There are a lot of rules of what to do and not do.

Big Brother is a game in which even the best-laid plans can go awry, so it may be easy to assume winning is random luck. I'll concede there are a lot of variables to consider that lead to times Houseguests should've gone further in the game, but those who follow the "dos and don'ts" of the game often find a path to winning more often than not. Look back at past seasons of the CBS reality series and there's plenty of evidence to support this.

We'll talk about the moves that game winners made to win it all, as well as the errors those who came close to the end made that led to their downfall. If you want to win a future season of Big Brother, these are the tips to follow and avoid.
