How to Play Fantasy Big Brother

How do fantasy leagues for Big Brother work?

Big Brother Fantasy Games for Season 25 are open!

It’s your favorite time of the year – Big Brother time. It’s finally time to see who gets to live in the BB house the whole summer and who gets sent packing early. If you’re like us, you’ve thought to yourself, “Wow; it would be so fun to have a game to play along with the show.”

Well, it’s here! You can play your own version of Big Brother (without being stuck in a house for two months and potentially eating slop). Bracketology offers four different Fantasy Big Brother game types: from creating a March Madness-type bracket after the first episode, to picking who is going to move on each week, to choosing a different team of contestants weekly that score (or lose) points based off doing/saying BB-related things. This challenge is on.

SIGN UP

If you’re new to Bracketology, you can create an account here, or simply just sign-in if you are a veteran. Then navigate to the gaming portion of the site (our web app) by clicking Play in the top navigation bar where you can use the show dropdown or click on Big Brother to play along. Are you ready to join a family of reality TV fans?

JOIN A COMMUNITY

First step is joining a community. Whether it is with a group of friends or the Official Bracketology Community, the purpose here is so you can play reality TV fantasy games with the same people across multiple shows. Rather than having to join new leagues and have a cluttered dashboard, you can stay within the same community year-over-year and keep your fantasy gaming competitive!

JOIN A LEAGUE

Once you’re in a community, create or join the community’s Big Brother league. Within the league, you can play up to 3 game types at the same time. There are four different game types to choose from, and you can read more about each game type below or click on the game type header for a more in-depth look.
