If Jase and Janelle disagreed on the nominations it would've resulted in their HOH being overthrown and them being the nominees. In reality Janelle would've been evicted but with 12 people voting was it stated what the protocol would've been to determine who gets evicted if it was a tie?

Let's say that there was absolutely zero pregaming on All Stars.

There was not a single text, conversation or any form of communication between any of the BB22 houseguests in the weeks or months prior to the game commencing.

If that was the case, who do you think would win that season and why?

Also, who do you think would organically form alliances?

A recurring thought I've had while watching Big Brother is, what if the prize money structure was changed, so that everyone got a different amount of money depending on their placement?

Oftentimes, the "best" or "most talented" player is evicted in 3rd place, and leaves with nothing. Or in other instances, you have a stagnant late jury period, like in BB26, where some players don't make game moves or seem to care about their eviction order.

I was wondering, if the prize structure was more generous, perhaps we could see a more interesting/older assortment of houseguests. I've heard it mentioned from a lot of BB alumni that they would never return due to the length of the time commitment vs the lack of payout. So, here is what I came up with as an example:

1st place - $1,000,000
2nd place - $100,000
3rd place - $75,000
4th place - $50,000
5th place - $25,000
6th place - $20,000
7th place - $15,000
8th place - $10,000
9th place - $7,500
10th place - $5,000
11th place - $2,500
12th place - $1,000
13th place - $500
14th place - $250
15th place - $100
16th place $1

Let me know what you guys think! Would this make the game more interesting, or make winning less lucrative?

Was going through the archives of BB6 and I have to say, the day Kaysar was nominated by Jennifer, that whole day looks like a rollercoaster and I wish I could’ve watched it live.

Some highlights include:

Jen getting annoyed because BB played “Stupid Girls” by Pink in the morning and thought it was a dig at her

Kaysar nomination fallout

April backtracking that she didn’t want to vote Ivette out the last week

April trying to turn Janelle against Rachel by saying Rachel was jealous of Janelle and Howie’s relationship

Howie destroying April who then cries

Houseguests get alcohol (including margaritas which I wish they’d do more of!)

Janelle drunkenly ranting about the Friendship

Janelle telling Maggie and Beau to go f*** themselves

Janelle spatting with April (The fact is I don’t have to suck pee-pee to get ahead in life, thank you!

You certainly suck your husbands you gold digging b***!)

April spelling out the words s-l-u-t and w-h-o-r-e because she can’t say the words or she’ll be fired

Janelle roasting Jennifer and Beau

Janelle and Beau final confrontation (Janelle accused of screwing men for ferraris lol)

What a time to have been alive. Just pure reality tv gold. It helps that it happened so long a go that the chaos and drama can be more appreciated as a time capsule. I would gladly hug and compliment all of the cast involved for the entertainment they brought to the show.

Cody Nickson was a very popular houseguest on Big Brother.

Marine background. He was solemn. Serious. Never changed himself to fit in with others. He was unapologetically himself and believed in what he believed in, regardless of what others thought about it.

Casual fans loved him. Superfans loved him. Many on Reddit loved him.

How likely do you think it is that we'll see someone similar to Cody Nickson on Big Brother again? Also, do you want to see another Cody type person on the show?

Tucker Des Laurier (BB26) Vs Howie Gordon (BB6)

Which character is more compelling?

Which character is funnier, both unintentionally and actively?

Which character is more likely to win AFP based on the TV edit against eachother, and over multiple seasons?

Which character has the more iconic moments and which moments?

N/B: Since Tucker is one time player and thus characters only reference BB6 Howie and not his All Stars run in order to keep things balanced.

BONUS ROUND: Who is the better player

Just curious, what do you think would happen if chenbot played the game? How long would she last? Do you think she’d win?

This is self explanatory, but I'm wondering who you all think is the nicest houseguest in the history of the show.

One that comes to mind for me is Jason from BB3. His eviction is so heartbreaking because he takes it so damn well, and he was so respectful to Marcellas as well when plunging the knife into him after he chose not to use the veto.

i heard that houseguests can get haircuts on Thursdays, but i'm curious about shaving for facial hair

you can do that whenever you want, right? you don't have to wait a week to shave, right? lol

Hey everyone! Planning on getting into BB. Should I start with 26 and work my way backwards? Starting from season 1 seems crazy but maybe somewhere in between? Maybe start at 20? Thanks!

I was just thinking about the fact that Angela won more comps than cam and Matt combined, which doesn’t sound crazy now but no one expected that pre season, and was interested to see if there were any other interesting stats in bb history

I am watching Big Brother 2. I have one episode left. I gave this show a shot as I like Survivor, Amazing Race, and The Challenge. So far it is interesting. I was told to start with 2 as 1 was a totally different show. There's a good cast for season 2. Some of the challenges are interesting. I liked some of the food challenges and luxury challenges and America's choice is interesting.

But I feel like in some ways there's a lot of episodes and just a lot of downtime so to speak. Survivor was able to manage reward challenge, immunity challenge, and tribal councils in a single episode. It feels like what happened in one episode on Survivor takes 3 episodes on Big Brother. I don't mind some downtime. One of my criticisms of Survivor was less camp life being shown. But this just feels like a lot of house life being shown.

Also, many of the challenges felt small. I imagine with the live aspect for head of household challenges that there would be limits. Some of the food and luxury challenges were good but many felt small. I'm wondering if the challenges get more elaborate. I know other shows got more elaborate after the first few seasons.

It's an interesting show but its a huge time commitment and I'm wondering if I should put effort to watching other seasons. I can say for certain if the cast wasn't interesting, I would have abandoned it easily midway through this season.

Thanks all..

My fiancé is having me watch MOST of all of Big Brother from the beginning. Currently on season 13. I’ve been taking her direction and advice on what I’ve skipped. However, I wanted to get your feedback back on the seasons skipped and if I should dedicate time to go back and watch any of them and why.

Seasons skipped;

BB1 BB4 BB5 BB9

Thanks!

If BB said there was another coaching season, and it was known they would come back into the game at some point OR even if they didn't come into the game, which 4 players would you like to see return as coaches?

Anyone else think of Paul when someone says “Your boy was excited” or something like that? I always think “You’re not my boy. That’s Paul. Paul is my boy.”

Hello everyone!

I was rewatching the BB26 preseason interviews on youtube posted by Mike Bloom, and one of the questions that I thought was really fun was "What is on your Big Brother Bucket List".

Now I want to ask you all the same question. If you had the chance to be a houseguest on Big Brother and explore the BB house, what would be on your bucket list? Would you want to experience slop, see the have not room, win a HOH and a veto comp over the summer, or something else entirely?

My BB bucket list would be the following:

1. Have a silly costume punishment coincide with a dramatic TV moment/blowup (Frank wearing the carrot costume during Dan's Funeral in BB14)

2. Get to wear a silly costume in general

3. Get to meet Julie and hear her throughout the season

4. Hopefully witness some sort of blow up (without any racism and it just being pure arguing a la Keesha's Birthday)

Izzy and Felicia are on the block. The initial target was Felicia until America and Cory caused the house to flip the vote onto Izzy. This flip included the fight between Jared and Cory which involved multiple houseguests. I am going to analyse why I think flipping on Izzy was the wrong strategic move by Cory and America:

1. Izzy was always a bigger target than Felicia and could work with Americory considerably more in the game.

• Cory and Felicia had little to no to strategic relationship in the game whereas Cory and Izzy were close and strategic partners for a while. By flipping on Izzy they removed a target for Cameron, Jag, and arguably Matt for future rounds of Gameplay. They also lost anyone to vouch for them with Cirie and Jared, even though they survived Jared's HOH the week after it was close. Felicia was always going to be targeted later than them and was never going to truly work with America and Cory in the game

2. Evicting Felicia would leave Meme vulnerable in the game and thus make Americory more appealing allies than ever.

• By keeping Felicia in the game Americory gained little to no advantage in the game cause Meme and Felicia still had eachother and they could persuade eachother into all types of reasons of why they can't truly work with Americory.

Yes I know Meme would still probably go with Blue but by leaving Felicia in the game it left no vacuum for Americory to attempt to fill

3. Izzy would never aid Matt and Jag by helping convince Bowie that Americory are untrustworthy.

-Felicia was playing in survival mode by the f9. She wasn't able to carry out strategic efforts such as Cory's attempt to get Bowie away from Matt and Jag. I'm this hypothetical that Izzy says even if we accept that she doesn't win a comp, she is likely than Felicia to thwart Cory's effort to take the game from Matt and Jag back into the hands of America, Cirie, and Izzy in this scenario.

4. Conclusion

-Conclusively I get why Americory made the decision to flip on Izzy she wanted to eventually target America. However I believe that Cory could have convinced her that they were bigger issues to fry. I thus think that the Izzy flip was a short sighted strategic play that at the time felt right and euphoric however I believe it is the beginning of Cory and America effectively handing over the game to anyone but them.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts, do you agree with me or am I spewing nonsense?

BB audition video questions (no frill version) Hopefully the moderators finds this moderate now..

What was your experience? My friend and I want to try out so badly! We would send in individual auditions and would have so much fun making them.

But, I was wondering if anyone has submitted one and if they had any tips?

I watched the instruction video and they say to make it personal.

So, like funny personal? Best features personal? My life's tragedies personal?

I was curious if anyone had sent in a video and how long it was?

Or if anyone has any ideas or tips (We're not going to do the video together) I mean, right? Unless it was a partner season and I assume there would be no way to know that?! I also assume we both wouldn't get picked and honestly we just would love to make our try out videos (so don't worry we're not trying to trick anyone and play the same together................ or are we?)Jk............... maybe.

I watched BB16-BB26 so far and I decided I might should watch the first season ever so should I watch it

If you had to choose just one season to watch after season 20, which would you pick? Please no spoilers ♥️

Was it rigged? Or at least somewhat tweaked?

It’s a serious question and I ask this because of not only will and boogie making F4 but just the all around feel of the season.

Starting with week 1: when Alison comes up with the brilliant plan for Jase to disagree with every nomination to put himself and Janelle on the block and then vote her off (who picks the replacement if the veto is used or is there no veto?) it seemed like anyone with a brain would have adopted that strategy even if it meant going to the block.

Jase didn’t though (paid him off?) and then immediately after that “twist” is disbanded 🤔 I wonder why.

It seemed like they were trying to protect Janelle and Will (both whom I love) but it just seems sketchy that no one during that game wanted to vote them off.

Does anyone know through live feeds what any particular player(s) called other players for fun or their own amusement, or even what an alliance called someone for fun? I recall Jenn from BB14 referring to Brit as Detective Snowflake, as an example.

Feel free to list your examples.

Steve Moses (BB17) Vs Drew Daniel (BB5)

Which game is more impressive strategically, socially, and in regards to ingenuity/creativity?

Do you find any similarities between these two players or their winning games?

Who do you consider to be overall the better player (who do you bet on, on other seasons)?

What is yall favorite introduction line? I'm talking, "I'm ___, and ______ from the little videos. Personally, I have always loved, "I'm Jun, and you're gonna love me as much as Ido!"

Another favorite iss,"IM RENNY, AND YOU CAN'T STAWT THE PAWTY without me!"

I finally finished my watch of BB1 and let me tell you some of my thoughs.

It was definitly a journey, this season, though free of the Big Brother recipe we're all used to still had some interesting parts.

1.It was like a time capsule to see what life was a bit like back in 2000, the verbiage, the actions, humour, style and aura of the houseguest.

2. The house was only populated with ten houseguest, which included an employee of the UN, exotic dancers, and a member of the black panthers. Another thing of note was the discussions between the hg, one was a 25 year old self described virgin who basically initiated the first flirtmance of big brother. Virginity was a running topic most of the season.

3. They had a surprise hg, a small garden, and a chicken coop (cue the creation of Chicken George).

4. The games integrity was different in season one. They had multiple times the hg talked to their families, former hg were allowed to speak to the current, planes and things came from overhead into/over the backyard giving the hg outside gossip about the house.

5. Nominations; there was nothing hoh and no pov, and thusly no real power in the house, every week the hg would nominate two people and those two people would go on the block and America would call and vote to who they wanted banished (evicted). This brought us to a few funny outcomes with a bit more than two people nominated which was a fun week.

6. The old house. The house is waaay different than now. No outdoor second floor, no in door second floor, the diary room is the "red room" and not down a hallway. Just through two doors. The front of the house (where evicted hg go) was completely different.

That's what I can recall at the moment, but lastly my fav houseguest were in no order; Curtis, Britney, Cassandra, and Josh, and kinda George. (He's more likable in season 7 imo) I don't recommend watching the first season unless you really want to, I would just be on my laptop while watching it in the background, they do a lot of recap episodes, maybe 1.5 a week? But otherwise I am glad I decided to watch it, gave me greater appreciation for the current format of Big Brother we all love today.

I’m assuming it was pretty difficult to get people to agree to be on that season. It was probably easier to just get returning players cause they know the game and the producers/casting already had relationships with them. I wonder if an all stars season was their original plan or if Covid interrupted it. Posting cause I’ve always wondered this and wanted to see what other people thought.

I started working on this when TikTok was about to be banned. now apparently it's not getting banned after all but I still wanted to finish the list anyway cause I was curious haha.

anyway I looked up every houseguest ever and here's the top 20 most followed on TikTok! (BBUS only, not counting the Celeb seasons)

1. Nick Uhas - 7 million

2. Frankie Grande - 1.5 million

3. Corey Brooks - 792k

4. Cam Sullivan-Brown - 761k

5. Red Utley - 711k

6. Kyle Capener - 683k

7. Brett Robinson - 674k

8. Britni D'Angelo - 618k

9. Tommy Bracco - 534k

10. Jackson Michie - 462k

11. Holly Allen - 454k

12. Kat Dunn - 426k

13. Winston Hines - 413k

14. Caleb Reynolds - 369k

15. Paulie Calafiore - 337k

16. Rachel Swindler - 289k

17. Alyssa Snider - 224k

18. Blue Kim - 194k

19. Bayleigh Dayton - 186k

20. JC Mounduix - 177k

I don't think I missed anyone but sorry if I did!

Is it just me or do you think that Diane destroyed her game by keeping Cowboy? Yes, Karen was a much stronger gameplayer, but I think Diane stood a better chance against Nakomis/Karen in the F3 than Cowboy/Drew...

Wanted to start watching big brother. What seasons are great ones to watch if I’ve never seen any before?
