#535 Big Brother is more of a slow game. It happens on a week to week basis. Someone wins HOH in a competition, then the HOH puts up two people for eviction. Then there is a POV competition, where the winner has the power to veto one of the HOH's nominees, including themselves, from eviction. If used, the HOH must name a replacement nominee. Then everyone else not nominated except the HOH casts votes to evict in the Diary Room, and the person with the majority is evicted. If there is a tie, the HOH breaks it. Once the jury begins, (historically at 9, recently at 11), so does the endgame. The 7/9 members of the jury vote for a winner of the final 2.

So from a game play perspective, if your on the outs in Survivor it's much harder to survive each vote, but on BB, you can be the last member of your alliance, and win an HOH and that can shake up the dynamics of the house if your a good player. Also, you get more of a luxurious stay on the game.

I think the easier game is BB if you have the patience, because there is also a lot of time for you to make decisions. In Survivor, it's more fast paced.

#536 Yeah I've just started BB and watched the first 3 episodes of Season 10 (till the 1st eviction then stopped for the night) considering they are so isolated and confined I feel BB is a much more psychological game and it's interesting watching people strategise and such

Just based off those 3 episodes BB seems more mentally demanding and less physically demanding while Survivor is more physically demanding but a bit less mentally demanding. Also BB has a shit ton more drama

#539 I agree, I think BB is the more draining game mentality, and part of that is because it lasts well over twice as long. Survivor is the game I would much rather play. Half the time investment, you can actually go off to clear your head instead of being confined in a house/a small backyard, and a million bucks. That said, I enjoy BB slightly more because more eps tends to = getting to know the houseguests better than we get to know Survivor castaways!

#545 Another thing I enjoy more about BB than Survivor is that Survivor is pre-taped, so we can look to the edit, but Big Brother is filmed live, so production has no clue what will happen.

Kelly, who are your favorites so far?

#550 The one thing I don't like about Big Brother is generally the cast is not nearly as diverse as Survivor. It's mostly attractive 20-somethings. Like you would never see Joe or Debbie on Big Brother

#552 I think you would have pre-All Stars, or even until season 10. I agree the diversity is a problem on BB

#553 I was a Michelle, Ollie, Keesha, Memphis, and Libra fan for the first three episodes. And of course Renny.

#554 Well I honestly am biased to Dan because I'm a fan of his youtube channel

I know nothing about him on the show other than he is on BB10 but I know him from before watching it so I am a fan of his and I hope he goes far icon_smile

Otherwise I'm liking Libra, Ollie, and Jerry

Renny and Jessie I already hate lol

Otherwise I don't really have an opinion on the others
