Big Brother: In hindsight, did Johnny Mac and Steve make a mistake by getting rid of Meg?

There has been a lot of criticism of John and Steve for their lack of moves in the game. I however believe they have been playing the game this whole time, but their moves are more subtle and personal than the moves an aggressive game player would make. Week after week they have been making moves to keep themselves in the game. Even if those moves are to make themselves invisible it is still a move. People criticized Johnny Mac for wanting to get rid of Meg over Austin & Liz. But for Johnny Mac's game it made sense. He is the goat, and you don't need two. However he did recognize the fact that he needed to pad his resume with a win so he could have a legitimate argument to win the game. But the problem for him is that Vanessa recognized that he was a goat that could take her spot in the final three. So now his back is against the corner and he has to win. He has no other choice, he must win this veto if he wants to stay in the game.

You could argue that if he had only kept Meg in this game that this final four could be very different and much more favorable to him. And perhaps that is the truth. He could have been in a final four alliance with James, Meg and Steve and could have run Austin, Liz, and Vanessa out of the house. But the fault for that decision lies with James and Meg. They only needed Steve and Johnny Mac to vote their way and they survive. But they didn't try to win their vote. They didn't try to make an alliance with them. That is their fault, not Johnny Mac and Steve's. Promise them final four if they vote for Meg to stay. So at this point Johnny Mac and Steve are on the block and that may not have been the case had Julia been voted out instead of Meg. But lay the blame on James and Meg, their inadequate gameplay caused their poor situation.

Johnny Mac and Steve made their best decision at the time that they could have. They lasted another week and they were one dropped egg (by Vanessa) away from being safe a second time. It was not a mistake to vote out Meg, it was the right call, it just turned wrong like it can so often do in the Big Brother house.
