  • For the most part, twists in Big Brother are a one and done kind of thing. But, Pandora's Box was an exception as it was a staple from Big Brother 11 through Big Brother 14. Sometimes it was just a funny segment on the show, but other times it was absolutely game altering, so today we will be going through the entire history of Pandora's Box and seeing just how controversial it really was.

    I initially liked Pandora's box as it played into Exect the Unexpected in an interesting way and allowed the players some degree of agency, but as it continued to never be rejected or became pretty obvious to me that it was just a farce and it was just a way for production to do something wild and have the players take the blame for it happening instead of them

      They could make it more like Lane’s PB where you have this choice of how much you are willing to risk to gain. It’s a fun gamble instead of just someone’s game getting tanked for no reason. That or legitimately allow the tempted houseguest to refuse the offer.

  • @ryanward5770

    The rule seems to be: if pandoras box offers money, NEVER open it. Only when money is on the line are bad punishments unleashed. Otherwise it's just a fun twist

    Pretty sure production allowed Rachel to write out that pretzal message cause they wanted to save Brittany that week. Remember that production had already stepped in and said Brendan couldn't nominate Brittany cause uhh rules? I guess the message thing was supposed to push Brenden even further for Matt instead of Brittany. Wouldn't be surprised if production subtly encouraged her to leave out that message either.

    • @raheemfielder-bey998

    If they bring Pandora's Box back they should use BB24 Michael's idea of if you open it you get immunity for the week after your HoH but in return your HoH reign ends after your initial nominees are made and the Diamond Power of Veto is in play that week.
    And of course, this should only be used under the assumption that players actually get to choose whether to open it and are not forced to do so.

    • @raheemfielder-bey998

    here is another piece of evidence that, in my opinion, confirms Porshe's Pandora's box was unplanned: Julie usually told us during the live show that Pandora's Box would come the following week. This time she did not announce it. It was the first Pandora's Box of the season but they didn't announce it during the live show like they did most twists. That is why I believe it was unplanned and production only decided to do it after Porshe won HOH.

    I always loved Pandora's box as a kid watching BB but I don't remember any of them except S14's, so thank you for doing this little recap video! It's fun to see the changes to each one and how drastic to just fun they can be. I'd be in favor of it returning, but definitely only if it was harmless things like Lane's Box.

  • @craigresendes2403
    @craigresendes2403 Год назад +36

    The Golden Ball was meant to save Dan, but of course it benefited Ian. Mind you, Dan still was saved that week but we got the legendary funeral which of course is the correct timeline. I wonder what happens in the timeline where Dan wins the golden ball-Ian theoretically can now win the Veto (and honestly Ian is smart enough to pull out the questions and would absolutely take the punishments if it meant keeping him in the house). The question is-Dan obviously saves himself, does Frank then immediately nominate a new replacement or does he have to wait until the POV winner decides whether or not to use it? Because wow that could change the game if the former (Frank would still put up Britney so Ian then takes her off next, then who goes up? Shane or Chef Joe?). Now THAT’s a What If.

    I'm currently watching back each season, and just got to Porsche's Pandora's Box, which I've been anticipating.
    Watching it live, I was like, there's no way anyone could be that stupid. But after hearing about production's manipulation of certain things, this was clear. This was the first time I realized bullshit was afoot.
    I would have outright refused, no matter what it took. What are they gonna do, kick me off the show? I would have dragged their asses through the mud.

      @Asacbe I think people take the "Blood on your hands" thing to personally. If I was in BB and someone in the house is taking shot after shot and succeeding, I would most likely vote for them. They did the work and got people out, the object of the game is to be the last one standing not to make friends and peace with the house and players. A better social game, yes I can see that. It's the lying and blood on your hands thing that I can never get pass. If someone wants to take you out because you are a good player or just happened to noninate you and you got the short end of the stick then that's personal and not even part of tje game. It's one of the many reasons Idk if I can go on BB and not lose my mind over players like that. I can't do the back and forth about morals on Big Brother. It ruins the cutthroat game alot of fans LOVE

    For a twist that lasted only four seasons it certainly made an impact!

    There's a video topic idea I have actually had in my backpocket for a while now, at least since blockstar Taylor won BB. I don't know if anyone would want to tackle this video topic, though. Do you think you would ever consider making a video talking about all the BB players that either were never nominated throughout the game (or came close to never being nominated in the game) but LOST the final 2 jury vote - or would have lost the final 2 jury vote if they made it.
    A few examples of BB players that would fit this description would be:
    Danielle - BB3
    Paul - BB19
    Holly (almost) - BB21
    Enzo - BB22
    and maybe even... uggghh... Todrick BBC3......
    And if you are looking at BBCAN, you also have:
    Jillian (sorta) - BBCAN1
    Anthony - BBCAN7
    and (almost) Haleena - BBCAN10
    I don't know. I just think it's curious how a lot of these players can go through many weeks in the game without being nominated, but still not be able to get any respect from the jury.

Or have a season where Pandoras Box comes back, but for the ENTIRE house, whoever opens it unleashes a new challenge. Whoever wins becomes co HOH but with only one nominee each. The POV can't switch that HOHs nominee unless they win POV. Just something that can amp up the game
