It's fair to say there has been a mixed reaction to CBS' announcement that Big Brother 13 would feature the return of "dynamic duos" from the show's past. For every fan thrilled by the prospect of seeing their favorite players again, there is another who would rather not spend another summer with Jessie, aka "Mr. Pectacular," admiring himself in the mirror.Big Brother Season 13 to feature past "dynamic duos;" 8 houseguests revealed Here at TVGuide.com, we see validity in each argument, but one thing is key: We want to watch game-players, not self-obsessed famemongers whose sole purpose is to stir the pot — and boost ratings — until the house kicks them out. So, in order for us to fully invest in this season's twist, casting of the returning twosomes is key.Behold, the five teams we'd most enjoy watching again this summer...

Big Brother Season 13 to feature past "dynamic duos;" 8 houseguests revealed
Here at TVGuide.com, we see validity in each argument, but one thing is key: We want to watch game-players, not self-obsessed famemongers whose sole purpose is to stir the pot — and boost ratings — until the house kicks them out. So, in order for us to fully invest in this season's twist, casting of the returning twosomes is key.Behold, the five teams we'd most enjoy watching again this summer:1. Will and Mike "Boogie" (Season 2 and All-Stars)Check out photos of the new Big Brother 13 houseguests
3. Evel Dick and Daniele (Season 8)
For Them: This is the team that can deliver both the scheming game-play we love and also pick the fights we live to watch. Dick may be the most-hated player ever to win the game, and we're sure the years haven't toned down his antics. Danielle has all the same killer instincts in a much friendlier package.
Against Them: Watching these two try to rebuild their strained father-daughter relationship the first time around was often more uncomfortable than it was therapeutic.
4. Howie and Janelle (Season 6 and All-Stars)
For Them: This is the only team on our list that's never had a member win the game. Howie is always good for a big goofy laugh, and while we certainly can't deny Janelle's eye-candy appeal, she is also the single greatest physical competitor in the game's history, clawing her way to third place on two different seasons.
Against Them: Like Chilltown, we're not sure we want to spend a third summer with these two, especially since they failed in both of their previous appearances.
5. Memphis and Dan (Season 10)
For Them: The "Renegades" weren't as flashy as others on this list, but their secret alliance was just as effective. Dan was the brains; Memphis was the muscle. And even when they had to rely on other players to keep them in the house, their loyalty to one another never wavered.
Against Them: Aside from Grandpa Jerry, their season was pretty forgettable. Although we do remember how loud Dan was during his Diary Room sessions...
Who do you want to see return to the Big Brother house this summer?
