Season 13 of Big Brother was interesting! The winner of Season 8, Evil Dick Donato and his daughter, Danielle Donato, were amongst the houseguest. Evil Dick was removed from the house early during the show, because he tested positive for HIV.

In addition, other returning houseguest included Rachel and Brendon; and Jordan and Jeff. Surprisedly, Jordan and Jeff were mean this time around. They were like bullies, believe it or not.

Furthermore, the decision that cost the houseguest is when they voted out Lawson instead of Rachel. They certainly learned from keeping a strong versus a less than strong player.​

Big Brother Season 12 was full of drama! Hayden and Kristen had a secret showmance. Lance was funny and in like with Brittany. Enzo was also funny. Rachel and Brendon met. Enzo started the Brigade, but Matt tried to take credit. Let’s learn more about these lively characters below.

Annie White was a 27 year old Bartender from Tampa. She was the first evicted. She was the Saboteur. Oh Annie, where are you?

@bigbrothercbs Season 12 Monet Stunson, a 24 year old model from Illinois, became buddies with Brittany quickly. However, Brittany lasted much longer than Monet. Monet was targeted early.


Currently, Monet is a Pilates Instructor. She is married to Lucas Kramer. #bigbrother #realitytv #afforci afforci.com

Brendon Villegas was a tough contender during Season 12. He sacrificed playing, by voluntarily being evicted in order to allow Rachel to continue to play. They literally just met, but love is love.

Brendon is married to Rachel, and they have two kids.

Season 11 of Big Brother was one of the most dysfunctional and cut-throat seasons ever!!! However, it included one of the funniest scenes in Big Brother!

Braden Bacha was a Surfer from Cali when he entered the house for Season 11. He was too cool for the house, and was the first evicted. He is an actor and writer, known for Ghost Babe (2020), Hidden Heroes (2019) and 90210 Shark Attack (2014).

Jessie Godderz was a 23 year old body builder from Iowa when he entered Big Brother Season 11 home. This was Jessie’s second season. While his stay was short, he impacted a few of the female houseguests. When he was evicted, they shedded long-lasting tears.

Jessie turned his five minutes of fame into major success. He is a Pro Wrestler. He has appeared as a guest star on other seasons.

Chima Simone is a graduate of a top university in America, the University of Southern California. Despite experiencing a public tragedy of being raped by a serial rapist, she shows great courage by not allowing that adversity to deter her from success.

She had emotional outbursts during the season, and the last one ended in her demise as she was escorted off the show via the diary room.

Chima Simone is a mother and writer. She can be found on Twitter and Instagram.

Jeff Schroeder

Big Brother Season 10 was filed in 2009.  It included 13 houseguests.  It was a an interesting season.  Let's see if you recognize any of these reality stars:  Jessie Godderz, Jerry MacDonald, Dan Gheesling, Bryan Ollie, Robert "Memphis" Garrett, Keesha Smith, Lorenza "Renny" Martyn, Libra Thompson, April Dowling, Michelle Costa, Steven Daigle, Bryan Hart, and Angie Swindell.

Bryan Hart, was a 27 year old Telecommunications Manager when he entered the Big Brother house for Season 10. He was very active early, and he was the first evicted.

Steven Daigle.

Steven Daigle was the second evicted. Not bad for a 35 Year old Rodeo Competitor from Dallas, Texas. He was openly gay in the house. It was last reported that he was a Porn Star in Cali. Oh wait, he also went to jail due to a porn star’s brawl.

Angie Swindell was immediately attached to Bryan Hart, the first evictee. She followed shortly thereafter. By the way, has anyone seen her since 2012?

Jessie Godderz was a 22 year old body builder from Iowa when he entered Season 10 of the Big Brother house in 2012. He was evicted early, but capitalized on his Mr. PEC-Tacular persona in future seasons as a guest star.

He is current a Pro Wrestler. Way to go Jessie! He turned his passion into a way to make a living. Great way to use five minutes of fame.

Thanks YLibra Thompson, a 31 year old HR Specialist from Spring, Texas in 2008. She was very vocal and active with her strategic efforts. She received verbal backlash in the house. Julie Chen, via audience questions, often picked on her during live episodes regarding leaving her infants to be a houseguest. Guess what Julie, men leave their children all the time to pursue their dreams! So there!

Libra is currently a teacher in Texas. She is married to the same man, and they have two daughters and a son.

April Dowling was 30 years old and a Financial Manager from Arizona when she entered the house for #BB10. She had a showmance with Ollie.

​April married Ryan Cruise. She has two children. April Dowling Cruise resides in Nebraska.

Michelle Costa was the feisty Hispanic female on the show. She can be found on Instagram, and appears to be single.

Bryan Ollie quickly fell for April, however, he was still focused on playing the game.

He is a family man in Arizona. You can find him on Instagram.

Keesha Smith was a 29 year old Hooters Waitress from Burbank, California when she entered the house. She was close to Memphis, however, it was the final three guys who made it - she was dispensable collateral. She can be found on Instagram.

Jerry MacDonald

Jerry MacDonald was the oldest to play Big Brother. He was 75 years old during Season 10. He held his own. I wish he was more accepting of the diverse houseguests. He had arms wide open for his own, except Renny and Dan.

A picture is worth a thousand words. What do you think about all of this controversy surrounding a former Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise Contestant?

Jade and Tanner both appeared on Bachelor and Bachelorette, respectively. They met on Bachelor in Paradise.

First of all, Jade has many nude pics on Google Images. Her own brother described her as a wild mustang. Is that an understatement?

Next, she had one if her sons in her closet. Was this a media ploy? The couple does seem like media wh****.

Finally, she won $1 million in a fantasy sport contest, and they took it back because of an alleged cheating scandal that involved her husband Tanner Tolbert.

Big Brother Season 6 was filmed in 2005.  It included 14 houseguests. Who was the big winner?  The houseguest names are: Kaysar Ridha, Ashlea Evans, Ivette Corredero, Michael Donnellan, Eric "Cappy" Littmann, Sarah Hrejsa,  Jennifer Vasquez, Rachel Plencner, Howie Gordon, James Rhine, Beau Beasley,  April Lewis, Janelle Pierzina, and Maggie Ausburn.  The ages ranged from 22 to 36.  One of my favorite all-time players was on this season.  Can you guess who my favorite player from this season?

Janelle Pierzina was a 25 year old VIP Cocktail Waitress from Miami Beach, Florida when she entered the Big Brother House for Season 6 in 2005.  She was by far the best player on this Season, and one of the best players of all-time.  

In my eyes, she finished in first place (despite the fact that another player received the prize money).  She has her own unique style, and quickly became America's favorite.  She is a great example to women, especially women who get classified as pretty.  She showed that you can be attractive, have a brain, and also be physically fit to compete against the guys.  Thank you Janelle!

Janelle also competed on Amazing Race with another former Big Brother houseguest.  Janelle is a top-selling Real Estate Broker in Minnesota.  She is married to Jess Desanto in 2010, and they have three children.  She can be found on Instagram.

More to come regarding this bombshell!

​Maggie Ausburn was a 27 year old Emergency Room Nurse from Las Vegas, Nevada.  Her secret partner was Eric.  Just like Las Vegas is known for gambling, Maggie got pure lucky and beat out the best player during Season 6.  The best player, and one of my all-time favorites is the third place finisher.  Maggie lives a quiet life since winning.  

​Ivette Corredero was a 25 year old Waitress from Miami Beach, Florida when she entered the Big Brother house for Season 6.  She finished in 2nd place.  Her secret partner was Beau Beasley.  She can be found on Twitter.  Ivette was lucky to win the final Head of Household.  She selected Maggie, instead of Janelle to sit next to her.  Would things have ended differently for Ivette if she selected Janelle?  She lost to a 4:3 vote.

April Lewis was a 31 year old Pharmaceutical Sales Rep from Dallas, Texas in 2005.  She entered the Big Brother house and her secret partner was Jennifer Vasquez.  April finished in 4th place.  As you will soon see, this season was the only season so far to feature a final four that was all female.  She can be found on Twitter and Instagram.  It is reported that April has been married to Matthew Lewis since 2004. She appeared on a Lifetime special regarding marriages in a romance rut.  #afforci

​Jennifer Vasquez was a 27 year old Arena Football League Dancer from Plano, Texas when she entered the Big Brother House in 2005.  Her secret partner was April Lewis.  She was evicted in 9th place, which means she lasted 49 out of the 80 days.  The things we do for money.  Check out the below video of an online commercial she made.

Like, who is Ashlea Evans?  I totally don't remember this name from Big Brother.  Perhaps it is because she was the first evicted?  Ashlea Evans was a 22 year old Fashion Design student from Plantation, Florida.  She was the youngest guest during this season.  She was secretly partnered with Janelle Pierzina.  

While researching her, we found that her Twitter account was suspended.  In addition, she is listed as being in attendance for the Twitter Online reunion for Big Brother 6, it occurred in April 2020.  Her Instagram account is allegedly active.  Additional details point to her owning this business.

​Sarah Hrejsa was a 23 year old Retail Manager from Chicago, Illinois when she entered the Big Brother house for Season 6.  She was the second youngest in the house.  She was evicted on day 40.  Sarah's secret partner was James Rhine.

Which Big Brother Season will you enjoy the most?  Season 5 or Season 6?
You will notice the differences between CBS' Big Brother Season 5 versus Season 6.  Season's 5 was themed the DNA for Do Not Assume, as some of the houseguest were surprised to find themselves competing against their relatives.  We voted Season 6 as the best of the two.  Our favorite houseguests is Janelle Pierzina and Kaysar Ridha, and both were on Season 6.  We can safely state that Season 6 is the best Season of all the earlier seasons (1 through 6).  Watch it and you will not be disappointed!  

Demeanor & Intellect:
Very rowdy group in Season 5.  The southern belles aka the twins: Adria and Natalie were very candid with their thoughts.  Marvin, also from the south, was very direct and straight forward.  Drew appeared to be the most intelligent.  Mike was the idea man, as he firmly stood up for what he believed.

Season 6 had a cast that included behavior types that were classy (Janelle & Kaysar) all the way down to ghetto (Ivette).  Eric, a firefighter from Las Vegas, was very abrasive in his communication style.  Maggie was overall quiet, but sneaky.  

Head of Household Intensity
HOH included and they were somewhat challenging for Season 5.  The earlier seasons had it easy when it came to competitions.

HOH competitions are getting better.  This season included a nice variety of endurance and trivia style competitions.  Howie was the first to win the HOH twice.

Jury.
The Jury was sequestered.  It was the last 7 or so evictees.

Sequestered jury as well for Season 6.  There wasn't a lot of time spent showcasing the jury.

Pets.
None.

None for Season 6.

Veto.
Golden Veto continued.  The houseguest were able to pick other houseguest to play.  This is why Nakomis great idea to backdoor Jase worked well.  Instead of nominating him, they decided to make sure he didn't play the Veto competition and backdoored him.

Season 6 continued the same type of Golden Veto where they picked their own player.

Laundry.
Season 5 had to use an old-fashioned ringer type of washer to wash clothes.

Holly King.

Lori Valenti.

You will notice the differences between CBS' Big Brother Season 3 versus Season 4.  Season's 4 was themed the X-Factor, as some of the houseguest were surprised to find themselves competing against their exes.  We voted Season 3 as the best of the two.  Our favorite houseguest of all time, Jason Guy, was on this season.  It's nice to see a good-natured person on this reality show.  His sweet ways shined throughout the episode.

Demeanor & Intellect:
Mostly wild and couple of faith-driven:  The houseguests on Season 3 showed their wild side, especially the women.  There is no surprise that this season's post-activity included three arrests and one Playgirl model.  This was the first season that two houseguests had sex on the show.  The two lovely houseguest were David Lane and Amanda Craig.

Typical money-driven individuals:  The houseguests on Season 4 was focused on the money.  It was cut-throat and full of drama.  The addition of some of the houseguest's ex, made this a different type of season.  Ironically two of the exes made it to the final few with their ex (Robert and Erica, and June and Jee).

Head of Household Intensity
HOH included and they were somewhat challenging.  We wanted to see a little more intensity, as we found some of the contests too easy during Season 3.

HOH included.:  The same sentiment as Season 3.  We wanted more intensity during Season 4. 

Jury.
All of the evicted houseguests were judges and voted for the winner on Season 3.
Sequestered the jury for the first time and sent them to exotic or relaxing locations.
Also allowed the first 4 evicted to compete for the chance to return to the house.  Amy returned after the houseguest voted between her and Eric returning.

Sequestered jury as well for Season 4.

Pets.
Season 3 had lizards.

​Season 4 had lizards.

Veto.
Season 3 introduced the Golden Veto.  The winner couldn't  save themselves (imagine that), but could remove a nominated houseguest.  All houseguest played the veto.
During the final Veto, the winner could use it to save themself (silly Marcellus :).  

Season 4 also used the Golden Veto, and all the houseguests played for it.
During the Final 6, the veto was presented as an opportunity to take it, if you agree to place the other houseguests on peanut butter jelly for a period of time.  Despite already holding the HOH title, Jee accepted the offer, and the houseguests voted him out the next week.

Laundry.
Both seasons had to use an old-fashioned ringer type of washer to wash clothes.  


Smoking.
Season 3 - didn't show anyone smoking.

Season 4 did show a smoker, Jee.
