The Big Brother house has always been like high school, but this season the producers have made it official by dividing the cast up into four teams, each one representing a different adolescent clique: Athletes, Popular, Brains, and Offbeat. (What, no “Skanks”? I guess that clique would have ended up being too crowded.) But how does this twist compare to past BB curveballs like “The Ex Factor” and “America’s Player”? Today on Must List Live!, Dalton Ross and I debate Big Brother: The Breakfast Club Edition, and give our early takes on the houseguests, like HOH Jessie: Is this meathead the best alumnus the show could come up with? Plus, our outspoken special guest (and favorite crank) Courtney Yates from Survivor: China stops by to give her take on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and the summer-blockbuster season. Hint to Shia LaBeouf: You may want to skip this one if you’re the sensitive type.

It would be a semi-cool twist if they made the outgoing HOH join the clique that was just voted off. But that would be too clever for this show.
OMG, the Skanks clique — sooooooooo many possibilities for alumni returning there!
Whatever gets Jessie off the screen ASAP is fine with me.
Brian, Jessica, “Cowboy” and Jesse? Really, Big Brother? Could you have picked 4 people that were any less deserving/likeable to put back in the house? And to top things off, the worst of the 4 wins. Between that little bit of hell, and the coversations I’ve seen so far on Big Brother After Dark, this cast has nearly the same sleaze factor as BB9’s cast.
And the “If someone in your clique is HOH, no one in your clique can be nominated” twist is dumb. People in alliances never nominate people in their group, anyway.
Oh my god, Courtney is as wonderfully sarcastic as ever! I was actually cracking up during her segment. Please make sure to have her back again.

Josh…Dalton…I wasn’t sure I could stomach another season of BB, but just knowing you two are going to be discussing it each week is going to make it all worth while. You just might have been my favorite part of Survivor last season, and that’s saying a lot. I LOVE Survivor! And yes – I hate myself for even watching BB, but here I am again.
BB is truly a GUILTY PLEASURE. A LOUSY show with STUPID contestants doing LAME stunts. It’s hideous but I can’t look away! And the return of the ultimate meathead makes it all the better.
p.s. COURTNEY STINKS!!!
I wish they would get rid of Jessie already. I don’t think it’s right for the producers to put Jessie in there when they know that Casey and Jessie knew each other before they even went into the house. I won’t even be watching BB just following on the Net until Jessie is gone. I can’t stand him. When he made the announcement about how his “guns” were bigger and his weight being up, he failed to mention that he had also come out of the closet last year. Oops how did he forget that little tidbit?
Jesse is an egotistical ahole! I hope one of the two nominees get POV use it on themselves and puts Jesse up! In an ideal world!!!
Lucy,even if one of the two nominees were to win to Veto and take themselves off, HOH has to pick the replacement person for eviction.
I have Showtime and watched some of Big Brother after dark, so I got interested in the show now. I like the populars, Jordan especially and Jeff. Watched a few seasons ago with “Evil Dick”and boy, I wished they could have brought him back!!!
Courtney doesn’t know WTF she’s talking about. Transformers 2 was horrible, but Star Trek was WONDERFUL. Who the hell is she, anyway?! And, why in the world did EW even think to video this trick’s opinion?!
thanks, Melissa, I was getting carried away on wishful thinking!
It may be an unpopular opinion, but I am happy to see Jessie again. As someone that is a fan of Big Brother After Dark on Showtime 2, Jessie does seemed to have come into the new season with a much humbler attitude. It seems like the video editors of the show have something against him, or maybe they just need a villain.
I LOVE Jeff and all his cussing. Love his midwest accent. But I hate his team. He has a bunch of meatheads and roid ragers on his team. And Natalie is so far up Jesse’s behind you can smell the steroid on her breath. Lydia is sickening and Ronnie’s butt needs to calm down. Go Jeff and Jordan.
1. Get rid of Jesse…he is the most self absorbed moron I have ever seen. How can he not see the Russell thinks he is HOH and running the house?
2. Get rid of the cliques and even the playing field and let them form their own alliances…that is what makes the show interesting to watch…not having Big Brother form them. I have watched this show foreve and I HATE this idea.
Every year of Big Brother is good, but there will never be another Big Brother as good as the one with Evil Dick on it…that season was the ultimate season!!
MOST BORING BIG BROTHER CAST EVER? For sure are in this season. What happened? Not an interesting or unique one in the bunch. I agree…get Jessie out! What an egomaniac.
OH MY GOD! Make her go away! Courtney’s smug celebration of her own ignorance is just excruciating. (Did you figure that since BB brought back an irritant, you should do the same? If so, can we vote her out? NOW?)
I also think they could have come up with someone more interesting and totally into himself Jesse to return to the show. The cliques probably are not a good idea. You are not able to see each person play for themselves and what kind of alliances they may come up with. A person playing the game well will be hindered by being in a group. It doesn’t keep the playing field very even from the start. Maybe thats what they want. It seems BB can control who the winner will be somewhat. I would rather see the players have to figure out their strageties. That is what makes the show so interesting. I so far have not been real in to watching it this year and have always loved the show in the past.
is jesse dumber than a door or what ???
Wow Chenbot, that would be an extremely cool twist! Are you reading this, producers of BB? The outgoing HOH joins the clique of the person that was voted off! Best twist ever.
LOVE Courtney. More, please!
Love Courtney. Don’t agree with her about Star Trek but I sure do about Shia the action star. He’s actually a very good actor. It would be nice to see him in a movie where acting actually mattered.
Wow, Courtney seems slightly brain dead. Please don’t feature her on the site again.
and why is some bottle blonde calling someone else a ‘target angelina jolie’?
This cast is full of turds. Seriously? Even the “brains” are dumb as posts. How do your root for any of these insipid troglodytes. Muscles and fake boobs. I can’t understand girls who get implants and act like they worked for it. Get a clue. I don’t mind the “clique” thing except it seems like it was an afterthought post casting as it seems some of the cliques (brains and off beats)are so random. If you are doing something like this, cast really smart people for the brains team, cast real characters for the offbeat team, etc. Also, who ever called them the off beats in school?
It’s time for another All-Stars…please bring back: Dr.Will, Janelle, Chicken George, Marcellus, Jack, Jun, Erika, Kaysar, Howie, EvilDick, Daniele, Sheila, Ryan, James, Libra, Dan & Memphis. That would be a SPECTACULAR house!
Um, yeah. OK. I don’t know if the girl who is built like a 12 year old boy and seems to have some form of adult acene needs to be handing out judgment calls on people’s looks.
And sorry Survivor chick, if you saw Shia in a club you would be willing to get on your knees in the bathroom to give him a bj. So let’s not be pretending that you are bating in the Majors yet where you can be talking about the other players. Just keep cleaning up their chaw stains and hoping for the money to get those implants so you can stop sucking TV executives wangs to get one more chance at fame.
