This week the Big Brother 25 jury begins with the evicted houseguest taking up residence in the jury house. How well have these potential jury members done this season? How well have they played? Here are our rankings.

  • Social: 4 / 5
  • Strategic: 5 / 5
  • Competitions Won: One HoH

Cory has been consistently strong throughout the entire season. His social and strategic games have kept him out of the line of fire to the point that his showmance, alliance with America hasn’t been really targeted by anyone yet which astounding in itself. Cory’s biggest moves so far have been spearheading the demises of both Jared and Izzy. Cory’s greatest strength is in gathering information and using that information to his full advantage. Don’t let his age fool you. Cory is a sly schemer.

  • Social: 2 / 5
  • Strategic: 5 / 5
  • Competitions Won: Three HoHs, Two Power of Vetoes

Despite his social game being quite rocky with the houseguests catching on that he uses the same emotional spiel on everyone, Cameron has been a challenge beast and has proven he has the best strategic mind in the game this season. Like Jag though, Cameron was unanimously voted out and therefore any win will be subject to severe criticism and scrutiny. There is no denying that he was a powerhouse though on every front except his transparent social game.

  • Competitions Won: Three Power of Vetoes

Let’s deal with the elephant in the room. If Jag does win many will put an “*” beside his name because technically he was unanimously voted out of the house. Only Matt and the Power of Invincibility saved him. At that time, he was playing a very weak game. Since he has returned though and formed that partnership with Matt, Jag has proved himself to be a real force in the game. His three veto wins have played a crucial part in sending Hisam, Cameron and perhaps Cameron again, home. Like Matt, he has risen to be a very strong influencer, although one wonders if that is from his personality and strategic mind or his incredibly verbose droning wears the listeners down psychologically.

Matt is the true dark horse of the season with the strongest social game out of anyone in the house. At the start, he did have trouble finding his way but ever since using the Power of Invincibility and becoming close to Jag as The Minutemen, Matt has emerged as a stronger, far more leading influencer in the house, really working whoever becomes HoH and formulating strategic moves with Jag.

  • Competitions Won: None

America has a very strong social game with most of the houseguests seeing her as their flirtatious little sister. She has worked solidly with Cory, who is the real mastermind of the pair. She has flopped, been dreadful in the majority of the challenges. She and Cory did get Izzy out, initiating a flip that did change the course of the game.

  • Social: 4 / 5

  • Competitions Won: One HoH

Mama Felicia may be well liked in the house but since she is easily rattled, often plays with her heart and not her head, she isn’t seen as a dependable ally. Her gameplay and loyalties are just too erratic for most to hitch their wagons to. Her biggest move so far was working with Jag to get Hisam out.

  • Social: 3.5 / 5
  • Strategic: 2 / 5
  • Competitions Won: None

Blue’s game primarily consists of her social interactions and hiding behind bigger targets, pushing them in front of her. Once Jared left she had to really start playing the game. Before that, she would whisper in people’s ears and nothing more. Her strategic and social games have currently bottomed out with even her closest ally Jag considering sending her to jury sooner rather than later.

  • Social: 5 / 5
  • Strategic: 3 / 5
  • Competitions Won: None

Cirie was cruising along with a much higher rating at the start of the game. She was playing the game that Survivor fans would recognize immediately: influencing key decisions and playing a phenomenal social game. This consistent level of gameplay has won her Snake in the Grass, the American version of Traitors and Survivor finishes of fourth and third. But, since losing her allies and briefly becoming a massive target alongside Jared, Cirie has shifted into the background making us wonder if her entire purpose on entering the Big Brother house was to support her son and his game? She even volunteered to stay on the block this week. Will Cirie reemerge as a persuasive player? That remains to be seen. For now, her game is tanking hard with each passing day.

From her pre-game interviews you would think that the former professional tennis player, a judge and a DJ would tick all the Big Brother boxes and emerge to be a crafty competitor and a challenge threat. Not only has Bowie not been much of a player, she’s the perfect example of a floater, but she has been as boring on the show, the live feeds as watching a Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves. It is quite easy to forget that she is even there in any capacity.
