Big Brother season 24 star Michael Bruner, a competition beast who was taken out during the week 9 double eviction, shared his thoughts on the criticism being directed at Big Brother 25’s competition beast Jag Bains. Michael is a Big Brother superfan, which made him both a competitive threat and a threat on the strategic side.
Aligning early on with Brittany Hoopes, Michael was the first houseguest to break Big Brother legend Janelle Pierzina’s record in Power Of Veto wins, winning six Vetoes. Though Michael could’ve easily been the winner, he was blindsided during a double eviction when Matthew Turner backdoored him, sending him to the jury house.
As Big Brother 25 rolls on, Michael has been sharing his thoughts on the game and recently explained that he feels criticism of Big Brother 25 comp beast Jag Bains is unfair. “So what we shouldn’t be doing is discrediting Jag and his wins,” Michael shared on Twitter.
So what we shouldn’t be doing is discrediting Jag and his wins. If I had played smarter I should have evicted the people who would have been toughest to beat in end-game comps, like Jag has done this season 😂 #BB25

“If I had played smarter I should have evicted the people who would have been toughest to beat in end-game comps, like Jag has done this season.” Michael’s tweet sparked controversy in the Big Brother fandom, as Jag has been called out for sloppy social gameplay that’s resulted in seemingly weak evictions.
Jag’s gameplay has been interesting throughout Big Brother 25, as he has been able to keep himself safe with competition wins. With a week still left in the Big Brother 25 house, Jag has racked up eight competition wins split between two HOH titles and six Vetoes.
Virtually unbeatable, Jag has evicted people aligned with him closely in the game in order to eliminate any competitive threat to him. While this works as a strategy during the game, Jag’s jury management has been difficult to watch. Still, Michael feels Jag’s “got this in the bag if he can get the right person next to him in the final 2.”
Props to Jag for surviving the double! I think he’s got this in the bag if he can get the right person next to him in the final 2 #BB25

Michael, who was a threat from all angles in the previous season of Big Brother, feels that Jag’s gameplay has been working thus far. In some instances, it has. For Jag, competitions have been his lifeline on Big Brother, and ensuring he’s continuing to win and keep himself immune from hitting the nomination block has been the cornerstone of his strategy.
The only issue with Jag’s style of gameplay has been his jury management, which leaves a lot to be desired. Feeling slighted by Jag, several of the members of the Big Brother 25 Jury of 7 may not want to vote for him after his part in their evictions.
All we need to do is see how all this plays out in a few days time. What are your thoughts on this?
