Bring Back The Stripper!! Vote On Who Gets Into BIG BROTHER 7: ALL-STARS!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
“Big Brother” – almost cancelled after its half-baked debut season - is a huge hit in the United States, and garners a bigger audience with each new summer, but I think the British version is bigger. Like maybe “American Idol” bigger.
In the first American season of “Big Brother,” producers used the rules they use in the overseas versions of “Big Brother” - allowing viewers to vote on who got booted from the house. First they booted out Will “Mega” Collins – easily the most entertaining season-one character. Then they voted out Jean Jordan the hot young stripper. Stupid Americans!
So CBS did something really smart. They hired new producers and made "Big Brother much more like “Survivor” – allowing the houseguests to vote on the final bootings.
On tonight’s “Big Brother 7: All-Stars” casting special, we learn the identities of 20 series veterans who want back in. America will get to vote on which, if memory serves, 12 or 14 who get to join this year's all-star cast. Voting starts at midnight ET, right after the special airs on the West Coast. You can cast your vote here until polls close on June 28. Season seven should begin in earnest about a week later.
Here’s who won the first six seasons:
Eddie McGee (1)
Will Kirby (2)
Lisa Donahue (3)
Jun Song (4)
Drew Daniel (5)
Maggie Ausburn (6)
Here’s who came in second place the first six seasons:
Josh Souza (1)
Nicole Nilson Schaffrich (2)
Danielle Reyes (3)
Alison Irwin (4)
Michael “Cowboy” Ellis (5)
Ivette Corredero (6)
One expects a lot of the candidates will be drawn from these 12. (Except maybe Eddie McGee, the surly one-legged fellow who won season one.)
Other candidates I believe I’d like to see get a second chance tonight:
Brittany Petros (1)
Jean Jordan (1)
Will “Mega” Collins (1)
Krista Stegall (2)
Shannon Dragoo (2)
Amy Crews (3)
Chiara Berti (3)
Tonya Paoni (3)
Erika Landry (4)
Dana Varela (4)
Michelle Mardie (4)
Karen Gancy (5)
Lori Valenti (5)
Marvin Latimer (5)
Sarah Hrejsa (6)
Rachel Plencher (6)
Howie Gordon (6)
Kaysar Ridha (6)
Janelle Pierzina (6)
Recall what most of these people look like:
Season Two Cast
Season Three Cast
Season Four Cast
Season Five Cast
Season Six Cast
CBS gave Bobby Jon Drinkard and Stephanie LaGrossa another chance. Why not Jordan the stripper?
UPDATE!! The actual nominees:
“Chicken” George Boswell (1)
Bald Gay Bunky Hill (2)
Evil Doctor Will Kirby(2)
Mike Boogie Malin (2)
Monica “It’s On!” Bailey (2)
Bald Gay Marcellas Reynolds (3)
Fabulous Lisa Donahue (3)
Dramatic Danielle Reyes (3)
Coltish Erika Landin (4)
Excitable Dana Varela (4)
Vixenish Alison Irwin (4)
Pitt-Worshiping Jase Wirey (5)
Michael “Cowboy” Ellis (5)
Jennifer “Nakomis” Dedmon (5)
Horny Diane Henry (5)
Master Jedi Howie Gordon (6)
“King” Kayser Ridha (6)
Angry Ivette Corredero (6)
Veto Czar James Rhine (6)
Mouthy Janelle Pierzna (6)

FIRST! (I think)
-
There are much better canidates than the ones listed.
-
As it should be.
-
It is my shameful confession that I am a BB fan. HOwever, I couldn't help but not care much about half way through last season. All that hype over "cappy" drove me insane. I just wanted to say that Will, winner of Season 2, better make an appearance because he is by far one of the best the show has ever seen. The guy pissed off everyone in the house on a regular basis and still won the whole thing. That takes skills.
-
Damn double post. Anyway, I'm one of the few people who's watched every single episode from every season (I even downloaded the "lost" episode that was dumped because of 9/11). I'm not proud of this, I just have no life of my own. Anyway, it is a shame that people like Will Mega, Curtis, and the stripper from the first season are likely to be bumped for the bland, pretty-people from the last 2 seasons. By the way, do you know that with the 6 seasons of people trapped in that house, there's only been 1 act of intercourse. In the international version, people are screwing all of the time. Stack the deck well this time Arnold.
-
While many people found the first season to be boring, it was that non-competitive atmosphere that I found compelling. Because they weren't as competitive with one another, we got to know them as people, rather than as schemers and backstabers. Of course they also had a more or less diverse cast of actually likable people and now they just pick promiscuous people that look good in swimwear...
-
What about Chicken George???
-
It's always confused me why BB is such a massive hit worldwide, but less so in the US. Here in the UK BB dominates the summer on CH4 and gets loads of press coverage. It has dwindled in popularity in recent years, but in its hey-day it was THE talking point. I think the reason BB US doesn't work as well is primarily because America is such a big country. You just can't get that collective experience because of all the time-zones. Americans also impose strange rules that (for every other country) sort of defeats the point of the show. The fact the US BB allows housemates to have the final say is a fundamental flaw, imo, and bizarre that it works in the US. It's far more fun to let the audience be in TOTAL control of evictions, otherwise the housemates just vote off who they all hate the most (not always the best thing in terms of entertainment -- let them suffer with some nut-job for weekd on end!) Oh well... there's obviously cultural differences at work. The UK version of Survivor crashed and burned BADLY, for eg. Anyway, the UK rules the reality TV roost with Pop/American Idol, etc... ;-)
-
If I have to watch another reality show full of idiots who only want to drink and screw and yet claim "you don't know me" then I'll stop watching. Not that the last group of BB guests have been braniacs...but at least they are there to play a game and win money as opposed to act like idiots under the BS guise of "being real".
-
BB US 1 was set up like BB UK and it failed miserably. Worst television ever. So they made it a Survivor copy. Simply put, Americans cannot be trusted to vote properly (see our elections). American BB is ridiculously nasty, petty and brings out the worst in already vile mediawhores. That is what makes it great.
-
Didn't care for the format switch.
-
And Jordan may have been hot, but she didn't do any stripping on the show, she was a self-absorbed whinner.
-
Especially since you could watch 100% live feeds, for free, online. That was innovative and excellent. Once they got rid of that, I stopped watching. (By the way, I had a huge crush on Brittany Petros.) :)
-
And how exactly do you define "huge hit"???
-
He's the real Big Brother all-star. Do not attempt to deny it. I have a dog-eared collector's edition of 1984 in a glass case in my mountaintop retreat.
-
Us fellow hicks don't get to see this episode until 2:30am. Yay! Wheat!
-
He was my season 1 favorite and kept the house interesting. Hercules, if you thought Will "Mega" Collins was interesting, then you're retarded. He was ignorant and racist.
-
Hoping to see Howie get back in there and once again, be the resident laugh factor and Star Wars nerd :)
-
CBS choose the other six. Anyway, the Top 20 are:
Alison
Bunky
Dana
Danielle
Diane
Erika
George
Howie
Ivette
James
Janelle
Jase
Kaysar
Lisa
Marcellas
Michael (Cowboy)
Mike
Monica
Nakomis
Dr. Will
-
Did somebody ask for me by name?????...And thus, accept imitations! - - - George, The 7th Chicken!!!!
-
Face it people America loves that Iraqi.
-
Letting US contestants vote each other off on a regular basis is silly (now and again to their faces,then cancelling it,then asking to the public to vote,that would be entertaining).I tried to watch your version and it seems that the producers don't really grasp the concept and the contestants used too much therapy talk(sorry about my vocab I'm on a roll :>).In my opinion,for maximum entertainment in the UK version,they should let people drink on a regular basis,and create situations that create unity,then division and then division in united groups that formed from the original unity(and breathe phew).It's just not coarse enough,they should put me in charge,I'd deal with it.For example,if a Contestant wins a task,they can enforce their musical tastes on the rest of the house for a week,24 hours a day,that would bring kick off's on a regular basis..As for this years contestants all I have to say is this,any man who applies for Big Brother in a World Cup year needs a good kicking.
-
I was in the audience at the live finale for s5, and past contestants were there, chilling. Jason was by far the nicest man of the group, and crazy cheese-obsessed Amy also from s3 was actually very kind and sensibly quiet. That jackass ex from s4 (was his name Robert?) was still a jackass, though.
-
And really, Evil Dr. Will is the only "All-Star" Big Brother has. Which makes this idea lame.
-
Gotta get James in the house.
-
Cowboy > you
-
Janelle and Kaysar are pretty much locked in cause everyone loves them, and howie. Ivette is out cause everyone hated her. Chicken george has a chance but cause no one saw the first season he might not.
-
I saw Mike "Boogie" at the Von's in West Hollywood just this last weekend and he was still wearing that stupid visor. What a fuckin' tool.
-
The "strong" players have to work together to avoid being targeted and booted right away. The question is, are they smart enough to figure that out?
-
I despise the woman. I was one of the few people who backed "The Friendship" from last year over the rest, not because I really liked anybody in "Friendship" outside of Maggie, but I thought Janelle was a cruel, spiteful, ugly bitch. She brought down the entire game by going too far with the putdowns and all-around "I'm a genius" attitude. The only two people who could be called great gameplayers last year were Kaysar and James. She just fought really hard. But no, she represents everything I hate about my generation.
-
Some one legged drunk guy won the first season and has not been seen since. As for Kaysar he's duller than a misfired vest bomb. People just think they are cool to side with a muslim for no other reason than he's a muslim
-
I hate her. I also hated her W.C. Field nose. Did it totally go under the knife or something? Don't vote for the piece of poop. This returning player thing was a BAD IDEA. If any of the people that I can't stand make the cut, there is definitely no way I could watch. And if they didn't, I still probably wouldn't watch.
-
That's not cool dude, and for me personally I like Kaysar simply for who he is - plane and simple.
-
You know as much as I hated Ivette. I hated her more than any single person in "reality tv". But saying that, I want her back in the house. I just want to see her interaction with everyone else. Espeically after the well deserved rep she got while she was in the house.
As far as Kaysar, as much as he was loved by vewiers. I think he may have a big targe on his back. -
That's your Six, right there.
-
She was kinda slutty and pissed the other girls off with tales of her sex life. *Sigh*...good times.
-
Nice Kaysar/terrorist jab there, MRJON
-
Kaysar schooling Bush-supporter James on the realities in Iraq was the best part of the entire series.
-
...cause it was a house full of regular people, just hanging out. Non of them knew how to play the game (there really was no game to play) so there was no skeming or back-stabbing. They just talked, figured out ways to keep themselves entertained and actually felt bad when people were kicked out. Just normal people in a house being watched 24/7. Above all, it was facinating that such a thing was actually on television. All the seasons that followed just became like any other reality show. I voted for Chicken George.
-
Ivette was the worst stereotype for a chick ever. Moody, Crazy, unbalanced and willing to follow the first man who told her she was cool. The Friendship were the worst bunch of losers to band together in history. If you supported them you obviously hate America.
-
I'm mystified as to why anybody could have found those self-absorbed douchebags "likeable." Brittany Petros was the worst. The only two that were interesting were the black guy who was immediately dumped by the others because they were racists and they were afraid of him and the stripper who never stripped. That one-legged guy was ok too, I guess. He did tell them "I'll piss on everyone here to win this money," so that was cool that at least one person didn't get involved in all that smarmy "bonding" that they did. I don't watch this shoe to watch people hug, I want to see some goddamn hatred and scheming and fucking throats getting cut. That's why Dr. Will was the best ever. He was the most ruthless and he was honest about being ruthless. Nothing irritates me more than when these self-obsessed, narcisstic reality show attention whores try to delude themselves and the sudience that they're "playing with integrity" (they never are) or pretend that they wouldn't smother their grandmother with a pillow for an extra ten minutes of national face-time. If you're playing with integrity, you don't fucking belong there. Just be like Will...admit you're a sociopath and play the game without a lot of phoney remorse. It's onnly a GAME, after all. It's not like they shoot the losers (although that would be AWESOME if they did).
