This is what I found on the net:


Yat refers to a unique collection of dialects of English spoken in New Orleans, Louisiana. The term also refers to those people who speak with a Yat accent. The name comes from the common use amongst said people of the greeting, "Where y'at?" (Where you at?), which is a way of asking, "How are you?" The Yat dialect sounds similar to that of Brooklyn, New York, natives, with influences from Louisiana Creole French and Southern American English, particularly Older Southern American English. While the term Yat is usually reserved specifically for the strongest varieties of the New Orleans dialect within the city, the term often refers specifically to speakers of Yat, outside of the city proper, and around the rest of Louisiana.

Thanks Typingfool. I was away from the computer and just saw her question. That pretty much sums up what is a "yat."

Reading through the bios and found this on Keesha's: "Her proudest accomplishment is leaving home, moving to California by herself not knowing a sole, and establishing a life for herself." Gotta' wonder if the misspelling is CBS's web person or Keesha's. Cracked me up while still making me shake my head in dismay. }

Good to meet you Antkaki... I live in Gretna!

LOL @ Ketchup. Good job. By the end of the summer, all of us metro New Orleans area members will have you speaking "yat." (And if we are lucky, we'll get you to wear a purple feather in your hair and dangley earrings just like Renny.)

Hmm..."surprised on who they chose"....I will admit, they are taking the "political" angle on this seriously- and AG was right when she said "the game begins before they go in the house"...

Wow! We got their pictures up already!!!
I see a grandpa but I don't see a grandma...

They all look such well behaved people and then after a while in the house some of them become nasty... how's that??

Well, for now they all look ....nice

No one here seems to have commented on the fact that there are 14 picture frames on the memory wall.

Someone else is coming in.

Hey Antkaki, glad to meet another native of the area. I happen to love yats too. Dawlin, there ain't no nicer people in da world than yats. But people, please, just do me one favor? Don't think all people from New Orleans talk and act like yats. Like I said, there isn't anything in the world wrong with them, we just don't all talk that way. If Renny stays around for any amount of time, they all may be yat's before it's all over. Gotta love um.

I'm very excited about the new season, but I also wish they'd leave all those twists alone. They never really work out anyway. The game will be interesting within itself just cramming 13 to 14 people in a house that they're stuck in for 3 months.

I'm also happy to see that we have a diverse age group this time around. Don't think I could've taken another house full of 20somethings and one nutty 40+ yr old who wishes they were still "younger" (I.e.Dick/Sheila). So i'm excited to see the Liberals vs. Conservatives....should make for an entertaining season.

The only twist that I would love to see is that when someone is evicted, they still have to stay in the house. They cannot play for HoH, PoV, and they are out of the game for the final prize. They would have to continue to play for food though. Same with the jury, keep them in there. Let them still play the game, put doubts in peoples minds, stir the pot.

I could imagine how much trouble a sore loser can cause in that house when they have nothing to lose. Muwhahahaaaa!

Zgood...........I just love that idea. Talk to the producers, will ya? Think of the money they'd save not having to sequester them! They could spend that money on extra prizes that the HG can win during the season.

The only thing I would change Zgood is that the evicted hamsters get to eat real food - 24/7.
