'Big Brother 18' News: Rachel Reilly, Derrick Levasseur & More Speculate On Potential All Stars [VIDEO]
Amid rumors that Big Brother 18 may feature returning players, four fan favorites are weighing in on who they think might be asked.
There hasn't been an official announcement on the make-up of the Big Brother 18 cast, so fans are speculating about whether this is an all-star season, half returnees/half newbies or all newbies as usual.
Big Brother standouts Danielle Reyes and Jason Roy and winners Derrick Levasseur and Rachel Reilly spoke on which veterans they'd like to see return to the house in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Reilly and Roy both suggested Vanessa Rousso, the third place finisher from Big Brother 17 who dominated much of the game.
"She's one of those people that was playing because she had to save herself," said Reilly. "She would have to change her strategy completely."
"Oh, there's obviously really, really smart players, especially in recent years. People like Derrick and Vanessa have really stepped things up, almost to a whole other level than it was years ago," Roy said.
Reilly and Levasseur also suggested Frank Eudy, who played in Big Brother 14 and was granted the fan favorite award.
Reyes suggested bringing back three winners from the show's early years, Dr. Will Kirby, Lisa Donahue and Jun Song.
Other suggestions included Donny Thompson (the season 16 fan favorite), Zach Rance, Nicole Franzel, Amanda Zuckerman, Da'Vonne Rogers, Daniele Donato and Danielle Murphree.
All four interviewees said they would like seeing some veterans play the game again, while Reilly suggested that she's actually heard about the concept they're doing this season.
"I've heard there's going to be some returning houseguests. It's going to be some sort of returning players versus new players, not as a coach and not what we did in season 13 where we were duos," she said. "There might be 30 people that compete to get in so it might be a season where you have to really want it to be able to stay in the game. I think they're going to have a twist where you have to give stuff up or do a competition and they're going to make you really want it."
It remains to be seen what will go down on Big Brother this summer. The Big Brother 18 premiere airs Wednesday, June 22 on CBS.
