This is how I would personally rank them.

1st – Vince

  • Showergate
  • Ashley confronting Vince
  • Morgan crying because of Keanu
  • Kelley begging Vince to get nominated
  • Vince getting mad when Ashley won the veto
  • Jimmy confronting Keanu at the veto meeting
  • Rachel and Zae getting into it on the day before the eviction
  • Rachel’s death stare during Zae’s eviction speech
  • Vince letting his Burger Boys alliance lose one of its members as the HOH

I mean, c’mon. This was by far the most eventful and exciting kick-off of a season in the new era.

2nd – Angela

CRAZY EYES! Live feeders, we know where we were. It was only day 5 in the house. It was early in the morning. The houseguests were barely awake. Then, Angela came down the stairs and we got the monologue of the season. The week-long feud between Angela & Matt was ridiculously hilarious to say the least.

3rd – Frenchie

Frenchie: promises safety to literally everyone except Christian

Christian: wins safety through Wildcard comp

Frenchie: wants to target Derek X

Derek X: wins the veto

Frenchie: proceeds to break his promise to a total of 3 people throughout the week by nominating them

It was painful, but quite funny to watch it all go down. Also, Frenchie only made things worse for himself by being very paranoid and bossy.

4th – Reilly

To be honest, I don’t remember much from this HOH reign: Cirie entering the game and coaching Jared the entire time, Izzy fangirling over Cirie, Kirsten being super paranoid on night one, the two sides of the house forming, … I think things only got interesting after week 1.

5th – Daniel

Yeah… No explanation needed here.

What would your ranking be?

  • Angela caused a cultural reset for my passion in big brother

    Idk the others lol

    Angela's HoH had the most iconic moment with the speech, but Frenchie's HoH was hands down the most chaotic

    Daniel’s was the most… disturbing..

    And lowkey the worst gameplay wise or tied with Frenchie at least. 

    Seriously crazy. It was my first year for the live feeds and I think the bar for feeds was set too high after that first week. 

    Waking up to CRAZY EYES on live feeds was like witnessing history being made. This is what it must have felt like to watch Keesha’s Birthday or Dan’s Funeral.

    Literally the shit we live for as BB fans.

    I was randomly watching when it went down too. I couldn’t believe it!

    i was watching tarans morning recap and all of a sudden i hear him yell "turn on the feeds there's a big argument" and i was so shocked and audibly said "feeds started 2 days ago???" and had my mouth open the next couple hours watching the fight and the aftermath

    Like Angela’s HOH single handedly brought fun drama back to BB it was that good

    She was literally the best, and I’m glad she won some other comps! She’s near the top of my list for returnees I want to see. She was actually above average at the game tbh she just had TERRIBLE reads and I loved every second of it

    I hope she doesnt tbh. I feel like if she returns she will be even more tryhard than ever, kind of like Howie on AS

    Lol I remember her rehearsing her speech in bed at night for hours 😭 it was hilarious to witness

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Angela's HoH was so insane I can't remember what these others even did

    You didn’t watch the season after?

  • Is frenchie the one who tried to set up an all girls alliance ? Dude was comedy

    Yes!!! The French kisses or something like that lol

    Not only did Frenchie set up the alliance promising all of the women safety but he also went around the house telling many of the black players that they were good with him only to turn around and nominate Alyssa AND Kyland lmaoooo

    No, I think it was mixed. It just had 9 people in it.

    No, no, he also tried to arrange an all women’s alliance 😅

    He absolutely did

  • Angela, no contest. The way she didn’t get evicted the week after and made as far as she did into jury needs to be studied

    Unpopular but she has probably the best first HoH week out of all those although that speaks about how bad tje others were more than how good angela was

  • Angela>Frenchie>Vince>Reilly>Daniel

    100% correct order. I don't know if people just weren't around for it/don't remember it, but Frenchie's HOH was so much more chaotic than Vinny's. AND we had Night 1 feeds, so we got to see it play out from the very beginning.

    Yesss this was my second season rlly paying attention to feeds and I was hooked week one 

  • Damn I forgot how good we’ve been hitting with these week 1 HOH’s recently.

    I’d say Frenchie, Angela, Vince, Daniel, and Reilly.

  • From a game perspective:

    Vince > Angela > Reilly > Daniel > Frenchie

    Entertainment perspective:

    Angela > Frenchie > Daniel > Vince > Reilly

    Angela at number two from a game perspective is WILD, but the rest were that bad/she was so perversely successful.

    If you remove Angela's paranoia, she had a 10/10 HoH. She had a majority alliance form around her, she got out a big guy who was coming after her, and a lot of houseguests like Quinn really liked Angela and wanted to work with her.

    Then Angela was left alone for 5 minutes and she dismantled everything except her target XD. I genuinely need Angela on every season of any reality TV show.

    Angela not being the worst gameplay wise >>>>>>>>>>

  • 26 was my first season. My friend got me into it in the first week by sending me the clips of Angela. She will forever be one of my favorite house guests.

  • Angela is my top rank cause that woman came in as a BB super fan and lived the full range of chaos that happens in the course of a whole season in just one week! Her first week! And the bulk of the drama was her own doing lol.

  • Frenchie 3rd is a non-feeder take IMO

    That was one of the greatest weeks ever. When the 2 liter of soda came out you knew the target was about to flip

  • I would lowkey but Angela at one bc she backdoored someone who would’ve definitely been a showmance as they became a couple after the show and someone who said to multiple people he was going to target Angela.

  • Angela > Vince > Frenchie > Reilly >>>>> Daniel

  • 1) Frenchie

    2) Angela

    3) Vince

    4) Reilly

    5) Daniel

    Frenchie was non-stop development right up until the Veto Ceremony. And there were still some delights like Frenchie’s Kisses, the all-girl alliance………….started by a man 🤣. Watching that man’s mind work was truly a masterclass in what the fuckery. Every time he would speak you would be amazed because he would always find some way to dig himself into a new pile of shit. I was like “how far can this man dig himself deeper into a hole 😂”

    Angela is number two purely for Crazy Eyes. That moment alone carries the HoH in the WTF department. The constant paranoia and mental gymnastics are a nice bonus 🤣

    Vince’s HoH was cool, but I don’t think reaches the heights of Frenchie and Angela. There were some truly WTF moments abound, but some of it felt over done and cringey. It didn’t reach the OTT levels of “what the hell is going on?” as Frenchie and Angela’s did.

    Reilly is number four because there was a lot going on, but it felt more standard gaming. Nothing too out of the ordinary except for Kirsten being a mess and getting into some conflict with Cirie with Izzy being her back up 😂

    Daniel is last………because he’s Daniel and Week One BB24 was truly a miserable experience. So much so I said that they should cancel the season because it truly wasn’t it. Boy did the season pick up 🤣

  • Angela saved us from a summer of Matt so she’s my number 1

  • Angela’s hoh was like a reform for BB, she should’ve been number 1.

  • frenchie > angela > vince > reilly > daniel

  • Angela, Frenchie, Vince, Reilly, Daniel

    All terrible btw

    ironically despite having the least entertaining reign by far daniel’s HOH was definitely the best game wise

    Not at all lol. Did 0 allies and actually isolated himself most of the time while strategy happening around him. If you didnt know Daniel was HoH you would have thought that Paloma was the HoH, even Allysa did more during that week tbh. He was going to be a target after Taylor

    Daniel is honestly one lf the most underrated worst first HoHs.

    he definitely was not going to be a target after his HOH, people like pooch and turner were targets ahead of him and he was insulated well enough with people like nicole and ameerah that they would’ve fought for him to stay even if he played too passively while in power. I’m not saying it’s great or anything but when you compare him to the other 4 horrendous HOH reigns from this era he sticks out as the least awful.

    1. Angela

    2. Frenchie

    3. Vince

    4. Reilly

    5. Daniel

    The New Era first HoH reigns have been so bad, they have made fans of the show scared to be first HoH.

    Vinny the Lip, bless his ambivalent heart, wanted that power and set himself even better than I thought he would at the time. He came off as so wishy washy and emotionally needy on feeds, but that shit worked.

    So, while I give Vince credit for having the hands down best first HoH since Tyler, and it was an entertaining week, Angela and Frenchie are like all timers. Angela surviving to nearly the end after that was honestly insane.

    Vince would be higher, but those Angela and Frenchie HoH reigns were straight up BONKERS.

  • Angela > Vince > Reilly > Frenchie > Daniel

  • Kelley shouting affirmations to the camera after winning the blockbuster while everyone else is talking about who to evict

  • I didn't think Frenchie could be topped, but yeah it's Angela.

  • By Entertainment: Angela > Frenchie > Vince > Riley > Daniel

  • Angela > Reilly > Vince > Frenchie > Daniel.

    I don’t really remember much of 23 so that’s where Frenchie’s week gets affected. Vince’s week is that low just due to being in the awkward phase of 27 where so much was happening that you couldn’t track. Also feeds being down for five days harms it.

    Lol. Paloma should be number one

    Daniel’s so irrelevant I forgot abt him lmao

    Wait you changed it. Did you actually think Paloma was the HOH? That's so funny

    I mean it kinda was Paloma's HoH lol. 

  • I'm inclined to swap number 1 and 2 but this is a good list

  • i read this so wrong. i thought you were showing your top five most entertaining new era players. i was like ???

  • Angela top tier. Frenchie big second. Vince for sure. Who ? And who? jjk daniel then reilly

  • 1-. Frenchie

    2-. Reilly (more so because of how chaotic the bb25 cast was)

    3-. Angela

    4-. Vince

    Me reading: wait, who did they forget? Oh, probably no one

  • Daniel's on the bottom is the only correct answer

  • Frenchies was a train wreck that I could not turn away from 🫣

  • Vince above Angela is downright crazy. The Vince/Morgan Histeria feels so forced imo

  • From a game perspective:

    Vince > Reilly > Frenchie > Daniel > Angela

    From an entertainment perspective:

    Angela > Vince > Frenchie > Reilly > Daniel

  • Angela with Vince in second (iconic week, but I hate Vince)

  • Extremely entertaining

  • Its amazing to me just how different the first HoH is now. The first HoH is supposed to really set you up to go deepening the game. Vince is the only one that i think benefitted from the first HoH. While he made so many stupid decisions. He did set himself up rather well with it.

    The rest tho? They were not set up well at all.

  • Angela > Frenchie > Vince > Reilly > Daniel

    Anything else is blasphemy

  • angela > frenchie > vinny > reilly > elvis

    all of them were chaotic, but angela's was probably the most satisfying to witness as a live feeder.

  • Angela wasn't new era, she was classic Big Brother, just in the wrong timeline.

  • Who? Vom vom vom VOM

  • Honestly post AS first weeks have been amazing. The only bad one was Daniel

  • I think youre under selling how great Frenchie's was. He, in one week, became a top 5 character of that season in his HOH.

    2nd is Angela, you have the iconic crazy eyes rant. I thoroughly enjoyed every weird thing she did in her reign.

    3rd is Vinnie, its kinda funny but, honestly, yhe one where he puts up Lauren is funnier.

    4th and 5th are interchangeable for me. Daniels is rough but Reily's is boring, which i almost find worse.

  • Hi, longtime big brother fan, watched every season since season 2, also watched all of Canada and Australia and over the top (which i love). Still I am lost on what OP is calling the new era. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance

  • Wow it’s insane how there hasn’t been a single good first HoH in the new era lmao

  • Angela has still been the only houseguest that genuinely made me and my family consider skipping the season. Could not stand her

  • What is the new era?

    can someone define this ?

    edit : nevermind

    Can you explain what the new era is? I am not joking or trolling. Genuine question

  • Angela should have been voted out first.

  • From L to R

    terrible

    Terrible

    Ok

    Terrible

    Ok
