Five ofBig Brotherstwenty-two seasons have featured this twist, whichfundamentally gives the vets unfair advantages over the newbies.
In BB11, the houseguests played the game in four cliques.
In addition to the four new duos, three dynamic or veteran duos entered the house.

Will a ‘Big Brother’ romance spark or fade?
BB18 brought back four returning players to compete against twelve newbies.

Like BB11 and BB14, the players were split into teams with one vet on each team.
Finally in BB19,Paul Abrahamianreturned as the sole returning houseguest.
When Paul entered the house, he was given immunity bracelets to give to other houseguests of his choosing.

Its no surprise he made it to the final two for the second time.
First, they have played the game before, and have learnedwhich strategies work and which don’t.
Im hoping thatBig Brotherhas finally gotten the memo that mixing new and returning players in the house is disastrous.
They need to choose one or the other; a full all-star cast, or a brand-new one.
