They also all look like they are around the same age, with the exception I guess of the father and daughter, but he's an actor. I guess this is one big audition, no dynamics, differences, just people who dislike one another.

This was reported in the Wichita Eagle Saturday June 30th:

WSU student selected to be on Big Brother
Jessica Highbanks of Haysvillle, KS, a member of the Wichita Thunder's dance team, has been chosen to participate in the new season of CBS's reality TV show "Big Brother."
Highbanks, a student at Wichita State University, will join 13 other contestants when "Big Brother 8" premieres at 7 p.m. Thursday.

This was reported in The Wichita Eagle, Sunday, July 1:

Second Haysville native named to "Big Brother"
Carol Journey, a 21-year-old who grew up in Haysville, KS has been chosen to be in the new season of CBS's reality TV show "Big Brother."
She had to forgo her first season as a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader to do it, her father, state Sen. Phil Journey said.
A junior in the University of Kansas business school, Carol Journey will join 13 other contestants, including Haysville native Jessica Hughbanks, when the show premieres at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Not a big jump for a connection for these 2! Haysville is a small suburb of Wichita.

I was wondering if anyone can remember where the web site was that showed some of the bb8 casting interviews ? On that site you could vote for the ones you liked. I'm thinking maybe that is how they picked america's player ???

Interesting that Jessica is on everything BUT the real deal, the Kansas City Chiefs and Carol is the daughter of a Senator and a cheerleader for the Chiefs. I'm thinking there might be some jealousy/resentment towards Carol from Jessica.

Houseguest Samantha?


On TV Guide's "Reality Chat", they had extended interviews with some of this years houseguests.

During this segment, they aired an interview with a woman named Samantha, who was a brunette with an yellow tank top on during the interview.

Mistake on their part, a finalist who didn't get in, or....?????

And if you write down who they showed in this video you have the following:

Men: Dick, Joe, Nick, Mike, Eric, Zach, Dustin -- all the men on the CBS website.

Women: Kail, Jen, Carol, Amb er, Danielle, Jessica, Samantha -- Jameka is missing.

So that says to me, Samantha was replaced by Jameka or Jameka was replaced by Samantha. I guess time will tell if CBS redoes their website. I am leaning towards Jameka replaced Samantha.

I read about that at jokers - not sure what to make of it...an alternate maybe?

I blinked, I guess Jameka was on for 3 seconds of that video....whatever...I am ready for this season to end before it has begun anyways. Reminds me of the XFactor.

Jameka was only on 3 seconds but I could have gone the rest of my life without hearing what she said. Darn..I hope she still stays one of my favs.

I liked Samantha. She reminded me of a more with-it Sarah from BB6.

Here's my new take on them after the video:

Amber/Jen = April/Jen (BB6)
Jessica = Diane (BB5)

The difference is that Cowboy/Nakomis didn't know either existed and was a total and complete shock.

Dad and daughter are ticked off at each other and haven't spoken or had a relationship in a while. A lot of times when there is that sort of rift between family members a simple yet unexpected meeting may be all that is needed to mend fences. Plus the added incentive of the money might just have them put all the hard feelings aside when they may realize if they stick it out together they could have a better chance at the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Stay tuned ;), I guess.

The thing that makes me wonder about the replacement theory is that Jameka and Samantha don't seem like similar "characters", i.e. if they had an alternate for one of them, wouldn't it make sense they be similar in age, background, personality etc. in some ways..? But it was curious that they showed at least a couple different clips of all of them except Jameka who had only the one little piece at the end.

The Dad/daughter thing, it's been posted that they applied to be houseguests together a couple seasons ago, so finding themselves in the house together could bring back happy times for them...

I think it kind of adds to the fun to speculate even if none of it comes to be in the end...

if they applied together a few years ago, then they're probably familiar with the show and the twists - so maybe they set this up - through the questioning, got wind of the enemies twist - gave the appropriate answers...and voila..they're both on the show

Tvwatcher, I'd love that to be the case LOL. It would royally screw up tptb's script. Although they certainly can feign the estrangement.

RNL Exclusive Interview with BB Allstars Winner Mike “Boogie”

RNL: What’s the scoop on BB8?
Boogie: There is a girl on the show I know, she's been coached and expect her to do very well.

Here is the link to the whole interview. I sure hope he is lying !! Some where else very early on he said chill town was coaching a guy and that if the guy got in the house he would win it all ?? Ya think Boogie? With out Will and Erica I don't believe you would have won.

OK, I just watched that video over at Joker's and I think I'd like to watch Samantha over the two girls with the Holly-like voices. She seemed smarter and more interesting. I wonder how she got on that video and what's up with that? The men were dull for the most part. I seriously cannot remember names until I've watched them for a while. Either Dustin or Eric seemed kind of fun. I can't tell them apart yet. I think they are brothers who hate each other as part of the "twist". I'll come back and discuss these people when I can make more sense.

OMG!!!!!!!!!

Just when I thought I couldn't dislike this year's cast anymore prior to seeing the show, I went to the Joker's interview link to check out this Samantha person.

Did you all "like" notice how "like" most of the girls are "like" very eloquent about "like" discussing "like" how they are.

SOMEONE "LIKE" SHOOT ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the other BB sites managed to interview Alison the producer, and they're going to pust some stuff tonight, including what the deal is with that 15th person Samantha (my guess? She got spooked during sequester and quit, and one of the others is a replacement)

I suspect this may not be completely new news but I checked on of all things "Ancestry.com" database and there is 2 public record listings for Jameka L Cameron in MD. One is is in Chapel Hill and also list's a Johnnie L Cameron who is the age to be her father. it lists her Birthday as July 1978. A second listing also for Jameka L Cameron is in Waldorf, MD. The first listing has and address and phone number which of course should remain private. The second also has an address but no phone number is listed. I'm pretty sure this is the right person.

Love all the investigation and research on the new cast. It's always fun to see what get discovered once the names are released.

I hear that it is Jennifer that has been coached by Will and Boogie. (Janelle said so)....they said "watch for the girl with a slogan on her shirt".....I think she had JENIUS on it...they supposedly coached her to act like Janelle....but think Like Chilltown. (think she would be a poor imitation of Janelle)

Why can't Boogie keep his paws off this show? He was horrible last year and just the fact that he won was disgusting enough, let alone he'll be indirectly involved this year?

Sadly, after seeing some revealing pics of Jen, I could see her knowing a guy like Boogie.

ETA: Scooter, you are hysterical today.
