With the newest season of the summer's best reality show beginning in just a matter of weeks, on June 22, lets go through a few of the most iconic moments from the golden age of the show.
Note: OP didn't watch seasons 1 or 2 oop
Reading is Fundamental...and Cost Danielle $500,000 (BB3)Danielle is arguably the best female big brother in the history of the game. She effortlessly maneuvered her way through the third season with her secret alliance Jason and earned a spot in the final 2. She undoubtedly deserved to win the season, but she ultimately lost because of how pissed the other houseguests were at how she clowned them in the diary room. It was because of this robbery that producers conceived a sequestered jury house, so those voting for the ultimate winner wouldn't see any shady confessionals.
Project DNA (BB5)Expect the Unexpected was taken to the max in season 5, when some messy producers created the Project DNA twist. Not only did this entail two houseguests finding out they were secret siblings, it also led to one of the best reveals in the show's history. Unbeknownst to the house, two identical twins were playing as one houseguest for five weeks, switching in and out of the house every few days. They kept the secret for all five weeks and survived eviction, which allowed the secret twin to enter the house and play on her own. This twist was so popular that producers attempted to recreate it during BB17, though it was a flop bc the twins were stupid and nothing gets past DayVonne.
Drew Evicts Diane (BB5)Drew, the finest white boy to ever grace the show, shocked everyone when he turned on his all-male alliance mid-way through the game in favor of his budding showmance with Diane. The two dominated the game, becoming one of the first and only showmances to get to the final three. Drew then flipped the script AGAIN by eliminating Diane from the competition, choosing to take Cowboy (the last surviving member of their former all-male alliance) to the final 2. This is THE original iconic blindside in BB history. Drew went on to win the season
and later was arrested for alleged domestic violence towards another man oopEt Tu, Jennifer? (BB6)BB6 is one of the most iconic seasons of reality television ever and its difficult to pick just one moment to single out, but the biggest shock came from the betrayal of fan favorite Kaysar. To set the scene: BB6 had a split house like none other. Basically even, in terms of numbers, the Sovereign Six and the Nerd Herd (fka the Friendship Cult) faced off all season, constantly shifting from in-power to on the block. Kaysar, from the Sov 6, was elminated early in the game, but was brought back into the house by a fan vote. Immediately after, all houseguests competed in the torture cage competition, which literally just entailed holding a button. After grueling hours and hours, Kaysar was one of the last contestants standing, alongside Jennifer from the opposing alliance. He made a $500,000 mistake by trusting her, allowing her to take the Head of Household with a mutual target in mind. Jennifer immediately backstabbed him, sending him right out the door under her HoH reign. Way harsh, Jen.
Janelle and Erika Get Woke (BB7/All-Stars)After being misted by the Chilltown duo of Dr Will and Mike Boogie throughout most of the All-Stars season, problematic Queens Janelle and Erika finally realized what was up when they were in the final four. Erika evicted Dr. Will, and the two girls forged ahead, attempting to knock out the remaining Chilltown member and go to the finals together. This was foiled because of
Julie Chen's flop ass and production rigging communication issues with the rules of the final 3 HoH competition. Mike Boogie eventually won the season...
Jenius Wins HoH (BB8)imo season eight was the final truly classic season. Great drama, competent players, memorable competitions, gorgeous house design, fights every week. Just a perfect season. And one of the best houseguests was none other than Jen Johnson. Sort of villain, sort of heroine, Jen defied all character tropes she was cast to fill. Not only did she give us great T-shirts, an iconic breakdown over hating her picture, and "I will now perform eating", she was even a comp queen! Winning this HoH tie-breaker on accident because it was a trick question, Jen became the underdog to root for.
