The last I heard it was supposed to be in two weeks! And I was looking forward to it. Well at least we have something to look at for the next month. ---

Sunday night at 8 on CBS is Big Brother until they finish, which won’t probably be until the the weekend after Labor Day. ---

Looks like a younger and better looking crew than in the past. I guess they want to give those weak wednesday(?) ratings a jolt. ---

> [@Rhiannon8404](#): > > Hey! No token old couple! But there is the token gay couple, the token parent/child couple and the token “we’re doing this to work on our rocky relationship” couple." They also have two giggly-girl teams - the recent college grads and the pageant queens. Should be interesting. I like Vipul & Arti and Erwin & Godwin. ---

Nice job on the diversity this season. Balil & Sa’eed are Muslim, Vipul & Arti are Indian-Americans, Erwin & Godwin are Chinese?-American. Then there’s the first (open) Lesbian (Lauren), and the first amputee (Sarah). And with the race changes I’ve heard about this could be a good season. ---

Man I can’t wait until this show gets started. Okay I am going to say it first. Tom and Terry? **Team Forehead**! You could probably see them from space… 😃 I am now going to go back and drool slightly over the male model team. ---

This is awesome! Can’t wait. Matching shirts = early round exit. (Working at Mickey D’s for 10 years?) I’m picking Duke as the prick. I am not sure why…but there you go. ---

Then there’s the first (open) Lesbian (Lauren), and the first amputee (Sarah). And a team of thirty-something Black women. I’m pulling for them, but I doubt they’ll make it far what with the not being well traveled.
