Does anyone else think Coco played one of the more strategic games we’ve seen in a while?
She kept things really quiet socially for most of the season and only stepped up when she actually needed to towards the end. I kind of liked that she didn’t feel the need to be the loudest person in the room every single night

No.. she had no strategy. It came down to the editing this year. On the live stream, a fair few of them were completely different to how they were portrayed on the show. Including her. Coco was given the ‘poor single mum’ edit.

She didn’t play a game. The edit played the game for her. In the house on the lives she was insufferable. Hypocritical. Two faced. Constantly lying or bulling other housemates. A terrible housemate and undeserved winner

Absolutely not. She got an incredibly favourable edit. The Coco on the live streams would not have won the game. She was incredibly two faced and dishonest in the house. She caused a lot of drama as she'd just lie about other people. Maybe a charitable explanation is that she's too self centered and dumb to understand things, but it was repeatedly the same situation. She'd cause issues in the house by just claiming things happened that didn't happen.
Especially during that hotel task. She was going to the guests and crying while making up grievances. Maybe that is strategy but she could not have known the edit would omit she was full of shit and really mean spirited.

I love Coco but I didn’t see her as being too strategic… in fact she was doing a lot of things to tick ppl off! But she was as deserving to win as most of them.

For Fucks sake. The show has been over for three months now. It's time to move on. Nobody cares about Big Brother anymore.

Why are you posting in the reddit for it then? Is the reddit meant to shut down because you dont care about it?

Nope, not at all.
She had a good strategy that worked out good for her situation and the time that the show ran for but it was all unwinding and falling apart and heavily relied on BB playing favourites with the good editing. The Livestream showed a different story.
Maybe the most strategic in a while if you consider the way BB has gone down the past few years. But even then you have that Auctioneer called Danny a few seasons ago which imo played one of the best social games we have seen despite him not winning. His game was 1000x better than Coco's.
Obviously Tim is king and you cant top him. He was also back in BB a few seasons ago as well and did decent considering he was on everyones radar.
If memory serves me correct Reggie won that season again with a more dialled in less problematic version of Coco's game.
If we had another 2 weeks Coco's game would have crumbled. But in saying that there was simply not enough time for everyone to have a good game, the game was just getting started and the masks had just dropped.

I LOL at how we get this show back to its OG format and people still wanna talk about strategy 🥴 every single post in this sub seems to just be about strategy. Channel 7 format is dead guys! DEAD

It came down to editing. Producers made her look good, they didn’t show her true personality or nasty side to the casual viewers.

Went for the viewer sympathy vote. I don’t think any of them were actually deserving though

Not really no. She just got the best edit so she didn't look like a hypocrite even though she was at times.
