The excitement housemates bring into the Big Brother house often seeps into the homes of viewers, and the vibe each housemate has often endears them to the hearts of those who eventually become their fans. Social media has also made it possible for people who share an interest in the same housemate to come together to support, vote, and even fight for their housemates. These groups eventually get a name, and this endears them to their fave for a long time even after the show. Let’s take a look at some fanbases and how they supported their faves throughout the season.
