i was cool with the way this season was going, right up until the point where jag won hoh twice in a row. The power had been constantly shifting back and forth and the gameplay was very fluid. But then Jag was allowed to win hoh twice. Then it was a complete steamroll. Had that not happened, Cirie was the closest to winning hoh, and she would have put up Matt and Jag, Jag would have saved himself Bowie Jane would go up, amd Matt would have probably gone home, Bowie Jane would have won Next Week's Hoh, putting the power back into the hands of that duo, and getting rid of Matt. Felicia actually managed to be second place in the double eviction veto behind Matt, so Any of Blue America Cirie or even Jag could have gone. But instead we got a steamroll at the end which was SO dissappointing
no I do agree with that, zombie week stopped any momentum the season had, but the double HOH was where the season truly died, and that is complete incompetence of production
My point exactly yet therefore Red, and all these different media outlets claiming Cirie n Jared "HAD IT EASY" and were productions favorites was all complete fabrication Watching this season back to back.
My sister and I agree with you! This was the worst BB ever! PRODUCTION FAILED BIG TIME THIS YEAR! It felt like 3 rd. thru 5 th.grade POTTY HUMOR this year…….Loved your take on it!thank you for your Honesty.✨💗✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
5:42 I can speak on it, HE SHOULDVE SAID SOMETHING. I understand not wanting to look like the “angry black man” but he definitely should’ve checked him and not defend it
This is the first season of Big Brother I have ever watched, and the second DE veto made me so mad I started a spreadsheet to fill out as I go through and watch all the previous seasons to record all the comps, how many physical comps they have in each season, how long they devote to each comp, etc. I got that mad after 3 months. I can't imagine how mad the superfans who have been watching since day one
I'm surprised you didn't mention the freakin' rock-paper-scissors. Talk about the Final HoH having absolutely zero stakes. A shame because Part 2 seemed very difficult.
"matt has been the better player this whole entire time" is flat out incorrect. jag has been the decisionmaker and comp winner of the duo for like 65/100 days. majority of the people on the jury were closer to jag (blue/cory/america/bowie) speaking to his better social game - he straight up betrayed/took out cam using bowie's hoh - took out cory - then blue - then america - then cire (who was key to matt's game) - then felicia - then bowie - and still had a good relationship with them/owned up to his game for them to happily vote for him over matt
I disagree, being the person to win the comps does not mean you were the person pulling the strings, round after round, vote after vote, Matt was the one convincing jag what to do, when Cameron left, Matt convinced Jag, who both then convinced Bowie, when Cory left, Matt pushed Jag to do it, Blue was the target the whole time, America was Bowie blindly following the duo, I’ll give you Cirie and I think that’s a key factor to Jag’s win, but that is one out of the first 5 jurors. And then Jag took Matt to the end THINKING he was gonna lose and he said that himself. I just don’t agree with giving Jag all of this credit aside from winning all the endgame comps and was literally unable to be voted out, which he certainly would’ve if one comp didn’t go his way
The worst and best move of the season was Bowie jane turning on Cameron. Horrible move for her but she created the path for Matt and Jag to dominate the game so great move on there part to get her to do it
I feel exactly how you do about America and Corey! They were my favs. America was always smiling and friendly and Corey was the only man who was respectful to women! Loved your recap!
I can't get over FBJ with her big smile while Jag is telling her he is evicting her. She is smiling while being stunned as if she cannot process that she is actually being evicted. After never being on the block, she had the least traumatic eviction
Halfway though the season I saw BBUK was starting up. I’d never seen it. I was aware that the format is completely different..there isn’t really a strategy game, in fact it’s very frowned upon and the “live feeds” are shrunk down to a 3-5 hour stream every night. But BB25 was making me miserable, Izzy was gone, zombie week had just happened and the house was turning into the Mojo Dojo Casa House.. so I decided to give it a shot. AND holy shit. Just a complete breath of fresh air. I thought I would miss the feeds, the strategy part of the game, but no. I could literally write like a whole thesis about it. But the diversity was amazing, the fact that EVERYONE could equally participate in all the activities was great (there wwas a houseguest that uses a mobility scooter), the “showmance” is better than a fricken romance movie (I don’t even want to call it a showmance because they’re still together.) And then there’s Yinrun, literally the purest soul alive. BBUK was infinitely better than BB25 this year and I will die on that hill lol.
Even if the endgame had like, a little bit of intrigue I think this could’ve been better than a season 23, but nearly 2 months of the game had no change in the power structure, and I can’t justify it being higher despite the great start.
@@George-jr7vv i would agree, the only thing is the cookout dominated without winning every single comp, they had to overcome a lot of different people going into power to survive until they held the majority, which i enjoy more than 3 people winning every comp until the end of the game
hisam was a great addition for cirie's game. really huge and unforgivable mistake. definitely singular losing move for her. he was loyal, could win comps to keep her safe, and since he was a huge target he would just be one of her many shields. wtf jag is so handsome i forgive him for his bad gameplay.
Any move that kept Cameron in the game was a bad move for Cirie, it tarnished her numbers from the inside, and when the other side took power, she didn’t have anybody by her side that could win to take it back
Survivor 38 broke my Survivor fandom. I was already growing frustrated at the new-school game and the growing emphasis on idols, and especially the F4 firemaking (which killed the one "pure" round of Survivor there used to be). But Devens running through the season while not doing much socially/strategically, and everyone hyping him up as if he was the only person playing the game, was draining. I was waiting for him to inevitably win (as everyone who was reading the edit thought) and was dreading how much his winning game would be hyped, to the detriment of people who play socially like Lauren or Victoria on that season. Instead, when I went to watch the finale I accidentally spoiled myself by starting the reunion first. And I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw that Chris won a million dollars, and literally wondered if he might have won $1M in some alternate way other than winning the game. It was so incomprehensible to me that he could have won the game, and the more I went to watch the finale, the more frustrated I became. Chris got to go straight from the third boot to the final 6, and as if that weren't enough, a (split) idol handed to him by production. He was literally _greeting_ people for the first time, in a scenario where there only three rounds left until the final tribal council. The final 5 round had no genuine element of strategy, but instead had a tribal where literally everybody tried to play an idol, and the only thing that mattered was whose idols were real and whose weren't. Lauren wasn't voted out by a majority, but the social game had been so buried by the idol-game that it was an afterthought which people barely even noticed. Then we had the final firemaking challenge, for a million dollars, between not one but _two_ people who had previously been voted out. They had to have it in a new location (near the voting booth I think), which to me just underscored the absurdity of it. The final tribal council also really frustrated me; the fate of the finalists was in the hands of other people who had _lived with_ Chris, and who also had the same opportunity to come back into the game, inevitably biasing them towards thinking his game was legitimate. The "game was not on trial", even though what you thought of Chris' game was inevitably going to be tied into what you thought of someone who played 1/3 of the game being able to win. With all of that said, I got through season 39 but sort of half-heartedly, and I naturally did come back excited for season 40. But with the lull between 40 and 41, I've never really found it valuable to go and dig into the new era. I really don't like the modern game, and I've grown dissatisfied with the lack of feeds to give us all the information anyway, so I just haven't felt that it's worth it. On that note, I wonder what the long-term implications of BB25 will be for me. On one level, you can say that Jag's win isn't as bad as Chris' win, because Chris skipped _so many_ rounds of gameplay, while Jag didn't skip any, and his twist really wasn't that different from many other twists, which saved people who otherwise would have been eliminated (like America's Player saving Evel Dick, or the Backstage twist saving Taylor, or numerous cancelled evictions and other twists saving people throughout history). But on the other hand, what I've seen from Jag's gameplay in the early-to-middle weeks (4 through 6) was so horrendous that it makes me start to put this win, and by extension this season, into the "joke" category, from a different angle than Survivor 38. Similar to how I'd previously felt that Survivor had been ruined by the emphasis on Big Moves and idols, Big Brother might similarly be ruined by the emphasis on brute-forcing your way to the end (by predictable competitions, this time, rather than idols). I've noticed that the runtime and production focus on competitions has ramped up, and especially with Reindeer Games coming I wonder if BB isn't trending in a direction where they want comps to take up most of the emphasis on an episode-by-episode basis. I'm interested in Big Brother insofar as it's a social game, with comps just being a complementary side-piece which facilitates the social game. Unfortunately, production might be feeling that Big Brother is primarily a show about competitions (and wacky punishments etc.), with the social game just being the extra condiment stashed on top. I'm not sure if I'm broken the way I was broken after Survivor 38, but if the trend continues I might be broken sooner rather than later. We've had 4 comp-beast men as our winners in the last 5 seasons, with Taylor being the sole exception (and even her season was dominated by Michael and then Monte). If this happens two, three more times in a row, is there really much value in continuing to watch?
i'm completely shocked by how well you summarized that. Im really thinking now about some of the issues i've had with survivor and big brother that i was never able to put into words
You made some good points. I would wholeheartedly agree the game is broken. I feel like Jag won me over by the end thoughever. I think he does what he had to do, he played a well rounded game. He had social, physical, strategic aspects, his social and strategic was weak but it existed. He is Michael but not terrible, never had any reason to betray anyone. I think he is a worthy winner for The Challenge Era. Hopefully challenges will change forever and we move to a new era.
Well because the game is really about social-strategy so it comps are there to affect and shake that up but it shouldn't be most determining factor in game or unbalanced in the way it is right now.
I didn't know Cirie was forced to be on the show. Perhaps she should have self evicted, feigning menstrual cramps. On the other hand, if she had won something, it would have been the greatest show on earth.
The twists completely lost me this season. I have been an avid BB watcher since Season 2, but this Production-driven mess ruined the game. Killed the excitement of the double eviction and cxompletely killed all interest with Zombie week. I never got back into the show. I did watch podcasts, but did not watch the show or the feeds after that. They badly blew it.
Honestly I still did enjoy this season a lot, I think mainly because the cast, I Just wish production didn’t Continue to get in their own way time and time again, it felt like despite the productions terrible decisions the game was still delivering up until the zombie week I’d say. And let it be known, despite the themed twists being terrible, the theme of this season / the house design being multiverse was fun
I just watched 100 days of this season and I don’t even remember all the different multiverses, but this season had the life sucked out of it by production being terrible, this might be one of the worst production seasons in a long time
@@iambeanssoh for sure, the unbalanced comps, the horrible twists, the bad edits, their worst in a long time. It genuinely was production who fumbled the bag so hard
This cast manages to be the best and also worst cast i think i've ever seen? Like everyone is rootable at some point, but has terrible behavior at another. I'm also an FBJ apologist, and I think she should get more credit than she gets. she didn't make the final three without getting nominated once on accident. But also her behavior towards Cirie and Felicia near the end of the season really soured me on her.
@@iambeanss Yep! My mom is 54 and she said she couldn’t do half of what Jag now but when she was 23 she would have beat Jag easily! The problems is production don’t account for older players at all!
I agree with you on Blue in DR and anytime she on screen! I’m part of Gen Z because I was born in 2002! I can tell you that people at this way in Gen Z all the time! Their good people however their just too obsessed with social media! Blue remains of the worst part of my friends personality! Because that is not me at all! Kitty Kitty Purrs more like Kitty Please Shit Up!
I really Loved this video. 1,000,000% AGREE with everything you said. It was like you were speaking from my heart. I am also BROKEN. It will take me until next Summer to get over it. Thanks for the Amazing recap and your thoughts. AMERICORY FOREVER♥♥♥
Oh, so you didn't watch half the season and then still judged who won with a lack of all information anyway? Congratulations on making your "opinion" worthless.
1:03:30 this made me fucking cackle. My first live feeds/live season and I’ll never do it again. 😅 My frustration of the season summed up perfectly and directed towards the person that frustrated me the most.
If it wasn't Hisam's addiction for Reilly I really do reckon she had it in the bag, practically had a Cappy cult following behind her it really would have been an incredibly different season that I for one would have preferred.
People get mad at this season but there are way worse alternate universes. I feel like Cirie just steamrolling forever to Final 4 is way worse. Seriously, Cirie/Jared/Blue/Izzy is the most horrible Final 4 ever in this show. Imagine Cirie/Jared Final 2 ugh. Jag was kind of a bullshit winner but at least he was different. We should have diversity in winners and not merely just lock into trends. I am glad he saw Cirie as the threat she was. Cirie getting carried to Final 2 and then just winning because of charm would be so annoying to me sorry.
The only issue is that I feel like Jag fell into previous trends for winners. He won out until the end, which we have seen many, many times. With Cirie, that would’ve been a pure social game, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before. I agree the season may not have been this great season, but I think anything would be better than the endgame we got
I literally agree with u on everything…except Corey and America 😂😂😂 I respect the game play but they were annoying to me 😂 I’m not a hate train person though that’s OD. PS: FBJ 😂😂😂 FBJ smh
Fbj sucked, cam and matt were weirdos. Like you knew the girl for 14 days. I dont get how everyone has this love for cirie. Im new to this so someone explain this admiration for someone with a good social game but zero ability to win any comps?
I'm guessing that you are about 20 years old? Cause you clearly have no idea what makes BB awesome and what makes players great. But good for you for giving your opinion anyway, lord knows we need more uninformed opinions in this world.
Taylor was the worst winner in BB history. All she did was survive the block and do nothing. She didnt even win the final HOH..Jag was a much better winner. He won 10 comps and everyone in jury was there because of him. Cameron winning AFP was no surprise he is a casual god to the audience. I mean 1000s commemts of Cam worship on FB..never seen anything like it. If anyhing Cirie was the worst twost of the season. Would have been so much better had newbies played. She got a producer rigged alliance and ruined it. Why did she backdoor Hisam or vote out Red? The Red vote was the biggest blunder of the entire season her. She wass god awful at BB
Jag will forever be one of the worst winners of this show, his gameplay was pretty abhorrent for most of it and if he didn't get catered comps he wouldn't have made it. Pretty much in the same boat as rachel but not quite as direct production interference, although the quantity of interference was more arguably
i completely disagree with your blue opinion she was one of my favorites she’s just a girly leave her alone i also disagree with hisam i guess yeah he was remorseful but he was still imo rude to his whole alliance yeah he was entertaining at times but idk
obviously the blue take is my opinion if you enjoyed her then im happy to see that. But with Hisam I did mention that he was extremely messy, and not a good player (too domineering and trying to control everything) so while I love him, I get why he was taken out
Oh and jared has something about america is apparently because of an argument about skylar in breaking bad, in which jared obviously shows himself as a misogynist
@@NETTAHER28that’s exactly what I thought and I still stick to it.they couldn’t believe a pretty girl ,like her ,would even look twice at Corey but not give them the time of day. You are the only other person I’ve seen to say it .Wow great minds think alike😂
@@NETTAHER28 😂😂👀👀👀I was watching too.every night I stayed up late I couldn’t pull myself away.i would look at the clock and say I’ll watch for a while and all a sudden it was 2am .You see &hear a lot after midnight 😂
This season was just the perfect case of perfect cast wrong production.
Production dropped the ball at every single opportunity and it’s so disappointing
Well said.
All the most interesting people left early or pre jury
perfect cast except jag

U and ur sister clearly have TASTE
i was so completely baffled by this season....it could have been epic....so frustrating!!!!!!!!!
Your rant on FBJ was epic and my complete thoughts as well. I'm so glad I don’t have to see or hear her again.

The way this season began sucking the life out of me ever since the zombie twist came around...
Somebody on big brother needs to pay for my therapy after this season
The worst and best move of the season was Bowie jane turning on Cameron. Horrible move for her but she created the path for Matt and Jag to dominate the game so great move on there part to get her to do it
leave it up to fucking Bowie Jane to ruin the season
@@iambeanss i completely agree.....

Reilly was probably the most fun part of Big Brother 25. I hope the BB26 houseguests will get to meet her one day
Wait until Bowie Jane figures out that the FUGITIVES won the season NOT the Mafia (Cam won AFP
Jag-750K, Matt- 75K, and Cameron-50K

Cameron was the best one this year. And I completely agree with you about Cory & America.
wdym best one. cam was kind of a creep
@@BizzareBlanchI had no idea.. what did cam do?
I don’t even watch the show anymore because it’s so clear production doesn’t care
They don’t give a fuck
This was the first season that I gave up! Then I tuned into BB Canada, and was mind blown. It made BB25 look like watching paint dry. BORING ASF!
42:17 “It’s the incompetence of..”
me: Bowie Jane!
“…production.”
me: oh.
Jared winning the wall was my favorite moment of the season
I 💯 PERCENT agree with you on Blue's confessionals. Holy shit she was annoying
I hope BB26 is a lot less predictable than BB25!
It certainly has been
Your opinions of this season’s big brother are 100% spot on
I didn't know Cirie was forced to be on the show. Perhaps she should have self evicted, feigning menstrual cramps. On the other hand, if she had won something, it would have been the greatest show on earth.
bowie jane did nothing and floated to the end
The twists completely lost me this season. I have been an avid BB watcher since Season 2, but this Production-driven mess ruined the game. Killed the excitement of the double eviction and cxompletely killed all interest with Zombie week. I never got back into the show. I did watch podcasts, but did not watch the show or the feeds after that. They badly blew it.
Honestly I still did enjoy this season a lot, I think mainly because the cast, I Just wish production didn’t Continue to get in their own way time and time again, it felt like despite the productions terrible decisions the game was still delivering up until the zombie week I’d say. And let it be known, despite the themed twists being terrible, the theme of this season / the house design being multiverse was fun
I just watched 100 days of this season and I don’t even remember all the different multiverses, but this season had the life sucked out of it by production being terrible, this might be one of the worst production seasons in a long time
@@iambeanssoh for sure, the unbalanced comps, the horrible twists, the bad edits, their worst in a long time. It genuinely was production who fumbled the bag so hard
This cast manages to be the best and also worst cast i think i've ever seen? Like everyone is rootable at some point, but has terrible behavior at another. I'm also an FBJ apologist, and I think she should get more credit than she gets. she didn't make the final three without getting nominated once on accident. But also her behavior towards Cirie and Felicia near the end of the season really soured me on her.
U are so damn underrated
Jag won ten competitions but their was the same competitions so how good is that really?
that’s what IM SAYING
@@iambeanss Yep! My mom is 54 and she said she couldn’t do half of what Jag now but when she was 23 she would have beat Jag easily! The problems is production don’t account for older players at all!
I agree with you on Blue in DR and anytime she on screen! I’m part of Gen Z because I was born in 2002! I can tell you that people at this way in Gen Z all the time! Their good people however their just too obsessed with social media! Blue remains of the worst part of my friends personality! Because that is not me at all! Kitty Kitty Purrs more like Kitty Please Shit Up!
I’m part of Gen Z too LMAOOO but it was agonizing. I do think I’ll like her after the show, but on the show it’s a no for me
@@iambeanss Yes Blue chose top play this character and it was an bad look for her on the show!
Rock
Paper
SCISSORS
LMFAOOOOOO I’m traumatized again
I feel the exact same way. I am finished with the show.
I wish I could say the same but I’ll be back getting way too invested once again
Watch and enjoy. You'll know when it's time for you to leave. I really wish I didn't feel this way.
I really Loved this video. 1,000,000% AGREE with everything you said. It was like you were speaking from my heart. I am also BROKEN. It will take me until next Summer to get over it. Thanks for the Amazing recap and your thoughts. AMERICORY FOREVER♥♥♥
enjoyed this video. u spoke real
BEANS STAN
I have a stan WHAT stop that’s so sweet
I stopped watching this season at zombie week, decided to catch back up towards the end only to be disappointed that Jag won over Matt
Oh, so you didn't watch half the season and then still judged who won with a lack of all information anyway? Congratulations on making your "opinion" worthless.
@@patrickperot6296It's not that deep pal
1:03:30 this made me fucking cackle. My first live feeds/live season and I’ll never do it again. 😅
My frustration of the season summed up perfectly and directed towards the person that frustrated me the most.
I can't believe the prettiest girl in Big Brother history won the first HOH
If it wasn't Hisam's addiction for Reilly I really do reckon she had it in the bag, practically had a Cappy cult following behind her it really would have been an incredibly different season that I for one would have preferred.
It is big brother, love the game
Jag and Matt is good final two after 23 and 24!
People get mad at this season but there are way worse alternate universes. I feel like Cirie just steamrolling forever to Final 4 is way worse. Seriously, Cirie/Jared/Blue/Izzy is the most horrible Final 4 ever in this show. Imagine Cirie/Jared Final 2 ugh. Jag was kind of a bullshit winner but at least he was different. We should have diversity in winners and not merely just lock into trends. I am glad he saw Cirie as the threat she was. Cirie getting carried to Final 2 and then just winning because of charm would be so annoying to me sorry.
The only issue is that I feel like Jag fell into previous trends for winners. He won out until the end, which we have seen many, many times. With Cirie, that would’ve been a pure social game, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before. I agree the season may not have been this great season, but I think anything would be better than the endgame we got
Fuckin Bowie Jane 😅
This was such a terrible final 5, none of them deserved to win
I literally agree with u on everything…except Corey and America 😂😂😂 I respect the game play but they were annoying to me 😂 I’m not a hate train person though that’s OD.
PS: FBJ 😂😂😂 FBJ smh
You're doing the Peridiam voice
I really enjoyed this video! And I’m still fuckin g feeling great! Buhbye
Fbj sucked, cam and matt were weirdos. Like you knew the girl for 14 days. I dont get how everyone has this love for cirie. Im new to this so someone explain this admiration for someone with a good social game but zero ability to win any comps?
Man I’m just so Glad Cameron won AFP over Cory and America
I'm guessing that you are about 20 years old? Cause you clearly have no idea what makes BB awesome and what makes players great. But good for you for giving your opinion anyway, lord knows we need more uninformed opinions in this world.
jag might be one of the worst players ever and he won jesus
Yeah, only awful players set competition win records and play a nearly flawless social game.
Great video until i found out you are an izzy fan
You liked izzy lol. Couldnt stand her
Is Matt fully deaf or can he hear a little?
Okay dawn pfp !!
I actually like this season lol
I’m glad you enjoyed it
@@iambeanss production is trash tho grodner needs retiring
It was literally the best season in about 10 years.
@@patrickperot6296 no I think BB24 was better tbh
Taylor was the worst winner in BB history. All she did was survive the block and do nothing. She didnt even win the final HOH..Jag was a much better winner. He won 10 comps and everyone in jury was there because of him. Cameron winning AFP was no surprise he is a casual god to the audience. I mean 1000s commemts of Cam worship on FB..never seen anything like it. If anyhing Cirie was the worst twost of the season. Would have been so much better had newbies played. She got a producer rigged alliance and ruined it. Why did she backdoor Hisam or vote out Red? The Red vote was the biggest blunder of the entire season her. She wass god awful at BB
Yeah this seeson was a big disappointment
This was the worst cast ever 🤔🥺
FBJ!
Fuckin Bowie Jane
Corey and America are dorks.
and we love them for it
And what's so wrong with that, Darlyne Bratton?
the winner is still much better than last years winner. She was god awful
we clearly will not be agreeing on much of anything
i just realized that bros pfp is the 🚫 on the trans flag wtf 😭😭😭
@@BizzareBlanch that’s right 👍
@@barr4ckObama240 that feels a little intolerant
@@BizzareBlanch why
Jag will forever be one of the worst winners of this show, his gameplay was pretty abhorrent for most of it and if he didn't get catered comps he wouldn't have made it. Pretty much in the same boat as rachel but not quite as direct production interference, although the quantity of interference was more arguably
i completely disagree with your blue opinion she was one of my favorites she’s just a girly leave her alone i also disagree with hisam i guess yeah he was remorseful but he was still imo rude to his whole alliance yeah he was entertaining at times but idk
obviously the blue take is my opinion if you enjoyed her then im happy to see that. But with Hisam I did mention that he was extremely messy, and not a good player (too domineering and trying to control everything) so while I love him, I get why he was taken out
nah bc the way i feel the EXACT same about blue… it’s bb24 jasmine level of bad 😭
Fellow hisam truther 🙏
Oh and jared has something about america is apparently because of an argument about skylar in breaking bad, in which jared obviously shows himself as a misogynist
I also think the guys were kind of a bunch of haters in the house. They saw America with Cory and were like wtf, how did she pick this dork over me.
@@NETTAHER28that’s exactly what I thought and I still stick to it.they couldn’t believe a pretty girl ,like her ,would even look twice at Corey but not give them the time of day. You are the only other person I’ve seen to say it .Wow great minds think alike😂
@sandygirl2544 just judging based off what they were saying on the live feeds too 😂
@@NETTAHER28 😂😂👀👀👀I was watching too.every night I stayed up late I couldn’t pull myself away.i would look at the clock and say I’ll watch for a while and all a sudden it was 2am .You see &hear a lot after midnight 😂
