This might be fun. What are some of the things that might make you a candidate for the "We just didn't connect." first eviction? Here are mine. I don't drink. I'm non-religious. I don't warm up to strangers quickly, and tend to make myself disappear in plain sight until I'm comfortable.

I think you and I are a lot alike, Ks. I'd add to my list that I don't have a bikini body! Of course, I couldn't even be cast.

I'm shy and I think your last one KS could definitely be said about me. I might be a bit of a clean freak and I could not sit there in that house and watch grown people leave their dirty dishes lying around or clothes in a pile or doing nothing all day and would have to say something about it. There's plenty more but I think the other biggie would be that having to kids (10 & 13) at home watching my every move would keep me from jumping into conversations about sex and wild party years. Nothing at all that I'd have to explain to my kids later on.

I'm old. I would probably make too many faces when people said stupid stuff. I'm a Realist. But I'm also a good cook, a good listener and I fold a mean load of laundry, so that might buy me enough time to make it to Jury.

I am in my 40s I have children who have children I don't drink I can have a discussion without yelling I know when to keep my mouth shut I know when not to keep my mouth shut I know how to use words properly I am a far better liar than just about anyone I have seen on the show, but telling the truth is much more fun and can have a far more devastating effect. I would know how to say "I won HoH, not you, so get the he** out of my room!"

I'm too likeable/easy-going. Apparently, that's bad now. I don't fall for words and catch on when people switch their stories... I also can't keep quiet about it. I'd trust the wrong person. The guys wouldn't like me 'cause I'd get on with the women. I'd probably pull a prank on someone due to sheer boredom. I'd hang out in the backyard more than in a room, and the current trend is that the backyard dwellers are targetted first.

I don't suffer fools easily even when a half million dollars are at stake. But if I was cast as the old chick I think I'd make it far. If push came to shove I could tine people out and might be able to keep my mouth shut. I like to cook and am creative. I'm not a neat freak but don't mind cleaning. I have a very varied social life and I've met most of these personality types before and have been able to form friendships or at least acquaintances. Plus even though I'd be the old chick I manage bands and am around young folk a lot so I'm use to their immaturity. LOL I have more reasons not to be the outcast.

I would be like Michelle, floating too much and confiding too much... I would vote as I like, damn the consequences. I would be too outspoken, damn the consequences. I would be gone Week 1 or 2.

I don't suffer fools easily...Yep. In addition to a lot of the comments above, I also have a tendency to argue a point to death (granted, with friends) and not "let things go." I am also nonconfrontational and would never be able to *hang* in those huge house blowups. In fact, I am a lot like Michele. Then again, Michele is gonna make jury, at least.

My dd asked me why I don't try to get on BB. My answer to her and to the question "what would make me an outcast/first eviction?" I don't think I'd even make it to the first eviction. I've got a mouth and I'm not afraid to use it. And I've been known to suggest we take it outside...lol If it had been me & Chima instead of Russell, I think she may have gotten what she asked for - 'go ahead, hit me, you know you want to'. Talk about invading someone's personal space! I'd have been close to invading her face. yes, i know hitting is wrong, but sometimes my lesser nature takes over. thankfully i'm older now and it's harder to get me to that point

WOW! All my reasons are taken up...let's check copy and paste here: {Bee} I'm old. I would probably make too many faces when people said stupid stuff. I'm a Realist. {Geri} Too old Too overweight Too judgemental Too outspoken Too experienced Too boring {Duncan} I am in my 40s I have children who have children I don't drink I can have a discussion without yelling I know when to keep my mouth shut I know when not to keep my mouth shut I know how to use words properly I am a far better liar than just about anyone I have seen on the show, but telling the truth is much more fun and can have a far more devastating effect. I would know how to say "I won HoH, not you, so get the he** out of my room!" {IHeartKaysar} I'd add to my list that I don't have a bikini body! Of course, I couldn't even be cast. My children are mostly older (if they aren't all older) than those in the house and I have one grandchild that is a teenager. Gee just gotta face it...I'M OBSOLETE! LOL

I agree with most.. Don't drink but an occasional glass of wine or a beer, but I would pretend I did and just say "I don't want to be greedy". I smoke, so inside lockdowns would piss me off. I'm a grandmother (18 months) but get along really well with 20 and thirty somethings. I would be furious with women who use their bodies for game play. I am not judgmental or homophobic. I have a hard time not giving my opinion. I don't do dishes or laundry (hubby does) but I am a great cook (father was gourmet chef). I have a special education degree and know how to work with hard core kids so the hgs would be no big deal for me. I trust you until you do something that makes me lose that trust then all bets are off.. I have a degree in communications and was a communications director for 5 years with a major hotel chain before going into teaching. All that said, I don't think I'd last til the end since scheeming and lying are very difficult for me.

Marksman, you summed it up for me quite nicely. A friend told me years ago "you just don't like people"...lol Yeah, that combined with what Duncan said, that'd keep me in the house. Did I mention I'm also pre-menopausal?

I keep my mouth shut. You have to be a talker to get on a show like this. I also never listen and never repeat what people whisper in my ear. (I have a kill-the-messenger approach to gossip, and it's served me well over the course of my six decades.) I wouldn't make it to the jury house.

I would retract that.. I don't mind people... but I really do hate small talk. I had a friend way back whom I still envy because he would brutally cut off anyone who started making small talk. Ask him about the weather and he would cut you off. I have little tolerance for small talk, but in BB people need to be humored and massaged. I could not stand listening to them drone on about themselves non-stop. I would nod politely and finally just have to leave. I would get kicked off because I would literally rather be in the corner staring at the wall then talking to half the people on the show, I am sure.

I'm old, NO bikini body I'm not a good cook anymore I don't suffer fools gladly or silently I'm sure I'd be snorting when people said stupid things. I DO warm up to people but probably not people in the house. I'm not religious but would probably try to bring in whatever is the longest religious book possible just to have something to read.

I'm not forgiving enough. Not nice of me but that's the way it is. I carry grudges big time. Just ask some of my ex-friends. I'm a lone wolf who would start out treating everyone with respect. If they lied to me or about me, look out! Grudge city! I'd be evicted week 1.
