      Well i think it would be more interesting if everyone were to not have an ex like in bb4
      Because if it were equal it would just be one side vs the other and it would kind of be boring
      Because of the unevenness of bb4 it led to the best duo of jun and allison

    I think the pre-existing relationships are definitely cooler when they're an actual twist. The twins, BB6, and some of the BB4 exes were cool to watch play out, tbh!
    Also random note, Carol & Jessica having a pre-existing 'relationship' over lunch money never fails to crack me up💀

      I wonder how it came in the casting process.
      Like the way they find Nakomis and the Exes on BB4 was that they asked about it and the producers found it. And it also happened on BB8, so it funny to think that they asked Jessica that and she said "oh yeah only a woman that still owes me money" and the producers really found them lmao

    A little bit more of a stretch, but I think it’s worth mentioning BB18 that Da’vonne’s vendetta against Tiffany’s sister basically led to Da’Vonne obsessively targeting Tiffany to the point of tanking her own game for it.
    So it’s a pre-existing second-degree relationship that shaped part of the game.

    My biggest gripe with all these pre-existing relationships was that production could never keep it consistent. Having a preexisting relationship with someone adds such a HUGE extra layer to the game, but CBS' casting could NEVER keep it consistent with the exception of BB6. Trying to compare estranged family to lunch money was WILDLY uneven, and only giving 5 out of the 8 houseguests an ex back in season 4 felt SO unfair.

      If you had asked me today who I thought would comment on this video I certainly would not have expected it to be Joe Barber! I was mostly going over these relationships while they were both in the house together and the impact their dynamic had, but you’re right, totally could have at least touched upon that 😂 for what it’s worth I got such a kick going back and watching your hammock scene with Dustin while getting footage for this, truly made that week on the show super interesting (also “immaculately conceived gonorrhea” is an A+ line, I’m finished now)

      @@Ethanimale Thank you so much!! The hammock scene is classic pettiness on my end, but still funny to watch it play out. Also, immaculately conceived gonorrhea definitely had America googling symptoms. Funny story, there were three edits of that opening episode according to production: one where they bleeped and blurred the word and my mouth, one where they said it only once, and then the edit that went to air where they just let it fly!! I am happy with the one they aired, because if they had bleeped it, it could have sounded much worse :)

      Let’s be honest here: they noticed. The casters seem to know everything about their houseguests. And if the fanbase easily notices them before the season starts, just imagine how much professionals know about their own cast. I mean they even knew their ex’s in season 4. There is a 0% shot they didn’t know Tommy and Christie has a relationship.

    BBOTT is clearly the black sheep of the franchise so I understand why you didn’t want to include it, but it’s impressive that siblings Morgan and Alex managed to hide their pre-existing relationship the whole time.
    Even though Alex left relatively early, the bonds and friendships they both formed early on helped position Morgan pretty well for the latter half of the game.

    The guinea pigs, while funny, still irks my soul. Also, I remember when it was (to my recollection) speculated that Kat and Holly “knew” each other, or ran the same circles, outside the house but never thought it was proven… well, until I saw your videos. I just thought they were part of the same scene, but didn’t actually know it. Then again, I never rewatched 19 after it aired, so my memory is really foggy but it.
