CBS selected Janelle and Nicole to be a part of the Big Brother 22 cast during the summer of 2020. It was a milestone season for the reality competition series, so All-Stars was in order. Janelle, one of the most beloved houseguests to ever play the game, appeared on Big Brother 6, Big Brother 7, and Big Brother 14. And Nicole was on Big Brother 16 and won Big Brother 18.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and to celebrate, we’re looking back on five romances from the CBS reality competition show Big Brother. Showmances have been a part of the game since season 2 when Dr. Will Kirby first coined the term in the series. And whereas they are sometimes used for game purposes, other times, couples that meet on Big Brother carry their relationship over into the real world.

Hey, fellow "Big Brother" fans. We are back at you on this Friday night because another very important event took place in the Big Brother season 22, All-Stars house earlier today, and we're here to tell you all about it. As we previously reported,Dani aka Daniele Donato won the Hoh (Head Of Household) competition last night,September 10, 2020. So, today, it was her turn to nominate two houseguests for eviction during her nomination ceremony. After her nomination ceremony was all said and done,Kevin and David were revealed to be her two nominees for eviction this week. David does have the Disruptor power that he won in the Bb Basement, twist comp last week. His power allows him to take himself off the block. We expect him to use it. So, Dani will,for sure, have to nominate someone else whenever David pulls it out.

Big Brother: All-Stars premiered a week ago, and a former contestant on the CBS reality series seems to think he would be running the game if he was a part of the cast.
Frankie Grande, the brother of Ariana Grande, previously competed on Big Brother 16, and is now opening up about how he would have performed in the game.
“Honestly, I think the reason why I’m not on Big Brother is because someone wanted somebody else to win,” Frankie explained to TooFab.
“Because if I was in that house. I would’ve won. No question. I would’ve dominated this entire season. I’m watching and I’m like, ‘Oh my God. I would’ve won.'”
He went on to note that when CBS started picking the cast for the current season, the world was in a state of unrest, with protests against police brutality and systemic racism,...

After months of teases, Big Brother: All-Stars hit the air Wednesday night.
Big Brother Season 22 Episode 1 played out completely live -- a first for a season premiere.
Shortly after the episode aired, however, fans were quick to point out something that irked them.
Julie Chen introduced the houseguests by gender, and in groups of four.
Janelle Pierzina, Kaysar Ridha, David Alexander, Daniele Donato, Keesha Smith, Enzo Palumbo, Ian Terry, Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel, Da’Vonne Rogers, Christmas Abbott, Bayleigh Dayton, Tyler Crispen, Kevin Campbell, Nicole Anthony, and Memphis Garrett were named the returning players.
Upon each group of four entering the game, they had to complete a maze with a ball on a board after identifying the area of the house a question relates to.
There could only be two winners in each group, so the maximum allowed was four women and four men.
When it came down to it, the men seemingly had it easy,...

“Big Brother” unveiled its “All-Stars” cast during Wednesday night’s two-hour live premiere. For the first time in its 20-year history, the show aired the live move-in of 16 returning houseguests from previous seasons.
Host Julie Chen Moonves greeted the cast in groups of four and explained the safety precautions they took to resume production. The cast kept their masks on and maintained a 12-feet distance from the unmasked host.
“All of this season’s houseguests have been individually quarantined for the past two weeks,” said Chen Moonves. “You’ve all been tested multiple times for Covid-19, as have I, and you are all clear to play this game.”
The cast immediately took their masks off upon entering the house, to compete in their first competition. They searched the set for a specific item displayed on the TV screen and solved a puzzle to secure a spot to participate in the next competition.

The third time will not be the charm for Paul Abrahamian.
After relentless rumors suggesting he would be on the cast for the upcoming All-Stars 2, Paul has now announced he will not be returning.
Abrahamian first competed on Season 18 of the CBS reality hit, coming in second to Nicole Franzel. He then returned for Season 19, where he made it to the final two once again, only to lose to Josh Martinez.
"The experience as a whole comes with a hefty amount of emotional and mental stress," Abrahamian wrote in a note via Twitter.
"I don’t think going from one stressful quarantine to another is a good idea. I miss life and I miss genuine human interaction."
He said that with both of his parents requiring surgery soon, he "can’t and won’t abandon my family during these difficult times."

Big Brother All-Stars Season 2 is happening!
Fans have been waiting for a second All-Stars season ever since the first one -- Big Brother Season 7 -- aired fourteen years ago.
To celebrate the great news, I put together a dream cast for the upcoming season. It includes past houseguests who dominated their individual seasons and others who fell short but were fan-favorites.
Nicole Anthony (Big Brother 21)
Nicole was robbed on her season. She wasn't a huge competitor, which was ultimately her downfall, but when she did win, everyone cheered (her Hoh win during the double eviction was epic).
Her social game was amazing, though, and she seemed to come alive towards the end of the season.
There's a reason she won America's Favorite and came in third place. Big Brother needs more likable houseguests who can actually make it far in the game.
Everyone loves an underdog, and Nicole was the underdog of her season.

So heartbreaking. Paulie Calafiore opened up about his past hardships in a candid new interview, revealing that he once contemplated suicide. The 29-year-old reality star found fame on season 18 of Big Brother before starring on Ex and the Beach, and he'll soon appear on The Challenge: Final Reckoning, but he's also faced no shortage of controversy since being exposed to the limelight. Paul discussed the good and bad experiences which have shaped the man he is today. “When I talk to the youth and when I talk to people who are survivors there’s always going to be that darkness from bad situations,” he said on the Challenge Mania podcast. “I’ve been at low points of my life where I’ve contemplated suicide, and it takes a really strong person to be able to come out and admit that.

Hey, fellow "Big Brother" fans. We're back at you with another pretty big story in regards to one of the former houseguests. It turns out that this former houseguest just got preggers within the last two and a half months. It's a very recent houseguest. Ok, ok. I'll go ahead and tell you who it is. It's none other than the intense fitness chick herself Christmas Abbot from this past season 19! For those of you who might not recall who she is, she's the super CrossFit athlete that finished in 3rd place during season 19 by riding houseguest Paul Abrahamian's coat tails the entire time. I mean she did whatever he told her to do along with everyone else during that season. I'm still shocked by it. It's also speculated that Christmas may have even developed a little crush on Paul at the time. Whether she did or didn't, that's...

During Big Brother 13, Daniele Donato commented on Brendon Villegas' return to the game after his eviction, saying, "We have a zombie in the house. We keep trying to kill it but it just won't die." Brendon is nothing compared to Victor Arroyo on Big Brother 18.
Victor made Big Brother history by returning to the game twice after being evicted. Victor's refusal to stay evicted is admirable for a number of reasons. Yet the sheer number of chances that Victor has had to get back into the game is ridiculous -- not to mention incredibly boring to watch. ...

On Sunday's episode of "Big Brother," the show's first transgender houseguest Audrey hit a major snag in her game. Fellow houseguests discovered that she was manipulating them, and those jilted gamers confronted her like an angry mob in front of the White House. It was astonishing, yet a completely typical day in the life of CBS' most perverse reality show. You have to wonder what makes this game of organized pettiness so fun. Better yet, you have to wonder what kind of viewership keeps the show's ratings at a consistent high. The fact is that "Big Brother" fans are completely distinct from other reality show fans, and they know it. Here's why. 1. "Big Brother" fans don't convince newcomers to watch. They're content being with their own kind. "Big Brother" fans are like soap opera devotees: They're a lone klatch who gossip among themselves about their obsession. "Big Brother" fans know...

When it comes to Big Brother, there's only one question that really matters: Who is your favorite houseguest of all-time? The answer tells me everything I need to know about you. If you say Rachel Reilly or Frankie Grande, we can't be friends. If you pick Dr. Will Kirby or Dan Gheesling, then you have my respect. And if you say Danielle Reyes or Daniele Donato, you're my new Bff.

Dick Donato, who won season 8 of Big Brother, revealed on Couples Therapy that he’s been living with HIV for years.
Dick Donato Is HIV-Positive
Donato, 51, found out he was HIV-positive while filming season 13 of Big Brother back in 2011 with his daughter Daniele Donato. The La-based bar manager shockingly left the show during filming for “personal reasons,” which Donato is now revealing was his positive HIV test result.
"They told me that something was wrong with my blood test," Donato told People magazine, referring to Big Brother’s producers. "They had done two HIV tests. One had come back positive and the other had come back negative.” Donato revealed that a third test came back positive, adding, “When they told me, I just went numb. They had a car take me from CBS to my mother's house. She was the first person I told."

It's tough enough for us Big Brother fans to wait a damn year between seasons without much news or action, but this should hold you over for a while: Season 13's Daniele Donato and Dominic Briones are engaged!
Personally, I don't much keep up on old houseguests during the off-season (save for maybe Dan Gheesling just because he's my fave), so I had no idea they were even dating, let alone serious! And even though Dani had a boyfriend during the show's airing, there was no denying the palpable chemistry between these two.
The soon-to-be newlyweds both competed on the 13th installment of the CBS reality show. Daniele first competed during season 8 where she came in second place to her dad Evil Dick.
Check out Dani and Dominic's gorgeous engagement photos! Congrats to the happy couple!
Talk to me Bb fans - did you know they were together?! Leave your well wishes below!

Big Brother 13 Evel Dick & Daughter Daniele talked bad game moves & more in this new video (below). Big Brother 13 Evel Dick Donato recently chatted with his sexy daughter Daniele Donato at the the after party last week as part of his funny Big Brother talk show "Dick At Nite." He really laid into Dani about trying to make her moves to early,and they sort of went back and forth over it. Daniele tried to explain she knew she made mistakes in the game. However, they both also thought if Kalia wouldn't have put Lawan up against Rachel,they still might have had a shot at that point. That also led into Evel Dick bashing Kalia some more about her awful Hoh game play.

Big Brother 13 Daniele Donato spotted having a blast at the wrap party last night. Last night, the big wrap party for Big Brother 13 took place at the Tru Hollywood Club in Hollywood,California,and one of my favorite players Daniele Donato showed up,looking cute as ever with a huge smile. Dani seemed very pleasant and upbeat as she gave an interview to Kevin from Big Brother 11 at one point. She said her arch nemesis Rachel Reilly did deserve to win the show even though she doesn't like her that much as a person. The whole BB13 cast showed up except Evel Dick who elected to party at a different location,and I can think of a million reasons why.

Alas, poor Jordan Lloyd: The 24-year-old winner of Big Brother 11 couldn’t pull off another triumph for her beloved Jeff Schroeder. That’s the only reason the North Carolina belle agreed to do the 13th season; otherwise she would have stayed home and watched other people spar and self-destruct on national TV.
“It’s really hard. It’s mentally draining in there,” Lloyd admitted to EW. “I did this for Jeff. I had already done it! I wanted to go to school! I really did think Jeff would go far and that maybe I would go out before him.

There's a lot of talk in the Big Brother house about past HGs and who played the game the best. What really annoys me about this week is that Adam and Jordan are getting yet another free ride and complaining about how Porsche and Kalia are just acting like puppets for Daniele and how Daniele wasn't that great to begin with.
I take serious issue with this because, as far as I'm concerned, Daniele Donato is the best Hg to ever play this game. Sure, she didn't win either of the two seasons she played, but I think there's more to playing the game than winning.

Daniele Donato was the first of a double eviction in the "Big Brother 13" house Thursday night. She tells Zap2it about her experiences (and keep in mind, she answered these without knowing the outcome of the rest of the night).
Are you glad you played "Big Brother" again?
"Words cannot express how thankful and how honored I am to have been given this opportunity. I have always said that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I have been given it twice."
Was this season better/worse/different than your first season?
"It was better, worse and different."
Do you regret turning on the Veterans at all?
"No. I didn't come into that house to be part of a dictatorship. I came to play my own game. If I would have stuck with the other four, I wouldn't have played the game that I came to play."

There were fireworks on last night’s double eviction episode of Big Brother. And there were fireworks today when Jessica Shaw and I spoke with Daniele Donato and Jeff Schroeder on the latest edition of the TVInsiders Podcast. First up, Daniele called in to talk about playing in a house full of people too afraid to make a move. Of course, her strongest words were reserved for Rachel, whom she describes as a “disgusting person” (among other choice things). Then it was Jeff’s turn, and the big fella — who admits to still being in a state of shock — laid right into Shelly,...

Big Brother 13 Porsche won Hoh last night week 8 As previously reported, my favorite Daniele Donato and that jerk Jeff were evicted from Big Brother 13 in a special double eviction episode last night. Now,according to Big Brother Network and the live feeds, Porsche won Hoh last night,shortly after the live show ended,so Porsche is on fire right now because she also won the Pov on the live show that help get Jeff out. Also, some crazy stuff went on in the house with sweet,little Jordan that revealed her true colors of being a bitch. She blew up at Shelly because she didn't vote for Jeff because,God forbid, somebody didn't vote their way,so they can get another paycheck. Jordan,just like Rachel, doesn't realize this is a game,and people ultimately play for themselves. Rachel also got back to her bitchy roots after trying to be calm for the past week.

Thursday's live double eviction on Big Brother 13 saw the two biggest competitors in the house, Daniele Donato and Jeff Schroeder, sent to the jury house. It was a rather stunning display of the inmates taking over the asylum and now the four remaining newbies are in control.
I realize that many fans are upset that their favorite HGs are now gone, but I have to respect the game move from the newbies. The truth is that if Daniele or Jeff made the finale, they easily would've won the entire game. They had to go in order for the others to have a shot at half a million dollars.

Daniele Donato and Jeff Schroeder have become the seventh and eighth houseguests to be eliminated from Big Brother's 13th season. 24-year-old college student Donato was nominated alongside Kalia Booker this week after being named as a replacement for former nominee Porsche Briggs, who was saved by the Power of Veto competition and removed from the chopping block when Head of Household Jeff Schneider won and elected to change his nominations. Three of five voting houseguests chose to eliminate Donato, with only Shelly Moore and Porsche Briggs attempting to save her. Speaking to host Julie Chen following her elimination, Donato admitted that she expected to be eliminated, saying: "I think that everybody is in this house to push Jeff and Jordan ahead. No one is willing to stand on their own. No one! Adam is incapable of playing his own game, that's it." Asked why she (more)...
