Big Brother Season Rankings- #19

These rulings are based off of my opinion of game play, entertainment, and cast. Here are my rankings of worst to best seasons of Big Brother US. 

#19. Season: 16- AKA Derrick Dominates


Game Play: It is hard to rate this season as a whole on game play since Derrick was the only one to actually play the game this year. Every game move that was made this season benefited Derrick. This happened all the way up to Cody selecting who he was taking with him to the final 2. I also still don't understand how Frankie could let Derrick convince him to put up Zach over himself when Frankie won HOH in the top 8. Frankie had an alliance with Zack pretty much the entire game and I think if it came down to it Zack would have stayed loyal to Frankie longer. Derrick never was on the block the entire season and Frankie even realized how good Derrick was playing. He had to choose either Zack or Derrick to go up on the block and still to this day I can't understand Frankie's decision. If Frankie put up Derrick that week it would have been him and Cody on the block and impossible for them to be f2. It was so frustrating to watch!




Entertainment: Similar to season 19, the entire season is controlled by one person. He goes the entire season without every being put on the block. None of the other players were even in Derrick's league. Also the Battle of the Block twist was the worst twist in Big Brother history. The most entertaining thing that happened all season was when Frankie found out that not only did he not win America's Favorite Player, but he wasn't even in the top 3. The look on his face was priceless.




Cast: In college football they have different divisions so that it is fair for teams to play against opponents that they can compete with. I think Big Brother might need to consider doing the same after this season. It was almost not fair watching the other houseguests just get steamrolled every week. None of them knew what they were doing or how to use strategy correctly to make moves that were best for themselves. Victoria is a great example of this and her favorite Big Brother cast member sums it up perfectly.




Overall: Was Derrick really good or was everyone else just really bad? It is debatable.

Big Brother Season Rankings- #20 (The Worst)

These rulings are based off of my opinion of game play, entertainment, and cast. Here are my rankings of worst to best seasons of Big Brother US. Let's start off with the worst:

#20. Season: 19- AKA Paul's Minions




Game Play: Paul controlled almost every aspect of this season's game and didn't allow anyone else to play which made it by far the worst season in Big Brother US history.



Entertainment: The season starts out entertaining and had moments like when they are making fun of Raven, Christmas' Zing, and Jody trying to play the game against Paul. However, Paul manages to take all the fun and enjoyment out of watching this season. Like when he forced every single person to throw an HOH competition that involved running in a race and if he saw them trying to play, he threatened to put the target on them. Instead of any of them questioning his motives, they all just go along with it. Paul does this so he can have the houseguest with a broken foot win the racing comp.. that involved running. He had a true alliance with her since he thought she was a weak player and could easily be beat in the end.

Who likes to watch someone control everyone to the point where they aren't even allowed to play the game? I would compare the majority of this season to watching a basketball game that has only one team playing and you just watch them throw a ball into a hoop over and over again. Everything is extremely predictable and goes exactly according to plan every week. So Boring!



Cast: Either they have never seen the show before or didn't understand how to play but the majority of this cast just blindly follows Paul. He had them throwing challenges, fighting his battles, and even demanding that they didn't talk game with anyone but him. There was one night where Paul tells Kevin that he had to stay in bed and he was not allowed to get out of it or talk to anyone. If he saw Kevin get up from the bed or have a conversation with anyone but him, he would make Kevin the next target. Instead of Kevin questioning Paul, he agrees and stays in bed for pretty much the entire week not talking to anyone but Paul about the game.



Overall: Boring. Predictable. Uneventful. If you enjoy watching someone play a game and forcing all their opponents to not even try to compete against them, then you will love this season!
