Big Brother Craze

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.) This time next week we’ll be watching them 24-7 on the feeds - so this is our first extended glimpse of what we have to look forward to!

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. If they underestimate her, and she can fly under the radar, she may be alright. She’s like Ronnie though, in danger of overthinking everything. If she can keep a handle on that, she could have a good run!

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. He kinda reminds me of the drama club at my high school. Aaah, memories…

Jordan: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107753@kcbs.dayport.com
- my take: She’s a complete novice, she had never seen the show, and doesn’t have internet, but she borrowed her friends laptop to watch it all, so at least she has a little bit of an idea of what she’s going into. She’s definitely one of the populars, cheerleader blond, with a southern accent to boot. She doesn’t seem to be as stuck up as I feared she might be, but she rather stereotypical in that she’s willing to flirt her way through the game. She’s cute, and will probably be long in the game because of it. She’s everything that drove me nuts in highschool. *L* So I’ll have to HOPE she’s amusing on the feeds!

Braden: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107754@kcbs.dayport.com
- He’s a fan of the show and didn’t know about AllStars?! Oh dear. And ya know, he’s not really that great looking on camera. I’m not impressed, at all. (Wasn’t impressed with his nude pictures either. heh.) Aaaaand, true to form, he’s not really here for the money he says, but thinks the exposure could be good. And when he gets the chance to ask Diane questions? He asks her how her morning was, not about the game. Oy. He says that he doesn’t run the myspaces, or anything, that he has a couple of assistants that do it for him, it’s not his thing. Overall - I’m not impressed.

Kevin: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107800@kcbs.dayport.com
- He’s applied since season ONE! Talk about a fan, and you know what, I’m loving him more and more! He’s got a “touch of ghetto up in” him, and he made me laugh through the whole 20 minute interview! He’s awesome, and I agree, it’s about time someone FABULOUS won Big Brother. He’s got a good handle on the fact that he knows he can’t lose his damn mind like most do. I like him. He amuses the hell outa me.

Laura: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107801@kcbs.dayport.com
Ok, so I was all prepared to hate her - even pegged her as Jen (bb8) v.2, what with the bikini and the whole body as a weapon, etc. However, after listening to her here -she is on a higher level than Jen for SURE. She has a good handle on the game and what she’s going in to achieve. She’s ready to leave the emotions at the door, to take down her competition and wants to show a strong female fan of the game can win. I… might actually like her - and you’ve no idea how it pains me to say that! But she’s a fan, and I really think she will go far…

Jeff: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107802@kcbs.dayport.com
He’s our All American Boy this time around! He’s funny and personable and he says that he has no strategy because he can’t until he knows who the people are, and then he’ll go for it. He does say he’s up for a showmance, but only if needed. I like him even more after listening to him. Eye candy, funny, a good read on people, and willing to take one step at a time. Nice - but is he TOO nice?

Casey: http://www.cbs2.com/video/?id=107915@kcbs.dayport.com
AWwww, he cried in sequester on Saturday when he missed his son’s 1 year birthday! Awwwwww! He wasn’t “headhunted” he went to an open casting call. He definitely has that DJ vibe, reminds me of other DJ’s I’ve met - but at least he’s not one with a face for radio. Course, I might be biased as I’m about to turn 40. *L* I don’t see him as a “cleaner cut Evel Dick” like Diane said, but he thinks he’s more the Marvin type, and I can see that. I think he’ll be funny on the feeds, which is a very good thing! He doesn’t like whiners or hypocrites, he likes training, but isn’t obsessive about it - he makes fun of Jen, and that makes me love him a little.

Though he loses points for saying he wasn’t going to “throw her under the bus” - officially our first use of the term this season. Drink up, ya’ll. Heh.
