Big Brother 6 is the peak of the Old School Reality Show similar level to The Amazing Race 5 & Survivor: Pearl Island for all time reality show.

[@GLBizzie]

Late 90’s and early to mid 00’s was peak TV in general 😂 road rules, real World, the challenge etc. I miss those raw days. We will never see anything like this ever again

[@maxxx6970]

I personally like BB3 and 7 more than 6 when it comes to the classic era of BB (2-7) but 6 is great as well

[@kalebdunaway]

I think BB18 is the only season to have 50% poc before they made the rule to have 50% poc.

[@gundhamtanaka8202]

huh? there's only 6 POC on BB18. out of 16 house guests. that aint 50%

[@TripleBBBBB]

The bb 11 love made me smile

[@totaldramatyler4484]

Big brother 11 is so underrated. I know it gets a lot of hate, but this season was so good. People forget how great the fights were because it was in the wake of BB10 but Russell made for absolute tv gold

[@TripleBBBBB]

Agreed it's one of my personal favorites

[@RobertJahner-mi4kt]

Tbh bb 11 is my fav season! Yes it was the first one I watched fully but I honestly love both bb11 and 10 ❤

[@abelwilliams7140]

Thank you for acknowledging how good BB18 was, the cast was one of the most diverse and when it was good tv is was GOOD, but when it was bad (Davonne and Natalie weeks mainly) it was boring.

[@BrianJohnsonxX]

Big Brother 15 is the best season imo. The feeds were always firing on all cylinders and even the edited episodes were so entertaining. Andy’s move at the double eviction had me shook at the time. I’ll always defend this season

[@_reigner]

Agree. it barely makes my top 10 but it’s underrated. That season was wild lol

[@DrakeDog4]

I agree! Most entertaining season ever! I was GLUED to those feeds.

[@voodoomcspaghettipants4082]

While I do agree that this season has entertainment and extremely dynamic gameplay, it is pretty close-minded to call it the best season of all time, as it isolates and offends multiple minority groups throughout its run. The actions by Aaryn, ginamarie, and others are impossible to ignore, and makes certain stretches of the season hard to sit through and tainted despite the interesting rounds of gameplay. I agree that on paper it’s a great season, but the stranglehold that racism has on it holds it back from being anywhere near “the best season”

[@JGR4LIFE20]

If it wasn’t for most of the cast being hated that season is easily in my top 5

[@totaldramasimmer1]

I get people saying Tiffany sacrificing her game for the co but why do people act like the co made Kyland lose? Did people forget he won both f6 hoh, f6 veto, and f5 veto? He has no one but himself to blame for his eviction

[@bellablondon6172]

Not to mention Kyland had talked about how he favoured his partnership with Sarah Beth over the CO at a few points in the game 💀 (I don’t have an exact quote of this, so I could be wrong)

[@iamkonner4813]

I agree that 23 isn’t that good of a season but I can find more enjoyment out of it than some others seasons.

[@bellablondon6172]

It’s kinda like BB12 where you can see the winner coming from a mile away, but the cast is likeable enough to make things interesting

[@iamkonner4813]

@@bellablondon6172 To me it's more of how great the pre-jury phase was followed up by the incredibly boring cookout steamroll post-Derek and the awful endgame phase.

[@bigbrotherboy]

big brother 2 at 23?????????? the middle eps without veto were so much better. prod made them have house meetings every week to talk about everything that went down which resulted in so much drama. i'd much rather have that than 20 min veto comps about bathroom humor taking up the episodes.

Tbh, I enjoyed BB15 a lot, it's one of the most strategic seasons, everyone played hard and wacthing every racist houseguest get exposed on national tv and evicted was satisfiying af

[@realityrob1951]

season was broken due to the mvp twist that set course for season swaying the majority of side of house to take out the other side.

@@edugonzalez7208 it was enough for it take majority of one side of the house. elissa did nothing to earn it but get automatic votes because she was rachels sister and everyone else was unknown. she was given more power than the current hoh. so whatever side of the house she sided with screwed over the other side. truly unfair and broke the season.

[@ryanwest5179]

Video was fun! Even if I think you’re a crazy person for some placements (specifically BB2!!). Here’s my personal ranking of the seasons, excluding BB9 & BB1 as I haven’t watched them: 23. Big Brother 19 22. Big Brother 13 21. Big Brother 22 20. Big Brother 11 19. Big Brother 16 18. Big Brother 23 17. Big Brother 5 16. Big Brother 25 15. Big Brother 21 14. Big Brother 12 13. Big Brother 4 12. Big Brother 8 11. Big Brother 6 10. Big Brother 17 9. Big Brother 20 8. Big Brother 15 7. Big Brother 3 6. Big Brother 18 5. Big Brother 10 4. Big Brother 24 3. Big Brother 14 2. Big Brother 2 1. Big Brother 7 Side note: I get your reasoning for BB19 as I’ve seen a lot of people say they liked the finale. But, for me, its finale cemented it as the worst. If Paul wins, it’s probably two or three spots higher on my personal list.

[@slippinsydney]

Not gonna lie I read this list the opposite way for a second and I was scared for a minute lol

[@parthsharma9606]

BB16 was my first season watching Big Brother so it will always have a special place in my heart. I never understood why everyone rates it so unbelievably low. It was entertaining and had its fair share of cast personality and gameplay/strategy.

[@bellablondon6172]

I think what makes BB19 for me is the drama that goes down after the Mark eviction. Before that point, everyone had a common target in mind (Jessica, Cody, Elena, Mark). Now that they were all gone, they were gonna have to turn on each other

[@sovereignblastoise6767]

[@NickBrown-yf5gp]

Big brother 11 was my first season ever and hooked me for 9 straight yrs but I’ve stopped watching but thinking about starting again

[@arnavw.8275]

BB15 will always be ranked last for me. I cannot look past racism and be "entertained" by the strategy considering that so much of it socially was steeped in racial bias. That was the summer of George Zimmerman's trial and to see a black child be criminalized and a racist be found not guilty it was truly alot to see and grasp as a college student starting to understand the world and the ways in which it views black people. And to watch the one show I had watched from the beginning as a form of escapism, socialization and comfort display such disgusting behavior seemingly unchecked was disturbing. It is the season that tested my patience and loyalty as a fan and I would not have continued if certain people weren't called out by Julie at the end. Everytime I think of that season or see clips I am taken back to that moment, to that feeling. It will always be bottom of the barrel for me.

[@emvent97]

Our rankings are wildly different except the top 4 which is exactly the same like that’s truly correct!

[@gundhamtanaka8202]

putting any season higher than BB15 is insane to me. The most unlikeable cast in BB history, with the most unlikeable winner in BB history.. I get that bb22 was a letdown but it was still way more enjoyable to watch than 15. Same with 2, which has the same charm as season 1 of survivor imo and deserves a higher ranking than this.

[@flying7900]

Andy is NOT the most unlikeable winner. He's kinda fun actually! Jackson on the other hand actively makes my blood boil.

[@tajneeley]

Bro stop , BB15 is a good season outside of the racism.

[@IanLemes-cc7yg]

bb21 being that high is such a choice...

[@clovesevina9763]

Bb22 has actually aged better for me lol

[@JairoD.Garcia]

BB13 is one the most iconic double eviction ever in the US Version. Not as strong as Neda Double Eviction.

[@NDeezy]

I started listing the ones I thought were insanely high (21 and 19 to start) and then I got further and realized I disagree with so many of these listings. 11 and 13 being that high is…. Wow. Should lead to some interesting discussion though.

[@melissagoodson2519]

bb 15 was so racist i put that season at 25

[@kalebdunaway]

You’ve gotta look at everything else too though. Besides the racism, it’s a pretty great season.

[@joshbeaudry7633]

You should do a ranking based on how the season played out on the live feeds (Canada included) for the ones you watched live feeds for! Would be a great video!!

[@enmanuelcruz9104]

I definitely don't agree at all with this list besides BB10 being the number 1 but again is your personal opinion and everyone gets to have their own. Thanks for making these videos it always interesting to lister to your analysis.

[@bellablondon6172]

I truly think BB25 would’ve been regarded as one of the best modern seasons with BB20, had the zombie week not happened. Everyone in the cast brought so much personality and I don’t even mind Jag as a winner. The zombie twist completely killed all the momentum for the season and the season could’ve easily done without it (and the comp equity was insanely unbalanced)

[@helenkellerstampon]

What exactly changes without zombie week? Yes it was slow but I’m like 99% sure the season plays out the exact same way

[@classicmiriam]

For me BB9 is made up of unlikable people. I can’t rewatch it. Easily a bottom five season for me and second last among the first 10 seasons. Also BB3 is criminally low at 13

[@maxofthemoor]

17:30 close your eyes and imagine he is talking about BB23. You would get the same effect so its crazy he has them so far apart from each other they're like the same season!!

[@voodoomcspaghettipants4082]

Because bb12 has significantly better characters and character moments, and while both seasons have steamrolls, the bb12 steamroll isn’t frustrating because everyone is playing self interestedly. In bb23, the more rootable characters of the cookout in tiff and hannah have their games ruined by the cookout, making the show a frustrating watch. Hayden winning, while predictable, was satisfying, because he played an all time great game and earned the win. Xavier’s win, while equally as predictable, was so disappointing, as he won despite massive delusions about his game, playing significantly worse than others in his alliance, and did not earn the win

[@princesspid9471]

Only thing in this ranking I really don't understand is how your main reasoning for putting a lot of seasons very low is 1) icky season with a lot of nasty stuff happening and 2) bad cast/lots of nasty contestants, yet you rank BB9 so much higher than the rest...? I understand personal taste and personally got a lot of enjoyment out of watching BB9 myself even if the general consensus is that it's a bad season, but I'm smelling a good bit of hypocrisy here.

[@Sakuraa3398]

I’ll always feel like BB24 is a high tier season it wasn’t a player/alliance steam rolling and every week something crazy happened that changed the trajectory of the game. Also the ending was very very satisfying.

[@ethancort2213]

My problem with people saying BB24 is bad because of the Taylor hate in the first few weeks is they completely ignore how everyone in the older seasons was regularly throwing around slurs and sometimes even things like death threats in BB8's case

[@WilsonReviews]

The problem with bb24 is that you can very much tell that no one is having fun, which makes for such a soul draining viewing experience

[@djcork2012]

I agree with BB18. Not sure why there is so much hate.

[@gundhamtanaka8202]

BB18 is hated bc of the pregaming that happened with Nicole, James, and Paulie to get Venessa out. When it turned out it was Venessa's sister, they just treated her like they were the same people. Plus Nicole is just a shitty person so her winning instead of Paul, who played an amazing game, just ruins the whole season. Had some interesting moments, sure, but I'd still rank it in bottom 5 seasons
