I used the left-right order as well, I dunno if other people do that but maybe there's some nuance there.
Letty: Not to fellate Letty for the twentieth time in a row but the show was basically about her. Someone like that could easily have become annoying, but she paced herself and was deliberate about including and playing off of others rather than shoving them out of the way. Mauro has Letty to thank for all the times he was interesting.
I think it will legitimately be hard for them to make a season 2 without someone with her personality polishing everyone. That's why she is the only exception for me about not bringing back old contestants.
Vance: Vance is that sort of A tier that makes you feel like he's a B tier because of how stubbornly he refused to become S tier. Like if Chris had only teetered on the stairs and not fallen and for a moment everyone got all bricked up thinking he would fall over and how funny it would've been if he had. If his girlfriend's phone was dead when they got their phones back and if he was on Adderall he coulda been S tier.
Jon: I agree with what everyone else said, it's not something he can take personal credit for but he was an icebreaker for over a week and a dependable virtual pet to stare at on days when the audience couldn't even interact and absolutely nothing else was going on.
Josie: C tier is "you were there" status. I know the editing has been crazy but I think it's really telling that Josie's "episode" so far was the worst one, and it was her being forced to do public speaking. I'm betting she never actually talked anytime they came upstairs and shoved a camera in her face, which is why she has been almost totally unrepresented in these episodes. I'm pleasantly surprised her fans haven't been complaining asking for more footage of her contributions on episodes 3-6 even though they know damn well that footage does not exist.
Freeloaders: I'm putting Lance above Chris because he redeemed the camping slog as well as he possibly could have, by engineering the biggest, realest conflict between contestants, in a very careful and balanced way. If Chris had, for example, managed to make Letty leave, it would have felt cunted. The fat motherfucker who chased Letty and only Letty for weeks finally makes her quit. People would have been baying for Sam to bring in an OF model to sleep in Vance's bed with him after that. Jet was the one who told Lance to take stuff, but Lance executed on it very carefully so that he looked like a hero for instigating it and Damiel looked like a massive bitch. I think Frank's struggle and why I rated him so low was that everyone in the house was expecting him to be a dick, so most of the reactions he actually got out of people were minimal or even just incorrect. I'll even write a little about Chip... Chip was the closest they will ever get to being able to bring a dog into the house, and that's why he was a great contribution to the show. A freeloader who everyone is happy to watch move around the house and vibe. A true virtual pet.
And yeah I don't get the hype for the entity either, they were never going to convince the cast that the house is haunted. It was mainly a toy for the audience on the eastern hemisphere to get excited about while looking at nothing.
