‘Big Brother 15’ speculation: Dr. Will, Dan Gheesling’s comments spur new debate
Is it too early for “Big Brother” to have another All-Star season? Probably so, especially since we have had three out of the past four seasons contain at least one person from another season. Personally, we would like to see the show take a season or two off to explore some other ideas with newbies … but eventually, we do think that they are going to have to bring back some of their best players again.
This effectively does bring us back to Dr. Will Kirby’s recent suggestion that he and Dan Gheesling’s should face off in some sort of “clash of the titans” season. We still don’t know how serious he actually is about it, but we know he has an ego and probably does not appreciate the idea of anyone other than him being called the best player of all time. So with that, we’ve come up with our list (probably the last one of the year, since there are only so many of these we can do) about the 14 players who would be best suited for a “legends” season. It doesn’t matter in this case how many times they’ve appeared; they just need to come back regardless. Yes, there are some obvious alliances in here … but they were during All-Stars, too.
Dr. Will Kirby (seasons 2, 7) – As we said, this one is a given. He and Dan are easily the two best players ever, and their reputations could be on the line here.
Dan Gheesling (seasons 10, 14) – Easily, the best player ever of the post-All Stars era. Had he not swore on so many things, he may have been the only two-time winner.
Evel Dick Donato (seasons 8, 13) – Ignore what happened to him in season 13, and just remember how notorious he is for season 8.
Jeff Schroeder (seasons 11, 13) – Big Jeff’s not the best player by any means, but you need someone that casual fans are going o want to root for.
Matt Hoffman (season 12) – A great player ruined by one stupid move to not break up the Brigade. We really just like the idea of having him in the same season as Dan, Dick, and Dr. Will.
Mike “Boogie” Malin (season 2, 7, 14) – Yes, there is an obvious alliance in here … shouldn’t this make him and will even more of a target? Like Janelle, he would be a four-time player.
Ian Terry (season 14) – He’s the reigning champ, so why not? This is also more evidence that most of the great men come from some of the later seasons of the show.
Danielle Reyes (seasons 3, 7) – Still in our minds the best player to never win this game. She could come back and still do really well.
Jun Song (season 4) – It will probably never happen, but we can dream.
Janelle Pierzina (seasons 6, 7, 14) – Janelle would be the only female four-time player, but you cannot dismiss the fact that she is probably the most popular woman in “Big Brother” history.
Daniele Donato (seasons 8, 13) – She was in many ways the female version of Matt during season 13, since she just made one poor move that ended up hurting her game in a big way. With that being said, she is clearly the endurance queen!
Jordan Lloyd (seasons 11, 13) – You may say that she didn’t really deserve to win season 11, but we see her as one of the best social players in the history of the show. Isn’t it great to have a strategy of not being a threat so much that you become a threat?
Rachel Reilly (seasons 12, 13) – She may not be loved by everyone, but you can’t argue with her passion … or the fact that she ended up winning the entire game last year.
Shelly Moore (season 13) – Yes, Shelly made people furious, and this is a lot of season 13 stars on one season. But season 13 really was a strong one for female players, and we want to see if Shelly can work the same game again.
In your mind, who are the 14 greatest “Big Brother” legends out there? We want to hear your list below! If you want to see what we think should change before the start of the new season, be sure to head over to the link here.

I think that dan and will should definatly come back. Dick was a good player but not so fun to look at. I think ian would fit right in and also Frank the Tank who fought hard every week to stay in the game for as long as he could. Boogie definatley. Jenelle i dont really no. she didnt do as well this past season so maybe she is at her peak. I would love for britney to come back as well. I know there are a lot of players from bb 14 but u got to hand it to them, they all did very well.

way too much of season 13. Rachel is friends with 10 of these people… who would she nominate? Would have to be Jun and Danielle R.

Boogie needs his two biggest allies Frank and Dr.Will.

I really think there are enough people who want to play that you don’t need to bring back past players. Boring!! Maybe you CBS should give some thought to changing the format. Let the TV audience nominate for evictions and the houseguests evict. Do away with the HOH and do more compititions for rewards. The show is losing it’s appeal.

Dan, Danielle Reyes and Will. Jordan isn’t a titan neither is Jeff, though I think he should be in there. …and yeah, why not throw Britney in there if she’s willing. I don’t know about any of the rest. Hey…I’d like to see Russell Hantz in that mix if something like that was his cup of tea (maybe not). I know he’s not a big brother alum but if things went right, thing about the season BB would have, however, it may be a case of too many big egos in one spot. Houseguests may be leaving in body bags.

I agree that Boogie shouldn’t be able to come in with Dr Will if Memphis isn’t invited as the other half of the Renegades with Dan. Plus, I can’t stand Boogie and he’s really nothing without Dr. Will. I love Janelle, Jeff and Rachel all coming back as well as Danielle Reyes. I could live without seeing Frank again but Ian definitely would have to be invited. I do think these All-Stars would have him for lunch, though. Then there’s Daniele and Dick Donato. We’d be getting into a duo season if we kept this up and I’d really like to see Daniele have another shot where she has to work with Vets and can’t play the “I like the newbies better” card. I don’t have any desire to see Dick again. Shelley is a question mark and Jordan is loveable but not someone I think deserves to be called a “Titan.” Either way, I’d love to see a Dan vs Dr Will contest first and foremost.

if ur gonna throw Mike Boogie in the mix then i think its only fair that memphis joins the party and his former renagade buddy Dan. unless you wanna see a two on one with dr wil and mike boogie targeting dan right off the bat.
also. jordan and rachel. i could pass on seen them ever again. jordan especially considering if jeff is in there you can pretty much call this a “double trouble” season because everyone would have a partner already lined up on there side.
its best to just have individual players joining the game and fighting amongst themselves. like dr wil coming alone. dan coming alone. janelle obviously is friends with both of dan and dr wil so it makes it even. same goes with dani donato. i wouldnt mind seen her but if dick is in the game then she could stay home in vise verse.

Will remains my favorite, Dan may have a misty boy charm that reeks of Catholic choir boy meets evangelical canned speech used car salesman..Will on the other hand you can’t decide if you want to hate home or take him to bed..he is contagious, charming and mature….the fact we compare these two in any way is laughable. Janelle seems tired and totally disinterested, Dick is simply disgusting, his daughter, no thanks…Jun yes! Jeff sure why not! Definitely he new charmer southern boy Frank (loved him). Would love to see Brit again with her big can of ketchup and anti mist spray, Matt yes! Give Ian a few years! Howie would be fun and please no Jesse….

Boogie would be another 4 time player being season 7 & 14 like Janelle. I would suggest taking Shelley out and putting in Frank for another casual fan favorite.

Boogie has been on three seasons, not just one.”
And not including Frank is such a GOOD THING. I’d let Ian and the Hammock have time off as well.
