The biggest romance to come out of Big Brother 15 was undoubtedly McCranda, sorry Judd The Studd, but now in an open letter McCrae released last week he says his relationship with Amanda was driven by his desire to get ahead in the game.

McCranda publicly announced their split the other month which initially appeared to be an amicable situation before an outburst between when McCrae didn’t include Amanda on a quick trip through Florida with Judd.

Now the pair is back in the Twitter spotlight with McCrae releasing a lengthy and very personal apology letter aimed at his former girlfriend. In it McCrae admits regret for placing money over love when he became a showmance with Amanda in a move he claims was aimed to boost his position in the game.

I now realize that I sacraficed [sic] one dream for the possibility of money, and I’ve never made such an awful decision. I threw away everything we ever had for the chance to win money.

People ask me about my biggest regret in the game and I always answer some game related answer about I shoulda [sic] did this or I shoulda [sic] did that. What I always want to tell them though is that I regret throwing away the love I had with you, just to try to better myself in the game.

McCrae goes on to describe talking with the Big Brother in-house therapist and how she assessed his remorse and regret over what he was doing with Amanda while still having feelings for someone back home. You can read the full letter here on TwitLonger.

Of course that didn’t go over particularly well with Amanda (who could blame her?). She announced “that was the letter that ended us. Thank you for sharing it with the world.”

It sounds like we can officially close the chapter on McCranda in the Big Brother book. Now who is ready for some BB16 action?! The new season is almost here!

Over the weekend former Big Brother HouseGuests Judd Daugherty, Jessie Kowalski, Jeremy McGuire, GinaMarie Zimmerman, and Aaryn Gries came together in Texas for some fun in the sun. Looks like the BB15 gang was off on adventures playing a game, doing some day drinking (and night drinking), and even some fire walking across the bonfire. Naturally.

The HGs were definitely having a fun time together and didn’t have to wait on Big Brother for a booze delivery of mismatched beer cans. One of the funnier bits shared was Jeremy and Aaryn posing with a bottle of wine and the caption of Amanda’s “check their teeth” comment.

Juddsie fans will be excited as well to see their reunion which included cuddling and oh my, even a kiss between Judd and Jessie.

Whatever else went on that weekend it sure left these former HGs exhausted as the shared pictures trailed off and they headed back to the airport.

We’re closing in on finding the next batch of Big Brother 16 cast members so get your application in this week before the deadline arrives or get to an audition!

Update: Lucky you if you were late because Kassting has extended the app deadline to April 25, 2014!

There is just one week left for you to submit your Big Brother 16 application online before the official submission site closes its doors to new applicants!

With the June 25, 2014 start date for BB16 approaching quickly the casting team is moving just as fast to pull together this season’s houseguests.

If you want to be part of the Big Brother 16 cast then you need to submit your application online before the April 4, 2014 deadline or attend one of the scheduled open-call casting events.

All #BB16 hopefuls, u have 8 days to do ur on line submission. Deadline April 4. bigbrothercasting.tv Don't say I didn't warn u! #noregrets

Readers have asked if casting events after April 4th would still count since that’s the online deadline. Yes, of course, they wouldn’t be holding open-call events if they weren’t able to cast those applicants.

Join us on Facebook, Twitter, and by Email to receive BB16 season updates.

BB Hopefuls often wonder which way is better: online or in-person? It’s all about personal preference. BB12′s Matt Hoffman wrote an extensive guide on getting cast and he highly recommends doing the online approach so you have complete control over your application video. Meanwhile last season’s HGs Andy Herren and Helen Kim were both cast after attending the Chicago open-call. So both methods can be very successful, but do not do both. Pick one or the other.

There is no need to submit an online application and attend a Big Brother casting event. Nor should you attend multiple events or submit several online applications. You run the risk of annoying the casting team and that’s probably not going to help your chances.

Best of luck to everyone who applies for Big Brother 16! We can’t wait to meet this season’s cast when the series returns for another early premiere on CBS!

Judd Daugherty caught up with fellow Big Brother HGs Helen Fitzpatrick and Matt Hoffman in a trip to Chicago this week for a chance steal Andy Herren’s half-million dollar prize money. Or at least that’s what we think Judd was up to in his first-ever trip to the Windy City.

Before you say it, we know, we know. “Who cares?” Well in case you do we’ve collected up pictures shared by Judd, Helen, and Andy in their trip around town including some drinking with friends, catching up with one of our favs, Matt Hoffman, and even taking in a little cultural development at the art museum.

Speaking of the art museum, it’s hard not to love their recreation of the Ferris Bueller artwork pose that they put together. Check out all their pictures below and then get ready for a new batch of Big Brother 16 Houseguests as the BB16 casting events finally ramp up this weekend!

The Big Brother alumni would be a pretty cool club to join (ahem, you have applied for Big Brother 16, right?) what with seeing past seasons mingle and mix throughout the year. Last week Big Brother 15′s Amanda Zuckerman and Big Brother 8′s winner Evel Dick caught up in Florida for a Survivor viewing party.

They weren’t alone though as BB14′s Kara Monaco and BBEverySeason’s Jessie Godderz were along for the event as was Hayden Moss’s girlfriend Kat Edorsson of Survivor. Now that’s a wide spectrum of Big Brother HGs all in one place!

Amanda and Evel Dick have been hanging out and having a good time elsewhere too with a trip to see Jessie performing for Impact Wrestling. Of course that opportunity lead to one of Amanda’s other favorite past times, antagonizing online followers by joking she was there with her “new boyfriend” Evel Dick. I think it’s safe to say this was another joke, but you can decide on that one. Check out all their pics below!

Last night on Big Brother Canada we saw BB15′s Judd Daughtery make a surprise appearance when he got to pose a question to the three Secret HGs waiting for a chance to enter the game.

Judd’s question asked Allison, Scott, and Nate to explain which two BBCAN2 HGs they’d target for eviction if they went in to the game right then. It was a smart question and got the HGs thinking on what they’d do.

Sadly it was not an in-person visit to the house like we saw last season when Dan Gheesling spent a weekend in the house, but this was still a fun and unexpected surprise. Congrats to Judd on making the cut for an appearance last night.

Check out the pics below of Judd’s “visit” to the Secret HGs and then join us on our Big Brother Canada fansite!
