*** In the 2024 Celebrity series, there were several twists with the nominations. Firstly, Sharon Osbourne, who only stayed for about a week as a Celebrity Lodger, was given a secret task along with Louis Walsh to judge the rest of the housemates based on first impressions, then choose three to consider for eviction; Sharon would then choose one of those three to face the vote later in the week. In the next round, Sharon was allowed to watch the housemate's nominations and choose someone up for eviction to save, and then replace with another. In the fourth round, during a fairytale-themed task, six of the housemates had to decide between them someone to take a killer nomination and face the vote (this ended up being Nikita Kuzmin). The very next day, for St. Patrick's Day, a housemate (who ended up being Fern Britton), was given the option to choose someone to instantly evict, only for that housemate to end up being granted immunity from nominations instead and go through to the final. Fern chose Louis, who had previously been nominated many times by the others, leading viewers to think that it was a BatmanGambit on the producer's part in order to keep Louis (who was shaping up to be the house villain) in, as was having to choose the two housemates they considered the most evil for the fairytale task, leading to Louis along with Zeze Millz being exempt from the killer nomination.

*** Going on from the above, Big Brother usually forbids discussing and revealing nominations, but the fairytale task had a quiz that asked about the number of times certain people had been nominated, which revealed that Nikita had nominated Fern every time so far. Since Nikita was one of the more polite housemates who had not yet recieved any nominations, many viewers think this was done just to involve him in more drama and tension, and also so he'd be more likely to be nominated (which became a moot point as he took the killer nomination later), and think it was unfair of the producers to reveal what was supposed to have been private information barring the face-to-face nominations.

* OldShame: The producers like to treat unpopular seasons like this.

** Season 19 evidently joined the lineup when, for undisclosed reasons, the official Big Brother channel enacted a purge of all but one clip of the season, including live feed footage. Worse, it also drew attention to a popular Youtuber under the handle House Kitty 2, who posted live feed material from both BB 19 and the ongoing BB 20 at the time of the takedown, resulting in their channel being terminated (with the user apparently posting a brand new one, minus all the clips they had up at the time). This has effectively destroyed ''months'' of footage that one cannot see unless they subscribe directly to the live feeds or use the Wayback Machine to pinpoint.
** Season 4's "Ex Factor", which is infamous for driving one contestant insane, powering some houseguests to give into their libidos, and a lot of unpleasant feelings throughout the season, has become a twist that the show doesn't dare go back to again.
** Partially inverted with Season 19: Despite its unpopularity, producers took the one universally liked part of the season (Paul losing for a second time) and ran with it. Associations between Paul and the number 2 were present on both of the following seasons.

To his credit, he was a good sport about it when he found out and has accepted the reputation.
*** Kyland also has “Kryen” (“cryin’”) for similar reasons, along with “Kyle”. “Kyle” came about because fellow houseguest Sarah Beth said that she would deliberately misname him as “Kyle” if he ever betrayed her, and because he did, she has insisted on calling him this during interviews. Naturally fans joined in too.
*** Derek F’s actual nickname in the house was “Big D”, to differentiate him from the skinnier and younger Derek X, who was “Baby D”. Fans however took to calling Derek F “Big Delusional”, due to him genuinely believing that he carried his alliance through the season despite him winning zero competitions to help them or even having to betray anyone for them like all five other alliance members had to do.

*** From the same season, Naeha quickly became known as Slaeha. Apparently it was for her gameplay, even though she was only [[WeHardlyKnewYe briefly seen]] [[InformedAttribute before coming in 15th place]].
** Victor on Big Brother 18 got the nickname [[Series/GameOfThrones "Juan Snow"]] due to his strong resemblance to Jon Snow, combined with his Latino heritage.
** During one [=HoH=] competition on Big Brother 18, Michelle, already known for being ProneToTears, started vomiting due to stress during the competition. This sent her into another fit of hysterics, during which she dubbed herself "Vomit Cry Baby." Fans quickly ran with the name.
** Fans have come to dub Big Brother 19 "Big Paul" because he [[SpotlightStealingSquad completely stole the show.]] A reporter for ''Entertainment Tonight'' made note of this to Paul himself at the afterparty, and he laughed at it heartily.
** A common joke nickname is for people online to call Christmas by any holiday name other than Christmas, e.g. Thanksgiving, Arbor Day, Flag Day, etc. The more obscure the better.
** Big Brother 21: Pretty much everyone from the Gr8ful/Six Shooters alliance was subject to some nasty nicknames by fans, due to their unpopularity.
*** The Gr8ful alliance as a whole was nicknamed H8ful as a result of their constant bullying and belittling of the other side of the house.
*** Jack and Jackson, while given the collective nickname "The Jacks" by the show, were referred to as "The Jackasses" online, for [[JerkAss obvious reasons]].
*** Jackson also gained the nickname "Snackson" due to his BigEater tendencies, including breaking Have Not rules by eating in the shower.
*** Holly was dubbed "Beth" after David accidentally called her this, to her annoyance.
*** Analyse became "Anal Lice", referencing Brett's intentional misspelling from the hacker competition last season.
** Nicole Franzel is commonly referred to as “Ratcole” or “Snakeole” for her cattiness and victim playing.
** Big Brother 23:
*** Kyland is often referred to as “Kyren” by fans due to the discovery that his Website/{{Twitter}} account was full of tweets where he acted like a “Karen”, often crying for customer service over small issues and showing entitled behavior toward corporate accounts. To his credit, he was a good sport about it when he found out and has accepted the reputation.
*** Kyland also has “Kryen” (“cryin’”) for similar reasons, along with “Kyle”. “Kyle” came about because fellow houseguest Sarah Beth said that she would deliberately misname him as “Kyle” if he ever betrayed her, and because he did, she has insisted on calling him this during interviews. Naturally fans joined in too.
*** Derek F’s actual nickname in the house was “Big D”, to differentiate him from the skinnier and younger Derek X, who was “Baby D”. Fans however took to calling Derek F “Big Delusional”, due to him genuinely believing that he carried his alliance through the season despite him winning zero competitions to help them or even having to betray anyone for them like all five other alliance members had to do.

Production did not take her up on this offer.

* MorePopularSpinoff: You'd be surprised that the original form of this show came from the Netherlands and didn't last long, while several ports overseas are now wildly popular and have completely eclipsed the existence of the original.

* BabyNameTrendStarter: Inverted. Jade had been a moderately popular name in the UK since the 1980s, but after Jade Goody was on the show, the name went from being in the top 30 to outside the top 100 in two years. This was most likely a result of Goody's perceived lack of intelligence and reports of rude behavior on-set.
