I don't really like the Blood vs. Water theme for BB, so I'm glad it appears that rumour is fictional. The idea worked out better than I could ever imagined for Survivor, but on BB I think the season would start with most of the pairs would be easily nominated together with the stronger of the two being voted out, making the first few weeks a big old snooze.

For the most part, I wouldn't have a problem with returning players this Summer, but to be honest, it'd be nice to see them look further than Frank, Amanda, Elissa and then players who have already played twice. They could make a perfectly acceptable Allstars cast out of one time players, but I just fear it'd be the usual suspects (even if those suspects include the red goddess)

They will definitely try and have returning players in some capacity in order to make up for last year's train wreck of all newbs.

If so I would prefer it to be people who were evicted far earlier then they should have been and could have been good players had things been different. Im thinking the likes of Nick (BB15), Dom (BB13), Cassi (BB13), Jodi (BB14). Give them a second chance. I only want to see the likes of Amanda, Frank etc on a complete all star series.

But why take a chance on unknown quantities like most of those HG's when they know people like Amanda and Frank will bring in the drama and more importantly, the ratings.

I'm not saying I agree with it, it's just from a tv exec standpoint.

Amanda and Frank bring in ratings? If either one of them two cross the big brother screen ever again I am switching off for good. Both terrible people.

I agree, though I don't think the racism controversy had much to do with the players being new. Just look at Jade Goody's return to BBUK...

It might just be me, but I checked the wikipedia page of Big Brother sixteen and I found Jordan Lloyd's under the houseguest section. However, they have taken this down recently.
I just checked now and instead of the "Houseguest" it says "Legend".

So it could be suggesting it is a Legend cast.

Anyone can alter Wikipedia.

New promo: http://cartermatt.com/120878/big-bro...new-promo-cbs/

Surprised they're using BB15 clips to promote this all things considered...

Mmm

Evel Dick Donato ‏@EvelDick 7h
Lots of former BBers texting and calling me looking for alliances... sounds like some returning players this season

Curious why if 'lots' of players have been asked Dick hasn't?

Address option appears to allow subscribers from USA, Canada and... Australia?

Thanks Army, I'll wait until the blogs start their referrals up and get the feeds through one of them.

Although, I might wait to see if BB UK has 24/7 livefeed ... oh wait...

Yes that's what I did.

To watch the feeds though you will need a VPN. IIRC, last year we needed a VPN to even sign up but I didn't need one this time.

'Blood vs Water' type theme picking up in credibility: Frank to return with his father?

As a wrestling fan it would be amazing to see Sid in the house. But also as a wrestling fan I know that wrestling news websites (aka "dirtsheets") are highly unreliable, especially ones that claim their sources as "Big Brother message boards". So still not fully sold on this yet.

Please no Frank, He was never liked in Big Brother 14 anyway, I cant find one person who liked him. I mean you just have to hear the audience groan with disgust when he won the veto pov in double eviction to see how hated he was. Why Alison Gronder sucked his cock so much I will never know.

Didn't he win America's Favourite? So it can't have been that bad as you said...

Again I have no idea how, nothing about him was pleasant at all. I can only assume it was rigged for him to win just like it was rigged for him all season.

I always thought Grodner had a thing for him. Either that or she's his mother.

Even on what would have been his eviction night they decided last minute "No eviction now! It's cancelled!" after what was a perfectly valid week of gameplay.

Can anyone give me a refresher of how feeds work nowadays. It's been a good few years since I watched a season BBUSA or bought the feeds.

Is a Smart DNS or VPN sub needed? Which service is good?
Can you view feeds on an iPad?

That wasn't the first time they stepped in for him. They practically ruined the first 3 weeks of the show to keep him there, I personally don't think it ever recovered. He should have gone instead of Kara on the 2nd eviction (first real eviction after Jodi). Ashley was with Willie at the time, she slept in his bed the night before the eviction and was all for voting Frank out instead of Kara - until she got summoned to the DR and spent nearly 2 hours in there.

When she came out of the DR she'd changed her mind and basically let slip on the feed that production told her not to go against her coach, she didn't even think it was an option until after the coach twist ended.

Yeah I remember when Shane won HOH the second time he said that the DR was telling him not to put up Frank and Boogie, and then the feeds were down for like 10 hours during a POV because apparently Frank cheated and the housemates were complaining about it. He even admitted on feeds he cheated.

Again the second or first time Ian won HOH he said that the DR was pushing him to work with Frank when he didnt want too. And even at the end they called Jenn into the DR for like 3 hours and when she came out she was worried saying her game was screwed because Dan and Danielle were lying to her and Frank about keeping Frank.
