I haven't seen anyone comment on the fact that people just trust what BigB says??

Like, a big moment is after Joel killed Skizz

BigB was surrounded by Pearl, Gem, and Joel

Joel asks "how many hearts do you have?" and BigB replied "oh like 30" while only having 16 and a half hearts

AND THEY JUST BELIEVED HIM AND RAN OFF??

Big B is another high-Charisma player, he just rarely uses it in as flashy a way as Scar does. BigB is perhaps the most credible of any player on the server, in that he is almost always believed no matter what he says or does. His loyalty is rarely seriously questioned, even though he tends to spend large amounts of time away from his allies. When he relays information to people, even people he has no reason to be truthful with, they usually accept it. Even when he started saying literally crazy ridiculous things this season, people still wanted to believe him! You can literally hear Grian's brain caught in a reboot cycle during Ep 1 when BigB is telling him obvious, blatant lies and Grian's mind is still trying to somehow make them make sense. A little fib about how many hearts he has in front of a ton of enemies who want to kill him? Easy peasy.

I also loved the follow-up to this moment where Scott asked Gem why they didn't kill BigB and she was all, "I dunno, he said he didn't want to fight" and Scott reminded her that that would've been an excellent time to kill him since this was the final episode. Credibility!

(It's worth noting that the players themselves discussed this phenomenon themselves, that it was really hard to kill BigB when he could talk his way out of it, and that BigB's final two kills both took place when he'd accidentally muted himself.)
