Big Brother 23 | Episode 1 | Season 23 Premiere!

If you listened last week, you know this was, at least at one point, a Frenchie stan podcast. But will our standom survive his reign of madness and terror? Tune in to find out! It was one heck of a first week in the Big Brother beach club, so get into it with us.

Big Brother 23 | Episode 2 | Frenchie's Funhouse

In a completely unsurprising turn of events, Frenchie’s “erotic” behavior has turned the entire house against him. And while we do acknowledge that Kyland is HOH this week, this is Frenchie’s dad-gum Funhouse, and we’re still buckled up for the ride.

Big Brother 23 | Episode 3 | Stuck in the Funhouse

Truly no one can leave this house without being incredibly iconic on the way out, and this week is no exception. If you were worried the drama in the house would leave with Frenchie, then clearly you haven’t heard about this man Brent. We don’t want to take a cheap shot, but…. He hit some major turbulence this week.

Big Brother 23 | Episode 4 | The Flight of Champagne

The game is about to change -- but first, with the Kings in power once again, two Aces, who happen to be early season favorites of ours, face the block for the first time. 

As we approach jury, the wheat is separating from the chaff, and we see some players rising as threats and powerhouses, while others don't seem to know what game they're playing.

Big Brother 23 | Episode 5 | Ace in the Hole

In the critical final week before jury, an Ace is in power and the Kings are in danger. My, how the tables turn so quickly in the Big Brother House.

Big Brother 23 | Episode 6 | A King, Dethroned

Alyssa not getting second place in a comp? Britini not on the block as a pawn? You really have to expect the unexpected in the Big Brother house...

Big Brother 23 | Episode 7 | Pawns Go Home

Sarah Beth is the first woman in the house to be HOH -- but is Kyland really pulling the strings? And is Tiffany really the grill master of the Cookout, or is it someone else?

This week, the cracks in the Cookout run deeper than ever, and with a wild card as HOH and a special power in play, the house is sent scrambling to figure out the target.

Big Brother 23 | Episode 8 | Roulette Regret

This week, our forensic chemist / voice actress learned a valuable lesson about the importance of playing proactively instead of reactively -- and the importance of having all your bases covered in the house. 

We also learned that the Cookout has complete control of the house, even when out of power. But have the few remaining non-Cookout members learned as well, or is it too late?

Big Brother 23 | Episode 9 | The Coin of (Predetermined) Destiny

This week was a circus -- and I'm not just talking about the HOH competition. Smells like a double eviction week!

Things we didn't see coming: our stoic king Xavier unraveling, Tiffany sending her closest ally home, and Zingbot slinging weak zings. Things we did see coming: The Cookout making Big Brother History. Let's get into it!

Big Brother 23 | Episode 10 | Making History

Moments after celebrating a historic moment, the Cookout now turns on each other. And if you thought the Cookout was heating up before.... Well, you're in for some disappointed, because the Grillmaster has left the building.

Big Brother 20 | Episode 7 | Rockstar Hits Rock Bottom

This week, Fessy is the HoH and it truly can't be overstated how much he messed it up. We think Haleigh said it best: We're the worst players in Big Brother history. 

There's trouble in paradise for our favorite big dumb puppet and the second coming of Rat-cole, and somehow Tyler is more relaxed now than ever. 

Remember to subscribe and rate the podcast and keep up with us on ShowmancePodcast.com!

Big Brother 20 | Episode 8 | The Big, Dumb Puppet Show

Just when you think it can't get better for Level 6, Angela wins the HoH. Our emotionless queen spends the week marinating in power and we have to say: it's a good look. 

Haleigh and Fessy end up on the block together, a fate he described as "romantic" and she described as "not." 

The summer is coming to an end soon so don't miss out on the podcast -- subscribe! You an also follow along on ShowmancePodcast.com.

Big Brother 21 | Episode 13 | Finale Night!

Memphis, Tennessee is the birthplace of rock 'n' roll and the home of the blues, and our Memphis certainly rocked the house and made some people feel more than blue...(the jokes in the podcast are better, I promise)

The houseguests may not have to worry about coronavirus in the house, but some of them are certainly not immune to HOH-itis. Does anyone know how to cure a swollen head? Asking for a friend...

Big Brother 22 | Episode 3 | An All-Star-Sized Case of HOH-itis

It's Christmastime in the Big Brother house, and it's unseasonably hot! Is it boiling tensions from a divisive HOH comp? Is it the global warming? Is it the hot-headedness of our reigning HOH? 

The back and forth this week had our heads spinning, but we get down to the bottom of who served up the drama and who took the first swing. Set, [Personal] Game, Match!

Big Brother 22 | Episode 5 | Let's Have a Tennis Match

Last week she wanted to win a competition, but now she doesn't? And she was gunning for Da'Vonne, but now she's working with her against Tyler? Or is she? It's hard to keep up with Dani's game, but we're forced to try, because this week, it's all about her. 

From here on out, evicted houseguests are going to jury, so with jury management on the line, nominations are all the more crucial. Keep up with us as we critically review game play on this second half of Big Brother All Stars!
