Behind the Screen: Big Brother Open Discussion (Feed Spoilers)

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Yes, Big Brother/CBS can cast anyone not bound by another exclusive contract, but... Anyone under contract to MTV and BMP requires approval from the network and production company, 'cause they own your *** for all TV rights, world-wide for the entire length of the contract. I know a couple of former MTV cast members who have auditioned for Survivor. While the people involved in casting treated those people very well in the audition process, none of them even got a call back. Another said the casting director said they really only wanted "new blood." People like Trishelle who have done other reality shows are professionally cast through their agents for very specific reasons.

Thanks for clearing that up! I asked because I heard a rumor that someone from The Challenges is gonna be on Big Brother 13 on July 7th. I'm excited now.

Please share the rumor privately with one of the mods and it will get checked out. They have ways only known to the coven...

What was everyone's favorite season?

I've never seen any of the old seasons, but I've heard 6 and 8 or 9 were really good. Out of the ones I seen(I've started watching at season 10), I'd say I liked 11. There were a few good twists and loved the drama that Jesse and his crew brought. Jeff and Jordan are probably my favorite houseguests, I rooted for them pretty much through the whole thing.

I really liked season 3 because of it's rawness and added competition with the veto. I liked season 5 because of Drew. I didn't like season 6 because that's when the super fans started happening with the Janelle/Kaysar crazes. I liked Janelle and Kaysar but I think some went a little crazy with it. These newer seasons I liked All Stars because of Will, I hated season 8. Then I liked 10 because of the casting diversity, I didn't like it in the beginning because my favorites were being voted off by a mafia bandwagon, but ultimately my favorite won. Season 12 seemed a little fake, but I enjoyed Britney. I'm hoping this season will be more like 3 and 10, but with the way reality shows are being casted these days I probably have a better shot at winning the lottery. :-(

That person is not on the show, but is a segment producer for CBS-TV in LA.

Well, one could reasonably assume that I didn't mention the name for a reason.

Very true, but one could also reasonably assume that you didn't mention the name because you wanted someone to ask, which you do sometimes.

Interesting... Can you say who that someone is, or do you not know?

True, but not in this case. Check your PMs.

One of my favorite BB clips of all time. :D

In BB UK news, two-time BB winner Brian Dowling is confirmed to be the new host! I like Brian, he certainly is very wity, but I'm not sure how good he'll be at carrying the live shows. Certainly nobody can be better than Davin(one of, if not, the best relity tv host imo), but she believes in him, so I'll withhold judgement until later next month when CBB starts. :) Davina McCall thinks Brian Dowling will be the 'Ultimate' Big Brother host | TV: Latest News | STV Entertainment

Brian Dowling will do fine I bet. He always knows when to make someone laugh and has just the right sense of humor to host. No one will beat Davina though. However, if I had to choose someone as my favorite host, it's Gretel Killeen from Big Brother Australia!

The only reason Danielle lost season 3 is because they showed all her Diary Rooms to the cast before voting & she basically talked a lot of trash about everyone. She was clearly the best player that season & I was upset for a very long time that she didn't win even though I also liked Lisa.

I totally agree. If sequester was around during BB3 there is no question in my mind that Danielle would have won that season.

Exactly! I remember she always called Roddy the devil & had a lot of mean things to say about Khiara(sp?) also. She WORKED that season!
fabulous788#262
Danielle (BB3) is definitely one of the best people to play and never win in my opinion as well. Not only did she play it almost flawlessly. Her Diary Room Sessions were always on point and not only that they were hysterical. She was never one of my favorite players, but she definitely should have won.

Yeah, I'm sure he'll do great. I'm actually getting pretty excited about BB UK coming back! I'm hopefull that they won't try to change the show too much. The announcer that did the other seasons is coming back, which gives me hope that they're trying to stay true to the original. And Grettle was amazing! I remember people were mad at her being "mean" to that ****** whose name escapes me, but I personally didn't care. I'm not sure why she left the show, but it's a shame that she did.

I'm still bitter about that one. Danielle ran circles around everyone that season and it's a shame that Jason was the only one that was able to recognize that! I liked Lisa just fine, but she should not have won! I still say that she's one of the only people could rival Will as the best strategic player ever! She really did lose because of a flaw in the game, even the producers will admit that!

Big Brother 10 and 6 are my favorite seasons!

Those are my favourite seasons as well; almost everything about season six was perfect, and season 10's cast was phenomenal. My least favourite seasons would have to be 8, 11, & 12.

I could see Brendon or Dani doing that, but not Rachel. She wants to milk this BB "fame" for all it's worth!
Raymond21#270
BB13 has been way too predictable. Dani needs to win HOH and make some game changing moves. I blame the golden key twist!
dplayer18#271
I agree Rey. Some people don't even have enough screen time cause of the golden key! Dani and Porsche need to be featured more lol. I hope Dani takes control and gets rid of Brenchel and allied with JJ!
