I think it's two things: 1) if several people on the cast have twins, if the original twin pair chosen has to back out last minute, they can bring in a different twin who's already been through the audition process as an alternate, and 2) if two people on the cast are openly talking about being twins, it both puts the idea of identical twins in the players minds, but also makes them doubt themselves/think they're being paranoid about the actual twin-switching. It's both a clue about the twin switching *and* a way to make people doubt their own intuition about twin switching being on the table.
You know you’re an Ethan stan when… he says “… but at the same time I also don’t care.” I feel you, my dude! Ethanimale is never wrong… I said what I said 🤷🏻♂️
I think the producers had the second veto planned in BB14 from the start but didn’t solidify when exactly they’d unleash it so they could kind of float it around to hopefully help a production favorite
I also think the veto was always planned like you said, but my conspiracy therory is that Ians Veto was supposed to be used 2nd but they changed it for the Dan removal and Brittney blindside drama. In my memory for BBUS and BBCan the Veto competition Veto is always used first if there is a 2nd veto in play, but this is the only instance I can think of that it was used first with the logic of it being won first.
You know, I've actually heard something interesting in regards to the BB15 week 4 MVP, though for obvious reasons I can't confirm the accuracy of it. I've heard somewhere that the viewers actually DIDN'T mess up the MVP vote, but instead that Aaryn got the most votes, but when she was nominated normally, the 2nd place vote getter was 3rd nommed instead, which happened to be Elissa
Yes, this is obviously what happened, but the America nominating Elissa because they didn't understand the rules story is funny, so people keep repeating it.
This is true, Julie said so in the show. if I recall correctly, Elissa was actually the third highest vote getter but of the top two one was HOH and one was nominated already
Not sure if this is a hot take, but BB15 switching up the MVP twist in the fourth week was ingenious! Because so much paranoia surfaced from that, especially after the blunder where Elissa got nominated, making Aaryn the new suspected MVP by the house. It also lead to a lot of suspicions about Judd playing a lot of people, resulting in his shocking, brutal DE exit, so...I see a lot of positives from the outcome actually, in spite of the treatment many people still got from the other HGs during that stage of the competition, and the rest of the game for that matter. Also Aaryn sucks. Everyone already knows this, but there's no harm in repeating it, and any misery she gets, no matter the reason, is fine by me!
I also think it was fun for them to switch it up because it created this giant paranoia blender inside the house. But at the same time, I don't necessarily love the intentional mislead by production. It feels a little bit unfair to the players, but at the end of the day I really don't care that much because it was BB15
@@Ethanimale Video topic idea... College shirt representation: Why BB/production allowed them, a tally of every college over the seasons, why it ended ( last from memory is bb21 Cliff and Holly)? Maybe local hometown type shirts too?
@@raheemfielder-bey998I mean the problem there is that you can’t just downplay a plethora of bigotry like what we saw this season. Yes from a gameplay standpoint this season is great but the bigotry brings it down a lot and there is no way to avoid that fact. Frankly I would much rather watch a season like 23 because even though the gameplay was less exciting I was way more invested in the cast overall! Plus the cast didn’t have any truly problematic people on it!
I say Jasmine touched because her second foot slipped on the peg too which means she would have been holding all her weight with arms which is very tough to do on a peg wall
Shelly on BB17 also had a twin, so I think production casted her with that in mind Edit:: Jeff too, funnily enough he was already part of the Amazing Race twist lol
So I'm not convinced that the viewers made a mistake with the MVP vote in BB15. Alyssa was the most polarizing person in the house; most fans either loved her or hated her. So when everyone is voting for their favorite person to get a power, she will get the most votes. BUT, when they are voting for their least favorite player to get punished, there is a very good chance she STILL gets the most votes.
What actually happened was that one of the initial nominees I believe it was Aaryn received a serious majority of vote >78% and As she was already nominated, Elissa’s minority like 12% got her nominated
Personally, I don't think Jasmine's foot touched the ground. Something about the angle of the sole of her shoes in proportion to how far she was from the floor makes me think she came close, but didn't actually touch.
There's a bit more there. Allegedly, Michie had an eating disorder, and when he was forced to eat slop, he obviously wasn't eating as much. This was causing a potential relapse of the eating disorder, so to avoid starving himself, Michie snuck food and ate it. Production found out about the eating and the eating disorder, and saw the real danger of forcing Michie to be on slop, so they canceled have nots. Eating disorders are the most deadly mental illness, so it's serious. Now I can't confirm this info, but considering how people defended Michie despite how hated he was, it leads me to believe that it's true. No viewer was going to spread that lie to make him look better.
I never heard people claiming production made the end game more physical for Michie but I definitely remember the controversy about him getting hints because he misread the clue
The next conspiracy will be in BB25 I guess, when Cirie will be in danger of going home. BB25 is all about her. I bet the producers will do everything to save her.
6:14 she touched the floor 😭😭😭 (& how she hurts her ankle is a conspiracy as well…) 😂 and BB21 was just other worldly lopsided physical comp wise, not rigged .
It absolutely did. The top of her foot touched a piece of red confetti. I suspect production decided their *whole* foot had to touch the ground for it to count.
You don't put 2 veto comps in the week that your star player is about to go home. Production was fooling no one here. There is simply no way this wasn't a hail mary by production to save Dan. This was an unprecendented move, as they had never done this move for anyone in the thirteen seasons prior.
It's actually that Michie has/had an eating disorder, and being forced on slop was causing a relapse, so he ate normal food. Production saw the fuck up and dropped have nots. It's a similar story to why they swapped from peanut butter and jam sandwiches to slop. PB&Js do not give you enough nutrition for it to be a safe punishment, and so they swapped to slop which is gross but nutritional.
Some rebuttals/addons to two: I remember while BB14 was airing that there was this theory that production was really pushing certain results because Jenn was asked to enter the DR and was there for a LONG time (After she won the Veto) and supposedly left upset/in tears, which many people speculated was after producers pushed her to save Dan. It was around that time people started to question some of the twists that Big Brother was using (BB11, BB13, and BB14 were really suspicious with them). With Michie's season, I remember a lot of peopel were upset because he was breaking several slop rules and didn't seem to be punished as severly as other people did which made a lot of people angry that he seemed to have been favored.
Michie breaking slop rules was apparently because he had struggled with an eating disorder, and his diet being limited to slop was causing a relapse, so production, not wanting to punish someone for coping with an eating disorder, let it slide. It's similar to how in season 9, there was a medical emergency that required a player to drink water, but due to a lost competition, the house has things like cups taken away. Production saw that the decision led to a major problem, and corrected it. Tho Michie and his eating disorder aren't confirmed. But considering how hated he was, and how people were defending his rule breaking because of an alleged eating disorder, I think it has some credit.
Let's not forget that they also kept Jenn and Britney apart in the last couple of hours leading up the veto meeting, so that Britney could not convince Jenn to not use it on Dan. If Jenn doesn't use it, the Funeral doesn't work, and production wasn't having that. So, credit is given to production for helping Dan's Funeral go through.
@@RippedfromVHS Thanks, I actually wasn't sure what the 100%, it's just a single rumor I heard about Jenn going inside the Dr and coming out teary for no reason.
@@TheMarshmallowBear Jenn crying on the feeds is true - I'll have to dig it up. Britney being in the DR up until that veto meeting is also on the feed reports as well.
Having worked in an arcade in college, I will say that claw machines are one of the easiest things in an arcade to "rig," as the strength of the claw can be adjusted on every claw machine out there, so BB producers could have rigged it for Dan and nobody else to win it, if they wanted to
I think (and I say this even as a huge fan of Dan) that one must consider that production could have “rigged” (for lack of a less blunt term) the week to save Dan without tailoring that extra Veto comp to him. The plan anyway, which was the most efficient move for the Quack Pack to move forward as an alliance, was for Britney or Shane to win and take off Dan or Danielle so that they control the votes and can send Jenn or Joe out.
The top of her foot made contact with a piece of red confetti. I suspect the producers decided at the last second that someone's entire foot had to touch the floor to count.
I honestly think that the true story behind the Elissa MVP thing is that by week 4, everyone went from liking her for being related to Rachel, to hating her for being annoying and stupid.
An even better conspiracy theory would be what if Drew and Diane's twins WERE secretly playing??!? Haha, but no really, if you do a 4.0, you should include the mysterious red ball in Jameka's tube in BB8 and the Maggie story about the hospital she works at in BB6.
He didn't even know about the horrible racist comment Ivette made to Kaysar in BB6. Ethan doesn't seem clued in much on the early seasons that don't include Will.
@@ninedaysjane2466 I believe he first got into BB around season 16, then went back and watched the earlier ones. So he is MUCH more familiar with modern BB, but he still knows a lot about earlier ones. Or at least more than most people, and enough to have a good channel.
@@ninedaysjane2466 Also, he does seem to overrate Will. I think the Dr. would have very little success in the game if he were an average looking guy, and that's always been a huge red flag for me.
Looking at the Jasmine footage in slo-mo, there is NO WAY her foot touched. You don't even see the floor move or change, when it should have because it's soft and covered by cloth. Also, when her foot stops you can tell it is waaay too high up to have just touched the floor. Maybe my eyes are stupid but that's what I saw. Anyways, great vid Ethan!
NO WAY, huh? I just watched it last night. The TOP of her foot touched a piece of red confetti. The producers probably decided that her whole foot didn't technically touch the ground, so the win was good.
Another thing about Drew and Diane having identical twins during bb5 Shelli AND Jeff both had identical twins on bb17 so it could have been possible that they also had alternate twins that could have been on the season instead of Liz and Julia
It would be a hard case to win. She jumped on someone's back and pretended to ride him like a horse. That's not reasonable behavior for a court to see BB as liable. But it's America where you can sue anyone for any reason and win. I think she came back because she wasn't entirely hated from season 19, and her personality and lifestyle was about being a strong competitor, but was crippled and unable to compete that way, so once she healed she was brought back. Tho at the same time, I think All Stars 2 had a very weak pool to pull from in terms of players wanting to play. They scrapped the bottom of the barrel.
It would be cool if BB put twins in the house and didn't tell the viewers and let us figure it out on our own. For example, noticing different behavior, mannerisms, etc.
and interesting conspiracy theory about the current season: filming shenanigans in the hearing competition. it is theorized that Matt's turn in the competition that involved hearing clues was actually filmed twice in order to cover up how badly he struggled with it and that it may have been a lie that he struggled because he didn't know the word tuba. and that they may have all been filmed twice and the earphones were given during the redo. and that the reason they only showed the top three times instead of showing all of them was to further cover up how long Matt took. they have continue the trend this season of only showing the top three times in timed competitions but that may be to make it look less suspicious. this is the first season ever where they didn't show all of the times after a timed competition.
There were so many theories about comps and comp wins - I remember speculation that the veto Amy won in BB3 was mostly designed for her. And then the second half of the BB7 F3 HOH comp was very much upper body strength, which Boogie (or Will if he had stayed) would have more of an advantage in. And of course the infamous HOH redo Janelle won in BB7. I remember all the people who never could believe Shelley voted for Rachel to win BB13, although Shelley was never a big Porsche fan either. One fun conspiracy recently was about whether Cory said he voted to evicted Jag instead of Red and if this was cleaned up.
Hey I have a new video or series idea. I know that you have a series where so and so won big brother here’s my idea. How about how you make a video on how somebody DID NOT win the season. For example, Janelle, she was a really good player but she lost. You can go into mistakes made and dumb moves. I feel like it would be a great video. (You do not have to do Janelle that’s just an example.)
"More identical"? Drew and Ben are exact duplicates of each other. The more likely answer is that Diane and Drew's twins couldn't fake the other's personality well enough. And the top of Jasmine's foot did touch a piece of red confetti. I just watched it yesterday. The physical comp "trend" isn't a trend. Physical comps (and I count endurance comps as physical) constituted the majority of challenges until around S12i-14ish. Janelle won a lot of challenges because she was smart and athletic. I remember people being surprised Ian was good at the physical challenges because he didn't look like someone who would be. I'm no superfan, but you focus heavily on the seasons you've seen live and not so much on the ones you haven't.
God, imagine making it through an obstacle course all the way and then twisting your ankle LEAVING it. D: Ow! (also if the last one is true, that's really funny)
Im pretty sure that girl foot did touch the ground, or she has much more upper body strength than she appears to have. When her foot appears to touch the ground, her orher foot goes up and above the ledge, almost like her foot hit the floor and she jumped up.
About the twin thing... we've seen production really commit hard to certain cast tropes no matter how expensive or unrealistic it is. As we know Shelly on BB17 had a twin so she was definitely casted for that backup. On a similar note, Jun's ex was casted last minute on season 4. Janelle's partner on BB6 was literally the 7th person on her list because production already flew out the first 6 people to casting and decided not to go with them. April and Jennifer barely knew each other beyond first names and happening to share a workspace at one point.
For Jasmine, I think whatever way they called it initially was always going to be the way it stayed. In football terms, there’s “not enough evidence to overturn” it and/or it’s “too close to call” so (even though I think she touched) it would have been ruled “stands as called”. TL;DR if production ruled that she touched they would have stayed with that.
The producers tried to make competitions harder for Mickey, so they didn’t have a problem on their hands if you won the game because of the controversial things he has done
There's a conspiracy theory running around in the Big Brother community that Ethanimale secretly is targetting TurtleTCP because of his outstanding ideas being too smart for his game. In order for him to keep his reputation, he needs to rank every BB eviction or else he'll be out.
I 100000000% would rather have seen drew and his twin over adria and Natalie. Or diane and her twin. But yeah i agree it probably was bc they werent as identical. Also good idea keeping them on the show bc it kind of hinted at the twin theme lol
7:00 You can actually very clearly tell her foot didn't touch the ground when you slowmo it. Her foot is dangling and shaking left to right very quickly. At no point does it stop like it would if she touched the ground. It was in air the entire time, and in the first frame of being able to see the bottom of her foot you can still clearly tell that there's several inches between it and the floor, more than the inch or two she lifted herself back up
I know production interferes a lot in BB, but in the Ellissa Veto competition, if they really wanted to fix America's "mistake" they would have just ignored the votes and refuse to nomiate her. That makes way more sense to me then them staking a side of the competition when it's arguable that she would be the one finding them. I'm also not convinced it was a mistake. Aaryn got like 80% of the votes, but was already on the block so it moved to Ellisa with like 10% or something, but she also was very polarizing iirc. I know I didn't like her and getting MVP 3 times in a row and not being a really good player was annoying to watch.
for the first one, wasn't the Pandora's Box question mark placed in the machine the week before the ball was released? If that's true than the 1st one instantly becomes way more unbelievable I won't rule anything out, but if I'm remembering right, than idk how valid this theory can continue For context, Ian got a Diary Room session about noticing the ? in the claw machine so that's how we'd know.
This is a theory I have. So I think in recent years that production rigs competitions and power wins when a player gets injured. Think about it every time someone gets injured they win the very next competition. Take Jasmine from last season for example (which I honestly think she faked the injury so she could move on to the next round when her foot may have touched the ground, that fall looked so fake in my opinion) the next round of that HOH was a pie eating competition, something that she’s good at. Here’s another example Christmas from season 19, she got hurt and had to have surgery done and she won the next temptation power. This is just a theory I have and nothing more, I don’t have any evidence other than what’s been shown on the show and keep in mind I’ve only been watching the show since season 16 so there could be examples of this not being the case but it’s definitely something I’ve noticed since I started watching the show
Uhh you’re saying this bitch had a leg scooter and had 0 chance in like half the comps(OTEV stands out) so she could become the 2nd HOH over the other members of Old School, Girls Girls and whatever the 3rd one was and when the only plan for that week was to evict Taylor
In regards to Dan's second Veto: Claw machines are incredibly easy to rig, as in they come built in with a function to win after a specific number of attempts. Seriously, the owner can set the payout rate to whatever number they want, and only after that many attempts will the machine stop purposely dropping the prizes. You can go to an arcade, wait until someone wins, then count the number of attempts until the next win, then wait until that number comes up again and play on that attempt and guarantee a win. That's all to say, if production wanted to rig a veto for Dan, and put the veto in a claw machine, Dan would have won. In addition, I've heard the Alison Grodner is a huge Frank fan and wanted him to win in both his seasons. So if that's true, things would have been rigged for him. Also, if a mechanic like Pandora's Box comes back, production should tell the auidence what the sequence of twists will be ahead of time to dispell any rigging.
The way I see it with jasmine.. her foot may (or may not) have touched the ground.. but its very clear that she put no weight on it like had she been higher up the wall, she wouldn't have fallen off. So Im not all that worried about it lol if she like pushed off the ground or something it would be a different story imo
Jasmine's isn't even a debate. Her foot absolutely touches the ground. Notice how when her foot seems to touch the ground offscreen, her right foot momentarily lifts off its step before she pulls herself back up. Assuming her foot didn't touch the ground, Jasmine would need to be holding her entire bodyweight up with just her arms for that moment, and essentially performing a pull-up to recover back to the steps. Not to doubt Jasmine's upper body strength, but judging by the speed of that recovery, plus her overall physical display over the course of the season, it's pretty clear to me that there's no way in hell she didn't kick her foot off the ground there.
I think it’s way too judgmental to say that Jasmine wouldn’t be able to do a singular pull up in the middle of a high adrenaline speed based competition And we really have no good idea of her physicality, she got injured week 2 and the only comps she played before that was the port a potty one and she wasn’t selected for her veto that week. Like there’s no real moments that indicate she’d be too weak to do a single pull up
@@XanderMatthews-nv9zf It's not "judgmental." 🙄 Jasmine struggled throughout the comp and had to restart at least once. Those are "real moments" (and the fact that she was top heavy) that indicate she wouldn't do well in physical comps that favor the lean, athletic types. She was up against the oldest person there, who was also overweight and had to restart. The top of her foot touched a piece of red confetti. Production probably decided that since her whole foot didn't make contact with the ground, her win was legitimate.
I never bought BB was trying to rig it for Jackson to win. For one thing, why? Jackson is literally no one a random college student who not one soul would even know existed if BB hadn't casted him. Why would they want to rig it for him to win? Not to mention if they were intent on him winning why give him villain edit. People claimed he got a sweetheard edit but everyone who I knew who never followed the feeds hated him. Pepople just felt that since the entire show was not devoted to every signle thing he did wrong so the world woul;d despite the fact he breathed as much as they did he got some sweetheard edit. He definitely did not look good even going off the edited episodes alone. And then Julie gave him the question of if he was racist, which he clearly was not even warned was coming given his reaction literally minutes before his announcement tainting his win and taking all the wind out of his sails and making the last thing people heard was accusations he was racist. THAT is how they treated the production darling? I know BB is shady a lot and some times clearly does interfere but fans get on this habit of whenever they don't like the direction something is going calling it rigged for no reason other than they don't like what is happening.
BB22 Casting Theory: Part I: BB18 Jury Funny Business Production tipped the odds for Nicole in the jury by having Paulie, someone Nicole has admitted to knowing before BB18 via his brother Cody, who shared a season with Nicole, telling Natalie about Paul supposedly calling her a bitch, and telling the rest of the jury about his family's wealth. Paul directly hints at this in Season 19 when he tells most of the BB19 cast that they made points about his family's wealth in jury and how it was weird they knew about that considering there's no internet access in Big Brother. th-cam.com/video/hndK73WumNk/w-d-xo.html Part II: Blackmail Janelle finds out about this funny business in one of two ways. Either A, Paul told her, and when Janelle confronted production about this, they admitted this to her. Or B, an anonymous whistleblower in production told her. This gives a very dark answer to the everlasting question of the origin of the Janelle-Nicole F feud. In response to this, Janelle blackmails production by making them recruit Kaysar for All Stars and giving her the full cast list for Season 22, or else she would expose them publicly. This would also explain how Janelle got that cast list on the remote while in quarantine right before Season 22, which she's mentioned several times on both Twitter and interviews. Part III: Production Strikes Back In retaliation, production tells Nicole F about this, which would explain why she seemed so paranoid of Janelle during Season 22. Production also made sure not to put any more pairs in the cast, to intentionally make Janelle and Kaysar the biggest targets in the house, which was successful. This also would explain why pretty much nobody on this cast with the exception of Kaysar and maybe Ian really had any pregame connections with Janelle, and why people like Rachel, Vanessa, Britney, Andy, or even Dan weren't called for All Stars. Finally, this also explains why a vast majority of the house wanted to target Janelle and Kaysar from Night 1.
No, there was a lot of pregaming once players started being asked for All Stars. Derrick was contacted by Danielle asking if he was playing, and Derrick already knew Cody was selected, so Derrick connected the two. That's a confirmed instance. Everyone was pregaming except Janelle and Kaysar because they're old school players who aren't as connected as the modern BB alumni.
My mom said this about Jackson win! The dude won so many competitions in BB 21! If he get to the final two he beat everyone! Mot because I like him but because he earned it!
I agree I don’t like Aaron either but it’s just a suggestion I have heard BB21 was staged I heard that from my sister don’t know if it’s true also love your videos about this topic there amazing
You’d think they’d have made that season better if it was staged, 2/3 powers weren’t used, Gr8ful were all a-holes and fan favorites Nicole and Cliff losing to Jackson is absolutely not something you’d want to cap off your season It definitely wasn’t staged 🙄

When her foot is at it's lowest point, it doesn't come to a complete stop.
I just watched it yesterday. The top of her foot touched a piece of red confetti.
Is it bad that Michie flipping out brings me so much joy?😂 10:10
I laughed and smiled so hard!
How about the theory that Jackson Miche’s secret watermelon eating caused production to eliminate have nots for that season?
There's a bit more there. Allegedly, Michie had an eating disorder, and when he was forced to eat slop, he obviously wasn't eating as much. This was causing a potential relapse of the eating disorder, so to avoid starving himself, Michie snuck food and ate it.
Production found out about the eating and the eating disorder, and saw the real danger of forcing Michie to be on slop, so they canceled have nots. Eating disorders are the most deadly mental illness, so it's serious.
Now I can't confirm this info, but considering how people defended Michie despite how hated he was, it leads me to believe that it's true. No viewer was going to spread that lie to make him look better.
I never heard people claiming production made the end game more physical for Michie but I definitely remember the controversy about him getting hints because he misread the clue
The next conspiracy will be in BB25 I guess, when Cirie will be in danger of going home. BB25 is all about her. I bet the producers will do everything to save her.
You’re correct, if Cirie or Jared win this season I’m done watching this show
Bb zombies gives her and jared a week to rebuild relationships
Bro was INCORRECT
6:14 she touched the floor 😭😭😭 (& how she hurts her ankle is a conspiracy as well…) 😂 and BB21 was just other worldly lopsided physical comp wise, not rigged .
jasmine’s foot DEFINITELY touched the ground idc what anyone says
It absolutely did. The top of her foot touched a piece of red confetti. I suspect production decided their *whole* foot had to touch the ground for it to count.
You don't put 2 veto comps in the week that your star player is about to go home. Production was fooling no one here. There is simply no way this wasn't a hail mary by production to save Dan. This was an unprecendented move, as they had never done this move for anyone in the thirteen seasons prior.
Always good waking up to a new Ethanimale video!
Day 4: I’m glad you talked about Christmas playing in that competition in bb19 because that was total bs to me
How about BB ignoring Jackson's have not violations? He would eat food in the shower. They even dropped the have nots for the summer because of this.
It's actually that Michie has/had an eating disorder, and being forced on slop was causing a relapse, so he ate normal food. Production saw the fuck up and dropped have nots.
It's a similar story to why they swapped from peanut butter and jam sandwiches to slop. PB&Js do not give you enough nutrition for it to be a safe punishment, and so they swapped to slop which is gross but nutritional.
Some rebuttals/addons to two:
I remember while BB14 was airing that there was this theory that production was really pushing certain results because Jenn was asked to enter the DR and was there for a LONG time (After she won the Veto) and supposedly left upset/in tears, which many people speculated was after producers pushed her to save Dan. It was around that time people started to question some of the twists that Big Brother was using (BB11, BB13, and BB14 were really suspicious with them).
With Michie's season, I remember a lot of peopel were upset because he was breaking several slop rules and didn't seem to be punished as severly as other people did which made a lot of people angry that he seemed to have been favored.
Michie breaking slop rules was apparently because he had struggled with an eating disorder, and his diet being limited to slop was causing a relapse, so production, not wanting to punish someone for coping with an eating disorder, let it slide.
It's similar to how in season 9, there was a medical emergency that required a player to drink water, but due to a lost competition, the house has things like cups taken away. Production saw that the decision led to a major problem, and corrected it.
Tho Michie and his eating disorder aren't confirmed. But considering how hated he was, and how people were defending his rule breaking because of an alleged eating disorder, I think it has some credit.
@@aspiringgirl4422 Get them water! WE DONT HAVE ANY CUPS! My god that will always stick with me because of how insanely ridiculous it is.
Let's not forget that they also kept Jenn and Britney apart in the last couple of hours leading up the veto meeting, so that Britney could not convince Jenn to not use it on Dan. If Jenn doesn't use it, the Funeral doesn't work, and production wasn't having that. So, credit is given to production for helping Dan's Funeral go through.
@@RippedfromVHS Thanks, I actually wasn't sure what the 100%, it's just a single rumor I heard about Jenn going inside the Dr and coming out teary for no reason.
@@TheMarshmallowBear Jenn crying on the feeds is true - I'll have to dig it up. Britney being in the DR up until that veto meeting is also on the feed reports as well.
fans made the accusation that season 16 had fewer endurance competitions to rig it for Frankie
Having worked in an arcade in college, I will say that claw machines are one of the easiest things in an arcade to "rig," as the strength of the claw can be adjusted on every claw machine out there, so BB producers could have rigged it for Dan and nobody else to win it, if they wanted to
Please cover the weird Cory voting Jag conspiracy bc it’s so popular rn
Jasmine definitely never hurt her ankle
😂" Because I simply don't like Aaryn!"
OAN, why was this aired 1hr ago with 3 months comments?🧐
I think (and I say this even as a huge fan of Dan) that one must consider that production could have “rigged” (for lack of a less blunt term) the week to save Dan without tailoring that extra Veto comp to him. The plan anyway, which was the most efficient move for the Quack Pack to move forward as an alliance, was for Britney or Shane to win and take off Dan or Danielle so that they control the votes and can send Jenn or Joe out.
She didn't touch the floor. The confetti is still moving when she's lifting her leg, meaning the air was indeed moving
The top of her foot made contact with a piece of red confetti. I suspect the producers decided at the last second that someone's entire foot had to touch the floor to count.
it’s always a good day when ethan uploads
That Marvin clip made this whole video. He needs to be back on Big Brother
I honestly think that the true story behind the Elissa MVP thing is that by week 4, everyone went from liking her for being related to Rachel, to hating her for being annoying and stupid.
An even better conspiracy theory would be what if Drew and Diane's twins WERE secretly playing??!? Haha, but no really, if you do a 4.0, you should include the mysterious red ball in Jameka's tube in BB8 and the Maggie story about the hospital she works at in BB6.
He didn't even know about the horrible racist comment Ivette made to Kaysar in BB6. Ethan doesn't seem clued in much on the early seasons that don't include Will.
@@ninedaysjane2466 I believe he first got into BB around season 16, then went back and watched the earlier ones. So he is MUCH more familiar with modern BB, but he still knows a lot about earlier ones. Or at least more than most people, and enough to have a good channel.
@@ninedaysjane2466 Also, he does seem to overrate Will. I think the Dr. would have very little success in the game if he were an average looking guy, and that's always been a huge red flag for me.
Looking at the Jasmine footage in slo-mo, there is NO WAY her foot touched. You don't even see the floor move or change, when it should have because it's soft and covered by cloth. Also, when her foot stops you can tell it is waaay too high up to have just touched the floor.
Maybe my eyes are stupid but that's what I saw. Anyways, great vid Ethan!
NO WAY, huh? I just watched it last night. The TOP of her foot touched a piece of red confetti. The producers probably decided that her whole foot didn't technically touch the ground, so the win was good.
Another thing about Drew and Diane having identical twins during bb5 Shelli AND Jeff both had identical twins on bb17 so it could have been possible that they also had alternate twins that could have been on the season instead of Liz and Julia
My Theory: Christmas was brought back for “All Stars 2” because she threatened to sue after she broke her ankle
It would be a hard case to win. She jumped on someone's back and pretended to ride him like a horse. That's not reasonable behavior for a court to see BB as liable. But it's America where you can sue anyone for any reason and win.
I think she came back because she wasn't entirely hated from season 19, and her personality and lifestyle was about being a strong competitor, but was crippled and unable to compete that way, so once she healed she was brought back.
Tho at the same time, I think All Stars 2 had a very weak pool to pull from in terms of players wanting to play. They scrapped the bottom of the barrel.
It would be cool if BB put twins in the house and didn't tell the viewers and let us figure it out on our own. For example, noticing different behavior, mannerisms, etc.
and interesting conspiracy theory about the current season: filming shenanigans in the hearing competition. it is theorized that Matt's turn in the competition that involved hearing clues was actually filmed twice in order to cover up how badly he struggled with it and that it may have been a lie that he struggled because he didn't know the word tuba. and that they may have all been filmed twice and the earphones were given during the redo. and that the reason they only showed the top three times instead of showing all of them was to further cover up how long Matt took. they have continue the trend this season of only showing the top three times in timed competitions but that may be to make it look less suspicious. this is the first season ever where they didn't show all of the times after a timed competition.
There were so many theories about comps and comp wins - I remember speculation that the veto Amy won in BB3 was mostly designed for her. And then the second half of the BB7 F3 HOH comp was very much upper body strength, which Boogie (or Will if he had stayed) would have more of an advantage in. And of course the infamous HOH redo Janelle won in BB7.
I remember all the people who never could believe Shelley voted for Rachel to win BB13, although Shelley was never a big Porsche fan either.
One fun conspiracy recently was about whether Cory said he voted to evicted Jag instead of Red and if this was cleaned up.
This series is great
Hey I have a new video or series idea. I know that you have a series where so and so won big brother here’s my idea.
How about how you make a video on how somebody DID NOT win the season. For example, Janelle, she was a really good player but she lost.
You can go into mistakes made and dumb moves. I feel like it would be a great video. (You do not have to do Janelle that’s just an example.)
I’ve thought about doing this, but I definitely want to tackle more winners first before I start looking at other players
@@Ethanimalealright 👍
I need to rewatch bb 5, Marvin cracks me up 😂
Claw was the master. Claw chose who would go and who would stay.
"More identical"? Drew and Ben are exact duplicates of each other. The more likely answer is that Diane and Drew's twins couldn't fake the other's personality well enough. And the top of Jasmine's foot did touch a piece of red confetti. I just watched it yesterday. The physical comp "trend" isn't a trend. Physical comps (and I count endurance comps as physical) constituted the majority of challenges until around S12i-14ish. Janelle won a lot of challenges because she was smart and athletic. I remember people being surprised Ian was good at the physical challenges because he didn't look like someone who would be. I'm no superfan, but you focus heavily on the seasons you've seen live and not so much on the ones you haven't.
can u cover some of the stuff zach said from bb16 that was rigged, he did a vid with kat explaining all of it
God, imagine making it through an obstacle course all the way and then twisting your ankle LEAVING it. D: Ow!
(also if the last one is true, that's really funny)
Elissa being nominated Week 4 will always be peak comedy
Actually, it's been confirmed by the show that Jasmine DID touch the ground and that they let it slide because they realized it too late.
Another great video. I am now re-watching big brother 14 lol
Im pretty sure that girl foot did touch the ground, or she has much more upper body strength than she appears to have. When her foot appears to touch the ground, her orher foot goes up and above the ledge, almost like her foot hit the floor and she jumped up.
"Do I think this theory is true? Possibly, but consider this: I don't care."
I think Jazmin did touch the floor n she knew, so she sprained her ankle on purpose😂
U need to do BB25 Cory voting out Red but his mouth saying Jag
Every season has its own controversy
About the twin thing... we've seen production really commit hard to certain cast tropes no matter how expensive or unrealistic it is. As we know Shelly on BB17 had a twin so she was definitely casted for that backup. On a similar note, Jun's ex was casted last minute on season 4. Janelle's partner on BB6 was literally the 7th person on her list because production already flew out the first 6 people to casting and decided not to go with them. April and Jennifer barely knew each other beyond first names and happening to share a workspace at one point.
I like the conspiracy theory that Diane's twin played BB7 and that is why she flopped 😂
Helen was pushed!
For Jasmine, I think whatever way they called it initially was always going to be the way it stayed. In football terms, there’s “not enough evidence to overturn” it and/or it’s “too close to call” so (even though I think she touched) it would have been ruled “stands as called”.
TL;DR if production ruled that she touched they would have stayed with that.
Rachel s12 was told by Production to leave the pretzel message so the show gets their big TV moment with the Diamond Veto
Father Dan, at it again
The producers tried to make competitions harder for Mickey, so they didn’t have a problem on their hands if you won the game because of the controversial things he has done
Speaking of Season 5, is there a Drew Winner Video in the plans?
A BBCan season 1 contestant says she thinks Topaz voted Jillian to win on purpose….
Whatever happened to Drew? Underrated winner
The last I heard he was arrested on a domestic violence charge against his male partner.
Players NEVER declined Pandora's box. Coincidence?
I still think that the Miche and Holly ping pong HOHs were planned ....somehow. I'll keep digging for proof. LOL
Bless Marvin
There's a conspiracy theory running around in the Big Brother community that Ethanimale secretly is targetting TurtleTCP because of his outstanding ideas being too smart for his game. In order for him to keep his reputation, he needs to rank every BB eviction or else he'll be out.
I 100000000% would rather have seen drew and his twin over adria and Natalie. Or diane and her twin. But yeah i agree it probably was bc they werent as identical. Also good idea keeping them on the show bc it kind of hinted at the twin theme lol
7:00 You can actually very clearly tell her foot didn't touch the ground when you slowmo it. Her foot is dangling and shaking left to right very quickly. At no point does it stop like it would if she touched the ground. It was in air the entire time, and in the first frame of being able to see the bottom of her foot you can still clearly tell that there's several inches between it and the floor, more than the inch or two she lifted herself back up
I know production interferes a lot in BB, but in the Ellissa Veto competition, if they really wanted to fix America's "mistake" they would have just ignored the votes and refuse to nomiate her. That makes way more sense to me then them staking a side of the competition when it's arguable that she would be the one finding them. I'm also not convinced it was a mistake. Aaryn got like 80% of the votes, but was already on the block so it moved to Ellisa with like 10% or something, but she also was very polarizing iirc. I know I didn't like her and getting MVP 3 times in a row and not being a really good player was annoying to watch.
If the twin twist conspiracy is true wouldn’t that mean Drew and Diane knew about the twist going into the house?
Can we get some survivor conspiracies?
Can you do more what if videos or what if the runner up won the HOH competition
What about Luke and Duke 😂
I have a conspiracy theory did Cory vote Jag in week 4?
Jasmine touched the ground. Come on. Obviously, they gave it to her because of the injury. She touched the ground, lol
for the first one, wasn't the Pandora's Box question mark placed in the machine the week before the ball was released? If that's true than the 1st one instantly becomes way more unbelievable
I won't rule anything out, but if I'm remembering right, than idk how valid this theory can continue
For context, Ian got a Diary Room session about noticing the ? in the claw machine so that's how we'd know.
This is a theory I have. So I think in recent years that production rigs competitions and power wins when a player gets injured. Think about it every time someone gets injured they win the very next competition. Take Jasmine from last season for example (which I honestly think she faked the injury so she could move on to the next round when her foot may have touched the ground, that fall looked so fake in my opinion) the next round of that HOH was a pie eating competition, something that she’s good at. Here’s another example Christmas from season 19, she got hurt and had to have surgery done and she won the next temptation power. This is just a theory I have and nothing more, I don’t have any evidence other than what’s been shown on the show and keep in mind I’ve only been watching the show since season 16 so there could be examples of this not being the case but it’s definitely something I’ve noticed since I started watching the show
Uhh you’re saying this bitch had a leg scooter and had 0 chance in like half the comps(OTEV stands out) so she could become the 2nd HOH over the other members of Old School, Girls Girls and whatever the 3rd one was and when the only plan for that week was to evict Taylor
As someone who has a terrible habit of rolling/spraining/twisting my ankles, the fall was legit.
Grateful for jasmines HOH bc we got blindside butterbeans
In regards to Dan's second Veto: Claw machines are incredibly easy to rig, as in they come built in with a function to win after a specific number of attempts.
Seriously, the owner can set the payout rate to whatever number they want, and only after that many attempts will the machine stop purposely dropping the prizes. You can go to an arcade, wait until someone wins, then count the number of attempts until the next win, then wait until that number comes up again and play on that attempt and guarantee a win.
That's all to say, if production wanted to rig a veto for Dan, and put the veto in a claw machine, Dan would have won.
In addition, I've heard the Alison Grodner is a huge Frank fan and wanted him to win in both his seasons. So if that's true, things would have been rigged for him.
Also, if a mechanic like Pandora's Box comes back, production should tell the auidence what the sequence of twists will be ahead of time to dispell any rigging.
The way I see it with jasmine.. her foot may (or may not) have touched the ground.. but its very clear that she put no weight on it like had she been higher up the wall, she wouldn't have fallen off. So Im not all that worried about it lol if she like pushed off the ground or something it would be a different story imo
Jasmine's isn't even a debate. Her foot absolutely touches the ground.
Notice how when her foot seems to touch the ground offscreen, her right foot momentarily lifts off its step before she pulls herself back up. Assuming her foot didn't touch the ground, Jasmine would need to be holding her entire bodyweight up with just her arms for that moment, and essentially performing a pull-up to recover back to the steps.
Not to doubt Jasmine's upper body strength, but judging by the speed of that recovery, plus her overall physical display over the course of the season, it's pretty clear to me that there's no way in hell she didn't kick her foot off the ground there.
I think it’s way too judgmental to say that Jasmine wouldn’t be able to do a singular pull up in the middle of a high adrenaline speed based competition
And we really have no good idea of her physicality, she got injured week 2 and the only comps she played before that was the port a potty one and she wasn’t selected for her veto that week.
Like there’s no real moments that indicate she’d be too weak to do a single pull up
@@XanderMatthews-nv9zf It's not "judgmental." 🙄 Jasmine struggled throughout the comp and had to restart at least once. Those are "real moments" (and the fact that she was top heavy) that indicate she wouldn't do well in physical comps that favor the lean, athletic types. She was up against the oldest person there, who was also overweight and had to restart. The top of her foot touched a piece of red confetti. Production probably decided that since her whole foot didn't make contact with the ground, her win was legitimate.
@@XanderMatthews-nv9zfhigh adrenaline? Seriously?
Please make another what if video
Production interference that benefits my fave>>>>
I think jasmine was a phony the whole time. I dont think her ankle was messed up as bad as she acted and i think her foot touched the ground.
😂 wtf is aaryn talking bout beside the 20 the racist had the bigger numbers
BB9 Hamster Question answer
I never bought BB was trying to rig it for Jackson to win. For one thing, why? Jackson is literally no one a random college student who not one soul would even know existed if BB hadn't casted him. Why would they want to rig it for him to win? Not to mention if they were intent on him winning why give him villain edit. People claimed he got a sweetheard edit but everyone who I knew who never followed the feeds hated him. Pepople just felt that since the entire show was not devoted to every signle thing he did wrong so the world woul;d despite the fact he breathed as much as they did he got some sweetheard edit. He definitely did not look good even going off the edited episodes alone. And then Julie gave him the question of if he was racist, which he clearly was not even warned was coming given his reaction literally minutes before his announcement tainting his win and taking all the wind out of his sails and making the last thing people heard was accusations he was racist. THAT is how they treated the production darling? I know BB is shady a lot and some times clearly does interfere but fans get on this habit of whenever they don't like the direction something is going calling it rigged for no reason other than they don't like what is happening.
BB22 Casting Theory:
Part I: BB18 Jury Funny Business
Production tipped the odds for Nicole in the jury by having Paulie, someone Nicole has admitted to knowing before BB18 via his brother Cody, who shared a season with Nicole, telling Natalie about Paul supposedly calling her a bitch, and telling the rest of the jury about his family's wealth. Paul directly hints at this in Season 19 when he tells most of the BB19 cast that they made points about his family's wealth in jury and how it was weird they knew about that considering there's no internet access in Big Brother. th-cam.com/video/hndK73WumNk/w-d-xo.html
Part II: Blackmail
Janelle finds out about this funny business in one of two ways. Either A, Paul told her, and when Janelle confronted production about this, they admitted this to her. Or B, an anonymous whistleblower in production told her. This gives a very dark answer to the everlasting question of the origin of the Janelle-Nicole F feud. In response to this, Janelle blackmails production by making them recruit Kaysar for All Stars and giving her the full cast list for Season 22, or else she would expose them publicly. This would also explain how Janelle got that cast list on the remote while in quarantine right before Season 22, which she's mentioned several times on both Twitter and interviews.
Part III: Production Strikes Back
In retaliation, production tells Nicole F about this, which would explain why she seemed so paranoid of Janelle during Season 22. Production also made sure not to put any more pairs in the cast, to intentionally make Janelle and Kaysar the biggest targets in the house, which was successful. This also would explain why pretty much nobody on this cast with the exception of Kaysar and maybe Ian really had any pregame connections with Janelle, and why people like Rachel, Vanessa, Britney, Andy, or even Dan weren't called for All Stars. Finally, this also explains why a vast majority of the house wanted to target Janelle and Kaysar from Night 1.
No, there was a lot of pregaming once players started being asked for All Stars. Derrick was contacted by Danielle asking if he was playing, and Derrick already knew Cody was selected, so Derrick connected the two. That's a confirmed instance.
Everyone was pregaming except Janelle and Kaysar because they're old school players who aren't as connected as the modern BB alumni.
Production FF Jackson Michie 😂
BB21 sucked.
My mom said this about Jackson win! The dude won so many competitions in BB 21! If he get to the final two he beat everyone! Mot because I like him but because he earned it!
Hello
I know this is the wrong video but #helenwaspushed #helendeservedbetter
I agree I don’t like Aaron either but it’s just a suggestion I have heard BB21 was staged I heard that from my sister don’t know if it’s true also love your videos about this topic there amazing
You’d think they’d have made that season better if it was staged, 2/3 powers weren’t used, Gr8ful were all a-holes and fan favorites Nicole and Cliff losing to Jackson is absolutely not something you’d want to cap off your season
It definitely wasn’t staged 🙄
