Big Brother 14 Rumors: Alumni to Return as Mentors?
June 26, 2012 |The Big Brother 14 rumor mill is in full spin mode and we have another possible ‘spoiler’ bit of gossip for you this morning. While I would personally rather not see any former alumni in the Big Brother 2012 season, this rumor offers up a way that CBS could bring back favorite old players, while still having all new players at the same time.

How is that? Well, the rumor is that CBS will be bringing some favorite Big Brother players from the past to serve as ‘mentors’ for the new players on Big Brother 14. The rumor allegedly comes from Missyae @TheGameSurvivor on Twitter. This could be a good indication this rumor might actually be true, as @TheGameSurvivor has provided a number of truthful Survivor spoilers in the past, and so they may indeed have some kind of inside scoop going on.
“Big Brother 14 to have ex players as ‘mentors’ this season. I will release 1 who turned them down and 1 who didnt in the next few days” (@TheGameSurvivor)
Another clue to this possibly being true could be the most recent Big Brother 14 commercial promo video that was just released, which shows 17 former HouseGuests in quick succession talking about lying, cheating, backstabbing and expecting the unexpected. We’ve already had the spoiler that there will be more HouseGuests this season than any previous year. Could it be that we will be having 17 new HouseGuests paired up with former Big Brother alumni, maybe even ones from the newest promo?
While, of course, this is still just a totally unconfirmed rumor, I could see how this could be a fun and very different twist for Big Brother 14. First off, it would be interesting to see how it was determined which newbies would be paired with which veteran mentor. Most fun would be some sort of competition where the newbies would have to battle it out to choose which mentor they wanted to have. That would be even more fun if some of the Big Brother 14 mentors were people NO ONE wanted to have.
I imagine that if this rumor is true about the Big Brother 2012 season, there would most likely not be a one-on-one ratio of newbies to mentors. Instead, they’d either have a team of newbies under each mentor, or only some of the newbies would somehow get a mentor, while the others had to go it alone. Either way, it could certainly prove to be a very interesting new dynamic to the game.
What do you think? Would you like this rumor to be true and have Big Brother alumni back in the house, not as players, but as mentors to a whole new crop of HouseGuests?

Sorry for the caps I’m just annoyed cuz this is getting A LOT OF ATTENTION AND ITS COMPLETELY BS! THIS RUMOR WAS COMPLETELY MADE UP BY YAKKITY YAKS unless thegamesurvivor stole the idea from whoever posted it in the beginning, secondly that twist would totally ruin big brother! I love you bigbroaccess it my most favorite fan site but you really disappointed me thinking that the twist would make big brother fun or intresting :/ i mean seriously?! mentors come on now that’s lame and freaking useless it would totally put the season to waste, they wouldn’t repeat something that was already done, and what will be the point of big brother all stars 2 if that happens! think about it?
Well, I maintain that it COULD be fun and interesting if done very, very well. But like you said, it probably is a bunch of BS. Still, isn’t part of the whole fun of Big Brother pre-season to gossip about all the rumors (good, bad, and ridiculuos) and speculate about the new season?
I guess your totally right <3 u Laura
lol, and good debate is also fun right? <3 u too!
that twist would ruin this season that is a horrible idea
I agree. We would just see the mentors’ past strategies used over again, while they hoped for different outcomes. The new people would just do whatever they were told (for the most part) b/c it was a veteran player telling them what to do.
The Idea is interesting, but I don’t see how this can work. If the former HG’s are living in the house with the playing HG’s, there is bound to be some drama and I could see where a claim can be made with the FCC that the show is rigged and therefore not actual reality like it is advertised as. If this is the twist I will watch like always but I will be very disappointed in Alison Grodner.
