While George was an obvious choice to get back in, was he really the only one from the first season interested in doing it again? I know the relationship between Josh and Erika probably eliminated him, and Jamie has a good job as a news reporter in Seattle, but what about Brit? And where is Eddie (I'd love to see him taking on Will, Boogie, and Jase)? And I can't believe Mega wouldn't have jumped at another chance regardless of what silly motivation he had to do so.

Eddie was courted by Arnie & CBS, but declined. Josh Souza is too busy with his career in real estate in Florida. Curtis has long since left BB behind for the law and marriage. Brittany supposedly wants nothing to do with BB. I doubt any of the others from season 1 were ever seriously considered for All Stars.

Season 1 was boring, that's why. They voted out all the interesting people, so it became a snooze-fest and all about what color Brit's hair would be next. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . . . I would've loved to see Pugita, though!

I wonder why Eddie said no? Of course, no one knows what has become of him since the show. Don't think I'd like to see Mega back, though I do admit it would be interesting to see him match wits with Dr. Evil.

BB1 was interesting, not boring. i enjoyed it because it was a social experiment with REAL people, not wanna-be stars. it showed the problems that can occur when strangers are forced to form a community and interact with one another. BB's 2-7 are just another reality TV show. fun? maybe, but with no more redeeming value than extra or entertainment tonight.

BB1 also had the fans voting for who got evicted. That's the way they play it in the UK too and it's hugely popular over there. Front page on the Sun everyday. I loved their challenges, especially the domino set up. Watching 64 pugs run around the back yard was one of my fave moments from Big Brother of any season.

Lafatme, I totally agree. I have always said, why can't we have real people on this show. It would be sooo much more interesting than people posing around and trying to get a career out of it.

I think the problem was that BB1 was so long ago that these people for the most part have moved on with their life. Add that to the fact that they were real people and not, for the most part, just looking for face time and I just don't think they were interested. I also wonder if they weren't interested because of what the show has evolved into.

RE: Jamie's news job Actually, Jamie is on the news in Yakima, WA, not Seattle. And it is the VERY early morning news that she is on. Good job? Well...for Yakima. But in general, I would say it is a mediocre job.

Jaime was one of the biggest wannabe's on the whole series. Remember when she chose to meet with a Hollywood producer for 5 minutes, rather than getting to see her own mom? She thought BB was a step to a career in show business. Not unlike many of her succeeding castmates.

BB1 was my very favorite. I loved Curtis and his Cuttisms. So smart and funny. Someone said he's married! Any news? Don't you remember how funny he and Britt were with their silly talk? And who can forget the Trinitron dance. Go BB1 !!

As to Jamie, last year I heard she went to Rome to report on the Pope's passing and the election of the new one.

Joker's did an interview with BB1's Josh. He says even if asked he would have not done All-Stars and gives reasons why he wasn't asked anyway. Shame really as I know he's been the biggest study of the game out of past players. http://www.jokersupdates.com/jarticles/article.php?article=902

I have to say I did not like S1 BB because they didn't seem real. I felt like they were always trying to put on a good face because they knew the audience would vote them out if they said what they were really thinking. I missed the first few weeks of S1 but thats how it came across to me. Although I am tired of seeing models posing and trying to be a character of some sort. Would like to see normal folks. I think most of the country can relate to the normal average looking people of varying ages rather than self absorbed model types.
