## **History**

### **Big Brother Rebirth 1**

Bradley gave the first season of *Big Brother Rebirth* a 6/10 rating with the following statement:

*"***The Cast:** *One of the main reasons the the rating was solid was because of the iconic cast. Each a familiar face from The Royalty Challenge, the majority of them provided whether they were early boots or not. Starting with the first boot, Jazelle provided us with a meltdowns after being betrayed by former friend Bethany. I wish she had more fight in her because she could have had the votes to stay and it would have been interesting to see the dynamic with her friend turned rival. Next, Ishy was robbed because of a personal matter. Our third boot Jamie remained as a confessional king; and sadly the victim of a last minute vote-flip after failing to find social footing. The biggest pre-jury robbery goes to Alex; always playing to the best of his ability and being entertaining. Despite being a physical threat, he almost stayed in the house but was evicted at the hands of Kay. Our final pre-juror Malik fell victim to a backdoor plan which lead to rivalries with former allies Andy and Jamie. The first jury member Bethany played one of the messiest (in a fun way) games; spilling alliances left and right. Her duo Dorian quickly followed her out the door in the double eviction; and the pair's hilarious jury commentary was a highlight. I wish Dorian got more involved with the season but I know she was dealing with personal things that affected her performance."*

*"Our third jury boot Devin provided controversy; but was able to prove himself as a physical competitor whilst building a solid duo with Sharpy; which ultimately got him evicted. Sharpy himself followed Devin to the jury house after playing a great pre-jury villain game; another player who gave great effort/drive in the game. Gigi became one of the quieter players of the season; but her confessional commentary did provide me with laughs pre-jury. One of my favorite players this season Kay proved herself in ways she hadn't before; aiming for the big male threats with one of the strongest social games in the house. Ultimately, she lost her battle and was evicted by game rival Ryan. Katie was a positive light; always being supportive and ramping up her competition performance to become one of the most underrated players this season. Nick was this season's underdog; and typically made some questionable and frustrating game decisions; none the less was the most entertaining houseguest to witness. He went from pre-jury block star to being voted as Head of Household by the viewers; leading him on a path to more wins. Eventually, Nick's trusting nature got him evicted by Andy after saving him with the veto at final 4. Our final jury member Ryan was one of the stars of the season; his positioning changed from on the bottom to the biggest well-rounded threat in the game. After missed opportunities to take him out, he ultimately got cut by close ally Nicole when she won the final Head of Household. Andy himself was another controversial player; known for confronting/poking at his houseguests when he had something on his mind. Despite his bad jury management, he won Power of Veto's and was another strategic force with his duo Nicole. Our winner Nicole was survived the most this season; being nominated five times and surviving as an UTR threat. Her social and strategic game was admirable; and she did what she had to do when she was finally able to pull-off the final competition win. Both her and Andy's duo alliance was one of the best parts of this season."*

*"***The Gameplay:** *"I felt that the gameplay had a lot of iconic moments this season which made the rating solid. The early game dynamics provided us with close eviction votes where we as hosts didn't know who was leaving. The Ishy vs. Jazelle vote, the vote-flip on Jamie last minute, Kay backdooring Alex followed by Ryan backdooring Malik. Bethany's blindside was also a fun moment as Katie's vote was up in the air; drawing the line to divide The Blood Diamonds (Devin, Katie, Kay and Sharpy) vs. the Whoresome Foursome (Andy, Gigi, Nicole and Ryan). Nick using the veto on Andy to be evicted was another shocking moment. Seeing players such as Andy, Devin, Katie, Kay and Nick shine in competitions was a great contrast to hosting them on The Royalty Challenge. Watching Kay being the only one aware of Ryan's threat status was engaging to watch; as we prayed for a move to be made. Ryan himself was just a phenomenal player to watch navigate through the game. As mentioned before, the fantastic strategic duo Andy/Nicole were entertaining from the day they formed their alliance. Aspects I feel could have made this season better would be more rivalries/game drama amongst the cast; there were a few call-outs but nothing major. Also, the activeness at times was a little disengaging; especially in the house chat. Overall, I am very pleased with this as a first season!"*
