So because this season was so amazing I'm doing big-ass writeups for my final ranking to generate some more discussion post-BB so without further a due:

Spoiler:



17. Austin Matelson

I don’t even know where to begin with Austin. I swear to God we haven’t had somebody who epitomizes the word loser on Big Brother as much as Austin does. I’m gonna just start with the only two positives I have on Austin at this point in time.

1. He came up with my favourite alliance name in “Sicko’s, weirdos, freaks, alternative lifestyle group” which is just too amazing of a throwback not to get some recognition.

2. He was so tragic that it was pretty entertaining to watch bad stuff happening to him over and over again. Watching him plead to Vanessa not to be backdoored is honestly a season highlight for me. Plus the temporary end of Liztin was kinda satisfying to watch (but not totally) and of course, the barefoot eviction, where apparently during the pre-recorded show he was begging for Vanessa to change her vote. These were three really satisfying moments in the season which almost made his long stay worthwhile, but it just wasn’t and here’s why.

Firstly, let’s start off with Judas. A huge problem with reality television is that you’re inevitably going to get contestants who will play up to the cameras for a bit of attention and the dumbest way of doing this is coming up with an alter-ego. If I was working in casting and someone came in telling me they would have an alter-ego named “Judas” I’d probably ask them if they were actually 10 years old and shoo them away. It’s just so dumb, corny and contrived and I’m so glad that the other houseguests ripped into him for it.

Now onto… ugh… Liztin. I literally cannot fathom what anyone could see in him. The long hair, the ponytail beard I mean sweet Judas why do that to yourself? But the fact they were so mismatched isn’t even the start of what was wrong with this showmance. Firstly the fact he had a girlfriend on the outside in the first place was flat out gross and judging by the letter he wrote her it sounds like he was messing her around in the first place. Then the fact he was so possessive of Liz not letting her hang out with… Jeff I think? And constantly being around her even though she wasn’t attracted to him I swear she got Stockholm Syndrome or something that’s the only explanation. I mean it’s not really a good sign for your relationship when your first kiss is a sneak attack. He kinda had misogynistic tendencies as well like when he kept saying he needs to protect her despite her being undeniably better at comps and her social game was pretty much protecting herself. Then calling her a bitch and throwing food at her because she said she doesn’t like his chicken. Oh yeah and during the temporary breakup he was trying to blame Liz for ruining his life.

But he didn’t stop sucking after he left the house, he continued to be a bitter little bitch in jury and saying how “flawed” Vanessas game is only to be schooled by Queen of Jury house Shelli Poole I think he became in on the joke of how much of a loser he was in the finale which was good to see.

So to summarise Austin kinda had a good story arc but on the whole it just felt that he lasted too long and there was too many flaws in him to warrant him staying for so long. In all honesty he probably wouldn’t be in my bottom 20 houesguests of all time and I think that it’s a testament of how great this cast is.


Spoiler:



16. Jace Agolli

It’s always an instant boost to a season when somebody you know is going to be awful is taken out of the season ASAP (Amanda in BB4, Mike in BB5, Jacob in BB9, Braden in BB11, David in BB15) and Jace now joins that group.

So Jace was probably cast as Hayden 2.0 or David 3.0 or Braden 4.0 so from the get go we should’ve known he’d suck (actually Hayden is ok but you get the idea.) He kinda ran around the house like David and Braden in a socially unaware and obnoxious way and immediately had some sort of “brocode” segment with Austin where you’re watching him thinking “Dude, shut up.” It’s genuinely no wonder why he was out first when he’s annoying the **** out of everyone on like… the first night? He reminds me of that person you meet at a party who joins the conversation, starts talking about something nobody cares about and keeps talking about it while everyone walks away until he joins another conversation. Anyway, social unawareness isn’t something I generally dislike in a houseguest (many of my favourites in BBUS are socially unaware) but the way he does it is more irritating than entertaining.

Anyway, as if Jace wasn’t annoying enough, once he got nominated he just turned into this sore loser demon getting into arguments with Audrey and James who wouldn’t take any of his crap. Unnecessarily being a dick to Steve pretty much sealed his fate for me so I was more than happy to see his ass walk out the door.

His story arc is gloriously topped off by his picture on the memory wall being replaced by Julia’s, because nobody cares about Jace lol owned.

tyty I just think this is a great and generally very interesting cast so there's a lot to discuss. It's the most invested I've been in BBUS since BB13 so I've got a lot of thoughts on almost everyone and I'd love to hear other peoples take on the houseguests and the season as a whole.

Spoiler:



15. Steve Moses

When the cast was released and we were thrown this Ian Terry 2.0 I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. After all his work is in music and his favourite player was Danielle Reyes so I felt a connection to him already. He started out alright being very well mannered and calling out some misogyny (I can’t remember from who probably Jeff) but he was pretty irrelevant for the entirety of the pre-jury portion of the game.

BUT EVEN THEN Steve was showing immediate signs of being a hell-demon with his irrational hatred of Becky. I don’t know where it came from but it just wasn’t fun in any way. However, the true hell-demon emerged in Steve when he became HoH in the double eviction and decided to take a shot at ADC by eliminating Jackie who wasn’t even coming after him leaving us with yet another disappointing double eviction (Seriously have we had a good double eviction since BB13? It’s kinda depressing.) Also despite being well mannered etc he spent like a week making fun of James (who was hanging out with him out of sympathy) saying his penis was small because he's Asian which was really uncomfortable.

The awkward Steve talking to cameras or putting up an ironing board segments were really irritating because production were really trying to push him as a favourite but not even the casuals were eating that **** up

The fact he won does bother me a bit because he essentially played the same game as Ian: floating through the first half, joining the majority alliance and winning competitions in the last few weeks. It just sours the season as a whole for me and even Ian > Steve tbh.

So to summarise there’s always an annoyance in every series, someone who on a personal level you don’t really have strong feelings on but their game decisions or general demeanor are just irritating and drag the season down (See: Adam Poch). It’s unfortunate that it was Steve because it was so predictable that he would be that person. Do I think he’s a bad guy? No. Would I get on with him? Probably. Was he a good Big Brother houseguest? No.



14. Jeff Weldon

It’s kinda hard to write about Jeff because I don’t really remember him doing anything. I remember people really hated him at the time but he’s just nothing more than a standard douchebro really. A lot of people seem to think that he was giving Liz attention that she didn’t want but… she seemed pretty fine with it and wanted to use it to her advantage as strategy so it wasn't really unwanted. But yeah he was totally all over the girls constantly, called Da’Vonne a bitch, Becky a gold digger, said he wanted to break down Steve emotionally (as if that’s difficult lol but still) he’s just a douche really. Not painful to watch just mildly unpleasant. His ridiculously awkward intro shot legit makes me laugh every time though… and that’s kinda all I have to say on him, I genuinely can’t remember him oops. Also he's a dick on twitter and said after the finale CBS hates him (yeah so much they put him on Big Brother).

14. Jeff
15. Steve
16. Jace
17. Austin

okay some abbreviated (or not so abbreviated) thoughts on LJ's write ups so far!

Austin: I agree on the low placement but I don't totally hate him anymore? He's just sooooooooooo pathetic that like 10% of the time it wraps around to being funny? Like during Liz's HOH reign when Vanessa had her meltdown in the hammock and was like "I just miss Mel ;_;" and Steve was like "hey Van idk if you knew this but I miss my mom " and Austin immediately chimes in "I miss Liz when she's in the DR " without a hint of irony and his final vote comment about The Heart Wants What It Wants did make me chuckle, I'm ashamed to admit. But yeah, the rest of Austin sucks. It's weird though because he actually did well socially in the house despite having so many obvious personality turn offs? His Vanessa groveling is probably one of the best skills one could have on a season like this so that def helps his gameplay in my books.

Jace: Thank God. The less said the better. Bro culture is legitimately one of the worst things ever created. The only good thing he did was pull Steve aside and "campaign" because it was hilarious even though Jace was a huge douche to him. Also, I thought he completely made up Geek Squad Mickey/McGee but then it turns out Austin called Steve that once behind his back? Of course he did.

Steve: I don't really think I have much to say? He's just such an afterthought that I don't really have an opinion on him. Like, he sucks as a winner but only in the context of this final three. I think I prefer him to Ian but is that really an accomplishment? Okay I've had enough of Geek Squad Mickey (although the list on Reddit about all the things he can't do and didn't know is HILARIOUS I need to link it soon)

Jeff: I know most people hate him or don't care but I have a lot of tolerance for him! Everything you said is true, but I just love how Jeff is soooooooooo insecure and full of self-loathing and paranoia and butthurt feelings. Like, his entire first week was just a giant meltdown because Austin said he had a dad bod and he really was the second most paranoid scheming person after Audrey in the early weeks so I kinda dug it. He also did a hilarious Periscope in the back of a taxi last night bitching about how half of Pre-Jurors were ignored BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE PRODUCTION SAID THEY MADE THE SEASON and it was just sooooo desperate I couldn't handle it

John: I think I made my feelings clear on him throughout the season. I really just don't get the appeal. Like, are we supposed to like him because he's nice (which we're just supposed to assume he is bc he's a str8 white male)? Are we supposed to like him because he's an underdog? I don't get it. He wasn't funny or ANYTHING, he just yelled in the DR in a fake wacky voice and read his scripted lines from the cue cards. And like you said, he didn't have any game, and even though I don't normally care about game, it was just sooooooooo annoying and frustrating to hear him throw yet another Competition. HE LEGITIMATELY WANTED TO THROW THE FINAL FIVE POV WHEN HE WAS NOMINATED JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER TIMES HE THREW COMPETITIONS LITERALLY JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ASKED HIM TOO WHAT THE **** IS YOUR PROBLEM not to mention crying actual tears over Clelli and all that. No thx.

Liz and Julia: I'm soooooo hear for the twins. Obviously the twin gimmick works in their favor, but I find them cute and fun and funny, both intentionally and unintentionally. Sigmund Freud was legitimately hilarious, and I loooooooooooove the way they speak even though everyone else hated it I knowwwwwwuuhhhhhhhh / Steeeeeeeeeeevvuhhhhhh / Jameeessssssuhhhhhhhhhh. I was just here for it. I was definitely #TeamLiz over her goodbye message to Jason because holy **** Jason doesn't age well at all and I want his ass out soon. And Julia throwing Austin's clothes around and doing her "I'm Judas" dance was a top 10 moment I don't know, it's hard to write about the twins because they weren't really about moments, just about the whole being. Julia is definitely the better twin like you said btw.

Yeah like I said Austin wouldn't even touch my bottom 20 and I considered swapping him with Jace because he is so pathetic it gave some funny moments. He could be like Luke Scrase from BB13UK where I hated him at the time but on reflection he's a hilarious human being. For now though I'm just so over him.

I really wanted to like the twins almost solely because of the way they speak I do honestly think that Liz played a better game and was kinda robbed.

13. John "Johnny Mac" McGuire

Sorry for the male slaughter for real, but the male casting this season wasn't great tbh. John without a doubt had the biggest fall from grace for me this season. He started out very dorky and very likeable and his cast bio had great gems such as:

Quote:
Three adjectives that describe you: Ninja-esque, klutz, and eccentric.
Favorite Activities: Playing guitars, lifting, running mud races, and occasionally getting drunk and dominating in a video game with my friends.
Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most: This changes a lot as I get older. Right now, I'm going to avoid saying that I have ever liked anyone because my next sentence would confirm I'm a hypocrite. I hate watching nerdy know-it-alls like Ian, Nicole and Derrick because they let their knowledge of the game turn into hero worship and it's not what I watch the game for.
What are you afraid of: That the ’90s won't come back.
What would you take into the house and why: I would bring a Rubik’s cube to see who was smart enough to figure it out and get rid of them immediately. Also, maybe some shiny objects to distract the other ones, and a dragon.
The thing with Johnny Mac is that despite being a fan favourite there’s really not a lot to say about him. He had occasional kooky moments such as randomly building a cereal box fort in the kitchen and saying random odd comments but otherwise he was pretty much a made up diary room personality. It was so funny when he tried to put his wacky character on when Julie was talking to him in one of the eviction episodes and everyone was just looking at him like “0___o…the ****?” And on that note his eviction speeches weren’t funny at all. They were just really awkward. Joe Arvin you are not. He just tried too hard a lot of the time and if you’re gonna try hard to be hilarious at least 1. Be funny in the first place and 2. Actually be funny when you’re trying (See: Talla Rejaei).

The worst thing about John is the fact he threw so many competitions and we lost so many gems because of him being a puppet. Like I’m honestly a firm believer that you shouldn’t base your opinion on a houseguest through their gameplay but through their character, but for the first time I found myself getting frustrated with John just following what other people wanted to do and losing superiors in the meantime.

To Johns credit he was occasionally dorky fun, moreso in the beginning before you realised how one note he is. I can't really criticise Austin for having an alter-ego when Johnny Macs entire persona was an alter-ego.

So yeah, for somebody who’s perceived as a big character… he’s really not. The thing is if you put all the houseguests personality traits on paper John would probably top 3 at least, but between the forced DRs and being the houses bitch his personality just didn’t match up, so he places here for me.


lolsorry I had to

12. Liz Nolan

As if it was a question that Liz was going to be the first of the twins out. I mean Liz definitely made more of an impact on the season but I prefer Julia's low-key snark.

I’ve already gone over the relationship with Austin but why enter a showmance with him when 1. He’s a ****ing ogre and 2. He somehow already has a girlfriend. I really got Alison vibes from her when she was using flirting as a strategy but Austin pretty much shut that down so I think a lot of potential that Liz had was numbed by the showmance.

The one thing that really grinded my gears with Liz is her smarmy eviction votes and goodbye messages, telling Jason “Have fun watching from your moms basement” when… she too lives with her mom? I totally get that Jason was nasty about her too but she pretty much insulted many millenials that can't leave home because of their financial situation and that just grossed me out. Just generally as the season progressed she just made nasty comments about a lot of the houseguests. I mean bitching is totally understandable when you’re stuck in a house with the same people for almost 100 days of course you’re going to find things you hate about them, but a lot of the stuff she said and did was unnecessarily mean, like on Megs eviction week throwing all her stuff around the room.

I mean she had her moments, the twins together were cute and funny but idk, not really enough for me to like them. Sigmund Freud instead of Siegfried and Roy Walking out of the nomination ceremony is kinda iconic too lol. Like I said earlier I think she definitely has potential but it was floundered by her showmance and being in a position of power throughout the game.



11. Julia Nolan

Julia is the -_- to Liz’s ^_^ and has a lot more sense about her, such as having the sense to realise how disgusting Austin is for Liz (although her thoughts change) and straight up calling him shady to his face, I had a lot of hope for her when she actually came into the house. When she went into the house though she became really under the radar and alike to Liz just was just nasty about other houseguests. She had a bit of redemption in her eviction week though by throwing Austins clothes across the room and picking Austin to face off against her in the veto is so dumb but hilarious and started an amazing chain of events so I’m grateful to her for that.

I don’t really have that much else to say about Julia that isn’t already in my write up for Liz and that’s possibly because she didn’t really do that much, so I’ll end it here.

I mean I would rank them but I don't think there's any topping LemonJam so just know that Jackie and James would be at the top and Steve, Austin, Jeff, Jace et al would be lurking in the dark depths of the late teens

Didn't watch the season fully, stopped once it reached final 6 but nonetheless...

1. John
2. James
3. Jason
4. Da'Vonne
5. Vanessa
6. Audrey
7. Becky
8. Steve
9. Jeff
10. Jackie
11. Shelli
12. Meg
13. Jace
14. Liz
15. Julia
16. Clay
17. Austin

Moderately liked 1-5 and didn't care for/disliked the rest. Wasn't the greatest cast in my opinion, but I also think it was better than some of the recent BBUS casts we've had. The issue for me was that there wasn't anyone I actively wanted to root for, which made it less interesting for me as I couldn't be as invested in the show.

tbh i actually forgotten about him and he didn't give me much of an impression just that he was catty towards the twins I only care about my top 6 but not too much they wouldn't make my top 30.

Fair enough. One of my favorite things about him was that he was such a superfan and would talk about BBUK and BBCAN on the feeds all the time. He stanned Naeha and Willow too I didn't watch a minute of feeds after he left actually, so maybe in hindsight he really was my favourite of the season.

I'm glad he was catty towards the twins. They were awful to him and were useless bitchy castings imo. Plus Jason and Day were the cutest little friendship!

him being a superfan is the only thing i like about him but him and the twins were as bad as each other imo i probs liked him more if he stuck around.

10. Jason Roy

Jason is somebody I should be able to relate to being a working class kid stuck in retail in his mid-20’s (although I’ve moved up in the world and transferred my extensive life skills to bar work) so I was rooting for him a little bit going into the season. So he went through the season being sort of fun but nothing really that memorable. His friendships with Da’ and Meg were pretty cute and his pure hatred for Frankie Grande was hilarious and he gave pretty good confessionals.

But for all the times he called other girls bitch he was really the biggest one, like calling Liz trash even though as far as I know she didn’t have a bad word to say about him until his eviction. In the twin twist calling one twin “fat Beth” as well was really gross. Also saying Audrey was lying about being transgender isn’t really a highlight. Although everyone seemed to love it I had to cringe at “I don’t trust nobody with a damn penis.” Like granted the male casting this season wasn’t great and I’m a strong supporter of feminism myself but it’s just awful to actively avoid men and **** like that is exactly what gives feminists a bad name.

He did feel a bit try hard at times. For example when he said “Me and Da’Vonne aren’t afraid to snatch a wig” but the only time he “snatched a wig” was when the entire house was already ganging up on Audrey anyway. He didn’t say anything when he got blindsided by Vanessa so I’m not really ready to believe that.

So in summary I wasn’t really a Jason fan, which is probably an unpopular opinion but oh well lol. It’s a shame really because he did feel much more ~real~ than most casting we’ve had.



9. Meg Maley

Okay so I really like everybody from here so even though she’s at #9 I still think Meg is fantastic. Who knew that the Meg Griffin of the house would actually be called Meg. It’s just too perfect. Like for example a girls alliance was immediately made without her in it like… did they forget she was there or… and not necessarily a Meg moment, but it needs to be acknowledged that in the BB Comic book task everybody gets really cool superheroes and Meg gets:



As gross as they edited it to be #BBScandal is probably one of my favourite moments of the season because it was so unexpected. One thing they NEED to do in BBUS is to give them more alcohol in general, but especially during comps. The competitions really drag the show sometimes so if you pump some mimosas into their systems and let them get messy it’d be a much better experience (Lydia’s drunken veto meltdown is still so clear in my mind to this day )

But yeah, Meg. I absolutely love her gloriously animated face which was constantly so ^_^. My favourite example of Meg’s ^_^ personality is when Audrey and Da’Vonne (I think?) are having a heated discussion in the HoH room and Meg just bursts in with “There you bitches are!” Even when she infamously smashed her head in the PoV I noticed she was still smiling immediately afterwards lmao. Being a grandma and being terrible in challenges was kinda amusing, but eventually I was over it. Losing in every single comp just ended up becoming frustrating to me anyway because it just meant that post Becky-HoH felt like only 2 people were really playing for the James/Jackie/Meg trifecta. Also not a fan of Meg’s transphobic comment about Audrey (Jason, John and Meg were discussing whose bed Steve would sleep in because he didn’t want to sleep with a girl, Meg muttered under her breath “sleep with Audrey”. NOT COOL) But to conclude, Meg’s just a very warranted positive presence in the house but essentially she was a non-entity in the grand scheme of things. If Meg were able to realistically make an impact on the game she'd probably be a lot higher (just imagining a Meg HoH makes me feel warm inside idk why) but otherwise Meg is pretty great.
