Interviews are going up!
At long last! We have interviews going up at CBS2! So check it out here, as Diane interviews. It’s hard to hear Diane, as usual, so up your volume a bit! (I’m sure someone will youtube them too - I’ll embed here when that happens.)
Lydia: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107739@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: Still love her! She’s actually watched the show and has a good idea of what she’s getting into. And she wants a woman to win this year too, and asked Diane good questions about why it’s so hard for the women to stick together and go to the end, voting. She seems to already be thinking - good! She does say ‘like’ a lot, but it’s not even half as annoying as when Jen(bb8) did it. Heh. See seems very confident and comfortable in her own skin.
Chima: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107741@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: Oh Chima. That makeup scares me. And shiny. Oh dear. But she is certainly bubbly, and she finds herself very funny like she says. The voice isn’t quite as grating as I feared, but the laugh… oh the laugh. We’ll always know where she is! Something Diane said in the interview when talking about the money “one in 14 or 15 chance of winning half a million…” - a clue? She’s naturally a fan of Janelle. She says she’s physically inept, she can remember a whole lotta stuff but don’t ask her to climb a wall! Hah. Ok, the laugh is gonna kill me, but maybe I’ll like her a little more than I thought originally.
Michele: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107743@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: She comes off very cute, uber excited, she’s a big fan of Big Brother too. She says she’s a female Eric (BB8), goofy and smart, and I can see that. She’s very much a CA girl, but she’s a lot more expressive than I expected - she’s definitely a cute nerd.
Natalie: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107746@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: Haha! She’s already been warned that hitting people is not a allowed. She rolled her eyes and laughed when she said it, and I think she’s cute. When she talked about not getting to tell her dad goodbye, awwww. She swears she won’t cry - can’t wait to see her break down. Hahah! She’s another fan, which makes me happy, as we’ve got more fans than not this time around. She’s intelligent, and I think she’ll do well. They’ll certainly underestimate her since she’s so small. I love that her main worry is food and getting to eat other than slop, when she weighs all of 102. *L* Nice. She asked Diane good questions as well, and is already thinking ahead.
Russell: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107748@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: Russell the Love Muscle. Oh my. He does seem to have a brain along with the muscle. He says he has a short fuse, but will be able to keep it under wraps. We shall see. What I want to know is who might win between him and Natalie in a fight. My bet on Natalie - girls fight dirty! He promises to use the gym every day - so yay, eye candy! And he really does have a nice grin. He’s also a fan, even though he was recruited in a bar. So that’s good too. Man. I might actually like this guy… I’ll feel slightly ashamed if I like someone with the nicknamed the love muscle. He’s hoping for an Evel Dick approach - in your face. Not sure how well that’s gonna work out for him…
Ronnie: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107750@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: Ok, I’m gonna HAVE to root for him - my dad was born in West Virginia, and I was born in Ohio, and ya know, Ronnie was too, and hello, he’s a geek. He’s very personable actually, not as geeky as I feared. He admitted to crying when he got the key - so he’s gonna be our emotional one. Ha! He knows he’s gotta be flexible, and has a pretty good handle on how he wants to go in and play a social game. And of course, he’s a huge fan. He talks highly of his wife, often, and that’s really kinda adorable. He seems to have a pretty good take on the game and what he needs to do - though he could be in danger of overthinking… he’ll have to watch out for that.
(Keep refreshing! I’ll post the links as they become available!)

UPDATE! Julie Chen (AND OMG BABYBOT BABYBUMP!) has her house tour up with the first glimpse of the “jungle room” which doesn’t look very jungle-y, but DOES look uncomfortable as hell, AND the Right hand shower has NO HOT WATER. 


The videos are UP! And the house looks FANTASTIC! I really wasn’t too sure how I’d like it from the reports we’d been given, but it’s AWESOME, and my youngest wants to live in the Pool Room Forever! (She’s a swimmer. 
So, like half the Big Brother Universe, I’m stalking many sites currently, just waiting for the Press Day embargo to be lifted, which will get us our first views. Ala B-Side Blog, the gag order is released as of 6am BB time (PST) - of course, we diehard fans are hoping for someone to slip up and hit “publish” early.
