Big Brother Season 4, which was filmed in 2003, included an X-Factor twist. All of the houseguests, except three, were surprised to find that they were scheduled to spend their summer with their exes. This cast included a total of thirteen guests.
It was a controversial season based upon the theme alone, but Big Brother wouldn't exist if drama didn't ensue. This season included: deceptive and manipulative gameplay to an extreme, even so much Julie Chen made a comment about it; a female houseguest who slept with the majority of the male houseguests; and racist remarks due to a nomination. The houseguest list included: Scott Weintraub, Amanda Craig, Michelle Maradie, David Lane, Dana Varela, Nathan Marlow, Justin Giovinco, Jack Owens, Jr., Jee Choe, Erika Landin, Robert Roman, Alison Irwin and Jun Song.
