John is also one of, if not the best, at seeing the game from a big picture standpoint and strategizing how to make it to the final. To say he is not good politically is just denying the obvious.



yea idk why people would think bananas aint politically savvy, hes one of the best.

i would say bananas would be politically disadvantaged coming in now against CT. ct has too many friends now and is always befriending rookies. it would take some big social upheaval for bananas to pull any big rallying the challengers to vote down CT, his only real shot is hella risky being a 1v1 call-out type situation. this would depend on format of the season to play out and if its different then CT+friends would probably be gunning for bananas the whole season. it would probably be the reverse of prior seasons of CT vs the world, it would be bananas vs world.

Either it’s all a joke or none of it is. You can’t argue that CT is fantastic at xyz and then turn around and say that it’s all rigged. You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth.


The frick are you talking about? What you just said makes zero sense and isn’t representative of anything I said.

How? The guy doesn’t do anything politically. By the time the politicians of his alliance were gone from the show, Johnny had a built in rep from being part of that crew where no one really targeted him.

He either had amazing partners or his buddies with him, he mostly just sat back thinking no one would touch him. If anyone dare say his name, he whined about how he was a veteran and no one had enough stripes in the game to say his name.

In fact, Johnny usually didn’t make any big moves cause he knew as long as he didn’t ruffle feathers of any strong competitors he was good.

A lot of times he was on a team or group that won a daily he talked people out of making big moves. He wanted no part of it. He wanted no part in making political moves. He knew what was best for his game was to throw in obvious people who had no power to go after him.

That all seems pretty politically savvy.

You’re cherry picking when to treat the show as legitimate and when to treat it like tv.

When discussing Bananas? It’s tv and producers decide the outcome. When talking about CT? No mention of the entertainment aspect. He’s just great at the game.

So, either treat the whole thing as fake or treat it as legitimate, but don’t do one only when it suits your argument.

for real

hes not politically savvy he just had strong allies, convinced people to not call his name, and swayed decisions on big moves. a lot of bananas politics game came indirectly by influencing social shite in the house, he wasnt openly spearheading his agenda it was sneaky.

Yeah, this is such a weird hill to die on. As much as I don’t like John, he’s easily one of the best political players ever on the show.

I’m watching some of it now and CT would destroy Fessy in any sort of fight IMO. CT is like street tough/strong. Fessy is just big.

But I just wanted to post in here and say when they were talking about the boxing match, fricking Nelson spouts off with “Give the people what they want to hear!”
What they want to hear? Good job, idiot.

Amber, Michele, Amanda, and Tori look great. Also glad to see Maria Manounos back. But man, it just seems like Amanda is just so fricking miserable all the time. Maybe she’s playing up a certain character for the show, but she just seems like a miserable, mean person.

And Fessy is so bad with women that he just tries to bang any one that’s interested in him. Still proving that he just rides on his good looks and has zero game. When asked why he keeps being an a-hole to Amanda (and others), he’s just like “because I’m an idiot.”

This show just feels weird without an audience, but I think I prefer it that way honestly.

I’ll prolly watch the reunion on and off over the next day or two, just wanted to pop in here and point out how stupid Nelson is yet again.
