I will admit I am a fan of the Big Brother villains. My favorite players by far are Janelle, Mike Boogie, Dr. Will, Howie, Dan, Dick, and Rachel. There are others I'm fans of (like Jeff and Jordan, Ian, and Brittany) but they can't be classified as villains. I also find that I always end up pulling for the weirdos and gay/bi houseguests. I loved Casey, Lydia, Kevin, James (season 9), Ragan, Marcellas, etc and so on.
My least favorite houseguests have been: Chiara and Josh (S3), Dana and Allison (S4), Diane and Karen (S5), Eric, Maggie, and Ivette (S6), Danielle Donato and Kail (S8) Adam and Sheila (S9) Jessie (S10 & S11) Chima, Russel, and Ronnie (S11) Kathy, Kristen, and Monet (S12), Kalia, Lawon, and Shelly (S13) Jojo, Wil, and Willie (S14), and pretty much the whole cast of Season 15 however most notably Aaryn (what a bitch!).
As you've probably assumed, my least favorite season was 15, and since I didn't pick any players as least favorite from Season 2, yes that was my favorite. In Season 15 the only player I pulled for was Elissa and even then only because she's Rachel's sister. Out of the two of them Rachel was definitely better suited to play Big Brother... but probably only because she's such a big personality and doomed to fail lol. I'm sure everyone was as shocked as I was when she won Season 13. About her now husband Brendon, I'll only say that I liked him better in S13 than S12.. and only because he had Jeff yelling at him all the time. That was such a strange dynamic with Jeff, Jordan, Rachel, and Brendon.
Ok onto Season 16. I'll post pictures of the cast and my first impressions of them upon watching their interviews with Jeff Schroeder.
I got the impression that Amber is a big of an airhead. She gave off a vibe that she's not in it to win, but more for national attention. I'm predicting that her social game will be a big of a flop and she'll most likely be evicted in the first 4 weeks.
Brittany is NOT a BB fan and won't know the game as well as those houseguests who are. I think if she's not shell-shocked by the level of the game being played from the beginning, she might make it far with her social skills. My prediction is, she might make it to jury if she plays it smart.
Caleb struck me as a guy who is too full of himself to connect with anyone to form an alliance. He's more interested in serving someone else up as bait than playing any kind of believable social game. My prediction is he'll play too hard too fast and get booted very early in the game.
Christine strikes me as a real gamer. Competitive, smart, easily likable. If she can play her social game with flawless accuracy, she will make it far. I think her awkwardness and lack of physical ability could be a big drawback for her.
My very first impression was this guy could not be a good salesperson because he sucks at conversation, at least with Jeff. I understood later he could just be nervous with Jeff because he idolizes him as a BB player. He's definitely competitive, physically fit (in appearance) and could score points for himself in physical comps if he plays it smart. If he's not targeted early he could make it pretty far, but still land in jury.
Derrick will need to make a solid alliance from the very beginning to make it far in the game. I think lying about the fact that he's law enforcement could be a big mistake. He has experience blending in and lying with his undercover work so I think he could make it pretty far, maybe even final 4.
Devin will be targeted before they even enter the house. He's a very big guy and physically intimidating. He will really need to work the social aspect to get anywhere in the game. If he works an alpha male mentality he might make it relatively far but not all the way to the end.
Despite the obvious country good ol' boy persona, Donny is a very open and likable kind of guy. He's very funny and if he can get over the age gap and work the kind of social game that makes people want to keep him around (think Chicken George) he will make it to jury or even further.
I first thought Frankie would be more like Wil from S14 so I almost resolved not to like him. Then I saw the interview and loved him immediately. He's very likable, funny, articulate, cute.. I think he'll be a hit with the ladies. He might float along for entertainment value for a bit.
Hayden strikes me as a guy who is trying to hard to pull of the laid-back Frank persona. He's a bit of an airhead, but his social game might carry him for a bit if he teams up with the right people.
Not sure what to think of Jocasta. I usually don't like the overly-churchy kind of houseguest (with the exception of Dan.. but it's obvious he was willing to overlook his moral values for the game lol). I really don't think she's in it to win it, despite what she says to the contrary.
I love Joey! She's quirky, funny, spunky, very personable and likable. I think if she hooks up with the right people she will make it far. I hope to see her in final 4, but generally the people I like right away get evicted before jury (Kaysar!!).
I'm predicting pure floater material in Nicole. She can play the ditzy blonde card but she's relatively smart. She's not as sweet spirited as Danielle (S14) at first impression so I'm not sure if she will make it far at all.
Paola (or as Jeff called her, Pow-Pow) is rather likable despite the dramatic, center-of-attention persona. I'm giving her a 50/50 chance of making it. She'll have to team up with some powerful people from the get-go or else bring her social game.. the other women might revolt against her.
One of the only members of the cast I couldn't stand from start to finish of her interview. She's an idiot in my opinion. She comes off as flaky and narcissistic. I hope to see the back end of her at the first eviction.
I think Zach could be Dan 2.0 but better liked by the cast if he plays his cards right. Dan was well liked in his season but in coaches season, he had to stage his own funeral to get himself out of hot water. I loved Dan but I'm still amazed he made it to final 2.. what a player! Zach seems to be of a like mind with Dan as far as strategy goes. I hope the other houseguests don't spot the Dan in his agenda and send him packing. I'm looking forward to seeing this guy in action.
