Most Impactful Games of Big Brother
By most impactful I mean the games of Big Brother that had an impact on the meta and the games eventual evolution. I'm also going to include games that I foretell will have a major impact on the BB meta. Not a ranking but based on chronology
Will Kirby and Nicole Schaffrich (BB2) - No explanation needed
Danielle Reyes (BB3) - No explanation needed
Will Kirby (BB7)
Established arguably the most socially manipulative game of BB upto that time and had an impact on the meta with eventual copycats and people inspired by the gameplay
Dan Gheesling (BB10) - No explanation needed
Hayden Moss (BB12)
Showcase of how strong and secret allainces can dominate a game
The Parachute strategy (mostly through Lane but...)
- Dan Gheesling (BB14)
Arguably the most flashy and resume heavy game of BB to that time.
Return of 'bitter juries'and reinstated the importance of jury management
Similar to Wills BB7 game created a legend that many players would attempt to replicat and notarised the greatest player of BB to current date
- Derrick Lavasuer (BB16)
Most dominant game of BB arguably ever, which inspired many players in future games to try and replicate such dominance with onion alliances
Onion alliances became the meta of BB
Critiqued for ruining BB strategy due to dominance
- Paul Abrahamian (BB19)
Is notarised due to a lack of jury management. Especially due to the fact Paul lost twice two seasons in a row
- Tiffany Mitchell (BB23)
Repopularised the secret alliance and the parachute strategy but not for leaving the allaince but to ensure its survival until the very end
Creation of the Cookout which has now introduced some questioning whenever black players ally together or even are assumed to ally together I.e (Kyle speculation in 24 and Angela's speculation in 26 with Chelsie, Cam,Cedric, and Tkor)
- Taylor Hale (BB24)
Showcased that early game targets and pariah can have an evolution in the game and win in the end
Social Game importance and jury management highlighted
- Jag Bains ( BB25)
Showcased the necessity to get out comp beasts as soon as they reared their head (unless there is a weird twist that saves them and allows them to win HOH two week in a row)
Showcased the inequity in modern BB comps
12.Chelsie Baham & Mackenzie Manbeck (BB26)
For Chelsie and MJ I'd need to wait for BB27 to see what impact they have on the games progression and then maybe I'll separate their impact into two different games but for now their games impact I can only foresee as duo
I predict that in BB27 and onwards the unknowing comp beast will be sort for as an essential ally
People will hopefully stop putting their allies on the block as seen by the evictions of Cedric, Joseph and most importantly Leahs eviction
I also feel that with MJs decision to take Chelsie to the end, future players are going to be acutely aware of who they let into the endgame and who they take to the final 2 so as to prevent Mjs fate
Also strong social threats will be feared way more in future seasons and people who are seen as threats early on will have to really maneuver to even get into the endgame
HOUNOURABLE MENTIONS:
Rachel Reilly (BB13)
- Butchered the perception of floaters
Cody Calafoire ( BB22)
Janelle Pierzina (BB7)
Jun Song ( BB4)
What other BB games would you consider as the most impactful I'm BB history and especially to the meta of the game? Also what game do you not agree with in regards to its impactful nature?
