Rewatching season 12 and that line popped up from Bendan. Just as Britney howled, so did I. One of the funniest lines of the season.

I’ve watched all US seasons, but no Canada seasons. I wish I could say I’ve watched from the beginning, but been a “super fan” since season 17 and went back to watch all seasons on Paramount+. Big live feed watcher and Taran Armstrong content. Friends and family think I’m too consumed every Summer lol. Would love to know everyone’s thoughts on different players since theres many ways to play the game well :)

I found Vince and Morgan to be more compelling during the season, but drew and melody have had me entertained post season so its hard to decide

I have never watched the older big brother seasons so I wanted to give my opinion. I'm at final 3 so I feel I can share now. I didnt have access to the live feeds (could've found it but too much work and lazy) lol so ill be a casual. I knew watching was gonna be different bc its not live but I LOVE BUNKY. I also LOVED Krista. Nicole would have been the winner

As a reality tv enthusiast I can’t believe I put off BB for so long, it’s pretty much all I’ve watched the past three months 💀

I’m on ep23 of bb8 and it’s already changed my ranking. Note that there’s a very thin line and I love all of these, but my current ranking is:

1. 10
   
2. 6
   
3. 14
   
4. 2
   
5. 7
   
6. 8
   
7. 12
   
8. 11

Note that I love all these seasons and haven’t been bored yet. Are there any other seasons with similar dynamics or betrayal or fighting?

Due to the recent season of Big Brother I thought it could be kind of fun to talk about what happened to all the first HoH’s

I stand firm in that the first HoH is the single biggest advantage one could get.

I’ll mark if they made Jury and their pole position, unless they won the game

BB2 - Mike Boogie - Did not make Jury, 8th (first HoH ever, kind of hard to grade

BB3 - Lisa Donahue - Won the game, No Golden Power of Veto

BB4 - Nathan Marlow - Made Jury - 8th

BB5 - Jase Wirey - Did not make Jury - 10th

BB6 - Rachel Plencner - Did make Jury - 8th

BB7 - Jase and Janelle - Jase, Did not make jury - 12th, Janelle, Did make Jury - 3rd

BB8 - Kail Harbick - Did not make Jury - 10th, also America’s Player throws a wrench into everything

BB9 - Not even worth talking about

BB10 - Jerry MacDonald - Did make Jury, 3rd

BB11 - Jessie Godderz - Did make Jury, 9th

BB12 - Hayden Moss - Won the game

BB13 - Rachel Reilly - Won the game

BB14 - Willie Hantz - Did not make Jury, 14th

BB15 - McCrae Olson - Did make Jury, 4th

BB16 - Frankie Grande - Did make Jury, 5th

BB17 - James Huling - Did make Jury, 7th

BB18 - Nicole Franzel - Won the game

BB19 - Cody Nickson - Did make Jury, 11th

BB20 - Tyler Crispen - Final Two - 2nd

BB21 - Christie Murphy - Did make Jury - 6th

BB22 - Cody Califiore - Won the game

BB23 - Frenchie - Did not make Jury, 15th

BB24 - Daniel Durston - Did not make Jury, 12th

BB25 - Reilly Smedley - Did not make Jury, 15th

BB26 - Angela Murray - Did make Jury, 6th

BB27 - Vinny Panaro - Final Two - 2nd

BB28 - Dee Valladeres - Did make Jury, 4th

Now it’s not a guarantee but by winning the first HoH can really help you make it deep into the game

Now it’s really unfair that only 3 people were able to compete for the first HoH and those 3 people are very good at these kinds of games, so it’s less likely for them to mess it up

I thought this could be a nice post where we have all the winners in one place

I really enjoy this topic!

There's many! Lol, but for me-

BB12, Rachel vs. Ragan: the tension between Rachel and Ragan was building up, and when they were fighting, i was just like... this is probably one of those moments that was going down in Big Brother history in real time.

BB14 – Dan’s Funeral: Getting to watch Dan’s Funeral happen live on the feeds was absolutely insane. They really had Dan's number... I genuinely don't think you could appreciate just how masterful it was unless you experienced it as it happened. I remember being SO pissed when it turned on Britney though.

These really stick out for me, so, do y'all have any favorite moments you got to see first hand?

I know a lot of fans on here are talking about Big Brother 30, since we know that it will be an All-Stars season. But as a fan, what is something about it you want to see, don’t want to see. What would make you most excited to watch it? What would make it annoyed but watch it anyway? I’d like to hear all the fans thoughts. The good, the bad and the ugly lol.

Here is mine. My biggest thing is that I only want to see ONE time players. I don’t really care if they have won before but if they have already played twice or more, let’s take them out of the pool. I know this will never happen, but spread the seasons out. What I mean by that is don’t take more than 1 and 2 from a season, I’d even be happy with picking 1 player per season. Pre-gaming is going to happen anyway but I feel there is a CHANCE this could control it to a degree.

This one fans will disagree with, but no twists at all and eliminate Blockbuster. Let’s go back to a standard Big Brother season. Let the players win or lose by themselves. I am one of those fans that wants to see the best player win, I am not all about the ones who win because of twists or didn’t have to do much.

Have a perfect mixture of old school and new school. I’ve heard people talk about that it may only be players from 20 and on, but in case it’s not, make sure you even it out.

Those are just some things I’d like to see.

Her bio says “realtor” but uses no trademark symbol. The term is federally trademarked and I’ve known real estate agents who improperly use the term to get in LOTS of trouble. I understand small agents getting under the radar, but I’m surprised a big influencer like her hasn’t gotten fined or anything? A good agent should know about this?

Idk maybe I misunderstand. I did used to work for a real estate company though and this was something everyone talked about.

Just like the title says, this cast has had some of the best likable and unlikable characters and very little duds across the board. The only duds I can think of are Chuk maybe? This cast brought characters who made it fun to root against, Haley Kamu, the icons at some times. As well as some super rootable underdogs Yash, Mallory, Jason, Drew at the end. This season had its cons but overall a very consistent ride of action and chaos, I think a lot of this is because of how great this cast was and how badly they wanted the win. I also think it’s very likely that Drew And Yash are locks for s30.

not limited to pictured Houseguests. Theres been 3 more mixed seasons since I last posed this question so I’d like to ask again.

Ik it’s borderline if survivor players count as newbies so if you want to give a seperate answer excluding them, thats cool too.

Big Brother 19 Episode 34 she tells Josh that he has to " Run back and push your button"

I made this video a while back but forgot to post it here so here!

ALL Arisa Cox Big Brother Eviction FakeOuts

Ended up doing another video for the Canadian series

Hear me out for a second

BB30 Heroes vs Villains and run the Prejury like Bb16 and 17 with 2 HOH’s and Battle of the Block its kinda survivor style a bit

Heroes Nom 3 villains
Villains Nom 3 Heroes

Winner of BOB dethrones the HOH who nomed them and granted their entire Faction safety for the week

Then we move to POV

And then we have the BB Blockbuster to bring us down to 2 noms and my Idea for BB Blockbuster is the winner also gets a Power that must be used by the end of Pre Jury phase

And then Live Vote and Eviction

Once we get to Jury Back to Basics Big Brother

1 HOH
2 Noms
POV
Eviction

And then bring back the Triple Eviction some point in Jury phase but do it BB Canada style and have 3 noms and instead of voting the person you want to evict you vote the person you want to keep

I know many people are going to hate this lol but let me know what you guys think

​

She would say, "(Name), by a score of 5 to 3... you are... SAFE!"

She hasn't done this in a while. Do you think it may be due to her God-bothering personality that has emerged over the last several years?

Like she thinks that's "too mean" or something?

I used to look forward to the shocked looks. 😄

Hey, [r/bigbrother](r/bigbrother)!

Barrett’s Instagram

As a human who passes gas, I have to wonder what the unspoken farting rules are inside the house. Are the houseguests just ripping all day? Does the house smell terrible? Do they only fart outside or in the bathroom? If I was in the house with 16 others I would be really self conscious about letting one out in front of others but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Does anyone know???

I'm rewatching the season (especially the early weeks), and now that the season is over, I'm shocked at how great the editing was. I feel like even the first weeks hit upon major plot points of the season (the Crossovers' uneasy alliance, the Melodrew saga, Barrett/Drew being the rats, the Red Corner).

There was way less simple narration of challenges and announcements of alliances and strategy, and way more character-driven storytelling. As a result, we got a good feel for the personalities of all the HG's. There was also less reduction of every houseguest to a stereotype. I felt like we really saw the best and worst of everyone, the way we did in old-school BB.

A good example is Kamu. We saw how strategic he could be with throwing Red Corner under the bus when Lala became HoH. But we also saw the Tea Party and how cruel he could be ... No one got a golden edit in that the person on the feeds was completely different than the edit. No one was villainized on the edit either. Everyone was pretty much what you saw on the feeds.

I also think that this cast gave way above-average DR's. Even the "duds" like Chuk gave amusing DR's. Taylor was fairly low-key especially early on in the game, but her DR's were hilarious. Her DR about Chuk's brand of "campaigning" made me laugh myself silly. The HG's really talked about their experiences in the DR's, instead of the force-fed one-liners.

Did they just get different editors this season?
