Is this the worst season of big brother US ever?
 

I'm not usually one to jump the gun before a season has ended but this season is just... truly awful. It's totally stagnant in terms of storyline, has a terrible cast and is like a lovechild of BB16 and survivor redemption island.

Is this pretty much concensus already or do we still think 9/14/16/18/other is worse?

For me it's definitely in the bottom dredges but I'm still not sure how I'd rank it among 12/14/16/18 (wow good job Allison, your formula is really working well) and probably won't be sure until the season's near the end. Like, I'd say that so far it's probably better than 14/16/18 for me, but we're like three days into the second half of the season and it already seems irredeemable. It's like we just jumped out of a plane to go skydiving and suddenly realized that we forgot our parachute.

I'm only wiki-watching the season, but from most of the stuff I've read it looks even more insufferable than 14, 16, 18 and 8 :worry:

It´s getting very close. Especially if Paul ends up winning the whole thing.

Nearly as bad as 16

It's the worst I think.

Definitely worse than 12, 16 and 18. I didn't see the second half of 14 so I'm unsure.

At least 16 had Donny and Zack who made it pretty far.

I haven't even watched all the seasons and I think it's getting to that point. Up until, I'd say Jess used the Hex I was really enjoying it because there was so much more drama than 18 which I found really quite boring, but now it's like there's no hope of it getting good and the cast is just TERRIBLE and I can't even blame Paul at this point in time.

That title goes to BB18

Talking of Paul winning, if he does this could end up as my favourite season since BB11

Paul's loss puts BB18 above the other awful seasons :clap1:

Casual viewers may say that as its a very fake show, it's not 'Big Brother' its almost scripted. For feedsters and people following the ins of the show its infuriating however.

It has then potential to be the worst but so far 9 still holds that record. 16 is currently better than it but that could change.

Anything with Sheila in is not the worst season

9 was the worst until BB14 came along[potentially 12 but it was my first season so i have a soft spot for it despite it being kinda dull].

12 was actually not bad in the first half, 16 suffered probably the worst boot order in BBUS history (can we imagine a Devin/Paola/Joey/Brittany final 4 for a moment?), 18 I gave up straight after our heavenly father, the lord, our messiah, Jozea was evicted so I don't really know what happened lol.

So it'd be a toss up against 14 for me which I honestly can't think of a redeemable quality for (well, maybe Joe :love:)

You haven't really missed out on anything then, well other than Natalie/Bridgette/Day tbf but even then they weren't shown that much

The worst 3 are BB19, BB14 and BB18 I agree.

I think BB18 is slightly better than both because pre-jury it was a mess in a good way. It was very entertaining as well, because characters like Tiff, Frank.

Nicole and Paulie sucked out the enjoyment in the second half though.

Whereas BB19 has sucked from pretty early on with the enjoyment being sucked out pre-jury. Also BB14 was just a mess - the cast, the producer involvement, the twist. So it's still between BB14/BB19 for worst season, just narrowing out BB18 for me.

BB18 had Da'Vonne in jury so is automatically better than 14/16/19 etc.

Da'Vonne was not that good lol. And BB18 was dead on arrival, I can't remember a season that was so evidently **** as soon as the feeds turned on. There were exactly five days of entertainment with Paulie's downfall but then it went back to **** again.

BB18 was a frustrating experience as anytime there's hope for something good to happen some ****er ruins it. There's literally only one tolerable person left in the F8 :skull:

I assume you're alluding to Victor.

Michelle/Natalie had phases of being good HM's also.

I liken this season to cancer. It seemed perfectly healthy at first, until a malignant tumor suddenly appeared, and it spread quick. It got to a stage where it became terminal and it's now in its final days.

In regards to it being the worst, I've only seen about five seasons (the good ones) and it doesn't compare, so what do I know.

6/11/17 and what are the other two again? :laugh:

BBOTT isn't worried let's put it that way!

Right now I'd still say 16 and 18 are worse. Despite 19 being awful I did genuinely enjoy the early drama whereas I don't think I enjoyed anything about 16 or 18 (ok maybe Paulie's downfall for the latter but that was only 1 week)

I don't watch BBUS but I've seen plenty of clips to understand the hatred of it. Paul in particular represents one of my most hated TV archetypes, which is a loud overbearing asshole who thinks goading people and loud volume is entertaining for him and his friends and gives him an advantage. Sounds like an utter season ruiner, not that I know much about anyone else in this season.

I can't comment on whether this is the worst season since i've never seen BBUS but i wouldn't hold it against someone to think it is by the looks of things

15 was my least favourite season but 19 overtakes that now.

I think 15 is the only other one I've seen fully oop. I've seen bits of BB2/3.

He's the American equivalent to Bear :joker:

The only seasons i hate are 9/15/19

I love or like or find alright the rest tbh :laugh:

The more I think about it I kinda liken this season to 12? A few Big Characters who make it about halfway to keep your interest temporarily, but once they're gone you come to the sick realization that there isn't even a game being played save for one or two people. Again, I'm someone who doesn't care about good gameplay or bad gameplay but no gameplay is a huge problem since this is, hello, a game show. These people are perfectly content with making jury, openly see Paul playing the game, and just simply do not care a ****. Jason offered to be nominated so that the house wouldn't have the opportunity to flip on Paul. Matt is elated that once Cody is evicted this week Paul can coast until the final five. Alex wants to lose to him in the final two. Now all we need is for Christmas to pull a Britney Haynes and ask "lol so how weird is it that there were no alliances this season?" only for her to get booted in tears at final four. Like, I don't think Jody are similar to Brenchel at all but they serve the same purpose.

alol how sad is it that BB15, the season with a national racism scandal, will be one of the better seasons of the 2010s? That's the grim reality we're facing.

I voted yes because I wanted to agree that LJ is always right ... but also because I gave up on this season, mostly because of what Macie has already said...

I'm surprised BB12 is considered one of the bad seasons, I would've thought people would like it just for Rachel alone :laugh: What's the consensus on BB13?

I think it's almost as bad as BB16 and BB18, but BB18 is slightly above it because there were some entertaining moments, and BB16 is such a low point for this show I don't think anything can be worse than that (though this season is sure as hell trying to be)

^ I think BB13 was pretty good, I know a lot of people don't like it but I don't really know why (apart from the obvious rigging for Rachel)

Rachel is the only reason why BB12 was somewhat enjoyable, as the drama/arguments were almost always revolved around her. Besides that the whole season was dominated by one awful alliance and no one else showed any sense of gameplay, and once she went it was a boring ****fest.

BB13 is usually in the middle of everyone's rankings. I personally enjoy it to an extent as it has a divide and and some drama/arguments to keep you entertained, but it falls flat and the riggage is annoying (although it's the reason someone won so I'm not complaining).

BB13 also gave us the best double eviction of all time <3

12 did have Rachel (and Kathy alol :love:) but it was still soooooo bad and pathetic. There was literally one alliance all season and they steamrolled all the way to the end without much threat or worry at all, to the point where the girl that came in fourth place was like "lol so guys how weird is it that there were no alliances this season????" only for the other three dudes to tell her that they were aligned the whole time and she was getting embarrassingly booted the next day while she sobbed about it. The cast was also pretty tame by BB standards and they were SO convinced that they were making great television that it got to a point in like Week 2 where they had a stupid house meeting and afterwards they were so proud of themselves and all "WOW, they're gonna need to add a fourth episode this week to show all the CRAZINESS and MAYHEM!!!!!" when nothing happened at all and it was a struggle just to fill three episodes. Like, the season doesn't seem bad in hindsight because it was followed up by a bunch seasons that were somehow even worse but it was very bad.

and BB13 is okay. Some good and some bad. An annoying cult of veterans and their worshippers and some likable underdogs. Some semblance of power shifts and some of the most blatant rigs in BBUS history. A mixed bag that is not exactly good, but it shines like a star compared to most of the seasons that preceded and followed it.

Oh I was enjoying it before I went on holiday :worry: I'm guessing it got trash

omg yay Ross is back. But yeah this season has quickly turned grim! The signs were really there the whole time but it's starting to manifest itself big time.

Also, can we talk about how these HGs broke the Temptation Competition even quicker than Battle of the Block was broken? Another lame twist in the books.

Everyone's such a ****ing sheep for Paul and it's so infuriating to watch. Especially with Jess being robbed of jury even though she was the only one playing a rival game. True queen and star of the season.
