I've decided to vote based off of each contestants job title. I want a mix of people in the house. I want them to be able to have conversations or else like in past years I'll only watch the live feeds in the mornings or the fish cam! So here is the list: Alison - Medical Sales (is that another name for the imfamous Pharmacutical Rep?) Bunky - Technical Writer (now with Kaysar being a Graphic Designer .. they might have some good conversations...) Dana - Business Consultant - Depending upon the business... Danielle - Property Manager Diane - Model/Actor (Just "wanna bees" on TV) Erica - Pilates Instructor (good for the exercise tips .. she can lead class and I can get in shape!) George - Hotel Promotions (Does he wear his Chicken Suit?) Howie - Light Saber Sales (I'm not touching that one with a ten foot pole!) Ivette - Waiter - See comment below James - Loss Prevention Manager (Did we figure this one to mean he's a security guard at Walmart?) Janelle - VIP Cocktail Waiter - Comment below may or may not apply Jase - Safety Director (HUH? Whose safety .. his? .. Does he sell car alarms?) ... Kaysar - Graphic Designer - (I just might have to vote for him .. if he'll talk about his job with Bunky) Lisa - Bartender (Could be good when alcohol is provided .. if they'd do more than beer and wine..) Marcellas - Celebrity Stylist (I'd rather he stay out and do the commentary on Housecalls...) Michael - Waiter - See comment below Mike - Restaurateur (Does he really have time to be away from all his "businesses"? ... I still think he wants to act...) Monica - Restaurant Host - See comment below - actually don't think it applies in this case... Nakomis - Restaurant Host - See comment below Will - Physician - We haven't seen him in a long time .. but he won already .. but if there is a space in the house for him.... Restaurant Waiters/Host(ess) - usually equate to starving actor .. I don't want actor's .. I want real people! I don't want people acting the way they think they should to play a part .. I was cast as the crazy one....

Wow .. I really really really feel shunned! ..(LOL! NOT) .. I am away for the day for the most part and no one even made a single comment to my idea.... Well .. I'll just take my list over here in the corner and tear it up into little itty bitty bits .. and then I'll have confetti to throw when Jase doesn't get back in the house! (Or Howie...) ...

I think that would be a good system if we didn't already know them. Don't go making a mess in that corner, I am sure it just got lost. Have you seen the board today? Yowza! Methinks this will be one busy tvch season!

And.....I am not at all sure I would follow Nikomas to a table in any restaurant. I just can't get past the fact that she looks like she just crawled out from a place I wouldn't want to be. (scary)

I can't believe Lisa is still a bartender. She won BB3! Couldn't she use the money to buy a degree and upgrade?

She's still content to float below the radar, I see. Better not vote for her.

I agree. Lisa would be a wasted vote. Not to mention she's already won...and when Dani should have.

I may be betraying my lack of sophistication here, but what is a "VIP Cocktail Waiter?" As in Janelle. How is it different from an ordinary Cocktail Waiter?

the only way I can describe it is by comparing it to what I have seen in Vegas. Basically, a cocktail waitress is one that will serve the masses. The VIP one, is the one waitress they send in the VIP lounge (high rollers), or in strip clubs, the one that goes into the "special room" to bring drinks.

I wonder if Danielle works for a company doing property management or for herself. As I remember from last year Janelle's "uniform" would lead one to believe she works at the strip club. I remember it as some sort of lingerie

Needs -- actually the "hostess/waitress" assumption DOES apply to Monica. Shortly after leaving BB house she appeared in some smaller plays way off Broadway in NY. One of my cyberfriends (a playwright), saw her in one and had coffee w/her afterwards.

Alison - I would guess she has some sort of relationship with an insurance or medical marketing group to act as a spokesperson on teevee or at conventions. She needed a job title, so this is what the BB writers came up with. Bunky - Technical Writer - Bunky, if I remember correctly, writes product manuals for a local manufacturer. Can't remember which one. Dana - Business Consultant - She was a Karate School Instructor for years. I am going to guess that, now she needs her days for audtions and acting class, she "consults" with the owners, who I believe she is related to. Danielle - Property Manager - I think she was, at one time, actually an onsite apartment complex manager. Diane - Model/Actor (Just "wanna bees" on TV) Erica - Pilates Instructor - she hasn't been anything but an actress for many years. The Pilates thing is like being a waitress, it earns her pin money and gets her into homes of the already employed actors. George - Hotel Promotions - hard to say, but probably also a commercial gig. Howie - Light Saber Sales - he seems to do well with this, and is, indeed, a meterologist. Ivette - Waiter - I think she is going to school, too. She was nominated for an award in business school. James - Loss Prevention Manager - we actually learned he was in charge of security systems for a chain of major department stores. Macy's I believe. Janelle - VIP Cocktail Waiter - She entertains VIP guests, but not between the sheets or on the lap. She recently got her realtor license. Jase - Safety Director - Sexually transmitted diseases safety? The last gig Jase had was as a background dancer in a gay bar. Absolutely true. There is a video on the web somewhere, but I can't find my link. Kaysar - Graphic Designer - he is evidentally very good. Lisa - if you look at Lisa Donhue's IMDB page, she is definitely an actress. Marcellas - Celebrity Stylist - he is famous for being famous, and is also a well paid model and style consultant. Michael - Waiter - Look at his IMDB page - he is also an actor. Mike - Restaurateur - recently played a "drunk" in Snoops new movie. Monica - Restaurant Host - worked for her parents' candy store, and was the host of a television program called "Rent Wars" after she was on Big Brother. Nakomis - Restaurant Host - is actually really a waitress. She was working at the Hard Rock in San Antonio when she went on the show, and was still working there when I was visiting earlier this year.

I will say that even the ones for whom IMDB has listings, those "actors," they're not making a living off it. Almost everything they've done has consisted of one-day gigs here and there. It would sooner qualify as a hobby than an occupation. The only way to make money as an actor these days is to be in films or to have a regular role in a series. Bit parts don't pay the rent anymore.

I read that George used to be a roofer and not in hotel promotions. He must have landed that gig sometime in the last few years.

This is the thing I always get so irritated at. Actors! Pick real contestants, or at least try to pick someone who isn't a celebrity in their own mind. Doesn't anyone apply to these shows??????

Elend, since AS got involved he has mixed real people with 'ringers'...actors who will be led 'by suggestions' in the Diaryroom. Each season we get more and more wannabees instead of REAL people. Last season was a good example of more than HALF the cast being actors or in a similar business. Beau-april-jennifer-janelle-Michael-howie-maggie had acted in a play-didnt kaysar and Ivette both talk about wanting to act?? Anyways, my point is made.

He has really ruined this show. If anything else worth watching was on, I'd bag BB altogether. My level of interest and frustration with the show has dwindled each year with all that has happened. Being a BB1 fan and all.

I think the problem with BB getting "real people" is that this is Survivor or one of those other reality tv shows where you might just be gone for 6 weeks or so. This is all summer, three months and probably more with contracted appearances etc. How many "real" people with "real" jobs can take that much time off. Even teachers can't because the last few shows always run into September. So who do we get, people that are wannabee actors that usually have temp jobs to get them through, or jobs like waitressing and bartending which (sorry to offend anyone here) are jobs that are not "career" oriented.

Elend, I share your feelings about BB1. As far as I am concerned it was the best BB, and every once since has gone down in my estimation. Except BB6, which I enjoyed more than any, with the exception of BB1. BB1 was an entirely different kind of show. Some folks prefer that type of show, which was more a study of people and how they interact under those conditions. And some prefer the kind of show it is now with all the competetiviness and game playing, which often leads to lying, backstabbing, and hostilities. And let's face it, during BB1 the ratings were in the tank, much lower than they have been since. Remember how desperate the producers were to build ratings that they concocted a scheme to offer a houseguests $50,000 to leave the house, so they could bring in another hg, a young hottie who promised to shake things up? Problem was, the houseguests were suspicious of the offer and none of them would take it. It was the beginning of the houseguests mutiny against the show's producers. It was really funny, and an illustration of how well the HGs stayed together.

I thought I read that Danielle used some of her winnings to put a downpayment on a house. She used to live in Fairfield, but now lives in Vacaville. After her BB summer, she worked for a gym in Fairfield (I was driving by Fairfield to Vacaville one day and wanted to go find that gym, lol.) If she's a Prop. Mgr now, I'd say she works for a company. I'm confused about what James does now. I thought I read (from him) on a forum that he's doing modeling. He's everywhere and has 3 or 4 sites that all bump you to the other one. He has people volunteering their time to run them. The other night I went to a site on one of our links called it was BB Extra..which turned out to be one of his sites or they are extremely pro James. He stated that he took some friends to a bar where Sarah is bartending to watch the show last week, so she didn't get her job back. I thought James said he couldn't get his back either, which was why he was desperate for he or Sarah to win BB6. I thought Howie's description was a joke, until I read one of the posts above. I can't believe they actually gave him a job. Way to go, Howie!

Bigsister - I just found myself laughing and really enjoying watching the people entertain themselves. Post-BB1 always leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. The hateful people they get really turns me off. It's the only show where I find myself wanting toss the TV out the window, as opposed to the other "reality" shows.
