[@maxaguilar6606]

It’s still too early for big moves yo

[@shryx86]

This season was the worst I've seen. No one made big moves, the competitions were mostly recycled, next door neighbor could've been interesting if they actually did something with it, and the cast needs to be better in the future. Everyone just got too comfortable too fast. Those on the bottom didn't seem like they were interested in joining together even for a week. I'd bet that's why the triple eviction happened, and it should've happened sooner. Change the house layout. The slight changes were neat, but take this next year to tear it down and start from scratch. Maybe a 3 floor house or just move rooms around. Do all the bedrooms need to be in the same area of the house? The game needs new life, and unlike in Survivor, the BB cast doesn't seem interested in changing things themselves.

[@legendarysingh2173]

@@jackmcg0 sorry but Will > Dan imo. Imagine making F2 while being the biggest target, and 0 vetoes, not to mention his astonishing performance in All Stars. I think that Will played better than Dan because Will overall had better jury management versus Dan. Will wins in literally every scenario, Janelle, Mike, Erika, George, etc. While Dan only beats people like Danielle, Jenn, and Joe. Statistically, Will beats 9 people on the jury, whereas Dan beats 3 out of the 9 people. Competition wise Dan wins easily since Will threw every comp. However I’m not team Will all the way, Dan was really incredible on BB10.

[@jackmcg0]

@@legendarysingh2173 Will was never the biggest target, and no veto benefitted him tremendously. Will’s entire game was him not being a target. His allstar performance wasn’t “astonishing” because he made a truly terrible play by promising Erika and Janelle final 3, which any good player would know that if either of them got their back against the wall, they’d of course use that to get out of being evicted. Will would’ve beat anyone in jury, but his own terrible gameplay led to him not making the finals. Dan on the other hand had amazing jury management his first season which is why he won unanimously. In his second season the pact not to vote for a returnee means he loses against everyone, so he had no chance there at all.

Ya, then everyone would actually want to play harder!!!

[@whats_holden_up]

[@ameliarose47]

I honestly think the only solution to the live finale problem is what Josh Martinez cracked in BB 19. In his goodbye messages, he told each juror about his strategy and what he was doing in the game and the hand he had in each eviction. It gave each juror the information they needed to have for finale night, gave them time to get over their bitterness before finale night, and time to campaign for him in the jury. In his final speech he didn't have to explain his gameplay from scratch in 30 seconds, but used that time to build on the foundations of it that the jury already knew. It's a new strategy and why I personally believe he deserved to win, because he cracked modern big brother. I think this is the key secret ingredient that modern player need to use to win.

[@shooflyesap771]

oooo new perspective, i’ve always hated bb19 and josh, but i see your point.

Everyone had such high hopes this season and it fell short within the first 3 weeks. I agree that more diverse casting is the best change they can make. Also the finale is always so rushed and I wish they did an after show kind of like how they do sometimes on Survivor. Loved this video so much! Totally subscribed.

[@marklisowski6549]

More diversity would work. Despite being from the more ethnically diverse, BBUS10 benefitted from age diversity. Big Brother’s appeals, especially as a social experiment, is bringing together people from all walks of life. I think both fans and even production get caught up with archetypes than the actual Houseguest. It comes with the territory of how Big Brother works, and it isn’t always a bad thing thought; it is just easy to stuck in that. That said you will get someone like Analyze or Haleigh every season due to showmancing as well someone like Steve or Angela, have parallels to past Houseguests, like Ian and Christmas.

[@marklisowski6549]

That said, the two positives I will say with the casting, as is, are: 1. There was an equal spilt of newer (season 16 onward) or older (up til season 15) Houseguest. 2. The wasn’t an over representation of any one season (the highest was 2 Houseguest from any season) Had COVID and controversy control wasn’t affecting casting choice, than the would likely more newer players than old and over-representation of some seasons (like season 16 and either 18 or 21 having at least 3 and 20 having at least 4 or 5 of them)

[@tourmii]

They definitely need more diversity. There's *no reason* for there to be 14 white people and 2 people of color time after time

[@marklisowski6549]

@@tourmii That is a go-to perception with casting, and what they kinda did do in older seasons with Big Brother, but there have been steps to improve that, like having more than one LGBT+, and more ethnicities, as past recent seasons both in US and Canada; despite all the racial accusations and controversies, BBUS21 had half the cast consisted of what I mentioned.

I think you nailed the problem. I never noticed the correlation between the loss of Food / Luxury Comps and the predictability of the show. It shines the light on the cracks in the alliances when you are forced to make some difficultly choices. Much like the tough spot you can be put in with the Survivor Loved One comp. BB16 was the start with the Battle of the Block no more weekly comps. That plus the large alliance trend has brought us here.

[@brotatochip451]

People who make alliances tend to think getting everyone out but the members is the right play but by doing this you're literally only playing big brother with those alliance members so it's so limiting and boring to watch

[@marklisowski6549]

BBUS did see that alliance sharing a bit due to Devin, but it didn’t break down enough. If it resulted in at least Christine ditching the Bomb squad instead staying with them to re-tool it as the Detonators, then it would have at least resulted in some small shifts.

[@marklisowski6549]

Also, a mega alliance situation can get neutralized, like if there is at least another mega alliance, like season 20, the alliance cannibalizes it self, like BBCAN5 and BBUS21, though it that can yield some messy and ugly tv and gameplay until that happens. If there is no balance of power, like quite a few seasons or a floater inadvertently benefits the larger power, like Steve did in BBUS17 during the first double eviction, then it gets slanted and even so one-sided you almost hope a twist happens to shake things up or make things somewhat interesting, even momentarily, with this season and BBCAN7 showing that.

The ending of this season was quite satisfying, and we saw some fantastic gameplay from Cody, Enzo, Memphis, and Da'Vonne. Even Nicole and Dani had some strong gameplay moments. I just think that the pregaming and one alliance running the house definitely brought the season down. Additionally, the loss of fan favorites like Keesha, Janelle, Kaysar, and Bayleigh pre-jury and the character assassinations of former fan favorites like both Nicoles and Tyler really hurt the season as well.

[@20YearSoul]

Tyler was the only hope. He shouldn't have played Cody's game. He could've fostered Bayleigh's support, never talked to David about Da'Vonne and got their support and been leader of the outcasts.

He didn't have to stick to the Committee

She wanted to give us an All-Star season to give us the entertainment we wanted and we needed when we were stuck at home. So god bless Julie and the production people for making this season even possible and bringing back some great old faces! ❤️ Edit: I am also including the ‘don’t blame the production as well’ part because I am just afraid that if the production of big brother sees so many negative things about them. We might not get another season! (Sorry I am just paranoid lol)

I think that blaming Julie is really dumb, but blaming production is fine. Just watch any of the last 3 weeks of the game, they didn't have anything to edit and they didn't bother with any twists to make the game interesting at that point. The comps were really terrible and boring (like the veto when Nicole A was evicted- what even was that supposed to be) Also, the casting is 100% productions fault too. Why would you ever cast Christmas over Jessica/Cody (even though I hate him)? Why is only Da'vonne coming back from bb17? None of the newbies from BB18 are back either. There are so many better options to cast than Christmas or David or Memphis. They shouldn't have called it all stars, but second chances instead and went this route. A lot of real all stars couldn't participate this year because of pregnancy (Vanessa, Rachel, Britney and I think jessica from bb19 too), just go with a different theme and bring us some Rockstar and kat Dunn for good TV.

[@79treefrog]

I cannot agree more with everything you said in this video. I want to highlight where you said that they need to focus on a more diverse cast--because I think it really is essential for the survival and longevity of this show. One of the most exciting aspects of this show is watching how these people live and react to each other. Having 10-12 "social media influencers" and Instagram models in their 20s is beyond boring. A season I remember so vividly is 10 because of the cast. Keesha, Renny, Jerry, Ollie & April, Jessie, and Dan & Memphis interacting and socializing together was phenomenal. The New Orleans middle-aged woman, the veteran senior citizen, the African American pastor's son, a young bartender, a young Catholic high school football coach, and a young, boastful, bodybuilder all reacting and mixing together in one house was a sight to behold. Even with Kent and Bunky, watching them become friends and work together was crazy. If more seasons can spark this kind of cast and this kind of people, I find it hard for this current Big Brother mentality and game plan to continue. Bring fat people, old people, Asian people, African Americans, Spanish people, poor white people from the Midwest, and loud New Yorkers to the cast. There are so many people in the U.S., we are a melting pot of everything. There is no excuse to have a primarily white, 20-year-old cast of social media influencers. No excuse whatsoever.

[@sushibu]

Just a note: It will be VERY hard for them to get a diverse group of people because EVERYONE on BB has to have 1. Access to regular internet, cell service, etc. 2. Be able to AFFORD travel to LA/ large cities for casting calls and interviews (only the last two rounds are paid for by producers) and 3. Be in a stable enough living condition that they can take the time off work to engage in the interviews and travel needed prior to even knowing if they are accepted to the show AND THEN be able to take off over 3 months of work for the actual show. It's difficult to get a broader range of contestants when there is a large wall for those with less privilege to be able to try to be on the show. I can understand that being a part of the 3 month show is literally a part of the process and necessary (duh) but the money needed to just APPLY to the show is massive.

[@Peridiam]

This is true and what makes casting a little more difficult. But I'd have to imagine they get applications from all over with a varying range of people. I think they could find a more leveled cast if they really wanted to.

[@sushibu]

@@Peridiam Yeah, exactly. If they really wanted to they would put a bit more money in it and effort into accommodating to those that may only have video submissions etc, but that's just more work they seem to not want to put the energy into now unfortunately

Big Brother: Some Stars

[@nible8055]

Cody’s game wasn’t quite as good as derricks, I feel like Derrick is just such a good player than he set himself up to always be in a good position basically the entirety of the game, Cody while good did get extremely lucky. if their were twists a little later in the game, or his alliance lost 2 or so comps he would have been placed in a bad position, and most likely thrown up on the block. luckily for him everyone that was a threat to him was unable to win any power whatsoever so he was safe regardless. Then theirs the fact that the ppl who were winning comps were also the ones too scared to make a move on cody, and that Tyler quit, and that Dani got rid of Ian instead of Tyler when Nicole was gonna follow whatever Dani wanted, Dani could have used the excuse of Tyler wanting to quit and that he was telling her to put him Up in order to keep the blood off her hands, so instead of having a Tyler who had stopped playing we would have had an Ian who just started playing. Or if Tyler just didn’t quit in the first place cody probably would have been put into a lot worse position. It also helped him that his to closed ally’s in Enzo and Nicole where both willing to lose to cody, by taking him to the end knowing they would get second place (you don’t find people like this often) while technical you could say cody did this in s16 by taking Derrick, Cody actually did have game, outside of just being a pawn and a shield (unlike Enzo and Nicole), also to give Derrick a few more points here I never really felt like he was in much danger even when certain events didn’t go his way, he was smart and calculated enough to get out of those hard spots. While for Cody I think if a few things went a little different he would have gone home.

It's hard to continue to enjoy a show that allows micro aggressions, bullying, racism and has no inclusiveness. It's hurtful, disappointing and disheartening. The fact that some people are completely fine with seeing the mistreatment of certain HGs is truly disgusting. The casuals never understand what's going on because the show is heavily edited. They love for their favorites to look a certain way instead of holding them accountable. It's sad. 😔😤

Was there any racism this season though? If there was, I don’t remember it

[@dumbb6178]

I need some context

[@TheeAntisocialXxtrovert]

@@BC-fx2yt I'm talking about the show overall. There were some micro aggressions though. Xmas saying she was afraid Day and Bay were going to stab or shoot her after being nominated. Cody saying David winning and using his power was equivalent to OJ Simpson getting away with murder. Tyler using BLM...I'm not even going there. Ian saying he wouldn't vote for Day, David or Kevin. That looked really bad because they're all black and were nice to him the whole time. He apologized on twitter for that though. The way Memphis belittled David being aggressive towards him. Dani, Xmas and Nicole calling Bayleigh a thief although Janelle gave Bay some of her clothes. Dani made fun of Day having fibroids saying they're not real, which isn't true. Fibroids are a huge medical issue amongst black women. There are women in my family who've had them including my mom. She had surgery to get them removed. When people called Dani out on twitter for the things she did in the house, she started blocking people left and right. She did not want to be held accountable for anything.

You and the rest of Twitter just needs to fucking toughen up, we're all sick of your comments like these. You think that we want a santitized game where nobody is mean to each other, shows hints of racism, or bullies anyone. WE DON"T. We want to see how humanity really acts in private, how they choose to act around each other and what those ramifications are. Part of why these seasons are so boring is nobody wants to be a Twitter Target. We should all just allow things to be teachable moments and stop cancelling people.

I couldn’t agree with you more. My first season was also 12, 14 was my favorite by far, and I have also been binging the previous seasons leading up to this (starting with 2 (I can’t make it through season 1) and I’m currently on season 12) My favorite seasons are the ones where there are two strong alliances and the power shifts every week. Season 6 is a great example of this. No one is safe. And you never know what is going to happen. They definitely need to diversify the cast more. more POC, a bigger age range, and I would love to see some plus size people show up. The best thing about this season for me was there were no showmances. Everyone being older and settled down took away at least that aspect that I feel gets far too much attention in other seasons. Hopefully season 23 will be better and they can learn from the mistakes of this season.

It was a 3 month long Pagonging; that in itself isn't necessarily bad to have once in a while. Survivor producers implemented tribe swaps and double boot episodes to counter the predictability of Pagongings. I'm much less confident the BB producers are capable of such fundamental gameplay changes. That is the biggest problem.

There isn’t an official term for this in Big Brother. If a term could come into light and the producers were aware of that term than something could done more so. My vote for the Big Brother equivalent of pagonging is sheep-herding

I think you missed a big part of the mega-alliance strategy in that those comprising the mega-alliance tend to be people who are great at challenges. This means that not only does this mega-alliance have greater numbers but also a LARGE chance at winning the HOH/Vetos essentially giving them maximal control over the game. Beyond shifting the casting to make them more diverse, I think its essential that they shift the type of challenges that are in Big Brother to make it so varied in terms of the type of person who can win it. Some physical challenges, some balance oriented challenges, some memory/intelligence challenges. I don't know, just figure out a way to make it so that less athletic but smart people can win, so that the people on the bottom have a chance at breaking up the mega alliances.

[@InvaderTrond]

Cody winning was great, him cutting Nicole and taking Enzo was great, Day winning AFP was great. Great finale overall. My biggest problem with the season was the Triple Eviction and the endgame dragging. The Triple took away the final 5 speed up surprise eviction and it also sucked the life out of the season which made the endgame drag. They either need to never bring the triple back or just speed up the endgame so each eviciton isn't a full week or something. There aren't enough players at the end and depending on who wins Hoh/veto you already know the results of the week

[@marklisowski6549]

That wasn’t the triple eviction’s fault, as they did that crap last season (with only one double eviction and re-entry comp) and production thought it was good idea to have the remaining weeks just be one eviction per week. If placed and done right, something like a triple eviction can work effectively. If anything, this highlights that Big Brother actually needs increase the cast size to at least 18 to have more flexibility with the game flow.

[@legendarysingh2173]

To be honest, the triple eviction low key saved the season. It was much better that everything was sped up so people wouldn’t had to watch the season more.

This might be out there as far as an idea to fix the show is concerned but one idea I like is offering the cast cash each time they vote in the MINORITY to evict someone Not sure if it would be enough incentive for the vast majority but could be interesting to see the internal struggle within people deciding if they should take the money for themselves or stay true to their majority alliance. Could lead to mistrust and more volatility which creates a more interesting show. At the very least it should eliminate the incredibly boring 9-0, 8-0, etc. votes
