Sam's Twist Robot on "Big Brother" is one of the biggest punishments in the show's history

Big Brother is on its 20th season, and after so much time, it's fair to badume that some of their ideas will become obsolete or just not work. However, Sam's robot punishment in the Big Brother 20 Premiere proves that the show keeps the creative things with the houseguests' punishments. After all this time, Big Brother is always creating hilarious moments and creating irresistible gameplay obstacles.

For every twist and punishment that has become a Big Brother pillar, like the power of the veto or the non-haves, there are simply some twists that are not up to par, like the ephemeral battle of the block or BB15 MVP torsion. However, the last moments of the Big Brother Premiere revealed that one of the losers of the first major competition of the show was receiving a punishment like no other. While another of the losers of the episode – Kaycee – was placed in a stupid costume for the week, a typical BB the punishment, Sam was turned into a robot.

OK, Sam did not really become a robot, but for a few moments it seemed like Sam would have to spend the rest of the summer controlling a rigid machine that communicates across a screen with an image reminiscent of that Nick Jr.'s face stuck on it. While the punishment seems to be a high-tech gaffe at the beginning, the twisting of the robot can be considered one of the biggest ideas Big Brother history, and this indicates that this season puts a renewed emphasis on two aspects of the show: the social gameplay and the sense of fun.

Big Brother has always had hilarious moments, sometimes intentionally as well as other times guests taking themselves a little too seriously. However, the twist of the robot shows that producers are not only ready to take advantage of the creation of humor for the public, but also to introduce some elements of pleasure into the household. It's early in the season, but there may be no better time BB20 that someone who asks Robo-Sam how she is doing, and her smiling robot face answering in Virginia Sam's friendly accent that she is "a f * cking robot".

While the turn is hilarious right off the bat, after a closer look, it's also a great barrier to Sam's social gameplay. It's important to win physical competitions to spend a summer of Big BrotherThere may be no more important element of the game than social gaming – getting to know other guests and tearing them away from support and allegiance. Transforming Sam into a slow robot for part of the week will make it extremely difficult for her to start forming alliances and making moves. Sam could find herself the only person without an alliance because she is simply unable to socialize in the same way as the rest of the non-robotic home.

This ingenuity is compensated by Kaycee's punishment. What seems to be just a stupid costume in the beginning is actually a device that can prevent it from leaving the room in which it is currently located if the wheel on its torso begins to turn. This could mean keeping her isolated from the rest of the house for hours or keeping her in a confrontation that she would like to leave. The two most recent punishments of the show prove that despite their 20th season, the spirits Big Brother find new and creative ways to punish their guests.

While it's too early to tell if the show can outpace the Robot, Robo-Sam will likely be one of the most hilarious and surreal punishments that the show has ever given and a new mark for the game that the show can inject into a sometimes brutal game.
