Big Brother/YMMV: Difference between revisions

*** Season 13 in general was either one of the best seasons ever when Rache realized being a complete jerk won't win her the game and got what she claimed to have deserved. Or you were suspicious at how Rachel seemed to get every single twist directly or indirectly benefitting from it, shaking your head at the [[Flanderization]] of the game into a game about competitions.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: During a discussion about his plan with Matt in the HOH room, Lane spontaneously declares that he needs some pop rocks. Cue him sitting in a chair in silence, the sound of the rocks being caught by his microphone, and Matt staring incredulously. And then:

* [[Boring but Practical]]: During the first couple weeks of the American series, you want to fly under the radar and not piss anyone off since you can be evicted because you're annoying, and you don't want to win any of the competitions unless you need to (Veto). You want to avoid winning competitions because then you get marked as a threat and can be evicted. You don't want to be on the outskirts of the house because then you'll be marked as a throwaway. You also don't want to make alliances with ''everyone'' because then they won't be able to trust you and see you as a threat. As the number of potential targets dwindles, ''then'' you want to start winning competitions so that you can ensure your safety. It works, but really, it's more interesting when people start fights in the first couple weeks.

** Not to mention, making people think they ''can'' beat you. A good part of surviving in the american version as well as more social game shows in general is making others think you're worthless, which often involves [[Obfuscating Stupidity]].

* [[Funny Moments]]:

** Big brother 6 (US):

(''to the [[Confession Cam]]'') Really, I totally did that on purpose. }}

** Big Brother 9 (US):

'''Guinea Pigs''' (Subtitled: "Sharon should go up on the block this week!" "Yeah! She's crazy!") }}

** Automated Big Brother in 2006. Pete had ''way'' too much fun playing with it (and it once "Evicted" him!), and it even broke!

** Jen's breakdown in Season 8 (US): "I shall now perform....eating."

** A [[Jump Cut]] so perfect in Season 13 it almost seems scripted.

'''Keith:''' I'm throwing the Veto and Porsche has no idea. }}
