Big Brother: Difference between revisions

* [[Affably Evil]]: Dr Will so much.

* [[Arch Enemy]]: Danielle to Rachel and Brendon in Season 13, moreso Brendon because Danielle was the one who put him out. Twice.

** He was originally a houseguest during Season 10, who then came back (by ''un''popular demand) for Season 11, who ''then'' was a suggested possibly-returning houseguest for Season 13.

** As well, he's made the most amount of (consecutive) in-house seasonal appearances of any Big Brother houseguest; not only on the US edition, but over ''every'' international edition of the show. He's basically a [[First Law of Resurrection|horror movie villain; you can't kill him.]]

* [[Follow the Leader]]: Glass House in the U.S. uses a similar format to the original Big Brother season. [http://www.vulture.com/2012/05/cbs-readies-lawsuit-against-new-abc-show.html CBS did not take kindly to this].

** What's also rather funny is that roughly ''eighteen'' staff members from Big Brother US are now working on this show. One of the executive producers from Big Brother US was a former producer of Big Brother US.

** And another time, Britney is in the diary room with Brendon handcuffed to him via a veto. Brendon is talking about having to take a chum bath, and you can see Britney mouthing, "Help me". They even subtitled it.

* [[Gay Cowboy]]: Big Brother 10 (US) had Steven Daigle, a self proclaimed "gay rodeo star," who has recently gone on to gay pornography.

** James in Big Brother 9. He is constantly targeted, but then one by one, his alliance goes. Finally, he fails to win veto to remove himself and is then evicted over Sharon, nominated ''again''.

** Marcellas in season 3 who had the opportunity to get himself guaranteed safety to the final four. But he doesn't use the veto on the one time he could use it on himself and is promptly evicted, in what's seen as the original "Stupidest move in the game."

* [[Literary Allusion Title]]

* [[Live but Delayed]]: To keep excited contestants' swearing out of the mix on live eviction shows. One live episode in Season 11 had to be taped because Chima threatened to go ballistic if Russell wasn't evicted. She would be expelled from the game a few days later, but only because she damaged studio equipment by throwing a microphone into the pool.

* [[Manipulative Editing]]: A lot of the stuff that happens in the house doesn't make it to the highlights show. Even then you don't see everything unless you watch all of the live feeds. This sometimes portrays a different character.

** It can be shocking to watch the feeds and find that someone who's edited to be mouthy on the show is actually quite silent on the feeds. (Daniele, Ragan.) Or how someone who appears to be quite innocent is ''quite'' a cusser (Jeff).

* [[Media Watchdog]]: Since the beginning, but especially after Evel Dick raised hell, the racist incident(s) in Celebrity Big Brother.

* [[Moral Myopia]]: James during Big Brother: All Stars has too many examples to list, but the gist of the story is that he wanted Janelle to make the nominations that HE wanted when she was HOH in week four, and when she didn't comply, he got all pissy at her for the entirety of the game. This happened in spite of James' multiple betrayals to the Sovereigns.

** [[Non Gameplay Elimination]] is even ''less'' common in the Brazilian Big Brother, wherein there have been ''no'' ejections and only ''three'' people leaving the show out of their own free will.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Sometimes, houseguests talk about incidents and events that happened in the house but were not shown on the show.

*** Averted when Chima was ejected from the house, though - before her outbursts, we had seen her make a racist tirade that was censored and...that's just about it, outside of verbally abusing Russell. However; the houseguests mention that Chima has broken rules from day one, but we hadn't seen any of this. Cue a flashback montage of Chima doing stuff like refusing to come to the diary room when called, covering cameras with blankets, and saying that she was going to say a bunch of terrible stuff on live television.

** "Fibergate". Wherein Porsche put Fiber inside Muscle Milk. This wasn't aired on the live shows at ''all'', yet people were talking about it on fan sites.

** The UK series has most notably had: ''Big Brother's Little Brother'', a BB news fanzine; ''Big Brother's Big Mouth'', a BB public opinion/talk show; ''Big Brother Live'', live streaming from the house; and ''Diary Room Uncut'', in which notable Diary Room conversations were played in full. With the show's move to Channel 5, a new spinoff known as ''Big Brother's Bit on the Side'' exists: it functions similarly to BBLB and Big Mouth six days of the week, and on Sundays it's a quiz show.

** The US version has ''Big Brother After Dark'', a 3-hour block of live streaming from the house. Until Season 11 the US version also had ''House Calls'', which was a talk show where viewers could call in questions.

* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: When racing pundit John McCririck went into the house for ''Ultimate Big Brother'', the UK edition's finale, he openly announced that he had gotten all of his friends and family to place large bets on him being the first to be evicted, and intended to behave in such a disgusting and offensive manner that he would definitely be the first person voted out. The trope was ultimately averted; despite an internet campaign to keep him in until at least the second eviction, McCririck was indeed the first person voted out (he wasn't the first person to ''leave'', since Josie Gibson walked out the day before his eviction, but as McCririck himself pointed out, that wouldn't affect any bets on him being the first to be evicted by the public).

* [[Stopped Numbering Sequels]]: The US version stopped numbering its seasons after 10.
