[@beccanpott]

“Bowie Jane, looking confused as ever, shakes her head and turns over the single greatest answer in BB history” truer words have never been spoken

[@ShuGoCrazy]

At least she said she was trying to throw

[@cogi4829]

​@@ShuGoCrazyshe shouldve done 1 million or anything higher

[@TheMArtagnan]

@@cogi4829well she can take comfort in knowing no one really remembers that she was HOH this week

[@jacob-ni6jr]

I just know Bowie Jane was going to win this competition

[@alexander.tahtadjian]

I agree. That was a glorious answer.

[@adro8888]

I don’t blame some of these answers being ridiculous considering Julie’s “I NEED an answer” pressure 😅.

[@williamskelton325]

That and who the hell would know something like "how many pounds of m and ms were in the giant bowl" LOL

[@williamskelton325]

Jun in BB 4 slyly looking at Allison answer in the final HOH....then writing down 1 million...all so Allison can piss of Robert by Evicting him was utter genius and utterly hilarious

[@eliasmg9144]

She really was the best player of that season

[@alexandermihailescu7495]

McCrae’s look of absolute astonishment for being 1 over on the BB15 tiebreaker kills me every time

[@Wallace_101]

I would’ve been a bit upset knowing that I lost cause everyone else was literally perfect

[@Ryder2800]

Almost at 27 minutes for Bowie Jane

[@Ethanimale]

shoooooot i need to go back and add 40 seconds

[@speedude0164]

Omg I can't 🤣

[@tonto77]

I was laughing so hard when Bowie Jane won 😂 not only do I just like her in general, she just seemed so shocked at it

[@johnfeather6476]

Everyone reacting to Jen winning HOH in BB8 the way she did was so funny. Lol

[@brianco28]

my whole family burst out laughing when it came down to felicia and fucking bowie jane, only for them both to give the most batshit insane answers

[@JNDReacts]

Honestly I believe what Bowie said in the house the day after the comp vs what she said in the DR. Mishearing the question and guessing how long Jared was out of the house, only to realize she misheard and quickly add a number makes way more sense. If she was trying to throw, and she realized her answer might be too low and accidentally win, she could’ve added a few more numbers to go really high. Or she could’ve gotten a question wrong before the tiebreaker.

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

Bowie Jane accidentally winning HOH by beating Felicia & being the best HOH this season is iconic!

[@Zorzu-df5mm5wb6t]

Naw best HOH is Cameron

[@TheLegendaryMovieCritic]

@@Zorzu-df5mm5wb6tHe got evicted twice in a season!

[@zaniahsims]

i knew you were gonna do this as soon as bowie answered 27 😂😂

[@derekracano]

IVETTE SPRINTING AWAY IS SO FUNNY TO ME

[@nasinnarcotics]

As someone with a dissociative disorder I can vouch for there being 27 minutes in a week sometimes

[@marklisowski6549]

Bad tiebreaker answers personifies one mind-fucking aspect Big Brother does any and all aspect: even are normally good at it, your ability to do math, at least readily, goes straight to shit while you are in that house.

[@staceynainlab888]

well especially if you have Julie barking at you for an immediate answer

[@marklisowski6549]

@@staceynainlab888 Yeah, that doesn’t help the houseguests either, but especially whenever she also reminds the houseguest the portion of the episode is live.

[@Flubberduckie]

What I’ve learned, if you want to lose, guess high 😂 so many ppl guessing low to throw it and accidentally win

[@Rickthe69]

I think Bowie Jane was actually foreshadowing the next season in buddy games that will have 9 teams of three thus the answer of 27

[@MrFancyDragon]

PLEASE tell me Sindy’s tie breaker from BBCAN 5 is on here. It’s literally the thing that led to all the chaos from that double eviction XD

[@nathaniel1502]

Felicia said on feeds that she thought Julie said seconds

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

Really?

[@kylemccalmont2504]

That’s still a terrible answer cuz that’s less than 14 hours lol

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

@@kylemccalmont2504 Yeah she would still be wrong! Maybe she was trying to cover her ass and not completely stupid!

[@staceynainlab888]

the 60x60 makes sense then. that is only a logical place to start if you're trying to calculate seconds

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

@@staceynainlab888 Yes!

[@MyGuyJustinH]

8:15 I will never forget Ivette's reactions to winning those HOHs.

[@kengeorgejones6855]

This season people are accused of throwing competitions week after week after week, even when they pretty clearly didn't, so I'm glad we finally got somebody who meant to throw and accidentally won. I had forgotten how nerve-wracking the old competitions were when you got to see them at the end of the live show instead of waiting 3 hours or 4 hours, long after the dust has settled and your nerves aren't as fried. I remember that BB7 Danielle/George competition so well as I thought the BB Prom idea was very clever (I wish they'd brought it back again - wasn't that also a week Janelle won some kind of power she couldn't use as she was outgoing HOH?). And who can forget the sight of a thrilled Howie cheering and hugging George...

[@ARedToilet]

You forgot in BB8 (I think Final 4 HOH) There was a Tiebreaker between Zach and Danielle and they were 1 number off from each other.

[@KristianYeager]

I will NEVER, EVER get over how we would’ve gotten an Erika WIN in BB4 if only the houseguests moved in the house in the morning or the season was just 1 dayyy longer!!! 😫😭😅

[@wizardkumaanimations9984]

Would is the wrong word COULD fits way more Robert and Erika are in the same position They both needed to win the two following comps to win Because if erika did win the hoh and sent robert home She could have easily met the same fate as robert in the final 3

[@MrNightRome]

the Jen one with the tea cup i remember watching when i was younger and right away calling out the door on the cup

[@melonmanwill]

Ngl if I’m on BB and in a tie breaker I’d put a ridiculous number just so channels like this would be forced to talk about me years down the line

[@staceynainlab888]

I want someone to answer with an equation just to see how Julie responds. something like (15pi/80)-7

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

Sadly I would probably suck at tie breaker questions! Because one of my big problems in school was doing math in my head! So I would probably lose the tie breaker!

[@KingBaller06gaming]

You forgot to mention that Bowie said she threw the HoH (despite the fact she could have intentionally not gotten a perfect score in order to be tied with Felicia in the first place).

[@e_eyster]

These comps are always interesting because it normally seems like just dumb luck wins them. For this recent zombie one I would have just done 25x60x6=9000 then maybe tack an extra 500 or so onto it, try and be close-ish but for sure being under (of course I would have lost by a random guess of 10k)

[@AllycatlovesAG]

I paused while watching the tiebreaker and used a calculator (because I'm bad at math and not in the game ;) ) and did 60x24x6 and got 8640, as I was worried doing a full 7 days would be too high but I wasn't sure how many hours it was. I would have won HOH... but I don't know if my mental math would have been good enough

[@vekskunk2685]

Felicia after the comp knew her answer was ridiculous and she should have guessed around 10,000.

[@twistedreviews9574]

Lol maybe in Australia there are 27 hrs in a week, but I have always known there are 168 hrs in a week. It's ingrained in my head at this point!!

[@DJGNYC]

I have really enjoyed these last few BB vids…super fun & informative. Good work Ethanimale!

[@Skypost4ever]

Going into work on Monday's be like "i wish there were only 27 minutes in a week."

[@cowoljarwoff]

"Yeah.... crazy 👀" - Me, whos math would blow WAY worse than these answers

[@kamerongreen5993]

Bowie wining was so funny

[@supernovaskies5044]

4:41... I have not seen BB4... But that is an insanely iconic and infamous moment and I'm gonna take it with me wherever I shall go next in life. OH AND JUN OUTHREW THE COMP OH MY GOD A QUEEN 5:27

[@EK-9vv]

I will never get over the Jee/Justin tiebreaker answers 😭

[@laurenmarco6162]

Funny how Ivette thought she won fair but Maggie gave it to her. Lol

[@jessemala]

You should do the best zings in bb history

[@staceynainlab888]

my personal favourite is "Cody, you're such a nice guy, you haven't made any enemies this season. except maybe, Christine's husband"

[@jodeboyd8386]

i always feel nervous for whoever gets involved in tie breaker. 5:17 that was the funniest those 2 were all season

This was such a fun look back at tiebreakers!

[@jaylenbarnes2.079]

Awesome Video

[@yourblueberrymajesty]

I wasn't confused I totally expected a video like this seeing Bowie Jane and Fecilia's answers and you delivered!

Another Video made at the right time!

[@the_fd_180]

Loved underdog Jordan. Jeff kicked her butt in gear and made her study.

[@k9proution]

YESSSSSSSSS FINALLY

[@lukedesvaux]

Alrighty so HERE'S a way to potentially 'cheat' during a tie breaker challenge. Put a ' - ' at the start of your answer. You can argue that it's either a dash OR a negative sign. Let's suppose it's a 1v1, and the answer is 400. You write down '-600' (thinking the answer is positive 600). Your opponent writes down '500'. Since you're both over, your opponent would win. However, you could potentially argue that you meant NEGATIVE 600, meaning you would be the rightful winner. You can also simply argue that it's a bullet point in the event you're under the answer.

[@staceynainlab888]

not sure how production would respond to that. they might say negative numbers are invalid answers. if not, they would probably make it a rule from then onwards the number has to be above zero

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

Steve got the wrong number but still won!

[@meganneudorf6150]

Derek in BB Canada giving 420 as his answer lives rent free

[@coherentramblings7326]

I feel like I’m slightly above average when it comes to mental math, but that completely goes out the window when I HAVE to be fast. I actually attempted to figure out the Bowie vs Felicia tiebreaker in real time and I also thought it would be roughly 50,000

[@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849]

Sadly me and my mom missed because we had internet for Bowie Jane and Felicia tie breaker! However when I told my mom she said this! 27 No Your Lying! OMG She Actually Put That! No Change Bowie Keep Your Mistakes!

[@reginamachamer821]

Oh man that drove me nuts.. had Felicia done the math right, she still would've been way off.. but she would have won 😂

[@claytoneason9585]

Let's not forget that the tiebreaker answer remains to me of The Price is Right.

[@superwilly55]

On Celeb BB, I remember Tamar giving a ridiculous tie-breaking answer in the final 4 HOH that Ricky won.

[@jgmart2900]

Now Tuesday’s episode can be added when blue won the 2nd veto guessing how long jag would last holding on.

[@thomasa6262]

There's an insane one in BB Canada 11 where the correct answer was 615 and the person who won had guessed 613

[@aaronsmith4806]

I didn’t realize it was a price is right thing of you can’t go over

[@Kingrj866]

You should do the history of zingbot😊

[@inphlox]

The "price is right" rule is infuriating. It just doesn't make any sense in this context. Plus, when both contestants go over, they just award the win to the closest player anyway rather than replaying. Why do we see "price is right" everywhere in American culture?

[@mmarceline3]

i can’t judge any answers cause if you asked me to tell you what was wrong with bowie jane and felicia’s answers, i wouldn’t be able to tell you😂 i’m not the best with numbers

[@evanfarber359]

ivette sprinting everytime she wins 💀

[@noahdesrosiers3238]

This might sound weird but this was the exact video I’ve been looking/waiting for. It’s been months but I’ve been fascinated by the history of tiebreaker questions in BB so thank you for making this video

[@thebowtie______5037]

have you done accedental hohs?

[@Razzberry_dollz]

I don’t get why over is worst even if it closer

[@gito4066]

I feel like it’ll just be faster this way. It’s obvious if somebody is 3 over, but if we have somebody 500 under and another person 499 over they’ll have to waste time checking the winner

[@zartesiempre9554]

It's a shame you didn't add any BBCan ones, cos there's some great ones there too. Pili thinking that there's 2600 minutes in 3 hours :')

[@henryratul999]

Please bring back Rockstar on her daughter's birthday 😂

[@pebblethetiger]

when i heard the answer originally i crapped my self cuz i did 1440 * 7 while watching with family and then tagged on a bit more and said 10,100

[@alexanderestrada2499]

My mom thinks janelle cheated. I knew you would add Felicia’s answer on there.

[@ericzubyk2329]

10,104

[@Ouisija]

BJ deffo tried to throw this

[@DValedof]

Just curious why you felt the need to add the disclaimer “that this is all in good fun” ?

[@Ethanimale]

Because I try not to make content that says “wow look how stupid these people are” - but when making a video about ridiculous answers, i felt it might have come across that way, so putting a little disclaimer in there made me feel better about it

[@staceynainlab888]

Felicia beginning her math with 60x60 is weird. she was trying to calculate minutes in a week. 60x60 is the logical place to start if you're trying to calculate seconds, it gives you the number of seconds in an hour. she either had a brainfart and thought they were calculating seconds or had a brainfart and thought there were 60 hours in a day. the way to calculate minutes in a week is 60 minutes times 24 hours times 7 days, and then subtract an hour or two so you don't go over

[@noraofthefuture]

She actually said on the feeds that she misheard and thought they were asking for seconds and not minutes. It’s hilarious knowing both Felicia and Bowie misunderstood the question but in extremely opposite ways

[@tails512]

Price is right rules are so incredibly stupid.

[@dildiwildi5536]

17:28 Steve is great but to be completely honest I like Vanessa more than him so I wish he got his answer wrong so Vanessa could have won, no offence

[@patriciataylor7525]

Your thumb nail is wrong the question had nothing to do with hours it had to do with minutes

[@amyleeglassner]

Oh My Goodness! I am seriously obsessed with your videos!! So fun! I laughed so much! These are some amazingly terrible memories for many of these houseguests! 🤣🤣🫶🏼
