I remember once (during season 6 I think) someone was interviewing Julie and asked who her least favorite contestant was and she said it was Jase. She said something like I wouldn't cross the street to talk to him. Then he was on all stars the very next season!

you must be new to the bb fandom if asking a girl if she has an instagram is considered "sexting" these days - when he joins the ranks of howie, james r, james z, brendon, nick s, lane et al in sending dick picks to bb fans then we can call it a scandal. and while singing a rap song that has the "n" word in it on camera is pretty damn dumb, it's hardly the same as "throwing around the n word"

It was very nutty, but I think big brother fans were just excited to be around so many bb players at once. I think there were like 5 of them there that night and it was announced ahead of time. Most of the cast saw Frankie once during his run and people didn't go nuts like they did on that first night. Here's a video of Zach sharing the stage with Frankie for a song during his cabaret show - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0620VN0WnM

That alternate finale was LITERALLY 10 million times better than what aired. Seriously, what were they thinking??

They got $2000 per week in the first all stars. The going rate for newbies was $750 back then I think. Currently the newbies are getting $1000 a week.

So true, the one with Amber, who was actually ON this season, was excrutiating to listen to. Loved to hear Shelly, Eric Stein, Andy, etc.

i've not ever seen a rule that says 1st and 2nd place are excluded from an America's favorite prize, although that could be the case. My improvement idea is showing the first and second parts of the final HOH in the second to last episode, so during the finale they have more time to spend with the evicted houseguests and get better reactions to what's going on. This year especially with the Team America tasks and revealing Derrick is a cop.

OMG yes! Although I am ashamed to admit I followed Amanda on twitter and when she visited McCrae in MN she posted photos of his disgusting car, house and shower and it was every bit as horrific as you could imagine. If him and Jess were together prior to BB she is probably well aware of his filthiness.

The no smoking thing was a puzzler to me too. Would have been funny if a non smoker pulled an Arlie and brought a carton as a bartering tool and have it be an epic fail. Does Frankie still not get that the only person that is (arguably) on his side is Caleb? Does he really not see he doesn't have the numbers or is his plan to just win every competition?

Loved Zach this season! It's too bad the jury segments the last few seasons have been lacking cause that's really all I'm looking forward too with this last MONTH of show. I read somewhere that Jeff/Jordan and Brenchel were asked to do Amazing Race the night after the BB finale so I wouldn't be shocked AT ALL to see either Zach or Donny (or both!!) on that show.

i thought diem and ct were still a couple, did they "break up" just to go on exes?

In cutthroat Paula got eliminated right before the final. The vote didn't even make sense cause Tyler and Dunbar were her friends I thought and that was enough to keep her out of the Gulag, but somehow Brad and Tori convinced them. She seemed quite bitter about that one.

i heard on a podcast that they get a higher appearance fee once they get vet status (it was either after four challenges or at the 4th challenge, it was unclear). So no wonder people like Jasmine and Tyrie keep coming back when they have no shot at the prize money.

Rachel was on season one and Jo was cast for a season and had a freak out the first day.

According to wiki, Johnny has made $400k in his Challenge winnings. If he started in 2006 that's 50k a year, not too shabby. I don't care for the guy, but seems like he loves what he does!
