- With 25 seasons over 20 years, featuring hundreds of players and episodes (and twists)... here's how I define the eras of Big Brother.

So basically every time Janelle comes back she signals the end of an era
She's like the Silver Surfer. Herald of the eater of worlds.
LMao. Janelle holds the most unique position ever in Big Brother History. I don't know what you would call it ..but it's the most unique IMO.
What a queen 👑
Pistachios and Popcorn Janelle is Big Brother like she just embodies it
BAHAHAHHAHA FR 💀
Renny yelling “ITS INAPPROPRIATE!” will never get old 😂😂
“STICKING FINGERS IN PEOPLES FACES”
I literally just came from that video lol!
Renny yelling in general will never get old
I want it embroidered on a pillow 💛
Renny yelling anything never gets old
When she thought the door was locked and started screaming “Mary mother of God it’s locked”
i really appreciated the less produced diary room seasons.
*They feel more real and I guess less loud?*
I hope there not gonna add too much “I WALK INTO THE BACKYARD” lines :>
Yes I miss when players actually came off as human being and not robotic caricatures that are trying so hard to have a personality that it just comes off as cringe. I miss the real and relaxed DRs that were more genuine
I agree. The more natural sessions left more room for game play and let people like Kaysar become the fan favorite that he is today. Viewers WANT to see the true intention and game play in the DR because they can't always see it on the feeds. But I feel like the feeds now more genuinley express game play than the DR's.
This is why I'm loving bb22 right now. Because of the more mature cast the diary room sessions are more calm and seem more authentic. They're not as loud and annoying and it's refreshing. It's really nice.
@@um773 We'll see how long that lasts. I miss when Arnold Shapiro was in charge. Allison Grodner made a lot of cheesy, unfair changes imo. That being said, AG PLEASE GIVE JANELLE AND KAYSAR A COUP D'ETAT , DIAMOND VETO, ETC lmao
I just want one season where the twist is that there are no twists. No second chances, no special powers. I think double evictions would be okay, but just no twists.
Yeah, we could only hope. But they have this mentality that we don't know what we want.
Yeah, just strategy instead of production being able to play favorites
one double eviction, not announced until the night of immediately after the first eviction takes place.
If it wasn't for production Derrick wouldn't have won big brother
Season 10 lol the greatest of all seasons...and NO TWISTS! CBS take notes!!
I still miss that damn key wheel. It was so much better to watch as people find out they’re safe one by one instead of all at once
I honestly don't miss the key wheel IMO, I like the way they do the noms now
I miss the era of the key wheel but tbh it dragged out way to long sometimes I zoned out with them READING so n so you're safe it's better and faster now we can just move on lol
@@MM-kq7kl That's honestly why I like the current method better, it gets straight to the point
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK !! I WISH IT WAS STILL AROUND!!!
When did they stop using the key wheel?
I miss that wheel...I would have set it so enemies would pull each other out lol
Deadass after Keesha said she was from an “older season” yesterday, I really wanted someone to make a big brother era video. Peridiam reads my mind once again lmao
OMFG SAME
Sameeee
But she is 😭
How does he always know?
The tone of All Stars 2 feels different from recent seasons. Maybe it's because the cast is older and experienced, maybe it's an intentional decision to match the overall tone in America in 2020, but it feels more serious overall. House guests don't seem so over-the-top in the DR. The past few years, it felt like a producer was telling them to get more and more animated all the time. The aesthetics of the house even seem to match the tone -- the house feels more natural with muted colors, less like an over-saturated cartoon. I think also because we have returning players, we don't have the annual handful of house guests who are mugging for the camera and trying to get famous that way instead of trying to win the game.
yes! and the low possibility of showmances
Yes and I'm liking it.
BB10 was incredible. Renny is a legend.
I really miss the natural confessionals. I really appreciate that they seem more real this season. Big Brother wouldn't have to feed people confessionals if the casting was better. The cast being generally older this season also helps to make it feel more authentic imo
I used to love the DR confessionals. BB12 blessed us with Britney, but it’s like they tried so hard to reproduce that kind of energy that we’ve been stuck with the same run-of-the-mill garbage year after year. They’re so repetitive, unnatural, cringey, scripted, and LOUD. I hate DR bits now. Pretty much have rolled my eyes at least twice per episode over the last several years because of how annoying and dumbed down they are. I really hope BB22 remedies this.
@@AFriendlyNecromorph BB12 was when the DRs started sounding fake to me. Britney was great, but I'm sure 98% of Lane's DRs were scripted
Yass they need to cast more Britney’s and Davonne’s
Yesss. The canned confessionals are so boring. The older seasons felt so much more authentic.
Big Brother 1 is like those pages at the beginning of a book that are in front of page 1 with little Roman numerals rather than page numbers. The fact I watched it when it aired 20 years ago makes me feel so old.
BB1 is that classic movie that you watch after watching the modern reboot.
I watched the first episode of BB1 then, for whatever reason, didn't watch the show again until years later. I don't even remember why I didn't follow through.
Yep. It’s almost like a prologue or a foreword. Or a copyright page. 😆 I remember the day it premiered.
I’m just wondering how over the course of 20 years, Julie hasn’t aged a single bit
Chenbot
Plastic surgery and good genes
Emeka O 😆
Uh...have you seen her without makeup??
It's the same with so many tv show hosts
Jeff probst looks exactly the same as he did in the first episode of survivor
I think we are totally in a new era. Similar to bb15, cbs wants to try and rebrand the show after bb21 and the controversy and what better way to start then bringing back a bunch of old players to attract an audience. Hopefully this change is for the better because the modern rebrand starting with bb16 has made the game much more boring and lost a lot of what made big brother so interesting
Can we go back to the post classic era? Aka the best era of BB
8-14 the only trash season is 9. New era only 20 has truly been good imo. And classic era is solid throughout but not as good as post classic.
Tyler Ray totally. Bb20 was only good because the back and forth was very reminiscent of old school bb but that was only because of kaitlyn most of the time and once foutee self imploded the game started to be boring as level 6 dominated. I would argue 17 was also kind of decent but no other seasons are really good. But definitely that era is so good it has some of the best and arguably the best (bb10) seasons in my opinion. Hopefully we get back to that soon and less of the influencer showmance stuff
@@nicholas4694 Kaitlyn was like the shittiest part of that season so we completely disagree on what makes a good season. A good season to me is just good players. 5 of the 6 were good players. Thats a good season to me.
@@The0Kiyubii0Kid ya we do disagree on what makes a good season lol (which is totally fine). Personally though kaitlyn gave us the back and forth and constant blindsides which made the beginning of the season so interesting. Once that was gone and foutee turned on itself and the hacker came in level 6 started to dominate the season got boring for me. But thats just me
@@nicholas4694 She was just annoying drama. I dont care for players who whine and cry a ton. Whi h is why this season I hope Nicole F gets knocked out soon.
every era of big brother (considering S22 is the end of this era) has ended with janelle...we love to see it
Another reason she's iconic
janelle like rachel are just annoying ho's
Never understood what the big deal is about Janelle, and Kaysar for that matter.
Classic era is still my favorite to this day. BB today is used mostly to launch people’s “celebrity” status. I still watch since there isn’t much on tv during the summer, but I sure do miss the old days of BB.
"I could win at the big brother game by simply listening and gauging the demeanor of others"
-William kirby
I’ve convinced myself that Karen from BB1 is the reason the term exists.
Shes probably the leader of all Karen's
I do vaguely remember her being rather...interesting.
*The modern era is not good,I mean what “rule” is there that you need to go with everything the HoH says*
I love rain Like chocalate Season 20 with Bay’s HoH She wanted Brett gone but Rachel went.
Season 19 with Jess' HoH. She wanted Josh gone, but Ramses went
"okay but what about that ONE TIME during this season that the house went against the HoH" yes, it does happen, but no one ever seems to want to cross the HoH , unless whoever is running the house happens to be gunning against the HoH that season
Yes! its like think for yourself, play for yourself and if you don't like what the hoh is doing do something about it
THANK U OMG BAYLEIGH PISSED ME OFF THE OTHER DAY ON THE FEEDS LIKE DO U NOT REMEMBER UR HOH ON SEASON 20 WHERE THEY DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT U WANTED?! U SHOULD BE THE LAST PERSON TO FEEL OBLIGATED TO DO WHAT THE HOH WANTS. Ugh had to get that off my chest
Hopefully the new era comes with a more diverse cast like Big Brother Canada is doing
The new era will be defined by Kaysar who will return every season until he makes it to Jury😂
The second ERA will always be the best. All Stars One was one of the goat seasons ever.
Season 15 is also hard to place, cause it’s a horrible season, with too many issues. The juxtaposition between 15 and 16 is SO real
when you showed ginamarie in the diary room i felt like she was shouting at me
This makes complete sense. The second eta has always been my favorite. I’d love to see more psychological, socioemotional play and less physical with more inclusiveness (being in some more disabled people) in the future.
Same. 👍🏻
Hey peridiam! You should do the road to victory but with big brother.
Edit: This is day 1 btw
yes
i vouch
This is the one here
Great idea
The finale of BB18 marked the beginning of this "Soft" era which we are currently in. Worthy houseguests will probably never win again due to "butthurt" jury members. I remember CBS would influence Jury members to vote for who they think "has the played the best game", or "who deserved to win Big Brother". Now it's "who you want to win".
As a superfan who was watched every season from it's conception, nothing really grinds my gears to see a bitter jury voting for the winner of "Big Baby" instead of crowning the winner of Big brother.
I understand there was been some pretty bad jury's in the past, but nothing compares to this era.
Paul has played back to back seasons of straight legendary dominance of physical and mental prowess getting robbed over floaters Nicole Franzel and Josh Martinez in Seasons 18 & 19. Making him the best player to never win BB.
BB20 Kaycee beat out Tyler, a young legend in the making. Both had great comp wins, but Tyler's mental game was extraordinary similar to Pauls.
Even Celebrity Big Brother's finales was pretty bad. Especially Ross who played the best game out of everyone. Dominated with his intelligence, and his impressive comp wins. Got beat out by "floater" marrisa.
I just hope I'm not the only one who enjoyed watching the prime of Big Brother and enjoying the end result of finale 🤷.
I think Kaycee deserved to win tbh, but I agree about Paul getting robbed for 2 years
The butthurt jury members were butthurt because they wanted to sit on their asses and let the Derrick's, Paul's and Tyler's do all the work for them while they thought they could float to a easy victory. Then got pissed off when the two people who did the most work were sitting at the final 2. In the old Big Brother you hardly seen a bitter jury because the majority of the players came on to play the game and maybe win. Not let someone else play the game for them.
Cody, just won and the jury wasn't bitter.
Paul sucked he forgot about jury management. Josh didn't and stole it from Paul in the goodbye messages. As much as i disliked him; Josh deserved to win over Paul.
@@-007-2 imagine playing a top 3 performance and a flawless season and getting 2nd place lmaooo
15-present is the why am i still watching this show era
well, 17 18 and 20 arent bad in my opinion. but arent amazing. BB19 and BB21 are fucking hell. BB15 was the racist season, BB16 was super boring and hated it. BB22 is meh right now, hope it picks up.
Facts!
Can we have a ranking of the craziest/most uncofortable have-not rooms in bb history (including bb can)? :)
YESSSS i would love this
I’ve only watched until the point of Peridiam saying he thinks there are 4 eras, but based on that, here’s how I personally break them up in my own mind:
1st era- BB1
2nd era- BB2-BB7
3rd era- BB8- BB15
4th era- BB16- now.
Then again, I did start watching BB during BB17 & went back and watched BB16 alongside it while it was airing, so that might just be a division based upon my own personal timeline, or even due to the switch to HD. Also another interesting factor is that BB fans consider Will, Dan, and Derrick to be the best players and they each come from different eras and have only played within one era of the show apiece.
Correct.
I started watching in bb 17 I loved that’s season it had the best players
Johnny Mac
James
Vanessa
Liz
Meg
Steve
Clay
Sheli
Best quote of the season:
"Yo she looks like a bootleg teletubbie"
Change my mind.
In my opinion BB1 doesn’t exist lol. BB2 is the first real season in my opinion
In my opinion it really is in my opinion that’s just my opinion, in my opinion 😉
I agree season 2 is the first season
It still exists, it's just not good.
"It's a rule that you HAVE TO do what the HoH wants."
I MISS the key wheel & food comps & PB&J!
Cast varied in age. LOVE to see it!
"I like Vanilla."
15 needs to be forgotten.
Something is off with your voice here?
My rule of thumb was this:
If the font of the DR changes (the words that tells the person’s name and occupation), a new era begins
Hey, Peridiam, I was wondering if you could do a video like, “5 Worst Moves by Good ‘Big Brother’ Players,” or a video like, “5 Best Moves by Bad ‘Big Brother’ Players.”
I STOPPED what I was doing. New Peridiam, yay!
I agree Ashley I instantly clicked, was waiting for his video all week after all the Podcast, im ready 4 the first Eviction
For me, seasons 1 -10 were the best. Once they started the scripted diary rooms and focusing on showmances it went downhill.
This.
In my opinion, these are the eras of big brother (EDITED 30/08/2020 with descriptions and a change in seasons in eras):
The Beginning: BB1 (a completely different show; relied strictly on America rather than the actual houseguests)
The Classic Era: BB2-BB5 (the birth of actual big brother; very old-school and players shaped and formed the game e.g. Dr. Will inventing cutthroat gameplay and manipulation, the Danielle/Jason duo pioneering strategic dominance, Jun pioneering the floating strategy, Alison's controversial flirtatious gameplay and Nakomis inventing the backdoor are all examples of shaping the game of big brother)
The Golden Age: BB6-BB10 (BB6 had a more modern feel to it and began a series of brilliant seasons; aside of BB9, BB6-10 are great seasons with great strategic, cutthroat and tough gameplay, good twists and intense, entertaining drama)
The Recession Era: BB11-BB14 (These seasons are decent but not the best; the quality of gameplay and big brother itself is starting to recess. The casts are becoming less cutthroat and more passive too)
The Dark Days: BB15-BB21 (Aside from BB17 and BB20, the BB15-21 era is filled with very passive gameplay, unlikeable casts, very stupid day 1 evictions, bad twists and obnoxiously loud DR's. Racism, bullying and attention seeking are all present in these seasons and the quality of big brother at this point is at an all time low)
The Rebirth Era: BB22+ (BB22's more mature cast brings a bit more of an old-school vibe to it. While the direction of the season is going the BB15-BB21 dark days route with the weak gameplay and the VERY controversial eviction order, the twists are decent and the DR's aren't so obnoxious. Racism and bullying has yet to emerge as well, thankfully. Hopefully this season ends the dark days and begins a new era; the rebirth of big brother after 20 years)
i feel like bb20 is def the best out of the dark days era
@@giancarlooliveri9321 Oh without a doubt.
This video pretty much sums up perfectly where I went from being obsessed with BB to not caring less about it. I grew up in the "classic" era of BB, starting from S2. The highlight for me was All-Stars (S7.) I watched S8-S10 with waning interest, and then S11 I maybe watched one or two episode of and I was already over it. I haven't watched an episode since then.
BB Canada actually does a really great job. They know when to throw a good twist in and make it up for grabs for anyone instead of “here take this and act shocked”
watching this back is crazy because bb22 was definitely the end of the “modern” era and bb23 is the new era with the new casting director and better show editing
Lmao Karen should of been on all stars strategic reverse psychology queen !!!!!
I feel like 15 was such a cusp season, excited to see where it falls.
And I agree w you lol. Trippy
This is a great video. I love how you separated all of the seasons into eras. I've learned enough from that, but I wish I would've known more from before I watched your video. LOL, which stands for "Laughing Out Loud" in cyberspeak
Yeah, as I have said before. I feel like I would define the eras by camera and audio quality. Along with decorations.
They have improved a lot since the beginning
Big brother 15 deserves its own era
Danmm, you really make me want to go watch the earlier seasons
Please do. It’ll change your whole outlook on the show.
Im rewatching seasons right now and it really is jaring how much better old confessionals are to the new ones. One of them has people feel like..........people. Anger, sadness, humor, wittiness. You really get a feel for the people playing the game. Then you watch newer seasons and its just people reading some script, throwing out a cliche "we aint in iowa anymore hur dur hur". Its pretty incredible how much better it is. The old seasons are like reading a good book and the new ones are like reading a tweet from some dude with 50 followers.
I remember watching majority of these big brother seasons with my mom and it’s nice to realize those good memories with mom are iconic seasons and great players. I remember seeing Ian and falling in love with him cause he was only a few years older 😂
big brother all stars 2 definitely has an old school classic big brother feel to it
janelles entrance into the safety suite comp... iconic
I would divide it like this 1) Trial-n-Error: BB1. 2) Classical Era: BB2-BB7(Ending with AllStars). 3) Middle Era: BB8-BB10. 4) Platinum Era: BB11-BB15. 5) Reset Era: BB16-BB18/OTT(Post Social Media Era). 6) Social Media Era: BB19-BB22 (Big Social Media influence)
You NAILED this. I agree with everything.
8:16 why is aaryn’s name and face on the board twice
Brendon Keen Aaryn replaced Amanda LOL
I definitely think the modern era was BB16-BB22. I feel like if there is an Allstars season, that that always has to be the final season of that era. Also I feel like BB15 was kinda the launch pad for new era but wasn’t actually the new era quite yet.
the second era is my favorite era of the show. the middle school era was pretty good too.
Big Brother 10 followed the classic formula, and look at how AMAZING it was! My top 10 mostly consists of the first half of 22 seasons.
you know what era i miss? the era where they turn the keys and hand out the ones that were safe.
“America’s Player was a new twist for Big Brother 8, that seeped it’s way into the season so profoundly it was like no other season before it”
That’s one way of describing it. sure.
I know I'm in the minority but I fell in love with BB in BB17. I really loved Vanessa and Johnny Mac and Steve and I'm glad Steve won.
I'd say its
BB1
BB2-BB7
BB8-BB15
BB16- now
Great Video though!
The classic era will always be the best, but big brothers like pizza even the worst is still good 🍕
Definitely we need more diary room confessionals seen by the TV public, IMO. Those DR’s gave us a real look at what each HG is TRULY thinking.
Luvvvvvvv it!
I think we would all love a vanilla season or like old school, PBJ sandwiches again, key wheel, food comps, no live voting so we don't even know exactly who's going, leas production for dr and so on
Literally the exact same way I would have broken it down.
Season 10-16 was my favorite times watching big brother.
i love this channel so much. i’m using it to study to hopefully one day be on big brother. hopefully they don’t cancel the show before i can be in it.
If this show wasn't so cheap to produce and fill a summer time slot I don't think it would be on anymore.
They honestly need to stop giving contestants in sequester seasons to watch with arbitrary rules. Or at least give them clip packages like, you don't have to play the way the bullies in season XX demanded everyone play by. I think Janelle's question to Bayleigh about why would you give the HOH what they want perfectly encapsulates this. It doesn't make any sense that you would do that, but the audience and players have just accepted it as an unspoken rule for the sake of it. We aren't getting players playing new games anymore and the twists are just a band-aid for that.
1000% agree. The best part about early BB was the casting. Everybody had a different approach. Nobody followed a blueprint. Now it's, "hot buff males form mega-alliance with sexy clout-chasing girls, win physical comps, pick off the dorky outsiders, boring winner". I'd like to see production bring back simple competitions that force players to wheel and deal, like the glass box challenge, and actually cast intelligent people who have an interest in the strategical aspect. The closest we've gotten in the past 4 seasons is Tyler and (unfortunately) Paul.
u should go through each season and say who u think is the best player from that season in a video
Y'all should join the Peridiam Disocrd
See no wonder I’m so used to the gigantic twists and current gameplay..I literally started with the current era. My first season was season 15.
Season 16 is my absolute favorite season.
I wouod say the dark ages were from s15-s19. Not as bad as survivors but it's still not grear
I thought season 17 was pretty solid. Other than that you are correct.
@@MasterNoah12 I thought 17 was average
@@charlieradant Vanessa played an amazing game the whole season only to lose at the end. You have a great character in Johnny Mac and Steve really played a good game post Jury.
S16 and 17 werent as bad as 18 and 19 but still pretty bad, and 21 was also VERY bad
BB17 is like Survivor: Philippines where it's a good season in between bad seasons
i like this new season because it pits the newer players against the older players and the new way of playing against the old way
this is how i would seperate it: BB1, BB2-5, BB6-10, BB11-15, BB16-21, BB22-present
Such a great video. BB15 was supposed to be the new blueprint, but then they had to do a do-over for that with BB16 which is the *true* start of the modern era
You should do a video where you rank the seasons based on how the players that played in that season did in that season and all the other seasons they were on!!!
I'm SO happy you made this video. I was just having a conversation about this with some people the other day 🙂
You could do another unintentionally funny moments and you could include the part when Eric was talking crap about Janelle and Janelle entered the back yard to host the veto competition. 😂😂😂
I 100% agree with the way you divided them! I was thinking earlier how it's tough to place where exactly bb15 falls in all of this because it's not exactly the post-classic era but definitely had a different feel than the current seasons. I can already feel a slight difference with how the houseguests of newer seasons are clashing with JaySer's "classic" game-play and I'm excited to see how the game's going to change going forward. Loved the analysis!
Is it just me or is more episode time being dedicated to comps nowadays? They really feel like they drag on (ESPECIALLY with the scripted diary room sessions re-explaining what the rules are every 5 seconds)
I wish that they would show the Over the Top season on tv, or release it on dvd for those who couldn't watch it online (like myself)
the scripted confessionals are awful
I feel like season 15 is in direct response to season 11 and 12 showmances. 15-22 we saw a huge drop off in the average age of each houseguest, more physically attractive houseguests, and more single houseguests. They took a buckshot approach to showmances to try and recapture the Jeff and Jordan/Brenchel lightning in a bottle.
Mccranda, Jeremy and Candice, nick and Gina Marie, Aaron and David, Aaron and Judd, more maybe? Who even remembers and that was one season. There was an average of 3 showmances each season between 15-20, whereas less than a 1.5 average in seasons 8-14 including s9. Not to mention the dawn of the “thirsty houseguest” I.e. James creeping meg, Caleb creeping amber, Kaitlyn creeping Tyler, Brett, and Faysal. These duos define the course of a big brother season more than anything the way I see it.
Great video! It’s crazy to see how much the show has evolved
Thank you for posting the "Big Brother" videos. I enjoy watching them. ;)
The fifth era. The era of super alliances that are just single-celled balls of goop that don’t fracture. At least level 6 was fun to watch, and gr8ful’s breakup was incredible.
Peridiam you son of a gun! You predicted David getting into BB All Stars
The new era is evicting people you don't ever see yourself working with instead of the biggest "threat".
Season 16,17,18 is elite to the modern world
Such an insightful video. I love a well thought out retrospective!
Yeasss!! We are here!!
I just realized that 4/5 pre jurors in BB16, are from group 1, (Joey, Paola, Devin, Amber)
Big Brother Peridiam videos make me really happy!
Sometimes i forget big brother 1 exists, i always consider season 2 the beginning of big brother.
Thank you for mentioning season 1. I started watching several years into the show, maybe around season 14, then went back and watched from the beginning. Wow! I couldn't believe what I saw on Season One. That cast was the absolute BEST of humanity. Society could certainly learn from them. Every season after, basically the WORST of humanity for entertainment purposes. Sad, but still watching.
I love the amount of Renny in this video
I did _not_ retain that Devin was only 26 on the show... that clip caught me off guard 😂
An interesting video you should do is a top 5 interesting big brother players who we didn't get to see their full potential e.i cause of early eviction, emotion, strategy etc
Ian has been gold on the live feeds this year.
I love when we got a big house in season 6 and a new stage in season 15
Could you do the story of Will Kirby in season 7? I just really want to see you talking about the greats of big brother in general.
I hope they follow Survivor's lead and do an all winners season. Will needs to come back one more time.
when you mentioned that one era was only one year i knew you meant season 1 before you said it. 😂 lol
my eras
bb1: in his words “the rough draft era”
bb2-5: the evolving era
bb6-9: the foundation era
bb10-14: the golden era
bb15-21: the modern era
bb22: either modern or a new era
