This competition format was perhaps the single best I’ve ever seen on Big Brother? ICONIC. So much engaging and fascinating social maneuvering in a way we’ve never gotten. “Do I volunteer to go now, or hope to not be called?” Just endlessly fascinating and complex. Impressed by production’s decisions so far.
Losing Danielle was super tough, but I hope that doesn’t bury the fact that this was the best format for a player elimination-type competition that I have ever seen on reality television.
I love Danielle, but man it was frustrating to see her go so slow. It seemed like she already thought she was screwed, so she didn’t try her best. She was so close. Those extra seconds very well could’ve saved her.
It was so devastating to lose Danielle here tonight, but she definitely delivered during her stay and it was just so nice to see her competing on our screens again. Very glad she got to leave with the 5k. DX was such a fun elf assistant and an even more fun podcast crasher!! His stories were so entertaining 😂
These are the games and twist that need to be on the real BB house. The same repeat games and they know when to expect them and everyone voting the same this would stop it all. It would actually make the HG responsible for their own eviction perfect
Not only did this show turn out to be good, we keep getting fed with the guests on this podcast.All the usuals are great but we also got Americory and Derek X back to back?!
Bloom is spot on. Britney already told Frankie Danielle in even before X said anything. Also, she was aware that Nicole had Frankie protecting her. So why is X protecting Danielle a problem????
Thank you to Derek for spilling allllll that tea. I worry he won’t be invited to do anything like that again tho bc it’s Clear he wasn’t a great producer “puppet”. big brother producers continue to prove their incompetence..
Josh is by far head and shoulders a touch better than everyone. adapting to the format being everyones friend, this is practically the challenge bb form, really nice tbh. but josh personality mellowed out over the years which did him well.
They spoiled Britney moving on even if you weren't paying attention to how far in the episode you were (like I did). One of Britney's DR clips during her comp had her hair down and she no longer had clearly just been crying. The other weird editing thing was when they showed franzel finish the tiny comp, they kept switching between her doing it correctly and when she had it wrong earlier.
Not that you asked, but my thoughts so far: - I remember Jordan being more likeable. I think she cracked a smile once. Now Derek, on the other hand... - I can't believe I'm going to say this, but Frankie is not nearly as obnoxious as he used to be. Same for Josh. - Why was it wrong to put petite, tiny Brittany in the hamster wheel, but it was not okay to put petite Danielle in there? I would think Danielle would have had a better chance than Brittany. And I do like Danielle.
@@pawpkultureA girl’s girl doesn’t mean you can’t hug a boy. It means you work with girls in an alliance. Lol However, she always was. None of the girls wanted to work with her and ostracized her. Honestly, I think that’s why CBS made a point of having Britney say that.😊
agree w mike and sasha ab josh. Thats all i was thinking like he has been likable on reindeergames, but if you have watched the challenge he is the clumsiest person ever
X showed why you can’t be honest in big brother lolol. Poor x…he felt bad and told too much. Oh and some things never change. Britney still whines at almost 40 years old. I couldn’t handle it. I do like Britney but damn be a better sport. You know x should have just said “look how many are left Britney. Stop acting entitled. It was your turn. And without me sending you in…this beautiful win would never have happened “. You cannot keep everyone happy when it gets down to the wire like that.
She is not meant for high stress situations, she had a mental breakdown and panic attack is all. I think of her as a comedian but doesn't quite have what it takes to be a winner.
Exactly. All the women were acting entitled, except Taylor. Nicole came in to ask for a favor that he didn’t owe her. The only one who volunteered I was ready to take it like a champ
Britney is the worrrrssstttt. Sending an ally to their doom is one thing but the whiney entitled tantrum during the whole comp is just pathetic. Danielle took it like the champ she is and just showed why she is a legend.
I had a Christmas wish list and so far I have not received any of it. Lol my first 4 out on my wish list were Frankie, Nicole, Taylor and Britney all the ones I wanted in the end are gone ugh
I feel like people aren't getting the subtext in this show/episode. IMHO They have been trying to make a Cookout 2 for the entire season. Yes it hasn't been perfectly smooth in appearance because of editing but you can see it really heavy in this episode. Notice how they have tried the same strat, you have to get a player to be the "handler" for each White player. Danielle was never seriously an ally for Britney, she was there to control her. Britney was supposed to be told to let Taylor do the challenge because they were going to hand it next to Josh and eliminate him. Josh fulfills the Chaddah spot where you get a minority but never seriously ally with them. Xavier was gutted when Britney chose Danielle because it wasn't supposed to happen! This is the first time the "Groomer Strategy" failed to work for Xavier. Notice how X is allying with Frankie and Taylor will now get very very close to Nicole. Anyway I just want people to acknowledge that is what is going on lmao it doesn't have to be weird or hateful just I can tell they are majorly downplaying it on the edit so it feels Christmasy. Edit: Yes I do think that the dream was to avenge history and rig Danielle to win the show
IMHO there is absolutely no reason to assume this. All white players have worked together for nearly 22 seasons , and there have been no assumptions made. There was no need to “acknowledge” anything. No explanation has ever been needed. So let’s give them the same treatment. Merry Christmas!
If they wanted to “rig” the show g goor Danielle then they did a damn poor job of it. I think they’re quite capable of doing better than that. Do you often assign nefarious intentions to innocent Black people. You have not said one word about the white alliance of Frankie Nicole & Britney. Stop 🛑
I don’t think it’s that way, people a naturally drawn to others that have a similar background. Brittany and Nicole seem close despite the couple guys couple try’s drama. I don’t see them taking X or Taylor under their wing either. It’s like the real world, most people have close friends he same race as them. 🤷🏽♂️
Big Brother is not the only show doing some Christmas mess. Gordon Ramsey is doing a Christmas comp show. I only saw the last 10 minutes. It just didn't seem like something he would do. Santa gave her what for for swearing too much.

Reindeer Games is much better than I expected.
I agree!
I love how Derek X just pops into the middle of the show like he’s FaceTiming his buddies. No filter at all haha
Derek X had the scoop and me laughing so hard. He’d be great on The Slop. He’d actually be great anytime on anything at RHAP
Losing Danielle was super tough, but I hope that doesn’t bury the fact that this was the best format for a player elimination-type competition that I have ever seen on reality television.
Would love to see her on The Traitors
@@msnandimarie7023Would love to see that show on NBC instead of Peacock. 😢
@@msnandimarie7023She’s going to be! Confirmed today!
Please bring Derek X back for next podcast too.
Please bring Derek X for every podcast!!!
That was the best episode of Big Brother in years…YEARS
Lol decade
facts. that was insanely good.
I love Danielle, but man it was frustrating to see her go so slow. It seemed like she already thought she was screwed, so she didn’t try her best. She was so close. Those extra seconds very well could’ve saved her.
Her walking over to the wheel at the start and wasting precious seconds hurt to watch
@@brady3319 took her 4-5 seconds to get to the wheel. brutal
RHAP is slaying it with the reindeer games recaps. Another hilarious podcast that had me laughing so hard throughout the entire show. Soooo Good!!
Derek X is so effortlessly funny, I'll never get over him not winning AFP
WELP if it wasn’t already clinched, I am obsessed with Derek X forever. This was pure gold 😂
I love him so much 😂😂😂 Claire is so blessed lol
This is a podcast I think is most important to watch the RUclips video of. The facial reactions of everyone reacting to DX are amazing.
It was so devastating to lose Danielle here tonight, but she definitely delivered during her stay and it was just so nice to see her competing on our screens again. Very glad she got to leave with the 5k. DX was such a fun elf assistant and an even more fun podcast crasher!! His stories were so entertaining 😂
I did not expect to CRY or feel any kind of emotions going into reindeer games but WOW this spinoff has exceeded my expectations tenfold
We need a Reidneer Games 2 and we need Derek X to be on it. With more screentime lol he's the best
Derek is hilarious! So glad he dropped in!
That was kind of dumb by Xavier to tell Brittany that. Also, reindeer games is kind of a fun show
Derek was AWESOME!!!!....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAOOOOOOOOoooooo Omg TOOOoo FUNNY!!! 😂😂😂😂
This episode 🔥🔥🔥 I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Loved it!
But also like why did B not make Taylor go? Could have gotten out a bigger threat imo
The way I was emotionally elated while simultaneously crushed from this episode of BB REINDEER GAMES!
Reindeer Games feels like a fever dream and I’m loving it
Absolutely loving Reindeer Games! CBS you have a winner here, but don’t take away the original!!
I love Derek ❤ Jordan had way more screen time so i hope we see more of him next episode!
Interesting yes she did.
I bet he’s the elf for Monday’s show. Tiffany will do Tuesday and Thursday. That gives them two shows each.
Third post-episode review that had me laughing so hard I started crying! 😂
These Reindeer games reviews are the peak of reality tv content
Omg Derek X on the podcast was the cherry on top of a great episode 3!!! I hope he’s back on the podcast next week.
If anyone wants to be mad that Danielle left they need to blame X period.
These are the games and twist that need to be on the real BB house. The same repeat games and they know when to expect them and everyone voting the same this would stop it all. It would actually make the HG responsible for their own eviction perfect
Despite Danielle leaving, this was a great episode. It had me on the edge of my seat at all times.
Britney was so inspirational. ❤
Derek X definitely left me smiling in public. 😃
Not only did this show turn out to be good, we keep getting fed with the guests on this podcast.All the usuals are great but we also got Americory and Derek X back to back?!
Thank you so much for the recap. It has been so much FUN❤🎅☃️🦌
Bloom is spot on. Britney already told Frankie Danielle in even before X said anything.
Also, she was aware that Nicole had Frankie protecting her. So why is X protecting Danielle a problem????
If anyone cares, Sasha's Hamster Wheel Story is the St. Louis City Museum
I had to miss this live. Very glad that I checked it out today. 😂
Thank you to Derek for spilling allllll that tea.
I worry he won’t be invited to do anything like that again tho bc it’s
Clear he wasn’t a great producer “puppet”. big brother producers continue to prove their incompetence..
What did he say
I can see why Production felt Derek gave Dr Will vibes 😂😂
Can we keep in mind this is a faster game then bb so they aren’t used to strategizing that fast
I didn’t look at the clock at all so I had no idea if Brit was gonna make it or not. Great stuff
Big brother squid games to me! Your choice could be good or could be fatal! Lol
Awesome reindeer games 😄
well. I sure cried during this ep
Omg Derek X was great ...quick wit...he is hilarious😂
Taran, Nicole has also not gone into a showdown (he said only taylor and Josh haven't)
Derek my face hurts from lfmo 😂
Derek thinking the Podcasts are edited 😂😂
Josh is by far head and shoulders a touch better than everyone. adapting to the format being everyones friend, this is practically the challenge bb form, really nice tbh. but josh personality mellowed out over the years which did him well.
Did X and Cody make a pact to decrease their threat level on this show? Coz it is working XD
They spoiled Britney moving on even if you weren't paying attention to how far in the episode you were (like I did). One of Britney's DR clips during her comp had her hair down and she no longer had clearly just been crying.
The other weird editing thing was when they showed franzel finish the tiny comp, they kept switching between her doing it correctly and when she had it wrong earlier.
I would love a future podcast and Cody and Paulie
I hope it's enough for them to cast her on another returnee season 🙏
Best episode of bb since dans funeral
It’s a sad day, please tell me there’s a battle back or something 😭
No. Next week is the last week.
Omg. Saha campaign worked. We have Danielle for The Traitors 3
best bb ep in years ince pots n pans in bb19
Not that you asked, but my thoughts so far:

Taylor is now a girls girl. How the tables have turned
@@pawpkultureits a joke about how in season 24 some of the girls said Taylor isnt a girls girl
@@pawpkultureA girl’s girl doesn’t mean you can’t hug a boy. It means you work with girls in an alliance. Lol
However, she always was. None of the girls wanted to work with her and ostracized her. Honestly, I think that’s why CBS made a point of having Britney say that.😊
the repeated pleading not to get put in became hard to watch
agree w mike and sasha ab josh. Thats all i was thinking like he has been likable on reindeergames, but if you have watched the challenge he is the clumsiest person ever
City Museum everything

wow LOVE derek x so funny
1:34:00 1st season should be live feeds then they pass the character test
Britney is the worrrrssstttt. Sending an ally to their doom is one thing but the whiney entitled tantrum during the whole comp is just pathetic. Danielle took it like the champ she is and just showed why she is a legend.
I agree. That was crazy. Just because Danielle was talking to X.
Totally agree
Danielle could have won though if she wasn't moving so slow!
@@jujubee6030 yeah she def was rattled
I'm glad Danielle is gone. Never cared for her. I wanted cam but sense gone now brittney, shes so funny.
Love you Rob but stop shilling for Franzel
I had a Christmas wish list and so far I have not received any of it. Lol my first 4 out on my wish list were Frankie, Nicole, Taylor and Britney all the ones I wanted in the end are gone ugh
Why were they crying like someone died. The acting was crazy bad.
