RHAPpy Hour | Top 10 Worst Moves in Big Brother History

[@traciemac9533]

Rewatching.We need more ranking podcasts. They are the best. Miss Jordan. He was so gracious when people were so rude regarding his bad game move that he's owned since being evicted. Let it go

[@MakennaGleason]

Back in 2024!! Wonder how the rankings would stand with the additions of: -bb18 Paulie not using the veto on Zakiyah -bb18 Paul evicting James over Nicole at the f3 -bb19 Jessica not using the veto on Ramses during her HOH -bb20 pretty much every move made by foutte/the hive, most notably Kaitlyn evicting Swaggy, Bayliegh telling Rachel about her power app, Rockstar giving Tyler the answer during OTEV, Fessy evicting Scottie -bb21 Cliff and Nicole evicting Tommy over Holly at the f5 -bb23 Kyland using the veto on Xavier at the f5 -bb24 Daniel using the veto on Indy and Alyssa and accidentally helping to send home Nicole Probably forgetting a bunch

[@Eric_Rebron]

Update: a handful of moves Makensy made in BB26. Most notably evicting Cam instead of Chelsie at F3 and getting Leah out.

[@Jack-jx6ln]

Watching this late. Taran criticizing Will for bb all stars but not criticizing Cody for taking Derrick to final 2 is crazy

[@TheCubinator]

Lawon wanting to be evicted is similar to Ozzy wanting to be voted out in South Pacific, however Ozzy's move had some strategy in it

[@pandemonium928]

The Cubinator z However is Ozzy let Cochran go to redemption island and Christine wins the duel, Christine would probably go with Ozzy and he would probably win the season

[@kaylahlee1206]

Frankie backdooring Zach should at least get an honorable mention

[@craigresendes2403]

With regard to Marcellas, one of the points that no one brought up was that he was also completely emotionally manipulated by Danielle to not use the Veto. It wasn't just the novelty of the Golden POV, it was also Danielle's strategic and social brilliance.

[@trevorredick12]

Taran criticizing Dr. Will is like Skip Bayless criticizing LeBron.

[@blackwidowbrigade5042]

Anyone can critize anyone Thinking Will made no mistakes is delusional

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

No, it’s like Simon Cowell criticizing a really good singer on the X Factor. Someone who knows exactly what they’re talking about, even if they can’t do the same exact thing.

[@__MjG__]

I’m replying to the original comment. It doesn’t require a great player or even a former player to be qualified to criticize/judge a great player & their moves. Taran & many others are basically experts of Big Brother. They are more qualified to criticize BB houseguests than probably any player in the history of the show. They have spent thousands of hours watching & analyzing the live feeds & episodes, then they have hundreds of podcasts going over every detail on the live feeds & episodes. They know this game inside & out.

[@Jack-jx6ln]

[@SilentPodcasts]

Not gonna lie, Jordan Parhar was the best host and is irreplaceable. Such a positive presence.

[@nataliegb9140]

Love these podcasts! Thanks for providing so much BB-related content :D

[@provokedpersian7643]

You are right about Danielle and Jason, Jordan! This move cost Jason $500k, Danielle was playing for 2nd!!

[@clam379]

To be fair to Chilltown, they didn't expect Operation Double Date to make it to the final 4, they intended to cut Erika/Janelle at 5. Will even broke his thumb trying to stop Erika from winning the F5 Veto.

[@ginnyjami]

Umm, Dani had nothing to do with Lawon going up. It wasn't her decision. Kalia had made a deal with Jordan that they wouldn't put each other up. Dani wanted her to put up Jordan next to Rachel to ensure that Rachel was evicted. Kalia originally wanted to put up Porsche and Dani talked her out of it because she knew between Lawon and Porsche, that Porsche would be able to win a comp. Lawon would not. Jordan would have put Kalia up in a heartbeat so Kalia SHOULD HAVE put Jordan up. Also, Shelly is the one who convinced Kalia to put up Porsche. Dani spent HOURS trying to talk Kalia out of it. Also, she tried to get everyone to vote Rachel out when Lawon was on the block next to her and they wouldn't.. Since they weren't sure what the twist was for that eviction, Kalia was overly scared that Rachel would come right back in the house, which she would have because Brendan would have thrown the comp to her, like he did thru-out S13 and she would have returned. Dani would then have gotten rid of Rachel as Brendan would not have returned to the house. (Rachel is not comp beast. She actually sucks.) Many comps were thrown to her. Prod. also was helping her after Jeff was evicted as this whole season was rigged for him to win. He couldn't even win when he was being helped so much. Let's not forget that Brendan used the veto on Rachel or she would have been gone. There is only so much production can do to help the person they want to win and Jeff blew it.

[@traciemac9533]

Cody taking Derrick over veronica was terrible but no move will ever be worse than sending yourself home hoping to get a superpower. Not sure why Jordan had cody's move as worst

[@craigresendes2403]

Jee putting the house on slop during his second HOH should have been an honorable mention.

[@provokedpersian7643]

Craig Resendes It was actually PB&J back then but I agree with you. Plus he won McDonald's once/day for a week when he should have let one of the other HGs win that.

[@twsb156]

Paul taking Nicole this season finale hurt me inside a little.

[@0pacbig32]

the ciera scenario was in survivor and it was at the end of the second 3rd of the game when that happened

[@jesselynfloyd2453]

Marcellas not using veto on himself is the dumbest move ever

[@AnnaMidnightStar]

Taran is 100% correct about the Dr. Will thing. Dr. Will not winning in f4 and then making it obvious that the two girls have to target each other directly cost him the game.

[@monkeycaviar250]

I love this podcast. Great work from everyone. #FollowThatMonkey

[@provokedpersian7643]

I remember thinking Ivette was an idiot when she said such stupid things to Rachel and it was uncalled for!

[@jeremyyap5799]

"Are you sure?" you don't wanna include BBCan

[@0pacbig32]

and howies move could have poentally cost him and Rachel 1,250,00 dollars in this season they had secret partners and if a pair made it to the end the winner would receive 1,000,000 dollars and the unner up 250,000 dollars

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

Rachel got so screwed. She was such an all around player, good at comps, great socially, smart, but she takes her eyes off howie for two seconds and he's nominating his alliance, which was just about to steamroll.

[@bbsnow3624]

Great Mario Party 2 reference Alex!!!! from the other day

[@ginnyjami]

Again, Dani DID NOT turn on the vets, they turned on her!!!! Dani wanted to get rid of Jeff, that's it. She wanted to go to the end with Rachel. She knew she could beat her. She had just told Dominic the night before when she was telling him her strategy, she stated she trusted R&B 100%. Dominic screwed himself and Dani by telling Shelly he wanted to go after the guys. Dani told Dom not to tell anyone what they discussed, but he knew from what she told him that she was going to cut him at some point. So he wanted Shelly to help him go after the guys and said he knew Dani would be on board, which she NEVER told him btw. Shelly went to Jordan and they both went up to R&B in HOH and lied and told them Dani and Dom wanted to go after the couples and that is why the vets TURNED ON DANI!! Dom not only blew up his game but Dani's game as well. Shelly was with the vets, specifically Jeff & Jordan. Dani never outed Shelly to Dom at that point.

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

You turn on one, you turn on all. Brenchel saw Jeff and Jordan as their biggest allies. If Dani turns on Jeff she turns on Jordan, showing that she IS willing to turn on her fellow vets and IS willing to turn on power couples. Rachel would be stupid to think that Danielle wouldn't do the same to her even if that was the truth.

[@ttewelow1]

I'm not entirely sure that I agree with the sentiment that Cowboy evicting Nakomis over Diane at the final 4 of Big Brother 5 being one of the dumbest moves in the series history. On paper, it sounds like a really dumb move, but when you actually watch the season back, it makes perfect sense why he did what he did

[@seal3081]

Honestly I don't even remember some of these names.

[@RecencyBiasRadio]

Lawon better be a CONSENSUS #1.

[@logchi7779]

Hardy and Nicole getting rid of Bunky before Monica will always be on my list

[@0pacbig32]

lets be fair I commented that on the seasons rankings they believed ithat amy was bettr because lisa was throwing competitions

[@xizzerinc.4667]

Ollie and Dan is not really a mistake but more a stroke of genius and stupidity. I think the podcast covers it enough, but I still need to give Dan credit for pulling it off in the first place.

[@Bizzybanks24]

Xizzer Inc. idk I don’t think it was that dumb by Ollie. 1. Who’s to say that Ollie would’ve won anyway? Ollie kind of looked like he was struggling, and better to take the deal than not if you may lose. 2. This wasn’t bb14 Dan. This was bible toting Dan that built himself up as pretty trustworthy and hadn’t really shown himself to be this schemer or mastermind. He flipped once but he seemed to feel really bad about it, and it’s not like Ollie was THAT close to Jessie, and since Ollie had flipped on Dan in week 1, he probably thought it was even at that point. 3. If Dan is the HoH and he follows through with the plan, Ollie gets to play in the next veto and put Dan up the next week. I just think this was genius move by Dan, not the deal himself, but the persona that he built for himself to get Ollie to take this move.

[@AkaniTV]

I really miss Jordan and Alex’s commentary.

[@Eric_Rebron]

My list 1. Lawon special powers 2. Paul evicts james instead of nicole (I know this was made before) 3. Danielle using veto on dan 4. Cody evicted victoria 5. Marcellas not using veto 6. How nominating James and sarah 7. Julia targets Austin in veto comp 8. Zach not using veto at final 5 in bb8 9. Jason evicting Amy at final 4 10. Jacob telling jen that people think parker is a snake 11. Mccrae evicting elissa 12. Nathan using veto on alison 13. Ollie taking Dan's deal 14. Bb14 everyone evicting jojo over danielle and dan 15. Dusting volunteers to be a pawn 16. Roddy refusing to promise amy a vote 17. Cowboy evicting nakomis 18. Ivettes good bye message to rachel 19. Jennifer nominating kaysar 20. Mike dutz taunting evel dick in veto comp

[@totaldramatyler4484]

OK Dustin volunteered to be a pawn, that would have worked had it not been for America's Player. It would have been a tie, and Jessica votes out Dick, since Eric did the same.

[@Eric_Rebron]

@@totaldramatyler4484 I know but there was simply no strategic upside for him volunteering as a pawn. He might as well not have done it but took the risk anyways for no reason. I just think it was a pointless risk

[@xizzerinc.4667]

I will agree that Howie nominating James and Sarah was a terrible move. Why he decided that he could ever trust Maggie in the first place is beyond me, but he did and he put up two people from his own alliance which basically destroyed it and his alliance and allowed the opposite alliance to 1. always have the numbers for the remainder of the season for every eviction, and 2. realize that Howie was the most easily manipulated HG ever. Up to that point in the game (minus Marcellas of course), I'd call it the dumbest move ever.

[@provokedpersian7643]

I despise season 9 with a fiery passion!!!!

[@majorj_gallagher2052]

Are you doing bb18 draft?

[@TheCubinator]

Why is Dan wanting to join the game as a player a bad decision?

[@Bizzybanks24]

Because there’s no way he wins

[@whitneytrevon]

@@Bizzybanks24 What hurt Dan the most was the coaches not sticking together after the reset. Boogie and Janelle not squashing their beef (which was more on Boogie) hurt them all. Only way Dan wins is standing next to Boogie or Janelle in the end. Dan really wanted to work with the coaches, but Boogie was insistent on staying on the sinking ship of Frank. Dan doesn’t backstab as much with Boogie and Janelle still in the game.

[@battletoadboss1723]

mike from bb8 is not on this list?

[@AlexKidwell1]

This is the one I'm most irritated I forgot to mention. It was one of the 4 BB8 moments that did make my list, but it didn't make anyone else's. Antagonizing any HOH to the degree that you make them nominate you is an awful play, but when it's Dick? A guaranteed ticket out the door.

[@timmarzullo5069]

Hey why didn't anyone mention Jeff backdooring Russell? or is that move just somewhat bad not REALLY REALLY bad?

[@timmarzullo5069]

nvm just saw the ending lol

[@0pacbig32]

the purpose of the competition was that to destract people and its dick if it was anyone else kail gies that week

[@totaldramatyler4484]

@@timmarzullo5069 It was a move that needed to be made, but Jeff pulled the trigger on it a week too soon. It's only somewhat bad, because Michelle would still work with him and Jordan. He just got unlucky that Kevin won the next HOH.

[@ocho33]

I am so with Taran, Victoria is in no way an amazing player, but she is definitely underrated. I think just out of the jury thinking that they are so dumb to have let Victoria slide by, they may have voted for her. And the pact thing was legit, and Derrick, arguably one of the most level headed players in BB history, admitted after the show that he would have indeed voted for Victoria over Cody. I totally get why it is considered a bad move in hindsight, but I can totally see a Victoria win over Cody, which is why I may not have included this on my list.

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

I am usually never like this, and I like to be completely factual in my arguments, but anyone who doesn't think that Cody made the first or second worst move in BB history is a complete dumbass. Taran is usually very smart, but his blind admiration for the Hitmen/S16 and his desperate want for Cody to get more recognition distracts him from the truth - Victoria had no chance in hell. All these people do in Big Brother is lie and deceive. Pacts meant nothing to them. If you think just because people threaten to vote victoria for a winner after derrick gets them to say so that it'll actually happen, you are deluded. No amount of sheer bitterness and blind faith and trust in a pact would allow any of these people to vote victoria.

[@lukeellerstein6767]

@@TheMurrmursonbottle well Cody is now arguably the best player of all time so looks like taran was right about how good he was at least

[@TheMurrmursonbottle]

@@lukeellerstein6767 I never said he was a bad player, but he clearly grew between BB16 and BB22. His move in 16 was still the worst move ever in BB, but realizing he was one of Derricks many puppets who made a serious mistake in his last season allowed him to mature into a much better player. He showed a lot of potential his first time, but he never showed true skill and capability until this time.

[@evanjean9362]

I'm about done listening to Taran talk about Will and Dan..he brings it up EVERY podcast he's on and never criticizes anything Dan did. He seriously needs to stop

[@austinnickell2561]

Super late to this party- y'all misrepresented Da'Vonne in the Honorable Mentions. She didn't confront Clay, Clay came to her after Audrey prompted him to. Clay and Shelli also sent Jeff in their to see what she was doing. Da'Vonne wasn't in the wrong, she was right.

[@declandonovan1612]

ok taran. he did know better, dr will set up the game for boogie to win. he didn't want to win, he wanted janelle or boogie to win because he had already had. also, they had been fooling the girls for so long, so obviously it shouldn't be on this list. taran he didn't want to win, find the interview about it...

[@Eric_Rebron]

Declan Timothy that makes the move even worse. YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!!!

for my list of 15 dumbest moves I made a list of 50 moves and mike boogie going for 10000 dollars in the week 6 HOH in big brother 14 is on that list and he gets evicted that week and he was in a great position to win HOH

[@xizzerinc.4667]

Nope sorry, #9 is irrelevant. Should Cowboy been evicted at final 3 instead, YES, it would be relevant and stupid. But because Drew decided to end the showmance and take him to the end, it still worked out for him. Sure, it may have screwed him otherwise, epecially considering his terrible comp history, but I call BS on #9.

[@Eric_Rebron]

That's just a results-oriented way of looking at it. It's still overall a terrible decision and the move made no sense.
