BB16 is a polarizing season. I know it's often cited on this sub as being boring, lacking drama (outside of the Bomb Squad), and having a predictable winner.
In BB16's defense, I think the cast and the overall vibes were so good.
I remember feeling completely deflated after BB15 - to the point where I even considered giving up on the show altogether. The complete vibe shift in BB16 was such a breath of fresh air, and it honestly renewed my love for Big Brother.
I watched the live feeds that summer and I remember the houseguests constantly coming up with creative ways to entertain themselves. Between the Zankie dance-offs and the saboteur antics, there was something fun happening each day.
I also absolutely adored Donny and Zach. I actually remember initially disliking Zach after the premiere because he talked about wanting to shake up the house and cause chaos. After the ugliness of BB15, the last thing I wanted was another ugly drama-filled season. Little did I know that Zach would end up being one of my favorite parts of BB16. Everything about him was so ridiculous and lighthearted, and I genuinely think his brand of chaos brought the season to life. To this day, he's still my favorite BB houseguest of all time.
Maybe it's partly nostalgia, since I had just started college that summer, but so many of the houseguests reminded me of my own friends. They were just a bunch of people being goofy, having fun, and enjoying each other's company.
Does anyone else remember BB16 this fondly?
