I like all of the houseguests except for Jen who appears to be shallow.

This is a fun house, Joe's ghost stories were a riot last night and Jam was hilarious.

Dick is one of my favorites.

Eric "The Mole" I think will do a good job. He does appear to be ADHD or Compulsive Obsessive. He got upset yesterday when the house was a mess and his meds were everywhere. (Surprised he had meds --- thought BB dished them out) The houseguests sat him down and calmed him (did not see that but heard them talking about it)

Overall first impression of the houseguests, for me, one of the best seasons so far. I am sure my opinions will change!

I'm so sick of all of Jen's t-shirts... not sure if that's been discussed yet, but it is getting on my last nerve.

My first overall impression before the show started of the new HG's was the age range. With Kail and Dick being the "seniors" in the age range, I questioned in my mind how much time durability they will have. It seems to me, outside of Jack in BB4, most of the older range gets voted/rooted out fairly quickly.

Since I'm 40-something, I kind of hoped they'd be able to hang in there with the best of the HGs, lol.

I am beginning to get a Maggie vibe from Kail. She sits up in the HOH room and manages to get other houseguests to open up to her with little revealing of her own going on.

I'm also probably in the minority but I don't like the ganging up on Jen. I don't see her as being any worse than some of the others in the house at this point.

I"m thinking the same thing Reiki - I'm wondering what it takes to be that "business owner" She keeps mentioning it in DR - on how rich or accomplished in the business world she is - I think she has a power trip going on... and she's smart enough to get things out of HG, but I dont think she's smart enough (Power trippin HOH) to stay in the house... and I want to like the 40 somethings they put in the house!!

I'm getting the same Maggie vibe from Kail and not liking it. I still can't figure out why she keeps saying she can't wait until the HOH is over and she can go down and mingle with the others. Why doesn't she get that she can go mingle with the others? Sure she sleeps in the HOH but she isn't confined there the rest of the time. From what I have seen, she seems to kind of keep her distance even when she is around the others. And is the screen really not working or does she not want others to know and is she secretly watching when nobody is in her room? She comes across really sneaky to me lol.

My 1st impression of Kail was "oh no - not another Maggie"

I'm glad others are finally seeing it.

Maggie, like her or not, played a spot on game. Even when her game was exposed, no one on her side would go against her. I did not really care for her but I could not believe how she got people to do her bidding. Even the other side. I loved how she would evade questions but demand others answer hers. Why did they do that ??? Too funny in retrospect.

Does anyone else think Jessica sounds like Holly from BB5? Eww! That whiny voice.

I'm getting into this thread a little late...I don't have too many definite opinions yet except for Jen (the crying over the picture and the whole monologue about how she's a "cool nanny" etc was a REAL turn off) and Jess, whole I referred to as "Elle Woods" the first time I saw her with the matching dress and headband (Jess! The 1990's called and they want their outfit back)and the outdated valgirlspeak. I am also so done with young women coming on the show and expecting people to step aside and let them win because they "need" the money. If this is the best idea they could come up with for providing for their families...its a pretty risky proposition. Especially for Amber, since she has no discernible game strategy apart from "pity me"

That is so funny, Reiki. I posted the same thing this morning in the Live Feed Happenings Thread. It occurred to me that she has the guys doing her work for her. She tells them to get committments from people for a week or two, etc. while her hands stay clean. Also, she mentioned she wanted to keep the emotional people, like Jen, around for the jury. She could very well want to keep Jen around so as to be next to her at the end, knowing no one likes her.

Regarding Jen, yes, she has her faults, but she was truly trying to help Carol when she told her not to mope, as the mopers/cryers went home. Her words just come out wrong and everyone (except Carol) has been attacking her. I feel Jen is more honest than some of the players there, but of course, that is not a good thing for BB.

I can't help but like jen, her crying jag over her pic was the funniest part of the show last night.
Is jessica really that dense or is she putting us on?
Eric needs to take some time to chill out.
I want to dislike Kail but with all the fluff in the other womens heads its hard to write her off.
Some of these people are playing way to hard for the first week.

I havent watched the live feeds yet, just cant get into these people yet. But so far:

Dislike:

Kail
Jessica
Joe
Eric

Beginning to like Dick but I walked out of the room when he started his name dropping. Jen is a drama queen and dont see her lasting very long. I like Danielle from what I have seen on the show only. I like Dustin and hope at the very least he lasts longer than Joe. Ideally, I would like to see Joe and Dustin put up next week and Joe evicted.

I too haven't opted for the live feeds yet...kind of waiting to see if I really get into this group. With only two shows I'm not sure yet as nobody has come forward that really interests me. Maris' comments are pretty much right in line with my thoughts so not much point in repeating. I did see Dick and his name dropping and thought it was a bit much. Also thought Jen was way too upset about the picture and it only made my wife and I think she's looking to a "show biz" future....like as if that will happen.

I wasn't listening to her and Eric last night, but I'd have to say I like Jess better than Amber. When she's with Dani, though, they act like they're 14.

Ok I suppose I'm gonna get a lot of grief for saying this but,
I think I was spoiled by the magic of Janelle, Kasar and some of the others the past 2 seasons and so far I just don't see anyone in this cast that comes close to measuring up. I sure hope they grow on me.

I always like the weird players (ie Nakomis).

Call me crazy, but I like Evil Dick, Dustin and Eric. Each one has zany qualities that make them fun to watch

Unfortunately, I've managed to miss huge portions of both shows and watching live feeds has proved about non-existant until this afternoon so I'm T-R-U-L-Y uninformed.

Overall and so far, they're proving more likeable than I'd thought they would. From my limited knowledge, I've got to say Jen is far and away my least favorite but I can't pick a true fav yet but Nick, Zach and Mike might be my front runners at the moment as they seem the most sensible. (can anyone say run-on sentence? -- too tired to edit )

Wow Jhmom. I agree with you.

I'm in love with Evil Dick (thank goodness for his prenom or that sentence would just sound WRONG-- even though I think it in my head and like it when Clio says it)
and I find Eric and Dustin interesting too. (And Nick- just cause he's so (uh) conflicted)

I am so over the Baywatch/Airhead hamsters. Give me someone interesting-- Nakomis, Curtis, Roddy, Will, Janie, Howie

(Now that's a disparate bunch :-)
