John: As far as the series goes, what do the hard-core fans and the newbies bring to the show?

Erin: They bring completely different things. Super fans can overplay and they can sometimes be boring because they choose to play the middle. A newbie comes in, has no idea what to expect and comes as 100 percent themselves, whereas super fans don’t show all of their cards. I think both approaches can be successful. I think you need a mix of both on Big Brother.
