In this episode of Trivia Tangents, I quiz my little brother on his absolute favorite show: BIG BROTHER. He’s basically a walking encyclopedia of the series: he knows every winner, watches the live feeds, and can break down the most complex strategies like a true superfan.

Even though I’m the one asking the questions, he ends up teaching me so much about the show — from what a “backdoor” is to why being the first houseguest is actually a curse. We get into competition strategies, iconic Big Brother lingo, and how you’d even begin to train if you wanted to be a contestant yourself.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or have no idea what Big Brother is, this episode is full of fun facts, wild strategies, and plenty of sibling banter.

So grab your key, take a seat in one of the orange chairs, and let’s dive into the world of Big Brother trivia with my little brother.
