Top 10 Big Brother Players Who Changed the Game 

Vanessa’s chaotic gameplay of emotional manipulation and gaslighting was quite game changing tbh.

Jun and alison are legends, they hated each other, but worked well together

Thank you for giving Marvin the credit he deserves! I feel like Nakomis gets all the credit for the first backdoor because it was her HOH, but Marvin was a huge part in the original plan

Respect to Derrick for playing the cleanest BB game of all time but also shame on him for basically ruining big brother with pioneering the safe big alliances strategy.

Survivor and Big Brother today? We're feeling blessed

Danielle was SO robbed in S3. I’m still pissed about it 😭

Vanessa Rousso kills it for me, although she didn’t win that season, but she did dominate it and take out who she needed too, including her number 2 she started the game with lol, it was one hell of a game play too watch. 🤝 she deserves a second chance, I’d like to see how she’d change her gameplay..

It’s interesting to see how many entries on this list are a group of people instead of just individual players, goes to show how much of a social game BB is

Hayden may have been robbed from being on Survivor Game Changers, but at least he makes this list.

Great list. I would also add Dan for perfecting the art of recognizing when you're drawing dead and being willing to completely blow all of your plans up in order to gain a second life in the game. So few people have the guts to do that and he did it on both of his seasons. In season 10 he had his alliance with Brian and Ollie (plus Angie, Steven, etc.) but when Ollie ratted that out and Brian was evicted, Dan fell on his sword. He laid down, admitted he was dead, and started all over again with Memphis. Then in season 14 he was out the door after Jenn won the veto so he once again blew up Ian's spot and the entire Quack Pack just to get Frank and Jenn on side for the week. It's an underrated position because most go down with the ship. When they get stuck in a corner they either lash out or just admit that they can't win. They feel like they invested too much time and effort into certain alliances and relationships and have burned enough other bridges that there's no second option. Dan always found that option. Plus, unlike Will's never win strategy, (which arguably there were a few times in both season 2 and 7 where he tried to win, lost, and then sold it as a throw) Dan perfected winning when you have to only. He threw most of the time but turned it in only in clutch situations and won as to still appear weak but also be able to make power moves. P.S. I wouldn't call Jun and Alison the old school definition of "floater". I'd call them the CORRECT definition of "floater". The version that Rachel created is just wrong.

first of all: that Chicken George clip at the end is hilarious second of all, a worthy footnote: we saw an almost identical execution of the Brigade blueprint in BBCAN7 with the Pretty Boys

#1 James Hueling for making all future players do stupid pranks 24/7

tiffany creating a secret 6 person alliance with each member having a partner they can all target on jury phase so all them can make it to top 6... I-

As much as I despise the guy, Josh BB19 created the whole "playing the victim, pushing the blame" goodbye messages strategy which led to his win.

The cook out is historic but Tiffany's master plan changed the game

Thank you for including Dr.Will anD Janelle as a duo! I always refer to them as a duo from BB7 and I feel like they are always over looked as a duo cuz of Chilltown and Jaysar!

We need to update this, The Cookout is the most successful alliance in big brother history, not the Brigade. All 6 went to final 6 and no one knew nothing about it

I think we should establish that Floating is a strategy distinct from the other strategy of floating called "Furniture"

I better see my man Chef Joe on this list

Dan! He literally changed the game. A mastermind. Dan’s Funeral was iconic

Peridiam, we know your excited for a new BB season, but 2 uploads in one day, you have to do this more.

Surprised to not see Dan and Vanessa here, but a good list nonetheless!

Request: Road to Victory for all Big Brother winners. Can’t wait to see Kirby, Dan Gheesling, Ian, Derrick and Cody Calafiore.

vanessa, derrick, and paul are the smartest players of all time in my opinion. they did so much but also so little in their season ( so little as in everyone else did their dirty work for them)

Fantastic analysis as always, thanks for making it!

Thank You Peridiam for blessing us with more BB content 😩🙏🏽

I cant wait for the update. The Cookout blew the brigade out the water!!! Those 6 people changed the game forever

I can't wait for an updated version of this type of video. The winner of 24 is a total game changer!

Still can't get around why people hate derrick because he is "boring." That guy played the most flawless single season of big brother ever. He was so good that people have been copying him ever since. He was so good that Cody won a season just by playing exactly his style.

This is top notch content as always!

I’d like to make a case for Nicole from BB2. She was the first to pull off a vote flip and technically created the first majority alliance called “The Other People” which consisted of her, Hardy, Bunky, Kent, Monica and Christa and outnumbered chill town and used Hardy as her meat shield that won comps before Will did it with Janelle it’s just that she was a much bigger comp beast than Hardy was but technically the idea should belong to Nicole Schaffrich and inspired players like Danielle Reyes to play the way that she played (said by Danielle herself) and helped teach us about jury management and how owning your game is important bc that’s essentially what cost her, Will did own his game which is why I think they are two different sides of the same coin and also deserves to be credited for teaching the importance of owning your game as well and are both game changers in a different way

All of these people are legends. I'm about to watch the Premiere and this was a great video to watch beforehand for sure.

Always a good day when peridiam uploads a new vid.

Great list. The Brigade was my favorite.

I think a survivor styled video like this would be pretty cool, as in the survivors that have really changed the game and it’s strategy the most

While Derrick is given credit to creating big alliances and having him safeguarded until the finals, I think Maggie from BB6 was the one to start that trend with the Friendship. She was the magnet that held everything together and ensured to have other players as the target to go home. I guess you could also say that she also implemented the meat shield strategy that has been a main stay strategy in Big Brother nowadays.

two videos in not only one week, but one day? you're spoiling us, peridiam

Great thumbnail! Love the GTA aesthetic

bless up for the peridiam double feature today

Two videos in less than 3 hours?? How did I get so lucky? Lord Peridiam is feeling generous today.

Peridiam over here doing a double upload means only one thing. The season of Big Brother is here! Thank you Survivor, but now it’s time for BIIIIIIG BROTHERRRRRRRR!!

Great list, Daniel is my favourite reality player, was crushed when she lost. Not sure if it's nostalgia, but those early winners seemed superior to the modern players.

2 vids in one day bestie omg

Thank you for mentioning Marvin being involved with coming up with original backdoor so many people don't give him credit

I forgot just how great and entertaining Alison and Jun were.

Two Videos In One Day Awesome.

Marvin came up with the backdoor and don’t get enough credit for it! Marvin also put himself on the block in his own plan!

You gotta respect a player that draws the line down the sand and can also win. I agree with Janelle to an extent. I don't hate floaters but I get the Janelle style.

19:23 would have been the PERFECT place for a BBOTT Cornbread "fuck y'all!" clip LOL

I fkn loved this video

yes big brother videos!

This video taguht me how to tell what strategy people are playing.

It’s giving me cookout vibes love it 🥰 Danielle and Jason or brigade

I'm excited for big brother tonight

Two videos in less than three hours? I'm in.

Something should be said about Victor's ability to reintegrate despite being voted out so many times.

2 EPISODES TODAY?!?! AND ON PREMIER NIGHT?!?!? we must be in Heaven!

Personal cast of 18 BB2 Will BB3 J&D BB4 Jun Allison BB5 Diane BB6 Janelle BB8 Danielle BB10 Dan BB12 Hayden Enzo Rachel BB15 Andy BB16 Derrick Nicole BB17 Vanessa Steve BB18 Paul BB20 Tyler

dam, double upload :D

Definitely need to add Dan. He literally lied to everybody and people knew this but still believed him. He told people to do things that sounded completely irrational and only benefitted him but spun it in a way where they would listen to him and do it. He created elaborate strategies that got him to the final 2 in BB14 when literally everyone was against him (Dan’s Funeral) Janelle was completely right and he was robbed of being the first 2 time winner thanks to a bitter jury

Happy Marvin got credit cause he doesn't get nearly enough. But gotta say Enzo alone is a huge gamechanger. He's truly has the best social game in history and played twice and never was evicted. Tho Enzo never won to me he's a top 5 player ever.

Do you have a video on 'classic floating' versus modern-day floating? If not, that would be so interesting.

I was gonna get on you for making a Survivor video on the Premiere day of BB23 but you redeemed yourself

I think Dan's game in conjunction with Paul's changed the game as people saw how to correctly manage a jury. By a far extent maybe Marissa's win should be talked about too lol

Tyler making final two deals with everyone

Big brother 3 had a great looking cast

watching bb3 rn! spoiled a bit with the footage you showed but whatever the season is old anyways.

PERIDIAM REALLY FEEDING US TODAY

I feel like Memphis and his alliance creation in all stars was legendary. We will have to see if this gets used again

Happy holiday everyone !!

I am so excited for BB23

Matt was one of the best players ive seen play the game very underrated i put him in my top 3

I would actually argue that Dr. Will was not the first floater, but rather it was Krista, who floated between both sides of the house in the way that floaters later would. Frankly, Will mostly attached himself to Nicole and Hardy, and then threw a comp to screw them in the endgame once they finally didn't have an HOH

I think Paul could be in pt2, showed us how to maintain the modern day jury

Now we can add the Cookout. Like it or not they have LITERALLY changed the game forever

Not only did you miss a few, you missed an entire video's worth 10 players who negatively changed the game. Now, Im not saying they are bad players or people, my favorite houseguest is one of them, but people like Justin and getting expelled, Players of BB4 not using the vetoes, Jase creating a macho men's alliance, The Nerd Heard in of itself, And Evil Dick's spawns that were casted in future seasons (james, russell, brendan, and even what they hoped for in Adam) Rachel's furthering of the hatred towards Floaters, Willie's attack on Joe, Aaryn, Amanda, and Gina Marie causing the fans to turn on the show, Devin for creating the initial 8 person alliance, Austwins for just being a creepy group (also showmances taking over) Nicole's sleeper strategy, Paul and his minions, Level 6 targeting themselves, and whatever bb21 and 22 were... Sorry for the long comment, I loved this video and think you hit all of the positive notes, except for... Chicken George! In both of his seasons! He almost organized a mutiny which helped producers decide to change the format, and he introduced us to the loveable parental figure, and in season 7 engrossed us with his never give up strategy, that seen him just enjoy being there. Chicken George doesn't get enough credit for everything he has done for the show. Please make a video for Chicken George!

i would say dan in both 10 and 14 did things that couldve been game changing but nobody picked them up. in 10 he intentionally put up memphis in order to hide their alliance, while in 14 he actually did bring in influence from survivor's rob cesternino, tweaked rob's conversation with matthew in final 7 of the amazon, and added some flare partly out of necessity due to how bb works and the specifics of the house that week and that was what became the famous/infamous dan's funeral. but like i said nobody picked any of that up. then dan's deal with ollie at f7 in 10, which eventually became replacement nominee roulette. dan's strength aside from when he had time to think was macgyvering scraps of plans together to make something unique to the situation that usually worked. but that's something not often emulated other than in dan specifically.

Please do this for Canada too!

Peridiam can you do a tier list on survivor individual immunities

If prediam ever whent on BB, surrvour or the amazing race, the amount of content opportunity would be impeccable

i really think azah from this season could really shake up the house and be a good competitor. from the feeds, she already seems tight with derek f and i’m not sure but i think she has an alliance with travis and kyland. not to mention she is in what i think is probably going to be the more dominant team, the jokers. it’s around day 3-4 and she already put herself in a perfect position

Why do people act like bb2 is the first season😭

Tiffany took Enzo idea and made about race!

Enzo is the creator of the brigade, no? Thanks so much for including Marvin in this! He deserves so much more credit than he gets. Dont see derrick as an amazing player but hes defs a game changer. Wouldnt Jeff/jordan or Rachel/brendon be considered game changer too? Theyre the reason why showmances get targetted early

Britini D’Angelo is next

I do think the cookout will end up changing the game somehow but we can’t know till future seasons🖐

You should do a big brother tier list

Come on man - Enzo put the Brigade together and led it the whole season. He called all the shots, including booting Matt out. Meow Meow gets the credit!

Danielle and Derrick had virtually the same MO, just in different "eras" of the game.

If you made this video post-BB23, would Tiffany’s master plan/the Cookout‘s 100% success rate make the top 10?

Dan goat Gheesling should be on this list. He revolutionized the game.

Today is a blessed day

TL; DW Below: . . . . . . . . . . . . 1. Dr. Will Kirby 2 & 3. Danielle Reyes & Jason Guy 4 & 5. Jun Song & Alison Irwin 6 & 7. Nakomis Dedmon & Marvin Latimer 8. Janelle Pierzina ---- w/ Dr. Will Kirby (again) 9. The Brigade ---- Lane Elenburg ---- Matt Hoffman (Special Mention for coming up with the idea) ---- Hayden Moss ---- Enzo Palumbo 10. Derrick Levasseur

Paul on season 19 for making the friendship cult

The Jiggly Jokers lmfao

What about the strategy of keeping a player in the game who's not a threat and nobody will vote for to win in the end?

I agree with every choice except Derrick

Maybe paul and Tyler as Honorable mentions?

bb and survivor in one day

Now add The Cookout 😅
