Big Brother is one of the most popular reality tv shows in the world. There have been 26 seasons and each season is a must watch. One thing Big Brother doesn't do often though is bring players back. The last time we had returning players on the show was Big Brother 22 in 2020. We've also never had a Big Brother: 2nd Chances season. Survivor did this on Survivor: Cambodia and we saw Jeremy Collins and Kelley Wentworth become stars with the former winning Sole Survivor. I'd love to see who would win on this hypothetical season.

Original Season: Big Brother 17

Place: 3rd

Vanessa is one of my favorite players and one of the best players to never win the game. She completely ran the show on Big Brother 17 and would have won but Steve Moses won the final Head of Household competition and made the right decision by sending her to the jury. She would be a target upon her return but can probably still get to the end.

Original Season: Big Brother 26

Place: 11th

Tucker was America's Favorite Player last season. He came in and made big and bold moves and was taken out for it. It did show that he deserved another chance to play the game though. With a season like this and all these notable players I could see his strategy getting him far.

Jessica Nickson

Original Season: Big Brother 19

Place: 12th

Jess was apart of one of the messiest seasons of Big Brother. Big Brother 19 was a mess but Jessica deserves another chance. She went onto win The Amazing Race 30 with her husband, Cody Nickson, who she met on Big Brother 19. I'd love to see how she would play without Cody.

Monte Taylor

Original Season: Big Brother 24

Place: 2nd

Monte played a great game on Big Brother 24 and would have been a worthy winner. The problem was that he took the one person who deserved it more in Taylor Hale to the final 2 with him. Monte would be a favorite to win a 2nd chances season though.

Haleigh Broucher

Original Season: Big Brother 20

Place: 7th

Haleigh was on Big Brother 20 and was pretty smart but she was young and was outplayed by Tyler Crispen, Kaycee Clark and their alliance. I'd love to see how she would play again as she's older now and more mature. She's currently dating Oklahoma City Thunder Point Guard, Alex Caruso as well.

Original Season: Big Brother 20

Place: 6th

We need another member of Big Brother 20, don't we? Brett and Haleigh were friendly on the season together but were on different sides of the house. Brett has had more reality TV experience as he was on The Circle 5 on Netflix.

Kalia Booker King

Kalia

Original Season: Big Brother 13

Place: 5th

If you haven't seen Big Brother 13 I highly recommend going back and watching it. It was a battle back and forth between Kalia, Porsche Briggs, and Dani Briones (nee' Donato) versus Jordan Schroeder (nee' Lloyd), Jeff Schroeder, and the eventual winner of the season, Rachel Reilly Villegas. Kalia was so close to winning this season and deserves another chance. She currently works on films with Ryan Koogler (director of Black Panther and Creed) but hopefully she could take a summer off.

Derek Frazier

Original Season: Big Brother 23

Place: 2nd

Derek was a part of the legendary "Cookout" alliance that got to the final 6 and eventually crowned the first Black winner in Xavier Prather. Derek got to the end but received 0 votes to win. I don't know how he would do on a returning season but I'd still love to see it.

Libra Thompson

Original Season: Big Brother 10

Place: 9th

We need one player from the legendary Big Brother 10 cast. This season was a mess with almost all of the cast getting into screaming matches and fights. Libra was a huge part of the "Birthday Party Fight." If you don't know what I'm talking about please go back and watch it.

Ronnie Talbott

Original Season: Big Brother 11

Place: 10th

Ronnie is another old-school player and we need more of those. Ronnie caused a whole house fight in the middle of the night in the 2nd or 3rd week of the season. It was iconic and he deserves another chance to play. I can see him trying to lay low but being taken out early.

Reilly Smedley

Original Season: Big Brother 25

Place: 15th

Reilly is another player who played too hard too quick and was evicted for it. She was running the "younger persons" alliance versus the "older persons" alliance. She could play a Parvati Shallow type of game if given the chance. I'd also like to cast her enemy on this season.

Hisam Goueli

Original Season: Big Brother 25

Place: 11th

Hisam also came out of the gate strong. He took out Reilly Smedley and than was taken out right after her. It was a interesting rivalry to start Big Brother 25 and we deserve another chance to see them play together or against each other.

Elissa Reilly Slater

Original Season: Big Brother 15

Place: 6th

Big Brother will always cast a "Reilly Sister" when they can. Rachel won her 2nd chance season on Big Brother 13 so why can't Elissa win hers? Elissa was on the really controversial season of Big Brother 15 but she was able to get "America's Favorite Player." I'd like to see her play with good people.

Michael Bruner

Original Season: Big Brother 24

Place: 6th

Michael was a competition beast on Big Brother 24 and he was taken out because of it. Michael is a prime example of someone who deserves a second chance season. He probably would be a huge target in the beginning but I think he could work with Monte Taylor to get pretty far.

Tiffany Mitchell

Original Season: Big Brother 23

Place: 6th

Another "America's Favorite Player" would be casted on this season. We have Derek Frazier from "The Cookout" alliance but we need the person that created the alliance and the strategy. Tiffany would also be a target early but I'd love to see how she would play with Vanessa Rousso and could see them take over the game together.

Victor Arroyo III

Original Season: Big Brother 18

Place: 5th

Victor was a fan favorite on Big Brother 18. He won 2 redemption challenges to get back into the game. Victor has been on other reality TV shows since Big Brother 18. He was on The Challenge: Vendettas and The Amazing Race 31. Victor's best performance was on Big Brother though. He has since went on to marrying Big Brother 18 winner Nicole Franzel, now Franzel-Arroyo.
