Why?! I feel like those deserve second chances given the sh-tty cast they were placed in. Having to endure the racism and bullying should ensure another chance for them. I'd even add Jessie from their season to that list too. Yes, Howard sucked but I think now he'd play a better game. Howard could've made it far had he not lied to Helen's face and came clean about the Moving Company like Spencer did.

I thought he was an idiot. He came across like a buffoon in that season with his lame attempts at gameplay. He also came across as less than smart when it came to talking to people. I was embarassed for him. He would have been better for a show like Survivor where muscles get you a longer way than brain and mouth

I don't know why BBUS won't do All Stars again?

Maybe because they cast shitty people and realize it's a STRUGGLE to actually put together a cast people would watch again, especially when you have one season a year. Maybe because they wasted Janelle, Boogie, Dan, Britney, Rachel, Jordan, Jeff, Dick, Dani and Brendon on shitty seasons with horrible newbie casts? 10 players who could have formed an all star season were used in just OK twists with shitty newbies I'd be fine never seeing again. Ian and Frank would be the only two I could see being asked back. They might be desperate and get looney Danielle (or overly tanned Shane) back.

There best chance at an All Star season is a legends season with winners and huge players but even that's a stretch.

And Chenbot, hun, if your hubs or whoever is in charge decreed this season to be all stars the newbies would be scrapped in a second. I wouldn't put much stock in what she says.

I remember the last two seasons people on the boards here and elsewhere were wanting All Stars and I was always like "why" and I still stand by that. I don't agree that they should NEVER do it again, but don't waste some of your most popular players on twists that suck.

I preferred it on Slice too. The casting was better and a bit more diverse (though BBCan still tops, for me, BBUS in terms of diversity in casting). Season 2 remains one of my favorite seasons of Big Brother ever.

If anyone has Twitter, you have to follow Jun. She's hilarious and just finished watching BBCAN2 and is rewatching All Stars. She lives in Belgium with her hubs and kid and runs Rice House, but she seems open to doing BB again. She seems to be on a BB nostalgia kick lately. Her tweets are just gold. I loved watching her play.

I don't think Godfrey is anywhere near Jun or Will's or even Dan's level. I don't know. Maybe when I eventually re-watch the season but he was virtually invisible for a majority of the beginning of the season. Not Willow levels, but close. I just never saw this amazing gameplay from him. He credits his amazing strategy for the JP blindside but it really had nothing to do with anything he did. I dunno. I want to like him and love his game but I really didn't see it. He talked big but it all seemed staged and scripted to me, especially his DRs. And speaking of that, I'm tired of the DR altogether. Zach's were awful, it was like he was reading a teleprompter every time with his goofy smile and grin. Sigh. Half of Britt's sounded scripted.

Arisa Cox did well to manage the chaos, but that studio audience was so deflated at the end.  The outcome was both shocking and hilarious.  I wish something like that would happen on BB USA; I would love to see how Chenbot would handle the situation. #ButFirst

It wouldn't happen on BBUS b/c production is so controlled with everything. Plus, I think they make the jurors do a practice run on BBUS before the live finale. I don't think (not sure) that BBCAN did a practice run during the original season. I think they do now and on every finale since s1, Arisa stresses to the jurors (with laughter) that they are voting for the person they want to win. 

 

The BB fandom was deflated at first, but we all got over it quickly. As aforementioned, Gary and Jillian were a strong and likable F2 that it was a win/win either way. Plus, Gary emerged as the big star and did all the spinoffs, so it worked in his favor anyways. I just wish his game was as tight in s5 as it was his first season. Gary was so checked out this second time playing.

    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
    • Bill is about to fall out, lol. Why would Hayley even feel like she had to prove that she was pregnant to Dani? Maybe she likes this non-stop roundabout of drama or perhaps she's triggered because Dani actually was on to something. Anita really was an opportunist and now it's caught up to her. 
    • She was a natural going all the way back to her audition reel.    It's a shame that Rauch and co really amped up the more OTT aspects of Tina's character in the 2nd half of the 80s because Evans proved she could play understated and vunerable without the theatrics. It's also why she was able to slip into playing a recast Patty Williams on Y & R a few short weeks before the climax of the story with Jack Abbott.  She had natural instincts, and knew when the dial it back and when to let loose.  
    • Wow, this was some amazing acting and amazing writing.  And who came up with the idea that Anita would have memorized the letter?  That person deserves an Emmy!  I love it when soap operas do very serious storylines.  So much in the last 40 years on soaps has been done for laughs or as camp.  Its good to see BTG is not afraid to hit the serious notes.  We all knew Anita had a secret, but I never expected this kind of tragedy was behind it.  
    • Finally... the show is giving TT some material to play and I like that Anita isn't coming off as so innocent.   Although I do think so far that the story is mirroring the Supremes just a bit too much with Tracy as Mary, Sharon as Florence, Anita as Diana, and Dante (name?) as Berry.  Andre... run far away from Dani because she isn't over Bill and you're far too good to settle for being second choice.  The fact that I've read comments on other forums stating that Dani just needs the love of a good man makes me think a double standard is at play here.   If the shoe was on the other foot, viewers would be telling Dani not to settle for being second best and to find someone who would put her first.... but since the person in that position is a man, that doesn't apply.   Misandry at it's best. That said, the twist of Naomi and Hayley both witnessing Bill's latest health flare up and being on the same side was nice.   I doubt this will repair their friendship... but it would be nice if the two learned to co-exist on a civil level.   The Dani/Hayley scene was not needed and was the writers attempt to prop Dani.  MVJ certainly  learned about character propping from the Bell soaps. And I guess that Andre/Derek/Ashley is still a thing... or it was at the time this episode was being filmed.  From what I understand.. both Derek and Ashley were one of the characters featured in MVJ's story bible and I'd be curious one day to see what the write ups for both characters were in the intial character pitches (we know that Vanessa was originally named Stacy and was supposed to be AA and more level headed.... so I wonder if perhaps Derek and Ashley had a different write up/vision that changed during casting).   In the 2nd episode of the series, it was established aht Leslie knew Ashley.  She was with Jan and Eva wishing Ashley good luck on her first day nursing.. and all were chummy.
    • Yep, another good episode with a powerful and emotional ending!   I'm really enjoying learning more about Anita's storyline, as they make small reveals each episode. It's also nice not being spoiled about these reveals! It was nice seeing Leslie interact with Derek/Ashley - keep mixing these characters and building a community, it's great. I had to LOL at Derek and Ashley studying the menu though, these people eat at Orphey Gene's every day, surely they have the menu memorized by now haha. Maybe these girls will finally make Bill figure out his problem.
    • There are couple of thoughts I would like to share.  I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters. 1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin.  That is not right.  Drew and AJ were half-brothers.  That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins.  That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia.   2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart.  That would be an interesting end for their characters.  
    • I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.
    • Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed. Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good
    • Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.
