Big Brother Casting Live Blog 6-21-06

By admin | | 6:26 pm | 29 Comments

Tonight, TVgasm kicked off our Big Brother coverage with a Live Blog of the CBS casting special. In a minor controversy, Julie Chen did not utter “but first” AT ALL during the broadcast. What she did accomplish was naming all of the potential candidates from Big Brother All Stars. We are going to put our heads together with Andy Denhart of realityblurred.com to make our official recommendations tomorrow. Until then, you can watch our thoughts on the casting special by clicking the picture above.

Don’t forget you can still participate in our viewer countdown and discuss everything in the TVgasm forums!

It’s going to be a Chenbot summer!

    Let’s hope for the return of Janelle, Kaysar, and Marcellas. If Alison comes back, I will destroy my television.

    There should not be an overrun of BB6, god forbid! And for anyone who thinks Kaysar is so GREAT, remember, like Amy from BB3, your boy got voted out TWICE! If he was such a great player, that wouldn’t have happened! And, as far as Alison goes, you need her to stir up trouble and resentments amongst the houseguests from her season!

    LONG LIVE DANIELLE, the best BB player of ALL-TIME! Bring Back Danielle!

    Season 1- nobody.

    Season 2- Will, Monica.
    Nicole

    Season 3- Danielle, Marcellas

    Season 4- Jee, Alison, Jun, Erika.

    Season 5- Nakomis, Diane, Drew, Jase

    Season 6- Eric (as polarizing a houseguest as Alison ever was!)!

    I too was disappointed there wasn’t a single “But First”. I even said it 3 times where I thought Julie would insert it. Malfunctioning already?

    Overall, I like a lot of the final 20 picked, but I think there’s too many BB6 people and they might all get in just because they’re freshest.

    Here’s my Top 12 in alphabetical order

    Bunky – he cries and cries and cries!!!

    Danielle – strategy mastermind, funny confessionals, and the reason why sign language is banned in the Big Brother House.

    Howie – comic relief and every Big Brother House needs a Jedi

    Ivette – ghetto drama queen!

    James – challenge threat and pretty smart strategic wise

    Janelle – she’s Janelle and I love her for it

    Jase – hated him with a passion, loved to see him get voted out of the house again!

    Kaysar – whatup Kaysar!

    Marcellas – hysterically funny when he went crazy in the house and started talking to his gnome and interviewing himself

    Monica – angry black woman! YES!

    Nakomis – another strategy threat and inventor of the Five Finger Plan which later became known as “back dooring.”

    Will – he’s EVIL!

    REJECTED
    Alison – A is for ANNOYING!
    Dana – just don’t care enough for you
    Diane – nothing special
    Erika – I was rooting for you in your season, but I had to cut people
    George – Chicken George… NOPE!
    Lisa – Under the Radar is boring
    Michael (Cowboy) – if you need someone to manipulate, see Cowboy
    Mike (Boogie) – ugh

    I might be convinced to take Bunky out and replace him with one of the rejects. Probably Alison just for the drama but I’ve had enough with her on Big Brother & Amazing Race.

    I think it would be great to see Bunky and Marcellus together. On the same note having Erika and Janelle together – the two “pretty girls,” would also be interesting. I want Will back because he is eye candy. As for my sixth vote, it’s a toss up between Kaysar, Monica and Howie.

    It’s pretty much a given that the 3 “good” guys from BB6 are coming back on the popular vote (Kay, James & Howie), so that leaves the producers to balance things out with 3 “bad” guys, most likely Will, Jase and Boogie.

    On the female side , it’s more of a toss-up. Janelle is the only one that’s coming back for sure, and I don’t see them bringing back Dana (who?) or Diane. I think the popular votes will go to Monica and Nakomis mainly because they’re good people. The producers will be stuck again having to pick 3 “evil” women and I would guess Alison, Danielle and Ivette.

    Overall, I think if that’s the final cast, it’s a pretty good one.

    I think chenbot robbed you of your glee and excitement everytime she would say “but first” bots are calculating, they don’t have feelings :(

    Anyway, contrary to what someone saw on James’ site, he’s actually still with Sarah, well at least according to this Myspace : http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=31029620

    I cried for joy when I saw the Chenbot. It’s been a long cold year for us BB fans who’ve been disconnected from the Chenmatrix.

    The house looks more garish than ever before – with those neon flame-lights up the walls – it looks like HELL.

    Those CBS bitches teased the Janelle fans by putting her last in the line-up.

    So how does the voting work? It looks like you can just keep pressing someone’s “vote for me” button over and over. People with OCD will have an advantage.

    Anyway, my top 12 are (in order of liking):

    Janelle, Alison, Howie, Erika, Jase, Marcellas, Kaysar, Dana, Will, Diane, Ivette, Bunky.

    Rejects: Danielle, George, James, Lisa, Cowboy, Boogie, Monica, Nakomis.

    In order to get the right “demographic skew” doubt that both Monica and Danielle will get in, ditto Dana/Ivette.

    I was kind of hoping to see Hardy (S2) Amy (S3), Eric (S6). But on the whole it’s a good line-up, whichever way it works out.

    Last night was my idea of the PERFECT night. I had the Chenbot on my tv, TVGASM Chat on my computer and my sister on the phone. It was a trifecta of Big Brother Love/Adoration/Addiction.

    Thanks to everyone who was in chat – ya’ll took my already amped up excitement levels to an all new high!

    I could just cry (like bunky) or shriek (like Ivette) oh hell, I’m gonna go vote instead.

    What Up Kayser!!

    i saw that reality blurred has already posted the collective recommendations (Jase, Dr. Will, Ivette, Janelle, James, Danielle).

    those are great picks, but i think some of them are givens. janelle and will, for instance, are guaranteed to get in the house, whether the public votes them in or not (janelle will definitely be voted in; will might not, but given his ego, i doubt he’d have agreed to participate unless he knew he’d get in the house for sure). i think james will also likely get in with or without the public’s help, since he was such a great liar. the producers will also likely put jase and ivette in the house if necessary, since both are huge drama queens.

    i’m throwing a few votes to diane from BB5–she has a big mouth and an attitude and plays ruthlessly, but she’s still dumb enough to embarrass herself for our entertainment. i also like nakomis, mostly because she is genuine (and genuinely weird) but also because she’s a smart player and i like watching a freaky nerd stand up against arrogant, pretty-boy bullies like jase and will.

    i could easily see james and will forming a ‘remorseless asshole’ alliance and dominating the game. they are about twice as smart as everyone else nominated (with the possible exception of janelle).

    my guess for the full slate:

    1. janelle (my hero)
    2. will (evil genius)
    3. james (a great player and a huge smartass)
    4. marcellas (a fan favorite, also a CBS employee who has probably been promised a slot)
    5. jase (asshole he may be, he’s fun to watch, and he brings out the best and worst from his opponents)
    6. allison (a huge bitch–CBS won’t be able to resist bringing her back YET AGAIN)
    7. kaysar (he doesn’t deserve it, but the fans will put him in for sure)
    8. howie (a crappy player, but his clown act and ‘busto’ rant will probably get him enough votes to make it)
    9. danielle (she has probably been off TV too long to get enough fan votes, but the producers will put her in)
    10. ivette (crying, screaming, talking shit, part sucker and part ringleader of the most hated alliance of all time–she’s in for sure, with or without the fan votes)
    11. erika OR lisa (the producers will pick at least one of these leggy, silicone-enhanced babes to up the T & A/potential night-vision hookup quotient)
    12. nakomis (she authored the six-finger plan to boot jase, and she’s one of the few semi-’real’, non-aspiring actor/model types up for nomination)

    My 6 votes go to:
    Marcellas
    Danielle
    Kaysar
    Janelle
    Nakomis
    Alison

    I would like to see a season where in general people who are articulate and can strategize play the game. Really. I think the game might even be more interesting that way. And as for “good” vs “evil,” you don’t need it when everyone is really playing to win rather than (cough cough) get to vacation in the sequester house.

    As for the anti-Kaysar crowd: he DID mastermind the MOST exciting eviction in BB history. All the rest was Howie’s fault. NO HURRICANES THIS SEASON, PLEASE.

    SO excited! But we have to wait until JULY?????

    And what about Janelle saying she doesn’t like Michael at all! Anyone else fall off the couch?

    How about Ivette denouncing the Nerd Herd. I figured that was coming.
    It was great to see Janey. I adore her! And yes Sparky, I laughed my ass of when she said “And when I got out of the house, I realized I don’t like Michael AT ALL”! Duh- You never did like him, it was simply a boredom hook-up.
    And Just to be clear… if anyone votes Alison in, I will kick your ass. I will fucking slit my wrists if I have to watch her on my TV again…

    SPARKY, there is no way in hell Kaysar should be brought back. He has delusions of grandeur (and a poor knowledge of BB history) if he even believes he is near as charismatic as BB2′s Will, strategic as BB3′s Danielle, or fierce as BB4′s Alison. Come on, while he did engineer Eric’s downfall, he also fell for the “I won’t nominate you!” BS perpetrated by Jennifer! Duh, if she wasn’t a part of the Sovereign PRIOR to your leaving the house, why in the hell believe her two or three days later? Like the poster said before me, KAYSAR IS A TOTAL TOOL AND UNDESERVING OF AMERICA’S SUPPORT THIS TIME AROUND!

    About Will: I didn’t see BB2, so I have no opinion about him but I don’t think past winners should come back.

    LOVE Kaysar. Sorry, sluttywhore. LOVE him.

    Derder: Personal threats plus self-mutilation? Such emotion! Are you sure you’re not just a TEENSY bit in love with Alison?

    I’m usually a lurker here, but I am worried about the voting process on CBS website. Last night, I went to the voting page at CBS and Alison is listed first and her bio was on the right of the page, I guess since she is the first one there. Under each photo of the 20, it says something like, “Vote for Me”, so I clicked on that under Janelle’s photo, but I am worried that I accidentally voted for Alison, since her Bio was the one highlighted when I opened the page. I guess what I am saying is when you go to vote, click on the photo of who you want to vote for, then when their bio comes up to the right, click “vote” over on the bio itself to be absolutely sure you vote for who you think you are.

    No, that’s the whole thing… I totally 100% don’t understand her sex appeal… She is so annoying to me.
    But I will admit that I am a teensy bit in love with Janey…

    DERDER… there is no sex appeal with Alison; her allure has to do with the fact that people either love/hate her determination to make it to the final two.

    BTW, if Marcellas makes it into the house, who will host House Calls: The Big Brother talk show with Gretchen Massey?

    Will Mega from season one should definitely be in the running!!! Will Mega set the tone for how the game really should be played and was responsible for the funniest big brother clips. Remember Eddie’s notorious massage? We really didn’t get enough of Will Mega the first time around.
