifics, but do remember that she would often have good strategic ideas, when talking to Kail, and even Daniele when she was trying to get rid of Eric. She just alienated herself too quickly to recover.
Adam (BB9) - 10 - He pwned. Everyone was wrapped around his finger towards the end.
Ryan (BB9) - 7 - He dropped the ball towards the end. Getting rid of Sharon was stupid. Plus he was never a big genius before that either.
Sheila (BB9) - 9 - She had many great strategic ideas and plans, she just set herself up for a shitty end game because she misjudged the strength in alliance between her and Adam.
Sharon (BB9) - 6 - She was just there, but she was well liked and knew she needed to lay low during the pagonging of her alliance.
Natalie (BB9) - 9 - She really, really stepped up her strategic game after Matt was evicted, and that really impressed me. Her problem was having her hand in too many cookie jars, which was obvious to everyone else, and that was her downfall.
James (BB9) - Should not be on the list - He did okay early on, but imploded and just cried and bitched from the time he was nominated by Ryan to the time he was evicted the second time. There was nothing more to him, I don't see why he's on here.
Joshuah (BB9) - 7 - Did okay strategically, but fell apart with his alliance. He annoyed too many people, exploded on too many people to win, and unnecessarily made a target of himself, but he had some good strategic ideas.
Nicole (BB2) - 7 - I don't really remember BB2, but Nicole and Hardy did own a lot of the season, but Nicole let Will play her.
Monica (BB2) - 6 - Again, I don't really remember this all that much, but I don't remember her being a big strategist at all.
Hardy (BB2) - 7 - Played a great game with Nicole, except he didn't need to backstab so many people in order to keep around the manipulator. That was a huge mistake, and costs him several points.

Joshuah (BB9) - 7 - Did okay strategically, but fell apart with his alliance. He annoyed too many people, exploded on too many people to win, and unnecessarily made a target of himself, but he had some good strategic ideas.
