There are 2 twists to start this season. The first is that all the houseguests have another enemy/rival in the house. The second twist is that one houseguest is America's player. Basically they're suppose to do what the viewers vote for them to do without telling another HG.

Chenbot is back to provide un-intentional comedy as the host.

Based on the cast intro video, this looks like the first season with 2 gay guys (Joe, Dustin).

My 2 favorite HG's are Jen and Daniele. I also like Mike. Every HG is single except Kail.

If I was in the house, I would stay away from Nick since it looks like he's on roids.

I thought last season was the BB in the series history.

Let's set the over/under on how many of the 14 cast members will talk about starting a career/advancing their career in Hollywood after the show is over. I say 8.

Let the backstabbing begin!

One of the few reality shows that always hooks me in. Can't wait for it to begin.

The official website has launched:

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/

Looks like there has been a 15th player added to the house. I'm guessing she might be America's player.

Her name is Samantha.



The first pairing has been revealed. **** is the father of Danielle. People have already posted her myspace pics on the internets. It doesn't look like she is single even her bio says she is.

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

- I've witnessed a lot of things through 7 seasons of Big Brother, but tonight we witnessed our first Gonorrhea bomb.

When Joe told the other 10 HG's that Dustin gave him Gonorrhea, I almost choked on my dinner.

- It looks like Samantha was nothing more than a replacement player.

- Too bad I don't have Showtime I'm guessing it will be like the feeds and a lot of things will still be censored (i.e frontal nudity, when people sing songs, etc...)

Let me breakdown the HG's:

Amber: I see her being a nice person and she will struggle internally when she has to lie to further herself in the game

Carol: ZZZZZ........

Danielle: Very attractive and I have a feeling she will have several meltdowns during the diary room sessions. She doesn't appear to be a backstabbing type of person.

****: Reminds of Lex from Survivor. His relationship with Danielle will probably be a lot better by the time he leaves the house.

Dustin: Well we all know what this guy has. He probably won't last past 4 weeks.

Eric: I was hoping he was going to be America's player. He's a little bit goofy but I have no doubt he will lie left and right if it gets him closer to the money. He's going to have the best DR sessions. We get to "control" some of his actions but if I was Eric, I wouldn't always do what I'm told. He needs to complete 5 tasks for $10,000 and if it hurt my chances in the game I wouldn't do what America wants. It's going to be pretty funny if he has to get a showmance going with somebody like Jen and gets rejected.

Jameka: ZZZZZZZZZZ........... Fly under the radar player. Zero entertainment value.

Jen: She probably has an IQ under 50. But of course you can get away with that when you have a nice set of "insert body part". Hopefully she goes very far into the game.

Jessica: An extremely annoying Valley girl. Hopefully she gets the boot soon.
I don't care about your HS fued with Carol.

Joe: This guy makes Elton John look straight. I hope he sticks around because he makes for good TV.

Kail: Well she basically told the millions of viewers tonight that she is a bigot. What's next, a KKK member enters the house? Oh by the way did you know Kail is a MULTI-BUSINESS OWNER????? Even after hearing it 3 times, I still didn't know.

Mike: Token pretty boy that's probably very into himself. I have a feeling this guy will go very far into the game.

Nick: He better stay away from Joe. I have a feeling he will form an alliance with Mike.

Zach: Seems like a nice guy.

At this point I'm going to predict Mike as the winner.

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

We flipped by it tonight and I said, "Wow... everyone... pretty much seems pretty young and attractive this year. No real Chicken Georges."

Then at the end when it talked about the Showtime connection... it became clear to me that these people were chosen based on their willingness to be largely nude as much as possible. Even the 37 year old with the kids has really big....ummmmmm.... plans.

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

Like the rest of the Big Brothers, this one has me and my wife hooked. Should make for some good TV over the summer.

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

LOL at Jen breaking down over her picture on the wall.

They need to rename the Mrs. Robinson alliance, the band of boring people. Mike is reminding me of Drew from Season 5. He doesn't say much inside the house which can be viewed as good strategy but it makes for boring TV. I thought Mike might be an arrogant jackass but it looks like he's not.

There are too many quiet people in the house right now.

I'm sure this isn't going to surprise people, but some of the HG's were recruited. Whenever people discussed this, the feeds cut off.

Eric delivered on his first task as America's player. You will see this on tommorow's show.

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

I wish they would have had more diversity in the show. It seems like they went the MTV Real World route. Not surprising about the recruiting. It should be entertaining but I imagine could have been alot better. Jen would drive me insane with that crying over her picture. God I hope she leaves soon.

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

Jen breaking down has to be one of the weirdest things I've seen in a while.

IMO, I think that the alliance could do well. Great episode.

Are people watching Big Brother After Dark on Showtime Too it comes on every night.

i wish, but i don't have showtime.

Jen crying over her picture was the stupidest thing i've seen in the 8 seasons of big brother. i would have nominated her in a second because of that.

[joshuar9476]

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

eric was awesome last night w/ his sob story .... he's gonna be great to watch this season.

[VanCitySportsGuy]

Re: *** Big Brother: Season 8 ***

I cracked up at Eric's story. I saw the un-edited version and he went over 10 minutes.

I don't root for people that like to say God is on their side so hopefully Amber gets the boot. If Kail wasn't a bigot, I would be rooting for her. She's a fan of the show and she is clearly one of the smarter players in the house.

Joe makes for good tv. If he didn't tell Nick what Jen said, that drama probably would have never happened. BTW Jen knows Chilltown outside of the house.
