Previous season: Big Brother 19. Christmas broke her foot during the first week in the house. She had surgery and remained in the game, ultimately placing third.

Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I broke my foot last time and I want to show how strong of a player I am. I want to WIN THE $500K this time!

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
I am a lot more family-focused now and live a quieter, simpler life. I had a baby since I last played (named Loyal) and I downsized my obligations to be home with him.

Previous season: Big Brother 21. David played a good social game during his short time on the show but didn't get the true BB experience when his game was cut short due to a surprise opening night twist.

Why do you want to play Big Brother again?  
I think we can all learn something from failure. Last year was very tough to have a once in a lifetime opportunity go the way that it did. I'm looking forward to competing in an HOH, to actually voting, and just playing this very interesting social game.

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
I've learned how to listen and communicate better since last year. I learned a lot during COVID-19 earlier this year and it's been a game-changer.

Previous season: Big Brother 21. Nicole placed third and was voted America's Favorite Houseguest for her season.

Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I want vindication! Last time, Michie got my confetti, and this time it is mine. I want it. I want to make it all the way to finale night again, especially since I like to see everything I do through to its completion; I want the title of Big Brother winner; I want the prize money to really change my sisters' and my lives (i.e., move-out of my parents' house, get a car, get my own studio equipment for mine and Eric Curto's podcast and shows, and start my life as an independent individual).

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
Since the last time I was on the show, I have become far more comfortable. More comfortable within myself; more comfortable engaging in conversations with others; more comfortable speaking up for myself; more comfortable giving my all during competitions; and more comfortable admitting that I WANT that confetti at the end!

Previous seasons: Big Brother 8 (runner-up) and Big Brother 13. Dani married her fellow Houseguest from Season 13, Dominic Briones.

Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I want to bring back the old-school Big Brother gameplay... also want to finally get my W!

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
Yes! Every time I play, I feel like a different person. I am older and hopefully wiser.

Previous season: Big Brother 16 (runner-up)

Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I want to play Big Brother again because of money, money, money, and monayyyyyyy.

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
I have grown and matured a ton since the last time I played. I am able to listen and flag misinformation much better than the first time I played the game. Reading people isn't my strength, but listening to people is, so I am able to use that to my advantage this go-around.

Previous season: Big Brother 11. Kevin was the first Houseguest to be evicted on finale night, placing third.

Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I came SO close to winning but choked in the final competition and it still stings to this day. How DARE you, Jordan! Am I bitter about it? Meh... maaaaybe, but am I better about it? YES!  Getting eliminated on finale night, PLUS having legends come on the show saying I was the person to win but then didn't, HURT. I want to prove to myself and America that I'm an underrated player who deserves to reclaim his lost crown.

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show?
I'm still offbeat and awkward but now I'm just more seasoned. I went from Graphic Designer to Senior Creative Director at the same marketing agency I work at. I upgraded the 'boyf' to 'husb' and got married, and we recently celebrated 20 years together! I also gave birth to a fur-baby, his name is Mochi and he's sassy like his daddy. I'm hoping to win Big Brother this time so we can officially start our family together and adopt a real baby.

To help Angela open her plant-based restaurant.

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show?
I feel much more humbled now. Big Brother 20 changed my life 100 percent for the better in many ways and I couldn't be more grateful. I just need to try not to screw it up this time!

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
Since the last time I was on the show, I am so much more aware of my emotions and I have worked on my communication skills!

I love the game, I love everything about it. The fangirl in me could never turn it down. I'm also here to become the first EVER two-time winner, no big deal.

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
I'm NOT afraid to own my moves anymore. Before I was afraid to lie and play the game openly. This time I'm playing loud and proud.

Previous seasons: Big Brother 17 and Big Brother 18. Da'Vonne was the first Houseguest to figure out the twin twist in Season 17.  

Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I genuinely LOVE this game. It's hard as hell and it will drive you crazy, but it's so much fun to play. I've played Big Brother twice now, and I've lost Big Brother twice, but third time's the charm, right? When I was evicted during Season 18, I told Julie that I'd play this game again and again and again, and I meant that. With two seasons and no comp wins, my ego and my pride are annoyed as hell right now, how did I go in there TWO TIMES and didn't win anything? I have some things that I need to prove to myself. I'm fully aware of what my biggest errors were during my first two seasons, so I know exactly what NOT to do this time around. 

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
My life has changed a lot since the last time I was on the show. I've grown so much as a person. High-tempered, hot-headed Da'Vonne has calmed down a lot. Don't get me wrong, she's still very accessible, but I try to keep her tucked away these days. I've done more TV shows and branched out more with my acting. Life has really been great, I can honestly say the Lord has blessed me.

I think before I speak now.

Previous season: Big Brother 14 (winner)
 
Why do you want to play Big Brother again? 
I'm generally a good games player, so if there's a game being played for money where I have positive equity, I want in!

Have you changed/evolved since the last time you were on the show? 
I'm much more mature and readily able to navigate social situations. Working as a physics teacher for a handful of years taught me a lot about building connections with others.
