I think social media probably players a huge factor in the BBUS off-show culture and BBCan off-show culture. The entire BBCan cast across all three seasons has a large family feel, and I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the show started on 2013 and has had its entire existence recorded through **** like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, YouNow, and I'm sure other apps I haven't even heard of. It takes the Big Brother aspect to a whole new level because now they're outside of the house and we're watching their almost every move still. In comparison, think back to a season like BBUS10, which aired well before Twitter became popular and Periscope even existed. Our only chances of catching up with cast members after the show would be random interviews or podcasts or pictures at Reality Rally-esque events.

Point being, I don't think that getting older BBCan people back for an All-Stars season would be terribly difficult because a lot of them are still attached to and even identify themselves with the show. We're seeing that with BBUS a lot more now too, but before the social media age it was so easy for people to go on a show like Survivor or Big Brother and then get their lives back to normal.
