I agree, if this is the real group, well, they have a lot to prove to me, going from the little descriptions.

and I certainly wish they would get off the theme of people who know/knew each other too.

Definite lack of diversity!! Yikes!

Julie Chen was just on the Early Show and they showed the cast members. The twist is that each HG has another HG in the house that is their worst rival and the person they would least want to see again. (MMM - sounds like Exes redeux). I really wish they would go back to no one knowing each other. This no longer is the true BB where HG are put in as strangers and a social experiment. What is this now - like the 5th season in a row where HG know each other!

And you can almost take each HG and compare them with one other HG from the past. Cookie cutter personalities - meaning they get the same type to play certain "roles".

Oh well will have to wait and see how it goes.

Showtime II will broadcast the house late at night ...like midnight till 3a.m.? Julie said it'll be more innteractive with the viewers through cell phone and internet? Sorry I was brushing my teeth and trying to listen all at the same time.

Hey, I think I know the gay guy from Chicago through a business contact....not 100% sure.

is there anyone in that list that DOESN'T look like a model/actor wannabe??

::sigh::

I'm trying to keep an open mind - but what I'd love to see is a true Big Brother - where nobody knows anybody! And a plain house with limited hot water...no luxuries....earn their food...daily chores....

WAAAAHHHHHH!!!

Per Allison G, Not everyone has an enemy in the house. Quote from the ES this morning, "What's going to happen opening night is some of our houseguests are going to find out that they will be locked in this house with the last person they'd ever want to see walk through that door."

And Mike was on Gay Straight or taken among other things like commercials and catalog work...GRRRRRRRRRRR!!! How many others are looking to break into "the business"....I hate wannabe's!

Perhaps we should all face the fact that the producers choose wannabees. Why? because they are the ones who are easily manipulated to create the storyline BB wants to push.

I guess I am getting old or burned out but I did not find a single contestant that appealed to me.

Would it be so bad to put average people in there instead of human cartoon characters?

I'm actually ok with the cast. What I like best about them is that they are brand new hampsters. As of now, based on pictures, the Early Show snippets, and the limited background info we have, I'm rooting for Kail from OR and Jameka from MD. They are the obvious and typical first and second boots of the season because they may not have much in common with the rest of the cast. Here's to the underdogs... Go Kail! Go Jameka!

Well, when they do put average people in they end up acting like human cartoon characters (does Chicken George come to mind?).

Kail from Oregon is married with kids and is suppose to be super conservative. Probably the most conservative person ever to be on BB.

I don't mind the twists myself. Since i only started watching since season 4 that's all there has been. I tried watching season 2 that i downloaded and was bored to death.

Dick's going to be trouble. His MySpace page is a catalog of lies and obnoxious statements. He claims he's 38 on his MySpace page, but it also says he went to high school from 1978 to 1981. If he were actually 38, unless he's a genius he'd have graduated in 1986. Good thing CBS called him on it, and gives his real age: 44.

This twist stinks. Allison Grodner just doesn't understand this show. Or the fans. We like watching STRANGERS.

But to be fair, when I first saw the photo of Janelle before BB6, I wrote her off as a useless bimbo, and she turned out to be a great player and very charismatic. So it's impossible to judge HGs by their pre-show photos.

Interesting!! There are two local Kansas women in the house...Haysville is just south of here a few miles. I'm guessing the one who has "Lawrence" listed as her city is also from Haysville and she is just currently attending KU.

Bastable, your last statement could not be any truer. I was totally prepared to dislike Janelle from the ads they were showing before the show actually started. Within one week of Janelle being in the house, she became one of my absolute all-time favorite hamsters - to the point that I frequently posted in the "non-lesbian girl crush" thread for Janelle.

Bastable.. will you please post the link to Dick's myspace page? Thank you.

Any other contestants have myspace pages?
