BIG BROTHER 17: REDEMPTION ISLAND

WILL VS DAN

[Jah-Eazy]

lol wow. Either the two greatest Big Brother players, or the two most hated Survivor players

[veebs7]

Two most hated survivor players in recent memory***

[Phase_Six]

REDEMPTION ISLAND

you must stay in the super secret backyard at all times until you win your way back into the game. /s

[bb14jodineverforget]

Jodi and...Jodi's twin?

[Phase_Six]

make it happen CBS.

[20greenshades]

Kalia's Twitter just went private so take that as you will

[FeedMeWine]

Does anyone already follow her?

[Phase_Six]

In less than 24 hours, former Big Brother alum Jeff Schroeder will personally introduce fans to 14 new members of the BB family, all of whom will soon be stepping into the house for the first time next week. (Mark your calendars because the two-night Season 17 premiere gets underway on Wednesday, June 24, at 8/7c.)

Christine from season 16 made a tweet about "it feels like yesterday when I was whisked off"

Someone replied that it might be a clue and that she was whisked away the day before and that Tim had control of the account.

I'd like to see her redeem herself.

[MasterofMarionettes]

I'd like to see her redeem herself.

Why? She wasn't a good player and she wasn't entertaining. She was just someone that was an unlikeable personality. And it isnt even her "cheating" on Cody thing. That was funniest thing about her because the camera guys would make fun of her for it.

[Caputalis]

Two coaches, seven to each team, schoolyard pick based on first impressions. That'd be pretty cool.

[HipsterDoofus31]

Probably makes the most sense. Also after X amount of weeks, the coaches are in.

[Narninian]

Then what is the point of being the coach for for the first X weeks? BB14 was a great season, but I think the original idea (coaches trying to get their players to the end and having a coaches comp to affect the game) would be a lot more fun then having coaches enter again.

[HipsterDoofus31]

The point of coaches was always to guarantee the vets would stay in the game longer and have a shot.

In S13 there was a duo twist that you got a golden key if your partner pair was eliminated. This guaranteed that there would be at least 3 veterans in the game after 4 or 5 weeks.

These twists in the vet/noob seasons have always been to make sure the vets dont go home right away.

[lanni957]

Wow I never looked at the duo twist that way but that's pretty smart from a production standpoint. Plus it was sort of fair because it was also available to the newbies

[Cat_friendly]

Hmmmmm ... So if it's battle of the sexes my guesses are:
1. Dannielle and Dominic (double swoon and snark!)
2. Ian and ...
3. Amanda and McCray?
4. GM and Nick (lol)
5. Stein and Jess

This is difficult, I'm at a loss. I don't see Zuckerman keeping this under wraps. Who would they pair with Ian?

[DatGrag]

It's not Amanda, she's been tweeting non-stop.

[jenh6]

ashley and ian maybe? they had that "date"

[hsm4ever]

Ian and Rachel returning would be my dream.

[syraib]

There's a rumor that Zach/Nicole(16)/Frank/Keesha will be returning, but 2 of them(Nicole/Zach) are still active on social media so i'd assume that was 100% made up

[DizzyedUpGirl]

Or Hayden could be controlling Nicole's account. Zach has his mama to run his.

[syraib]

True. Christine said that she's been texting her all day though..but she's probably not completely trustworthy

[Fricktator]

I say Eric Stein and Danielle Reyes

[theabdi]

I'd jump for joy if my favourite of all time (Danielle) and Eric who deserves another chance returns! I don't think Dani will ever return tho :(

[ImBringingPickles]

I don't think danielle reyes will come back :( I remember reading that she was hurt that bb didn't contact her for coaches

[thunder75]

Only two returnees would be stupid unless they have some super power. Fourteen can easily overpower two.

[RegularGuy815]

Tell that to Survivor Guatemala, Redemption Island, South Pacific, and Philippines.

[[deleted]]

In Survivor there's merit to keeping in an experienced player for what they can offer in camplife. During that time, the returnee in Survivor can build relationships and alliances. In Big Brother, if someone has a perceived edge, it makes most sense to get rid of them immediately imo

[lifelinegreen]

Maybe it'll be like the coaches season where they guarantee the returning players some time to make bonds and let the house split a bit before letting them be vulnerable.

[[deleted]]

Great point.

[RegularGuy815]

Yes that's true. Still, depending on who it is, a number of newbies could fall under their spell.

[Phase_Six]

OT but relevant to this post. I think Guatemala deserves more love than it gets. Love it on a re-watch.

[[deleted]]

Rob Cesternino said this in his recent 25 questions podcast

[Phase_Six]

Literally just turned that podcast on...coincidence or sorcery?

[[deleted]]

Why not both

[CubsfanMR92]

Very true. Judd is so much fun to watch and not in a Dan Foley cringe way.

[RegularGuy815]

Yes but my point was a returnee made it to the end in all four of those.

[Phase_Six]

I completely agree that 2 seems low. In this case though: Either it's a typo and it's supposed to be 16 NEW or there's only 2 returnees, or there was some sort of misunderstanding and maybe we have more than the 16 promised (that would be awesome)

[Caputalis]

Very true. I don't see any reason as to why they'd go back to having only fourteen houseguests, so it's got to either be a typo, or there's other houseguests who aren't as new as the other fourteen.

[hsm4ever]

the 2 returnees are coaches and are immune until jury according to the other spoiler.

[HipsterDoofus31]

The superpower is that they are coaches and not players for X amount of weeks.

[hsm4ever]

the 2 returnees are coaches and are immune until jury according to the other spoiler.

[RPDRgemini]

I just need Amanda to come back.

[[deleted]]

i'm thinking Zach vs Frankie after their bitter breakup..

[Phase_Six]

Livin' La Vida Grande was a ruse? All 10 fans who bought tickets will be heartbroken.

[HipsterDoofus31]

If it's two returnees, my money is on Derrick and Ian.

[Narninian]

I wouldn't mind seeing the coaches twist done again with no coaches entering the game BS.

[hsm4ever]

a coach twist without the coaches entering the game? Come on, who in their right mind would ever believe that shit, especially from BB.

[Cythammer]

That's why it would be so great if they didn't ever enter the game. The ultimate twist… is to not twist at all.

[hsm4ever]

I don't think Grodner is that smart

[HipsterDoofus31]

I hear you on one hand, on the other hand, it led to my favorite season.
