The Wild History of the Prize Swap Competition in Big Brother
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- Competitions are an extremely important part of any season of Big Brother. The wall comp, OTEV, and Zingbot are some of the most popular recurring comps, but my favorite has always been the prize swap, AKA the Yankee Swap. This competition is a game within a game, and is one of the few comps that has the ability to create grudges that last the entirety of the game, so let's talk about it. Here is the wild history of the prize swap competition in Big Brother

Развлечения
matt took the punishment like champ. cannot believe he willingly chose josh over cash, a European vacation, and the veto 😂
Its cuz he thought he was gunna hang out w the real guy. He didn't willingly take that punishment. He literally thought for a week he was gunna hang w Josh himself 🤦♂️🤣
@@slimbroco572 nobody forced him to take the punishment. He got first place in the comp. So he willingly took the punishment over the veto and the money and the trip. It doesn’t matter what he thought he was getting. Especially when the 3 good prizes were self explanatory. Veto, trip, money.
@@blaketaylor9850um no not willingly when he thought it was a big reward. Big difference!
@@slimbroco572 lmao it totally was willingly. Dude could of picked anything. It doesn’t matter what he thought he was winning with picking that. It’s not the hang out with Josh competition it’s the power of veto competition.
@@blaketaylor9850 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're not that bright
Matt's love for Josh Duhamel is on another level.
His love for the cut out by the end of the week was even greater
How is your comment 2 days ago but this video was posted like 1 hour ago?
@@mymyyy34 I’m a channel member and get to watch the videos early
@@aireh2535 ohh okay cool
I hope they get to hang out in real life after this 😂
Also important to note, Alyssa shot herself in the foot and took the prize despite thinking London was a city in Paris (yes, the city in France)
She was never the brightest on several levels 🤦🏻♂️
It’s also dumb that many critics of Taylor tried to use her desire to backdoor Alyssa as proof of her bad character, as if Taylor did anything truly wrong and as if Taylor didn’t get treated 10 times worse those first 2-3 weeks of the season.
Nobody is required to love or even like Taylor but the nonsensical crap I have seen said about her is truly absurd 🤦🏻♂️
Jen Johnson unknowingly created the Humiliverse with the costume punishments
it was a cannon event lol
12:09 Boogie's face of "Yup, this two are my biggest allies" makes me laugh every time
The “… WOof.” is fucking hilarious
“you’re a homosapien Brendan, you’re not a wizard” made me spit out my drink I was NOT ready for that 😂 Brit had some of the best DRs
actually he’s a neander-TALL
You should definitely do a recap of the Hide and Go Veto competitions! They are consistently one of the funniest comps on the show
I second this.
"Go team!"
...
"woof"
No clue why but I laughed way harder at “our theme this year is frogs” than I probably should’ve.
“you’re here to win MONEY!” lmao lane is so funny
13:24 i’m appalled….and amanda really tried to act like she was disgusted by aaryn’s actions when she behaved the same way.
CBS should get Josh to be there if/when Matt gets evicted. A Buddy Games hug from his buddy!
or if/when he wins? ;) 😂
12:00 - 12:10 is by far the funniest thing I’ve seen this year. Boogie’s face is just absolutely priceless 😂😂😂
Ok but can we just talk about how everyone in BB17 looks SO GORGEOUS IN THEIR MEDIEVAL ATTIRES?!?!
Vanessa😍
saying “you could cut the tension with a machete” is the most Lane thing ever. bless his heart
BB10...Production saying "used unitard" was CRAZY!!!! Libra taking the Hawaiian vaca was chef's kiss.
The entire game of big brother needs more social games like this. Like survivor has the ax chop comp, hell bbott had the hoh non comp where they just kept deciding who shouldn’t get hoh.
This was a super interesting deep dive - so many dynamics going into this comp every season! Thank you!!
The best competition is the hide and go veto that they don’t even do anymore, nobody will convince me otherwise 😂
Also, BB9 is criminally underrated. I really do love that trainwreck of a season. A Baller ftw!!!!
Not wrong. I been watching whenever feeds this season are dead or down, on like episode 27 entertaining fasho
The prize swap is the most underappreciated reoccurring Big Brother comp. It almost always produces drama and big moments.
I love the statement on 30:29 "I hope you enjoy it too. If you don't, well, then this video was probably a gigantic waste of your time."
Matt’s just a recruit prolly didn’t know it was a punishment
He is also deaf and probably didn't fully hear what was said. Plus, it is cute he did decide to give up stuff for it.
This was such a fun look back at one of the most iconic competitions! Love that the unitard punishment has stuck around the whole time. It’s usually pretty entertaining.
I'd love to see a video all about hide and go veto. That could be fun
Loved Hide and Go Veto. Seeing the house trashed like a college dorm in the opening weekend before classes is always a trip😅
Shame we couldn’t see the past one in real time because I knew they played it on the Saturday before the past one & it took about 5 hours to complete.
the wizard confessional is my favorite big brother moment of all time and I appreciate the addition here
I was laughing when Matt thought he was going to hang out with the actual Josh Duhamel😅😂
This comp is hilarious to watch unfold every season. That being said my favorite win has to be from BB23. Brit’s reaction to winning after being on the block for the third time and taking herself off was just amazing to watch!
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Great Job!
I think Matt had a lot of fun with Josh 🤣 I know I loved watching it!
2:30 "It's a personality 😊" 😂
PLEASE make an Otev Video! Everybody who watches your videos (I have seem 95% of them) would absolute love to see it. If you did a community poll, I guarantee that almost everyone would approve of it. I know you said you weren't gonna make any more videos on specific comps like this one, but PLEASE do an Otev video. There are some iconic, series defining moments that have occurred during this competition every season. From people getting exposed by others finding out they were stockpiling and working together from the same pile during the competition, to James and Janelle getting in a fight over a doll, to Rockstar absolutely blowing up and destroying her alliance's game.
I think that Otev is almost just as much of a strategy game as the Yankee Swap is, although maybe a tiny bit less because people don't *always* show their cards in Otev like they are forced to in Yankee Swap so maybe there is a bit more drama there.
I love this challenge! Glad to see it talked about considering it's been on every season since like 2007, also loved the Barfbag mention 🔥🔥
Speaking about that HOH comp in BB 11, would love to see a video about comps/situations that weren't planned happen. Like in All Stars with the comp being broken, cheating in BBcan 1, Comp breaking in Over the top etc.
I love your videos I am always looking forward to watching them :D
It’s weird that you didn’t mention Cirie and Felicia stuck together before the veto meeting or Cam and Izzy (HOH and the target) stuck together doing a punishment.
That probably ended up being maybe the most consequential of these comps, as Cirie and Felicia being mostly on their own for two days led Jared to alienate Cory from their alliance and start the path of Izzy being evicted.
@@kengeorgejones6855 yeah, usually the punishments from the prize swap are just funny and have no affect on the game.
Russell from BB11 is a national treasure. Love the fact he was like the best part of that season in terms of being an outright jerk all the time, but in a good way.
12:06 That alone made the competition a highlight in my eyes. Just Ian in a dogsuit and Frank in a spiritard next to Boogie who looks like he's saying "Yep! This is my team everyone." in a deadpan way.
Another great vid, Keep up the good work
i love this comp, will never forget bb10s one where michelle fucking blows up on libra 😭
I agree with Lane at 9:22! Lane is probably personal one of my favorite runner ups ever! Gameplay was good but based on entertainment value!
I was wondering why Felicia was eliminated when she got a better score and why they showed us her score if they were gonna eliminate her after her collapse and not explain why. I assume she was medically DQ'd from the challenge or that she voluntarily quit the challenge given her exhaustion. An official explanation would've been nice.
In that round Felicia and Matt actually tied for last and had to compete in a tie breaker round and the scores shown in the episode were the scores of the tie breaker. For some stupid reason production left all that out.
@@norayrgevorkyan6425I guess they didn't have enough time in the episode for that.
It was a 2 hour episode@@squeakyelbows
That's the joke.@@norayrgevorkyan6425
Matt went from Riley shrine to Josh Duhamel shrine
I think the punishment comp would be a good video (the How Much Do You Want It one). If you've done it, I'd love to see it. (obvs would be more timely if they brought it back - also though, when was the last time it happened?!)
I love the implication that they reused a dirty red unitard 3 years in a row
When Elena took the $5000 from Alex I was secretly screaming "Yas girl!" Cause I really despised Alex throughout the season and Elena was gonna go home real soon anyway, might as well take some cash.
As for Matt, he was by far one of the most frustrating houseguests as I hoped he'd win so he'd use it on himself and we'll still see some heavy Paul opposition in the house, only for him to use it on someone else and call himself an "expert loser" in his speech. So yeah Matt was a useless pile of rubbish. But all in all the swap competition is probably my favorite comp in BB
10:35 LMAO! BB13 is such an underrated season I remember watching that Jordan/Shelly argument live.
Dude! Thank you! I thought I was hallucinating when they said Felicia lost that round.
Can you show the video of the history of the OTEV Veto Competition from all the first time to this season?
One of my favorite comps every season.
I love Dick's comment about the personality
I love your content!! TY!! Is that your voice? If so, awesome!!! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Finally you covered buddy games on this channel
My toxic trait is that i would pick the money or a trip every time lmao
I'd rob that cash so fast 😭
7:21 KEEP CRYING 💀💀💀
You could do another video about the history of pitch black competitions on big brother
I really like Matt I hope he makes the final or like top 5
I know this is a lot to ask but video idea maybe like a rank every zing bot roast or something I love your channel btw
I find it interesting to think about the evolution of what prizes/punishments are offered in the prize swap competition. In the first few years it was played, the unitard was the only punishment. there were traditionally 5 desirable prizes: the veto (except in one case it was the HOH), a cash prize, a luxury prize (trip/motorcycle/plasma TV), a phonecall or letter from home, and usually a slop pass. In season 12, instead of a slop pass it was a spot in the next veto competition. over time it evolved to have fewer desirable prizes and more punishments. in season 12, there was an extra round and one of the prizes was a second chance in the competition, but they had to trade it to someone else. this could be good or bad depending on if there is anyone eliminated before you that you want to see win the competition. I think season 12 was the first time two players ended up with punishments, the hippie-tard and solitary confinement. Season 13 had solitary confinement combined with a phonecall from home, combining a prize and punishment. Now they traditionally have three desirable prizes: veto, cash prize, and a trip, and three punishments. I sort of preferred when it was mostly desirable prizes, because then the winner had four possible prizes to tempt them not to take the veto. but there are good things about it being half punishments, you get the drama of three people having to stick people with punishments and comedy of seeing the punishments play out. so it's all a matter of preference if it should be mostly good prizes or half punishments.
I had forgotten that season 22 only had five people in the prize swap. I wonder what prize or punishment they had planned and left out
Matt taking the Duhamel “prize” is so iconic, it’ll probably be what people remember most about Matt years down the line, even if he wins (which I think he will!)
After finishing the video, I think the key to doing well after this comp is to voluntarily take/keep a punishment and then just have fun with it! Ian and Matt used their punishments as a way to endear themselves to their fellow houseguests and the audience. Plus you can have a positive impact on the other comp players by not stealing from/punishing them, and possibly even giving one of them a prize.
Felicia’s punishment basically saved her game because she (I think unintentionally) took the most dominant player out of strategy talks for two days.
All that being said, I definitely wouldn’t willingly do one of those over night punishments, like Izzy and Cameron having to basically do the sweat challenge from new era Survivor.
Pauly having to bake the pie while he and everyone knows he's going home... is so funny.. almost as good as Keisha's Birthday
Honestly, I think Jeff’s “Take it easy Mrs. Roper, you look real classy” is one of the smartest off-the-cuff cracks I’ve seen on this show and from a very unlikely source.
Emma and Trent…the question is which Emma is it? 😭
Felicia was not DQ’d!! Nor did she forfeit. She and Matt actually tied that round( lower than Jag’s 17) and what was edited into the episode was their tiebreaker scores against each other. Some really wonky editing that made zero sense, but that’s what happened per hamsterwatch. It was bugging me for a few days that people were saying “Felicia forfeited!” Why would someone forfeit a veto when they’re the nominee? Kinda insulting
I SUGGESTED THIS IDEA!
Prize swap has to be my favorite recurring challenge
It’s funny to me when the early-outs decide to keep the veto and hope that none of the others will take it from them. I feel like a better strategy would be to just take a reward or a easy punishment, because you’re a lot more likely to keep those, and less likely to end up with a really bad punishment when someone takes the veto from you.
10:47 I’m cryingggg at Rachel dragging Jordin away. I forgot about that
“it’s a personality!!” is still the best diss of all time even though i love jen
Ethanimale is too good to us...
Go Team. Woof. 😂😂
We were so close to getting Jerry in the unitard.
as a self proclaimed BB comp historian I was literally just hoping for one of these videos and you delivered 🫡
good morning Ethan!!!
good morning!
Have done any videos on the Zingbot yet?
Have you done a OTEV evolution?
Ethanimale, I decided to swap my video idea of "The Long History Of The Third Nominee" for your word that you will create this video.
You always have such great tie ins with the video
BB9....Ryan was NEVER going to get Sheila's vote at this comp. 🤦🏾♀️
So, apparently what happened with Felicia being eliminated over Jag, was that Matt and Felicia had both scored the same score lower than Jag's score of 17 and had to play a tie breaker. That's why Josh tells Felicia that she has to beat Matt's score in order to move on to the next round. For some reason, production decided to not air Matt and Felicia scoring the same before doing the tie breaker (despite this being a two hour episode), so the end result is confusing and makes the viewer feel like they've entered an alternate dimension.
I love these comps and the wall comp but my top 3 big brother competition staples would be 1. Otev , 2. Hide and go veto , 3. And the comics one
Libra stealing the hawaiian vacation is a top 10 moment for me.
9:17 Stuff like this is one of the reasons I wish Lane won BB12.
I feel like Matt maybe took the punishment was because since he is deaf maybe he didn't understand the whole prize to be honest I would have trade it for 5000
You should make a video of all the houseguests who left in a punishment costume
Matt so funny 😂😂
as someone who's into puppy play, "it's a dog life" is pretty great
29:42 Tell me you were a recruit without telling me you were a recruit.
Russell in bb11 had no chill like wtf 😂
Matt definitely thought he would leave the house for a week and then come back into the game
DO HISTORY OF THE KNOCK OUT COMP BCUZ THATS A GAME WITHIN A GAME AS WELL TBF
What would Angela do now 🤔 🤣🤣🤣
Did you livestream last night's wall comp on twitch?
Yes on Twitch!
@@Ethanimale Damn!! I meant to tune in for it but I completely spaced. Next time!
I never faulted Alyssa for taking that trip. Hoh needs to win that comp to make dictations like that. Plus people should know that there is potential for your good prize to get taken away. Takes a rare individual to keep a punishment.
2:30 🫢 dang no filter
I love Matt so much i hope he goes far
"it's a personality" - Evil Dick 😂
“It’s a personality”
Bb18 also gave us Baldwin the eagle puppet and Victors great moment of pretending that James owed him money using Baldwin
Another important thing about the BB24 comp: it's the origin of those green pants Turner took from Kyle and wore all the time the rest of the season
I can still hear alex screaming “WE PROMISED NOT TO CURSE EACH OTHER”
