The Best Blindsides in Big Brother History

Bet you didn't see that one coming. Blindsides are something I wish for every week, and when we get a good blindside, it reminds me of why I love the show so much. After what COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT BLINDSIDE THIS WEEK (I'm looking at you Derek F and Christian), I was in the mood to go back and watch some of my favorite blindsides from Big Brother past.
These are just eviction blindsides, not blindsides at the nomination ceremony, veto meeting, or anything else

That intro of not being Peridium haha! I don’t mind as it means double the BB content to watch

[@rurub8196]

My same reaction😂😂

[@izzyanderson3289]

Lmao

[@lindsayjohnson5672]

"America loved Dick (giggles) America loved Dick" is my favorite thing in any ethanimale video and that's saying something bc I love all ethanimale videos

[@Carrjacked]

Cliff getting evicted, then winning the battle back, THEN WINNING HOH Is truly one for the books

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

One of the few highlights of the whole ass season.

[@kleesbomb1034]

Cliff,Nicole and Kat made the season better ngl

[@monakattan6124]

@@kleesbomb1034 Kat deserved AFP. Nicole Ant was boring and annoying

[@tobechukwuokonkwo5957]

AGREED! that's Big Brother Hall of Fame right there!

[@nicholashand1507]

And he proceeded to bow to the majority alliance and evict another outsider. What a flop.

[@melonmanwill]

"my name is not Peridiam" haha still fun to have another commentary styled youtuber talk about the greatest show on television

[@markjackson6431]

Austin blindside is my favorite. from the audience screaming yes when Jonny Mac voted him out. to Julie don’t really wanting to hug him. from Steve being like good luck Austin as the only one clapping. also Dan blindsiding Danielle is a close second…

[@barbarabavier675]

What I love best about Shane's blindside is Ian pacing and mumbling, "What? What? What?"

[@reginamachamer821]

19:00 I mean.. Shane may not have had the most dramatic reaction, but Danielle's reaction was enough for the both of them 😂

[@well-dressed-bird]

I loved that Cody took Enzo. He's not good at comps, but he's a very underrated social and strategic player with a family to feed, so I was happy he was gonna bring home 50,000 this season.

[@discoelysia]

Austin's blindside makes me smile the whole way through

[@PixelmugYT]

Brett's response of "then don't" to Rockstar's "I can't even" is one of the most savage and hilarious lines ever uttered in the house.

[@jobee1]

That Nicole Franzel blindside was so satisfying. Watching her whine all season was brutal and I was ready to never watch BB again if she won again!

[@IPIRIEY]

especially because she had made pre game alliances to take her far in the game.

[@AaronCraig92]

It’s a shame BB15 is marred with the terrible actions and words of many of the houseguests. Gameplay and entertainment wise (from gameplay) it’s actually a really great season.

[@bellablondon6172]

I personally thought it was super entertaining but the racism and bullying really dragged it down for me

[@flawessgrace4604]

I’d struggle to watch a season with that much racism I just couldn’t do it. It would annoy me even more if since one of those racist assholes made it to the final 2

[@NYChica23]

I agree, and because of how bad the bullying/racism was that season, it seems to overshadow Andy''s winning game, which is a shame, because he's actually a pretty strong player. Plus the aftermath of the Nick blindside was extremely entertaining to watch play out on the feeds

[@Wetcamerainc]

also some foolishness with being tricked by andy but that stuff just makes me cringe personally

[@josesena6416]

Its sad because BB15 was ENTERTAINING and Amanda is one of the greatest villians and woman to ever play. Nobody had power like her for weeks. Unfortunately, the racism made it unbearable to watch and it's obvious CBS wants nothing to do with BB15 despite having so many great players

[@ryanherron7436]

I believe Cody already told Nicole he was evicting her during the commercial break which I think makes it that much better because I think without that we don't get the full on panic Nicole is in, Cody being so visibly upset, and Enzo trying just as hard to make sure he doesn't change his mind

[@TransparentEclipse]

Lol u and peridiam have kinda similar voices. Love both ur content!

[@Ethanimale]

Glad you like the content! I've heard people say we have similar voices but I don't see it, but that's probably because it's my voice lol

[@TransparentEclipse]

@@Ethanimale yup, that’s how it goes

[@khntou4178]

Danielle's face gets me everytime lol I would probably include on my own list the very first HOH way back in BB2 where Sheryl was evicted. It really set the precedent for the rest of the series as we saw the players going against the "rules" - a pawn going home, the targeted player escaping eviction through their own strategy, the HOH having their wishes being disobeyed.

[@sarakester7749]

“i CANNOT!” “… then don’t” easily my favorite post blindside moment ever

[@lyric2439]

I appreciate the visuals of your drive during Nicole’s eviction 😂

[@WhatAlex]

I’m by NO MEANS a Nicole stan at all… but you gotta give Nicole her credit. Loved her BB16, BB18 I liked her a little less, and in BB22 I started like her less and less, but you gotta admit… girl has got game. You may have not liked how she played, but she made it work for her, and her placements each season demonstrates that.

[@Ethanimale]

I agree that she was a good player. She might be in my top 10 players (mind you towards the bottom of that list). I just wish she’d embrace being a villain or own up to being something. If she did that I might even root for her

[@redkingdom15]

I mean, defend her all you want. She is a good player, but that is it. What are we supposed to give her credit for? She does have 11 comp wins across 3 seasons which is decent. But you cannot expect me to believe she was better than Paul. 1 bitter jury, and a slightly above average player gets half a mil and all of the glory.. Would she fit into a Top 25? Maybe, but at like 23-24.

[@Carrjacked]

@@redkingdom15 100% agree

[@zaya7256]

@@redkingdom15 I will say that the BB18 jury was bitter as fuck towards Paul.

[@WhatAlex]

@@redkingdom15 I’m giving her credit for being a good player in general. Casuals say she sucks but they just don’t see her game how super fans do.

[@craigresendes2403]

Great choices as always! Dustin and Danielle’s blindside faces are iconic, and no one can forget Marcellas being hit with the cue cards (although I don’t discredit him entirely with not using the veto as he was misted by Danielle). Obviously you didn’t include Canada here, but Jordan’s blindside in 3 is great (Zach not using the veto has to be the dumbest move in Canada’s history) as is Willow getting blindsided at the Triple-not necessarily fun as a viewer, but definitely one of the most emotional. Neda getting blindsided in Canada 5, just for the fact that she lost her immunity and then got evicted at the end of the hour; plus this was the moment that cemented Ika’s place as one of the legends of Big Brother.

[@Ethanimale]

Big Brother Canada blindsides are some of the best, the theatrics involved and the intense music (as well as the huge fan cheers at Neda's eviction) really separates them from the US blindsides

[@reginamachamer821]

Julie smacking Marcellas with the cards is one of my favorite little moments from this entire show 😂

[@davidyoung2546]

Nicoles speech while crying and mumbling is so funny lmao

[@cammyr12Productions]

Hilarious

[@ShanteeHaynes]

"I...I CANNOT!!" "...Then don't" 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@airtempest8945]

The BBCAN blindsides are crying in being iconic

[@sf9ersfan33]

Steve's "good luck Austin!" sends me EVERY time

[@DVal-bl7hm]

Unpopular opinion: Steve's "Umm, good luck Austin. *claps*" > Ian's "*huff* *puff* Wha-wha-what?"

[@DVal-bl7hm]

Also, I think Johnny Mac should've won AFP after he and Vanessa screwed over Austin like that. James probably won it only because he had kids.

[@oodoacer]

"made the mogul move" ah, I see. A man of culture

[@prettyfairyv]

The funniest thing is Julie in her monotone voice to Marcellas “First of all Marcellas, I have to do this” and whacking him on his head letting her intrusive thoughts win 🤣🤣🤣 I will never not laugh at that

[@davidyoung2546]

Haven't watched the video yet but big d robbed us of a Brent blindside.

[@Ethanimale]

absolutely factual

[@hawkthehunter]

I think the Nicole blindside was so good to so many people for so many reasons. The season thus far was so predictable and like you said, we were all starving for a blindside. I'm not a nicole hater but I understand why people wanted her to get her comeuppance. But I think most of all, what made it so satisfying was that it was a move Cody couldn't make his first season. It showed so much growth and hhe deserved to win the season.

[@cammyr12Productions]

Thanks for reminding me of the jozea blindside. That whole week was amazing tv

[@tobechukwuokonkwo5957]

Ethanimale, thank you for your insightful BB videos, especially this one at 17:00 - 17:24 - we all remember nicole's eviction! 😂

[@zaya7256]

Ian's "what...what" after shane was evicted is iconic

[@KristianYeager]

The Shane Meaney blindside will ALWAYS be my favorite! 🥳 And, Nicole Franzel’s blindside will always be an emotional one! 😭

[@jordankellison6201]

You know I've always loved Big brother but when I talk to people they have never seen it. So to see that huge of a crowd all go nuts over this it warms my heart.

[@Emperor_Fun]

Had to rewatch this after seeing this was your only demonitized video after the "America loves Dick" joke it's such a goofy moment with the giggle as well. So funny.

The way the first ever vote was a blindside. The BB2 house banded together to blindside Chilltown and keep Boogie’s target in the house.

Yo...you STOOPID!! LOL That video of the folks cheering in the bar at Nicole's elimination. I just wanna know where that is so i can go watch BB there. Oh...would you consider Vanessa's blindside one of the Greatest too? She thought she was going to be taken to the Final 2 by Steve and then he didn''t. That was SO SATISFYING!

[@quiddity131]

Regarding BB18, Frank and especially James in that season would ruin the blindsided by telling the person beforehand; you can tell Jozea has been told as he looks all sad before the vote reveal. I can’t stress enough how mad I would get during that season when time and time again James would ruin the blindside

[@dylan54945]

Brett is one of my favorite players ever. Would love to see him come back for a season.

[@jennacody2475]

nothing tops austins blindside for me, so satisfying, i remember watching it for the first time and just laughing my ass off

[@AdventuresByKyssa]

These were some EPIC blindsides and I definitely have my own top 5: 1. Shane in BB14 - what else can you say besides Dan aka the Mist? Even Julie was blindsided and couldn't do her "it's official..." spiel 2. Austin in BB17 - shoeless Judas walks out and also was sure that he was safe with Vanessa and she completely cut his throat and broke his heart. 3. Nick in BB15 - he was so sure he was safe as did the 2 racist barbies and then GM bawling her eyes out was such an epic one 4. Dustin in BB8 - the dumbest thing you can do is volunteer yourself as a pawn and act arrogant/cocky, which is exactly what he did. Whether AP (Eric) had anything to do with it & we all know he did, even Zach was turned off by Dustin's behavior in the house and I think Jen getting that slop pass from Dick helped secure her vote too 5. Jason in BB19 - what's even sadder about this is he thought his closest ally betrayed him and she didn't. At least he learned the truth about a week later in jury Honorable mentions: Rachel in BB20, Nicole in BB22

[@Mariofan2479]
