Justice for Jack he played a much better game than raven, Jack would have won if he would have made it to the end versus anyone in the endgame

[@cameronmacmillan1849]

y'all should've let lawon go to the battle back just to finally give him his special power lol

[@diaryroompodcast]

😂😂

[@Daddyoh94]

The word for Amanda Zuckerman is _ABRASIVE_ Raven is definitely a member of *JENSA*

[@WypsotorNyloff]

Kind of ridiculous that 1. nobody remembers BB4 and BB5 (because nobody actually watched them) and 2. one of the clear worst players advances against one of the more active and clever strategists of their season. Justice for pervert Jack

[@ExclusivelyPod]

I watched them live! But that was 21 years ago! lol

[@WypsotorNyloff]

@@ExclusivelyPod It's so rusty in peoples minds it makes me sad! I know not everyone's a fan of the slower pace but I personally love it and enjoy the aesthetic. Seasons 2 thru 5 are the best seasons of the show.

[@ryanmerrett9320]

If the guest is okay with it I feel like a good way to do it would be to ask guests with full range on seasons to do mainly older seasons that way you get them out of the way with people who know the older seasons

[@mandyscanlon1434]

Great idea! And their favorite season if its more recent.

[@timothystrathman9227]

Lawon a game changer with how everyone in 26 is volunteering for the block

[@minnoba]

Listened to this on my walk today, loved it!! Sharon is a true fan, love her coverage so much. Her Dr. Will interview is my fave

[@ExclusivelyPod]

thank you!! :)

[@meesh11p]

LOVE Sharon. Great podcast

[@ExclusivelyPod]

🥰

[@meowshell]

Raven advancing over Jack is wild! I actually really liked Jack back in the day and was always disappointed that he wasn't brought back. I feel like he could have a really good chance at winning. Raven, however, I don't think would ever be able to get a jury vote and in most seasons goes out earlier than she did in BB19. Justice for Jack!

[@gamertdrp6489]

Now that It was mentioned, I actually need Sharon to get raven on her podcast lmao 😂

[@katedgreat]

On the 3rd pairing I liked Jack... he was a good ally for Erika when Robert wasn't. I think Raven had very very little agency plus she was annoying that is why we remember her; Jack had a pretty big influence on how the people in the house acted.

[@ryanmerrett9320]

@@katedgreat Jack also had a great read on the other houseguests due to being a retired FBI agent.

[@xena2shoes]

Justice for Jack!

[@lanalobley6774]

Jack has my vote.

[@julesingreen]

Jack was definitely a better player than Raven. Is this "who's the most memorable BB player?" Cuz Lawon and Raven? Wow. 😂 I mean, everyone defines best differently! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Love y'all! Fun episode once again.

[@alexhill2495]

I’m not even against Lawon winning, he was in the Regulators, he actually tried playing the game.

[@chancearmstrong475]

Hot Take: Lawon is the better player even if we don't factor in iconicness. Prior to him doing what he did, he was in a pretty good spot going into final 9. He was in with the newbies, the vets weren't going to deal with him any time soon, and there were a couple of people he probably beats at the end. His social game was solid. Indy on the other hand was basically just waiting to be picked off.

[@JNDReacts]

1:01:07 The timing of this coming out the day after the week 3 veto meeting in the BB26 house (and the day before the meeting will be in an episode) is wild!

[@BrianJohnsonxX]

I wish Amanda had a better big brother legacy because she was one of the more noticeable powerhouse big brother players in the era that wasn’t male dominated. Amanda took ahold of the game and held on to it until she was basically checkmated, and even when she was locked to get evicted somehow Elissa her arch enemy for most of the season wanted to save her last minute but sadly for Amanda she was playing with Andy. I know her reputation and BB15 reputation are horrible but I would really wanna see Amanda come back and play again but without being nasty of course. I think she could have a nice redemption style story. Lol I know I might get the side eye for this but cmon you guys gotta admit she was a force and I do think she beats McCrea in a final 2 because from week 3 the other players were already talking about not letting her run the game to the end.

[@ryanmeneo6301]

Raven walton is a delusional icon

[@taylorallen8262]

Raven is the best player of all time!

[@ryanmerrett9320]

Other than Jacob Heald of course

[@tylerparks7694]

even you don’t believe that. be fr rn

[@taylorallen8262]

@@tylerparks7694 if you ask Matt W Liguori he knows in my heart I fully believe that!

[@JNDReacts]

20:00 Jessica Milagros’s HoH week, where she also won veto and guaranteed one of the two most toxic men in the cast would be evicted, was a bright spot! Also Kat was pretty entertaining. But yeah, that’s about it. There were some funny moments, but as far as the cast, half of the likable people went out pre-jury (David, Ovi, Kemi). Cliff was pretty rootable until he convinced Nicole to keep Holly over Tommy at the final 5.

[@JNDReacts]

16:35 This is especially funny since, based on the thumbnail and some of the other comments, I’m guessing the other half of Matt Clines’s grossmance is popping up at some point this episode.

[@craigyargeau814]

Ooof. Not a huge fan of the shift this episode. I really think it should be who's the "best big brother player" not who's the best for TV or who's the most memorable. I really think you need to consider shifting gears back to that line of thought. Like using the argument for Kayser is one thing, but for Raven and Lawon? Come on... Justice for Jack. I think the discussion actually become more boring if its just who is more memorable.

[@jennalee523]

I mean at the end of the day, it’s their podcast, so they get to decide what the criteria is for moving forward.

[@JNDReacts]

Can’t believe we got someone from each of the 3 infamously worst casts!

[@TaylorHudson-e1q]

Amanda Zuckerman could be a great player.
