The Success and Failures of Pre-Existing Relationships on Big Brother

Pre-existing relationships have been a thing inside the Big Brother house since basically the very beginning. It can be an interesting twist to throw this type of dynamic into the house, but is it good? Today, we'll be looking at the successes and failures of pre-existing relationships on Big Brother.

I still think they should do another X-factor twist season as long as everyone has an ex in the house. It would create drama and provide for some interesting alliances

[zackmenard]

I think the pre-existing relationships are definitely cooler when they're an actual twist. The twins, BB6, and some of the BB4 exes were cool to watch play out, tbh!

Also random note, Carol & Jessica having a pre-existing 'relationship' over lunch money never fails to crack me up💀

[JayCFree]

A little bit more of a stretch, but I think it’s worth mentioning BB18 that Da’vonne’s vendetta against Tiffany’s sister basically led to Da’Vonne obsessively targeting Tiffany to the point of tanking her own game for it.

So it’s a pre-existing second-degree relationship that shaped part of the game.

“He’s a racist”, lol that’s a promising romance..

[jjmcbride]

My biggest gripe with all these pre-existing relationships was that production could never keep it consistent. Having a preexisting relationship with someone adds such a HUGE extra layer to the game, but CBS' casting could NEVER keep it consistent with the exception of BB6. Trying to compare estranged family to lunch money was WILDLY uneven, and only giving 5 out of the 8 houseguests an ex back in season 4 felt SO unfair.

It still blows my mind that they didn't notice the Christie and Tommy pre-existing relationship OR the Holly and Kat one, feels like an easy instagram search and such lol maybe that season would have gone better had they noticed that but idk if there's any saving for BB21

[mojojoe]

HA HA HA HA OMG Why'd you have to do me like that?? You didn't even touch on Dustin getting evicted after nominating himself as a pawn. "A courtesy flush" as he said. I had totally forgotten they used Nate's interviews on the show as well. Oh man. Thank you and great videos as always.

[lutilda]

I'd really love to see another preexisting relationship twist in the future. Better than the random duo / battle of the block stuff.

update: cirie from survivor and her son jason are playing bb25

BBOTT is clearly the black sheep of the franchise so I understand why you didn’t want to include it, but it’s impressive that siblings Morgan and Alex managed to hide their pre-existing relationship the whole time.

Even though Alex left relatively early, the bonds and friendships they both formed early on helped position Morgan pretty well for the latter half of the game.

[willabbott]

Super late comment I know but that moment with Tommy talking to Christie in the shower was priceless! Made me laugh hardest out of everything I’ve seen of these videos. Good find.

[Daydenne]

Seeing the girl that dated your AUNT walk in with you on a reality tv show mustve been such a bone chilling moment

[Mushruums]

It was a bit hypocritical that Christie was so critical of Holly possibly knowing Kat and blew up their alliance over it when her and Tommy knew each other. They could have just said it doesn’t matter.

[bacanalb]

The guinea pigs, while funny, still irks my soul. Also, I remember when it was (to my recollection) speculated that Kat and Holly “knew” each other, or ran the same circles, outside the house but never thought it was proven… well, until I saw your videos. I just thought they were part of the same scene, but didn’t actually know it. Then again, I never rewatched 19 after it aired, so my memory is really foggy but it. But I clearly remember that fight .

[L_R..]

I wish big brother did a reunion after each season ends so we can see updates on how the constants from the previous season are doing

[nathanghisolfo]

It is so good to see your Channel Growing as big as it has! As a reward for your continuous efforts, I've decided to increase my membership. Keep up the good work ethan!

[bridgetf.]

i think a fun video idea would be “underrated personalities” !

we all know bb12’s brittany and bb16’s zach but some others are often forgotten like joe from bb8 who had some of the funniest moments and one-liners of the season

[marklisowski]

If you haven’t done this already, could you do a video on known Superfans entering the game and how that fares for them

[craigresendes]

Joe needs to come back so badly on the show 😂 he was so entertaining. Arguably one of the best DR confessional givers ever, even though we only had him for two weeks

[montropoly]

You’re killing it with the uploads! Keep it up!
