The Success and Failures of 'Battle Backs' in Big Brother

"Battle Backs" in Big Brother give the evicted houseguests a second chance at winning the game. Sometimes it's a competition, other times it's a vote, and sometimes it's even both! Regardless of the method, a battle back allows one previously voted out houseguest a second shot at the money, but not everyone does well. These are the successes and failures of battle backs in Big Brother.

“…after Helen was pushed”.

I HOLLERED. 😂

[sarahenchanted]

Cam and Jared acting like bros on stage when one literally had the other evicted 30 minutes earlier is funny as hell

[Wallace_]

Victor is easily the most iconic battle back player. 3rd boot to 5th place🤯 it was a crazy experience to watch

[medutz]

You skipped season 20s most epic failure of a battle back with Kaitlyn defeating herself 😅

[remi-D]

I just rewatchd the BB13 battle back and my goodness listening to Rachel call out the answers to Brendan was excruciating lol

[reginamachamer]

The best part about the battle back is that it almost always negatively affects the majority alliance, and helps the underdogs. I mean for the most part, the people voted out early are the people not in the majority alliance. So it sends them all into a panic, while giving hope to the underdogs that we're probably all rooting for.

Everyone watching this before Jag wins BB 25 even after being near unanimously voted out is hilarious

[nickkolb]

Cody casting the deciding vote for Paul to LOSE and then getting voted AFP to spite Paul and all of the Paul-minions was a success in my book.

An Ethanimale video to watch while I’m sick? Hell yeah!

[themandalorian]

I love Cliff’s battle back so much, he’s such a likable guy and his celebration was awesome

[lastdayonearthmysteryman]

My mom loves the battle back because she feels that with the format of the show being everyone into a giant alliance to target everyone! It’s cool to see one player come back and try to take over the game!

[CoNiCuZn]

Loved this! Hoping to see a history of the “hide the veto” comp if they do it this season

[TheRomaniBanks]

Luwann & Brendon’s Battle Back from BB13 happening on my birthday made it so much better to watch (Aug 8.) 8:30

Also, Cliff's popoff is one of the greatest BB moments ever, and it's largely in part to the battle back win actually meaning something because Cliff made top 4. One minute left on the clock: "I don't need that long...."

[RoyalKingOliver]

Honestly, I think every battleback up to bb25 has been good to some degree.

THIS years battleback? It’s abysmal and terrible in every single way, and on top of that it feels really rigged for those players and completely ignores every other player who definitely deserved it that left before these two.

Seriously, the BB25 Zombie twist is up there as the worst twists in bb history.

[nnewdle]

I'm loving how all your videos relate to what's currently going on in bb house

[sseth]

seeing cliff’s celebration always gets me so hype every time😂 I’ve always been a fan of villains but cliff was the best “old player casting” and one of my favorites. I highly recommend watching his YouTube channel if you don’t watch feeds he does a good recap every day!

[patrickperot]

If I could go back and change any part of BB history that I wanted, it actually WOULDN'T be Paul's second F2 loss (see Ethan, I'm coming around!). Rather, it would actually be to have Jacob win the audience vote in BB9 and then have the house unknowingly vote him back in. Oh BB9, how I love your drama. So, so underrated of a season.

[Lpcarver]

I'm still so mad that the BB Zombie twist happened once the two most problematic houseguests left in the house got evicted. Wish they just cancelled that twist and saved it for something later idk I just hate that they got this chance.

[petersciarrotta]

I’m glad you focused on the important aspect of the BB15 battle back…that Helen was pushed
