Trivia
- The concept of a Perfect Game also exists in Survivor. To be considered to have played a Perfect Game in Survivor, a contestant must never receive an elimination vote during the game and must then win the game by a unanimous vote from the Jury. As in Big Brother, a perfect game is a rare accomplishment, and has only been achieved twice by winners J.T. Thomas in Survivor: Tocantins and John Cochran in Survivor: Caramoan.
- Had Ian received all of the jury votes to win during Big Brother 14, Dan would have been the first houseguest to play a Perfect Game and lose to a Perfect Game.
- Had Dan won the season with all seven votes by the Jury, he would have been the only person to win with a Perfect Game twice.
- All 5 winners of Big Brother Canada have never received any eviction votes, although Kevin is the only one to win with a Perfect Game.
- Ironically, all 5 runners-up of Big Brother Canada were unable to win with a Perfect Game, as they all had received at least 1 eviction vote before reaching the Final 2.
- For Big Brother 1 and Big Brother: Over The Top, the concept of a Perfect Game is different.
- For Big Brother 1, a houseguest would have to had never received any percentage of America's vote to evict and have to had received 100% of America's vote to win.
- For Big Brother: Over The Top, a houseguest would have to had never received an eviction vote and have to had received 100% of America's vote to win.
- Because of the stipulation of having to receive 100% of America's vote to win, a Perfect Game in Big Brother 1 or Big Brother: Over The Top is virtually impossible.
- Kevin is the first winner to have received all of the Jury votes from a Jury of 9. However, he is not the first winner to win with 9 votes.
