Behind the Screen: Big Brother 11: Summer 2009

Big Brother remains one of the most-watched summer staples in American television, with its unique format of 24/7 live feeds giving superfans an unmatched window into the social dynamics of the game.

The show's blend of strategic gameplay, showmances, and blindsides has fueled one of the most dedicated online fanbases in reality TV — and Vevmo has been at the center of that conversation for years.

They put people in that previously knew each other. **** and Danielle were estranged father and daughter, 2 of the guys were ex boyfriends, and 2 of the girls were ex best friends. It didn't work out too well for that season since one of the ex boyfriends and one of the ex best friends went home in the first 2 episodes though... In the soulmate season they had a couple that were dating and a couple that had recently broken up.

Haha yeah...but wasn't BB's idea to get these people against each other? And two of them went home right away and the third rekindled?

Well, Joe and Dustin were a huge part of the early season and **** and Danielle WERE the season (as far as I am concerned.) So I thought it was a good secret premise to kick things off. That wasn't the twist though. It was America's player and it played out like gold. Especially when Eric had to go against his better judgment! ;)

We should try out GW! Haha. I honestly could care less about the twist itself, the show is just in need of a good one, and hopefully nothing like BB9.

Eric could have won if it weren't for those meddling kids....wait...nevermind. Um BB8 was awesome. Never been attached to the feeds like I was then either. The cast was almost perfect on terms of adding drama and the twists made the season. Hopefully we can get back to that time soon.

Our luck BB12 will be an allstars and we'll have to sneak in.

I meant to ask you V...how are Natalie and Chelsia in person compared to the edit they received?

The second picture was like a nightmare I once had lol But really cool V1...thanks for the pics.

Both are nice people, particularly Chelsia. She and I have a couple of mutual close friends. I've not yet had a chance to talk to Natalie away from the crowds since she is not in the circle of people I know well from BB. Both are surprisingly short; the TV camera is so distorting of people. Chelsia's body rocks. She is bikini perfect. In truth, almost all the BB cast members are better than their edit. As Brian noted last night, it's a game with a $500,000 prize fought over in an environment of lying and deception. The nice people, who want to play the game but can't, go home first. The person that surprised me the most is April. She is a trooper. She tripped in the bar on Sunday and split her lip quite badly. She spent 15 minutes with an icepack and having a good cry in the ladies' room, and then she was back at the bar. Yesterday, swollen lip and all, she was on the golf course in the pouring rain, with not a single complaint.

Janelle looks great, I hope her real estate career is going well.
GoldenWarrior#44
Natalie was not someone I liked but I actually didn't mind Chelsia when she wasn't having meltdowns. April does seem like she is tougher than she looks and she can take it I guess. Usually the people who get nicer edits are exposed on the feeds as the opposite. And Janelle always looks great and I'm glad she has a career but I hope she'll return for another AllStars.
molds13#45
Yeah, I actually really liked Chelsia. Natalie's edit was a little bit too nutty for me.

I for one hope she NEVER returns. She had her chance at the game TWICE. She doesn't need to be on Big Brother anymore. And Wow @ April she's a soldier.

Each time Janelle pulled into the final three going strong and each time the wrong person won HOH. She has strength in competition and consistently made it to the end. However, she has never won the big one and I'd like to see her give it another go.

If she didn't win the 2 times she was on Big Brother.....What makes you think it'll be any diffrent a third time? She had her chance and she didn't cut it. Let some others get a crack at it. But if that's how you think that's fine.

Not saying that it'll be different at all. She could go in there and get evicted week 2 for all I know. All I'm saying is I'd like to see her back one more time if/when there is another allstars. Also wouldn't mind seeing Chicken George too LOL

Oh no. Even though I didn't mind Chicken George on All-Stars I wouldn't want him back on Big Brother. There's no need for that. But I would like to see some of the people who made the top 20 but didn't get in the house. Like Monica and Dana (MAYBE Ivette). And some others who weren't in the top 20 at all. But yeah all in all I get what you're saying.

Jannie is the best player who has never won Big Brother. Thats a fact!
ssseeeaaann#53
Janelle got screwed by Julie Chen's incompetence. Erika asked Julie if they had to use both hands and Julie only said "yes," without restating the question as a statement of the rule. Janelle didn't hear Erika's question and didn't know it was all of a sudden a rule to keep both hands up.
GoldenWarrior#54
Honestly I wanted Chilltown to make it all the way to the end and was glad Boogie won the money even if Will didn't make it. And maybe there is no need but there rarely is.

No that would be Danielle(season 3). And I didn't want chilltown anywhere near the Final 2. Will already won his season and I HATE Boogie so that would've been lose/lose situation. Honestly I would've had Erika win.

Danielle tried twice and didn't win either....just to point that out lol Boogie may have been played a clean game but I think he played a good game and there was too much bitterness toward Erika for her to win I think.

Yeah you're right about Danielle....But she was a much better player than Janelle. And all Boogie did was ride Will's cotails the whole time (until Will got evicted). And really to be honest....they had no right to be bitter. It was their fault Erika (and ********** it to the Final 2.

Boogie won two HOHs though so that does give him some credit but Will was the mastermind of Chilltown and if he had won that POV at the end he would have made it. But the jury is always bitter and she definitely made alot of them unhappy.

I don't know why it's not like she really did anything (other than convincing Janelle to Break up Chilltown).

Well there was the whole thing between Danielle and Erika...plus Will you know helped fuel those flames in the jury house.

Oh yeah that's right. But still though she didn't do much. And as far as Will goes...I liked him more on his original season. I hated him and boogie on All-Stars.
