The Phoenix: How Jag Bains Won Big Brother 25

  • Jag Bains, the most recent winner of Big Brother, is the topic of today. Jag's winning game is a bit of a roller coaster, as he was actually voted out during the season, but because of it, I think people make assumptions about his game and assume he was just a comp beast and nothing more. After going through the season though, I learned there was much more to Jag's game, and today I'm hopeful to share the light. This is the story of how Jag Bains won Big Brother 25.
    Just like every year, I definitely need to shoutout @TaranArmstrong as without his daily live feed updates and deep dive on BB25, this video would have been a nightmare to complete, so thank you Taran.

    I am so glad you brought up how Jag's late game "bad" gameplay moves were actually just him trying to represent his community in an honorable and positive light. Crazy how ppl can't see how much he wanted to make his community proud. He obviously wanted to win very badly but he wanted to be a positive Sikh role model even more. Props to him!

      That’s the exact issue… the holier than thou attitude that led him to believe that he couldn’t be a positive representation of Sikhs without making an “honorable” choice and framing the choices of other people as dishonorable. It wasn’t very honorable of him to isolate Felicia.

    I really feel like the beginning of this season was heavily warped by the inclusion of Cirie and her having such a powerful advantage in having the secret relationship with Jared. I really can’t fault Jag for his early game struggles because he, and really everyone else, was at such an information disadvantage. The fact he survived so many weeks of being the target when he didn’t know what all was truly going on was impressive.

    The scene where Cory and Jag are in the HoH room pitching a Me-Me vote to Cameron is an underratedly smooth and badass moment by Jag.
    Cory makes his case, it falls on deaf ears since Cameron doesn’t want to give Cory what he wants, Jag says “he’s actually screwing himself with this move” and that’s all it takes to make Cameron change his mind.

    I remember shortly after his win, there was a lot of coping about how Matt was the better of the two and got robbed but looking at it in retrospect yeah, Matt screwed himself over. Both fumbling his Jury Questions and prior to that letting Jag browbeat him into getting Cirie out.
    You didn't touch on it, but Matt also allegedly tried to blame Jag for all of his backstabbing during the exit videos and when the jury started comparing notes, it made them sour on Matt. So he literally pulled a Paul.

    I wanted to see America win the season, but she could never win anything after Premiere Night.
    Matt and Jag dominated the comps after Cameron was evicted. Cory’s biggest mistake was not splitting them up during the first double eviction, but I understand why he went for Jared.
    I believe Matt could have won if he highlighted his gameplay better like this:
    - Win against Hisam on Premeire Night and then go under the radar immediately.
    - Power of Invincibility to save Jag.
    - Save Jag’s game again by exposing Jared’s lies the day Izzy gets evicted.
    - Double Eviction Veto wins to seal Jared’s and America’s fate.
    - Highlight social game and alliances (The Fugitives, The Mafia, Cirie).
    - Sum it up by saying he did all this as a deaf person where whispering is necessary in talking game. There is no Jag the Comp Beast without Matt saving him twice in the first 50 days in the house.
