I'm inundated with these updates left and right so here's my take on the cast:
Colin & Christie (Team Charla & Mirna's Enemies): Wow... a team from one of my all-time favorite seasons! I would never have expected these two to show back up on my TV screen. Colin looks nearly unrecognizable now with his shaved head and Christie looks gorgeous as ever!
I'm excited for these two! They will surely do fine until Colin flips out at another taxi driver on the way to the airport. Hope the Philippines and Tanzania are visited again this season. Their ox may be broken, but they still can't break from my memories.
Art & JJ (Team Exposed the Kindergarten Teachers): Can we just be glad Rachel & Dave won 1-1/2 times over these two knuckleheads in the finale?
Becca & Floyd (TEAM FUN!): LOVE these two! I'm so glad Floyd and Becca are getting another shot at this after the basket bikes devastation in Vietnam. I loved their charisma and energy throughout season 29 and Becca solely convinced me through the screen to go rock-climbing in Lake Como. I had the time of my life seeing the Como region in a brand new perspective thanks to these two getting me familiar with the term belaying and their positive vibes and regained composure even during their sudden stumbles! I treasure these two like siblings. Please convince Phil to beatbox with y'all at the Pit Stop some time this season!
Leo & Jamal (The Afghanimals): I didn't find them particularly entertaining in either 23 or the can-we-not-talk-about-this-one so I have no clue why they are brought back again. Please depart from the Pit Stop in last by choice again if you aren't eliminated first.
Tyler & Korey (The YouTube/Instagram Season): I genuinely can't remember anything they did or said in season 28. Sorry. I was mostly rooting for Sheri & Cole in an otherwise subpar season.
I rarely ever watch Big Brother, and that's just to kill time when I'm VERY bored, but I do recognize Janelle when all that over-the-top clique bullying was what everyone was chatting about for weeks on ends... And I do quite clearly remember watching season 12 for several weeks so Britney is in my most recent memory. Wish Brit got paired with Monet
. The chemistry she and Monet had was phenomenal! I miss the funny, catty teams from seasons back and they quickly remind me of them. And speaking upon this drama.... Rachel Reilly... Elise & Bertram, you done gone bonkers.
I do remember Elissa from season 15 - the season I also clearly remember watching out of curiosity and seeing such a despicable group of people spewing nasty toward the women of color in the house. Turned me off from Big Brother once and for all. I guess it's a decent compensation for what Elissa had to deal with. Wish it had been her and Candice or Helen who was chosen to be on the race. And I seriously have no idea who Nicole & Victor are.
And Survivor! Haven't watched in a while, but Corinne and Eliza.... wow... I haven't seen them since Gabon and Micronesia and they haven't aged since. Didn't even know Corinne was in a second season. And tye-dye Santa, sigh, memories! And I have no clue who Chris & Bret are.
