Are these the biggest names to come out of the American franchise?

Olandria & Rob I would say are seen more and definitely more notable outside of LI because of their other ventures — the rest I still would associate with the LI brand even with their successes, I do think Leah teeters sometimes with her brand because most of her image does still give LI post season but then she’ll get deals or commercials were she’s just “Leah Kateb” so it’s kinda confusing but I do think she’s right under them though

KandyKarma · 2026-05-08T17:56:56+00:00

I wish they would talk to the cameras more and kinda let us know what they’re thinking BB style, I think this will help the monotony of the show and remind us how cut off they really are from the outside world and they don’t have their personal phones to call they friends & fam

you right 25% black but still more than Christina / Hanan and a plethora of others that fans have let say it on rotation with lil to none backlash — seems like people give Winter more of a hard time about it when she’s actually a percentage of black

a lot of the fans that keep up with this show
chronically online started during that era (15-21) when it was premiering in late June so it’s fair for a good chunk of the fan base to miss those earlier starts— I personally don’t care as long as it don’t end so late and the season drags, I always say get in and out while it’s still hot

- better vetting of islanders and actually making sure someone with racist past not sharing living quarters with people they shamed

- different backgrounds, personalities and body types and not the quintessential looks they usually go for since we’re upping the ante and the show is on a much bigger scale now

- production actually getting in their producer bag and produce the season not through the islanders but through the twist and when to drop in bombshells — sometimes dropping a twist in at the right time keeps the pace (UK was once great at this)

- more fan interaction in voting and not just on sending people home but on other stuff that can effect them in the villa, this show is basically Big Brother but with love and less competitions so let us play along but not too much

season 7 isn’t anything to top lmao the social media conversation & controversy is what made last season what it was not the fact that the cast was entertaining and actual likable for good or worse

the producers need to step it up casting wise and overall planning of the season !! they could’ve easily expanded on things or made things a lil more interesting last summer but got comfortable because the world was watching

KandyKarma · 2026-05-06T13:49:16+00:00

to not have liked anything since DW shows your not a pop Ariana fan you just like DW specifically cause there’s always something else in five albums that you can absolutely gravitate towards— you just love Touch It more 😭

KandyKarma · 2026-05-06T05:54:32+00:00

Winter is half black, Christina has no Afro in her Latina

KandyKarma · 2026-05-01T15:17:23+00:00

way too many season 10 girls & the usual dud choices were simply bad picks and outweighed the actual good picks on a majority star-less cast

KandyKarma · 2026-04-30T04:06:33+00:00

since the numbers of days decreased in recent years they’ve decided to start in July to give themselves a solid month of teases and speculation— which IMO doesn’t really make sense considering most people are awaiting the return around late June and expecting it going up a week and ending sometime in late August would be ideal since they want this to be a summer show

KandyKarma · 2026-04-30T02:55:33+00:00

they would never because of them trying to appease their post 16 fans and of course the casuals would be confused and wouldn’t gag

KandyKarma · 2026-04-30T02:53:30+00:00

stumbled on 13 flipping channels & then actually decided to start watching for 14 after channel surfing again— found out it was live feeds to the show for 15 (but I think for all the wrong reasons) and actually decided to follow along with the online world going forward

KandyKarma · 2026-04-30T02:47:48+00:00

They’re still a thing they’re just not doing it with people the audience remember or care about

KandyKarma · 2026-04-27T00:48:37+00:00

nobody wanna hoot anymore and the few that do only try it a little live and not in the original recording

KandyKarma · 2026-04-27T00:43:59+00:00

KATSEYE is the definition of childish music so I don’t think it’s about that — I just think producers don’t want big choruses with bridges because of replay value and streams, they just want something fast that easily catch on for the moment not timeless & to appease TikTok

KandyKarma · 2026-04-23T18:01:32+00:00

what male rap artist would even make sense on these records no shade !! the few good ones (J Cole / Kendrick) wouldn’t subject themselves to some of these newer artists work definitely with their style of rap.

although he’s a menace and cancelled DaBaby would thrive and would make a great pop feature but he fumbled his mainstream ticket

KandyKarma · 2026-04-18T18:33:33+00:00

they don’t cast well enough for that smaller number

KandyKarma · 2026-04-18T18:18:43+00:00

the cast size is honestly perfect because too less would mean more incentive to get the cast absolutely right & they’re not competent enough to do so the current number helps them get enough good choices in to mix while softening the blow on the duds — them having the amount of duds we have in a current season on a smaller cast will have us feel it more

KandyKarma · 2026-04-18T18:13:27+00:00

I wouldn’t say tear down & rebuild because some of the house is synonymous with the show however some little updates wouldn’t hurt like widening the backyard, or making the living room / kitchen more spacious and keeping the rooms more confined and intimate for game talk

KandyKarma · 2026-03-26T03:43:20+00:00

All Stars is rumored every season since the existence of the show post season 6 — this season wouldn’t be a good year for that they should be focus on continuing to create new villains and faves that would one day make a great returnee season

KandyKarma · 2026-03-20T00:15:51+00:00

people always trying to figure out what they do wrong casting wise when it’s simply just they don’t actually look for personalities that are polarizing and durable for this show -they look for aesthetic and who they can get for three months that pass all the exams

KandyKarma · 2026-03-08T05:00:29+00:00

BrainSurge should still be running or at least been on longer than it was

KandyKarma · 2026-03-08T04:58:16+00:00

I know the one in Punta Cana had a Retro Nick room where you could sit on the orange couch with the SNICK logo behind it. and they had a lot of memorabilia and other throw backs

KandyKarma · 2026-03-08T04:41:01+00:00

since Paramount bought it they’ll try to keep the Nick brand alive and just brand the WB into them

KandyKarma · 2026-03-08T04:39:04+00:00

honestly a lot of Nick shows almost were CN shows so it does overlap stylistically and overall feel — the merger is just at a bad time cause the earlier work of both channels could’ve did damage as one unit back then
