I hate Anthony, but the way he manipulated and ran the game was impressive. He really made some bad decisions near the end.
Firstly, I feel like Anthony didn't want to take Lexus because of the "history" they mention and he probably thought she was likely to win as the first black female BBCAN winner. Definitely a mistake on his part as I think Lexus not cutting Anthony at F4 was a game losing move, and Anthony would have beaten her. Jury did not seem to respect Lexus' game.
Even against Bayleigh, he had a chance if he actually owned his game. Why not talk about all the seeds planted to break up the girls, the invented lies to get Kayla out, how he was able to convince so many people to put their #1 as the backdoor. Instead he talked about his tragedy BEFORE the game and then how he's a great player and never on the block over 2 seasons. He came off as a lazy manipulator that took naps and betrayed everyone, and did not give any specific examples.
Finally, he should probably not have cut Victoria. She really was playing for him to be in the F2, and he would have beaten her. If Victoria was still there, all the girls would probably feel betrayed by her rat game and loyalness to Anthony over all of them. With her getting cut by him, she also had a huge influence over the jury against him.
