Just to have a place for random comments and predictions and discussion of the fine points of this exercise in group hate. [Official home site for The Cast.](http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/cast/) Other by-episode threads may come and go, but this one is for all season [contumely.](https://dictionary.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0LEVxER0KpTEggAEX1XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTB0dGFqZG82BHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1ZJUDQ1Ml8x?p=contumely&.sep=) As soon as you’ve got a good idea of who’s going to get evicted in the next vote, post it here. As soon as you think you’ve nailed the winner, say so. My wife and I usually pick somebody the first week and put $5 on our choice. We could try something like that here, without the money. Maybe some other “prize”? Nothing will be seen (by me anyway) as “off topic.” 🙂 ---

Just over an hour before kickoff. Have you picked the first loser yet? I figure that unless Donny chooses to shave before blastoff that he may have a good chance of being Numero Uno. ---

Cody is really pretty. Devin is really built. Frankie is REALLY gay. Donny is really earnest. Pao-Pao (good lord!) is really annoying. Joey is really annoying. Amber and Nicole are really kind of meh so far. ---

Amber is an Esthetician. I admit I had to look it up. I have hard time pronouncing it. I didn’t HATE anyone after Night 1. So I consider that a success. Anyone think CBS told the producers to find a Duck Dynasty type look? ---

In spite of the beard I’m pulling for Donny from this first batch. Next would be Joey, although I haven’t decided yet about Amber. ---

So far for me… I see amber possibly winning a lot of HOH’s and possible the whole season. I predict pao-pao (ugh) be the first to go (hopefully) If she doesn’t go … Then definitely Frankie. HOH is not safe. ---

I’m actually looking forward to the rest of the people to come in tonight, hopefully some less annoying people. Pretty excited for all the twists this season, was impressed by the first twist they threw out last night. ---

Seems they saved all the annoying people for the second half. And Victoria thinking she is the hottest in the house? Um… no. Really no. ---

Ah, we have Kathy Najimy’s teenage daughter (Victoria), Douchebag David Boreanaz (Zach), Amy Farrah Fowler without the doctorate (Christine), and Niecy Nash on God (Jocasta). This should be a summer to make me tear out my hair… ---

My wife and I have settled on our picks for WINNER and our picks for First Out The Door. I’m betting on Donny to win, and Sister Jocasta to march forth in the Glory of God most ricky-tick. I second the notion that CBS saved the assholes for last. The “barista” reminds me of [this guy!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LU2yt6wOoK0) ---

Hate pretty much the entire cast, with maybe one or two exceptions. The twist is designed to favor the athletes, which is fine by me but I imagine a lot of people will find it annoying. Essentially, the only nominees you want to put on the block are the two weakest people in the house to be sure that your nominees don’t win the battle of the block. ---

Christine reminds me of a former Houseguest [Michele](http://bigbrother.wikia.com/wiki/Michele_Noonan) from a few years ago. I guess we will see her naked. And Yes, tonights cast was much more annoying. Donnie does a pretty good cricket impersonation. He reminds me of someone that I cannot place. It might be someone I know IRL. **Zeldar** , who are your wife’s picks? I really wish we had a time frame for how long the first group was in the house before the 2nd group showed up. And I wonder if there was a competitive advantage to being in the first 8. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Donnie does a pretty good cricket impersonation. He reminds me of someone that I cannot place. It might be someone I know IRL. Gomer Pyle. Not the kind-of-dumb part, the earnest, friendly and constantly enjoying everything part. The accent helps, too. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > **Zeldar** , who are your wife’s picks? For WINNER she has Joey (the blue hair gal) and first to leave she has Jocasta (same as me). We agree that CBS (with the goddamn church music whenever she’s on screen) is going overboard in stereotyping her, but that is working in calling up hate from the two of us. In no particular order, but definitely in the “Can’t Leave Too Soon” group we have Zach, Caleb, Christine and Paola. Her “root for” runner up is Brittany and mine is Hayden. We also both like Amber and Devin. Of the remaining guys, I could accept Cody or Derrick Do you have some picked from both ends? If so, who? Is it too early for a poll? 😃 ---

In case you’re interested and haven’t gone looking yourself, here’s a listing of [Big Brother (U.S.) HouseGuests](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Big_Brother_(U.S.)_HouseGuests) from every season since 2000. Would it be worth the trouble to have a Poll or a March Madness bracket to try to determine SDMB’s favorites and least favorites? ---

I agree Jocasta will be the first to leave next week. Who will win? I will take the Cop. I never watched BB in the first 3-4 seasons. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > I agree Jocasta will be the first to leave next week. > > Who will win? I will take the Cop. > > I never watched BB in the first 3-4 seasons. Nor I. I have skipped some seasons along the way, too. I believe my all-time favorite is Janelle (stone fox) and least favorite has to be Russell Hantz’s relative Willie. The fan-favorite (came back several times anyway) pretty-boy Jessie is in my Top Ten least favorites. I don’t dislike the cop yet, either. ---

I choose not to watch the non-broadcast-prime-time spinoff shows, but I am curious if we’re going to get some real jewels in tonight’s show. Anybody keeping up with that stuff? Has anybody shown any big time ass yet? (as in the make a fool of oneself kind of ass; I figure they all try to get as much skin out there for others to evaluate.) ---

Devin seems to be pissing off his alliance with all his machinations. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that blow up in his face. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-2014-big-brother-point-and-laugh-thread/691608.md?page=2)
