Lol 7.5 was much more accurate and still generous. A 6.5 or 7.0 is more appropriate IMO. We have people like Dan at 10. Derek 10. Taylor’s game is a fair bit better Kaycee game but worse at comps. Taylor had a lot of very cringey moments in DR and in the game. Her hoh, the headphone incident, both super cringey.
her strategic game isn't good enough to justify her being better than Nicole Franzel who was actually playing actively and strategically. I think her fans influenced you severely.
the “girl’s girl” alliance is the exact reason why I hate that term, women who use it are never truly a “girl’s girl” in the way that they think they are 😂
You'd think letting ladies be all...well like a lady around dudes would give them a hand. Considering how women today preach about how men act so tough, but are rather stupid, this game literally poses that question for who can win: the toughest or the smartest? Therefore have beautiful female competitors in the game can make men fall off their game, since everyone knows that they aren't thinking with this.....🧠
The important things about having females team up together is that they should use every strength their advantage, whether be their physicality, their intelligence, or even their beauty. Unfortunately, women think that they need more of just one of those three more than another, blinding themselves to realizing how that could be an advantage together. My mom always stated that every time she watches a lot of those shows where females try to team up only for it to go down because of their failure to realize all three.
A pageant girl in general. And knowing her personality and social abilities. Like Monte I like you but it was closed casket as soon as the top 2 was chosen.
to be fair, taylor did sit on that eviction chair more times than anyone else. he thought they hated her, and likely didn't realise they she was building up her social rep throughout the show
That also got me- 😂 but as someone who’s autistic that scene seriously triggered me as well😭 Idc she was autistic or not, the way they handled that situation was ableist as sh*t. I had to literally pause the video for a few minutes to collect myself again and push some old, plentiful, memories back outta my head. I was a mess.
well she wasn't as good of a player as ppl are propping it up to be and I learned from Lala in the BB24 tier list she wasn't above average nor top 3 in her own season. Great person, Mediocre skillset
20:17 OMG. Joseph saying "You are not a shield" to Taylor just clicked to me on why he was grinning ear to ear during the jury speech. Taylor mentioning "I am not a shield, I am a sword" brought so much meaning since it was something she heard from Joseph, that's so beautiful.
I remember watching that moment live, and I was already tearing up during her speech and when she said she wasn't a shield, I turned to my partner and just started bawling while telling him "that's what Joe told her 😭😭😭😭" honestly, that speech was one of the most beautiful moments imo, in the game's history.
@@myt110 girl they were SOBBING, i was so confused 😭 like it's really not that deep enough for you to be sobbing that way, daniel. i genuinely thought something bad had happened to her, but no, she just left the show.
@@ReiAnikaAyanami honestly when he choked up while reading the letter I just burst out laughing. It's so ridiculous she just left calm down ya'll can hang out when the show is over she's not dead
@Hillsgh see when you claim Taylor was entitled when she never was you show that you have biases against her and that you don’t care about her kindness throughout the season and how well she treated her houseguests despite how badly she was treated in the beginning. Nobody is perfect and you are telling on yourself by trying to use one example of behavior as proof Taylor wasn’t kind despite the many many examples of when she was, and you didn’t even name an actual example here you just twisted/fabricated one 🙄
I feel like we shouldn’t be scared to point out the fact that a lot of the hate taylor faced was 100% colorism/racism. She’s a dark skinned women and they labeled her as “explosive” hmmmmm. Daniel straight up said he could tell “what kind of person she was” as soon as he saw her. It was very clear
Especially since she was so gorgeous & a pageant girl. Labeling her as a “boys girl” or a “pick me” without any justification just seems like typical demonization of a girly girl for no reason. As if people assume she thinks she’s better than other people, when that was absolutely not the case.
Well researched. Well thought out. Taylor played the entire game with one arm tied behind her back. With her resilience and intelligence, she achieved the most remarkable and epic victory in Big Brother history.
@Hillsgh she stayed week one because of a twist and literally the only jury member who voted for her that wasn't a done deal after their eviction was Terrance. Like these are claims with no proof lol
@Hillsgh oh god seek help, the game was never rigged in her favor and no one was tipped off about any of their bullying toward Taylor, hence why you still had people like Terrence and Monte treating her like shit long after the leftovers was formed! As for the week 1 twist production made that twist before any of this drama happened, and even if they technically could have gone through with the first eviction after Paloma left, she still would have survived the twist for the reasons Ethanimale mentioned! It also needs to be said that production was never really pro Taylor even as she was gaining more and more favor among the fans! When Taylor was being mistreated production did nothing to rectify the issue and even their editing in the first few weeks didn’t paint a good picture regarding just how badly Taylor was being treated! It was only after Nicole and Daniel blew up on her that production even acknowledged the mistreatment and took steps to tell the evictees about how their actions toward Taylor were being perceived in their exit interviews! Stay mad if you want but I suggest you evaluate your biases and delusions before you spew nonsense like that 😂
also at the final 7: not only did taylor convince monte and turner to flip and target some of the girls, but she convinced them to target DIFFERENT girls so that alyssa and britney, who would still protect her, would individually be safe with only 1 guy each after them
@@devondonato4609 I disagree. When Monte and Taylor talked, she painted Alyssa as the target. When Taylor and Turner talked, it was painted that Brittany was the target. Taylor was safe no matter what…
@@BgcBad Alyssa was OUTSIDE the alliance while brittany made a gentleman’s deal for Michael. There was literally nobody else to target you’re giving her credit for nothing. Brittany was on the outs the rest of the game for flipping to Alyssa
The way these people treated her in the first few weeks is disgusting. They saw a beautiful, smart woman and decided on the spot that she would be the universal scapegoat.
She got put up on the block SIX TIMES and every time she came down off the block and got into a better STRATEGIC position than she was in the week before! She formed GENUINE personal relationships with a third of the house and got brought into the dominant Leftovers alliance! And, finally she became the WINNER of BB24 by simply being her authentic self and showing the other houseguests who exactly that person is by treating EVERYONE with love, kindness and grace, being not a shield but a sword, and not a victim but a VICTOR!! Also, that finale performance was 🔥🔥 That is just so remarkable and we will likely not see anything like it ever again!! 🥳🙌
What I love about Taylor is she's actually really underrated in her social game. Its thanks to her work on Monte and Turner she turned the target to Michael. She also has enough social capital to turn the targets on her to others instead. She also has one of the hands down best jury management of BB players ever and its what means the difference between getting 500k or 50k
This season meant so much to me. As a poc I’ve seen how poc have been treated on this show. Literally EVERY one of them had their games obliterated due to racism, stereotyping, and microgressions. It wasn’t until S23 when Xavier won that gave me hope. But Taylor’s win completely moved me. Every week she had people hating on her for breathing. She was on the block 6 times and got herself off it at least 5 out of the 6 times. Her social game was something I’ve never seen before. She was the one who convinced Turner and monte to back door Michael. She got close to Indy and jasmine right before they went to jury and that’s how she got their jury votes. Taylor Hale you will always be an icon!
Micro-aggressions happened to everybody on the show if they're white or black or whatever and most of the time the reason they go home is their own actions like Bayleigh, Davonne, etc. Taylor didn't convince Turner to do anything everybody knew Turner didn't have the ego to even be possibly manipulated by a woman, he was going to do whatever Monty did. As for Monty he was always against Michael and was the original person to take him out, he even brought this up in the split house week he'd take him out around final five or six.
@@devondonato4609 micro aggressions do not happen to white players. White players have never had their games sunk for being wrongfully perceived as aggressive due to their race. When Davonne and Bayleigh were evicted in seasons 18 and 20 respectively they did sink their own games but in BB22 they were clearly the victim of microaggressions from several houseguests. The microaggressions Taylor experienced never would have happened if Taylor was white, because this show has had plenty of white mods and the like who never had to deal with anything close to the amount of bullshit Taylor experienced on this show, so stop trying to minimize this harmful behavior my misrepresenting how it happens 🙄
@@JRJuggernaut1 Microaggressions go beyond a persons race and goes hand in hand with an individuals identity so yes white people can face that. It is extremely wrong to say the only micro aggression that ever happens is black players being perceived as aggressive(also sometimes this actually holds true with certain people). Travis was sent home first for literally no reason by Frenchie other than being a "meathead" that looked like a big threat. Davonne and Bayleigh caused their own downfalls by being the most obvious duo outside of the committee. If they had went through true micro aggressions they would have NOT have lasted as long as they did over NICOLE ANTHONY, Jaysar, Keesha, etc. Taylor probably got the rawest deal out of any black person that ever played big brother yes but she kind of deserved to go home first week anyway with how messy she was playing.
@@devondonato4609 omg you are delusional: 1. White people cannot face microaggressions, yes they can be the victim of biases, but they are never marginalized or mistreated purely for being white so stop perpetuating these lies and misconceptions! 2. Travis’ eviction was not actually the result of any microaggressions, it was the result of Frenchie’s extremely messy week 1 HOH where he was basically forced to target Travis after various missteps on his part, but that Travis was never mistreated in any form 🙄 3. Davonne and Bayleigh did not cause their own downfalls in BB22, Bayleigh was evicted because Christmas is the worst and no one was willing to stand up to her when she made what was a personal and vengeful move that was due to her own biases and intolerance. If you think people like them caused their own downfalls given how lacking the gameplay was from most players, you are delusional plain and simple! 4. Taylor’s only messy gameplay was during her first HOH, she did nothing to deserve going home week 1! The only misstep she made was telling Monte what Paloma said about targeting the guys, but Paloma only got mad because she was desperately looking for an excuse to target Taylor, and she wound up accusing Taylor of lying despite knowing that she did talk about targeting the guys in front of her! Taylor being on the block was mainly the product of other people’s microaggressions toward her, so if you think Taylor committed any true wrongdoings during that first week you are factually wrong, just saying 🤷🏼♂️
"Regardless of how wonky it all played out, Taylor once again SURVIVED." This is such a good summary of this whole entire season. I, for one, am not a fan of squeaky clean games, as usually players with the highest capabilities for strategic and competitive prowess often have those abilities bc their privileged identities. I appreciate how you point out Monte had far fewer obstacles to overcome, bc I think that highlights how two different individuals can work equally as hard in the game but have vastly different resumes. I think bc Monte's resume is closer to what we see from a "traditional" BB winner, he seems to be more successful. What that misses is how for a player like Taylor, survival IS success. I said from the beginning of BB24 that it reminded me a lot of BBCAN, and I think that has do with how much fight is in most of the players, especially Taylor. There is less of a focus on being the "perfect" player and more on fighting for survival, which makes for a more engaging story tbh. The reason this season was so crazy to watch was not because it was a perfect fairytale, but because regardless of how wonky it played out, Taylor survived. Anyway, I'm sure you're tired of hearing this, but a wonderful video as always. I did not even flinch at the length bc (as you alluded to) there will never be enough time in the world to explain why Taylor's win is so gratifying to fans. It's an experience that goes far beyond the confines of this season. Instead, it's rooted in the long-standing history of the show's social structure and how impactful it feels to see somebody, finally, start to break them down. Thanks for all you do!!!
As a person who watched the live feeds and the live show, it was still so confusing on how in the world Taylor ended up in a final 2 chair. This video clarified her journey for me. Did not realize the amount of work she put in off camera that nobody got to see.
Honestly a big reason is she fooled around with monte. Super trashy move considering she had Joseph feelings too. If that didn’t happen then monte takes Joseph to the end. Monte wasn’t the brightest either.
@@MegaJuniorJones one enough of this lie, her hookup with Monte was NEVER about game, it was due to a combination of being in the house for so long, along with Taylor being gaslit into thinking Joseph never cared about her. If the after party never made up lies about Joseph, something that could only happen due to the split house twist, then Taylor never would have given Monte the time of day romantically speaking, and she ended things after the show not because she was playing him but because she was over his misogynistic behaviors that were only shown on the feeds! Yes, Taylor did convince Monte that he could easily beat her in a final 2 situation, but she didn’t use their showmance to do that, she simply played to his ego and confidence that his comp wins and strategic game would be enough to seal him the win! Let’s stop pretending like Taylor did anything morally wrongful!
@@MegaJuniorJones also, she had a crush on Monte when she got in the house. They would have definitely had a shomance if the game didn’t start the way it started. Let’s not act like her attraction for Monte came out of nowhere as some ploy to win the game. She was literally crying in the tub when he said he wanted space. Do y’all even watch the show?
@@JBSCORNERL8 that but also had she known about the misogynistic remarks Monte had said about her behind her back she never would have even bothered with him in any romantic capacity!
Haven’t watched it, but I know you’ve been working on this for months now, and for that I thank you for your hard work. I really love watching your videos (especially the winner analysis), I appreciate everything you do for your loyal viewers. Now I can finally write my 6 page charity speech for my AP Lang class while listening to this video like a podcast.
Oh and a final note Taylor was originally going to go on The Bachelor before BB. She was even coached by the Game of Roses podcast. Her episode with them is worth a listen.
Someone said Monte's best game move was turning everyone against Taylor. And if you think about it, it was a good move for him because if he didn't, he would have been labeled the threatening target. Monte knew Paloma lied and still decided to push a damaging narrative, knowing that implicit bias needs no fuel from him to thrive. That's why he still talked badly about Taylor during their horrid week-long romance, he was hoping that the seeds he planted in the first week would still work for him, that's why he was so confident he'd win against Taylor, because he thought the jury still hated her. Taylor deserved every bit of that win, she worked tirelessly in that house (live feeds, iykyk) and Monte ironically had WEEKS where he was inactive, that's why his speech was 'blah'.
Watching this season was highly entertaining compared to a few recent seasons. But when you recap it like this, it truly goes down as one of the craziest of all time.
So so glad you're back! Excited to watch this, she was such a great winner and her story was so captivating and I know from you're other story videos this will be great!
Watching Taylor’s BB journey again gave me chills. I remember thinking each week Taylor’s game would soon be over, but she pulled out the improbable win. Can’t think of another player with such an intriguing, karmic path.
If I was sitting in the top two with Taylor and seeing her speech, I would surrender at that point. xD The surprising part is her convincing Terrance to vote for her as well!
My preseason pick was Taylor and Michael they both did great and benefited each others game equally. They both deserved a win. So happy for Taylor her speech was probably top 3 of all time for big brother
Paloma was 100000%%% just so damn insecure like.. ik that girl was depressed or smthn, instantly bashing taylor and then quitting over the stress? like i already know she has body dysmorphia or smthn cuz its inexplicable
The speech she gave at final 2 was 100% influenced by her experience having to improvise during pageant segments. The cadence and choice of words there are so familiar as someone who's watched plenty of pageants for my high school social studies class. It's really uncanny.
I am a year late but thank you for this video. I just finished the season last week and it was really great. I was crying with Taylor in the beginning when Daniel went off on her.
Amazing video! Great work! The best Underdog story. It was Amazing to see her never quit and kept fighting to win! She deserved it!❤ and I have to say that you were probably one of the few live feeders who thought that Monte would have voted Taylor out at final 3 lol. We were all praying that he won the final 3 round against Turner because we knew that he was going to bring Taylor no matter what! WE knew that she had a 99.9% chance of winning the game and a 100% chance of winning AFP! 😊Ps: I wish you would have broken down her fauxmance with Joseph because it helped create critical bonds with the girls, especially with Indy. Indy began having a soft spot for Taylor because of her strong friendship she had with Joseph. The fauxmance really brought Indy, Jasmine and Alyssa closer to Taylor. OVERALL amazing analysis, I give you a score of 10❤
This might be a hot take but I could care less if no one on this cast returned in future seasons. I enjoyed the cast, but feel like I didn’t care for anyone besides Taylor, which I feel shouldn’t come back because it would take away from her amazing story line. This might again be just me but I found half of this cast extremely annoying with a few players I thought were okay to above average
The first few days we so uncomfortable to watch cause it seemed allt he other girls were just jealous of her and convinced themselves that she was bad.
I think its super inpressive that she not only was she on the block 6 times and survive but she was on the block most of those times as the target and not the pawn. Yet she pulled it off. That to me is very impressive and to only have a total of 2 votes agenst her that entire time.
She was the only bright spot this season for me and Michael winning those comps. I’m glad she won. I don’t like when ppl say she’s one of the best tho, this game lacked good gameplay from nearly the entire cast and she was just the one person to latch onto. Awesome person, not a top tier winner.
@@rank1562 yah she’s like right in the middle. I’d put her in like the Ian, Steve, Jordan category of winners. All people who played very average games but I was super happy when they won too. They had good winner stories.
I haven’t watched BB or Survivor in years because of the hatred, targeting and bullying of black people on these shows to get them out first. This is triggering behavior because a lot of black women face this very same behavior in the workplace and the response to this mistreatment is to be gaslight. The way they treated Taylor was disgusting and it was due to jealousy.
You can see Taylor's pageant side come out during her goodbye messages and her speech at the finale. This is not a criticism btw. As a pageant girl it makes sense that she's had training in eloquence since they have to answer questions during pageants to appeal to a jury. She didn't overlook that side of the competition and used her skills very well !
i came to these comments to say just that. her speech brought me and my sister to tears when we watched it. she felt so genuine and it felt like a history was made when she won. as a black woman, it felt like she stood up for all black women and said “we will not back down”, shit had me sobbing. and the way she spoke, you could tell it was her pageant side but i didn’t care, she gave her all to this game and was so deserving of that win
I feel like it helped her the whole game, they all pre-judged her bc she was a pageant queen, thinking it meant that she had negative traits, but they judged her for the wrong reasons. It meant that she had incredible people skills, I don’t know anyone who could win a competition when they had all the cards stacked against them the whole time.
Man I feel like I am the only person in a sea of comments totally disagreeing with everybody else. Now I don't watch Big Brother so I only have this video to go on but to me everything makes sense. Paloma was trying a Queen Bee strategy so she needed a victim to show her power. She chose to ostracize the girl who wins in pagentry as she would become a threat eventually. Easy choice for week 1. Even funnier is that she was completely correct in hindsight as Taylor did win. Same with Daniel, he was trying to set himself up a the leader of a group while also being a good guy whogoes to bat for his friends and so wouldn't get voted out. For that he needed a bad guy and Taylor was once again an easy target. She just played it smarter than him. Proving that she is actually a big threat.
Exactly I was so infuriated watching this season but also it's one of my all-time favorites due to Taylor's perseverance and her amazing comeback and her graciousness to the other house guests really touched me!
@@shadowcloud1994I pretty much agree with everything you said my problem was Daniel went in way too hard on Taylor, and nobody initially stood up for her it was really nasty to watch
it was racism. she wasn't acting in ANY type of way that first week. And to go out and say "ive heard you've been rubbing people the wrong way" I would have LOST IT. she's better than me.
Dude monte was like one of the main reason for the bullying and even used his ethnicity for affirmation, it has more to do with jealousy but racism did fill also fill a role but on a weird way. Like because they're supported by a minority they have now permission to bully Taylor lmao
@@peenoice5176 its called misogynoir. racism against black women specifically. and he weaponized his blackness to allow it. super disappointing. its like giving a non-black person "the n word pass". js because a black person said its ok doesnt make it okay. :/
@@melaniecolie7349 black women are just so amazing that they(people like that) have to bring black women down to their level just to feel better about themselves. It’s like how men have to tear down a woman to keep her, because on average women are better than men.
The one thing that still puzzles me from this season is the reaction everyone had toward Paloma leaving. All these people were bawling for someone they had known for a week?
Honestly, hated the way Paloma, Nicole and Daniel treated Taylor. The 3 of them seemed like they would have been bullies in high school. Really unlikable individuals. IMO.
@@jaar1732 idk what those two other washed up has been (paloma and daniel) do, but nicole is a cop so i would hundred percent belive that she was a mean bully in high school.
I don’t use this lightly but actually she sounds bitter and insecure over Taylor’s looks. Because comparing her to an evil witch? I’d bet if she was an attractive non black woman she wouldn’t have been trying to villainize her so unjustifiably so early on.
@@kaisetic3150she doesn’t seem like the type of person to feel bad . Not like she just literally started on people for no reason dragging people down with her
Crazy how they wanted her to be a “girl’s girl” but a true girl’s girl would not judge a girl for hanging out with guys. A girl’s girl supports other women and does not shame, much less assume a girl is using her looks to woo men…. The girls in the first week were so frustrating
Exactly! Girls support girls, they don’t tear them down for hanging out with a guy. It’s really sad to see them misinterpret her kindness to everyone 😊
got so pissed , taylor literally did Nothing but be black and beautiful and paloma was quick to judge her as a ‘guy’s girl’ and stuck-up . it’s really upsetting , especially since paloma herself is a person of colour and has certainly dealt with being judged based on her ethnicity 😭
unfortunately its very much a thing. And sadly these women have to deal with double the prejudice from all 3 facets between race and gender.@@StrandCanvasStudios
Week 1, we wanted her out just so she could be away from the toxicity and shower her with love. And we stressed. And we were rewarded and SHE SLAYED IT!
She didn’t actively save herself with veto or anything most weeks. Most weeks she wasn’t the target so wasn’t at risk. Much like Victoria wasn’t the target but in the block constantly. It wasn’t like a Frank at risk situation where he had to constantly save himself.
@@MegaJuniorJones but the big difference was Victoria never actively did anything to save herself, she just had people whom saw her as a layup and would never take her out over a bigger threat! Taylor had to make moves that put her in a position and even then she was being underestimated in her case and that really worked to her advantage all season!
The sheer ego and arrogance (and probably a little sexism) of Monte and Turner in underestimating Taylor in the finale to the point of Monte eliminating Turner thinking he'd be the biggest jury competition and Turner voting for Monte because he thought everyone else was going to is HILARIOUS to me. I am sure they were both absolutely baffled.
Paloma, Daniel, and Nicole's behavior this season was sooo dispicable that it made me stop watching for the rest of the season. It wasn't even remotely enjoyable to watch someone get so relentlessly bullied for absolutely no reason. I went to finish the season after hearing that Taylor had won the season. I'm glad I went back but rewatching the first few weeks was sooo tough. However the rest of the season was a great watch. Can't wait for this year's season in a few weeks.
As a black woman who watches Big Brother for certain stints at a time and season after season am a witness to how biased and impartial the audience and house guests are to the black women competing in the show, It was an honor to watch Taylor play with such grace and resilience and something short of a miracle to see the guests of the house band together to stick up for her when it counted. I cried the most sappy tears of joy watching Taylor win the main and AFP votes. She has set the best precedent and I cannot wait to see what she does next! I love a black woman from infinity to infinityy! ✨
have you seen that video that's like "dear bartender: you assume I can't drink a margarita, so you don't serve me a margarita, so I don't *drink* a margarita?" do you-do you understand
You see why most female alliances teams fail today now? The best female teams, utilize physicality, intelligence and beauty to their advantage. With women lecturing how most men “think they’re so tough, the fact is that they’re dumb”, having beautiful ladies in your female team would be an advantage. Since these ladies can get close to the men and attract them just enough into getting the men into telling them anything they’d like to hear. Therefore, they could inform the female team about what they know about these guys, and all their “weak spots”.
the way she broke down when she heard in week 1 that she wasnt making people feel loved was so sad, this is why you dont juge people on 1st impressions
I understood Taylor telling Nicole that it’s ok to “tap out” to mean that she was not going to be mad if Nicole did poorly (or possibly even threw) the Veto competition. I remember that line coming up right after a bit where Nicole had been asked to throw the comp so there wouldn’t be new nominees and Nicole wasn’t sure if she could do that because she’s a fighter or whatever. I thought Taylor was trying to be compassionate and supportive and telling Nicole, “If the best thing for your game is to tap out of this challenge, I get it. I know it’s a tough thing and the game makes you act different and you might have family stuff going on, so I’m not gonna hold a strategic decision against you.” I had to rewatch the exchange when it aired because I was confused about where Nicole got the idea that Taylor was trying to get her to self evict.
And if Ameerah said the same thing Nicole wouldn’t flip out at her it’s just that she didn’t like Taylor and wanted to make a scene to paint Taylor as a vile person
The problem is that people don’t like being told to “quit” or “give up”, I made the same mistake when I was part of a school organization. A fellow teammate was dealing with a lot of issues where they eventually got a wellness check and so i stupidly told them that if they want to quit or leave the organization, that is sometimes the best option or an okay option to do especially if it means their mental health improved. Of course, the person didn’t like that (which I understand) and so we h communicated in what I truly meant. That to me I thought that quitting was a fine option because I thought it was negatively impacting their health but they told me they didn’t want to do it because their mental health actually improved.
To build on what you tacked on at the end about Taylor leaving gifts for evictees, there's something about Taylor's gift to INDY that I want to shout out specifically: At one point in the game (might have even been that infamous week 1 moment where Paloma suggested Taylor try on and flaunt her dresses and then used that as "proof" of her conceitedness), Taylor noticed that Indy really liked one of the dresses Taylor brought into the house. When Indy was on her way out, Taylor remembered this and gave her *that very dress*, and Indy then *wore it on finale night*! Incredible incredible stuff. EDIT: I forgot to mention Indy didn't even know this happened until she got to the jury house and opened up her luggage!
@@Ethanimale I remember Indy talking about it in one of her eviction interviews, it was either The Secret Alliance or Nerdtainment, or possibly both. She mentioned that Taylor snuck in a dress or two without Indy realizing, and that she was planning to one on finale night.
Taylor is without question the best underdog winner BB history. What she did week after week. Remaining strong when a whole house was against her and as a black woman was beyond. I've never been so excited to have a winner like her in all the years of watching this show.
I love how Taylor proves that being kind to people despite them treating you horribly, forgiving those that wrong you, and showing love to others can still win the game. No lying, backstabbing, or hurting others, just kindness.
Truly, with winning miss congeniality and how she never stooped low BUT kept it purely competitive, she really embodies grace and kindness in the face of adversity!
@@klepsz8154 A lot of people point out, and rightly to a degree, that half the season she just got lucky with things lining themselves up for her to survive in the game.
I love how Taylor never tore down any of her fellow women in the house! In past seasons you could often find at least one of them tearing down others through remarks and negative actions while Taylor followed the golden rule of "do to others how you want to be treated". For her, she did just that through kindness. She inspired so many!
people were disgusting that first week. this is the best display of why we need intersectional feminism. taylor just existing as a beautiful dark skin woman made her a seductress who hates women. the jealousy & racial biases worked wonders against her. LOVE TO SEE THE UNDERDOG WIN. not a victim, but a victor, truly. also, her being called aggressive when she didn't come across that way AT ALL was so telling
a lot of the times non-black women are for “girls supporting girls” until one of those girls, especially a black woman, is prettier or smarter than them and suddenly their jealousy and hatred takes over
Beauty pageant girls have bad reputations. I remember during survivor there was a hot contestant who was targeted by a man bc he thought she was going to seduce her way to the end. Unfortunately her talking to the guys just fueled their paranoia.
Let’s not forget that back in the day stunning women were sometimes accused of bewitching and brainwashing men with their witchcraft. Watch Malena. That’s basically a summary of how other women treat stunning women. They are hating just for existing.😊
@@carmencapa6945 i agree, the sterotype of beauty pageants being fake, and too occupied with looks, competitions with other girls did not help with the biases people had about her because of her race, not to mention her amazing dark skin tone and honest, natural looks
@@bw2678 They're talking about her mistreatment in the house, not in real life, I'm assuming. Regardless of her outside life, the players had so much prejudice and misguided hatred towards her. That is not okay.
If you take Taylor out of this season. It would be a completely different season. Every episode, every eviction, every competition outcome was centered around her. The entire show was everyone trying to get her out and when they realized they couldn’t beat her, they joined her.
Taylor’s win was a reminder to me of why I love this show so much. Big Brother is not about being a comp beast. It’s about being strategic and making connections that’ll get you to the end. Taylor was able to do that and I’m so proud of her. I’ve been watching since season 1 when I was 11 years old and this is definitely one of my favorite seasons and my absolute favorite winner.
i understand why taylor was moved by turner backing her… it’s the worst feeling when people make the assumption that you’re an evil person and to have someone defend you must have been so heartwarming
Taylor Hale is the FIRST black woman to win a mainline Big Brother US show and the FIRST winner to also win America's Favourite Houseguest! One of my fav players with the best underdog stories + social games and absolutely love to watch her play again! #QUEEN #TaylorforAllStars 👸🏿🥰
I feel the same! And I hope her winning will lead to another Black woman winning the show someday (whether it be this year’s season or another in the future)
Taylor was bullied SO MUCH in the show and constantly put up on the block but each time she survived the night and no one could get rid of her. SHES A FIGHTER. I wanted her to win since really early in the game because she was so sweet and everyone disliked her for no reason. NO REASON AT ALL. Then next thing we know she made it to final 6, then final 3 and then we watched her go to final 2, then BOOM, SHE WON!!!! I'm so happy for her, she definitely deserved it
anyone who thinks a pageant girl doesn't like other women is ridiculous. it is super hard to obtain high titles like Miss Michigan if you cant relate to other women, you're traveling with and hanging out with girls constantly and the bonds get STRONG 💪weirdly, ego tends to fade into the background because everyone is hot and no one is allowed to date, lolll
Thank you for laying out and explaining Taylor’s social game to a perfection in a video and how amazing her journey was. The most satisfying winner in my personal opinion.
Yeah the only thing that make this season in the top 3 best seasons of big brother and best season of morden big brother is he Journey to win and being hated by no sense by half the house make one the best allances in one off the most incredible Live feeds ever make the final 8 and dont involving in some drama make a relathionship with monte being screwed by her and at thd end monte take her tô final 2 and we have the best final speech EVER the season is only good because off her besides we have some good caracteres if Taylor dont is in this season all off the drama and incredible moments we senn cold be diferently
I will share this video with haters that think she shouldn’t have won. When BB first aired back in 2000, it wasn’t designed for just cute muscular guys that are comp beasts to win. It was intended to be like an indoor isolated version of Survivor where you “ outwit and outlast” the other contestants. Taylor did just that in her own unique way.
@@AsraliaX2 her cards were being targeted in the first week due to some girl’s undiagnosed BPD. if she didn’t keep her composure in such a graceful manner, she’d have been gone in the pre-jury.
Michael himself admitted every houseguest that was evicted on his hohs always benefited taylor’s game more than his bc her social game was that good that he cared about it more than his. Plus the work she put in with Monte during Big Brochella was pinnacle for the trust Monte developed in her and her word in the later part of the game. By far the BEST social player this game has seen
@@MegaJuniorJones literally all of them. On his first hoh, he targeted Daniel bc of how hard he was going after Taylor even tho it probably would’ve been better for his game to keep a bigger target in the game. On his next, he targeted Jasmine who honestly everyone benefited from leaving the game but he wanted to possibly go after Monte but didn’t mostly bc he didn’t want to lose Taylor’s trust. The same reasoning was used when he targeted Terrance instead of Monte, another evictee that Taylor benefited the most from leaving the game. I’m pretty sure Michael talks about this in his deep dive with Taran. He gives Taylor’s social game a lot of credit for influencing the decisions he made in the game
she is not the best social player the game has seen at all. No influence on the game. Lisa, Dr Will, Maggie, Dan, hell even Kaycee had better social games
@@olivia-kj1fz Michael was always targeting Daniel that doesn't even make any sense. The leftovers agreed to target Daniel because the other side didnt like him either and would agree to it, he was literally the house pariah. The same thing goes with Terrance and Jasmine. Monte Brittany Kyle Joseph Turner as an alliance all benefited from people outside the leftovers leaving, im not sure what part about this is shocking or why we should give credit to them. Michael is a gay attorney who used racism against Kyle I'm pretty sure he knows how to butter people up and give them what they want which he has gotten away with a lot
Taylor's treatment was the typical black woman experience. Were constantly misunderstood and prejudged by people and the second we return that energy were aggressive and threatening. Seeing Taylor have to tip toe around everyone's feelings and not have to hold grudges is something she HAD to do. She had to be the bigger person and the one that takes all the abuse because the second she stands up for herself she's the aggressive one. When Daniel was gaslightiing her and blaming her for that girls departure I felt my blood boil. Because white people do that to us all the time. Her experience is pure racism and colorism. And her class and poise was so impressive. Her dignity was so amazing and you clearly see her pageant skills. Truly a queen!
Extremely well-made video, and it really made me appreciate Taylor as a player even more. If anyone wants to say that Taylor's win wasn't earned fairly, they should be given this video to watch.
Unfortunately many people are dead set on their dislike for Taylor, which is insane but at least the majority of fans know that her win was earned on several levels! I just have to wonder what is it about Taylor that make some people think she is fake and the exact person Paloma claimed her to be, despite the fact that even her bullies minus Paloma and Daniel completely changed their tune about her! It is a special kind of delusional but it is what it is! Not to mention, people are desperate to twist the narrative surrounding Monte and Taylor’s brief showmance, where they claim she hooked up with him to save herself, and that her distancing herself from him on finale night was more proof of that. But those who actually watched the feeds know she ended things with him when she did because she couldn’t handle his misogyny anymore but didn’t want to hurt her position in the game by saying something too soon! Anyone who convinces themselves of all these lies about Taylor needs to evaluate their own personal biases that would make them believe these lies in the face of all the facts disproving those lies!
It was actually Monte that had the most influence on Taylor being the target the first week. He believed Taylor was lying to him about Paloma and then he dragged Taylor’s name through the mud.
@@averie3881 it happened week one thats why Ameerah Jasmine and Monte made that comment about the cookout because Taylor used being black as a reason not to go on the block
I still feel so bad for Taylor cause of all the abuse she was put through. Taylor went through all the bull crap and still won. She is a strong woman. While her hohs weren’t the best her social game was great. 9 people on the jury, she convinced 8 to give her the win over monte who played a better game comp wise which is great. She also managed to get all of America to vote for her as favorite player as well.
The fact that Terrance, Jasmine, and India voted for her says ALOT. Terrance hated that girl. Even implied that Taylor is not a “real black woman” when he told Jasmine she’s not “one of us”. Monty should have had 4 votes on lock. Still probably would’ve lost though. But watching Taylor’s season right after Jackson’s was so satisfying. And great video. There was a lot in here I never knew. I’m that much more impressed.
I hope Taylor eventually becomes the next host. She really is the FACE of BB because I literally ONLY started watching because of her insane popularity on Twitter. Definitely gonna watch next season now too.
@@mattywestside8330 been watching since BB12, If Julie quits, Taylor would be a perfect rep. She is used to being a face on TV because of her pageants, is one of the biggest faces of big brother for new and old viewers.
@@mattywestside8330 julie chen is boring as hell and wrapped up in controversy, i personally would love a host who doesn’t look like she has a stick perpetually stuck up her ass
Unfortunately I stopped watching this season before the first eviction, after how they unfairly treated Taylor. I didn’t want anything to do with this season. I today see I made a mistake. I’m so happy she survived and won.
