Here's some in-house video from Media Day.

I'll hide it behind a spoiler tag since there are so many videos.

Watching the house tour now.

Why are there only twelve chairs at the kitchen table and 11 picture slots on the memory wall?

Zap2It is reporting that CBS told them the 14th houseguest got cold feet and backed out at the last minute. Damn! I was really looking forward to having 14 houseguests for the first time since BB8.

Oh well.

ETA: I wonder if the person who got cold feet was the saboteur?

Hayden and Brendon are pretty hot. More so Hayden for me though. However, why does Brendon spell his name so retardedly? It's either Brendan or Brandon ... PICK ONE BITCH!

Now, Enzo what the FUCK are you doing with your NON-EXISTANT hair? You realize you look like some Jeremy Piven wannabe, right? And that's not a compliment since Piven is a colossally ugly. SHAVE YOUR HEAD! You'll thank me later. And I already HATE him seeing as he's probably some huge HOMOPHOBE! Afraid of AIDS? Typical Italian dumbass! Ugh, I get enough of this at home.

I don't like Britney. She rubs me the wrong way.

Ragan scares me. I hope he's not the saboteur because I have a feeling people will think he is right off the bat. I hope he doesn't turn into Ronnie ... (crosses fingers)

No one is going to put up with an alliance member that wont play comps.

I dont get how the sabbath even applies here. It's not like these comps are work. Do you not BBQ, or play a game, or some sporting activity with a friend?

Ok, so there are specific things you can't do. One is cooking. So, no BBQ'ing. You can certainly play games or go outside or whatever. So like... I'm trying to think of past competitions. Like another thing you can't do is write (like with a pen). So if a competition involved writing something, you couldn't.

By the way, just to make something clear at the outset, if someone is sick or in life-threatening trouble, the Sabbath rules don't apply. It's not at all like those "religions" where they forego medical care or something like that. Hopefully no one will be in life threatening trouble in the BB house haha, but I know from my friends, that is a common question.

Oh also, one other thing haha (sorry for all the info), "work" is a poor English translation of what you can't do, that unfortunately caught on. There are specific things you are not allowed to do, but they're not really "work". Like you can't turn on the burner on the stove (lighting a fire, and cooking, isn't allowed), but you could move the furniture across the room. So which is harder work? So again it's just a list of things, not that you can't go to your job or do anything physically difficult.

The things you can't do all relate to creating something new, because the idea is that the Sabbath is to commemorate resting from creating the world, so we rest from creating things as well.

He's either a huge manwhore, or one of those ignorant fools that still thinks you can get it off a toilet seat.

The house looks great.

I love the sunset room, the cabana room, the upstairs hallway leading to HOH and the bathroom. The living room is nice. I like the big chains hanging from the wall in the background. The HOH room is nice too, although it looks really similar to last year's.

The only room I'm not crazy about is the "palm tree" room. Ick @ that wallpaper.

My favorite room is probably the sunset room. I love the colors. The cabana room is nice too -- it looks very relaxing.

Oh, the kitchen looks nice too. I like the color of the cabinets.

Wonder why they're being so secretive about the Have Not room again?

First impressions based on pictures and bios...

Keep in mind, my first impressions are almost ALWAYS wrong, LoL.

Andrew: He seems alright. Nice guy with an asshole streak. He probably has a low tolerance for things he's not used to and a low tolerance for immaturity. I bet he's easily manipulated by pretty women.

Annie: I like her. She seems competitive, but not obsessively. Likable personality. Nice sense of humor.

Brendon: Typical egotistical Big Brother "macho" male. Womanizer.

Britney: She'll be fun to watch. I love a good sarcastic bitch. I bet she'll be the type to do anything for camera time. She reminds me a bit of BB5's Holly and BB3's Amy.

Enzo: Hate him. He's like an un-funny version of BB6's Howie. Total meathead. His biggest fear is AIDS? And he already thinks of himself as a celebrity? First boot please.

Hayden: Typical BB jock. Naive. Easily manipulated by women.

Kathy: I can't believe she goes street racing in her patrol car, LoL. Against my better judgment, I think she'll be one of my favorites. She seems very energetic/tomboy-ish and full of pizazz.

Kristen: Don't like her. She throws off major bitch vibes. She reminds me of BB2's Shannon.

Lane: No opinion. He seems rather boring to me.

Matt: Extremely likable. Very rootable. Smart. Good sense of humor. He'll probably be the underdog of the season.

Monet: I like her. She comes across as a spoiled princess but not a bitch. Despite her Daddy's Girl/heiress vibe, I bet she's actually very down to earth. I like that she has self-respect and appreciates intelligence in both men and women.

Rachel: She's annoying as hell and she's not nearly as cute as she thinks she is. She reminds me of BB10's Michelle. I bet she'll pose and primp for the cameras all season. Ugh. Second boot please.

Ragan: He'll be fun to watch. Clearly he's very opinionated, proud of his sexuality and not afraid of confrontation. I bet he'll overplay his hand early on though.

My only opinion so far is that Kristen and Annie kind of fade into the background among the others. Not sure if that means they'll be booted early or stay awhile, lol.

Meet The 'Big Brother 12' Houseguests

Who is the "Big Brother" saboteur?

That's the question that will no doubt consume contestants on the 12th edition of CBS' voyeuristic reality TV series that confines a group of strangers — or houseguests, as they're known on "Big Brother" — inside a makeshift two-story domicile for the summer, all while being constantly monitored by over 50 video cameras and 95 microphones.

This season, executive producer Allison Grodner and her team have planted a mole among the houseguests to do viewers' bidding and disrupt the players' lives during "Big Brother 12," which debuts July 8 at 8 p.m. EDT. Grodner said the saboteur, who will be revealed to viewers on the July 15 episode, isn't eligible to win the $500,000 grand prize.

"For the first time ever, we have someone in the house who, in a way, is playing their own game," said Grodner, who stressed that the operative is not an actor but a real person who was picked alongside everyone else. "They're playing for a cash prize, if they make it a certain amount of time in the house. If they don't last, they're out, and their cover is blown."

Such surprises are a staple of the "expect the unexpected" franchise. The traitorous twist is similar to the eighth season introduction of "America's Player," which allowed one contestant to complete viewer-voted tasks for cash, unbeknownst to his house mates. This time, however, the cast will be made aware of the trickster's existence beforehand.

Among the suspects is Andrew Gordon, a 39-year-old Orthodox Jewish podiatrist from Miami. Gordon will be taking his own cooking utensils into the house and will observe Shabbat, not using electricity from sundown Friday until Saturday night. Grodner said no special exceptions will be made for Gordon's religious beliefs when it comes to the game.

"It's already going to be tough in that house, so it's going to be even tougher dealing with these extra little things," he said. "People are probably going to look at me as an outsider and wonder what I'm doing and why I'm not eating their food. It's something I've had to explain my whole life as a practicing Jew. Whatever happens, I'll deal with it."

Before meeting their competitors or entering the house, the houseguests were individually interviewed by The Associated Press while voluntarily sequestered — no TV, newspapers or telephones — from the outside world. (This season was originally slated to feature 14 contestants, but one person dropped out before the contest and will not be replaced.)

"I live my life full of adventure," said Annie Whittington, a 27-year-old bartender from Tampa, Fla., who dyed her platinum hair brunette at the insistence of producers because there were too many blondes this season. "I never thought I'd actually make it on the show. I love the social experiment, throwing in random people where they can't escape."

Kathy Hillis, a 40-year-old deputy sheriff from Texarkana, Ark., doesn't think competing and deceiving on "Big Brother" will be tougher than fighting crime or battling ovarian cancer. Hillis, who has been cancer free for 11 years, lied to her 23-year-old son and told him she was going on an undercover assignment in another city, not on reality TV.

"I wanted it to be a surprise," said Hillis. "He knows I've applied in the past, and he thinks it's funny."

Others hoping to outlast the rest include tattooed 32-year-old Mensa member Matt Hoffman from Elgin, Ill.; 34-year-old slam poet and assistant professor Ragan Fox from West Hollywood, Calif.; 24-year-old oil rig salesman Lane Elenburg from Decatur, Texas; and 32-year-old insurance adjuster Enzo Palumbo from Bayonne, N.J.

"My strategy is to go in there and hustle them," said Rachel Reilly, a 26-year-old cocktail waitress and chemistry graduate student from Las Vegas. "I'm not going to let them know at first that I'm an intelligent girl who is into chemistry. I'm going to let them think I'm just this ditzy cocktail waitress from Las Vegas who doesn't know anything."

This season, the Florida-themed "Big Brother" dwelling, which is located on a Studio City sound stage, features several beachy touches, including an indoor room resembling a cabana and a pair of colossal fake palm trees. Grodner said the "have not" bedroom, an uncomfortable enclave where players who lose "have not" competitions are relegated, will return.

"It's sort of the dark-side of the decor this year," teased Grodner, who said the nightmarish space would be revealed during the July 11 episode. "We have a very fun South Beach kind of vibe going on throughout the house this season, and this room is the opposite of all that. I would venture to say it's worse than last year, which was pretty bad."
