Big Brother 16

[Killick]

Show debuts in a couple of weeks, so the cast should be revealed soon. Persistent rumors that it'll include some returnees and family members, including...

Rachel Reilly and her slightly less annoying sister.

WTF, CBS? If this is true, I am absolutely not watching.

 

[Bradley Guire]

I read Frank will return with his father, former WWE wrestler Sycho Sid Viscious.

I can't imagine a scenario where I wouldn't watch... Perfect summer TV when there is very little to choose from...

I am totally with you. I'll be watching, even if they bring Rachel back.

I'd much rather they find an all new group of house guests, though.

In my opinion, they go wrong when they try to stack the deck -- when they go out recruiting people that they think will make good TV. Like Shane on BB 14. He knew nothing about the show, was a terrible player and was just on there because he had been in Cosmopolitan magazine and they recruited him. They also go wrong when they get too cute, bringing back people from past seasons, thinking their popularity will carry over.

The best houseguests for me are always the superfans whose dream it was to be on the show and have some game to them. They should be able to find people like that who fit their stereotypes (gay or lesbian, old person, jock, cheeleader, geek, etc.). I wish they would just stick with that.

After last season, I wouldn't be surprised if they are gunshy about picking people and will want to control everything even more than they already do.

 

[Just_An_SID]

Bring it on.

I need something decent to watch.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I hate to say it, but bringing Rachel back is a good move because she's one of the more memorable players in show history and she has some level of credibility since she's won before.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I'm glad they're doing it earlier in the summer.

 

[Killick]

Two seasons on BB, two on Amazing Race. Eeeeenough.

 

[Bradley Guire]

Career contestants. Meh.

 

[Inky_Wretch]

I'm shocked CBS isn't sending Brenchel into the house trying to get them conceive while there.

And I hope none of the challenges involve house guests jumping from a three-foot height or so. That could be traumatic for Sid.

 

[Bradley Guire]

No scissors in the house either.

I remember reading something last season where Brendan (sp?) had no interest in going back into the house.

Win-win for him if Retched goes back on BB — he gets a vacation from her and that laugh. The rest of us, though? Screwedsville (IF she's back).

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I hated her the first season she was on, didn't mind her the second season (which she won). I didn't mind her sister that much, but she wasn't particularly memorable. I remember her doing something stupid to get voted out, but that's the extent of it.

Rachel's saving grace is that she's a good player.

The rumor mill is plain silly to even worry about until about 10 days before the premiere. It's been alternately tabbed all newbies, All-Stars 2, Blood vs. Water, a newbie house vs. a veterans house, even rumors about Kara and Jenn City coming back. I do hope it's all noobs, tho I would be fine with Jodi getting a fair shot.

I think they should bring the two racist girls from last season back and pair them together.

You're right about the rumors, but the Rachel Reilly rumor is in enough places that one would certainly assume that it's true.

One of the things I take great pride in is that I've never watched a second of this show. I kill enough brain cells as it is with the Bacardi.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

It's Masterpiece Theater compared to most of the Reality Shows on cable, the Housewives, Kardashians, Dance Moms level of stuff.

I don't know if I would watch Big Brother if it was up against regular new network programming. I probably would, but they would pile up on the DVR, as opposed to the summer when I actually look forward to it.

 

[dooley_womack1]

No way Rachel is coming back again. The show is finally going to be in HD, so that should be interesting. The Big Brother site on CBS is showing all the episodes of the All-Star season, so make of that what you will.

According to report, cast won't be revealed until June 19.
