By "Golden Boy," I was referring more towards 1) How people see him, and 2) Just their overall chances of winning.

To set the record straight, both Jacob & Oswald have picture perfect social games, that's a given. But my point is that it seems like with Jacob, people seem so willing to overlook his messiness strategically since he's been "such a nice guy," hence the Oswald quote I pointed out.

Furthermore, Jacob has been a lot more visible in the edit than Oswald. Oswald's edit has been primarily CP/MOR, which is not what you'd really expect from a golden boy, and he certainly hasn't done anything really over the top to earn that status other than merely getting past each vote.

Jacob on the other hand, seems almost untouchable, and we just had an entire episode dedicated to how awesome of a person Jacob is (I know that's over-simplifying things, but you get my point, I'm sure). Not only that, but he wasn't ever really targeted until the last episode (and look what happened), despite his messiness strategically. As bad of a player as he is, everything still ends up magically working out for him so fucking well, on top of the fact that he's had such a glowing, positive edit the whole season, which was even further illustrated last episode, and now we see that he likely has the best chance of winning of everyone in the final five.
