I have never done a true ranking blog series before, but I have always wanted to do one. I've chosen to do a BBUS Houseguests ranking blog as it's the only reality series I feel I'm very well acquainted with. I am a fan of survivor, but I have never been a consistent viewer and if I ever attempted to do a blog series on survivor zimdelinvasor would probably roll over in his tengaged grave (or cry in his super-secret estate he's vacationing in... seriously where has he been :[?).
A few disclaimers: I'm doing this for fun, and I tend to rant when talking about these types of things, so expect rantings and typos because FUCK proofreading. 'murica.
If you hate someone I like, good for you, but that's why this is My ranking and not yours ;D!
Also, why 45?
Well I tried to come up with 50 but after 45 things just got really blurry, so many "slightly above average" houseguests. So pliz don't hate on the number xD
Tl;dr
Here's a list of my top 45 Big Brother US Houseguests, pliz read :)!
#45, Jason Guy, Season 3
The second half of the power couple from Season 3, Jason Guy was the "nice guy" corrupted by all that was evil (Danielle Reyes). Those two ripped apart that house, taking out several alliances along with way. Jason is known for a few other fairly big events that took place that season... probably most notably was evicting Marcellas shortly after Marcellas decided NOT to use the power of veto on himself. The look on Jason's face was priceless, he felt really bad for Marcellas but knew he really had to evict him. Jason and Danielle made it to the final three together, but when neither him or his ally won the final HoH, kind-hearted Jason was evicted by the Floater and eventual winner, Lisa Donahue.
#44, Rachel Plencner, Season 6, member of the Sov 6.
Season 6's main twist was that every houseguest entered the house with someone they knew from home. Watching the season for the first time Rachel and her partner Howie was the most surprising pair. Rachel's kickass, Howie's a bit of a dumbass. I remember the edit had shown a little bit of their differences when Rachel won HoH. I thought it was so cool and if everyone had managed to keep the twist secret for a while longer I could only imagine her and Howie to be the only pair to remain hidden. As the season went on and the sides became very clear, Rachel was what seemed like the voice of reason for the Sov 6. While the chaotic nature of Howie and Janelle was hilarious, she was a breath of fresh air for that side of the house, and if I watched the season as it aired I feel I would have been rooting for her.
#43, Jerry MacDonald, Season 10, "You'll always be Judas to me"
This old geezer is more of a "love-to-hate" type of contestant. He was a bit bat-shit crazy at times, causing dramatics at times where it wasn't needed. For example when the house went coo-coo fucking bananas because of the fucking nuts women that season had, Jerry attempted to tell all the women (who are already fighting) that Memphis was saying something in the other room about them. It was not necessary and Renny let Jerry know and when he told her to "shut up" she let that fucker know it was "INNAPROPRIATE!!!!". Gameplay-wise he was shockingly useless as fuck and resembles Kail Harbick in the sense that he was the old guy who fucked up his game by aligning with too many younger folks early on. Jerry's cherry on top of his bat-shit cake was his comment to Dan, "you'll always be Judas to me". I feel that statement speaks for itself.
#42, Lane Elenberg, Season 11, Brigade Member
Yes, he was the season's "country guy" stereotype, but he was still pretty amazing. I mean, besides a slight amount of bigotry, and the dreaded "8-second-game". That part was pretty fucking bad. I guess part of why I liked him so much was his reluctance in having an "all brigade final three". I feel there was a chance he might have taken Britney if given the chance. That tiny bit of strategy was so refreshing considering the season had been fairly boring strategically up until that point. I have always regarded Season 11 as the final season for "good DR sessions". Lane, Britney, and Matt Hoffman were the 3 greatest DR houseguests that season and is partly why Lane is on the list, but fairly low, as the latter two were much better.
#41, Jameka Cameron, Season 8, Ping-Pong Ball Oracle
In the spirit of the original "Holy Roller" (you ain't got nothin' on her Lady Jocasta) let us start with a prayer... written by a wonderful man known only as "Dick"...
"I come to you as a humble servant today and I ask that you grant me the magic ping pong ball! For my salvation in this game! Please Lord! Help Jameka pick the Magic ping pong ball and she will save me! As she promised from the beginning!"
Amen.
I mean, Jameka is one of those "love the to laugh at because you're just so fucking dumb" houseguests. If you're unaware, week 4 and week 5 was Jameka's golden age. Week 4 she was chosen by Jen, or should I say Ping Pong Ball, our lord and savior, to play in the PoV competition. She could have taken the 5,000 dollars, but she didn't, and she won that PoV and believe that because Jen, the target for the week, chose her ball out of a bag, she had to use it on her. And queen Jameka used it! Week 5, she was in the PoV competition once again, and she tried REALLY hard to win it! It was the punishment PoV and Jameka had decided she was willing to give up 5 HoH's to win PoV when she wasn't even considered as a replacement nominee... now such dedication would imply that she would go on to win the competition... however, Jameka being Jameka, she lost to Jen. So Jameka gave up 5 HoH's, to win a PoV she didn't need, and didn't end up winning. That is the comedic gold that was Jameka.
#40, Gerald "Gerry" Lancaster, Season 3, "WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS"
On the topic of Religious Zealots, let's talk about Gerry. Oh, Gerry, what a fucking wreck of a houseguest. Another one of those "love to laugh at because you're just such a goddamn idiot" houseguests. Gerry was aligned with the first few people to enter the house for the first few days, however, Gerry knew that he was being tested by God. The members of that alliance were homophobes and RACISTS! Why? Well because they nominated Marcellas Reynolds, who week one was very anti-social and wasn't entirely sure if he wanted to be in the house. So by all means, Marcellas' nomination was warranted, it was not because he was black or (very) gay. When the PoV was introduced, Gerry knew he needed to win it to redeem himself. I mean, he has black friends and gay friends, HE SWEARS! So when Gerry won it he knew he had to veto Marcellas to atone for his sins. Meanwhile, Marcellas and Danielle Reyes are probably more pissed off at Gerry implying the others were racist than anything else. This religious zealot was fairly useless gameplay wise after he veto'd Marcellas, and the only other event he was a part of was "sinkgate".
Danielle Reyes uses the bathroom. When she's done, she washes her DAMN HANDS.
When Gerry uses the bathroom, he doesn't wash his DAMN HANDS
When the houseguests saw this, they were disgusted. But Lori, Gerry's friend (and current nominee... lol idiot) was appalled at how pretentious Danielle and the other women were being. She started going fucking nuts... so Danielle "got ghetto fabulous". A fight ensued, Gerry was kindly asked to "WASH HIS DAMN HANDS" and all was well in the world.

Thanks for reading, 39-35 are going to be posted tonight, can you guess who is on it? =p
There are 2 "fun to laugh at" women, another woman that gave a handy to a guy who wasn't really into her, and two generally underrated "old geezers".
Which houseguests do you feel are underrated in terms of popularity?
If you want to be tagged in future blogs just let me know.
There are only a few other houseguests from that season I really liked, but all for different reasons. I just feel that Rachel, other than just being a generally awesome person, didn't have much of an impact on the season as the others did.
