Big Brother Reindeer Games went into its inaugural season with fans expectations sitting at an all-time low, and many have been pleasantly surprised by the way the series has panned out. After Big Brother 25 was criticized by fans of the series who were hoping to see a more equitable and dynamic season, the expectations for Big Brother Reindeer Games season 1 were low. Advertised as being competition-heavy and lacking a social element of the game that many enjoy, fans assumed that BB Reindeer Games was going to be dominated by competitive threats. Most believed that the series would be another steamroll, much like the end of BB 25.
