The 18th season of Big Brother is currently underway, and after only several weeks the drama has already begun. Some of the crazy antics have to do with the twist involving the return of past houseguests. This has been a common theme on the Summer reality series since the All-Star season of Big Brother aired in 2006. We at TV Overmind decided to look back through all 18 seasons and find out which houesguests have been in the compound the longest.
5. Tie Danielle Reyes (Seasons 3 and All-Stars) and Jordan Lloyd (Seasons 11 and 13)
Danielle could have been the winner of Big Brother 3 had her co-stars not watched her diary room confessions where she talked negatively about each and every one of them. She toned down the drama for Big Brother All-Stars, but only placed 6th. Jordan won her first season of Big Brother beating out average competitor Natalie. She would return two seasons later and place 4th overall losing to returning houeguest Rachel Reilly.
Days in the house: 142
4. Dan Gheesling (Seasons 10 and 14)
Dan will go down as the best player in Big Brother history. He took home the $500,000 during season 10 and then made it to the final 2 during the 14th installment. You would think the other houseguests would have gotten rid of him sooner, but they all fell for the Catholic school teacher’s charm.

3. Will Kirby (Seasons 2 and All-Stars)
Will has been one of the most out-spoken houseguests in the history of Big Brother. However, that did not stop the doctor from winning the second season of the series. He was able to place 4th during All-Stars only after Janelle and Erika finally figured out they would need to work together to get Will and Mike Boogie out of the house. Sadly, that plan did not work for the two women.

2. Mike “Boogie” Malin (Seasons 2, All-Stars, and 14)
It is amazing that someone who placed 8th on their initial season of Big Brother would be considered an All-Star, but Mike Boogie was included in that season of the reality show. He even took home the $500,000 prize after beating his showmance Erika. Boogie would return for a 3rd season and survive 48 days before everyone realized how truly annoying he has been since we first met him in 2001.
Days in the house: 153
1. Janelle Pierzina (Season 6, All-Stars, and 14)
The person that has spent the most days in the Big Brother compound is none another than the blonde bombshell: Janelle. She quickly became a fan favorite during her first stint and would place 3rd. Janelle would come back to play the All-Star season and once again receive the bronze trophy. When Janelle returned 7 season later, it appeared she had lost some of her spark and would be sent back to Florida on Day 34.
Days in the house: 177
