Hopefully, like Jessie, the BB gods will have mercy on us, and he'll be evicted early on in the game. |

OK after watching that why do I feel like every one of the straight guys are closeted gays this year? LOL at that stupid pet peeve comment from Braden. If he says stupid shit like that all the time that combined with his alleged Sucksterness is probably gonna have me rooting for him, unfortunately. |

A choice between Brian and Sheila would be very tough. I'd love to see more of Brian, he totally got shafted. But Sheila was soooooooo good for the feeds! |

Jen from Big Brother 8 interviewed the cast on Monday and she did a little writeup on MSN.com about what she thinks of all the new houseguests. Pretty interesting read. CASEY: Casey seems very nice -- talkative without being annoying, charming without being creepy, and interesting without being too much. He is a fifth-grade teacher and nighttime DJ with two sons and says his family is No. 1, with his love of music at No. 2. Living without both is going to be tough for him. He is also the oldest houseguest and the only houseguest with children. He is a little scared that his wife will be jealous while watching him and wishes he had spent more time talking to her about his game play. He has no set strategy, not because he doesn't know how to strategize but because there really isn't a way to plan anything without knowing the rest of his housemates. He probably will be a character, and people watching the show will like him. He has a good shot at doing well in the "Big Brother" game. LYDIA: Lydia is a fun girl who looks like she is really outgoing but is actually kind of shy and reserved. After meeting her for only a few minutes, I trusted her, and I think the other houseguests will feel that as well, if they take the time to talk to her. She hopes that her housemates will be open-minded, and doesn't like when people judge her or others. She loves music and will really miss going to concerts while living in the house. It is tough to read how well she'll do -- she wants to fly under the radar, but she has a lot to say. Among her many tattoos is a pawn on her finger; only time will tell whether she uses her housemates as pawns or becomes one herself. LAURA: Laura is going in with a lot of gusto. She has been a big fan of the show since season 2 and says she is ready to go in and win. I think she may come across as a strong competitor to the other players, but that is not what she is concerned about. She is worried that her considerable cleavage will serve as a disadvantage, especially since she does not want to have a "showmance." She hopes that there are pushover-type guys in the house so that she can use her looks to manipulate them, yet she worries about how she'll be edited on the show. A self-professed "Big Brother" nerd, she has always loved to get all the details on the show and has spent considerable time on the message boards in the past. Laura may be the most cut-throat player this season by a long shot, so she'll either be out early for freaking people out or she'll last until the very end. KEVIN: This boy is good times. He's witty, stylish and loves girls, just not in that way. While on the show, he will miss his nine-year anniversary with his domestic partner. In his own words, he will fill the gay roll with "plenty of gayness" -- meaning, for "Big Brother" fans, he is more of a Joe than a Dustin. He hasn't planned much as far as strategy but says he does plan to hold back the fact that he is a former Jehovah's Witness, at least for a while, for fear that others will judge him. Previous gay houseguests have done well on this show, and there don't appear to be other housemates that would give him a hard time. He hopes that his parents, whom he hasn't talked to in years, will be told about the show and will watch him and maybe even be proud of him. I don't know if Kevin will win, but I think he'll make it to the jury. BRADEN: This was the one interview that was simply awkward. General consensus so far in the media is that something's up with this guy, but no one is sure what. The Santa Monica surfer boy comes across as cocky when it seems that deep down he's not. He started watching "Big Brother" when his friend Nathan was on season 4, and he thought he'd like to do it this year ... then bam! He is on. Braden's hobbies are surfing, which he's done all over the world, and talking to girls, which from my experience is a little surprising. Looks like Laura will have a guy she can use for the season. I don't really think that he will go far in the game, but people's in-house personalities vary widely from their interview personas, so who can really tell. CHIMA: This super single girl, as she puts it, is full of life, fun and has a very positive aura. She is very bubbly, which will either be a great asset or her greatest downfall. She says she is going to downplay her energy for at least the first couple weeks so people don't think she's annoying. While she is excited to go in and play the game, she really hopes she doesn't get put on slop. If she wins the money, she will first pay off her school loans and then take a trip with her mom and grandma. Fully anti-showmance, she assures me that if there is a guy in the house she finds attractive, she will wait until after the show to pursue him. I'm not sure if Chima is mean enough to win the game, or has the will power to lay low when she needs to, but time will tell. RUSSELL: This Mixed Martial Arts fighter seems to have a good handle on life and the "Big Brother" game. On my first impression, he seemed to be thinking two steps ahead, always planning for what was going to come next. Although that is great in this game, it's not great if people know that's how you are, so we'll have to see how he acts around his housemates. He really hopes there are no criers in the house, as he doesn't know how to handle them, and he seems to have a lot of life experience, which comes in handy in this household. He will likely make it at least halfway with his competitive drive and charisma -- that is, if he can lay off the fighting for a few months. He also hopes that he doesn't encounter his perfect person while in the game because he doesn't want a romantic relationship for anything but strategy. JEFF: I vote Jeff as the houseguest most likely to get played. He seems too nice for such a cutthroat show and is going into the house wanting a fairytale romance. He thinks meeting someone under these circumstances would be an amazing story to tell. Although it sounds all nice and dandy, we all know that you don't move into the "Big Brother" house looking to date. If anything, you want to go in and avoid such a thing. Besides that deficiency, Jeff seems like a really genuine guy, even living by the motto, "Treat others as you'd like to be treated." Another positive is that he comes from an athletic background, so he has a good chance at endurance and physical challenges. Will that be enough to overcome his overwhelming niceness? MICHELE: Michele is sooo excited to be on the show. She is a super fan who has been watching since season 2. Besides that, Michele says, she has the brains to get to the end of the game. Although she may be right, I think that the second she tells her housemates that she is a neuroscientist, they are going to have her on their brains as someone to get rid of. She plans to hang out under the radar. That strategy may work when a rocket scientist shows up as her housemate. Here's hoping she gets away with being a super smarty-pants. RONNIE: W.O.W. in the house. For those of you stuck on World of Warcraft, "Big Brother" is a great way to detox from the gaming life. I too was a serious gamer, and now I'm clean! Ronnie has a very gamer-type personality. Gamers are very good at gaming, but they also tend to be somewhat antisocial, and "Big Brother" is a very social game. Ronnie is also a national speech and debate champion, which probably means he is a good talker. And when I think "speech and debate," I think Eric (from "Big Brother 8") on steroids, so that will be fun to watch. Overall, Ronnie has a good shot of making it far in this game, if not to the end. NATALIE: There are so many things to say about Natalie: She is a manager, which means she is used to having power over people; she is a poker player, which is helpful in this game, as any good poker player knows how to pick up on her opponents' tells; and she was also the bronze medalist in Tae Kwon Do in the Greece Olympics, which shows that she has determination. Overall, she has so much to offer in this game that I can only imagine she'll go far. That is, if she doesn't get trapped in a showmance -- she says she's not looking, but I think she and Russell have a ton in common, and if the chemistry is there... JORDAN: Jordan has to be the sweetest person of the season, at least from her first impression. She was one of the "Big Brother" recruits, which means that she had never seen an episode prior to a month ago. She says that not having access to the world won't be that big of a deal considering that she doesn't have Internet access or a computer. Jordan is really excited to move into the house so she can have her own bed, as she currently shares with her mom. I'm hoping she makes it at least to the jury house so she can have the full experience, and so she can win some money to bring home. That said, I think the only chance she has of getting anywhere in this game is if others notice her sweetness and use her to further their own goals. People will see that she is not a threat. |

I think I'm definitely going to despise Laura, Braden, and probably Russell. I see Chima, Lydia, Michele, Jordan (and possibly Kevin, if he's not too flamboyant) as being my favorites this season. Edited by Mason, Jul 1 2009, 09:34 PM.

Actually, you know what? After reading Jen's take on Laura, I think I like her a little more. For one, she sounds like a cutthroat competitor. She's there for the game. That's always a plus. At first, it seemed like she was a whore who just wanted to make out with cute boys on national TV, but according to Jen, she's not there for that. She'll manipulate the guys if it means getting ahead in the game, but unlike previous Big Brother whores, she's not actually there for romance. I like that. I also like that she's a big fan of the show, even calling herself a "Big Brother nerd." She probably posts at Jokers, Sucks or BBQ. Anyway, she reminds me a bit of Alison from Big Brother 4. We'll see. Laura just moved up a bit on my list, LoL. Oh, and Jeff is so going to get played by her! |

I was rooting for Big She by the end of BB9 but I don't think what she brought to the feeds was so great it needs to be brought back again. Most of my Sheila enjoyment stemmed from people like Baller, James and Alison riling her up way more so than anything Sheila did on her own. In the case of Brian, he was only on a week and what I saw of him I liked and was wanting more when he was sadly evicted. Plus, I think Brian's hot and am not that crazy about the males for this season. |

I can't put my finger on exactly what is so different about the males this season, but I think they're more naive than the guys we've had over the last three seasons. I think they're gonna get played hardcore, LoL. Especially Jeff. He seems like a really nice guy and I really like him, but he's gonna be used like no other... by Laura. This is a woman's season to win. |

Thanks K. I thought BBAD always started a few nights before the CBS show. Balls... I don't want to wait that long. Edited by SallySlice, Jul 1 2009, 10:25 PM.

LOL, yeah, right, Kenny! You love all of them - we'll see how long that lasts! LOL! Two hours after the feeds start - that's when! Haha. The concept for this season actually sounds great - now that it has been explained and fleshed out a bit. Very excited for the premiere! Edited by King, Jul 2 2009, 12:35 AM.

Agreed. The make-or-break detail for me was whether or not they would be competing for HOH and POV individually, which they are. I'm glad it's been confirmed. This season has lots of potential, but I won't know if I'm gonna love it or hate it 'til the feeds are on, LoL. Come on, July 9th! |
