Wham, Bam, Thank You, Cam

Wham, Bam, Thank You, Cam

This week’s forgone conclusion sees the departure of our favorite ten gallon hat and boot-cut jean wearing underdog. Maya tells Erik what Zingbot had to say and Bowie Jane’s HoH run ends when she dematerializes before everyone’s eyes and returns to being a figment of Erik and Maya’s imaginations. Also, Julie wore glasses.

A very scary double eviction

A very scary double eviction

Hoo boy. The scariverse is at it again! A surprise double eviction coupled with a surprise zombie resurrection terrifies the houseguests, us, and Julie. The producers are having a great time though. Erik is all jammed up. Bowie Jane probably is a ghost. Spooky!!!
Sep 22, 202327:47
Death of the seven deadly sins

Death of the seven deadly sins

What a week! Cameron rules with a chaotic fist. America runs a successful and honestly phenomenal flip campaign, with just a minor pipsqueak of a consequence. Things are finally turning on the trio who have been running the house, and Erik might do a raffle next week. You never know! Expect the unexpected!!! This episode of Blood on Their Hands is brought to you by Josh Duhamel.

Red and Cameron break up

Red and Cameron break up

Alliances crumble, friendships are torn apart, Bowie Jane gets to say a line, and we are treated to our first non-unanimous vote of the season! As a bonus, Erik shares his award winning Sunday Gravy recipe. Mangia!

Matt saves the season

Matt saves the season

Maya and Erik have a special guest on the show, Kris, who is a PROFESSIONAL GAME DESIGNER and has some words about the Big Brother mechanics. Cerie continues to run the house. Some showmances bloom. Matt puts his hair in a pony. Someone wins a special power and you will never believe what happens – expect the unexpected, are we right??? Maya finally learns how to use autotune. Erik seems to no longer be "all in". HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKE!!!

Sep 01, 202350:32
Hisam is evicted, right?

Hisam is evicted, right?

Erik calls in from an undisclosed location. We realize that Blue and Red are both colors associated with America (suspicious). Hisam learns his lesson (or does he???) and a long awaited HoH comp makes its triumphant return.

Aug 25, 202333:40
Hisam v Reilly

Hisam v Reilly

The ultimate showdown: will the house flip or should you expect the expected? You know the answer. And it’s only week two!!!
Aug 18, 202332:34
An unceremonious exit

An unceremonious exit

A lackluster houseguest breaks the code of conduct and is, refreshingly, swiftly removed. The first live eviction delivers the expected result. Cerie continues to dominate the game, and Erik for some reason decides that when he enters the house he will adopt a character named Bosephus. Call in and tell us what you thought of tonight’s eviction!!!
Aug 11, 202333:37
Season 25 Premiere: The Big Brother Multiverse

Season 25 Premiere: The Big Brother Multiverse

Welcome back! In this episode, we meet 17 bright eyed new houseguests, we make some very bold predictions, and Erik promises to be high energy for the season. If you’re new to Big Brother, don’t worry, we’ve got you with a quick primer on the show. And if you’re listening on Spotify, tell us in the Q&A - who’s your top pick after this episode??
Aug 03, 202324:50
TIFFANY THE MASTERMIND OF THE GREATEST BIG BROTHER ALLIANCE OF ALL TIME!

TIFFANY THE MASTERMIND OF THE GREATEST BIG BROTHER ALLIANCE OF ALL TIME!

Expect the expected! The doldrums finally come to an end with a certain someone winning BB23, a certain someone winning a well-earned AFP, a certain someone doubling down on an extremely rude thing he said, and Erik building Maya a tiny veto comp for her birthday. That was the best part of this whole season, really. We love you all, thanks for listening, see you next year!

A good blindside and a bad exit

A good blindside and a bad exit

Wow. Big D casts his vote to evict for the first time this season, and it results in one of the wildest evictions we’ve ever seen. Also, Erik gets mad. 🤭
Sep 24, 202121:42
It’s double eviction night again, babyyy! (But two hours this time)

It’s double eviction night again, babyyy! (But two hours this time)

I think we can all agree anything else would have been better than the travesty we saw tonight. Ugh. When does BBCAN start?
Sep 17, 202117:05
It’s double eviction night, babyyyy!

It’s double eviction night, babyyyy!

The Cookout makes BB history and Erik attempts to join Gen Z. Alyssa remains dim. Big Brother!!!
Sep 10, 202136:07
We’re just not likeable

We’re just not likeable

The Cookout continues their slow and steady steamroll of the house. The odds are with Xavier but our hearts are with Tiffany. Erik and Maya engage in a little quid pro quo, Kyland complains to some brands, and we are #notlovingit.
Sep 03, 202131:48
Sarah Beth’s reign of terror

Sarah Beth’s reign of terror

Well, our favorite HG went home and we’re officially in The Doldrums™️. All we can do now is wait until final 6 and hope some interesting gameplay shows up then. Also, maybe we can start watching BB UK. Or start a corn maze business. All this and more on tonight’s episode!
Aug 27, 202129:42
“May I please call you Big D?”

“May I please call you Big D?”

The Cookout continues to run the house, making BB history but also kinda ruining BB. It’s ok, we’ll take it! Claire and Tiffany are masterminds, we forgot Hannah is in the house but we still love her, Derek X is a shoo-in for another 100 BB bucks, and Julie Chen reminds us all to Be Not Afraid (??). Also Erik reveals how he made his nut: with his award winning podcast Dorf On Dorf.
Aug 20, 202128:44
Girly girl

Girly girl

Derek X makes a big move. The house flips, or does it?? BB23’s “high roller” twist is announced, and the Cookout is doomed. Peace love and justice y’all!
Aug 13, 202120:02
Female empowerment (again)

Female empowerment (again)

In this episode of BBUS (still not, unfortunately, BBCAN), Whitney is targeted for her love of women. Some suspicious edits are made, we still don’t understand how betting works (how many beans to coconuts???), and Erik tries out a new bit.
Aug 06, 202133:31
His body perceives his intelligence

His body perceives his intelligence

Brent is “blindsided” when everyone sadly to evotes him, in the least eventful blindside in BB history. Erik and Maya are in a fight. If anyone messes with Hannah we will burn this whole thing to the ground. There’s a lot cooking in our mental, okay?!
Jul 30, 202133:26
Au revoir, Frenchie

Au revoir, Frenchie

Britini raps, Frenchie runs out of moves, our baby reconnects with a long lost relative, and Julie Chen-Moonves continues to bewilder us all.
Jul 23, 202132:38
Frenchie’s all girl alliance

Frenchie’s all girl alliance

Brent Champagne is poised to take it all, according to a betting system we don’t understand. Frenchie aligns with everyone, Travis reminds us all that white dudes with abs are the weakest link, and Julie leaves us with some wise words we’ll never forget.
Jul 16, 202134:02
BB23 Premiere: Unprecedented Times

BB23 Premiere: Unprecedented Times

Big Brother is back, baby!!! Unfortunately it’s BB US and not the far superior BB Canada. Oh well. We’re here for it anyway.

BB22 season finale: what is jury management?

BB22 season finale: what is jury management?

Honestly considering the final 3 this was probably the best case scenario, so despite all our complaining, eh, we’re fine with this. The important thing is that David really understands the game of Big Brother, and Da’vonne knows how much America loves her. Thanks for hanging in there with us on this season folks, we’ll see you all next time! ❤️ ✌️
Oct 29, 202021:02
War on Christmas

War on Christmas

Everything unfolds as it was foretold millennia ago. Erik gives America’s youth some valuable life advice, everybody swears their undying allegiance to Cody, and Enzo secures third place. Good effort, Enzo! DA’VONNE FOR AFP!!! Oh yes, and this episode is sponsored by the very generous Digiorno. Don’t forget your side salad, folks!

A house full of wise guys

A house full of wise guys

Another boring week in the books! Everyone but us seems to have given up on this show, which makes sense. This episode is dedicated to our boy Clinton.
Oct 16, 202019:07
More betrayed than I’ve ever felt in my life

More betrayed than I’ve ever felt in my life

If you were stranded on a desert island would you rather have only Christmas for company or Angela’s vegan cookbook? We’d drown ourselves in the ocean. And that’s how this season of Big Brother is making us feel. In this episode, umm... everyone continues to do whatever Cody says. Julie wears a nice dress and thinks it’s cool that you love God. And the only bright shining star in the darkness is the nice people drinking margaritas in the jury house.
Oct 09, 202029:28
Triple eviction

Triple eviction

Big Brother US’s first ever triple eviction is sabotaged by production every step of the way! The exact 3 people you’d expect to go home go home. Several houseguests finally start to have some regrets about their decisions this season (but ah, so many regrets still to come). Erik comes up with a Machiavellian 4d chess airtight strategy to win Big Brother, even though no one wants to take him to final two. Remember: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
Oct 02, 202038:32
Cold, stress-inducing, and annoying

Cold, stress-inducing, and annoying

The committee steamrolls on, Julie Chen’s robot brain is on the fritz, Michael gets some blood on his hands, and Da’vonne classes it up as always. This world does not deserve Da’vonne, let’s be honest. This episode is sponsored by Hulu, where any show you watch is almost certainly better than Big Brother.
Sep 25, 202028:12
The ultimate pawn

The ultimate pawn

Ian and Tyler are on the block. The Committee wants Tyler to stay. Nicole wants Ian to stay. HMMM, I wonder what will happen?! 

Also in this episode: David makes some moves and gets some laughs, almost every houseguest this season is a very bad person, we brainstorm all the things you could do with your time instead of watching this television show, and Erik does his best to get arrested for thought crimes. Where is the album, sis?

Sep 18, 202044:21
Long live black girl magic

Long live black girl magic

Maya and Erik are joined by their friend Sam, who’s never seen Big Brother before and frankly doesn’t understand why anyone bothers. (Fair question.) Bay and Day put Christmas in her place, Bayleigh gets a brand new Tesla, Memphis spends some time on his side gig at Buffalo Wild Wings, David’s Vegas odds are increasing by the minute, and Julie Chen looks amazing.

This episode is brought to you by Chantrix and Bidet Today, both of which may increase your odds of fatal bleeding.

King Kaysar

King Kaysar

Another week, another night of ups and downs and near heart attacks. Is tonight’s evictee going back in the house?! Could someone likeable actually win HOH? What kind of new gymnastics will Julie perform trying to convince everyone there’s a shakeup coming any minute now? "Unexpected" answers to all these mysteries, plus our declaration of commitment to David and only David, on this brand new episode of BoTH.

The Queen of Big Brother

The Queen of Big Brother

A couple hinky votes briefly give Erik and Maya some hope that 2020 is going to turn out alright after all. Julie reveals her favorite houseguest, David decides to switch things up and blow it big time, and Nicole updates the guest list for her wedding. What a night!
Aug 28, 202036:11
Kitty gonna scratch

Kitty gonna scratch

On tonight’s episode: Nicole A threatens to blow some shit up, but instead learns a valuable lesson about friendship. Julie wears a pair of slacks. Erik remembers some people’s names! And don’t worry, everyone, the bros finally get their moment. FINALLY.
Aug 21, 202032:53
The golden rule

The golden rule

Don’t worry everyone, this season’s alliance of bros who are gonna dominate every episode is off to a great start! Plus: Michael and Brooke are back (thank god), a mysterious new caller shares some betting odds, and Julie Chen warns us all about... something.

Big Brother All Stars 2: Coronavirus Edition

Big Brother All Stars 2: Coronavirus Edition

Wow, despite the global pandemic, our favorite show is actually, truly back! And so are some of our favorite players (plus some we’ve never heard of). Julie starts the season off with a hot new asymmetrical look, Christmas narrowly avoids breaking her ankle a second time, David might be a ghost, and Erik tells some jokes.
This episode is brought to you by our corporate sponsor, Mr Mustard.
Aug 06, 202032:31
A huge surprise!!!

A huge surprise!!!

Wow, expect the unexpected, right?? Nobody saw this finale coming. Also, Nicole is the only player we recognize from this entire cursed season. Also, we love our listeners and can't wait to see you all again for the torturous ride that will be BB22.
Sep 27, 201931:07
Hogg Tied

Hogg Tied

Cliff Hogg outsmarts everyone in the universe. Kat and Nick are a thing now, whyyyyyy? Jury updates, expect the expected, yadda yadda yadda... oh and Erik has two new podcasts. Love you more than Julie Chen loves blindsides, xoxo
Sep 20, 201934:40
The house meeting from hell

The house meeting from hell

WOOF. An emotional house meeting leads to a baffling eviction. Julie Chen-Moonves is incredible. Cliff and Nicole face down their demons, Michie gaslights everyone in sight, and Erik discovers a new hashtag. Wow. What a night.
Sep 13, 201933:18
Double eviction, babyyyy!

Double eviction, babyyyy!

Wow, expect the unexpected, am I right??? A puzzle proves our savior on the latest episode of the contemporary CBS hit reality TV show, Big Brother.
Sep 08, 201919:33
Send in the clowns

Send in the clowns

Pies are smashed in faces! Clowns are hiding in mirrors! Zingbot returns to call Holly an old buzzard! (Mean; we don't support that.) Also, Erik puts up some zings, America votes for a prankster, and everything is gonna. be. fine.
Aug 30, 201939:19
Nick vs Christie (spoiler alert: nobody wins)

Nick vs Christie (spoiler alert: nobody wins)

Maya becomes a Jackson superfan. Erik becomes a Christie head. Someone manifested this show out of the garbage dump. Jess is lost in the pantry. WHAT IS HAPPENING??????? 🙃
Aug 23, 201936:37
Otev's Revenge

Otev's Revenge

PIGEON PATROL!!! Sorry we're a couple days late but we have a good reason. In this very special episode, Maya and Erik record from opposite sides of the globe, and Maya's sister attempts to decode Big Brother after seeing it for the first time ever. In other news, Kat and Cliff are forced to work against each other as they each try to stay in the house, a very shocking new six person alliance forms (maybe?), and Cliff's leg is bothering him.
Aug 17, 201951:35
Jessica kicks off season 21 of Big Brother

Jessica kicks off season 21 of Big Brother

In this episode, we drink too much wine while watching Big Brother. In other news, SOMEBODY IS FINALLY PLAYING THE GAME!!!! Aoooo, oh yeah. Also, Michie continues choosing rage over game play, and we have some fresh new canon from the corn maze. Big Brother, in short, is the greatest show in the history of television. We're back, baby!
Aug 09, 201932:19
Unseen drama

Unseen drama

There was apparently some big ol' drama in the house this week, but we didn't see it because it happened 5 minutes before eviction! In other news, no big game moves were made, we're staying positive, Michie got mad again, and Erik got a sunburn. Ahwooooo, ohhh yeah.
Aug 02, 201924:56
Love and corn mazes

Love and corn mazes

In this episode of the world's only Big Brother podcast, the person who you think will go home goes home. In more interesting news, Erik has decided to devote his life to creating virtual reality worlds, and Michael is becoming a demon child trapped in a corn maze. These aren't plot points from a bad reality TV show, this is real life. WAKE UP SHEEPLE. 你是完美的
Jul 26, 201938:18
Comeback Comp

Comeback Comp

Christie loses her mind. Bella manifests her own doom. Nicole remains a hero, and Camp Comeback crawls towards its inexorable, disappointing, traumatic end. Oh, and Erik is definitely on some FBI watchlist after this episode. Please join us in hope and in anger, in this celebration of the worst show on television.
Jul 20, 201940:15
Cliff Notes

Cliff Notes

Jack continues his unstoppable march toward victory. Cliff and Bella cannot keep their g.d. mouths shut. Erik tries out a new silly voice, and someone, finally, finally, attempts to sow a little chaos in the house. (Unfortunately, that someone is immediately voted out.) In short, this show is bad and the world is bad. Save us.
Jul 12, 201937:18
Camp Comeback is born!

Camp Comeback is born!

Erik and Julie make Beavis and Butthead references (to the chagrin of everyone who can hear them). Something happens that has never happened before (it's Camp Comeback). Certain houseguests appear to be acting racist, and we are not here for it. Showmances abound, and Kathryn tries to figure out if these bitches are conspiring against her. IT'S SUMMER, BABY!
Jul 04, 201939:28
WE'RE BACK! JULIE'S BACK! EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OK!

WE'RE BACK! JULIE'S BACK! EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE OK!

Eight new houseguests enter the BB summer camp. The usual problematic social patterns arise, causing some moral concern for Erik and Maya. Erik attempts a southern accent, and Maya chooses a new mortal enemy (ahem... Jackson). We're so happy to be back for the summer - we missed you!!
Jun 27, 201935:06
CBB2 season finale: a total cop out

CBB2 season finale: a total cop out

Oh yeah no the cop out isn't the show, it's us. Apparently ⬛⬛⬛ won, and that is fine. In this episode we discuss Erik's anger problems, the mechanics of a tiny helicopter, and the best kind of ship (obviously, it is friendship). You're all a Moonves to us. See you in the summer. 💕
