Expect the unexpected as I rank every Big Brother contestant through season 16.
195 houseguests over 16 seasons. Some have played more than once. Some played for a matter of days. But how do they stack up against one another? Let's find out.
A disclaimer: Rankings are based on a combination of likability, gameplay, and how entertaining they were to watch on television. Rankings are also only based on appearances in the house. If someone was awful in the house but has proven themselves to be a splendid person in reality, it doesn't count.
Also, if I could rank Julie "Chenbot" Chen, she'd be #1.
CBS
Adam Jasinski
Season: 9
Placed: Winner
The less said about season 9 the better. It's the only season of the show that aired during the winter, in order to fill in the blanks in CBS' schedule from the WGA writers' strike. And it was the most aggressively boring season of Big Brother that ever existed. That's the only way to explain why the worst player in the worst season managed to win the whole damn thing.
The most interesting thing Adam did was get arrested for starting a drug ring with two other contestants from his season.
CBS
Season: 11
Placed: 13th
Braden is one of David Girton's Big Brother ancestors. He was misogynist and racist, which aired on the live feeds and not on the show. He called Kevin a "fucking beaner" and ended up getting kicked out of the house first. His racist rants didn't air on CBS, but they were caught on the live feeds.
Season: 15
Placed: Last
This fun houseguest commented that sheets in the house smelled bad because "black Candice" was on them. Aside from making racist comments, he also got bounced first his season. Good riddance.
