A Beginner's Guide to Watching Big Brother (+ Survivor Comparisons)

[@Peridiam]

Welcome to BIIIIIIIG BROTHEEEEER! 🏠👁

[@Peridiam]

You get a free week to try it out, so you can do that and see if you like it. They start Thursday night!

[@jordanlit8405]

In the 1st part you forgot about the HAVE NOTS

[@JGCarse]

Omg, I was thinking of making a video like this and you did it! Awesome stuff!

[@gregpugh5354]

Peridiam Do you watch MTV’s the challenge ? If not I would recommend you start it’s similar to BB and they’ve also begun adding some former BB contestants

[@harleypost985]

We need the real tea, Your Top Ten Big Brother Players, In Def Descriptions Of The Different Strategies and What Was So Wrong With Season 19.

[@JMshowproductions]

Chicken George as president would be quite interesting tbh.

[@kelcico]

I live in the same town as Chicken George. :P

[@roseghould]

He might get lost on his way to the White House

[@techniamaster3152]

Peridiam is one of those channels who gets both quality and consistent uploads. Props to you, man!

[@Peridiam]

Thanks, man!

[@techniamaster3152]

Oh my god he replied what... XD btw, do you have a fan discord server? If not, that would be a cool thing to have.

[@toolmgr1]

You never brought up the term backdoor

[@TheTVDewey]

So happy to see you branching into Big Brother. When Hayden played survivor I really got into watching Big Brother. Season 12 was the first season I ever watched and season 16 was the first I watched live from beginning to end but I was hooked. Since then have watched every season except for season 1and will continue to do so. Highly recommend for people that love survivor

[@Captain_Subpar]

My God. Just thinking about watching Dan's funeral play out in real time again gives me goosebumps. So friggin' good.

[@Jonny_Martell]

Peridiam, I took your advice from your last Big Brother video and I decided to watch BB10 and I gotta say that I love it! I'll be watching BB20!

[@Peridiam]

Hopefully BB20 is twice as good as BB10!

[@danflaherty1861]

BB10 was what hooked me too! it's top to bottom my favorite cast of all time. each player is there to play hard and they each bring something to the table, with a very twist-free game.

[@perfectegg]

That freeze frame on Kevin saying “cockplay” was perfect

[@lennonlotardo6145]

😂chicken George at the end

[@stanthemn]

I loved how you went backwards throughout the seasons with the video clips that were in the background. I've watched BB since Season 4 and I agree that the strategy of it is a lot more complex then on Survivor

[@christiancountryboyilovejesus]

Please stop showing footage from BB19 I never want to see that again. Thank you. God bless 😇

[@MrCAXA-tq1yc]

But it has that nice HD!

[@henryf5813]

Are you joking, I found you in the WILD?! INFERNOS SECOND BOOT

[@christiancountryboyilovejesus]

CoolCyan PugGuy yep that's me

[@mrfish6399]

Hi Peridiam! glad to see another video! Edit: Thanks for making this video! I now see what makes Big Brother interesting and I'm kinda curious to check it out.

[@Peridiam]

Do it!!

[@mrfish6399]

Once again I want to thank you for making this and every other Big Brother video you made. I've been having a blast with Big Brother 2 the last few days and I will definetely binge the other seasons too!

[@MinecrafterSnake]

Ive seen every season and am not a big brother beginner, but i watched the whole video to hear your opinions and your voice

[@feralcarcass9902]

HAPPY PREMIER DAY EVERYONE

[@Nizalnation]

This is a must watch for everyone else , and you are the man to do it bro , thanks

[@AnActualSnake]

SO EXCITED FOR TODAYS PREMIER

[@isaacturpin1173]

So ironic that you post this video today, Peridiam. I literally just decided to start with BB20 tonight 😂 EDIT:Plus I had just thought to myself "I wonder if there's a summary of how the game works cause all the terminolgy confuses me"

[@Peridiam]

I'm reading your mind!

[@danflaherty1861]

I will say, give it a few episodes to grab you. because the wackiness and big personalities might take some getting used to

[@kaitlynross5373]

You should watch old seasons I really like season 6 and 7

[@orbiterpluto5460]

The ending was great! Totally a shocker!

[@Squilliam2596]

HAPPY BIG BROTHER DAY... (Great vid as usual btw!!)

[@Peridiam]

Thanks!

[@Joseph-pi9zd]

Its really interesting to see how different with is to the UK version i've been watching for years both took the concept completely different ways

[@ja_cow_ski]

Ramses’s introduction was the only good part of BB19

[@SuperT]

“Cock Play?”

[@olivermensinger6022]

Zingbot

[@Ajnin42]

Im loving this channel and im honestly baffled I havn't seen more like it.

[@brighterwest]

Two great shows people like will Kirby and rob Mariano set the pace for these shows and are why we will always watch

[@eddiemelgar6449]

Dude, you deserve more subs

[@liz-wn7oc]

why am i watching this when i already know what big brother is. i'm a HUGEEEEE super fan💕💕💕💕

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

I've recently gotten interested in Survivor and Big Brother. I've mainly been watching clips and analysis videos of both shows, and I'm enjoying them a lot!

[@KingCanada]

In before the obvious "Why aren't you talking about Survivor?" comment.

[@slybunni4883]

Andre Severson bc he is only talking abt Big Brother

[@ameliarose47]

Thank you for making this, have a friend I’m trying to get into big brother and while I tried to explain the basics, this makes it a lot clearer. Thank you (:

[@chargestone96]

i personally find survivors game more interesting as it relies entirely on the casts dynamics while big brother adds a lot more fluff and the extra reliance on challenges to me makes it less complex

[@toyaliens]

Watching live feeds>>>>>

[@zztanerzz]

great video i love big brother and survivor very excited for bb20 premiere today!

[@ivolloxy3030]

Well now I can start watching this a bit more during Survivor season passing time

[@zivadavid4680]

I’m so glad you made this video because for some stupid reason I’m SO CONFUSED about this show

[@alanw9620]

Really cool video. Was only introduced to Survivor about 3 years ago and i absolutely fell in love with it. Never thought too much of Big Brother. What i love about Survivor is the strategy and the gameplay and the fact that its the players themselves that do the voting wheras hearing that the public has a voice in Big Brother put me off the idea. This video made it sound really cool tho and definetly worth a shot to see what i think of it. Im from Ireland so iv double the content to watch if i do like it plus im actually eligible to audition for Big Brother so thats another reason to get into watching as i might just love it like i did survivor. Theres no Survivor over here for me to audition for as of yet( heres hoping we get our own version in the future) so who knows maybe i will like Big Brother and even apply for it in the future. Now to watch your video of recommended seasons for 1st timers and decide where i should start :)

[@olivermensinger]

As a super fan, you hit the nail on the head, Billy.

[@bobgray6498]

Your editing really is top notch. lol @ the end. If only

[@depechegarbage]

Great video as always! Hope you'll enjoy watching that potential clusterf**k season which is s20 promised to be. Love from Russia!

[@Peridiam]

Thanks! S20 looks crazy already. And good luck against Spain!!

[@depechegarbage]

Peridiam Ohh, how sweet! I didn't know Americans would follow SOCCER. Also, we need a help of Mother Nature and Dan Gheesling combined to win this game bc Russia is TERRIBLE at soccer, trust me.

[@simonecruice-barnett4560]

having never seen a second of this show, I am absolutely floored with confusion

[@kyosotacomics]

Same here. I love the strategy part of Big Brother as well. Same thing as Survivor.

[@itsjoesantos9553]

I would love to see a Top 10 Favorite BB Players and a Top 10 Best BB Players video in your opinion. The main difference being enjoyability versus best gameplay.

[@chaffegirl]

you should do one of these for each season explaining all the nuances of the new twists

[@reginamachamer821]

9:35 I disagree.. I actually think Survivor is more complicated strategy-wise. BB has a bit of a leg up since its 3 months to Survivor's 39, and now 26, days. But I think there is at least just as many, if not more, components to consider on Survivor. BB is more about the social game than anything else imo. And I think BB definitely does a better job at letting us really get to know the players.. but it's not really a fair comparison bc they get 3 episodes a week (so like 30 per season), and Survivor only gets 1 episode a week (which is usually, what? 10-13 episodes?). And we're not even counting the live feeds. Honestly I wish Survivor had more airtime. They had to choose between twists and idols and strategy, or making the time to get to know the cast as people. I don't want to get rid of the former, but I want the latter as well. I wish there was time for both, like there is in BB. However, contrary to my opinions that the Survivor strategy is more complicated.. I do think BB is a harder game to win, or even to just play, simply bc 3 months is a long time. Idk if I could do it. I could do 39 days, I could definitely do 26.. but 3 months is just too much. Especially considering the prize money is half the amount, AND on BB only the winner and runner-up get money. On Survivor they all get SOMETHING at least.

[@rogercalvomedina674]

One of your best videos! Very informative. You should also do a The Genius Guide. I've heard a lot of good things about that show.

[@aaronolafson8003]

I watched this just to support peridiam

[@trentsvacina55]

0:07 because peridium uploaded it😂

[@TSAX]

Survivor vs Big brother is like watching UFC vs WWE 😂👌🔥

[@TimTeemo]

I'm getting my family into Big Brother Allstars 2. Hopefully they wont get bored quickly.

[@macandrew7711]

PLEASE DO A PERSONAL SEASON RANKING!

[@GoodGoga]

My thanks to Dan for acquiescing me into Big Brother and, subsequently, Survivor. LETSGO!

[@ItsKimOlson]

“The next President will be... Chicken George.” 😂😂😂😂😂 NICE TROLL! 😂😂😂😂😂 😵😵😵😵😵😵 They found out the result of the election inside the house?! 😵😵😵😵😵

[@abrandnewpairofsocks]

Woah chicken geroge is the new president, peridiam your joking

[@LouisianaCityboi]

I love Big Brother so much.

[@cowboysfan8845]

I love big brother since season 1 it's my favorite show

[@taylordewey1755]

Thank you so much!!! I am competing in a big brother game and I have no clue what this is. I love survivor though!

[@Joey-ue8kc]

I liked this video. I know all about big brother but this is a good way to get into big brother

[@tvaddict2543]

I wish I found a video like this when I started watching BB last summer 😂

[@angiexx5774]

I’ve never watched big brother but my boyfriend has wanted me to start so He sent me this video and honestly so hyped to get into it😂

[@1UPMushroom]

Guide: Watch any season but BB19 and BB1

[@mr.tkettle1235]

@1-UP Mushroom Exactly, all that needs to be said.

[@1UPMushroom]

@Jordan Bledsoe Honestly... BB21 jury wasn't that bad. I thought the season really got better once Jack was out & the alliance of Jackson, Holly, Cliff & Nicole were running. And I liked Jackson ngl, but nothing based off more than him being a very flawed anti-hero. Full agree on BB22 though

[@evamarlenevlog2990]

growing up I was not allowed to watch BB (the German version) because of the nudity, swearing etc. Few years later I decided to check it out for myself and most hg ( where ppl looking for 5 min fame) and really playing it up the camera (the public votes who should leave) , but then I say saw a promo for BB US16 on YT and recognized Frankie and decided to give the show another shot, as you said it is a great strategy game! I also like to follow ppl who tweet about the lifefeeds (can´t watch them because I life outside the usa) and listen to different podcast (like rob has a podcast, or realityrecap) to get an more rounded view on the season.

[@poliwayxswordedu2903]

cause i love to watch you talk about it, and i spent 1 hour+ on you, i wanna spend more, so i wanna understand

[@JessieRambles]

Im a BB superfan so idk why Im watching this lmao but good video.

[@thehufflepuffhermione]

I feel like you didn't explain that the POV is played with the two nominees, the HOH, and three randomly selected players.

Thanks this will help start watching Big Brother

[@gabriellew77]

Love the end clip 😂

[@lmaobrendan]

I noticed the shade thrown when BB9 wasn't even showed LMFAO

[@TomGreen99]

Thank you, watching this show for the first time because of Tom Green.

[@prashanthb4565]

I'm an Indian and I abso-f**king-lutely love Big Brother. I have watched seasons 23, 20, 21, 18, 7, 8. (No, the numbers weren't placed arbitrarily. I watched it in that order). I am binge watching all the seasons and I'll soon be up to date. I am a massive fan.. I am a superfan. The one regret I truly truly have is that I will never get to compete in the show with me being an Indian. Yes, I know that not all get to compete and that there's a 1 in a 300 million chance. But it's a much better chance than 0% chance.

[@TripleBBBBB]

I Mean Hannah was part Indian so don't give up make it a first to be completely indian

[@emilkurtdiaz6935]

every celebrity big brother houseguest should watch this before entering the house

[@jordyn2289]

Paulie... Wait that doesn’t exist 😂😂😂

[@michaelcavuoto8366]

my favorite part was when he dragged bb19 lmaoooo

[@ACGNikki]

That chess board looks like a cool comp to bring back...

[@MrBalty7]

Lmaoo that edit at the end 😂

[@reginamachamer821]

I love Big Brother, and I love watching Big Brother, but I love Survivor more. I honestly don't know exactly why.. for some reason when I watch BB, I get upset often. Like genuinely upset. I can't help but put myself into these people's shoes. So when the entire house is attacking one person, even if the person was wrong, it feels like *I'm* being attacked by all these people. Once in a while even to the point that I'll start having anxiety and have to pause to take a break. That really doesn't happen when I watch Survivor. Even when there are fights it's rarely a whole tribe against one person, and it doesn't usually become so personal. I mean there have been times.. the way everyone, especially Alicia and Colton, treated Christina in One World. When Tom and Katie completely weaponized guilt on Ian and manipulated him to essentially quit, right at the very end. The way Cochran was treated in South Pacific. Etc. But still it just doesn't compare to BB drama. Maybe I'm just too sensitive. Most people probably enjoy that stuff lol

[@davidbrennan5973]

Please please do a different types of floaters video. The floaters who are actually playing the game (Jun, April, Shelly) and then the coasters who do nothing (Kathy, Victoria, all of S19)

[@suppaduppa7344]

Can you do Amazing Race

[@JaggedEdgeBouldering]

HI thanks for this video!! lol "chicken george" if you havent already, id love a part 2 of this guide where you analyze one situation. or like 2 poeple's diferent strategies thru the game. i. feel like if you already think like a chess player, the game is easy to read, but if youre like me its really hard to be like, "what's tamar's strategy? and why happened between lolo and ricky?" level stuff. you know?

[@fraffa]

I like to think of BB as Surivior's crazy cousin

[@jasonluna1750]

I just tell people it’s like total drama island but real life and even better

[@DrOctagonapusBraaah]

Where'd you get such high quality rips of the older seasons? I've never seen Big Brother 2 look so crisp.

[@user-nm7py8ek7r]

I want to see it now

[@mats460]

I've literally only seen the first 10 seconds, and I can't stop laughing.

[@kevinmontanez6916]

Idk if you think this is a good idea but, I feel like something cool you could put on your channel is bb weekly wrap ups!

[@fireant202]

I had no idea this show was so complicated. I just thought it was like the Real World :P

[@joaomartins1033]

Producers should show this video to recruits that get cast on the show. ;)

[@markjackson6431]

Peridiam.......nurse my children

[@HopeyDopeySkater]

I was wondering who the blue haired girl from BB19 footage was, and then I remembered...

[@ianyanks23]

Just wondering....will you be able to reload your Ghost Island review? Didn't get a chance to watch it before it disappeared.

[@Minstorm34]

Fine, I'll watch it

[@matthewstotz3001]

Big brother isn’t on CBS all access in Canada😭

[@patsrule00]

LOL did you skip bb9 for the ackground clips? I love you, man.

[@Peridiam]

It got about 3 seconds. 😋

[@casey7648]

Came for help to gently make my boyfriend accept we are watching bb22. Thanks

[@SuperT]

Did that one guy who wanted to be evicted come back more powerful?

[@toyaliens]

Nope....

[@TheSillyPotato]

Please make one for Survivor!

[@captaintalon4485]

Peridiam how do you watch the newer seasons and manage to stand it? It seems like casting is going for the caricatures of people and it’s really hard to enjoy it

[@Peridiam]

I rock back and forth and tell myself one day Will Kirby will make a return and all will be right in the world. Honestly: They've always cast archetypes, since BB1. But the people do go beyond their caricature in my opinion. I find BB players more well-rounded by the end.

[@toyaliens]

Have you seen BB17, CBB? Both great, newer seasons.

[@othepenguin8076]

I disagree with 17, but CBB was pretty good imo. 16 was the best.

[@toyaliens]

16? Yikes....

[@captaintalon4485]

Mickey Mouse 17 was the one with returners mixed into the cast right? That’s my big pet peeve I hate casts where they do one part new player and one part old players. The new players never show their own game play and instead follow like pawns.

[@michaelagati8263]

More big brother!!!!!

[@johno.4984]

YES

[@thekinglydragon]

I love how he showed clips from each season in descending order, and when he reached BB9 he just showed the logo than skipped right over it. Honestly tats what CBS should have done, worst season ever

[@dancegregorydance6933]

Ah so it’s the Survivor: One World of BB.

[@timmysomary]

Peridiam, I’ve seen every episode of Survivor and yet not watched 1 episode of Big Brother. I want to give it a try. What season should I watch?!?! I trust your recommendation.

[@olivermensinger6022]

If you haven’t seen it yet: starting with 2 and going in order is good. 3, 6, 10, 17, and 20 are good for beginners.

[@jala1081]

9:27 damn peridiam you prefer big brother strategy!? I've been watching nearly all your survivor videos. I'm a huge survivor fan. Maybe I'd like big brother more? Ive never seen any big brother.

[@Peridiam]

Ja La As a produced show I prefer Survivor, but as an experience I prefer Big Brother. The live feeds are game changing.

[@jala1081]

@@Peridiam how do you have the time and patience to watch the live feeds?

[@Peridiam]

Ja La Sometimes I don’t - depends on the day/week. I always multitask, never just watch them exclusively. I’ll play games, watch other shows, etc. with them on in the background. I also work from home and use my computer a lot, so it fits naturally into my lifestyle.

[@seancouvillion3435]

you explained pov pretty badly. basically the person who holds the pov has the power to take one of the nominees off the block or they don't have to use it at all. if the veto holder takes someone off the block, the hoh has to name a new nominee.
