I was SO disappointed with Sam's weird HOH dictatorship :///// she was my absolute favorite and top pick to win up until that point and I felt so betrayed lol
To me it wasn’t that bad lol and Haleigh was already targeting her literally every week she would tell the hoh to put up Sam and that was before Sams hoh
@@marcusmelancon3426 hayleigh’s alliance had no power so it really didn’t matter who she was targeting. Slut shaming is always bad and has nothing to do with the game so it was a really slimy move imo especially because Hailegh and Kaitlin were playing the game so to say their only game is manipulating the guys in the house was just outright not true
Same I hated that so much. I loved Sam before that. I mean I don't think she's evil I think she's just kind of oldschool and.. I don't want to say sheltered but like.. idk I just think it was more ignorance than evilness. But still I felt so bad for both of those girls.
My biggest issue with Hisam is that he absolutely berrated Reilly for telling him that she saw him as a threat. He talked down to her and treated her like she committed some sort of cardinal sin. Then he gets HoH and what does he do? He stands in front of the whole house and does exactly what he belittled Reilly for doing privately. He's a massive hypocrite and I can't wait to see him gone.
Hypocrisy is too common on Big Brother. Frank, Rachel, Jerry from bb10, Shredder, Janelle, the list goes on. It’s unfortunately also the case in Survivor.
I honestly was so fed up with him by week 2 and was ready to not watch if someone didn’t gun for him in the subsequent weeks. He’s cocky, arrogant, and thought he was playing a bulletproof game meanwhile his game had so many holes I could strain pasta with it.
I find it really funny how Sam was so adamant about not having her nominations be influenced, yet backed out of her last nomination the moment she was asked not to
That veto meeting in bb16 was one of the best veto meetings I’ve seen. The roll the dice veto where Devin got picked and he lost and everyone cheering. omg loved that season.
I don’t understand the concept of still sucking up to the HOH after the veto meeting. They’re literally the least powerful person in the game after that point. I can understand voting with the house, not voting for the HOH.
I think it's harder in the early game to do that when people are generally finding easy targets and will target people for the smallest things as the easiest way out. Trying to flip the game so early is a very easy way to be sent home if it doesn't work out, so usually not worth the risk. Flips tend to happen towards the mid-game when threats are more recognized.
HOHs don't have a vote after veto, but usually HOHs DO have alliance deals by virtue of their position, and their allies often want to "respect the HOH" by making sure their target goes, so as to keep them as an ally. First week HOHs especially tend to be aligned with, and have lots of influence over, about half the house. Sucking up or campaigning to the HOH post veto isn't really about the HOH as much as it's about trying to get them to sway their allies towards your preferred target of the two. HOH can also be the tie breaker vote, which is important on split house seasons like BB20. Take this season for example. Sucking up to Reilly after the veto had already been played may seem pointless, but ultimately Reilly was going to be the decider of who went home. If Kirsten had sucked up more, or Felicia had sucked up less, Reilly could've EASILY had her allies flip the vote. By being 1st HOH (especially) you become a "leader" in the subconscious of your allies and they are often inclined to just go with whatever you say. Reilly's allies were very much that way. You also see that to an extent with Tyler BB20.
When people rush to flip the votes early in the game, its usually viewed by the other players as overplaying way to fast and hard... especially if your campaigning for it harder then those on the block themselves, it just becomes alarming behavior being so eager to flip the house it truly can be just as damaging of a game move as a super controlling HOH. Arguably the worst thing you can do is get on the bad side of a eventual comp beast, you never know how clutch a players gonna be during comps, so until they walk out that door for good, you gotta be extremely cautious of who and when you betray someone in the game... Bottom-line flipping the house Is a high risk game move that if it doesnt work can make you an easy and logical target for the next HOH to take out.
Chima was out next anyway. Even if Russell goes, Michele wins the next HOH, and Michele and Chima did not get along at all. Unless it's Chima V Jessie, there's no way Chima doesn't go next anyway, which is why I'm not as sore on it as other people.
I've never quite seen somone who caused such a 180 spin on their Big Brother audience reception quite like Sam did lol. I'm still not totally sure what was going on with her on the show, but she's the only one in recent seasons to make such a huge effort to dissapear from the face of the earth.
That's not even going into the fact, she threatened to curb stomp, the one person who stood up for her in Week 1 during the robot twist (Tyler) I know she didn't name him but it's clear who she was talking about, mentioning in graphic detail what a curb stomp was. That was some Jackson Michie levels of crude. And she didn't even give Tyler her vote after all he did for her! Do I think Tyler should have won over Kaycee? Maybe not but to literally be decided by one vote...

I genuinely think this is how Devin’s audition went (or if he was recruited, how they found him): Devin: What would I do in the house? Well I think I would go solo.

Hisam’s is made so funny by him reflecting on Riley saying “I used my HOH in a way that didn’t rub people in the wrong way, and I’m very happy about that” (roughly quoted)
Omg I was dying over that 😂 I actually just finally watched that episode last night.. I usually try to wait a few weeks before I start watching so I can just watch episode after episode for a while, I think I'm on episode 10 or 11, but yeah omg he has the funniest drs he is so entertaining. Tbh I could've watched that Reilly vs. Hisam feud all season lmao
What's funny is that Adria was easily the most effective out of all of these players at executing her plans, but her plans were the most outrageous. Sam, Bailey, and Hisam actually picked decent targets, but handled their execution terribly. Adria planned out exactly what she wanted to do and took complete control of the week, but all it was ever going to do was put the target on her back for literally no reason.
@@Machinu5Yeah. Nothing wrong with putting Will and especially Marvin on the block from her perspective but her being so awful and rather discriminatory and hearing her reasons is so icky. That alliance had to take out Drew and one of the ladies - probably Nakomis or Diane with Marvin and Karen as sleepers - win. And that was the time to do it. Too bad Adria had to basically destroy her entire’s alliance game for no reason. Drew should NOT have gotten to the finals the way he did. Such a huge choke.
I feel like everyone went along with Adria to make it a tie because they wanted her to look even worse since she betrayed/screwed/pissed them all off. Marvin and Will however got her good, they both blasted her very deservedly and I respected the fuck out of both of them for it.
I don’t know if this counts, but Aaryn’s Week 2 HOH in BB15 pretty much from the get go had some HOH-itis in its veins. She was cornering the entire house asking them to raise their hands if they voted out David. And then the whole week she was acting rude to other houseguests for being lied to, taking the game more personally than it had to be. She was dead set on Elissa and that also backfired.
@@fiannez9051still doesn’t excuse her behavior and the biggest irony is that Elissa the person she had tried to get out week 1, was the person that ultimately got her out of the house even if she wasn’t the intended target.
You forgot Sam so unnecessarily SCREAMING at Tyler (one of her closest allies) to drop out of the HOH competition 😂😂 Bayleigh was WAYYYY worse than Sam though!!
She was screaming because of the comp wasn’t just screaming at him just to be screaming I think she would’ve beaten him anyway to me her week wasn’t that bad she put up two people one of them was already targeting her and she came out of her week without a target
Would love to see a video of the 5-10 worst HOH weeks of all time. Doesn’t matter when they were but people who just completely ruined or threw the game
DEVIN's HoH reign was the craziest and most chaotic. Dude was all over the place, totally oblivious, and seemed like he was on something from the very beginning. Bayleigh was really disappointing for me. She came in with a really strong understanding of how the game is to be played. She even spoke to her man about staying level-headed and in control of his emotions when he was HoH. Then he left, and it was as if she went downhill from there. Confessing to her enemy that she had that power and thinking she wouldn't tell anyone was idiotic. Bayleigh played herself to the point where it was maddening. As for Hisam, you would think by now, people would understand how to conduct themselves in the house, especially as HoH, but Hisam was oblivious. I was glad he got booted.
I just wanted to say I really love that your videos usually always mix well with what’s going on in big brother either recently or right now. It’s really cool watching big brother and being like “is Ethan gonna make a video on that?”
I remember Devin HOH reign being what help me and mom get into big brother because how crazy it was! Devin did help us get into big brother! Big Brother 16 was the first season I watch from start to finish!
I'd like to throw out a BIG mention to both Kent and Chiara, BB2 and BB3 respectively. Kent, of course, went on a MASSIVE power trip that led to him being evicted the next week. Chiara, after being blindsided the previous week, came up with the brilliant plan of nominating one of her only two remaining allies as a target, and her showmance as the pawn next to him, which is one of the most genuinely baffling ideas for noms ever. Luckily for her Roddy manages to get the votes to stay, but she's SUCH an easy vote the very next week
Adria was totally ridiculous. I sort of understood nominating Marvin who had been sort of with the guys....but targeting will as well? Then to refer to marvin as a "whooped minority"? WTF. I loved when marvin called her out for putting the 2 of them and Will blasting her as he walked out of the door. God told her to do it.....well bless your heart. God also told everyone else to kick you out right after LOL
I think one of the best HOH-itis is Natalie in bb11, yes, it was towards the end of the game so nothing really big happened, but it still entertaining. Her doing the noms in her bathrobe with a plastic crown and sunglasses, her Pandora's Box "final 2 reversal" lie
i like and appreciate the bit you add at the end of the videos about not harassing people over a game show. the people who would do something like that, it will likely go in one ear and out the other. but some people might hear it and think differently, and change how they view things. positive vibes
Hisam's veto speech really rubbed me the wrong way. The way he singled out Reilly was completely unkind. It makes me feel bad, she doesn't deserve it. I really wanted to give her a hug
Where is Jee? His second HoH in BB4 saw him a) win HoH b) put the rest of the House on food restriction *for the rest of the season* in order to win the Veto c) win a McDonald's-sponsored "you get our food all week long" competition even though (as HoH) he was *already* the only person in the house eating. Ain't nothing endears you to the other HGs like visibly eating "prize" food while they're all on PB&J Then he tried to force the vote so that Jack would stay, and failed. Out the next week, naturally, when nobody had been targeting him coming into that week. I refer to this as "Jee, Your Hair Smells Terrific…but your HoH smelled like ass." Shocked this wasn't #1
I'm surprised aaryan gries hoh isn't in the video, it was the meanest most power hungry week I've ever seen in the game. She immediately started screaming at the house for voting her bf out and made all the suspected voters have nots and then went on a witch hunt to find every voter. It was absolutely disgusting
Back in the day I remember some fans saying Diane was the reason Adria nominated Will, although Diane then professed to be angry and shocked over his nomination. Diane ran a lot of the game that season, so that would make sense. The whole thing felt extremely disorienting at the time as I wasn't following closely enough and was just going with the TV edits. I never had any idea Adria was the person we saw that HOH week. There's also the rawness which BB still had up to about season 8 or 9 which made you feel more emotionally involved. Devin's HOH was just pure entertainment. I still remember the "Devin has a daughter" jokes.
I hated week five of Big Brother 20! Good lord was she horrible in that week! I would like shut up and just played a game without trying to be hateful and rude to everybody! My mom was like she going home this week is fine and she did going home the next week! She got herself to jury!
I just realized, if you count Sam as a member of FOUTTE almost every member of that alliance who won that power went on a power trip when they won HoH, including Fessy who was extremely overprotective of Haleigh. Honestly, this whole list could be BB20 HOH reigns. That’s how crazy it was but I loved it.
Imagine if there was a twist where for the first week, Bayleigh, Devin, and Hisam were all co-HOHs together and for the following week, Frenchie, Adria, and Sam were co HOH's together for the second week. To balance out the power, they all have to play that none of them can compete for HOH during both weeks three and four and their only shot for safety is the veto.
I’m surprised not many people are talking about how it is Jared’s fault that Reilly left the house, he could have sent her to the Nether and made her safe for the week and instead chose Jag for no reason
In Adria’s defense, Karen and Will were targeting her and Adria had strong relationships with Drew and Cowboy so it made sense for her to target Will she just did it in the completely wrong way
Also, Will was a toxic personality. She just worn down by what she perceived as a lack of support that she "volunteered" to break the tie and take ALL the heat, but that was a step too far.
At some point I decided that Hisam's plethora of faces he makes reminded me of Tigger and frankly I think he looks a little like a Human Tigger. It made his reign of error so much more fun.
You don't want hoh in the first week. And you dont want hoh in in the second week either. 3rd hoh is the best week because you can easily assess who will be against you and who will be an allie. And you certainly dont want to be an hoh with no clear target.
@@Hahsggsg I said you want want first hoh not that it was bad. First hoh is so crucial to balancing becoming the second evicted house guest which we've seen time and time again and setting yourself up to be positioned well in the game. It is super difficult not to become a target for next week's target. That's why we see so many people drop out the the first hoh competition saying they don't want to win. Less eyes on you in the first three weeks the better.
I’m curious to see how many players have been evicted the week after their Hoh reign. Sometimes winning a comp can be the nail in the coffin for a certain players
Sam got lucky she was on BB20 lol. She was in the season with the worst alliance ever created and she was on the side that was dominating. She at least made top 5 so there’s that for her
The most important thing that the HOH, and the House, need to remember, is that the HOH is not in power the following week! HOHes, don't make yourself a target! To the rest of the House, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY SAY!
Professors be like “let’s take out our only CompBeast because he’s acting like a dictator even tho the other side of the house could do it for us whenever we wanted them to.”
ugh.... I couldn't stand bayleigh.... she was rude and thought she was better than everyone else and the way she spoke to a lot of the houseguests made me so angry! I wouldn't care if she was HoH, she wouldn't speak to me that way!!!
basically all the girls are drilling over him he was so sunshine smart n cool but now he's been drained by the best in da house, Angela lol @@thefoxoflaurels3437
@@Hahsggsg No Bayleigh had legitimate reasons to wanna go after Tyler. But…it’s Tyler. Someone who looks like that giving you attention is going to make you feel special. Even if you aren’t necessarily attracted to men.
Haha, now that you broke Sam’s HOH down like that, it’s funny how even though the bonus life was one of the most overpowered twists, it ended up not only being useless for Sam but actively a detriment to her game. I don’t understand why she wanted to win that HOH so bad, because she knew whoever she nominated and sent home would immediately have a good chance of coming back, and then get IMMUNITY the next week if they do. Even if she handled her reign beautifully it would’ve been one of the worst weeks to win HOH, because no matter who you target they’d likely be safe and then gun for you, and you know you still have a good chance to be safe even if you’re literally evicted that week, so the stakes are way lower to try to even win safety. I guess somehow by Kaitlin’s miraculous failure Sam managed to still send someone home, but the chances of that happening were shockingly low and she still wanted to risk it.. why?? 😭 That’s really one of the few times winning HOH actively screws you over regardless of how you play it. At best you have like a 10% chance of achieving anything, you’re most likely to send no one home and have a useless reign, and at worst you actively make multiple people heavily target you who all survive the week. And the one you evicted is guaranteed to survive the NEXT week as well if they succeed, and she knew all this going into it and still wanted to win??? I don’t get it
@@shannondonnelly8761 right lmao?? Like even if one of her allies didn’t win and she or one of them ended up being evicted, I bet they would’ve breezed through that puzzle and ended up with safety the next week, in a better spot then just having been safe that week. Basically anyone other than Kaitlyn probably would’ve ended up coming back lmao, Sam even could’ve talked to her alliance and made a plan to like intentionally throw the Hoh and evict an ally to give them safety the next week and trick an enemy into getting a lot of blood on their hands with no reward, but I guess they didn’t know how easy that puzzle was gonna be
She wanted it that week because it was a comp she knew she could win so she probably thought this was one of the few chances she could get a win and she wanted her letter they had been there a month at that point and she probably thought whatever the comp was they would fail
@@marcusmelancon3426 ok…. But a letter from home shouldn’t be more important to her than winning the game so maybe she could have thought of the long run? Your argument makes no sense. They all want letters from home, but Big Brother is about strategizing so getting a letter shouldn’t be their top priority
Big Brother is such a great window into things like that shitty boss you've got. Give people power, and some will just freak the f out, others it doesn't impact them in the slightest. Hisam might be the most self-important individual I've ever seen.
I have not seen everything with BB but man Hisam went too hard too fast. His speech was too much. Felicia's speech to him at the veto meeting to put him up was perfection and sweet poetic justice. I hope he goes home
Ethanimale, I'm quite scared that you have a severe case of Video Idea Neglectitis, when you refuse a loyal fan's video idea which they have been commenting for over years. I now diagnose you with only another video until the sickness strengthens and the only way to cure yourself is by ranking every single BB eviction in history.
yeah honestly watching Sam's HOH speech made her go from my favorite of the season, to ohhhh she sucks and hates women for some reason? if a woman said to my face that i was the opposite of female empowerment i would start swinging...
The BEST thing that could happen to S25 is bringing Hisam back with a special power to keep him there for at least a few weeks more. Would love to see him win a battle back.

I usually try to wait a few weeks before I start watching so I can just watch episode after episode for a while, I think I'm on episode 10 or 11, but yeah omg he has the funniest drs he is so entertaining. Tbh I could've watched that Reilly vs. Hisam feud all season lmao
What's funny is that Adria was easily the most effective out of all of these players at executing her plans, but her plans were the most outrageous. Sam, Bailey, and Hisam actually picked decent targets, but handled their execution terribly. Adria planned out exactly what she wanted to do and took complete control of the week, but all it was ever going to do was put the target on her back for literally no reason.
Keeping in mind that Marvin was acting like "a big whopped minority." Perhaps this helps to understand her planning?
@@Machinu5Yeah. Nothing wrong with putting Will and especially Marvin on the block from her perspective but her being so awful and rather discriminatory and hearing her reasons is so icky.
That alliance had to take out Drew and one of the ladies - probably Nakomis or Diane with Marvin and Karen as sleepers - win. And that was the time to do it. Too bad Adria had to basically destroy her entire’s alliance game for no reason.
Drew should NOT have gotten to the finals the way he did. Such a huge choke.
I feel like everyone went along with Adria to make it a tie because they wanted her to look even worse since she betrayed/screwed/pissed them all off.
Marvin and Will however got her good, they both blasted her very deservedly and I respected the fuck out of both of them for it.
Zach: There's no way I'm going home.
Pao: That's fine with me
I don’t know if this counts, but Aaryn’s Week 2 HOH in BB15 pretty much from the get go had some HOH-itis in its veins. She was cornering the entire house asking them to raise their hands if they voted out David. And then the whole week she was acting rude to other houseguests for being lied to, taking the game more personally than it had to be. She was dead set on Elissa and that also backfired.
She bounce back pretty ok tho. She also win more HoHs after that so I guess it's not that big failure
100% agreed, it was the cruelest hoh I've watched on the show
@@fiannez9051still doesn’t excuse her behavior and the biggest irony is that Elissa the person she had tried to get out week 1, was the person that ultimately got her out of the house even if she wasn’t the intended target.
You forgot Sam so unnecessarily SCREAMING at Tyler (one of her closest allies) to drop out of the HOH competition 😂😂
Bayleigh was WAYYYY worse than Sam though!!
She was screaming because of the comp wasn’t just screaming at him just to be screaming I think she would’ve beaten him anyway to me her week wasn’t that bad she put up two people one of them was already targeting her and she came out of her week without a target
It was in the video. I just watched it.
@@redkingdom15 no mention of it by him though
Would love to see a video of the 5-10 worst HOH weeks of all time. Doesn’t matter when they were but people who just completely ruined or threw the game
Shredder in bb11 definitely qualifies
Fessy. BB20.
and Jessica's week 4 reign from BB19
@@SubspaceRecordsgod that was awful wasn’t it 🤦🏻♂️
Carson from Celebrity Big Brother 3 is probably on there. =P
What a season killer that was....
Great Video.. I really liked Will in BB5. "If karma is a boomerang I'll see you sooner than later"
I too really liked Will, he was a lot of fun and nobody talks about him
DEVIN's HoH reign was the craziest and most chaotic. Dude was all over the place, totally oblivious, and seemed like he was on something from the very beginning. Bayleigh was really disappointing for me. She came in with a really strong understanding of how the game is to be played. She even spoke to her man about staying level-headed and in control of his emotions when he was HoH. Then he left, and it was as if she went downhill from there. Confessing to her enemy that she had that power and thinking she wouldn't tell anyone was idiotic. Bayleigh played herself to the point where it was maddening. As for Hisam, you would think by now, people would understand how to conduct themselves in the house, especially as HoH, but Hisam was oblivious. I was glad he got booted.
With as bad as Hisam was, he will never be a Devin Shepard. It would be pretty difficult to lap that guy. He was delulu. It's so confusing.
I just wanted to say I really love that your videos usually always mix well with what’s going on in big brother either recently or right now. It’s really cool watching big brother and being like “is Ethan gonna make a video on that?”
Cheers VC! It’s always so fun making videos relating to topics happening inside the house
I remember Devin HOH reign being what help me and mom get into big brother because how crazy it was! Devin did help us get into big brother! Big Brother 16 was the first season I watch from start to finish!
Always love how he make videos spacifically pairing with the weeks of big brother!
Thank You! One of my favorite RUclipsrs!
we are BLESSED by this channel’s existence. I feel lucky to exist in a world that Ethanimale creates in
I'd like to throw out a BIG mention to both Kent and Chiara, BB2 and BB3 respectively. Kent, of course, went on a MASSIVE power trip that led to him being evicted the next week.
Chiara, after being blindsided the previous week, came up with the brilliant plan of nominating one of her only two remaining allies as a target, and her showmance as the pawn next to him, which is one of the most genuinely baffling ideas for noms ever. Luckily for her Roddy manages to get the votes to stay, but she's SUCH an easy vote the very next week
Don’t forget Cappy
No, Kent was stabbed in the back by his own alliance member Hardy nominating him
Adria was totally ridiculous. I sort of understood nominating Marvin who had been sort of with the guys....but targeting will as well?
Then to refer to marvin as a "whooped minority"? WTF. I loved when marvin called her out for putting the 2 of them and Will blasting her as he walked out of the door.
God told her to do it.....well bless your heart. God also told everyone else to kick you out right after LOL
I think one of the best HOH-itis is Natalie in bb11, yes, it was towards the end of the game so nothing really big happened, but it still entertaining. Her doing the noms in her bathrobe with a plastic crown and sunglasses, her Pandora's Box "final 2 reversal" lie
That costed her the game, because it swayed Jessie and Lydia away from voting for her in the ended
Fessy in season 20 also had a severe case of HOH-itis during the week that he nominated Scottie.
i like and appreciate the bit you add at the end of the videos about not harassing people over a game show. the people who would do something like that, it will likely go in one ear and out the other. but some people might hear it and think differently, and change how they view things.
positive vibes
Sam's HOH week is the definition of drama, and I was here for it😂
Hisam's veto speech really rubbed me the wrong way. The way he singled out Reilly was completely unkind. It makes me feel bad, she doesn't deserve it. I really wanted to give her a hug
Bailey had so much potential to flip the house around on her HOH but she messed up.
Where is Jee? His second HoH in BB4 saw him
a) win HoH
b) put the rest of the House on food restriction *for the rest of the season* in order to win the Veto
c) win a McDonald's-sponsored "you get our food all week long" competition even though (as HoH) he was *already* the only person in the house eating.
Ain't nothing endears you to the other HGs like visibly eating "prize" food while they're all on PB&J
Then he tried to force the vote so that Jack would stay, and failed. Out the next week, naturally, when nobody had been targeting him coming into that week.
I refer to this as "Jee, Your Hair Smells Terrific…but your HoH smelled like ass." Shocked this wasn't #1
He really should’ve threw the comp bc when you have HANGRY people bc of you and knowing he can’t compete in the next HOH was so stupid.
Great video Ethanimale as it is interesting seeing a players game instantly rank after their HOH.
The term “Post-Reilly” is still one of the funniest phrases in big brother history
Bayleigh getting pissed at Brett for blowing up her game when she was trying to eliminate him is entitled, hypocritical, and straight up hilarious
I'm surprised aaryan gries hoh isn't in the video, it was the meanest most power hungry week I've ever seen in the game. She immediately started screaming at the house for voting her bf out and made all the suspected voters have nots and then went on a witch hunt to find every voter. It was absolutely disgusting
Do I watch Big Brother? No.
Am I still watching all of your videos? Yes.
Back in the day I remember some fans saying Diane was the reason Adria nominated Will, although Diane then professed to be angry and shocked over his nomination. Diane ran a lot of the game that season, so that would make sense. The whole thing felt extremely disorienting at the time as I wasn't following closely enough and was just going with the TV edits. I never had any idea Adria was the person we saw that HOH week. There's also the rawness which BB still had up to about season 8 or 9 which made you feel more emotionally involved.
Devin's HOH was just pure entertainment. I still remember the "Devin has a daughter" jokes.
They make some of the best moments of the season tbh.
Some of my favorite evictions come from that.
i can’t get over the fact that Sam is wearing a jacket that says Christmas 😭
I hated week five of Big Brother 20! Good lord was she horrible in that week! I would like shut up and just played a game without trying to be hateful and rude to everybody! My mom was like she going home this week is fine and she did going home the next week! She got herself to jury!
"I'm literally in a feud with a 45 year old man" lol
Let’s not forget that Marvin created the backdoor! I just love to mention that as much as possible to make sure everybody knows that!
I love Marvin in BB5.
I thought Nakomis created the backdoor aka the 5 finger plan
@@BeeTeePee No! She took credit for it! But it was Marvin idea!
@@olivermensinger Me Too! Plus he from South Carolina like me! One of my favorite players form the classic big brother era!
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 thank you for the clarification 🙏
Nothing better than waking up to a new Ethanimale video in the morning 😍😍😍
"He then strikes up problems with caleb bc he thinks caleb is becoming too entranced with amber" I mean.. he wasn't wrong though lol
Ethanimale vid on eviction night AND it’s 30 minutes?? INSTANT like ❤️
Great video again!!
I just realized, if you count Sam as a member of FOUTTE almost every member of that alliance who won that power went on a power trip when they won HoH, including Fessy who was extremely overprotective of Haleigh. Honestly, this whole list could be BB20 HOH reigns. That’s how crazy it was but I loved it.
Imagine if there was a twist where for the first week, Bayleigh, Devin, and Hisam were all co-HOHs together and for the following week, Frenchie, Adria, and Sam were co HOH's together for the second week. To balance out the power, they all have to play that none of them can compete for HOH during both weeks three and four and their only shot for safety is the veto.
I’m surprised not many people are talking about how it is Jared’s fault that Reilly left the house, he could have sent her to the Nether and made her safe for the week and instead chose Jag for no reason
It’s so many of them and I have a feeling this season is going to at least have 5 more 😭.
Matt is my favorite big brother 25 winner pick! I could be wrong, but I’m sticking to it!
At 17:30 Thank You Brett! I was wondering the same exact thing in Big Brother 20!
It’s a good thing Devin took his eviction like a trooper
If you're gonna do a part 2, you have to include Ronnie from BB11.
I wonder if you could make a video where people used their time as HOH to best improve their position in the house.
In Adria’s defense, Karen and Will were targeting her and Adria had strong relationships with Drew and Cowboy so it made sense for her to target Will she just did it in the completely wrong way
Also, Will was a toxic personality. She just worn down by what she perceived as a lack of support that she "volunteered" to break the tie and take ALL the heat, but that was a step too far.
Ethanimal, you yourself have got me into Bb ty.
At some point I decided that Hisam's plethora of faces he makes reminded me of Tigger and frankly I think he looks a little like a Human Tigger. It made his reign of error so much more fun.
I love you and your videos, keep up the good work!!!!
The way that Bayleigh spoke to people was disgraceful. I’m glad her downfall was so swift
I don’t agree with a lot of people’s “Big Brother lists”, but this Top 5 is BRILLIANT! 🥳
You don't want hoh in the first week. And you dont want hoh in in the second week either. 3rd hoh is the best week because you can easily assess who will be against you and who will be an allie. And you certainly dont want to be an hoh with no clear target.
@@Hahsggsg I said you want want first hoh not that it was bad. First hoh is so crucial to balancing becoming the second evicted house guest which we've seen time and time again and setting yourself up to be positioned well in the game. It is super difficult not to become a target for next week's target. That's why we see so many people drop out the the first hoh competition saying they don't want to win. Less eyes on you in the first three weeks the better.
Every HOH this season has a bad case of HOHitis!
I’m curious to see how many players have been evicted the week after their Hoh reign. Sometimes winning a comp can be the nail in the coffin for a certain players
Sam got lucky she was on BB20 lol. She was in the season with the worst alliance ever created and she was on the side that was dominating. She at least made top 5 so there’s that for her
The most important thing that the HOH, and the House, need to remember, is that the HOH is not in power the following week! HOHes, don't make yourself a target! To the rest of the House, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY SAY!
It's astonishing how clueless Hisam was after his HOH run of potentially being backdoored.
Professors be like “let’s take out our only CompBeast because he’s acting like a dictator even tho the other side of the house could do it for us whenever we wanted them to.”
I have never watched more than one episode of big brother in my life and I am addicted to these videos
ugh.... I couldn't stand bayleigh.... she was rude and thought she was better than everyone else and the way she spoke to a lot of the houseguests made me so angry! I wouldn't care if she was HoH, she wouldn't speak to me that way!!!
15:50 Bailey calls JC a Tic Tac 💀
why was she so brazenly ignorant 💀
Baileigh’s HOH completely damaged her game. Also, she trusted Tyler so implicitly. I don’t understand why.
Those women had huge crushes on him. Even Kaycee had a bro-crush on him. That’s why they were so bitter.
basically all the girls are drilling over him he was so sunshine smart n cool but now he's been drained by the best in da house, Angela lol @@thefoxoflaurels3437
@@Hahsggsg No Bayleigh had legitimate reasons to wanna go after Tyler.
But…it’s Tyler. Someone who looks like that giving you attention is going to make you feel special. Even if you aren’t necessarily attracted to men.
Thank You Martin 22:00! One of my favorite players of all time based on personality alone!
*Marvin but still it’s funny.
I forgot how crazy Bailey was damnnn
Haha, now that you broke Sam’s HOH down like that, it’s funny how even though the bonus life was one of the most overpowered twists, it ended up not only being useless for Sam but actively a detriment to her game. I don’t understand why she wanted to win that HOH so bad, because she knew whoever she nominated and sent home would immediately have a good chance of coming back, and then get IMMUNITY the next week if they do. Even if she handled her reign beautifully it would’ve been one of the worst weeks to win HOH, because no matter who you target they’d likely be safe and then gun for you, and you know you still have a good chance to be safe even if you’re literally evicted that week, so the stakes are way lower to try to even win safety.
I guess somehow by Kaitlin’s miraculous failure Sam managed to still send someone home, but the chances of that happening were shockingly low and she still wanted to risk it.. why?? 😭 That’s really one of the few times winning HOH actively screws you over regardless of how you play it. At best you have like a 10% chance of achieving anything, you’re most likely to send no one home and have a useless reign, and at worst you actively make multiple people heavily target you who all survive the week. And the one you evicted is guaranteed to survive the NEXT week as well if they succeed, and she knew all this going into it and still wanted to win??? I don’t get it
This is such a good point. She was way too near-sighted gunning for HOH like that she literally just had to wait one more week 🤣
@@shannondonnelly8761 right lmao?? Like even if one of her allies didn’t win and she or one of them ended up being evicted, I bet they would’ve breezed through that puzzle and ended up with safety the next week, in a better spot then just having been safe that week. Basically anyone other than Kaitlyn probably would’ve ended up coming back lmao, Sam even could’ve talked to her alliance and made a plan to like intentionally throw the Hoh and evict an ally to give them safety the next week and trick an enemy into getting a lot of blood on their hands with no reward, but I guess they didn’t know how easy that puzzle was gonna be
She wanted it that week because it was a comp she knew she could win so she probably thought this was one of the few chances she could get a win and she wanted her letter they had been there a month at that point and she probably thought whatever the comp was they would fail
@@marcusmelancon3426 ok…. But a letter from home shouldn’t be more important to her than winning the game so maybe she could have thought of the long run? Your argument makes no sense. They all want letters from home, but Big Brother is about strategizing so getting a letter shouldn’t be their top priority
I wish there was a way we could see the full edited speeches.
Lesson of the Day: HOH can be a death trap if not used with care and consideration. AKA do not treat this as regular immunity
I never saw that Hayden clip at the end. Gosh that cracked me up. Tongue the ear. “How does it feel to be safe”
lmao as someone who doesn't actually watch Big Brother, i was like "wtf is that cirie."
Big Brother 16 is my favorite season.
Big Brother is such a great window into things like that shitty boss you've got. Give people power, and some will just freak the f out, others it doesn't impact them in the slightest. Hisam might be the most self-important individual I've ever seen.
I think Bayleigh was beginning to be pregnant during her HOH I could be wrong tho
Mathematically, she must have 3-4 weeks at this point.
bayleight in the house under stress is hard to watch since I know what follows that stress.
Yo, BB25 looks like a lot of fun! Should I watch it?
This most recent episode on big brother was so funny this whole cast is hilarious
whenever i think of HOH-itis i think of Devin
Can’t understand why they voted with Hisam. I would have voted to evict Cameron.
I have not seen everything with BB but man Hisam went too hard too fast. His speech was too much. Felicia's speech to him at the veto meeting to put him up was perfection and sweet poetic justice. I hope he goes home
Ethanimale, I'm quite scared that you have a severe case of Video Idea Neglectitis, when you refuse a loyal fan's video idea which they have been commenting for over years. I now diagnose you with only another video until the sickness strengthens and the only way to cure yourself is by ranking every single BB eviction in history.
I should just rewatch season 20, what a fever dream of a season
Felicas veto speech was so iconic
Does Devin’s count as HoH-itis if it’s really just part 2 of his Proxy HoH-itis from Caleb’s Week 1 HoH where he recruited people without asking?
yeah honestly watching Sam's HOH speech made her go from my favorite of the season, to ohhhh she sucks and hates women for some reason? if a woman said to my face that i was the opposite of female empowerment i would start swinging...
saying "god told me to do so" after nominating the only gay dude and the only black dude in the house is crazy
Hisam literally saying he wanted the sides of the house to change is crazy
I always forget how funny JC was lol one of my all time favorite drs is "faysal.. my beeg daumb puppet" 😂😂😂
The BEST thing that could happen to S25 is bringing Hisam back with a special power to keep him there for at least a few weeks more. Would love to see him win a battle back.
God no
