[anna_is_macabre]

"Rachel Reilly, Derrick Levasseur, Paul Abrahamian, Jason Roy, Elissa Reilly Slater, Morgan Willett, Zach Rance, Audrey Middleton, Michelle Meyer, Paulie Calafiore and Natalie Negrotti (+ Kevin Martin) talk showmances, predict what the newest cast of characters will look like and weigh in on if and when they'll be walking back through the Big Brother doors."

Article Highlights:

What were some of your favorite and least favorite aspects of season 18?

• Kevin Martin: My least favorite is that there were a lot of buyback competitions. If you get eliminated from Big Brother once, [it should be] good game, thanks for coming. I like seasons that keep it pure without the twists. Often twists can stifle game play.
• Michelle Meyer: My least favorite aspect was having the vets return! (Laughs.) It was a major disadvantage for us strategically and game-play-wise. And for experience in the game they kind of ruined it. They told us what to expect and it took away the unpredictability of it.

Did having former players Nicole Franzel, James Huling, Da'Vonne Rogers and Frank Eudy return last season work in terms of what they brought for game play and entertainment?

• Paul Abrahamian: When certain castmembers get called back, they get this overwhelming sense of entitlement and think that they're this Big Brother guru. They come back with even more of a chip on their shoulder and it makes their game terrible. That's what I saw personally with a few of them. They had other intentions other than just playing the game.

Zach, were you asked to return for season 18?

• Rance: No comment!

Do you think players from BBOTT will be brought back for season 19?

• Roy: If it's all new people and a few OTT people, maybe those OTT people will realize how hard it is to be the one returnee with a bunch of newbies! This is where the internet might break, but I would bring Shelby back. I don't want to live with her again, but she really is good TV. As much as she was my arch-nemesis, I watched the episodes back and I chuckled at her.

If it is an all-new cast, what types of players do you want to see?

• Calafiore: Hopefully they have a more mature cast. Mine was immature as hell. I just want them to be real. I want them to have a touch of savageness to them and realize they are playing a game.

In season 18 there were a few relationships that were described by fans as fake showmances. Will we see many fake showmances in season 19?

• Negrotti: Are you saying that I was in a fake showmance [with James Huling]? People are very shallow and wanted to judge it. I genuinely cared for this person with all of my heart and it's sad people say it wasn't true because we look different and come from different backgrounds.

What have you heard so far about season 19?

• Middleton: I leave for sequester tomorrow.

Do you think the following season, Big Brother 20, will be an all-stars season? Would you come back and who would you want to play with?

• Slater: I would want to play with Rachel, Zach, Frankie, Danielle Murphree, Janelle, Ian Terry, Dan Gheesling, but I don't know if Dan would ever go back on. No offense, but I wouldn't want to play with anybody from my season. (Laughs.) Especially because recently Amanda asked me to use my wedding veil for her wedding and I sent her two of my wedding veils and she didn't even invite me to her wedding! Why would you ask me to use my wedding veils and then not invite me to your wedding? How messed up is that? (Laughs.)
