5 Times Big Brother Players Hacked Competitions 4.0 

can’t believe you got a shoutout on the actual show😭

During the "musical chairs" montage I was really hoping you would randomly throw in Janelle being like "it's kinda like duck duck goose" lmao

How does it feel to know that you have officially influenced Big Brother?

Jen's comp hack is my all time fav. Watching the rest of the house that had bullied her have a good laugh only to realize Jen had played one over them all made for some marvelous TV. Absolute Queen.

Jena saying safety as her guess actually gets a totally differerent meaning because for her, that was exactly what it was, ensuring her safety in the game.

Michael: I should stop winning so i don’t become too big of a threat Also Michael: Continues to win everything

A subtle one is that in this year's tiny HOH comp, Turner was holding his tweezers way closer to the pinching end which gives much more stability when moving and placing the tiny cans!

Ever since i was a kid i always wondered why houseguests didn’t just stash answers somewhere during the OTEV competition. I was so happy when Michael did it lol

Michael deserves recognition for his accomplishments in BB24! Like him or not he is a comp beast and one of the best players to play BB!!!!

I watch your survivor videos all the time, but I have never watched Big Brother, so I haven’t watched your videos on it..until today. I saw the thumbnail, and thought, ‘Hey, that looks like Michael Bruner.’ He and I are from the same town; I’ve known him since elementary school. We ran cross country together. Crazy.

This is what happens when they do the same tired competitions every season, allowing a super fan like Michael to dominate the season.

Lol. I remember Jen and her wrong answer. I still think it's funny how much everyone else hated getting outsmarted by her.

For your next video, you should do Top 5 Saltiest Exits. I think that would be really funny lol. That way you can add a certain eviction that Im not gonna spoil lol

I feel like productions needs to completely scratch all these comps that have been broken. Just give us a whole new slate of comps so that people who watch your videos like Michael & Brittany don’t have a huge advantage going into BB

thanks to peridiam they’re gonna be like “no more long sleeves” 😂

That Jared one in BBCAN was insane… I remember watching that and saying “that might be the greatest strategy ever pulled off in BB”

The BBOTT final 4 HOH competition also had a hack in it. In this challenge, players had to maneuver balls up a board to designated holes (balls representing HOH wins throughout the season), putting 9 in place while avoiding random cutout holes. Some players chose to work from the top down, but others decided to work from the bottom up. This is where Jason hacked the competition. While he got more practice as he went, by putting the lower balls in first, he essentially filled in some of the holes that his ball would normally fall right through and trip him up. Jason can then be seen moving higher-up balls quickly up the sides of the board, moving over the filled-in spaces. Jason essentially only had to move his next balls up the board (aside from the occasional maneuver) and didn't have to actually avoid all of the holes his ball could have fallen off the board through. Jason dominates this competition, and the hack proved successful.

Appreciate the clips from BBCAN. I love it so much! I binge watched every season on Paramount+.

The intro sequence alone is enough for a video. Made me smile, super proud of ya!!

Thank you for posting the video.

some things I noticed from this season, and i'm not sure if you mentioned them yet, but Michael moving the orbs out of the way on the mermaid veto to get a clear lane and on the jousting veto I think it was Turner and possibly Michael held the lance(?) closer to the tip allowing for more accuracy than the people who held it at the hilt. Turner did the same thing with the tweezers in the tiny hoh

This is amazing!!

well deserved mentions!! can’t wait until contestants on survivor do the same 😄

cant wait to find all the perdiam fans in the future of big brother

I forgot how much I loved James. I used to watch some of the vids he did afterwards. Cool guy 😎

Jared's hack wasn't really a hack. He gained 1 point on all the people who bet on him but lost 2 points to Nick (Nick got 3 he got 1). Had he won, he would've still gained 1 point on all the bettors (3 to 2) but now have gained 2 points on Nick (3 to 1).

Thanks, i didnt know bbcan was on paramount! Now i can finally watch Ika’s season, ive been wanting to fir awhile.

Yesss that intro !!

i had no idea bbcan was on paramount plus, thank you!!

I absolutely forgot Tim was on BB Canada. Just had BB Australia war flashbacks when i heard his voice.

I’ve been watching big brother since I was like 8. I love this show

Any appearance of Whamber is gold

Peridiam, I promise Michael will watch this!

I cackled when you said "But it did take a Jensa member" 😂😂

I watched Big Brother along with my mother, at the same time I was watching Survivor and Amazing Race with her, but damn, I would love more of this series.

Peridiam is now part of the BB mythos.

"the slime will GET you"

I was rooting for Michael, he's a good player, he deserved to win.

Michael and Brittany are my faves tbh

I've been watching BB18 for the first time recently (I'm down to the final 4 rn) and seriously Corey could probably have his own whole ass video lol I know you did the one where he reaches around between rounds to grab disks in the darkroom one.. but there are lots of other genius moments he's had. The guessing challenge when he purpose guessing 1 billion and saved Nicole from falling out, which got her the win. There were at least 2 or 3 other examples but it's 7 am and I can't really remember now lol

Cody bb19 the he didn't get stuck in the vines he went to the side where there were less and swung through them. We could see him pass others teams to do it! The comp where Josh took the golden apple.

I lost my shit listening to Britney and Michael talking about how bad Jazmine was in that competition... lololol

As a Big Brother superfan, of course you need to know these hacks!

Wow this just went up I have good timing lol that never happens

In honor of what just happened, you should do a revised top 5 double eviction, but don’t forget “my replacement nominee is Neda”

jen-ius , a comp beast and a bb legend

So cool

Damn. That Jared one is good

I guess he missed your strategy video on winning everything gets you back doored.

hide and go veto has had some good defensive strategies

Best comp hack: watch Peridiam's videos

2:30 FORESHADOWING!!

I'd love one about the BB comics and the strategies... I have my own idea. Of what I'd do, but it's been around enough that I kinda wanna see the winners and what they said they did.

I’m currently watching the fourth season of bbcan 😂

Fun fact: the guy in the BB Canada hack who said “Jared’s a mastermind” is actually a former big brother Australia player

So happy when Taylor Hale won the wall HOH!

RIP the Queen

You know, now that I think about it, I'd say the entire concept of Big Brother was likely inspired by musical chairs. =P

Loving the respect for the Jenius herself in this one 😌

Yet Another Hack (though it didn't necessarily cause a winner directly): BB Can Season 3 during the episode 10 veto challenge where players had to use an oversized airsoft gun to knock down their opponents' faces to knock them out of the competition. Many players held their guns standing up, as the challenge suggested, but multiple chose to hold them while kneeling or laying down to get more stability to their shot (to mixed results, but overall an extremely good strategy for someone with any struggle with the size, weight, or stability). Bobby even mentions firing when exhaling, as it is a hunting technique to get a better shot. Additionally, in one shot, Bobby plays with the distance from which he is shooting. While most players stand in the box, Bobby lays further away BEHIND the firing line to experiment with his chances. Bobby didn't end up winning, but he used good techniques that could further be mastered.

Michael should have taken a competition hack from Ian and tried to win competitions when he needed to win and he threw the ones he didn't need to win.

Big brother needs to come out with new games

✨✨✨✨

Another Hack: BB Can Season 7 during the episode 9 Buzzkill challenge: players had to hit a button when an alarm sounded, with the last being eliminated. A temptation was put up of pizza and beer, but players had to leave their buttons to eat. Dane hacked this by running to eat right after a buzzing in 'round', since he knew another buzz wouldn't come until the round fully reset. His hack got him the reward without ever having any real danger.

Jared's strategy actually wasn't good because if he won, he would have gotten 3 points and everyone else would have gotten 2 or net +1 for him. By losing, he gets 1 point and everyone else gets 0 or also +1 for him. WInning would have been better as he would have been able to get +2 points on Nick instead of -2 by losing.

How in the world did I forget about Waaaamber?

Is BBOTT counting? This probably happened in similar comps across other seasons too. During the second HOH, houseguests had to use a pole to hold up a paper(?) crown cutout on an image of themselves and not drop it. After a period of time, houseguests had to move to using only one hand instead of two. However, many houseguests held the pole against their chests too, creating the needed pressure to keep the crown up without putting as much strain on their wrists and making the competition significantly easier. Whitney has a segment where she addresses using her stomach to hold the pole up, meaning this strategy wasn't against the rules. Yet not everyone did it, and using this strategy would definitely help the longevity of holding up the pole.

maddy from bbcan4 is underrated

might be small but in the second HOH of bb23, Kyland had a different approach to hitting the ball than everyone else. he pushed it forward instead of just hitting it with the stick

What about Arle’s POV win in the double eviction of BB Canada 2 episode 17. I just watched it and 1 he beasted it and 2 he definitely hacked it.

god i love jen johnson

I never understood how any big brother players would come on and not know the game? Like why are you applying for a show for so much money and not taking the time to spend 1 day watching previous seasons? It’s like when people get on price is right and then don’t realize every prize is over $500 when bidding and $5000 once on stage abd $20,250 once in showcase!

And Another Hack! In the first live HOH competition of BB US season 23, players had to solve a plexiglass puzzle in heats in order to earn a spot in the final competition for the HOH. The concept of the puzzle was that each player had 5 plexiglass sheets with partial images on them that they needed to put in a particular order in a box (that also had some wrong images in it that needed to be covered) to form a final image. However, getting the sheets into the box was tricky, and Whitney showed this when she struggled to get them in. However, in Christian's heat (heat 3), he choose to arrange them on the ground while looking at the puzzle key (another advantage since he wouldn't have to move back to compare the two images). This allowed him to quickly switch the sheets around and win his heat. From what can be seen in the live coverage, Sarah Beth and Tiffany also appear to use a similar strategy.

James is super short thats why he won lol

The card throwing one, didn’t Jared then just give the other guy 3 points though?

Not true, if I was doing the wall comp a part of me would try to crouch on the block or face backwards and crouch.

Watching Michael just makes me sad now

Still don't understand the stay or fold hack

These comps used to last for hours. Now these young people can’t even last an hour.

wait.. otev is veto backwards?

3:22 I dont get that or maybe im just slow. Why would a blindfold help me in the dark? Wouldnt a flashlight be more helpful to grab lol

So Brittany knew all of this and still wasn’t winning comps😔

…How is the card-throwing bet thing a hack? If he wins it's Him - 3, Others - 2, Opponent - 1. If he loses it's Him - 1, Others - 0, Opponent - 3. He's gaining 1 point on the people betting no matter what, all that throwing the minigame does is give his opponent a big advantage for literally zero personal benefit.

The season with Natalie, Corey and James was the best one for sure

Still waiting for Porsche at the final 4 Veto of BB13 to make an appearance.

:⁠-⁠)

Wait, I’m confused why Jen’s was so good

U came up with the stock pile strategy? Lol ooooook 🤔

If micheal is in here, say hi

Thank you for proving that Big Brother is extremely stale and ran out of ideas.

I do really love Michael, but for some reason I don't feel like his wins measure up to janelle's. Janelle usually had the entire house against her, and they were playing HARD. they all wanted to win SO bad, she had some serious competition. I don't know if the houseguests are getting weaker or just have less of a drive to win, but it just seems like what Michael was competing against is levels below what Janelle was. Also, BB reuses the same comps year after year, and I'm sure superfan Michael had them all practically memorized and engrained in his bones before playing, whereas Janelle was seeing these comps for the first time and immediately dominated.

Hiding pieces in the water isn’t much of a strategy. It’s called common sense 😂 So were calling stating the obvious a strategy nowadays? LOL

How can Michael talk shit about everyone in the game, belittle them and spread lies yet he’s being considered a good player? If people said he was horrible at a challenge they’d get canceled 😏

Do you think sometimes "hacking" goes too far? I think Michaels record is hugely tainted because he spent all his time watching videos and practicing comps. He even played a mock BB game in college like BB Prep School. Its almost like he cheated to the 750K based on it being unfair advantages. If you want to make BB a sport then okay lets make everyone an athlete. With all these recruits this is like putting LeBron into the YMCA game. Most of these people have no idea what these comps are and are just here like Alyssa, Monte, Terrance. Do you really think Janelle is worse, when she had a hostile house, no preknowledge of all or most comps, she had a lot less physicality than a 6'4" male? Janelle would imo if you made up new comps and deaged her to 25 years old beat Michael 70% of the time because she has real fire and real guts. Just showing Michael at 9min and everyone else at the same time in the BB Comics comp proves he's just beyond them all and its not fair. Like take Michael out of this season and its tainted so much by comp beasting that it would be legit 400% different shows something is screwed up.

Still don't like Michael. He used Kyle making him look bad when in reality he is the racist!!! Hope he leaves in double eviction tonight. Not to mention he is just a sorry human!!!

So glad Michael was voted out. He threw his little hissy fit (that's how most gay people I know react) then when he saw Julie he knew he acted like a douche and admitted it. He said it was game play. However, if someone did that to him he would demand CBS bring hate crime charges to that person and the alphabet soup community would be outraged.
