Big Brother legend James Rhine thinks that future BB23 houseguests should delete their Twitter accounts before they even apply to be on the show. It was 2005 when James competed on Big Brother 6, and the world was a very different place back then. There weren't social media profiles like we now have, and people hadn't spent years building an online archive of their daily feelings and opinions. As a very popular BB6 player, James was then brought back to compete on BB7, the show's first-ever All-Stars season.
James Rhine hasn't been back on Big Brother ever since, but he is still well-regarded as one of the best All-Stars that the series has ever featured. In his personal life, James got married to Stephany Tornincasa in 2018, and the couple welcomed a son, Tristan James, in 2020. But despite being a busy dad, James always finds time to comment on ongoing Big Brother seasons and related events. Last year, he was one of the most active alumni to share his viewpoints on Big Brother 22: All-Stars.
Now, James Rhine is sharing some valuable advice with the people who are applying to be on the upcoming Big Brother 23 season. In a tweet (included below), James advised BB23 hopefuls to delete their Twitter accounts before they even proceed to apply for the show. James didn't provide much context about what he meant, but one can infer that he is just making reference to all the Big Brother players who were dragged by the fans for their old social media posts. Some of those posts can be problematic, while others are just plain embarrassing.
As of this writing, new casting director Jesse Tannenbaum is watching Big Brother 23 audition tapes and putting together what will become the season's lineup of houseguests. After BB22, CBS committed to casting 50% BIPOC individuals on all of its reality shows moving forward. The fans largely celebrated this move, and they are also excited about what a new casting director like Jesse can do for Big Brother. Alas, BB23 is scheduled to premiere during the summer of 2021, so there's still some time to go until the new cast is unveiled.
As recently as 2021, Big Brother Canada disqualified a cast member after the fans found that person's old posts containing racist and homophobic messages. Big Brother fans hope that people like that don't get cast on the show, but even if a contestant's posts are not problematic, they could still be pretty embarrassing for players with newfound fame.
