Big Brother Craze

So, while we’re waiting for more interview videos to be posted (Ross will have the Women of Big Brother today, and we’re still waiting on Mark from Reality Wanted, and BB Alumni Diane from CBS2 - and don’t forget Bunky and Keesha at WLBB, their first call in show is tonight!) I know you all are DYING to know what I think of the cast, right? Because I’m never wrong in my snap superficial judgments… (/sarcasm! Hee!) Dying to know or not - here we go:

Braden:
Srsly? Is this guy for real? He can’t act, he’s already got nudie pics being shared around, he’s dumber than a stump, so much so that he makes up his own words and doesn’t know the meaning of simple ones like “pet peeve” - this does not mean your “favorite” pizza, man, it’s something you hate about others. I’m blond and I know this! Nothing is more telling than his bio which says he’s “boastful of his self-perceived intelligence.” Nothings worse then an idiot thinking he’s smart. I’m fully prepared to hate this guy.

Kevin:
The season’s token gay! And he’s “Ghetto Fabulous”! It could go either way with this one. I liked Dustin at first too, until he went all douchebag on us in season 8. And Josh, well, he kinda gave the bitchy fags a bad name. Could Kevin redeem the bitchy tag and make it watchable and fun without delving into cruel and idiocy? Time will tell! I like getting my bitch on as much as the next person, so hopefully he’ll live up to the hype. I could go either way with Kevin, but on the small things I’ve seen so far, he makes me laugh, and that’s a good thing.

Laura:
Oy. Another Bikini model, this one with a Tramp Stamp. My first thought is that she’s BB8 Jen v2, but the saving grace is that Laura is at least a Big Brother Fan. She wants to use her body as a secret weapon, but how secret is it if it’s mostly undressed in a bikini? Just sayin’. I’m fully prepared to dislike her intensely, while oogling her massive cleavage.

Russell:
Ok, when I heard “Russell the love muscle” I was all INSTAHATE! And then I saw the way he interacted with Ross, and where the name came from, and how it made Ross blush and back up, and ya know, I kinda like him now. I have a feeling he’s one of those houseguests that will grow on us - if he sticks around long enough. His size and obvious strength will make him an early target, unless he keeps in the winning Clique. He does have that gentle teddy bear look to his eyes, and ya know, eye candy. And he seems to have more brains than our last musclehead… not that that is a difficult thing to achieve. Heh. So, I like him, tentatively.

Jordan:
Oh honey, these guys are gonna eat you ALIVE. This one is so naive, and she’s never seen the show, and she’s our ‘blond bimbo’ stereotype for the season. SHe did kinda win me over a bit by saying she wont “bugger” on tv - meaning having sex. In the UK, bugger involves the back door, and that made me giggle. Way to try and be prim and proper, darlin.. I’m reserving my judgment on this one, as it could go either way. I’m hoping she’s a little less naive than she comes across.

Natalie:
Oooooh, she’s a tough little cookie, isn’t she? Bronze medalist in Tae Kwon Do, she’s a whole lotta POW in a little package! She’s also a poker player, and believes she can pick up on others lies and tells - while doing her own manipulations behind the scenes. First impressions are that I like her, and think she’ll go far? But if they realize she’s a competition powerhouse, she could be Tae Kwon Kicked right out the door early.

Michele:
Talk about an all natural girl! I love that she’s barely wearing makeup, that her hair isn’t all done up, and she’s an obvious smartypants too what with the whole brain surgeon thing. My worry is that she’ll pull a Brian and over think everything in the first week or two, instead of a Dan and take calculated risks throughout. I like her, and see her possibly going at least to the jury if the others don’t perceive her as a threat right away. She and I have the same motto, Don’t sweat the small stuff, and hopefully she’ll hang in there long enough to do the Brainiacs proud!

Jeff:
Our All American Dude! I like him - especially after seeing him with Ross. He’s a big hearted guy, and seems pretty stable and confident without being overly so. Thats a good thing for us Big Brother fans! He gives off a bit of a Memphis/Dan vibe, and I’m drawn to him, even if he says he wouldn’t mind a showmance. He’s an ex-football player. Wonder if he has a tight end… Hee! First impression is like! We’ll see how long that lasts…

Chima:
AHHHH! She looks like my 10 year old helped her with her makeup! And that VOICE! Hopefully that’s her working voice, and not her everyday chatting voice, or we’ve found this seasons Keesha (Who I adored, even as she made my ears bleed!). She has a great potential to be this seasons ABW, but if she can keep that in check and be the friendly outgoing girl she is at work, she might do alright. I’m waiting to see this one on the feeds before I make my final like/hate decision.

Ronnie:
Gamer Geeks FTW! He’s the type you imagine sitting at home surrounded by his computers, ignoring the world - wait, he IS that type. No imagining necessary! I love the way he talked about his wife, though I think his being an uberfan might be his downfall. He will need to pull back a little, else he be an early boot. Though his smallish geekish looks may give him the advantage of not seeming to be a threat. In his interview with Ross he was funny, and charming, and he’s in my like column - for now.

Lydia:
This should come as no surprise - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE her. Please don’t be an early boot, Lydia! She’s shy, but open, she’s got body ink and I love body ink, she’s confident, yet charming, and she loves her family. This is the epitome of don’t judge a book by it’s cover, folks - not all people love the tats like I do, but I find her beautiful. I worry about her hatred of liars and disrespectful people - it might be her downfall in the house. I hope she gets people to see how sweet she is first, than blows them out of the water later on. She’s at the top of my favorite list - and that should surprise none of you regular readers! *L*

Casey:
This could be one of like, 20 different men I’ve met in my home town. The whole DJ by night, the I’m a cool teacher vibe, the rapping and bad whiteboy dancing… it’s all there. I dare say I’ll like him - but not for very long. I could be wrong, but I’ll have to wait to see him on the feeds to be sure. He does hate whiners, which usually means he’ll whine about them, which will make me go UGH faster than anything else. But I’m pulling for the “old” guy!

Mystery Houseguest:
Can’t wait to see who it is!
