5 Twists Big Brother Should Never Bring Back

[@asiafantasia9238]

The Leftovers used the festie besties twist in such a smart way, the other side of the house thought they had the advantage.

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

The other side, which is way too cocky and thought they had the game on lockdown! Honestly, I don’t think the game becomes fully submitted and how it’s gonna play out until like week six because I feel like once that happens everybody’s left is jury so that is when I feel true alliances where we start to solidify! I feel like in the first five alliances can still shift!

[@JRJuggernaut1]

Right? Not for nothing though, that season was so much better that BOTB actually didn’t ruin the prejury phase. Sure, Vanessa and Shelly running the evictions for 4 straight weeks wasn’t ideal, but there was a lot of chaos in the house and we went from Vanessa saving Jason with the POV week 4 to Vanessa backdooring Jason Week 5, absolutely nuts but in the best ways!

[@aaronsmith4806]

I wouldn’t have minded that twist so much if you couldn’t throw the comps. There’s no way to show it but once everyone started throwing it got annoying. I really thought the rewind thing was the worst as Frankie went from all powerful to leaving.. I hate when they do a twist that screws over HOH that dramatically. It seriously feels like it’s not fair. Frankie might have won the game

[@TimForTheWin12]

That’s still bad. Dethroned HoH has to nominate two people (maybe three if the veto is used) just for them to come straight off the block.

[@tropicalbutter126]

My idea on how to fix it is that It can only be applied to the veto if the player themselves had won the veto.

[@NoLeftTurns965]

Deepfake HOH in BB26 is an improved version of coup. User makes all the decisions throughout the week as normal, HOH is still safe but has no power, and HOH gets to compete the next week.

[@cowchhardcore8758]

The Battle of the Block feels like its on the verge being perfect with some changes made to it - first, instead of each HOHs nominees being a duo and its two duos competing for safety, have it be a free-for-all where only the best two earn safety for the week while the other two stay on the block (to eliminate the "one person throws to keep their "partner" on the block" strat) - second, both HOHs are save no matter what, even if both of their nomiees earn their safety the HOH who put them on the block is still save for the week (same as the first but to prevent a duo from throwing to make the other HOH vulnerable, if you win HOH youre supposed to be save for the week) - third, if the Veto gets used to take someone of the block, the HOH who orignially nominated them decides the replacement - lastly, since both HOHs kept their status, both of them sit out the next HOH comp no matter whos nominee got evicted This may not be a "perfect" version of the twist since someone would most likely find a way to game it in some way but I feel like this at the very least an improvement because it removes the two dumbest parts of the twist, duos and losing safety as HOH

Although BB has done some horrible twists I do give them credit for taking notes of when twists spectacularly backfired, like in modern BB they would never hand out a free Coup D'Etat.

[@aaronsmith4806]

Yeah if they ever gave out that type of power today it would probably be because you said a robot could enter the game and then won a challenge. Then they’d give it to a guy with a Q name because the power sounds very Q like

Pendant of Protection would be #6 to me. If Cody had nominated Paul and him be evicted week 1... season 19 would be SOOO MUCH BETTER. Potentially even a top tier season

[@handsoaphandsoap]

The coup d’etat could be interesting if nerfed so that the HoH still holds control of who is on the block. That way it’s still a solid power while not being completely broken. I also think it should always remove both noms instead of the holder getting to choose, that way there’s a risk vs reward aspect to it where the holder has to make sure that the person that leaves isn’t one of their closest ally and instead someone they can let go.

[@projectboy5409]

I'm curious was the deepfake hoh basically the same thing?

[@handsoaphandsoap]

​@@projectboy5409As the coup d’etat? Pretty much except the players knew that the power was in play from the beginning of the game and it activated in the beginning of the week, so I would say it was a bit more balanced, albeit still overpowered.

[@projectboy5409]

@@handsoaphandsoap They may have not known is Quinn had been more quiet

[@DustD.Reaper]

I think the coup d’etat could have been better if, instead of just publically overthrowing the HOH it can instead give the holder and 2 or 3 houseguests of their choice secret safety which only gets revealed once one or more houseguests with that safety sit on the block, then saying who else is save (but not who held the power), that way the HOH can still be taken offguard but still decides who goes up in the end while whoever has the power can keep their closes allies save OR give safety to people to frame them doing their own thing behind everyones back

[@handsoaphandsoap]

​@@projectboy5409 Yeah but the BB26 players knew that *a* power was in play from the very beginning is what I meant, so the players could’ve strategized around it even if they hadn’t known Quinn had it. The coup d’etat basically came out of nowhere so there was nothing the other players could’ve done to play around it. On top of that, the coup d’etat happening basically 10 mins before the eviction makes it impossible to play around since there’s no time for the nominees to campaign so the evicted player is just screwed out of the game. The deep fake HoH came into play at the beginning of the week so it basically played out the same as any other week, just with a new HoH that was supposed to be a secret. Quinn’s nominees had ample time to campaign and could also save themselves by winning Veto or AI Arena. Hence, it’s far more balanced.

I also cut it some slack just because I don't believe America's Player was made to rig the game in Dick + Danielles favor but it devolved into that overtime. I don't think it's a good twist by any means (Especially the Veto shit- they seriously had NO plan if Eric got the veto????? Now that makes me wonder- did they have a plan if Eric got HOH in a double eviction?) and I dislike how Eric is literally forced to throw away his game in favour of Dick + Danielle but overall I do think at the end of the day it's a part of BB8 and it did give some fun moments٫ it's just sad it came at the expense of Erics game. (Also side note I feel like Americas player should've got MVP nerfed the moment it started being used to just downright rig the game but also I don't think production would've done that anyways٫ specially since Dick + Danielle WERE fan favorites)

If neither drop then it’s whoever drops first, etc. then introduce them the next day as a surprise to the house, and that’s it.

[@Ori_Kohav]

Any twist that brings back an evicted houseguest should never be allowed. Especially if it’s after the jury starts. If you want to fit the season to more weeks, just cast more people. Twists announced last minute should also never be allowed, and neither should twists that let viewers give anyone too much power.

[@fredrickfredrickson7360]

battle of the block is the reason i hate the AI arena. tucker is going to win this whole season because of it

I hope not

I love these videos. Can we get more BBCan content

[@KristianYeager]

I liked the BoB only because it allowed Derrick to have an unbreakable Big Brother record! But other than that, it absolutely sucked 😅 Besides for Zombie Week though, Camp Comeback was the worst!! Without it, Nick is out Week 2 or Jack is out Week 3.

[@Ori_Kohav]

The duos twist was the most broken in 13, because of the super obvious rig for Rachel and Jordan. Allison should be ashamed of this season, especially with this twist.

[@carm700]

The showrunners are absolutely to blame. It's almost as if they don't know how the game is played when they come up with these twists. Alternatively, maybe they want the big alliance to game the twist as it makes for an easier edit?

[@kaily9456]

I am still awaiting financial compensation for sitting through and watching scary week in bb25 while it was happening. The double eviction night where Cory evicted Jared was literally set to be the best episode of the show until the two evicted houseguests, who also happened to be the two worst houseguests, never left the damn house. That wasn't a double eviction at all. That was a week of wasted time leading up to a single eviction, and the drama that came from it honestly wasn't even fun at all.

[@SacredDaturaa]

Are there any modifications you could make to Coup de Tat that might be powerful but still allow for some strategy on the opposing part? It actually feels like there's something there. like for example: Coup de Tat holder has to declare their intention to use it after HoH is won. or maybe, going with the theme, you have to have the vote of half the players to coup the HoH, but if you fail to gain that support you're automatically nominated. something like that

PLEASE no power app again!

I love the battle of the block it’s my favorite big brother twist ever… (the first season I ever watched was BB16 so I have a bias)

[@JRJuggernaut1]

The thing about Zombie Week is that it seemed like they were trying to do something in line with Big Brother Canada 9’s fake double eviction. I actually liked the idea because of how much it can shake up the game over such a short period of time, which was what happened in this case. Having it drag out an entire week made so little sense! It also made so little sense to have the battle of the block and coup d’etat twists. I will give BB17 credit that the twist hurt the game a lot less, but I still wish it wasn’t there! But both of these twists disrupt the format of the game in the worst ways and should never be brought back!

[@Banhfire8]

Honestly the best way to bring back the BOB is whatever HOH is dethroned they are now nominated on the block so it's a bigger risk being okay to be dethroned

[@pumbaaj]

Whenever I need to get fired up and angry (for the adrenaline), I watch clips of Isabella bullying Nicole, Kemi, or Ovi.

[@joydamabel596]

Chima had every right to be mad her whole week has HOH meant nothing

[@jenniferferguson1517]

She had a right to be mad; she did not have a right to destroy property and refuse to wear her mic.

I absolutely don’t blame China for having the meltdown that she had after that twist.

[@ThePipofDespair]

Still can't believe they decided it'd be a good idea to eliminate almost an entire week of normal BB gameplay during Zombie Week. It was soooo boring to watch...

[@degrassihoe5693]

Saying this pre-watch and Number One needs to be Zombie Week

[@NoLeftTurns965]

I liked the battle of the block, but it was definitely too overpowered for alliances. By the time it was over in BB17, the Austwins already had majority influence over the house and could do whatever the hell they wanted.

[@tyseal9415]

Without Derrick, BotB becomes a top 10 twist in bb history. Without him the majority alliance likely doesn’t exist and the players don’t figure out how to break the twist.

[@cmott86]

AI arena is a surprisingly great twist

[@ManaMan25]

Plus, the Coup d'etat helped the showmance win BB11. Which no one wants to see.

[@dcrggreensheep]

At least it was Jordan and not Jeff

[@trey-dayb7425]

Camp comeback could’ve worked had they not told the houseguest how many evictions would happen before they did the game to come back bc some people like nick I believe would’ve still risked making the big moves

[@Sanas_Shy_Language]

The Camp Comeback twist's weird racist undertones I can't entirely blame on production since it wasn't productions fault the house voted out only people of colour, but it's still a weirdly segregating twist either way.

[@pablovasquez2201]

Camp comeback segment made me really sad

[@bellablondon6172]

In theory, I definitely like the idea of evicted houseguests not actually leaving the house and still being able to play the social game. Execution wise, both times the show has attempted this have been beyond abysmal

[@guywhoateallthepizza1031]

The idea immediately falls flat in any scenario because why the hell would anyone talk strategy or game with someone not in the house? No sway, can't play, can't vote, won't matter if they don't win the comeback comp, can only hurt your own game if they go telling others.

I wish they’d bring back a have and have nots twist and the split house dyre fest twist
