To whet your appetite for the season premiere, here’s some info on the contractthe houseguests sign.
Anyone care? Bueller?
If you do care, and you are a watcher, the season debut starts tonight.
Russel Hantz brother will be on. :rolleyes:
I think my two first impressions are the same ones I had last year.
The show is still in 4:3? It must be the last network program to still be broadcast in this aspect ratio. Seems cheap.
It appeared as if Julie Chen didn’t bother to show up for any real interaction with the house guests. She obviously wasn’t there when they entered the house. Her other bits seemed like prerecords, but it could have just been edited that way. In any case, there was no back and forth with the house guests and that seemed chintzy.
Judging by the footage in the preview for Sunday’s show, they’ve been in the house for several days already.
Too early to pick favorites, but I’d like to see Willy Hantz gone soon, just 'cause.
They always go in a week before the premiere. It gives the producers more footage to build the first show from. Thursday would normally be a live episode night, and they wouldn’t have the diary room moments if they just went in cold.
How does Britney get elevated to place where she is a coach. the other three? They played very good games but Britney did not play a good game, IMO. She was clueless to Lane-Hayden-Enzo-tattoo guy alliance.
It all depends on who will say yes, too. Britney may be a fourth or fifth choice, the previous three or four who were asked saying no. Despite how it usually seems by the middle of the season, not EVERY houseguest is a famewhore.
I am glad to see Janey back, though. Booger, not so much.
There are probably some time zones who haven’t seen it yet, but I’m already crossing my fingers for a quick exit for the current HOH. Brittany is probably the only one who hasn’t figured out who that dude is.
Yeah, have to agree that Britney is way out of her element. Works for me though, as I loves me some Britney.
I have more respect for Britney being there than Mike. Britney went further than all non-Brigade members (and one actual member). I see the weak link as Mike. He was evicted in Week 5 (5!) in his season, then gets on All-Stars with Will (arguably the best strategist to ever play), who states quite clearly that his mission is to carry Mike to the end and then “drop out”. Which he pretty much did. And yet, Mike believes he is “the best player in Big Brother history”.
Not to mention that what he did to whatshername in the All-Star season was odious. Hell, NOBODY came off looking very good in the first All-Star season, not even Janey. And I LOVES me some Janey.
I’m thinking they may have screwed the players this time around. The more I think about it, the more I don’t like the idea of having a full time coach in the house with the players groups.
The players don’t have to follow their coach’s advice and that might lead to drama in itself. Or so, I’m sure, the producers hope.
I didn’t like the first night eviction thing. There wasn’t time for viewers to get to know the house guests, so it was hard to care who went home. They did something similar on “The Amazing Race” one season. They eliminated a team with a challenge at the starting line. That fell kinda’ flat as well.
Did he actually state his full name when he introduced himself? Or did he give just his first name, or a fake last name? Because if he offered up his full name, then it would pretty much be pointless to try to hide who he really is.
I thought it was interesting that Booger has a kid but (apparently) no wife/girlfriend/babymomma around. My take is that either whoever ended up spawning with him figured out she couldn’t stand to be around him long before she gave birth to the kid or she doesn’t want to be known as “Booger’s Woman” on national TV.
Of course, it’s probably going to turn out that they were deeply in love and she succumbed to a devastatingly fatal disease, because that’s the one thing guaranteed to make this post look like that of a total asshole…
It could that his wife or girlfriend doesn’t want attention. They say opposites attract.
It turns out Kara is Kara Monaco, playmate of the year 2006.
Sure nuff!
Probably NSFW.
I haven’t paid much attention to Playboy in recent years, and looking at that cover, I feel justified. It doesn’t look like anything, except maybe her hands, are real. It looks almost completely digitally drawn.
I just caught up with Sunday night’s ep, so I finally got to read this thread. As formulaic and redundant as this show is, I couldn’t wait for it to start. My thoughts so far:
Coaches: I admire Janelle for her competition ability, but she grates on me. Not rooting for her. Britney is cute, but I agree she’s out of her league among the other coaches. I don’t know how important that is, though. She doesn’t need to be the best strategist, necessarily. Anyone who lasted as long as she did will have some valuable insight. I loved Dan in his season. I think he’s smart and he seems a bit more hardened than he did the first time around. I think he goofed by how he used his save though. Boogie Boogie Boogie… I get the hate… but Chill Town was my favorite reality team ev-er. Yes, Dr. Will was the mastermind, and their tactics might be slimy, but damn I enjoy watching them play. I don’t think he’ll win this time, but I’m glad he’s there.
House Guests: Too early to form any judgments (I don’t get any live feed packages, just the canned network footage, so I am manipulated by the editors… I am leaning towards Shane as the early favorite. And how much must it suck to go through the application process, get chosen, go through all the waiver signing, etc., and then not even get to spend a (TV) night in the house?
