From what I've read at the CBS site most of the women with the exception of the L.A. contestant(Lisa) plan to start off sugar and spice and then topsy-turvy with themselves topsy and the rest turvy. Danielle thinks she's going to pull off a Vecepia win but she's sooo wrong. I forgot who's the one from Wisconsin but what I read made me think Tammy from S4. I think Roddy is sharp but they might go after him first because he's too formidable. Gerry is going to have to really rein in his teacher instincts if he hopes to have a prayer.

Good insight Jadeygurl39 on Lisa...."confident on the outside but not on the inside"....I think she could be very confident right now, but she may not have a clue what she's gotten herself into...think she'll lose confidence at a rapid speed playing against HG's who know what BB is all about. I could be wrong, who knows, maybe she's a stronger person than I thought. I honestly am dying to see if she's real on the show, or an exagerated version of herself.

Surini,

Be prepared to be shocked. There was an article somewhere that stated that little things become huge in the BB house. Those of us DIE hard fans know that it is SO true. Expect to see Lisa like you've never seen her... her flaws and faults will be magnified 10 fold and if she has a temper.... well... it could get interesting... no temper, but has a mouth... EVEN BETTER! LOL

In other words... be prepared to be shocked!!!

But also feel welcomed to share how she "really" is to us who don't get to see her in the "regular" world.

After seeing the Early Show Clip this morning I just want to change my opinion of Lori and YES I do see a Nicole reference. She will be one of the first 3 gone or she will crack.

Iceprincess, I knew you'd come around!

I just re-read my post on this thread and am happy to say I feel I was right about a lot of the HGs, I guess profiles and gut instincts count for a lot. If you go over to the CBS Early show thread, Ryn has posted a link for those of us who didn't get up early this morning and it is good quality, about 3 mins or so, very revealing!

Go Roddy!!

Ok second opinions LOL based on the Early Show, which I think revealed alot more then the promos.

Well based on the promo's I really like her, but after seeing her blubbering on the Early Show I thought Oh DEAR GOD shut her UP!!!! Someone call the wahmbulance please...LOL

My opinion of Josh was enforced. He is definately a nerve getter oner... LOL is that a phrase or what. Very volitile almost reminds me of Mega. Rednecks, religion, wonder if homosexuals were cut out of his quote...

Danielle, well...no offense to anyone, but I see her using her religion to her advantage and making excuses for her lying and cheating. Being as fake as ones implants do not make a good christian. But does make for good entertainment...LOL

Gerry...ehhhhhh I don't like him much anymore.

Tonya...Cherry Poptart anyone. I think that is what I am gonna call her from now on.

Jason...Not many of this kind left. The lady that gets him will be very lucky.

Lisa...I like her more and more...especially the lazy part. I wonder if she will ease into that.

Roddy...Another one I like a lot.

Amy...2 words GO HOME

Eric...2 words WILL WANNABE

Chiara...I like her but don't think she will last.

oops...first one I am talking about is Lori.

Iceprincess,

I had the same impression when I read Eric's profile. It will be intresting to see if he tries the same schemes as Mean Dr. Will.

After watching the Early Show preview, I have to say that my opinion of Roddy improved, even though I already thought I'd like him. He's much better looking than than I thought. :) And he does come across as intelligent (in terms of how to play the game) but a nice guy.

Josh I dislike more than ever. I want him gone first. I hope that Danielle yells at him. A lot.

Jason...*sigh* Need I say more? I'm glad that everyone else is taking dibs on Roddy. I can keep Jason all to myself that way.

I think Lori will be way too emotional to stay long. She doesn't seem as hard-edged as Nicole, so I don't think she'll be able to scrape by 'til the end like Nicole did.

Eric doesn't bother me that much. Yes, Will wannabe. Eh. It's hard to dislike him when there's people like Josh and Amy in the house.

You know, I have this big that the mean people in the house will gang up on the nicer, more naive people and get them booted. lol - but hopefully it'll just wind up like Chilltown did. Some interesting types around towards the end, but the nastiest going early. :)

Move over Muse... we're going to have to share Jason!! You can't have him all to yourself! :)

I hope I'm not intruding on all of you slobbering over one or another stud. Perhaps when you see them with all their warts, you'll be able to be a bit more rational--and then we'll be able to take you out in public!

Now, here's my initial take after watching the CBS video clip:

The biggest surprise is Lori--she has nothing to cry about yet and she's already blubbering more than Bunky, Nicole, Hardy, and Autumn combined.

Lisa has a mouth almost as wide as Julia Roberts's. She looks like she could be fun to watch. I hope she has something interesting to say.

Even after seeing them on the clip, I can't tell the difference between Eric and Roddy.

Looks like we have another Brittany Petros--only this time it's a man: Jason. Nice looking guy, but would he give up his virginity on Big Brother?

It seems that many of you have already made a negative decision about Josh. I think he may turn out to be an interesting spark in this group. Obviously, he's an East Coast liberal and not afraid to give his opinion. He's now the most intriuging of the bunch, and I can't wait to see how he develops.

Is Danielle another Vecepia Towery?

It appears that Amy knows she's shallow. That may indicate some hidden depth!

Marcellas does not appear to be much like Bunky, for those of you who may think that all gays are cut from the same cloth.

And along that line, Gerry seems quite different from last year's "old man."

Though not as flashy as the other women, Chiara could prove to be a real surprise. So far I like her.

Tonya. I don't know if she'll be a floozy or a classy broad, but there is something sweet that comes across.

Feel free to disagree with any of the above. These imressions are based on so little information, and I'm not married to any of them--the imressions, that is!

In my message above, somehow I twice left out the "p" when typing the word "impressions."

They all seem like model types to me, except the older guy. What's with that?

Iceprincess

Monday, July 08, 2002 - 05:47 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Enbwife,

I agree, however, good looks sell, just ask Julie Chen who reported on it this morning. Something about sweet tooth and eye candy talking with Arnie.

I just have to say, for those of you who think you have Lori figured out...Well I think you're gonna be surprised :) She might be reminding some of you of this Nicole person, but I think you'll find she's a personality all of her own. Hope you all get to know I like her like we do, here in Superior WI!

Wow, many interesting conflicts!!! Great to watch! Whoo!! I'd would like to see one woman to be a winner for this summer! No men this time! Sorry! Too bad!!!! So, I choose Tonya, Danielle, Chiara and Lisa to be my BB powerpuff girls for this summer! YAY!!!! So, one of these BB powerpuff girls MUST be a winner for BB contest!!! Go, BB powerpuff girls, go!!!!

Ok, my impressions:

Amy - Oh, my heck! She's just a Barbie doll! She wanted to be like Jamie from BB1. Probably, she will exit the front door in the next few weeks later.

Roddy - What? (Scratch my head...) He reminded me of a big leader, Hunter from Survivor. He's just a copycat! A wannabe!! Phew! Hey, BB powerpuff girls, be sure to bag his face and push him out of the front door!!!

Danielle - Neat physical! Tough and valiant girl! She will be so interested to watch dealing with Josh and Marcellas because her religious beliefs. What will she think of Marcellas being a black gay? and Josh being an atheist? I think she will respect their different opinions. She can handle other contestants well. She must work hard to grab HOH so she would vote the guys out!!!! LOL!!! My prediction is that she will be a second winner!!!!

Lori - She's too giddy and very emotional girl just like Nicole from BB2! She will be gone, anyway!

Eric - I don't care about him! BB powerpuff girls, watch your back! Be sure to kick him out before he would make you lose your contest!! He's a dirty, crazy and wacko guy just like a pug from BB1!!

Gerry - Surprised! Hmm, he reminded me of Paschal from Survivor. Ok, BB powerpuff girls, you may enjoy him there for a while but be sure to let him go home so you could have a chance to win the contest!!!

Chiara - She's a cool good player! She won't sleep with anyone in the house! She might get along well with others. She needs the women support to keep her stay in the house longer and focus to vote the guys out! Hey, be best BB powerpuff girl!

Marcellas - Oh, he's too gayyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Of course, he's black! LOL!! Well, he is so luck to play the game! Yeah, he's so fun to watch! He probably will end up enjoy cutting the contestant's hair!!!!! LOL!!! He might like to be around with hot women!! He has a big shining teeth and huge smile!!!! I know he won't make to the end! I think that he can handle his sexuality better than Bucky from BB2 did. He will tell them right away and not shy about him.

Jason - He looks so pretty boy! I suspected that he has some religious beliefs, too. He proclaimed himself that he's a virgin. Very interesting to watch him dealing his beliefs but he must be get out very soon!

Josh - Oh, what I say about him? A big crummy boy!! He will try to show how huge hairy he is!!! He will face big conflict beliefs problems in the game! I have to say that he must be first to get out!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!

Lisa - She's another great girl to play! She loves to be a evil, liar, attention getter and even maybe dare to show her hot body to the men! She's young but I am sure she will stay in the game as much as she can! Hey, be sure to stay being a BB powerpuff girl and vote the guys out first!!!! LOL!!!

Tonya - She's my favorite houseguest!! She will be a winner for this summer!!!! Even though, she has five children. She must forget them for only three months, and let her hubby, and her friends take care of them as she must focus her important game and follow the gold line to be a winner!! I hope she did well-prepared, very strong, good wise and best awesome player!!!! Plus she must remember that she should not be like Karen from BB1!! Never!!!! All righty, Tonya!!! Go, BB powerpuff girl, go!!! I am rooting for her!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


U rock!!!!

I am really glad bettyjv just posted. There is honestly no way for the audience to know the context or motivation for her quote. The interviewer tries to hit sensative spots to see the HGs reactions. This is what they are picked for. I actually think she will be able to hold herself together just fine though. Something just reminds me of my mom when I look at her? maybe it was the crazy face onthe promo..lol i just loved that! :)
Harrison
PS dont you remember you all had similar reactions to my mom last year. Very negative at first.

I want to read all of your impressions but the bed is really calling my name (must get sleep while I still can since, well, you all know why!)...

Okay, in order of the clips on Early Show:

Marcellas - I like what I see! I think he will be GREAT! Please, please, please do not turn out to be a total gay stereotype - I love what I see so far. I would totally be friends with this guy. When I read what he said in text (THANK you to the person that transcribed this morning!) I wasn't impressed and thought, "oh geeeze!" but watching, as always, totally different. Like this guy!

Chiara - I think I will like her.

Josh - GET HIM OUT NOW! NOW! NOW! He annoys the h*ll out of me already and I have heard him say little. BTW, again, I haven't read the first impressions that folks have posted since the airing of this clip so it may have been said already (I promise, I will read the posts in the morning!) but, is it just me or does anyone think that maybe HE has a little secret? Like, his sexuality? Hm.

Danielle - I like her. Like her a lot and would love to see her go all the way based on the brief clip. I think she will be interesting to watch. I can't see her taking any crap off of anyone.

Lisa - she may come to annoy me down the road but for now, I like her a LOT too. Like her, like her. I think she and Danielle are gonna be fun to watch. (I wish I could have the feeds!!!!)

Gerry - ooooh, I like him too! I think he will be really interesting.

Eric - fine looking young man! I think it will take a while for him to get on my nerves. May never happen. Unless he gets in the way of my two FAVORITE boyz for now... hee. Nothing really to take away from his clip really, just that he is rather attractive and doesn't seem to be just eye candy. Hoping that is true!

Tonya - Ger her out! Get her out! Get her out! Now, that said, it may be that CBS is doing this to her. Why? I have no idea, but I don't like the way she is being protrayed in this short clip AT ALL. Yuck. I don't like her. I hope that she shows me something different in the house, but right now, I still say, GET HER OUT! (please, there are two that must go first but get her out soon).

Amy - darlin, you may be a Southern Girl but you make me ashamed to admit it! GET HER OUT FAST! She is annoying as hell. I don't like her. I want her out possibly even first based on this clip, maybe even before Josh. I cannot tell you how she annoyed me! (yes, all of this in a 3 min clip, lol)

Jason - YUMMY! I didn't expect him to do a thing for me from his photo, cute but, eh. However, I am sorry, shallow, shallow, shallow, Wyndie - but, yummy! and I like what he has to say, even if he is saying that he broke down and went against this, I still respect that it was even something he considered when precious few even THINK about it anymore. *sigh* I will leave that commentary out of it really, just that it made me like him.

Now, finally, RODDY... oh, baby, baby, baby, I likes I what see. Sorry, totally shallow again... please, please, don't let me down! Neither one of them, Roddy or Jason.

I was referring to lori in my quote:) I forget to mention her name. lol

Wyndie

Monday, July 08, 2002 - 09:58 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
ooops, forgot Lori - can we get her out quickly too?! I was not impressed.

one more thing, because I just read sherball's post above my own - yes, I do remember! I didn't dislike your mom at first but there were ppl that I did dislike and came to like quickly. I am sure that my opinion will change drastically even in the first two days of this show. Knowing this, I almost didn't post to this thread but then thought, hm, just for my own amusement it will be fun in two weeks or so to come here and see how off target I am with my first impressions! Should be interesting. :)

I know they are really playing something in that clip to get us going - I really wish I could afford the feeds so that I could see the entire story, what CBS doesn't choose to show during the actual shows.

MUST GO TO BED! g'night all...

Sherball - I agree - Lori reminded me of your mom as well :) And I agree it was from the way she said "bring it on" at the camera and laughed in the 1st commercial :)

I hope Lori gets more of a chance though!!

I agree - the clips are geared to get a reaction, most are taken out of context and very hard to tell what the REAL question was.

Hello...just wanted to introduce myself, and give some first impresssions. My name is Serene. :)

I'm farely long winded so hold on, ignore some of my remarks, some are inside jokes. :)

There are rightfully three categories that I put each houseguest under: Don’t Like, There Okay, I LOVE em.

Alright let’s get this show on the road.

Amy: Oh my goodness, can we say shallow, wait, wait better yet can we SPELL it because, come on let’s make it as hard as POSSIBLE here. This girl has NO substance. I mean when you put one of your HOBBIES down as putting on makeup. You get NO sympathy from me. Don’t Like.

Chiara: Nice girl, very down home. I get the feeling she is a VERY sweet person. Which may get her into trouble. Has the ability to lie low and seep through the cracks. Although her inability to lie might cause her some trouble, she’ll be one of the ones that change the most. I LOVE em.

Danielle: Ya just gotta *NSYNC a sister. HAHA. I love her…she isn’t afraid to lie and to cheat to win this game. She’s funny beyond believe and she has a level head. I have a feeling she is gonna know EXACTLY how to play this game. And if people don’t read through that, she should go far. I LOVE em.

Eric: Ehh…I don’t know, I’m sort of getting an ehh feeling from him, didn’t really GRASP much from his bio. Except that he has some WEIRD sleeping problem. Talking, walking, things of that nature. I might start to like him but for now he’s not really doing it for me. There Okay.

Jason: Whoa…so BESIDES the fact that the boy is eye candy. He’s a VIRGIN at 25. GOD freaking bless America. Seriously, he seems like a really sweet guy, very innocent, can get along with anyone, and did I mention he’s hot? Hmmm…he can fly under the radar as well. He might start out a little uncomfortable but by first nominations he’ll be fine. He’s one of my personal favorites. I LOVE em.

Gerry: Well…he…he’s sorta…well…OLD. It boggles my mind why they always put ONE old person in. He better be ready to really conversant his way through things. Not take the immature things that the rest of the houseguests do, to heart. He also may grow on me, he seems like a FUN LOVING old guy. But you never know. There Okay.

Josh: DEAR lord, can we say PAIN in my ASS. I can’t stand him already, seriously, he was a lot of nerve. I cause they had to have one OVERLY obnoxious, stupid person on the show…look here, his name is JOSH. And it pisses me off cause I like that name. For one he’s ATHEIST, and he just seems like the kind of person who is EXTREMELY homophobic. And there’s a gay man in the house. His voice is annoying, his face is annoying. Yuck, Blah, Ewww. Don’t Like.


Lisa: Oooh girl, you SO pretty. I think she’s gorgeous, and she seems like one of those gorgeous people who would really have a good personality. She may not be the smartest person, but based on this game and the manipulative sides of it. I think she’ll do well in the game if she keeps her wits about her. Might get snappy, might get bitchy, but HEY. If she does MORE then once she’s definitely about third to go, but if she keeps her head and bites her tongue. She should be fine. Oh and I suspect/hope there is a romance between her and Jason. Hehe. I LOVE em.

Lori: Hmmm…I thought she seemed like a really sweet person. I have a feeling though that she’s gonna miss her kids QUITE a bit, and be really shocked at how people will act in this game. And how SHE will even act. I think she’s the really EMOTIONAL female of the houseguests. I kinda have a soft spot for her so I think she’ll be okay if she doesn’t let the other houseguests know how home sick she is and gets ALL her crying out in the red room. I LOVE em.

Marcellas: Ahhh…I love him. I think he’s someone in the house that I will truly adore. He is SO funny. He has a great personality, and I hope that he beats Josh’s ass. Anyways, I hope he doesn’t get stereotyped just because he’s black and gay. I think he’ll play the game smart and be some comic relief for everyone. I loved his Phantom Phone rings. That was soooo cute. I LOVE em.

Roddy: He’s a good looking 30 year old. You can tell he has brains behind him and that he has a strong game plan going in to the game. Which is KEY, I think he is one of the players that may have it together enough from the beginning to go far. Although I think he might talk a little much. He’ll have the hots for Tonya, and she’ll feed it but I don’t think MUCH will happen between them. I LOVE em.

Tonya: She’s a cute chick. And I mean, can we say superwoman…geez, she has five kids. And I think she’ll play on the heartstrings of the guys, and I think the guys will love it and not think much of it. But it’s an interesting strategy. If she can stay out of some of the other women’s wrath, I think that she will do a FINE job in this game. And HELLO she’s a SACRAMENTO KINGS fan. Go girl. I LOVE em.


I’m picking three different people who I THINK will win, just because if I pick one it will probably never happen: Danielle, Lisa, Roddy

Three people I WANT to win: Tonya, Jason, Marcellas

Although I found Jason appealing at first (although IMHO that funny bit of whisker between his lip and chin does NOTHING for him) I have to say that as a {ahem} somewhat older woman, I just feel completely wierded out about drooling over a 25 year old virgin. Just kills the interest for me. I hope it's not really true!!

Any word on whether the hot tub is back this year?
