Someone on Jokers posted a list that is likely the 12 cast members (plus 2 runners up, I think). One is named Amanda Adams. Here's the raw speculation I posted about her:

I wonder if Amanda Is the one that was on TAR 4. According to this site http://www.tv.com/amanda-adams/person/198211/summary.html (with her birthday obviously wrong) there was an Amanda Adams on TAR4. Her picture and description of age on CBS site, matches this list: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race4/teams/amanda/bio.shtml

Who knows if that's true, however??

ETA: BTW, don't look at the Joker's post if you don't want spoilers on the cast background.

A user at TVGrapevine.com claims that they have discovered the names of the houseguests this year, but has offered no identifying proof. The user also says that some of these people know each other from high-school. Could it be real? You be the judge, or we'll just have to wait and see! More at TVGrapevine.

Tara Bourke - young good looking has an extremely nice body --- youngest houseguest
Tiffany Dalton - oldish black woman
Rodger (No last name) - older Asian male. Teacher at some school.
Carol Ricardi - older woman (mother figure)
Gabby Ngyugen - young Asian girl. huge smile.
Amanda Adams - late twenties blonde woman. looks like some celebrity. Former cheerleader apparently?
Mitchell “Mitchy” Vance- Good looking younger male.
Robby Williams or Wallace - young very young. apparently is apart of some organization group for gay teens.?
Jared Pfifer - good looking....Spanish?
David Mertz - Good looking man in his forties
Andi (no last name) - blonde girl early twenties
Morgan (no last name) -older gay male...possibly not gay?
Melanie (no last name) - no information. I’m not even sure if she was a final houseguest as she had no number just a name and a location where she lives. Florida.
Unidentified male - Couldn’t find anything about this guy (possibly no 14th houseguest?) There was a blank spot for him on the sheet with a number....but nothing else.

Well, the casting director has said that this list is made up. She's quoted as saying: "I find the internet very amusing. No one on our cast is listed here AND I never even interviewed any of these people- completely made up, but interesting!"

Who knows.

well, last year we had it slipped to us as to whom made the ALLstar list. So I tend to believe it could be real.

Uh, hadn't read the verbiage but they note potential pairs too.


quote:

'Big Brother 8' announces cast
CBS show kicks off July 5 at 8 p.m.
By VARIETY STAFFCBS is making "Big Brother 8" more interactive than past editions, plotting a twist in which one of the game's players will be controlled by the whims of the American public.
Net's annual summer sudser, which kicks off July 5 at 8 p.m., has also locked in its cast. It'll once again be a young bunch, with most of the 14 players in their 20s-- and the oldest contestant just 44.

And, in a nod to a past "Big Brother" theme in which players were surprised to find out that their ex-flames had been recruited, this year's cast will include a few pairs of players with unresolved beefs.

The biggest twist, however, is a game element called "America's Player." In a nutshell, that contestant will have the chance to win extra sums of money-- but only if they carry out certain actions mandated by viewers via internet or text message voting. Chosen player might be asked to vote somebody out of the house or something more personal, such as flirting with another player. Eye is hoping the twist will give viewers more of a stake in the outcome of the game, in the same way auds who watch "American Idol" get to shape that competition.

Theme for this year's "Brother" house is "Alice in Wonderland," with a number of eclectic touches throughout the pad (think really big beds and tiny chairs).

CBS has high hopes for this year's edition of "Brother," the Allison Grodner and Endemol USA- produced skein that has be-come a summer staple for the net. Its perf is particularly important this year since the net is launching a new fall lineup marked by some particularly ambitious, younger-skewing skeins-- some of which will no doubt be hyped endlessly during "Brother's" run.

That appeal to youth is evident in the makeup of this year's cast. Half are under the age of 25, with one player below the age of 21. Four players hail from the Los Angeles area, and there are no less than three players who work at a restaurant or bar.

sigh, Every year I ask for a Sean Connery and every year we get ......ZIP..... Sorry but that 44 yr old guy is not exactly what I ordered.

I sure hope it isnt what it looks like. A old guy trying to be hip and young....that pic even looks like he's doing that Hand signal that guys do when they think they're cool.

SIGH

Well JMO, but I'm a bit disappointed that the group doesn't seem as diverse again this year...definitely skewing younger. By looking at the ages and locations, you can almost make some pretty good guesses as to who might have had a difference with who in the past. To site a few: 2 from different parts of Kansas, the same age. Two from Chicago, about the same age. One from MN and one from WI about the same age. Would seem they may have attended school together somewhere. (Though I do know that people move all around the country after high school. :-))

P.S. I had to look twice at Nick. Looks exactly like my boyfriend from HS did. Um...but sure he looks QUITE a bit older these days!! LOL
