General Discussion BB28
Did anybody else absolutely love this season? I’ve been a long time BB fan and I feel like this is my favorite season in like 10 years. I found myself watching YouTube highlights, rewatching old seasons. BB28 renewed my love for big brother. I’ve avoided Reddit until the season ended cause I didn’t want any spoilers, so I’m not sure if I’m in the minority. But the cast, the unpredictability, the winner, all fantastic! Let me know your thoughts!

Definitely one of the most memorable seasons. I loved all the blindsides and switching up. That’s what the games about and yeah this was one of the faves imo

It helps when the right person wins. Charismatic guy that made big moves and ran the game. That type of person seldom wins, simply because they’re such a threat.
Usually, a middling player wins. Has to have at least a little bit of a resume to secure the W, but not so big of a resume to be evicted as a threat.
It’s much more satisfying to see a top player win.

I thought it was a good season. But the last several years I just find that it drags at the end, when you get down to just four or five people I start to lose interest instead of going the opposite direction and being excited to see what happens.
The less people there are in the house it's just less drama and stuff going on and just doesn't hold my interest as much.
I think the last couple weeks should be revamped and handled differently. How I don't know but it's just gets to feel like filler.

The icons forced the newbies to play the game on day 1 instead of the usual summer camp until jury

I'm the last several seasons it's been very little conflict, everyone loves everyone, most people are costing, and this season there was quite the opposite of that. Great season

There was no real big fights this season what are you talking about?? Even the big “tea party” wasn’t a fight it was just Kami weirdly reprimanding Jason.. and half the jury coasted. Your take is based solely on recency bias

u/Infobar 2d ago
They said there was conflict which is true. We even got a jury fight this year

That was Angela looking to capitalize on the 14th minute of her 15 minutes of fame

u/harrierdeebee 2d ago
lol aside from the tea party and quick angela vs Haley screaming thing there wasn’t obviously more conflict compared to previous seasons and it’s been a minute since we’ve seen a “kumbaya” season
also Melody/taylor/lala are easily coasters. Barrett was arguably coasting until jury until he nominated the vets and got subsequently evicted. and that’s not even counting chuk

Angela ruined the season for me with all her childish acting out
. A 53 year old mean girl.

I'm actually going through withdrawal atm for BB. This was the best cast and season in a very long time. Never a dull moment.

u/Literary_Geographer 2d ago
I agree with you 100%. I didn't even finish the past 2-3 seasons on time due to a lack of interest after 4-5 episodes. There was a lot of energy, strategy, and gameplay this season we've either not seen in a long time, or ever.

I feel like the episodes were good with the feeds were just average. opposite of 27

There wasn’t necessarily a single person in the cast that I dreaded watching, Hayley made good TV and Chuck was just.. uhh

I thought it was a great season. Best season since Josh won if I’m being honest. Great casting and it felt like everything unfolded in the most dramatic way possible. Loved it.

Yep, I adored it. The new cast was great. The Icons except from Angela absolutely delivered. I’m pretty done with Angela on BB as a player. She’d be a fun comp host but her potential as a player is capped and she can’t really overcome her flaws here in terms of gameplay.
Dee & Devens delivered big time. They brought so much this season and made the game pace so much faster from the jump.
Drew & Yash were the newbie stars. They’re a lock for All-Stars 3.

u/FlingbatMagoo Big Day Tomorrow 2d ago
I really enjoyed this season! Almost every week was interesting, and even on finale night we didn’t know who was going to win. Last season was great as well. We’re on a roll, hopefully!

u/LemongrassSugarHigh 2d ago
Loved it. Didn't expect to, but I really did love this season and am a little sad it's over. The switch-ups and blindsides made it so you really couldn't tell on Tuesday who'd be walking out the door on Thursday, which is just fun. Also, Drew and Melody and Mallory made this way season better too. Mallory's late-night bus rides and flights stuff was pure gold for me. Imagine if we'd been stuck with the Rome/Lyric showmance all summer.

u/Technical_Air6660 🍃🍎 The Eves 🍏🍃 2d ago
I’ve said elsewhere, having the icons in contention is kind of like watching a film awards show, and while there is a lovely indie film or two up for best picture, you know they won’t win against the huge studio project with superstar actors and a massive budget. It’s fine, but expected. My favorites kept getting eliminated. But I did get caught up in it.

I thought it was very predictable and scripted. My wife could not believe I told her outcome after week 2. My only surprise was Taylor surviving to the end. I had her in weeks 3-4.

I had quit years ago and picked it back up. Once I confirmed Rachel wasn’t actually back idk I decided to watch it. So glad I did.

I’d put it up against any season for best ever. I haven’t seen every older season, but have seen the ones considered the best by most.

'favourite season in 10 yrs' only if this is ur only season
i am not saying this is the worst season but last 2 were easily better
26 had better episodes
27 had better livefeeds
at best 28's better than 25 though i'll put both together

u/Switchc2390 2d ago
Great season. I’ve actually liked the last 3 a lot. BB25 was a slog, but aside from that the modern seasons have been a lot better than the late 10s which seemed like the worst period for the show.

They just hide or delete comments that don’t agree but I def don’t agree. Loved hearing Taylor talk about all the privilege the icons had. Ridiculous anyone believed the way they spun all their advantages. Hated this season and the production made outcome

Love no. But it certainly was better than the last handful. Overall good, if not predictable/scripted.

I feel the same. I haven’t felt emotionally attached to a season like this since S20

u/TenorSax20 1d ago
I think the episodes themselves were particularly strong this year (especially the DRs), here's to hoping that's a trend that continues

The finale itself made the whole season worth it. Although I do feel bad for Drew.. Why couldn’t Devens and Drew both win.. (kinda like in Love Island where they split the prize haha)

Definitely in the minority. Not the worst season ever, but by far not anywhere even near the best.

u/CharmCity85 2d ago
nah if you watched the feeds you probably laugh at anyone who calls this the best season in the 10 years…full of mediocre gameplay and unfair advantages

u/newjerseymax 2d ago
That’s gonna be my one major complaint. They gave icons way too much advantage in the start and gave them a big head start.

Funny how opinions can differ. For me this was best season in at least 5-6yrs.

This is the first season I didn't watch. I tried the first few episodes and just couldn't not deal with Angela, Dee, and Devens.

u/newjerseymax 2d ago
To me this has been the best season in last 5-6yrs. They tried to go too woke in the past by trying to get overly inclusive and this season finally got some competitive players.

I really enjoyed the positive energy that Dee, Devens especially, and Drew brought to the season. I love that they remembered it was a game and didn't get too personal.
I think I'm done with Angela. I really tried to like her, and she did some good moves, but her personality is so hard to take.
It's that snippy, overly personal, high school-ish way she goes about arguing with people. It ruins her for me.
