My Favorite Seasons Of Big Brother

Since I have written an article about Big Brother before, I am sure you are not surprised to read that it is one of my favorite summer shows! I have been tuning into this crazy, power-struggle of a game since the summer before I started high school, and I have even gone back to watch earlier seasons. In honor of the eighteenth season, here is a ranking of my favorite summers of Big Brother!

1. Season 13

While the duo twist wasn't my favorite, the returning players in this season were EVERYTHING! Dani Donato is my all-time favorite player. SHOCKER!

2. Season 14

This season featured the coaches twist, bringing back four of the best players ever: Britney, Janelle, Dan, and Mike Boogie. The winner, Ian, played an incredible game, and he also studied chemical engineering! Of course, Britney stole the show and in the process gave me a host of GIFs to feature in this article!

3. Season 12

This season was the first one I ever watched, and it was also when America was introduced to Rachel Reilly. Can you see why I am hooked?

4. Season 10

Yes, Libra, please clap for Dan Gheesling, the winner of Big Brother 10 and one of the best, if not THE best, to ever play the game. I also really liked the cast in this season. It was one of the most diverse that I have seen.

5. Season 11

Between Chima being kicked out of the game and being introduced to Jeff and Jordan, Season 11 had its fair share of drama and game play, all of which I enjoyed watching.

6. Season 6

Another one of the greatest to ever play the game, Janelle, played for the first time this season which featured the most divided house I have ever seen play. Literally every week, it would be one side fighting against the other for power.

7. Season 8

Going back and watching this season after watching Dani Donato return just made me like her even more. Also, who didn't LOVE watching Evel Dick go around banging those pots and pans?

8. Season 17

Last summer featured another good season, but compared to the ones mentioned above, it wasn't incredible. However, Vanessa's game play was just that, incredible.

I am choosing not to rank Seasons 15 and 16. Season 15 is the infamous Big Brother season of racism and bigotry, and Season 16 was nothing special to me. In fact, I gave up on it once I moved into WPI (it was freshman year, so a lot of things prevented me from watching).

Also, I am not ranking Season 18 yet, for it is still going. However, it has been a very entertaining season, and I cannot wait to see who wins! Here's to many more summers of twists and expecting the unexpected!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
