    I think that as time goes on, Xavier's win will be remembered in a more positive light. Yes, he played an incredibly passive game, but at the end of the day, he perfected the two things a good BB player needs to win the jury: social positioning and the respect of the other players. No matter how big his threat level got, it was too much of a detriment to the power player's games to get rid of him, and that positioning and the respect such a position projects is what earned him that 9-0 vote.

    • @IsmailTube999
      @IsmailTube999 3 ปีที่แล้ว +82

      100% agree here! I think a lot of people underrate X’s game cause he never needed the “showdown” with the other strong players in the house due to his positioning. So watching it live it felt that it was handed to him, but X kept the ultimate goal at the forefront no matter what and knew when and how to take shots. And it got him to the end.
      Years down the road his game will be remembered as one of the most flawless

    Xavier's win is so strange, but interesting and complex at the same time. He's a solid all arounder who's opposition and allies built him up, but ended up taking each other in the process, or let their own vices/ego's self implode. He took opportunities that came to them while his allies did the work for him, and he focused on the final 3 being people he was close too, but everyone made those opportunities, yet it could've gone all so wrong for him. And yet, he's not a bad player.
    Trust me, I don't hate Xavier either, I think he's a decent winner, nowhere near the bottom, and I'm glad he can help his nephew. Butttt yeah seeing him return would be so interesting.

      How do you figure? The BB community called X wins as a while by week 3... And everybody by F11 knew if X made F2 he would win and he still won... That is the hardest thing to do and mist impressive and hardest thing to do... When EVERYBODY knows if you make F2 you when... It took hannah until F7 to want X out first... AT F7 he had 4 ppl wanting him to go to F3., by F6 he had 3 players wanting him F3 two of which wanted him F2 and ultimately all 3 wanted him F2... If Xavier wasnt a black make he would have been looked at as a God for that fact... Xavier won this game due to Tiffany's horrible social game inside the CO... People will push the narrative that tiffany was this great social player and treat player over all but she really wasnt and she lost this game the second she lost Azah pre jurry... X was focused on Alyssa who he wanted to make F7 so she would do what he wanted if she won it F7 and made sure he had ppl inside the 6 to take out ky or tiff at 6... While Tiffany was focused on Dx who everyone wanted out ASAP and had no chance to make it far and claire who was completely uses in the game... That is hirrible game play... For someone who is considered a great stratagust she should have planed ahead instead if waiting for F7 after she showed ky she didnt have his back to convince ky he needs you work with them and take her an hannah to F3.... most ppl will lie to get likes on social media by saying tiffany is great but anyone with a brain will say she made too many mistakes to be pushed as this great player... X played flawlessly

    I definitely think Xavier deserved the win yes tiff was the mastermind behind the cookout but X took advantage of it. They had chances to get rid of him but they fumbled. X had a great social game and made strategic moves that benefited him. He used the cookout to benefit his own game and honestly I'd do the same. Yes they had a great goal as a group but I felt like a lot if them played for the group and end goal instead of their own game while X played more for himself I nstead of the group.

    Believe it or not, a lot of people, even in the current BB subreddit are saying X is like one of the best winners and he was the best player of the season.
    I disagree. Xavier's game is the kind of game I and probably many other fans would see themselves playing after they watched a few seasons and have only a surface-level understanding of the strategy of the game:
    1.) Lay Low in the beginning.
    2.) Don't play too hard
    3.) Throw comps and win when you need to only
    4.) Sit in your alliance.
    But, a lot of people I think, don't realize that while this game works in theory, that without a solid layer of protection of an alliance like the Cookout or the backing of a great strategic player, there are a lot of holes and missing components to playing a winning game that this blueprint doesn't satisfy.

    I think Xavier realized that A, he was protected by the cookout which all but ensured he’d have the votes regardless. And B, he could pretty much win any competition
    So he didn’t do a whole lot of the work in the early game because he didn’t need to. And when the game started reaching the end game he focused on securing his spot within the cookout whereas Tiffany was too focused on relationships outside of it.
    While it is fair to say the cookout helped him quite a bit, I don’t know if it’s fair to assume his game would have been the same without the cookout. I think he would have played differently had he not been so well protected

    He benefited from the teams twist cuz he was essentially on the ~strongest team, and he was protected by the cookout in the jury phase so he was always safe from ever going home. By the time he got to final six he was unstoppable, it was too late to get him out cuz he essentially won his way to the end. his only real competition would have been kyland but he's smart enough to get rid of him before the end. Tiffany didnt stand a chance because she killed her own game the minute she nominated Claire . In my opinion Xavier's game is not SPECTACULAR but he did just enough to nab himself the win.

      I think he makes it far in other seasons, as well. I don't think he wins, but he definitely makes it to jury. What we have to acknowledge is that X didn't go out of his way to make alliances with certain players b/c he didn't need to, and he didn't have to win competitions either. X could likely have developed many more relationships and won many more competitions.

    I personally have some mixed feelings about the cookout alliance. I understand the motivation for a black bb winner considering bb’s past (season 14), but certain aspects of the cookout alliance along with some of the individual people I feel detracted from the ultimate goal. In particular, once a black bb winner was guaranteed everyone in the house started practicing colorism, beginning to eliminate the people they deemed “less black,” despite how they were already guaranteed a black winner. I feel like everyone in the cookout tainted what they had achieved, and instead should have just started playing a normal game once a winner was guaranteed. Secondly, some members of the cookout were just not very good players on their own, and without a strong built-in alliance would have certainly been evicted.

He even went to apologize to Hannah only after Tiff told him to. Outside of Clair, Tiff and DX she had nobody. X had more connections than her and a better social game. X had the best social game within the CO, and since the CO is the strongest alliance in the house it would be smart to make sure you have the most social credit in that alliance. X prioritized relationships within the CO which was the smartest move, Tiff didn't. The whole "he wouldn't survive w/o the cookout" is a lame argument b/c most of them would've been gone w/o the Cookout, including Hannah. The past 8 winners were in big alliances that saved them and allowed them not to work as hard, so I don't hold that against X. Your point is that "X's social game isn't that good b/c his alliance was protecting him when he was targeted" but that's literally the point of an alliance lmao

    You know upong further reflection i do think there's not enough credit given to the idea that the winning strategy as actually position yourself in the strongest positon within the Power Alliance. I think we as viewers definitely emphasize the player who is the one pushing all the major moves in the game or masterminding the alliance, which is why so many people gravitated towards Tiffany.
    And when it comes to that final 6, I do think Tiffany for sure is the only one who actually beats Xavier in a jury vote because I think even he was aware of the fact that she had the biggest sway outside of the cook. Which is why he definitely methodically went after Tiffany and Hannah first.
    His game winning move was flipping majority of the alliance on Tiffany heading into that final 6. Individually outside of the cookout, Xavier definitely is an average player but there is something to be said for the fact that he was already planning out how to beat the rest of the alliance while Tiffany was still focusing on getting all six to the end.

    At the end of the day , people need to accept that luck is a skill . If a wad of cash falls from the roof , of course it’s lucky if someone finds it but they have to be standing in the right position for it to fall into their lap. Xavier put himself in the most likely position for opportunities to fall in his lap by being positioned in a place that made him the most logical option to choose. Outcomes change based on the environment and because there were so many people in this season who wanted to make big moves - Xavier basically served as the breathe of fresh air that people were unconsciously drawn to. But it’s still hilarious that the contestants gaslit themselves into thinking he was the best player - they really pulled that out of thin air .

    So basically he did nothing the whole game?? What a garbage winner ngl. As a black person. What a shame of winner. Tiffany, Kyland & Hannah wouldve been much better winners than whatever this garbage was. BB21 to BB23 is the worst lineup of seasons ngl.
    Xavier was literally handed the win. Same goes with Hayden and Dick.
