Five Drinks Into Reality TV: Big Brother 20 Game and Show Rankings Week 1

Tom's Take



What a great start to a season. We've got powers, we've got a last minute vote flip, and we've got a complete lunatic winning HOH. This should a fun season.

Not giving me a lot on feeds. Angela is hot, which seems to be her prime selling point. She was on the right side of the first vote, which is something I guess. 

Preseason Prediction: 9th Place
1st Week Prediction: 9th Place


2. Rockstar

On the wrong side of the first vote, but quickly becoming Twitter's favorite. Rockstar is in a completely doomed alliance, but I think she's got enough capital with people that she'll be around for a while. And she could emerge as a player later in the season. 

Preseason Prediction: First Boot
1st Week Prediction: 3rd Place 

3. Bayleigh

Bayleigh is a part of #SwaggyBay. And unfortunately I don't think SwaggyBay is one of those showmances that goes the distance. I think its one of those showmance that goes real early. 


Preseason Prediction: 11th Place
1st Week Prediction: 12th Place

4. Brett

Brett is definitely a douche canoe. But he owns the role so well that he kinda pulls it off. Its impressive. I don't really think Brett will win BB20, but he's going to be a factor much longer than I originally anticipated. 

Preseason Prediction: 12th Place 
1st Week Prediction: 5th Place

5. Swaggy C

God bless Swaggy C and his messy ass. He goes around telling people he's running the house, and then is shocked when they don't follow him. He's going to be a mess, and I hope he makes it far, but I have serious doubts. 

Preseason Prediction: 6th Place
1st Week Prediction: 15th Place

Fessy Fessy Fessy. Somehow your week 1 love triangle ended up murdering poor Steve, cuz you lost control of crazy Kaitlin. Based on that alone, I no longer think you're the most boring hg. But boy oh boy, are you going to have trouble getting anywhere this season. 

Preason Prediction: 13th Place
1st Week Prediction: 13th Place

7. Haleigh

The third in the Kaitlin/Fessy/Hayleigh love triangle, Hayleigh is probably the best player of the three. She is a master flirt, who has peeped how dangerous a player Tyler is. Will she be able to do anything about it? Who know. I actually kinda hope so, but I'm not currently betting on it. 

Preseason Prediction: 15th Place
1st Week Prediction: 11th Place

8. JC

Tyler, JC is not. But he's also much much more than our original minion fucking estimates called him out to be. Make no mistake, JC is here to play, and I can actually see him pulling this thing out. 

Preseason Prediction: 4th Place 
1st Week Prediction: 4th Place

9. Kaitlyn

The Messy Queen herself. Kaitlin is all over the place. Giving us amazing drama, with her messy messy game. She seems to have been scooped up by Tyler for now, but we'll see how long that lasts. Regardless, she is amazing television. 

Preseason Prediction: 2nd Place
1st Week Prediction: 2nd Place

10. Kaycee

Who? Kaycee has completely faded into the background on BB20, which may be to her benefit, but I do not see her being a potential winner of this season. 

Preseason Prediction: 14th Place
1st Week Prediction: 6th Place

11. Rachel

Rachel is with the Level 6 alliance. I've got nothing much else to report. It seems like she'll be evicted later than Winston and Angela. 

Preseason Prediction: 10th Place
1st Week Prediction: 8th Place
12. Sam

Sam Sucks. People only like her because of the robot. Other than that, she's terrible. 

Preseason Prediction: 5th Place
1st Week Prediction: 10th Place


13. Scottie

Poor Scottie lost his bud. I think Scottie remains a contender, but not in a dominate the game kind of way, but in a sneak up at the end kind of way. Which means Tyler will have to keep his eyes open and clip him quicker rather than later. 

Preseason Prediction: 3rd Place
1st Week Prediction: 7th

14. Steve

I actually think Steve played the first week about as well as he could have. His boot had very little to do with him.

Preseason Prediction: 8th Place
16th Place

Every season we get the emergence of a new sensation. A fun new mastermind to talk about (except BB19 which recycled BB18's fresh new mastermind, but without the other really enjoyable characters, primarily Natalie). Never has that mastermind been delivered to us in the package of a dudebro. It is surprisingly refreshing. I am excited to see how Tyler's saga plays out this season!


Preseason Prediction: 7th Place

16. Winston

Disregard everything I said about Winston in the preseason. He's not good. Very not good. 

Preseason Prediction: Winner
