Hello, and welcome to the first All Starz season of this series. You have been hand selected for various reasons to compete in this special season. Whether you were a winner, a diva, a comp whore, known for making a stupid decision, or some other reason, you proved to be some of the most memorable and most dedicated players from the first three seasons. But, before I introduce you and explain why you have been chosen, allow me to explain the Sassy/Sweet twist of this season. As I mentioned previously, rather than all 18 if you entering into one house as individuals, you will be entering as two factions: The Sweet and The Sassy. All of you will be living in the same house, but the game will be played from within your factions. That means that you will not be able to nominate or veto outside of your faction. If you win HoH or PoV, you may only nominate or veto people from your faction. You will, however, be voting for all evictions, regardless of what faction you are in. As well, the first 3 rounds of this game will be double evictions, with a Sassy and a Sweet going home each round. From there, the game is a mystery for now. More to be revealed later, but the factions WILL stay in tact. So, without further delay, allow me to introduce the cast for Big Brother All Starz, along with their selected factions! We'll start with our winners... Holly Marie was the pioneer winner for Big Brother Starz. She dominated her season as a challenge whore, having won 3 HoHs and 4 consecutive PoVs. As well, she fought the odds when her key allies were taken out (Sophia and Kathy), and she was left to face off against the president himself, Barack Obama, while still managing to get herself and her sole remaining ally, Orlando, to the final 2. In the end, it was her strong gameplay (and even choosing to respect her competition by vetoing Barack in the final 5) that earned her the majority 5-1 vote from the jury. Welcome to the house, Holly Marie, a diva at times, but one of The Sweet for this game. Adam Levine proved to be an early contender from the beginning of Season 2. He quickly showed that, if you mess with him, you might find yourself in trouble, as people like Mingin, Sandra, and Lindsay eventually took the fall as a result of a lot of Adam's work, whether he was HoH or not during their eviction week. Sandra got the majority of Adam's attention, and the two of them were obvious enemies. Along with 2 HoH wins, 3 PoV wins (1 week having swept both HoH and PoV), Adam used his strategic gameplay, with well pointed alliances, to further himself in the game. In the end, he edged out his ally Johnny with a 4-3 win. Welcome your 2nd winner to the house, Adam Levine, one of The Sassy. Our third and most recent winner, Debra, was clearly a force to be reckoned with in the Starz 3 house. She won 4 HoHs and 2 PoVs (with 1 week being a sweep) and evaded nomination until round 7, when she was nominated 3 rounds in a row, yet still escaped the final nominee chair twice. Having an obvious public enemy in Melanie, Debra used her strong social connections, along with some well spent PENNies to get her out of the rough patches. Unlike her 2 predecessors, Debra's game didn't contain much sass (Holly was half sass and Adam was a complete s'ass'). She was fairly well like and followed, which makes her another of The Sweet to enter the house. Welcome, Debra! Holly Marie, Adam, and Debra. Welcome to the house! Take your key, and go grab a bed and luxury item from your bedroom!

Moving on to our 2nd and 3rd place players... Orlando might have been pegged as a floater early on in Big Brother Starz, not really hitting the spotlight until round 6 when he was nominated by the secret HoH and then went on to win PoV that round to save himself. He added 2 more PoVs to his total, along with 2 HoHs, to bring his comp wins to 5. While Holly won the HoH in the final 3 to bring Orlando to the final 2 with her, it was Orlando who won the crucial final 4 PoV, which allowed him to take out Barack, another big threat to win the game. His drive to win, along with his likability made him a memorable player, despite only receiving 1 jury vote to win. Surely, he's back to find a win this season. Please welcome, Orlando, obviously one of The Sweet. And let's take a moment to remember Johnny, our season 2 runner up, as his presence in this season will be surely missed! (Johnny was offered a chance to play, but turned it down due to real life demanding too much of his time.)Moving on, we welcome Christina to the house! Despite having a lot of haters and holding the record for most nominations, Christina managed to secure herself a spot in the final 2 of her season, though she fell way short in capturing a win against Debra. Christina is known for wearing her emotions on her sleeves, and with just one HoH, Immunity, and PoV win under her belt, she comes into the house with a lot to prove. Can she silent her haters? As one of The Sweet, will it take a little sass for this diva to have a chance at reaching another final 2, and this time taking home the victory? The first of our 3rd place players, Lolly, enters the house as the player who went the longest without receiving a nomination for eviction. It wasn't until round 9 that she first sat on the nomination chair, and from that point onward, she found herself a nominee each round until her eviction in the final 3. She has a pair of HoH wins, and even made it to the final part of the final HoH, where she lost to Holly Marie. Lolly did little to ruffle feathers, and for that, she enters as one of The Sweet, but don't let her pretty face deceive you. Our next 3rd place player packs a lot of punch. Coming from a season that had lots of drama, Sean did very little to keep himself out of the cat fights and public eye. He wasn't afraid to flirt or to speak his mind, and this diva of a guy won a pair of HoHs and a PoV on his way to finishing just shy of the finals when one of his closer allies, Johnny, made the decision to go with Adam over Sean. Our flamboyant Mr. Hayes is back for more, but this time, with his TV sidekick Debra in the mix, will Sean play any differently? Welcome another one of The Sassy! Not to be confused with Adam Levine, this Adam (who is not one of the famous Baldwin brothers, despite much confusion), made a name for himself late in the Starz 3 house by sweeping the round 9 HoH/PoV. He wasn't afraid to play all angles of the house up until that point, but in the final 3, when he needed a victory the most, Adam fell short in the final leg of the HoH, allowing Debra to win and take her closer ally Christina to the final 2. Surely back to finish what he started, let's welcome Adam Baldwin to the house as one of The Sweet! Orlando, Christina, Lolly, Sean, and Adam, here are your keys! Grab a bed while the getting is good, and don't forget to pick a luxury item.

And now for our 4th and 5th place players... After winning the first co-hoh of the series with Holly Marie, Barack was threatened of an early eviction in round 4 when Eve tried to pull off a surprise backdoor. He was fortunate enough to escape when inactive Emma dropped on request, and this lit a spark under the president's ass, which allowed him to rally support as he went on to win 3 more HoHs (including the inaugural secret HoH), bringing his total to 4. Round 10 marked the end of success for Barack, however, as Eve (who had become a close ally despite the backdoor plan in round 3) left in round 11, and Barack followed in round 12 when Orlando had the sole vote to send Barack or Holly Marie home. What will our president do this time around? As one of The Sassy, I'm sure he won't disappoint. Next, we welcome the self-proclaimed Starz goddess herself, Ms. Nicki Minaj. Her raps have entertained us all, and while she boasts a lone PoV win, this girl has only seen the nomination seat twice, and only received one vote for eviction. That was enough to send her packing in 4th place, though, but we all know that Nicki isn't afraid to cut a bitch. She may walk around flashing that pearly white smile, but be afraid. Be very afraid. With her "doesn't deal with shit" attitude and "tell it like it is" demeanor, this vixen ain't part of The Sassy for no reason. Another sleeper in the Starz 3 house, Sausage turned on the heat later in the game, and had it not been for a last minute DPoV, he might have seen things end a bit differently. Still, with one HoH win under his belt, Sausage has nothing to lose as he tries to improve his finish from last time. Will he kick it into gear a little earlier this game as he tries for an approach that's a bit more fast and furious? Or will he stick with a game of charm and sit back as one of The Sweet. Please welcome Sausage to the house! Eve was definitely no floater in the Big Brother Starz house. She set an early record for the most consecutive wins in a row, having claimed the round 2 PoV, and the round 3 HoH and PoV. And while these were the only wins she tallied, she attempted to make moves early, and despite them falling through, she made enough allies and had presented herself as a strong enough competitor to make it to the final 5. Please welcome Eve to the house, one of The Sweet who isn't afraid go hard or go home. Next up, we have the original nominee queen, Lindsay! While Christina may have surpassed the number of times that Lindsay saw the nomination chair, there's no debate that Lindsay was more of a target than a pawn, and she fought hard for a well-earned 5th place. What seemed like an early boot in store for her, Lindsay went on to record 1 PoV and 1 HoH win in season 2, and she is surely out to redeem herself, with the hopes that her target isn't the only one among this cast of strong competitors. Another diva who's not afraid to tell it like it is, welcome Lindsay to the house as one of The SassyBarack, Nicki, Sausage, Eve, and Lindsay, take your keys and find yourself one of the remaining beds and luxury items in your respective bedrooms. Welcome to the house!

And finally, a handful of players who finished outside of top 5 for their seasons... Ms. Firecrotch herself enters this season with no HoH or PoV wins, yet only 2 nominations for eviction and 4 votes in 8 rounds with an 8th place finish. This social comedian's downfall came after close ally Sophia was voted out as part of the war between two alliances. Will she continue to rely on her social game to make it far this season? Or will she finally win an elusive chance at some power via HoH or PoV? Let's watch this wine-toting, sailor mouth take on the house as one of The Sassy. Welcome to the house, Kathy! Season 2 early boot Sandra is our next houseguest to enter, mostly known for her tiffs with Adam who went on to win their season. Placing 10th, Sandra's attempt to lay low ended up backfiring as she became one of the main targets early in the game, alongside Lindsay. Sandra comes in with one PoV win, which saved her from exiting in round 4, but in round 5, she left at the mercy of Sean's HoH and a 4-2 vote. Will Sandra be able to embrace her role as one of The Sassy to improve on her 10th place finish? While he's a replacement for Alyssa, Chris is no houseguest to be ignored. With a PoV win under his belt and a favorite among the housecalls in season 3, Chris took an early exit when his ally Melanie saved herself from the block. He played more like one of The Sweet, but since he's replacing Alyssa, Chris will be playing as one of The Sassy. Will he be able to handle the sassiness that his fellow faction-mates bring? Or is he too sweet for his own good? Welcome to the house, Chris! (Chris was the only person who requested a faction change, and thus no players were swapped from their original factions.) Mingin is another early boot from season 2, known for sitting on a power that could have saved him from eviction in round 3. Stuck between the risk of eviction or the probable outcome of losing an ally, Mingin gambled with his fate, and came up on the unlucky side of the coin. Many might question his ability to tango with some of Starz greatest, but surely Mingin won't make the same mistake twice, will he? He's one of The Sweet, but he's got nothing to lose by playing this season to his fullest. And finally, what would All Starz be without season 3's most power-hungry, villainous, and arguably craziest houseguest? James enters with an HoH and PoV win under his belt, despite his 12th place boot in just the 3rd round. Did he learn anything from last season, or will he return just as crazy and power-hungry as ever? Undoubtedly, one of The Sassy, please welcome Mr. Franco to the house as our final houseguest to round out this elite cast of 18. And finally, Kathy, Sandra, Chris, Mingin, and James. Take your keys and claim whatever beds and luxury items are left. Welcome!
