Michael Bruner's Record Breaking Competition Run on Big Brother 24 

I love the fun fact about Michael and Janelle having the same number of confessionals! Your channel is a great archive for BB historians.

Michael is one of my all time favorite Big Brother players ever. Unlike most new school players he actually fought every single week. He thought he was going home so he campaigned and gave a hell of a speech. He had a great strategic game, everyone loved him, and his competition stats are uncomparable. In my opinion he is in at least the top ten players of all time

I truly think that if Michael had had more time, as in a regular week, he could’ve convinced Alyssa and Taylor to band together with him against Monte and Turner. Still a beast!

Only fitting that a Janelle fan broke her record!! Congrats Michael

Also, 1) Michael broke the BB Comics record for fastest time, excluding Kaycee’s time since it wasn’t played in the traditional zip line format. 2) Michael and Janelle were both the 2nd person evicted in Week 9. Michael was evicted in a double eviction on Day 65 and Janelle was evicted in the shortened final week of BB7 on Day 67.

I’m going to miss Michael I truly hope he gets to come back in a future season.

I'm convinced that an eviction speech has NEVER changed anyone's vote. But GOD DAMN did Michael give a hell of a speech. He made so much sense, and honestly, if I were Alyssa or Taylor, I would have changed my vote. The only problem is they can't communicate with each other, so neither can know if the other is changing their vote. But that was honestly the BEST speech I have ever heard, hands down, period. What do you guys think?

I’m just upset, I really loved Micheal and wanted him to win it all. I also want him to win AFP, but I know it’s gonna be Taylor. I really hope he knows that his representation really shows the other gay kids like him, and I, can do it all. He is amazing.

He was so much fun to watch. I hope they bring him back for another season.

Michael's belt breaking was very tragic since you can hear him pleading out loud "what do I do" . Apparently the HGs were informed by production that if they broke this set, they would just have to deal with it due to the time crunch. I didn't watch this part on the feeds so I'm not sure how true that is, but I imagine if this was a regular week, they probably would have reset the comp since they've reset broken comps before (Coincidentally they did it for Janelle during a week where she most definitely was going home)

Watching Michael’s “this is for the queer kids who need a win” speech after the slip n slide veto made me cry

Michael was also the first to win the veto twice each as a nominee, the HOH and as someone who was chosen (the trifecta veto) not just in a single season, but in a BB career.

I love Michael's awkward and weird "hands over the head" move when he would win!

Didn’t Michael also break the record for fastest time in BBComics? If so, that comp win broke two records and tied a third!

Haven't been a fan of the big brother cast in most of these last few seasons. This cast isnt bad but big brother needs more players like Michael. MVP of the season. I was actually pissed when he got voted out. A true All Star for the next All Star season.

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.

I have mad respect for Michael, I wish he would've stayed longer. But this means he might actually come back in another season if he'd really want to

Cant wait for Michael to get out and see this video. I remember watching him on Big Brother Secrets of Scholastica which was a youtube BB at his college and it was super cool seeing him get on and play actual BB and shatter a 16 year old record!

I'm gonna give y'all a tip to win this game: DON'T win 6 Power of Veto's if you don't absolutely have to.

Jag watched this and took this personally

He actually deserved the win.

Should’ve won this season. Super bummed he didn’t. He’s the only one who deserves it.

Michael is BB LEGEND. Period. Glad your channel popped on my feeds. Love the guy ❤. He made a Janelle (BB Queen) Bucket List and achieved + exceeded. Hope he's brought back 4 All Stars.

congrats on 20k ethan!!

Michael is also close to Janelle's amount of days spent in the BB house as she was evicted on day 67 and Michael was evicted on day 65. Also, another similarity is that both Michael and Janelle got their 9th win on week 9 then got evicted the round directly afterwards.

Thank you for the amazing content. I have started binging this season because of this video and because of your channel. My first actual season to watch. And it is Awesome. Thanks for all your videos.

He got too confident in the end, he should have listened to Brittany, if he got turner out Brittany would have won HoH and he would still be in the game

We will be seeing him play this game again. I can’t wait.

It's weird how the final 7 this season were either nominated for eviction, were backstage or in the finals for the first HOH during week 1.

I can't remember the last time I genuinely enjoyed watching someone in competitions.. the competitions are always fun ofc, but it was like actually super exciting when Michael was around.

I wish Michael never held onto the info about Kyle because aside from that and some microaggressions toward Taylor he was basically the perfect person to be on BB! I also loved his exit both for how iconic it was and for how emotional it made me watching the DE live. The thing is, many won’t admit it, but there is an argument to be made that Taylor and Alyssa made the wrong move voting Michael out. Michael made so many valid points in his speech, and he clearly would have taken Taylor to the end or at least the final 3, and Monte and Turner have both been guilty of treating her like crap recently. As for Alyssa, well she’s on the outs right now and is only a target because Michael is gone, she had a better chance of going farther if Michael stayed if you ask me! Right now, Taylor winning is the only way this season gets a satisfying ending because everyone else is insufferable for their own reasons. And while I get the hate for Brittany, I am more annoyed with Turner since 1. people are praising him for making moves that were not his, and 2. He made a promise to Michael that he swore on the LGBT+ community to keep, which was gross and unnecessary if he never planned to keep it! I didn’t like it when Vanessa did it in BB17 either!

Micheal dominated comps on a szn where there was Monty/Kyle/Joseph and even Turner who would’ve been “the comp beast” on any other szn. An athletic super fan is a cheat code 😅…. He was gonna be evicted first chance someone in final 4-6 got BUT his speech/efforts were crazy 😂😂😂😂 and if Monty/Turner win, those girls will regret it

Mike is the definition of Superfan it was fun watching him play

He's one of the best players I've ever seen - & I've watched since the beginning!

I can’t wait to show Michael all the love after this season I hope he notices 🙏🏼💯🖤And shows all the fans some love

i really wanted michael to win, but it also would’ve been very stupid of monte and turner to keep him in the game. he should’ve taken out turner instead of terrance, but he still played the best game by far and i really hope we see him again

One of the all-time top players without a doubt...... That being said.. Michael targeting and evicting Terrance instead of Turner or Monte on his last HoH will probably go down as one of the biggest strategic mistakes a BB player has made..ever.

I'm mad Michael was evicted, cause yeah I love Taylor but he was the best competitor hands down and the only one that really deserved it. Also love that he went out like the king that he is.

Another good video! Keep it up :)

Ohhhhhh my gosh. I love Michael.

Love this!

it seems like no one was trying as hard to play as michael, he needs to be back in a real season

Congrats on 20k

Definitely worthy of All Stars.

Thanks!

It’s funny if you think about it, cats have 9 lives and Michael won 9 competitions.

Can you make a video comparing Janelle and Michael whether that be who is an overall bigger physical threat or overall a better player. Love the videos, especially the ones where you break down a player, duo or alliance! 🔑

"We will never see anything like this again" This aged quite badly

Alyssa also spoke about the same thing happening to her equipment. She said it could happen if you didn’t have enough give and pulled on your rope too hard and she had to go back and re-hook it up

I loved the festie bestie twist … that house split twist was cans though🍅🍅🍅.

when Monte won that double eviction Veto I was cheering from my chair to backdoor Michael. But a part of me wishes he was still in the house just so we could see how far he could go

Michael was definitely one of my favorite bb players ever. Him an Ian.

Hey I kind of had an idea for a future video. Maybe you could do “The Bizzare History of Houseguests Lying About Their Jobs” cause just off the top of my head I can think of quite a few - Danielle bb14 - Vanessa bb17 - Xavier bb23 - Michael bb24 - Joseph bb24 - Britney bb24 And I think it would be interesting to review how successful they were at lying (for example Xavier won the game but everyone knew he was lying), how it affected their game, and if that’s a good strategy/which jobs SHOULD you lie about You obviously don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, but I love your content and I know I’d never make it myself

He's definitely got my vote for the Big Brother Hall of fame. He beat the record of his favorite houseguest.

12:40 it didn't even occur to me that he dove for the button lmao I fcking love him

Glad Michael got evicted. He shoulda took Brittany's advice and go after Turner. He lost $750k 🤷🏾‍♂️

Ethanimale great video you made. I like people like micheal they came to play the game and not just become and average player. When you look at micheal you would not think that he is a great competition player. He was brilliant.

Video idea: ranking the houses in big brother

You need to go on BB! Fav player right there

I was so devastated when he was evicted but at least he went out with a bang

Monte was scared little man!

Question. Michael had advanced knowledge of most of the competitions he played in to break the record. Were the comps all known when Janelle did it? I can't remember.

Michael getting evicted was extremely satisfying!

He is so great. He is the best player of the season (although Taylor deserves that win after all she went through). Taylor is like the Top 3 but if it is about games, Michael is #1

He took the "WWJD" too seriously..

Woowww, I'm late to the party, but never noticed his rope fall off like that. I didn't watch this season live, either, but they better have given him a big ass cash prize for ruinin' his chances to win. That's blatantly just, on the ground. I'd be mortified if I'd been him in that moment.

Micheal was amazing all season and made BB interesting again. Two biggest mistakes game wise (not counting holding onto the Kyle info) not taking out Monte and Turner during those 2 HoH reigns.

woah, maybe i should watch this season- this guy is insanee

minnesotans really represent on big brother. i’m proud.

Taylor’s rope broke as well and she continued on playing without stopping and holding the rope - and if it had been something really bad, he would’ve brought it up to production

Hey man! Ever think about doing a “pre jury Villians” vid? Ex: Devin BB 16, Ronnie BB 11, Jeremy BB 15 this season with Daniel? Think it would be a great vid!

I thought something weird happened during last veto. He’s too smart to have kept running for it while vastly underestimating how much rope he still needed. That’s not fair. Also think Turner probably is convinced to not nominate him if it’s a full week

My favourite player in years!

You should rank every memory wall picture

Michael is an absolute icon. The fact that they had to get him out in such a weasel way shows how good he is. Really hope we don't end up with a Monte or Turner win this season, but whatever happens Michael is going to be who is remembered and talked about most when BB24 gets brought up.

When I was watching the double eviction veto I thought I noticed Michael's rope broke but I thought i was trippin. But knowing it did is kinda controversial and in my opinion the competition should've either restarted or we should've had a new competition. Either way that man was on god mode.

I’ll never not be salty about Michael being evicted. He’s the only person who deserved to win season 24.

I just realized he referenced the Gordon Ramsey/Julie Chen Idiot Sandwich Meme!

I am very curious as to what the theme of that Thursday episode will be, because right now, with Michael gone my interest in this season has tanked beyond wanting Taylor to win badly. Most of it has to do with Turner, I think he might actually be the worst cast member of the entire season. Every good thing he did does not look genuine in hindsight, he showed various microaggressions toward players like Taylor and Joseph, and he refuses to hold himself accountable for his shitty behaviors. For those that don't watch the feeds, here's a list of some of his shitty behaviors: 1. Actually knew somewhat about Kyle's plans but only turned on him to avoid it coming back to bite him 2, Campaigned to have Taylor evicted over Kyle after he was put on the block 3. Swore on the LGBT+ community that he would not put Michael up to guarantee safety 4. Told Michael he loved him and then said "fuck him" on the feeds and that he could judge him for "playing the victim" even though we all know Michael's callout of Turner was completely valid! 5. Has campaigned to try and get Taylor out this week even though she agreed to go on the block so that he could avoid having to do so..... Monte is a misogynist and he is not off the hook for that, but I am more disgusted by Turner since he has done a greater variety of shitty things and yet refuses to hold himself accountable for any of it!

Michael is amazing!!

the veto michael lost his rope broke, not only do i think that wasnt fair but it was a design flaw in productions comp design, they should have paused the comp and fixed his belt

week 8 veto was like *micheal gets picked* everyone else: why do i hear boss music?

Seeing all these similarities with michael and janelle is crazy i couldnt imagine being him lol

Personally as a gay person I wasn't having fun watching Michael and would prefer not to see him on another season. Entitled little one. He's like a less entertaining Janelle and overrated strategically, his only actual move all season was using the race card and even then Brittany was leading that more

The fact that Janelle & Michael are both from Minnesota 🔥

I need to see Michael on TAR

michael was like a big brother brantsteele. Except you put Michael at Comp beast for every comp, and put everyone else to terrible

Since he's been gone... I could careless who wins because no one who is left even did anything good. They all floated

every competition he was in he either lost veto and won hoh or won veto and lost hoh. the whole time he was there he was winning hoh and vetos left and right. he really gave everyone a run for their money. had monte not win that veto he very well could have won. unfortunately when you are that much of a beast you usually get knocked out the first chance they get. if he was on season 22 or 23 he would have won. those casts would have let him steam rolled him to the end. sadly for him the cast for once used their brains and made a big move

Damn Now nobody's left that I was rooting for

Also, love you Ethanimale. Renewing my subscription was a no brainer. But can you shed some light on that convo in your karma video? Also, if I upgrade, and if I figure out how to use the emulator online, can we Smash? I've been dying to ever since I saw you played!

Wow so Jag could have matched him with 7 had he not folded.

Michael the veto king, gible the discord king

michael IS A LEGEND

the d riding is insane

13:01 I LOVE HIM SM STOP

I was rooting for Micheal to win the game and to win even more competitions, unfortunately for him, as Emmet and Jillian would tell you, the more you win the more you have to win. he was at a point where he had won so much he couldn't afford to lose even once. he lost the double-eviction veto and everyone wisely knew if they didn't vote him out now they may not get another chance. he ha d good chance of winning all the vetoes for the rest of the season.

He would’ve definitely blew the record out the water if he got to go to 3rd place like Janel

Initially thought his Janelle speech was so cringe like Daniel talking about making moves like Dan Gheesling….. but damn Michael is a beast

15:50 that is bs.. Monte did *not* win fair and square. Not if Michael's station was broken. And I'm sorry but I feel like they've re-done comps for less. This makes me mad. Imagine how many wins he'd have if he lasted longer. I swear if Michael isn't back in that house within yhe next 3 summers I quit.
