The Top 50 Big Brother One Time Players

This is my personal opinion on who are the top 50 one time big brother players. This was trickier to do compared to multi-time players due to these players playing once, hence a smaller sample size. But I decided to commit to this regardless.

it happened

I’m watching big brother 10 for the first time this year! I’ve seen almost every season from 12-27 and finally have had time to go back to the older seasons on my watchlist. As a fan, I knew that Keesha’s birthday was such a memorable moment. I just didn’t have any context. WOW. Jessie stirring the pot! Libra and Keesha dealing with their separate grievances while April juggled both arguments. Jerry trying to direct some of the ladies anger towards Memphis. Memphis getting offended by this, seconds after he was goofing off, and going to confront Jerry. Renny desperately trying to make peace and celebrate Keesha. Michelle getting pissed off because everybody is fighting for no reason. Dan LAYING on the couch completely uninvolved. A funeral dirge of Happy Birthday. Silence. ANYBODY WANT CAKE? More screaming! As a Kindergarten teacher, this really felt like a day at work. Seeing it play out was such a treat. Looking forward to finishing this season!

Which former houseguest would you love to play alongside?

It doesn’t necessarily have to be someone you like, but someone you’d love to either align yourself with or compete against. Maaaybe controversial, but I’d actually love to play alongside Dick, for the simple fact he’s an excellent strategist. Aligning myself with someone with his mindset would be interesting. As for competing against a past houseguest, I think it would be fun to compete against someone like Eric Stein. He was smooth-talking and a good strategist, but I feel he was also very beatable, which is a rare combination.

What do you think really changed the trajectory of BB27?

It’s no secret that the biggest and crazy thing to happen was obviously Rachel‘s elimination, however I would argue that Rylie‘s eviction and that entire week is truly what changed the trajectory of the entire game because all of the pieces had to align and fall into place and they did.

How bad was Cowboy’s move at the final 4 of BB5?

I feel like this move is one of the more debatable bad moves in BB history. Like it isn’t one of those moves where it was like “you make this move you win, if you make the other move you lose.” But it wasn’t smart. He would’ve been guaranteed final 2 if he evicted Diane over Nakomis. I think part of the reason people forget about this move is because he still ultimately made it to the final 2. I also don’t think he had any real win equity up to that point so it wasn’t like a case of a really good player making an error that cost them the win. I will say, evicting your own half sister to go to the final 3 with a showmance is… a choice Let me know your thoughts?

Is Julie a good host?

Just a general question, do you think Julie is a good host? I'm a very new watcher to this reality TV show and I like how Julie kind of accepts being in the background compared to the actual cast that is in each season. I've seen some shows where the host tries so desperately to make themselves a prominent person in the show and I like how laid back Julie is. She's just there to do her job and she has done that for 27 seasons now. She adds just enough personality to not be a brick wall but she also pretty much never steals the spotlight from what I have seen at least. IDK maybe I'm off base here but I appreciate that. Was wondering how others felt about it.

Compiling Big Brother Video Essays

Hi y'all I am so excited for BB28 and have been watching as many Big Brother video essays as I can to fill the void! I am trying to make a comprehensive list of long-form videos that aren't based on ranking things (ex. ranking winners/seasons/twists etc.) or compiling things (ex. '50 Big Brother conspiracy theories'). I've put below all of the videos that I have watched, and please feel free to comment any others so I can add it to the list! ^ Also don't comment direct links to videos since it will break Rule 5! The Greatest Move in Big Brother History (ft. Peridiam) by boolmaster Goes a bit in-depth about Dan's Funeral (S14), with a good introduction to Big Brother as a whole in the beginning, making it a pretty good video for prospective fans My Favorite Show Hates Me by Shoes in the Dryer A really good and in-depth critique of Big Brother as a whole, arguably my favorite Big Brother video essay Big Brother Winner Videos Playlist by Ethanimale A staple in the niche that needed to be included, as Ethanimale's winner video essays are well-researched, dive deep and all hold their own as individual videos How Reality TV Houses Are Built to Break People by Stewart Hicks This video admittedly does not really follow my criteria, but I felt I wanted to include it on the list since it briefly looks at the Big Brother house (2:30-7:00) architecturally which I hadn't considered or heard about before; also talks about Love is Blind and The Circle architecture Big Brother: The DARK REALITY of America's Favorite Show by Deep Dive Focuses on some of the biggest controversies that Big Brother has faced over the years with a relatively cohesive narrative THE JUDD CONNECTION: Defining the Big Brother Redneck Archetype by Barfbag Analyzes the use of the redneck archetype throughout Big Brother, with an emphasis on Judd (S15) and his story during his season and those that follow; Barfbag overall has great videos! ^ suggested by u/skypadz_2112 The Big Brother Competition Problem by The House Has Spoken A data-driven analysis examining competition types (ex. physical, mental, hybrid, etc.) and how different eras' competition types affect gender winning %, with a very thorough methodology ^ suggested by u/RoosterLovingGuy The Definitive History of Dolphincrash from Big Brother 8 by Barfbag A character analysis of Zach (S8) with a focus on his relevance on his season and his clothing brand Dolphincrash; "It makes a beffudling player like Zach somehow more beffudling" ^ suggested by u/AssociateAvailable16 and u/twayroforme

Big Brother 8 live feed videos, etc

Rewatching this season now and it was before I got into the live feeds (I was only about 15 when the season aired, so I wasn’t allowed to watch those lol). But some of the trashier stuff has me curious, specifically the Dustin/Joe drama. Don’t get me wrong — they’re both very irritating, but I’m curious if there are any dramatic things between them that we didn’t see on the TV version? Any juicy fights? We got enough of their story to have a segment about the guy who got between them but little else.

Who are some good examples of collateral damage?

BB history is layered with evicted HGs who were initially nominated as pawns but were either evicted because the house flipped against the HOH or were caught in the crossfire as the house split itself into two factions. Any good examples of such instances? I think last season Adrian and Will were good examples of being collateral damage

What would you think of this HN/Slop rule?

For the first week, Have Nots are determined via comp. Second week and beyond, Have Nots are determined via a new rule: While voting, if you speak without being prompted to, you are a Have Not for the week. Yes, even if you become HoH. This means if you make shout outs to people, you are on slop. The HGs will NOT be told this until a few weeks have passed. Once we have one week of no shout outs when casting votes, then HNs can be determined another way. But if the shout outs start again? Whoever does it gets to pay for it with one week of slop. To further discourage shout outs, the HN room will never close and will be the single most uncomfortable one EVER.

Hide the vote count then reveal it at some point later in the week

I think by doing this you would allow people some time to talk amongst themselves and then later the vote count is revealed or perhaps you can make it so there is some way to find out the vote count, or the vote count is only told to the nominee that survived the block, meaning they can tell anybody else they feel like. I feel like people don't throw rogue votes as often because immediately after the eviction someone immediately finds out or thinks they think they know who the vote is, seeing as how there have been a lot of evictions where people immediately think they know who the vote is or immediately have a reaction. Dan in BB10 is a really good player but he wasn't able to save Brian most likely because Brian's friends didn't wanna commit to saving him. He was able to save himself since he's a really good player. I think giving players time to process the eviction before revealing the vote count and then having the vote count perhaps have to be found out via some method (being told by another person, etc.) since information is important in this game. While I do like blowups immediately after evictions, I think it's more fun during the week since either viewers can catch the drama on the feeds or on the episodes since there's barely any time in the live show anymore to show drama. I think hiding the vote count is a good idea but if it the vote count is NEVER revealed then it's missed potential for drama. Obviously if there's a tie then none of this really matters but at least a tie is usually exciting. I'm not sure when you would reveal it but if you guys have any good ideas I'd love to hear them! The drama with Eric and Kail never would have never happened if they didn't know someone cast a second rogue vote (ok maybe the flying banner gives it away lol)
