Schoonie: Well, I think that top was stolen from Alison. Did she maybe leave it in the pot last season? I hear it gets pretty hot in there. Jessica's voice is a bit shriek-y, I must say. Also, I don't buy the whole "I'm loyal and then WATCH OUT! I'M YOUR WORST ENEMY!" thing. She can't pull it off. She's too cheery. I wish it had already been brought-en, though. And I think she might be wearing a house arrest bracelet in the video. Appropriate, or no? You decide. My guess: she robbed a liquor store. When you wear a top that color, it must mean that you're a Crip. From Kansas.


bb_joe.jpg

Joe, 23, is a receptionist from Chicago.

Flipit:"What's gay and has two thumbs?"

gaythumbs.jpg

Uh....you are?

I threw my Diet Coke so hard at the TV, the can looked like I stomped on it. The producers tell us Joe's smart, he's funny, and he's EVIL. And GAY. Really reaaaaaaalllly gay. The guy made me feel both butch, homophobic, and worried. I have a sick feeling that Joe will singlehandedly inspire a whole new generation of gay bashing. Don't be surprised if there's another Stonewall by the end of Summer.

Schoonie: There are no words. I live in Chicago too, so the fact that I've even been in the same time zone as this guy is..disturbing. He's like what would happen if you asked a Republican to draw a gay man. It's...wow. You guys know from my Survivor recaps how much I disapprove of people who become cartoon versions of themselves (Hi, Rocky!). Oh man, get Lisi up in this Big Brother house, please. Do you know how crazy she would go? And it would be easy to find her a rival, because her rival is: EVERYONE WHO WATCHES SURVIVOR. And she would have to find new ways to fall all season.

Anyway, Joe sucks.

bb_kali.jpg

Kail is a 37-year-old business owner (Schoonie: "And MILF. Hi, Kail!").

Flipit:What a cute, perky mom from Oregon. She's the Republican of the bunch, so expect a sly, ball skewering manipulator under that golly gee facade. I'm choosing Kail as my early favorite to win this thing because I am afraid of both moms and proud Republicans. I hope she takes the time to give a mommy lecture about dirty needles, condoms, and basic grooming to Dirty Dick.

Schoonie: Dirty Dick? Not touching that one. Republicans normally don't do very well on this show (see also: The Don), but we'll see. She also reminds me of Karen from BB5, but without the crazy, which seems to have arrived in the form of Joe this year, whom I expect she is going to clash with. Also predicted to clash with Joe: Schoonie.

bb_mike.jpg

Mike is a 26-year-old painter and model from Wisconsin. He is the proud owner of a set of scary eyebrows.

Flipit::Mike poses for the camera like he's on a Suits For Less commercial.
He's a painting contractor and he's single. He laughs as if adding "if you can believe that". Totally can, dude. Mike looks like the guy who drives around my neighborhood trying to sell people sound systems out of his SUV. Mmmm, that's tempting, but I gotta pass.

Schoonie: I do like his suit. He should buy an undershirt from Dustin, though. Do they take all your undershirts away when you go into the Big Brother house? It's like, "Into this plastic bin, please place all guns, hazardous materials, needles, and undershirts." Then Julie Chen swallows it all and uses the trash compactor stored in her robot belly to turn it into a very small cube. She's so useful!

bb_nick2.jpg

Nick is from Kimball, Minnesota and is a "Former Professional Football Player".

Schoonie: Former? At 25? He must have run into Lawrence Taylor in a dark alley or something. He flexes his biceps for the camera a bit too much, too. Maybe to distract you from the shirt which clearly indicates that he was recently released from prison? And he is afflicted with Hanson Hair. It's..he's tool-y. He's that guy in the bar who you know is going to get laid, but then whoever he sleeps with is never going to talk to him again.

Flipit: Nick describes himself as a good looking charmer, but he's from Minnesooota so it sounds like he's a good lookin' chaarmer who's gonna have luck with the ladies in the hoace....Nick has ginormous muscles and comes off as a complete bimbo, so I automatically love him. YAY big hot dumb guys!

Ahhh, big strong dumb man. Flipit HEARTs you.

NOT a spoiler - just supposition: Lawrence, KS is home of Kansas University and Haysville, KS is basically a suburb of Wichita, KS, which is approximately 2-1/2 hours south of Lawrence. I'm guessing that both Kansas girls are from the Wichita area, but the one listed from Lawrence is just going to school here. They probably listed them that way as a pitiful attempt to hide that they are one of the enemy pairs. And yup, I'm from Lawrence, I have absolutely no idea who she is (it's a town of about 100,000) and I wouldn't know where to look to find out information about her. However, if she mentions anything Lawrence-related on the show, I'll try to put it in context if necessary. Love this show. Can't wait for more BB TVgasm coverage!

OM goddness I love you two together already and Flipit is right Schoonie... you should not have given the spoiler away like that.. there are ways to hide them a litle better so the average reader who cannot look away can use a bit more self control as we come upon a possible spoiler..... learn how that works please.....

This household looks like what we have been waiting for... wall to wall crazies....
You guys need to recap your tour through the new house.... just to entertain us while we wile away the next 6 days......

OMG
OMG
I am soooo f---ing happy it's Big Bro time! I can't wait!
This year should be good...I am excited to see a new crop of faces after last year's (kinda lame) "All Star's".

It's going to be interesting to see how the houseguests use their drama with their enemies in their favor with the other guests.

Oh yay! I can't wait for BB to start. I'm trying to convert/corrupt as many people at work as I can to continue this obsession with me so that I have an excuse for gossiping about it all day long!!

Not sure I like the idea of the rivals twist. But if the America's Player choices we get to vote on are cool (long shot), that could be a fun little twist.

And Schoonie... Lisi in the house? Now THAT would be hilarious! And annoying. Ah, the possibilities.

OMG OMG....I am so excited. It's sad, really, that I get so excited over a tv show such as this. I am ready for it to start so I can read the recaps here!

Well Schoonie, you are brilliant. Apparently Evil Dick works at one of the L.A. bars co-owned by Boogie. For all our sakes, let us pray that they don't share a personality.

Flipit and Schnoonie, you are officially the new B-Side and J-Unit. Look forward to the summer.

I am a friend of Schoonie's, in fact he is one of the groomsman in my wedding this fall, so I feel the need to stick up for him for a second. I think I know which member of his dating history he is referring to when commenting about Daniele, and I have to say she does bear an uncanny resemblance...at least in that picture. Schoonie...I'll take large bills only as payment for having your back...or one kick-ass wedding present...you pick.

Bam! Take that, flipit. And I totally did not pay her to say that. Yet.
