Why the current house dynamics feel way too predictable this season

I've been watching Big Brother since season 16 and this year the alliances are forming way too fast without enough backstabbing. Like last night when that one houseguest straight up told everyone their target list during the veto meeting? That move reminded me of Paulie's style in BB18 but without the charisma to back it up. The problem is the bigger alliance keeps winning HOH and just evicting floaters instead of turning on each other early. If they don't start cutting deals soon we're headed for a boring final 5 like season 21. What do you all think about the new twist with the secret room? I feel like it could shake things up if they actually use it for more than just hiding snacks. Also the casting this year has way too many super fans who quote past seasons constantly instead of playing their own game. Curious if anyone else is feeling the same way or if I'm just missing some under the radar strategy plays happening.

What are problems that production might actually fix?

Each year, we see hundreds of posts/tweets/comments complaining about the same issues: * Scripted DRs * Too many twists * Inequitable competitions * Battle backs * Too many recruits * Feeds cut too much * Too many days in the season * Over-explaining competitions It is clear after 2 decades under Grodner that production is not interested in fixing these issues. Still, it is not impossible for production to make positive changes to the show, such as the diversity mandate (I am aware it no longer exists). Given this, what is a problem with Big Brother that you can realistically see producers fixing, and how do you think they might fix it? For example, I could see them going back to live Head of Household competitions. I think it would require there to be no more BB Blockbuster.

Most shocking BB moment of all time?

What shocked you the most? Could be during a live show, feeds, or an episode. For me it has to be the BBCAN5 double eviction

How can Big Brother better edit social players?

I got inspiration for this post from a recent post discussing Ashley's game, and unsurprisingly, the discussion was incredibly polarizing. Especially with Big Brother, I feel like its very hard for people to come on an agreement regarding player discussions because nobody is able to watch and analyze the feeds 24/7, so someones opinion will be biased by the few portions we do catch. But since Ashley had basically no screen time in the episodes, the incongruence in perspective from a lack of common ground was worsened as more attentive viewers could only rely on the feeds when discussing her game, and casuals were described a completely different version of Ashley than the edit portrayed. However, had she been edited properly, it would've been easier to pull out evidence of the subtle moves and manipulation she pulled and would've made it easier for everyone to agree on how good of a game she played. Since BB is live, I can sympathize with the difficulty of knowing which players matter more to the overall narratives, but with how egregiously skewed the edit can be, I think there has to be ways to have a more balanced edit without overloading the viewers with information. So how can Big Brother better edit social players?

Reveal of the Brigade

I'm currently rewatching season 12. And every time I watch the reveal bothers me so much. Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but the way Enzo callously reveals the Brigade to Brittany just feels awful to me. It didn't come across as a sensitive move but rather somewhat rubbing it in her face and almost trying to force Lane to be the one to tell her. Am I the only one who saw it this way?

Any other soon to be 21 year olds applying for bb29

I just wanted to make a post on here about this since I myself will be applying for bb29 since I will finally be able to as I will of course be 21. I’ve been watching since I was 10 and I’ve been telling my friends since at least high school that I would be applying and now I finally have to chance to do so. I don’t wanna toot my own horn but I think I have decent odds-idk I just think I have a personality for it. But besides me I wanted to know if anyone else was planning on applying come the next casting season so we could all share the excitement,unless I’m like freakishly early to thinking about it lmao.

I am a relatively new member of the fanbase (active for about 2 years) who got into the series due to being recommended by my friend. Either ways, I decided to go back and binge watch the whole series. They say a spinoff redeemed her a lot, and I just want to know HOW. (idc about spoilers)

Just to be clear, I’m wondering bc I’m currently on 22 and I went from loving her in 16 to feeling mixed on her game but still respecting it in 18 to absolutely despising how much whinier and childish she got in 22. I’m also aware of the nature of Reindeer Games and the upcoming seasons and who goes when due to looking it up online (like I said, idc about spoilers). However, I realized that RG isn’t really available for streaming anywhere, and people have been saying very good things about her performance on there, so I’m come here to see if anyone who was around for the original airing of if can educate me in exactly how she improved. All contribution is greatly appreciated! Also, sorry for the bad graphics on her photo, lol.

BBCAN reboot or continuation?

Since big brother Canada will feature a new host and a different location, I expect a whole new look for the house and perhaps the franchise. Do you think the upcoming season will be called BBCAN13, or do you think they’ll revamp it in some other way, especially since it’s being picked up from a different network. I hope they at least give plenty of nods and appreciation to the past seasons. It would also be sweet if they could bring arisa in for her thoughts in some kind of side show.

Veto

Why can’t a replacement nominee get vetoed when there’s a special power in play? I thought you could veto anyone on the block

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?
