In the game of Big Brother, you really can’t get anywhere on your own. You need to have people around you that want to work with you, an alliance. Sometimes these alliances can be in duos. Today, we’ll be going over ten of the most powerful and dangerous duos to ever play the game. There’s a lot to cover here, so without any further ado, let’s get into it.
Dick And Daniele
Dick and Daniele entered the house as enemies, but ended up controlling the game together, as they made their way to the final two. While America’s Player, Eric Stein, certainly was helpful in getting them to the end, Daniele won an incredible amount of competitions that helped propel them as well. Dick’s social game was also unmatched that season. In the end, this father-daughter alliance managed to push through all of their animosity and come out as a power duo; they will be remembered as one of the unbreakable duos the show has ever seen.
Alison And Jun
Alison and Jun are another duo that made it to the finals together. Sure, the entire jury hated them, but they got there, and that’s what counts. The two were absolutely ruthless in their gameplay, and stayed loyal to one another throughout their time on the show. They both played powerful social games to make their way to the end, rather than physical ones. They only had loyalty to each other, and Alison even became one of the production choices for the All Stars season of Big Brother a few years later.
Brendon And Rachel
An emotional roller coaster of a duo, we have Brendon and Rachel, or “Brenchel,” as they dubbed themselves. While they were both pretty powerful physical players, Rachel was certainly the stronger of the two. She’s won an incredible amount of competitions throughout her time on the show, but Brendon’s won his fair share as well. The two had a better time on their second season, as they managed to align themselves with strong players such as Jeff and Jordan to further themselves in the game. With Brendon gone, Rachel managed to win her way to the end, ultimately ending up with the $500,000 grand prize.
Mike And Will
Of course, the most successful duo in the show’s history, we have Mike and Will, who together formed Chilltown. In the All Stars season, the duo was in control of just about everything that went on in the house. They were only truly loyal to each other, and had side alliances all over the place that helped them further one another in the game. They took out countless enemies, but eventually, Will fell to Janelle when she chose to evict her showmance. However, Mike and Erika then made it to the finals, also as a showmance, and he ended up taking the grand prize.
Amanda And McCrae
Let’s be clear, there are a few duos on this list who are really only on it due to one of the members. This includes Amanda and McCrae. Amanda ran the BB15 house during her stay, and was in control of just about everything that went on in. She was a little bit of a monster, sure, but she did what she had to do. However, McCrae did manage to make it further than her. He was more of the muscle of the duo, winning five competitions total.
Tyler And Kaycee
Despite Tyler and Angela being in a showmance, Tyler was more loyal to Kaycee, and these two (along with Angela) bulldozed the competition in this game. Sure, FOUTTE imploding on a week-to-week basis certainly made things easier for the three, but they still managed to get it done. Tyler’s social game was incredible and Kaycee’s physical game was absolutely insane. Together, the two won 13 competitions and made it to the end.
Jackson And Holly
This is one of those cases where one half of the duo is more of an asset, but both Jackson and Holly left their mark on the game. One of those marks was a bit more racist, sure, but it also managed to win eight competitions and play a massive role in almost every eviction of the summer. Holly was a much more behind-the-scenes player, winning two HOHs and while still playing a prevalent role in the social dynamics of the house, wasn’t nearly on the level of Jackson, which is why he ended up winning the game.
Drew And Diane
Winning eight competitions between them, Drew and Diane were a power couple on Season 5. While Drew ultimately ended up taking Cowboy to the final two over Diane, that doesn’t mean the duo wasn’t well, a duo. They had each other’s backs throughout the whole season, and had a good amount of control over the house, too. Diane decided to come back for the All Stars season, while Drew declined due to advice from his acting agent…
Derrick And Cody
Let’s just spit it out —Derrick was in control of BB16. hat is an indisputable fact. Everything that happened went through Derrick. He was the puppetmaster; Cody was his oblivious puppet. The latter won some competitions and did what Derrick told him to do. Cody got to decide who went to the final two with him, and picked Derrick over Madame Queen Excellence Victoria, which cost Cody the game. He was a sadly number two in this two-person alliance.
Dan And Memphis
Another case of one amazing player in a duo, Dan is one of the best players in Big Brother history, with “Dan’s Mist” even being named after him, due to his ability to control the game with ease. With this incredible social game, Memphis is sadly forgotten in comparison to Dan. While the two worked together in Season 1o, Dan was certainly the mastermind of this alliance, and went on to place first and second on his two Big Brother seasons.
