I really like that they are all strangers, and that the cast is very diverse in all aspects. It looks like they're going for an "election year" theme with the cast as most of their bios seem to mention their politics and religious beliefs. I'll take that "twist" over convoluted twists involving exes, lovers, and family members.

Okay, thanks Askme, I was furious thinking AG was subjecting us to another one of her stupid twists. I'm relieved to hear that one of the contestants has an unusual set of twins and it is not twins going into the house. (Been there, done that - terrible twist).

Wow!! This cast looks great!! I love the diversity in age - great that there are two people over 50 in the house. As well, they look normal (will I regret saying that?).

I was not going to watch this summer. I just had it with the last few casts. But once again I am getting sucked in. This cast looks good. Nice diverse group. Maybe I will watch and see where it goes. However, I just get the feeling Keesha and Jesse are there to further modeling careers. Just my opinion and yes I know his bio does not mention modeling. I hope Jerry is not first out.

Ok, I'm not as excited as I was. I just noticed that 8 of the cast are in their twenties, 3 in their thirties, one-75,one-53. I'm sorry, it looks like another young group, hooter girl, bartender,body builder etc. I just hope that this group has some brains in their heads, but knowing the people that AG picks, who knows!!! There are only 2 people that are out of the young group. I don't see this as diversified. Same old crap! Keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be any worst than the last two years.

I am excited about this group, and three are from Texas...I am rooting for Jerry already. Just think, they are in the house playing the game already and we are missing so much already!

Not as diversed as I was hoping it would be. They got the token old guy, that I think they brought in to please the audience, but also knew that he will probably be the first one out. Which will probably happen and will suck. I will still give it a shot, but my excitement is gone.

I like Jerry and Renny both so far. I'm ready for this season to begin. Bring it on....... I'm curious as to how much discussion will take place on politics/religion. Conservative/liberal. It will be interesting to see how much some of the houseguests actually know about the issues at hand. Well, hold on everyone, we are about to find out what this season of BB has to offer.

I have a stupid question that I'm not sure anyone can answer. I wasn't going to get the feeds this year, but now I think I am. I'm excited that they are all strangers. Sooo, I'm also thinking of getting an iPhone on Friday. Does anyone have an iPhone and if you do, do you know if I can download RealPlayer onto it? Would love to have it going in the background at work but can't download it onto work computer (for obvious reasons).

I noticed one thing in the house tour that I wonder if they gave away something, there were 2 HOH robes in the HOH room. Anyone else catch that?

Where are you seeing the house? Is it online or was it only on TV?

I liked the kitchen, too. Gurliegirl... I remember watching Housecalls last year and Gretchen had a phone that she would show us having the live feeds, but that's probably of no help to you though. I saw the house on Joker's and also on the CBS web site.

Hey are any Canadians having trouble with the YouTube videos? I tried the CBS links, and the video on the CBS site didn't work, and so I figured I'd try YouTube and it says the video isn't available in my country.

The cast looked alright to me but judging from and article By DERRIK J. LANG , AP Entertainment Writer , many were recruited. That's probably okay but the one contestant that kind of turns me off, by snap judgement only, is Jesse. He is a reality show junky. I bet you anything he tried out for Real World Hollywood for the "joey" spot. He has been on Exposed and Next. Perhaps he will be out first eviction . The rest may be an interesting mix. I am definately looking forward to tuning in Sunday night when the feeds go up !

I'm excited about this cast. The diversity is great. Not just age, but the ethnic makeup is good, too. Most of them seem to have some college and all but three seem to have real jobs, not saying that waitressing and bartending aren't real jobs, but you know what I mean. And I'm a sports fan, so having so many in the house excites me because maybe there will be interesting sports conversations in the house. We just might have some good conversation at night this season!
