If you're a fan of the reality TV show "Big Brother", you undoubtedly already know that this season is one of the ultimate reality TV ratings boosters : the All Star cast. What does that mean? It means they're bringing back America's favorite cast members from seasons past in an effort to draw more existing viewers back, and to create enough buzz to also draw new fans. Not only that, they're letting America pick their favorite "characters", and when I say that, I mean that literally and figuratively, by an online vote. They've put 20 past cast members up for the picking, and America gets to vote on their favorite twelve to become the cast for the newest season of Big Brother. My personal top picks will be three people from the last season, my personal favorite. The first choice is the bitchy byt savvy and cunning Janelle, outrageously goofy Howie the "Jedi Master", and the dark but cute and witty Kaysar. The three battled it out last season with the "Nerd Herd" who repeatedly stabbed them in the back, but who ultimately ended up ousting the close pack from the house. BB, as Big Brother is affectionately known, was also smart in their nominations, since they picked the most nominees from the highest rated seasons, virtually guaranteeing those return viewers. So, that leaves one question. Who will America pick, and will the producers at BB add a twist this season? Some of the previous twists included bringing in "the exes" in the Ex Factor season, where several of the player's ex boyfriends and girlfriends were brought in to play and to throw the obligatory wrench in the original player's gameplans, and of course cause more drama and ratings. Then there was the season of undercover twins playing as one player, with other unbeknownst players having family members they didn't know they had in the house. Oh, and who could forget last seasons twist where all players came into the game with secret partners who were previously acquainted? What will the Big Brother twist be this year with the All Star cast, if anything? Will Julie Chen, the host of BB, continue to loosen up and have a good time hosting the show? Will eye candy win over the entertainment factor? This season should be interesting, to say the least, and if you aren't already a Big Brother fan, you may want to start this season! |
