Is it too early to say that Big Brother is back? After two seasons of cast members who just voted with the majority and were afraid to make ripples, we are back with a household of schemers and hot heads. In last night’s episode, we saw a meltdown, an insurrection, and battle of egos. THIS …

Well, the time has nearly come to say goodbye to our first houseguest of the season on Big Brother. Technically, we already said goodbye to Jodi, but she barely counts as her only contributions to the show thus far have been smiling awkwardly and falling over. Actually, that’s kind of awesome. Coming into Wednesday’s show, …

You guys… I think I really like this season of Big Brother so far. I know it’s early, and I know nothing really has happened, but we’ve only had two episodes; so we can’t expect too much. That being said, the potential for scheming feels high. With the four coaches already plotting each other’s demise …

Great news people: Big Brother is baaaaaaaack!!! I wasn’t able to tour the house this year (BOOO), but my enthusiasm remains high, especially now that CBS has released the photos and bios of the new cast. Well, mostly. There are still four returning cast member that have yet to be identified. I’m not crazy about …
The confetti has fallen. The seats have emptied. The house has been cleared out. Big Brother 13 is over, and another season is behind us. It’s taken me a day to get around to this photocap — not because I’m curled up in a ball of sadness, but because in the wake of the finale, …

One of the great pleasures of watching Big Brother is observing how people stuck in a house battling for money will claw and fight their way to the top of the heap. This often involves the formation of alliances, replete with stupid names, and more often than not, those alliances collapse in the most spectacular …

It was another twisty-turny sequence of events on last night’s penultimate episode of Big Brother 13. Coming into Thursday’s show, it seemed as though the vets were about to walk away with victory, but as Julie so often warns us: we should expect the unexpected…
We’re coming down to the wire on Big Brother, and I find myself torn in many ways. On the one hand, I’ve found myself rooting for Rachel out of all people. After all, she is the unquestionable star of the season (as she was last year), and despite her ridiculous histrionics, she’s actually played a …

A lot of people in the comments section on this site and elsewhere on the Internet have been totally ragging on season thirteen of Big Brother, and while it’s hardly as good as some of the past iterations, I don’t think it’s at the bottom of the pile as some people suggest. Just think back …
