OMG how many times have I seen Jamie Kern on QVC selling cosmetics and had NO IDEA that was Jamie from BB1??? 🤯🤯 RHAP is so educational. Can't wait for more of this series!
Love this idea. So excited to watch and participate in the polls. Also, someone sent my bf BB OTT as a google drive file. So it seems like unless you already saved it somewhere, you have to rely on the kindness of internet strangers. 😅
I’ve watched every episode of every season of Big Brother. I had to find online discussion groups since nobody in my life watched it. I followed the people in the first discussion groups from one platform to another over the years until I found RHAP.
I literally just come here coz I missed Taran and was having a taran itch😂😂 and look and behold his just prepared just the fix I needed to last me until bb27. Love it!! Can’t wait
I have watched BB since season 1 from day 1 till the end of the season . I even went on the AOL message boards to live chat about BB with other fans. I voted on the episodes and even met Brittany and Josh at Disneyland (they weren't on a date, I asked) I'm so excited you are taking on this task Taran! This is going to be great!
This is the nerdiest comment I will ever make. I really wish y’all had gone into a few things. One, big brother had a theme song. Two, Chicken George’s home town conspired to vote out Brittany because she was the house favorite. Three, Cassandra(RIP) was called a floater(in season one, pre June/Allison). The loose “alliances” between Josh, George, that one lady and Josh, QVC, and that other person. And how they weren’t even really an alliance. I also feel like it’s notable that you can see such a big shift in cast expectations. QVC chooses a one-on-one meeting with a talent agent over seeing her own mother(and is promptly voted out) because she genuinely believes this can launch her career. Something that will go through the next season where you have Will giving Nicole a pep talk about how she’s going to have her own cooking show. The idea that the first out in season one is a “trouble maker”(house perception) named Will and the winner of season two is a trouble maker(genuine fact) named Will. BB1 is boring, but on so many levels it has fascinating seeds for what came later and is often overlooked as the boring prologue(because BB2 is just a better first chapter). I think it could be edited into a really interesting hour and a half to make a cool summary video with the few highs it had for super fans to get the gist. It does have its moments. Life as we’re living today… (I love what y’all are doing and watch the podcast as often as a crazy BB person would, but I have an attachment to BB1 as part of my sunk cost brain rot from watching every episode)
This is bringing back memories. Every year at the beginning of summer, everyone in the discussion groups would moan and groan about wasting another summer watching this stupid show, but then we would spend hours hashing out every second of it. Some very interesting, educated, and high level people were in these discussions, but like me were embarrassed about it in real life. Some things never change.
Way back in the day I was told about Big Brother by a family friend and the first episode I just happened to tune into was the finale of season 1, somehow that was enough to keep me hooked and I been a diehard BB fan ever since. A few years ago I decided to bite the bullet and actually watch all of BB 1 and I barely got through it all.
I watched bb1 - bb23 in order for the 1st time right before bb24 aired, and although I remember struggling through parts of bb1, I liked it enough to continue on to bb2, and overall I’m very fond of it since it was my introduction to bb. I’m not a bb1 hipster/stan lol but I’m definitely higher on it than most bb fans, but I think if I had watched any other season beforehand my opinion would be way different.
Barfbag made a video on how to watch BB:OTT but OTT is basically edited like survivor after the fact. The live aspect is gone(besides highlights or should I say digital dallies) and it's edited like the season was pre-filmed. Basically, they made a feed-only season into a somewhat season but if you don't have feed clips is it very hard to get context likely.
apparently I really needed taran to fact check my lil essay about bb live feeds bc i'm realizing I got some stuff wrong 😭 (it's too late now it's been submitted...hopefully nobody in the program I applied to knows anything or does any research lol)
"What a trip down memory wall..." 😂
Happy to see more Taran coverage of Big Brother anytime!
Very excited for this. Nothing better than Rob and Taran
This is going to be incredible, thank you SO MUCH for this series!!
couldn't agree more! It's like RHAP always knows what we want
Wow this is such an amazing idea!! You guys truly keep up fed and happy, thank you so much!
I was just thinking earlier today about how much I missed big brother coverage. Thank you gentlemen!!
I watched season 1 in real time and really liked it. I've been obsessed ever sense.
What in the surprise drop is this?! Also, I’m not sure I’ve seen Taran’s hair this long. Let’s go.
Such a great idea for a BB podcast. Fan since Season 1 Episode 1. Thanks Taran and Rob so looking forward 🥰

I love that you guys are doing this! Great idea. I've been nostalgia baited.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this new podcast! Thank you ❤
Awesome fun, guys! I absolutely vcr'd Big Brother and Survivor for many, many years
Omg thank you for this kings
Great job! (Yes, I watched the entire season of BB1 live!)
Wisest words from Taran: “Even if you like this format for Big Brother, you don’t like Big Brother 1. You like Big Brother UK or some other version.”
I literally just come here coz I missed Taran and was having a taran itch😂😂 and look and behold his just prepared just the fix I needed to last me until bb27. Love it!! Can’t wait
Excited for this!!!
Great job Taran and Rob. I'm looking forward to this!!
This is a great idea, I can’t wait to continue to watch this. 🎉
Great idea. Thanks for all the memories. I have watched them all live.

I love this!!! Such a great idea!! Can’t wait for next Thursday! 🙂
Watched BB1 live! I survived. I’m proud.
This is a great idea! 🎉❤🎉
Oooh very here for this! Big Brother 1 especially is such a throwback.
Unfortunately my first season was 22 lol so im excited to get Taran’s Version of the rest!
My only real memory of BB1 was the episode where they had to find their pup in the backyard full of other pugs 😂
I became Pug obsessed and called them all Pugita from BB1. I now have a real one and she’s my second! Such great dogs! 🐶

I watched BB1 and haven't missed a season yet.
I didn’t start watching BB until season 9 real time.
I tried to go back and watch season 1 and I made it to one episode lol
I swear I remember that Eddie jumped in the pool to save Chiquetta

I'm digging Taran's edgy look with the hair and stubble. We hardly ever see him in the winter.
I want Eddie George and Brittany on the DVD!
What was the prize money for season 1. ???
Where's the survey?
I already love 2025!! 🎉
What's with the school photo backgrounds
apparently I really needed taran to fact check my lil essay about bb live feeds bc i'm realizing I got some stuff wrong 😭 (it's too late now it's been submitted...hopefully nobody in the program I applied to knows anything or does any research lol)
"we do not like her exotic dancing.. too exotic!"
Yoooooooooooooooooooo im elated
I watched like. maybe 2 eps of BB 1 but it was intensely boring so I stopped.
yo big brother in canada is cancelled and please sign the petiton to bring it back
Without feeds?
Love the name, but isn't this the same name as Sharon Tharp's retrospective series?
So excited for this!!!
