What was your "I'm a superfan" moment...

No Spoilers

...and what does it take to be considered a superfan? I wouldn't call myself a superfan just yet, but I knew my obsession was deep during BB17 JMac's eviction and I streamed it live while stuck in traffic. I'm on the west coast and could not wait until it aired here. Also, being obsessed with the feeds, #BB20 twitter, this sub, and RHAP is only furthering my addiction.

What was your transition from casual to superfan like?

Oh my God, talk about a trip down memory lane. Season 6 (2005) was when I became a super fan. I loved Janelle so much and I absolutely ate up every second of Big Brother I could find. We've never had cable, so I had to watch on our shity reception TV and I would wait for it every episode night. If I missed an episode, which was often because my parents drag me all over the country side, I would find the episodes online and let them buffer for an hour and a half so I can watch them. This was back in dial-up days. I begged my parents to let me by the feeds, but they never gave in.

After that season was over I figured out a way to find the rest of the old seasons and binged them all within a few months (again with shit internet). And then All Star season... my mind was completely blown. Janelle is still my favorite player of all time. I've watched every season since. Although I never could get into BB19.

The divide in season 6 cannot be topped!!!!! And the absolute ruthlessness of the houseguests was to-die-for TV. All-stars is insanely good as well. Man, I miss the good old days of BB. Felt a lot more raw. But hey, this season has been pretty awesome so far!

I've really, really enjoyed this season! Probably more than I have enjoyed a season in years.

Also, hey! My worlds colliding 😂

Holy crap. I don't really pay attention to usernames. Wtf. This is so crazy. I mean, we better watch out, people might think I'm your alt account! Hahaha just jokes. But so cool I can't believe I responded to you of all people I wasn't even paying attention until now. We have similar taste in favourite BB seasons too!

Haha, I rarely look at usernames, but I saw this in my inbox and was SO confused because I assumed you were replying to something on TS 😂

Season 6 definitely triggered something in me too. I was a fan before but Season 6 was amazing. I have been pretty loyal since but only recently got into watching/following beyond the shows. Now I find the podcasts, live feed gifs and clips and reddit posts more entertaining than the actual episodes.

A few years back I discovered the international versions. Then I realized I could watch current BB seasons almost year round.

For me it was watching Nakomis come up with the backdoor. I was thinking WOW that takes the game to a new level.

It seems like such an obvious strategy now, but man that first backdoor was incredible!

Will it was also a bit different. Hoh could pick the veto players back then. Still an insanely smart play

Absolutely this. It was my first season of big brother, and watching the six finger plan come out and be executed flawlessly was amazing, and changed the game forever.

Watching James survive week after week in BB6 and realizing I wanted to do that someday.

James was mine too. I didn’t watch the live feeds yet but I remember being really excited for every episode to root for James. He was my first favorite houseguest.

Subscribing to live feeds for the first time in 14 and experiencing the mist. Life changing

Subscribing to the feeds changed my view of the game 180 degrees. I can never go back now, lol

Agreed! S1 e1!!!! Always followed the spoiler blogs. This is the first year for feeds for me though. (Being in Canada and all...but what a year to start) I don’t watch any other reality tv. I’m hooked for life on Big Brother, but for some reason I don’t consider myself a Superfan.

from watching the episodes to having a folder in my phone with my big brother apps (reddit, feeds, pocket bb)

S7. All stars. Watching Dr. Will tell the entire house at the veto ceremony that he hates them all, to not to use the POV on him, and vote him out. Timeless.

I have my car key on a lanyard and wear it around my neck. Every time I go to put the lanyard on around my neck, I always say (in my head), "Congratulations, you are the new Head of Household!" And pretend they are the keys to my HOH room.....this is the cringiest thing that I do in life...

BB12 when there was that fight between Rachel and Kirsten after Rachel's second HOH win and called Kirsten out for being a floater (she was actually a coaster, get it right, Rachel). Before you guys think, "Wow, that's a stupid moment to become a superfan," I was only ten when BB12 was on, and from BB8 to then, that was the most memorable moment to me.

I try not to be all gatekeepy about things, but I feel to be considered a super fan you just need to have seen seasons 2 - current (season 1 was an entirely different show) and currently watch live feeds.

I hate when I hear recruits say they're a super fan and you find out they've seen one season and know nothing about the live feeds.

And to answer your question, I think the moment I became a super fan, was watching Rachel come back into the house for 24 hours during BB12.

Clearly someone’s the biggest superfan of Big Brother that they won’t let anyone else be one
