Big Brother Craze

A new poster over at Joker’s Updates has posted what they believe is the cast list for Big Brother 8. It’s also been posted at TV Grapevine. This post quickly grew legs and has spread all over the ‘net.

Before getting to the list itself, let’s take a quick look at the credibility angle first. While the poster is new to Joker’s, he’s apparently been posting for some time at Survivor Sucks, which is well-known for spoiling Survivor cast lists. On the other hand, he says he got a “few minutes glance” at the BB cast list, then at the bottom of the post he says, “don’t ask how I got it.” Unless he was taking notes, it’s hard to imagine that he remembered all of this information after a glance. Plus, leaked cast lists happen all the time and they’re very rarely accurate.

The list contains 14 slots, which could mean 14 houseguests. It could also include the alternates that are to be sequestered with the houseguests in case one of them disqualifies themselves before entering the house. (Remember Brandon from BB4?)

So, without further ado, here’s the list, verbatim, that was posted:

Tara Bourke - young good looking has an extremely nice body — youngest houseguest
Tiffany Dalton - oldish black woman
Rodger (No last name)- older Asian male. Teacher at some school.
Carol Ricardi - older woman (mother figure)
Gabby Ngyugen - young Asian girl. huge smile.
Amanda Adams - late twenties blonde woman. looks like some celebrity. Former cheerleader apparently?
Mitchell “Mitchy” Vance- Good looking younger male.
Robby Williams or Wallace - young very young. apparently is apart of some organization group for gay teens.?
Jared Pfifer - good looking….Spanish?
David Mertz - Good looking man in his forties
Andi (no last name) - blonde girl early twenties
Morgan (no last name) -older gay male…possibly not gay?
Melanie (no last name) - no information. I’m not even sure if she was a final houseguest as she had no number just a name and a location where she lives. Florida.
Unidentified male - Couldn’t find anything about this guy (possibly no 14th houseguest?) There was a blank spot for him on the sheet with a number….but nothing else.

The poster also goes on to mention that the twist of high school enemies is looking more and more likely to be true, as several pairs of cast members went to the same high school. The ones he noted are:

David and Carol know each other or did…
Robie and jarred know each other or did….
Mitchell and Amanda know each other or did…
Gabby and Tara know each other or did

I’d love to know what you think! Is this cast list authentic, and if it is, what do you think of the diversity and descriptions of the potential houseguests? Leave your comments below, or drop me an e-mail through the “contact me” link on the right.

Update: Casting queen Robyn Kass has seen the list and denies that it’s accurate. She told Live Wire, “I find the internet very amusing. No one on our cast is listed here AND I never even interviewed any of these people- completely made up, but interesting!” Because, of course, a network casting director would never deny something if it were true. Ahem.
