Keesha Smith might have been the first evictee on Big Brother 22: All-Stars, but this BB10 legend is certainly having the last word since the season ended. Casual viewers might remember the huge – and nonsensical – fight that broke out during Keesha’s infamous birthday celebration inside the Big Brother 10 house, but the diehard fans never forgot about Keesha for even a second. In fact, the fans had been clamoring for the show to cast her as a returning houseguest on a new season. It took exactly 12 years for the producers to hear the fans on this, but they eventually did cast Keesha on BB22.
Unfortunately, Keesha Smith only lasted a week in the Big Brother 22 game. Like most of the old-school players on this cast, Keesha had a hard time connecting with the more recent players at the start of the season. There was a sense among these castmates that not a lot of gameplay was happening in week 1 – and that’s somewhat true, but some alliances were being formed behind closed doors. All things considered, Keesha was just among the group of players that got shut out of a chance to actually play the game… but she just happened to be the first casualty to go home.
Despite her short time inside the Big Brother: All-Stars house, Keesha Smith has been arguably one of the most active characters from the show. All season long, Keesha took to Twitter and Instagram to share her thoughts on what was happening in the game. She read to filth guys like Cody Calafiore, Memphis Garrett, and Enzo Palumbo – accusing them of playing innocent while deliberately targeting so many female contestants like herself. One of Keesha’s most viral BB22 tweets (seen below) was a joke where she dragged Cody for not knowing her name while also teasing Dan for allegedly having a crush on her during BB10. In other posts shared on Instagram (also seen below), Keesha can be seen having an interview with Kaysar Ridha or preparing to go live on CBS for the Big Brother 22 finale.
Despite being the first evicted houseguest on BB22, Keesha didn’t let that slow her down. For one, she has landed quite a few new opportunities with sponsors that want to advertise on her social media profiles. She was also very active online after this season, which meant that she grew her following in a very significant way. Now, even fans that perhaps weren’t as enamored with Keesha as they were on BB10 have grown to love and appreciate her as an alum.
Because it took so many years for Keesha to get cast on Big Brother 22: All-Stars, the fans had much bigger plans for her on the season. Still, it seems like she is just fine with how everything played out, which is great news.
