You know you love those 16 hour blocks of Jeffterviews.
I love it all, even the bits I hate. That's true love I guess LOL, though it looks like it's going to be finally forbidden, so

P.S. He is Big Jeff, as you well know!

Rumour that Julie won't be revealing the vote count this year, just the name of the evictee.

Not sure what to think, but this whole 'house vote' has got to change, so I'm excited to see if it will change anything.

It will be a lot harder for housemates to detect alliances...

Hope this happens.

However, it might ensure massive alliances to ensure the vote is fixed for the evictee each week.

The evictions in general are a damp squib in the US version, the pleas giving away who is going to the viewers are also ridiculous. They trot to the DR just to give a name which always seems rather inefficient. The main interest for the HGs these days seems to be what silly thing they do for the cameras on the way to the DR as the one going in meets the one going out.

Not sure how I feel about this, voting with the house is for sure a huge issue but having a rogue vote too can cause some excitement and forces everyone to choose a side.

I read that Julie will tell the evictee who voted for who in their interview, which imo is fine pre-jury but I don't want jurors being given that information.

If true i support the change. Too often people won't vote how they want out of pressure and fear. Experiment with it a few seasons and see if it opens people up to voting more freely and if it doesn't work just go back to the other method.

Latest rumour is that the coaches twist is returning for this season, the four coaches being Ian (BB14), Derrick (BB16), Vanessa (BB17) and Audrey (BB17 and also WTF). There are 12 brand new houseguests, but two have a connection (not twins).

http://www.realityblurred.com/realit...es-twist-bb18/

I'm not against those four returning, i'm really not. But we've seen the coaches - we know they'll become players because 12 is not enough to sustain a full season. Also, Audrey as a coach is the most ridiculous thing i've heard in my entire life - if anything that girl needs to be coached. I'd prefer Amanda of BB15, I really don't know who would come out on top between her, Derrick and Vanessa.. I hope it's a case of crossed wires, and it isn't coaches but those 4 are coming back as I don't mind seeing any of them again.

Cast is revealed on June 13, returning players are not usually revealed but we'll get an idea of what may be happening if there are less than 16 newbies.

Pop want a former houseguest to promote Big Brother After dark for free. Dr Will isn't interested: https://www.instagram.com/p/BGclZhfImJS/

There's also a rumour of Frank, Nicole, Davonne and James.
Well I hope that's not true

Ive heard Vanessa's sister is going on and so is COdy's brother

But them returnees are not great. I mean Vanessa, Derrick and Ian could be intresting.

But Frank sucked and had to have it rigged for him to stay so often

James was more concerned in being the unfunny clown

Nicole was too busy in handing Derrick the win

Davonne was an awful player and not even that entertaining, why she is seen as this amazing housemate I have no idea.

Noooooo. I hope these rumours aren't true. I can not stand Derrick, I just couldn't root for him, found him so unlikable and his gameplay is completely overrated.

Vanessa is the only one I'm interested in seeing again out of those rumours. Ian would be alright too I suppose. Audrey LOL. James, DaVonne, Nicole, noooooo. Not worthy at all of coming back as Coaches or All Stars imo.

I also like the idea of Audrey being a coach, that would be hilarious!

Ian confirmed he wasn't going in and the realityblurred rumor relating to him was false. He pointed out that it could be true for others though, he doesn't know about that. Just speaking about himself.

If it's untrue about Ian, that leads me to believe the rumor isn't based in much truth.

Just because they deny it doesn't mean they're telling the truth. Janelle denied it and went as far as to photoshop images of herself in Greece before becoming a coach

As speculated, there will be returning players this season. #BB18
BB18 Leaks ‏@BB17_Leaks Jun 11
There will not be coaches. I have no idea where that even came from. #BB18
BB18 Leaks ‏@BB17_Leaks Jun 11
There will be more returnees than most seem to think. #BB18

I disagree, the coach thing was stupid, it just gave them some free weeks when they couldn't be evicted. People have to play their own game anyway, the idea that someone from the past is some expert who can help them is ridiculous. And that's carried on since in BBCAN and the US version with some reward being a tactics chat, or someone talking to the jury, it's really quite annoying. Britney was a rubbish coach as well.

I really hope the returning players rumour is true! The coaches twist was alright but I'd rather they didn't bring that back again.

I hope we have a returning players and new house guests.

I'd quite like a mix of returning players and siblings of old house guests.

What am if some of the returning players went in with siblings but we're supposed to be kept secret.

Davonne was funny, but the other two are definitely not worthwhile.

The reason for the delay in revealing the houseguests has been given as the Orlando shooting: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ck1Ew22WkAA3fzh.jpg

I hope none of our would be houseguest or the crew have been affected.

Those rumors about returning housemates and family members really sounds like "Blood vs. Water" (Survivor) to me. 8 returning housemates with a family member each.

Too bad Willie was removed some years ago and therefore couldn't be used to bring Russell to BB with this concept...

Can this season 18 reveal be watched somewhere without paying for CBS All Access?
