What people don't understand is its not always about the money. A lot of big brother fans want to go on to get the experience. It feels good to win and no one can disagree with that.
She is very smart and likeable. I'm afraid the girl who is a poker dealer will expose who she is and then she is going to have trouble. I hope she can make it far, she will be interesting to watch.
Vanessa, as a BB superfan and poker player I LOVE and highly respect your gameplay! I hope to meet you one day and I've been pulling for you (and only you) from DAY 1!!!! You are imo poised to become another Big Brother great like Dr. Will, Janelle, Dan, etc!!! TEAM VANESSA RUSSO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!
I hate how everyone is hating on vanessa, and in the house she is being blamed for literally everything, "shes paranoid" well she has the right to be because shes right like most of the time cause shes good as fuck. I just wish she didn't pull that shit with john like wtf
I love her. She's wonderful. Although this cast could be way more diverse it already seems like a huge improvement over the past two seasons, casting-wise.
Yeah! very much in love with her girlfriend! Poker playing lesbian, dangerous as hell, love her. I want a rainbow alliance of Vanessa (L) Jason (G), and Audrey (T), they all seem like they might be able to do some damage.
ahhhahahaha couldnt even pull out the 50k. Was so happy last night. So proud of Steve for making that big, if not biggest, game move. She gave him that advice and he used that advice against her. Loved every minute of it. Have fun DJ'ing
My pre season #2 just behind Da'vonne (I might have butchered that name lol) I feel like she has the potential to be like a Kim Spradlin of Big Brother. Rooting for her!
I really like her! Hope that's not fatal to her chances :( She's smart, flexible, and strategic, ready to concentrate on the people in the house--that's so impt and man y strategic people forget that, and she's not too stuck on herself. Very impressed. Agree completely about female alliance only possible later after trust is built up.
I'm going to just assume she drank like 10 cups of coffee before she did this interview... I think Vanessa is nice, but anyone that speaks that quickly is going to raise red flags among the other housemates.
Fakieflps You would trust that person more since it says they are nervous and less threatening and more timid. Whereas if you are not nervous and too cocky/obnoxious and open, you become a target easily.
She is very smart and will be fun to watch. I think she has a huge potential to het far, even win. I don't want her to win tho because I don't think she needs that money as much as some other people in the house.
What I like about Vanessa is her tone and how well she articulates her approach, but I feel like she's going to be evicted before week 4 from her social game. I feel as if she will linger the other HGs to conspiring that she is aligned with everybody in the house. I'll decide whether I like her or not after week 2. I'm stuck on a fence with her.
Yes, because the single dad didn't play the game as hard as she did. Big Brother is not a handout to the needy....people who actually play a strong social and competitive game deserve the money. Also, just because she has won millions in the past doesnt mean she is still financially stable. Being a poker player is not steady income and she may not even have all the wealth anymore. So with your logic Dr. Will didn't deserve to win his season because he is a wealthy doctor? Even though he is considered the best player of all time? James ran around the house acting like a kid pretending he was at summer camp. Vanessa has been playing the game hard since day one, getting blood on her hands and yet still surviving. If winning the money for his daughter was that important to him, maybe he should have made stronger alliances in the house besides the pretty floater Meg who he had a crush on
ASisBest Everyone came in to compete and have fun...Vanessa just came to compete I think I've only seen Vanessa talk for fun like once and you think Dr.Will is considered the best player ever? Guess you haven't heard of Dan Gheesling
BelieveInTheShield She's not a celebrity. Not all professionals are celebrities as you have to be famous and known by a large demographic to be a celeb.
Another houseguest is a poker dealer. Either they go head to head and become enemies or form a lethal badass alliance. I'm rooting for both of them and Audrey...
OMG she needs to stop her constant whining and crying. Now that shes on the block and being back door'd everyone is so ',mean'..rolls eyes. We're you being nice when you back door'd jason and blind sided his side of the house? Come on enough already..putting ppl on the block and voting them out IS the name of the game. Then you talk about how Becky was mean to you and yelled at you...and you claim you don't lie? cause she didn't yell and she wasn't really mean, she put you up..she didn't follow your plan, doesn't mean she is mean. If you were HOH you wouldn't care what Becky wanted to do, so why should she care and do what you want? You would have put ppl up from her side of the house and been laughing about it with your group. For weeks all Vanessa has been doing is running around crying about how she's a target for everyone, no you're a target for that side of the house as they are all a target for your side. PERPETUAL VICTIM is what she is. Does she whine and cry like this when someone knocks her out of a poker tournament? Does she go on about how that person/ppl are mean for doing it cause she's so nice to them? She's going to go to jury pissed off? as if she is the only one that will be pissed off in there at first. Will be nice to finally be able to watch the feeds without the water works for a change. Its sad, cause i really started off liking her til she started with the crocodile tears. OFF to jury you go...LOL
Milk Dairy Yeah, sadly she is. These people really are stupid to keep her. With Liz winning i was sort of hoping she would wise up and see that vanessa is trying to control her. Becky and John have caught on to her, sadly, you have james/meg not seeing it. I hope that the other side wins next HOH and they back door vanessa.. Those shifty eyes of hers would drive me nuts. When she was talking with steve about "sad cookie" and he asked her what kind..she couldn't even think of a kind of cookie, eyes get shifty and she says 'yeah'..made it sound like the dumbest thing ever. I don't know, but if she plays poker anything like she plays BB i feel bad for the ppl at her table. lol. For some reason, because of what she has done over and over on the show, i picture her crying whenever she loses a hand...lol. I personally can't wait to see her walk out the door. Hopefully only the first 3 out will be able to fight to go back in, just so she has no chance to go back in..LOL
*Why* WHY is she on this show!!! First off, she is mega *rich* . What? Yes, does she deserve to win 500,000 over a single mom, hmmm. *NO* If she wins, she's won fair and square, however, her being there is taking away from someone that most likely needs it more than the girl who gambles/throws it away. Sooooooo, -yeah-. no. I hope the house gets mad at her at jury and don't let her win. (she will only gamble it away). plus she was the first one to cry like the girl she is.
"Been playing in boys clubs all my life"
And been dominating it.
Crazy she graduated from Duke in 2 and a half years and was actually in law school at Miami before Poker took over.
I was like, "Just say Dan. Just say Dan"
"Dan Gheesling".... YUP.
What people don't understand is its not always about the money. A lot of big brother fans want to go on to get the experience. It feels good to win and no one can disagree with that.
When I first saw her I was like please don't sound like GM.
Mario D I was thinking the same from the thumb nail.
Please win!
I've rooted for her pre-season. She was extremely rocky but I applaud how she pulled the strings. Best female player in the series so far.
I like her, I think she can make it far.
+Joel N Lol guess you chose right
You were right lol 3rd but still made it far
I´m going to love watching her play! She better not be voted out early. Be stealthy, Vanessa!
I'm glad they've chosen smart women this season. It's time for a woman to win again. Only 5 women have won the game out of 16 seasons. That's sad.
I like how she says, "To avoid being overly emotional..." Yeah, you did real well with that, LOL!
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! Been my #1 favorite since Week 1. I'm praying she stays this week.
I like how she was able to critique an all girls alliance without saying things like "girls just don't like me" or "girls are too emotional"
Love her! My favorite so far
If she wins, I'll personally consider her one of the best.
She's the best female to play the game. I applaud Steve for having the courage to take her out lol.
Is it just me or does she kinda look like Lights (the Canadian singer)
best player
She is very smart and likeable. I'm afraid the girl who is a poker dealer will expose who she is and then she is going to have trouble. I hope she can make it far, she will be interesting to watch.
Liz Naranjo Same but since they're my two favorites, I hope they talk about it and form a poker alliance
I wouldn't describe her as “likeable” but that's your opinion
Vanessa, as a BB superfan and poker player I LOVE and highly respect your gameplay! I hope to meet you one day and I've been pulling for you (and only you) from DAY 1!!!! You are imo poised to become another Big Brother great like Dr. Will, Janelle, Dan, etc!!!
TEAM VANESSA RUSSO ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!
I hate how everyone is hating on vanessa, and in the house she is being blamed for literally everything, "shes paranoid" well she has the right to be because shes right like most of the time cause shes good as fuck. I just wish she didn't pull that shit with john like wtf
Most people hate her cause she is a hypocrite and a stone cold bitch
+DeliciousKremeDonuts She was responsible for backstabbing everyone and evicting half the jury and more. She was all bitch. She deserved what she got.
She really is one of the best to ever do it. Best to never win at the very least.
Best answers!
Best contestant this year by far.
I love her. She's wonderful. Although this cast could be way more diverse it already seems like a huge improvement over the past two seasons, casting-wise.
I like her
I'm definitely rooting for her!
She seems very chill like the one who's gonna be a floater but then again she is a poker player so she know how to play the game
Provided that she doesn't let everyone know about her job, she's my pick to win. Thanks for trying, everyone else.
She is the Queen of Big Brother!
Played such s great game.
her and james are the only ones making big moves
I hope she goes far. She has a good attitude.
Yeah! very much in love with her girlfriend! Poker playing lesbian, dangerous as hell, love her.
I want a rainbow alliance of Vanessa (L) Jason (G), and Audrey (T), they all seem like they might be able to do some damage.
That would be awesome!
I would love that!!! First ever all LGBTQIAP Alliance!!
Does the p stand for pansexual? Sorry I've never heard or seen the p in that before.
But YAS!!! I'd love to see that 🙌🏼🌈
778mbz how does it feel to realize you coudln't of been more wrong, even if you tried.
I really like her, and not just because she has a great name...
ahhhahahaha couldnt even pull out the 50k. Was so happy last night. So proud of Steve for making that big, if not biggest, game move. She gave him that advice and he used that advice against her. Loved every minute of it. Have fun DJ'ing
Ioser
Shes gonna make it to top 5.
My pre season #2 just behind Da'vonne (I might have butchered that name lol) I feel like she has the potential to be like a Kim Spradlin of Big Brother. Rooting for her!
TheThemeParksGuy She quickly became my #1 after the season started, can't wait to see her win! (;
Vanessa ... My girl!!! 💞
This girl is going to be involved in a lot of the fights in the house
"Avoiding being over-emotional"
LMAO
She's cute. Like her. Reminds me of a more edgy Sharon of BB9...meets Nakomis. I think she'll do well.
Matt Wilson Her and Audrey say a lot of the same things strategy-wise...Will that bring them together or push them apart?
All these jealous haters in the comments.
Hope she is a strong female player! She has potential in the fact that on paper, she is perfect for this game. Hope it plays out that way!! Love her.
She shouldve won big brother!! damn it steve!
i love vanessa!@@@
I'm surprised she did not cry when he asked her where she is from
"Never swear on my girlfriend and lie" She's sworn on her girlfriend and lied so many times lmfao.
she should have won
My early pick to win. I like her.
"But uhhhhh....uuuummmmmmmmm" = 99% of the video
YOU SHOULD HAVE WON. YOU RAN THAT HOUSE WITHOUT GETTING YOUR HANDS w/ blood N loved the crying ...
Her and Da'Vonne, the poker connection.
the ultimate game use to be the world of warcraft, but well yea she is the only person that i dont want to see die in a fire
I really like her! Hope that's not fatal to her chances :( She's smart, flexible, and strategic, ready to concentrate on the people in the house--that's so impt and man y strategic people forget that, and she's not too stuck on herself. Very impressed. Agree completely about female alliance only possible later after trust is built up.
Congrats to rigging the game.!!!!!!!!
So sad she lost Dx she deserved it so much
I'm going to just assume she drank like 10 cups of coffee before she did this interview... I think Vanessa is nice, but anyone that speaks that quickly is going to raise red flags among the other housemates.
Speaks quickly? Have you seen Jace's interview? Holy shit he speaks 10x faster
Fakieflps You would trust that person more since it says they are nervous and less threatening and more timid. Whereas if you are not nervous and too cocky/obnoxious and open, you become a target easily.
Maddie B and he did great this season
HEY GONZO…….IS THAT YOU???
She's going to do well. I think she's gonna be similar in ways to Derrick and Dan.
She gives off a GinaMarie vibe and a Bianca D'Souza from Degrassi look!
She is very smart and will be fun to watch. I think she has a huge potential to het far, even win. I don't want her to win tho because I don't think she needs that money as much as some other people in the house.
What I like about Vanessa is her tone and how well she articulates her approach, but I feel like she's going to be evicted before week 4 from her social game. I feel as if she will linger the other HGs to conspiring that she is aligned with everybody in the house. I'll decide whether I like her or not after week 2. I'm stuck on a fence with her.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! She has my vote for the 500k
She has millions of dollars
so? That doesn't mean she can't be the winner.
ASisBest So you think she deserves the money more than the single dad who was in the house? I really hope there is a bitter jury
Yes, because the single dad didn't play the game as hard as she did. Big Brother is not a handout to the needy....people who actually play a strong social and competitive game deserve the money. Also, just because she has won millions in the past doesnt mean she is still financially stable. Being a poker player is not steady income and she may not even have all the wealth anymore.
So with your logic Dr. Will didn't deserve to win his season because he is a wealthy doctor? Even though he is considered the best player of all time?
James ran around the house acting like a kid pretending he was at summer camp. Vanessa has been playing the game hard since day one, getting blood on her hands and yet still surviving. If winning the money for his daughter was that important to him, maybe he should have made stronger alliances in the house besides the pretty floater Meg who he had a crush on
ASisBest Everyone came in to compete and have fun...Vanessa just came to compete I think I've only seen Vanessa talk for fun like once and you think Dr.Will is considered the best player ever? Guess you haven't heard of Dan Gheesling
I really like her! I don't know why but I feel like her poker skills could get her to the end!
Oh god hope not
Is that GinaMarie's younger sister?!?
Overestimating herself may be her downfall. Just sayin.
The black lady is going to know who she is bc I read about her and she is huge in the poker/vegas arena.
I'm so happy she doesn't sound like GinaMarie
guessed*
i know her from poker. but if you are kinda a celebrity you shouldnt b on this big brother you should be on Celebrity Big Brother.
BelieveInTheShield She's not a celebrity. Not all professionals are celebrities as you have to be famous and known by a large demographic to be a celeb.
you can be a d-list celeb....
LOVE HER! One of my top 3 :)
Anyone know if she's lesbian or bi?
I need her and Da'Vonne to be in an alliance
clousesapphire101 LMAO yessssssssssss x
Bi i believe she said she was married to a guy before she started dating her girlfriend.
Ben Levine She explicitly said she that she's a lesbian in a big brother interview.
PurpleSpades that is bad news for many men.
If Da'Vonne busts her game, Nessa might not be able to recover, even despite having so much innate street-smarts.
BB and poker are two different games.
She better have a good plan because I think people WILL know she's a professional poker player.
They won't know unless that person watches poker
Another houseguest is a poker dealer.
Either they go head to head and become enemies or form a lethal badass alliance. I'm rooting for both of them and Audrey...
"umm, umm, umm, umm, umm"
8:16 LMFAO SHE LIED
does any one think she looks like Iggy Azalea or Is it just me???
I bet the dislikes were from insecure girls
Her looks remind me of Gina Marie too. Thank god she'll be the anti-GM.
I think there going to target her she comes off as the type that wants to start a alliance.
are Vanessa and Tiffany twins
No. I also thought that at first. One of them is older by a little over a year.
+Apple Pie I looked at their ages . who is older
+Jaidyn Smith Vanessa is older. Vanessa is 33, and Tiffany is 32.
+Lisa no . both are 32
vanessa is 33..
She's a favorite.
But I doubt she'll win if she lets out she plays poker and made money from it.
I would keep what she does a secret.
Take a guess without looking it up on how much she's won doing poker
ComicBookFreak1985 Da'vonne is a poker dealer. Chances are she'll recognize her.
mrbow50001 A few million. That was easy.
Umh...Umh...Umh...
shtrategy
is it bad that I guess she was a lesbian? lol
Such a disgusting, manipulative, abusive bully.
"Abusive bully"?? You need to relax. Those are strong words and she isn't that at all. She is playing the game of Big Brother. Relax.
Vanessa is such a hypocrite and a stone cold bitch
+Toast Man She's playing the game. Dirty or not, she's amazing
Nick Peek If she makes it to final 2 I'm hoping for a bitter jury
Toast Man Why? She deserves to win.
OMG she needs to stop her constant whining and crying. Now that shes on the block and being back door'd everyone is so ',mean'..rolls eyes.
