Welp, Secret’s Out I Guess
The real cast of BB24 has been released, which means the pre-season-fake-spoiler-fun must come to an end (for now at least).
In honour of the actual cast reveal, I’m gonna share some behind the scenes content, revealing my thought process while creating these fake spoilers.
The Cast
(Ngl, I got quite attached to this cast.)
People who almost made the cut:
TOP: Alice (alt 1), Alice (alt 2)
BOTTOM: Gemma, James (another J, LOL), Marco
I was also considering making Garrett, the guy who was replaced by Christian last year, a thing, but I didn’t wanna do the digging LOL. Maybe next year, Garrett.
The alternates were removed due to a lack thereof picture quality, or to make room for others on the cast. Both girls on the top row were supposed to be Alice, but I ended up swapping the images out.
Oliver
Though it should come as no surprise, his real name isn’t actually Oliver - though he sure looks like one. His real name is Marvin, and, according to IMDB, he played a character named “Skye” in the Dear Evan Hansen movie. He was the ginger guy who said Jared’s “sch00l sh00t3r chic” line from stage version. When I saw him in the movie, my first thought was “Oh, he’s cute!”, so I put him on the cast.
(Marvin, if you see this, I’m so sorry😂.)
Christie
This was an obvious choice. She tested positive for COVID after being sequestered for BB23, and the rumours of her being on season 24 ran (slightly) rampant this year. Thus, I decided to go along with it and throw her in.
Jenna
I had a similar reasoning for Jenna as I did for Christie. Jenna was allegedly supposed to be on BB21 but something happened that caused her to get cut (I think it had something to do with Kat, but, to my knowledge, she didn’t have any ill intentions). Not to mention, Jenna is rumoured to be on every other year, so I thought I’d go along with the meme.
Phoebe
This poor girl’s stock image is used on fake cast lists every gosh darn year, so my decision to add her to the list was a pretty easy one. I read somewhere on Twitter that her real name is Christy, but I didn’t want there to be two Christy/ies on the cast, so I changed this ones name to Phoebe.
Alice
She looks a lot like an OC I have with the same name, but the stock image girl’s eyes are brown, not blue. I used photoshop to give the girl blue eyes so she’d look like my OC, and went with it.
Lyra
I was searching for one final woman of colour to add to the cast, and, lo and behold, I stumbled across Lyra. She gave me a vibe that screamed “Winner of BB24″, so I photoshopped the background of the image to match everyone elses, and gave her a very unique name. Queen will go places one day. Mark my words.
The Theme/House
I claimed in an earlier post that the season theme was “Big Brother Festival”, and the house was designed to look like a retro desert. Then the whole motel(?) thing was teased, so that went down the drain quick😂. I did get the retro and festival parts right though, so that’s something!
But yeah, I kinda just went with what SpoilerGirl said on this one because when is she ever (consistently) right?
The Musical
This one is pretty straightforward: I’ve always wanted to see a BB musical happen, thus, I used this account to put it into the universe.
The Vets
The vets were a last minute addition to the cast, which is why there are sixteen newbies and why I made these vets coaches and nothing more.
Kemi
Considering everything Kemi went through on BB21, it was obligatory to give her a second shot at something BB related.
Brett
As I’ve previously stated, I do not claim Brett. I used to stan him, but his friendship with J*ck and M*ch** became too much for me. However, there is no denying the impact he had on BB20 as a whole, and, who knows? Maybe he’d turn a new leaf in that house (those chances are slim, but I can dream😂).
Matt
I needed someone from an earlier season, and bringing Brigade members back seems to be a trend, so Matt seemed like the perfect candidate.
Hannah
I don’t think anyone wants Derek F back, and the other four Cookout members are already on The Challenge USA, so Hannah, with her huge fanbase, became the BB23/Cookout representative for the season.
The Other Stuff
The Triplet Twist I Hinted At
That was just me being unhinged. Now that I think about it, I have no idea how that would’ve worked with the coach-betting-system-thing.
The Key Wheel
That wasn’t a fake spoiler: that was a request. Make it happen, Grodner!
And with that, thank you all for putting up with my fake spoilers (and to the four people who followed me!!). I shall return for CBBUS4 or BBCAN11, depending on what happens first (these should be a bit more fun, since I probably won’t be searching for rookies in the form of stock images), though I may briefly pop in to “reveal” who won that one crucial HOH.
Deuces!

meta ramblings under the cut bc spoilers
milagro is so smart. she laughs things off and messes around, but she's so so smart. she could easily go to college, and part of her wants to. but unlike jaime (to no fault of his own), milagro was there for the loss of the autoshop and her dad's heart attack. she knows they have medical bills to take care of, and then the landlord tripled the rent. there's no way she's going to put another financial burden on her family's shoulders. so, she simply does not apply to any colleges, laughing it off and saying that she doesn't want to put herself in debt. she would love to go to college, and fully wants her brother to go to grad school, but she herself is determined to stay home and help take care of her family

i'm going to see bb again tonight so i'm gonna have a better grasp of the details, but i know going forward that i'm going to be switching up my portrayal to include a lot of movie!jaime's backstory (because it was almost exactly what i pictured in my head i'm still buzzing), including his dynamic with each of the members of his family, his age up to a college graduate, the uncertainty of his future due to realizing the situation that his family's in, the scarab not activating until he's home around his family + the entire suit up / systems check scene, and the fact that having the scarab eventually leads to the death of his father. as for the plot of the movie itself and threads based around that, i'm still not sure how much i want to keep in my own canon. there's a couple plot points that i don't necessarily agree with, but i know they're crucial for a couple people so i'll probably end up going on a case-by-case basis with those.
tldr: i loved movie!jaime and i do wanna model a good chunk of my portrayal on that version while using some older personal headcanons to flesh out the parts of the story that weren't as strong.
