RealityBBQ has posted the following: The assumption is that I’ve been able to post this because the HG are now in sequester or maybe even in the house - assumption, and you know what that makes me, right? The casting is going to have a slightly conservative vs. liberal angle. A recently divorced Koren-American tomboy. A 35 year old gay rodeo cowboy who’s a bit prejudiced himself. A 25 year old who doesn’t consider himself a bartender. A 53 year old New Orleans socialite. A 31 year old who’s from a predominantly white neighborhood, she’s a black mother of 3 and an Obama supporter in Bush country. She has a pair of rare twins. The son of a Pentecostal preacher. A 24 year old teacher in an all boys Catholic school. He would move out of the country if Hillary were President. …and a few more. Thirteen in all. Don’t want to give you all the secrets! -*- Here are all the names: Renny Dan Steven Michelle Libra The person most likely to be an early target: Jesse (Jessie?), 22. Ollie Jerry, 75, is the self professed biggest Big Brother fan in the world. Everyone will love Jerry! Memphis Keesha, 29, blond bombshell who works at Hooters. Reminds us of Danielle D. Angie April Brian If people are wanting another winter BB, the summer BB’s ratings better be huge. Season X is short by a couple weeks but that’s dependent on ratings as well. Props to CornerOfficeX!

Sadly, the biggest fan of BB is 75 and will probably be the first one to go because of his age.

I'm glad not everybody is under 30. Doesn't CBS know that there are other age groups that love Big Brother? I have seen every Big Brother aired, and I've subscribed to the live feeds and to Showtime for Big Brother After Dark. If all they have this summer is T and A, I'm done.

Thanks, ladytex. The statement I found most interesting in Robyn's interview is that there are 13 guests, but there will be 16 evictions.

I am so used to Alison's definition of interesting, the first thing I thought of when I read "rare set of twins" was -- an unusual set of implants.

I can't wait to see who is the New Orleans socialite, since most of the ones I know of wouldn't be caught dead on a reality show.

Well if she's right- maybe we'll get some intruders for once (the one thing that's never happened on USBB is they've never introduced totally new players mid-game...)

Wilson, I for one like that idea. It would totally change the game.

I'd like that idea also. The only other reasoning would be that people would be voted back in from time to time. I didn't like that when it happened in the past, I'd rather have intruders.

So is there any ideas about what they are talking about when they say they will be 13 houseguests but 16 evictions?

Teenangel, people may be coming back and going out through a BB revolving door of evictions! But, i like wilson's idea: intruders! Now that would be Fun!

BB Australia had a Grandma on the show this season, although only 52. The first night they had the whole house sleep in the backyard until they evicted someone. They ended up kicking out the Grandma. But then Big Brother knowing they would do this, convoluted a way to get her back in the house and has been there ever since and probably has the best chance to win now. Won't happen in the US game unless the fans vote, but perhaps they can have a way to get the old guy a second chance when they do kick him out in the first two weeks.

I don't like the idea if someone gets evicted then they get too come back.. It just makes that week a waste of an HOH like the way they did Ryan last season when James was evicted and then he came right back in.. If thats the case then ever who was HOH, they should get to try for HOH that very week again.. I have always thought that you should get to try for HOH in consecutive weeks.. You can win immunity on SURVIVOR every week so why not BB..

I think they are trying too hard in finding hgs. I watch the news when I want to hear about politics. Which has been more than enough. I watch BB when I want to to hear about everything else. It is my summer guilty pleasure. Dont care for the whole political angle thing. They just need to get a bunch of people and throw them in the house. Then see what happens. They are trying to hard to find hgs that cause conflict.

I like when they had a "America's Choice" ,like 2 evictions later and we were able to vote Kaysar back in.(not that I voted for him..LOL)..I DO NOT like the revolving door concept however.And I think we should go back to more Americas Choice.(NOT americas player)..Just my opinion

LOL, I confess that is exactly what I thought.

In another thread, I posted a piece I "lifted" from another board. In it, one of the things it said was this: This twist has been held very close to the vest and as a result it's too risky to leak it all (I know, I'm sorry!) but I can tell you this much: it twist involves mirrors and a "disappearing room." Perhaps the first few evicted HGs are placed in a room within the house but continue to play the game in some way in which they all come back in. When you do the math about this, with 2 staying as finalists, that would mean that there are five extra evictions. That might mean that the first five might actually ALL come back in. Just a thought. Also, about the "rare set of twins"...it might mean a rare set of animal twins, like mini horses or something. I also hope to high heaven that this BB is NOT focused on politics. I've more than had my fill of politics. I want some FUN!

Houseguests to be revealed tomorrow (July 8th) on the Early Show; tour of the new BB10 House on Entertainment Tonight this Wednesday (July 10th). I also read that a tour of the house will be done on the Early Show this Friday (July 11th). I agree - no politics on Big Brother - I get enough of that on TV and in the newspaper.

i would much rather that the hg talk about politics AND religion. These are the two things that you're not supposed to talk about at the dinner table, or in an office setting, or with family members who will disagree with you and hate you forever. This would be more shocking to me than naked HG or HG having sex on the internet. I WANT to be shocked by BB, but not in the way the producers think i do!
