Big Brother Records and If They Can Be Broken

Big Brother is a game with a lot of stats. And with stats, comes records. Some of these records are absolutely absurd, while others have left the door open to be taken. Today, we'll be looking at some of the best Big Brother records, and if they can ever be broken.

And Michael tying Janelle for single season comps, 24 was a crazy ride

[@TransparentEclipse]

I think the funniest part about azah avoiding the block as long as she did is that she didn’t even want to do that, she was literally asking to go on the block in multiple weeks and they refused to put her up there 😂

[@DVal-bl7hm]

If Azah had been gone the block earlier on, she probably could have pulled a Dr. Will and make a "I hate you all" speech and still be safe. lol edit: "on the block" not "gone the block"

[@loynco9299]

[@hworld9832]

Nope.

[@LM11116]

if michael keeps on his current trajectory he could reach the single-season record, and if he then comes back for another season later on, he could rival the total comp wins record too

[@duhfect]

rip he got 9

[@mdevilm2]

i can easily imagine Xavier coming back and winning again. Despite being a player of fair caliber his overall perception STILL isn't as strong as it maybe should be because he was a bit overshadowed by some of the exceptional players on his cast and the overarching storyline of the Cookout on his season. His threat level as a returnee should then be a good bit lower than a lot of other winners relative to his strength.

[@Ethanimale]

I think him and Kaycee have the best shot of becoming that first two time winner

[@chevon1920]

I doubt he wins if he comes back. He didn’t have any kind of strategy. Without kyland, tiff and Hannah he would’ve been taken out well before f6. And any returnee will have a high threat level. He would have to have Paul immunity to have a chance.

[@ScoobyFan0521]

Love these deep analysis videos! Curious if BBCan10's frequent veto use produced any interesting records.

[@Unknownperson933]

“Janelle’s record isn’t going away anytime soon” Jag’s 10 wins go brr….

[@jester1940]

I don't know the actual stats but I believe it would be interesting to see the player who has had the veto/safety used on them the most by another houseguest, as getting that to happen even once either means there's a bigger target or the nom has a good social game. My theory would be that the record is likely held someone in a showmance, but I would have to research.

[@Ethanimale]

Dan has had at least three times (Memphis, Jenn, and Daniele), BB21 Christie and Xavier have had the veto used on them by someone else twice (Tommy both times for Christie, and Hannah and Kyland got X), and there may be more players who have had it used on them twice (or more! This is all off the top of my head)

[@OrAnGeMeErKaTs]

And now Taylor freaking Hale is the person who has won the most money with winning the season and AFP!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Gotta love the underdog story of a lifetime!!

Lesser known fact but the most sucessful/richest Big Brother houseguest is Big Brother 1's Jamie Kern Lima by a ridiculous margin since she sold her cosmetics company to L'Oréal for over a billion.

Lane from BB12 was one of the wealthiest going into the game & his net worth has grown exponentially since then.

[@khntou4178]

@@teleiamc Memphis also has the same sort of career and is also one of the welathiest from the show. Off the top of my head, Will, Janelle, Kaysar, and Derrick are among the most successful. To be fair the old-school players who are able to drop everything to play again tend to be the richest ones since they already have established careers.

[@IAmNobody451]

One of my favorite's are most "America's Favorite Houseguests" Jeff Schroeder being the only one to walk away with that award twice. In BB11 and BB13.

[@DVal-bl7hm]

Since Nicole F soured her reputation in BB22, I remember thinking that Big Brother would likely try to scout out a new rising star to promote for the young women who are fans of the show so that they have someone to look up to and admire. A next generation "Nicole" if you will. I remember thinking during BB23 that Hannah Chaddha was a likely candidate for this since she was really young, and she was a super fan of the show. I don't know if anyone will ever be able to beat Nicole's lifetime spent in the BB house, but I could maybe see someone like Chaddha being brought back and eventually be a contender for her record.

[@LucasC2022]

Going by the edit it doesn’t seem like production liked Hannah at all. I can see them trying to make Derek X a golden boy though.

[@MoNehNeh17]

what did nicole do??

[@DVal-bl7hm]

@@MoNehNeh17 Eh, it's complicated. She just did a lot of minor things that season that made it hard to root for her. Among other things Nicole did, she: - intentionally played a timid and marginal game, knowing that she could rationalize it simply by being a former winner. - would make no effort to defend Ian whenever Memphis would make fun of him behind his back (even though Ian was her friend). - whenever she faced a difficult situation in the game, she would act entitled and rely on others to do the heavy lifting for her. - Her biggest problem: she was in a constant state of denial that season. She would REFUSE to take full responsibility for her actions and wrongdoings and would always blame her shortcomings on literally everyone else. She always played the victim, even though her gameplay lends itself to making her more of a villain.

[@peace255aj3]

If she would acknowledge that she’s actually a villain instead of the hero she keeps painting herself to be, I’ll accept her as my favorite player. Until then fuck her 💀😂

[@hworld9832]

I think they found that in Taylor.

[@BGYMix]

4:12 Michael has just tied Janelle's record of 9 competition wins in a season and can possibly go on to become the first player in Big Brother history with a single-season double-digit competition win total.

[@BGYMix]

Well.

[@thereviewer9789]

You're videos always make my monday!!

[@nathanghisolfo5537]

For your most consecutive rounds safe, technically, you did forget Janelle haha. Veto at F7 & F6, HoH at F5, and Veto again at F4. Beyond that, I love this video as it is an extremely fun topic. I kind of find it bizarre that people credit Dan for being the best player of all time and his winning game to be one of the best when he was literally immune from eviction once there were only 8 people left in the house straight until he literally won the game. Dan is an amazing player and he is my personal favorite, but seriously... how lucky was Dan on BB10?? Not to discredit his game, but that is absolutely insane. Anyway, very good video and I look forward to seeing your future ones! Do you think you might have time to do another winner analysis? I look forward to the ones with Jackson and Nicole.

[@Ethanimale]

Glad you enjoyed! And you’re right I did totally miss Janelle there. As for the winner video, times have been busy for awhile but I promise hopefully early summer I will get the Nicole winner video done

[@teleiamc]

I don't think it was as much luck as it was the Brian & Friends of Brian factor. Although Dan was a friend of Brian, he was on the block against Brian on the 1st eviction. Jerry hated Brian & wanted him gone. Stephen was winning more comps., so he was the next Friend of Brian to go (remember that Dan & Memphis were throwing comps heavily in the beginning of the game-even tho Memphis won the 1st comp-the car that he never received), next to go was Friend of Brian Angi (both my beloved Keesha & April wanted her gone, because Keesha heard Brian say that Angi was the prettiest girl in the house). By that time Jesse had pretty much alienated everybody else in the house, Keesha had her birthday, & Dan & Memphis were still throwing comps they didn't have to win. (Whew)!

[@dantheman8103]

Xavier's record ended up not taking long to be broken at all. Ironically, Taylor looks to likely have set the record for a long time, prossibly her ammount won in a season will never be broken untless they change the first plave winning amount again. Since as it stands now, without the 1st plave ammount changing, the only way someone will win more money than Taylor is if they win the game, win America's Favorite Player, and then win some ammount of money in another comp on top of that. And given not everyone plays in every challenge who is to say if anyne else wins 1st place and AFP they will even play in another comp that season with addtional prize money, much less win it. There are usually only 1 or 2 such comps each season. The only other way is some twist like AFP, Team America, etc. giving a huge ammount of prize money but most of the time that still doesn't mean as much as America's Favorite and if memory serves at least once they didn't have an AFP because of such a twist. So barring the prize money going to a billion dollars for winning the game, Taylor will likely have the record for the most money won for a LONG time since it will take a lot for anyone to even tie it.

I'm surprised Victor wasnt on the most total votes against. Only one season but I remembered him being evicted 9-1 first time and coming back twice. I checked though and second eviction was 2-1 and third was 2-0 so he only had 14 votes. But 14 Votes in one season is probably a record or close to it

[@bencalebrod]

If Celebrity Big Brother counts towards the record, I think Frankie is easily going to take the comp record if he ever comes back to play it. He'll be a massive front-runner to win any comp given the usual celebrity field, and he will probably make a deep run given how easy it'll likely be to pull off Derrick/Cody's game strategy Frankie will likely model his game after with a strategy inept celebrity field.
