As the title suggests, I'm not really a fan of this rule and don't really understand the purpose of it.

For example, if a tiebreaker question was "How many tiles are on the bathroom floor" (i know it's absurd but please work with me here" and the answer that question was "780". If somebody wrote down "800" and another person wrote "234"...the person who wrote down "234" would win the competition even though they were further off. To me, this just seems kind of unfair. Somebody could've paid better attention with counting while just being a little off the mark, but the person furthest away would get rewarded. Does anyone else agree with what I'm saying...and why exactly does this rule exist?

seriously....why do they ask the same generic questions in the same robotic tone? i understand that the show is live but why do it like that? especially the "why do you deserve to win question"...isn't the whole point of the speeches and jury questioning to explain that lol

I started watching in high school during Big Brother 18, loved the game and strategy aspects so I went back and watched every season from S2 on, then watched BBCAN when I became aware of it. For the longest time I was a superfan, watched the feeds, all the podcasts, posted on here from several accounts over the years.

After Allstars 2 I got really upset at Tyler throwing the game away and realized I was into the show/game at an unhealthy level. I was genuinely angry at him for "ruining" the season by giving up. So anyway lots of factors contributed to me no longer watching the show, but being that I was basically addicted I came back for S23 and it was so incredibly boring/predictable that it was enough for me to ACTUALLY stop watching. I love the game but hate the show and the production decisions.

So anyway I took a break and came back a few years ago for BBCAN10 (One of the best seasons ever, thank God) and I was back into it excited for BBCAN11 which was slated to start soon. I figured I'd just only watch the Canadian version, then of course there was the announcement about the feeds not continuing, which killed any interest I had in the show, so I went back to not watching any Big Brother.

I've mostly just been watching The Challenge for reality t.v competition because I lost interest in Survivor after Winners at War. But anyway I decided to give it another shot and just finished watching season 1 of Australian Survivor, and I think I have the reality t.v competition bug back.

So anyway my question for the sub is whether it's worth it to go back and watch the seasons I missed. I'm pretty much unspoiled on everything from S24-current, BBCAN11-current, and Survivor up till the end of 40. No spoilers just curious if you could guys could rank the seasons I haven't seen yet, as well as how the winners stack up, without spoiling names of course. I just want to know if it's worth the time to go back.

I have ambitions to be a houseguest and win the game one day. I'm considering applying now that I'm a little older and in a better place to potentially win (I sent in a tape when I turned 21 and didn't hear anything back obviously lmao). So I'm just curious what the current meta/zeitgeist is right now and if it's still possible to win the U.S version by playing a Machiavellian game? I sort of have an itch to apply again, just wondering if things have changed drastically the last few seasons. Obviously I'm going to do my homework if I ended up getting anywhere in the casting process, but ya. Thanks.

So I understand that Eric had to go through with America's Vote, how he had sway over Jessica, and how Zach made sense as a vote for Dick.

But why did Dustin and Amber vote for Dick over Danielle? Comp-wise Danielle trounced Dick overall. People got frustrated with her but Dick was also overtly awful to the two of them.

Cody Calafiore (BB16 and BB22)

  OR

Will Kirby (BB2 and BB7)

Which player is more impressive socially, strategically, and their ingenuity and creativity?

Which player does better on their third return?

BONUS QUESTION: Which player do you think benefited more from their cast ( makeup of the people on their All Star season) and pregaming?

Rewatching BB14 and I noticed Dan gives a shout out to his wife. Was this the birth of the voting shoutout?
