Ananayel June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 I didn't watch the videos, but just from reading the little bio blurbs, I can say with complete confidence that JonnyMac the Rock Star Dentist is going to be the bane of my BB existence until he's gone. I don't actually see anyone I can really root for, except perhaps (and that's a big perhaps) Da'vonne, the wrestler (though I'm going to have a hard time looking at him as I can't stand facial hair,) and maybe Meg, who allegedly swears by the "girl code." It sure would be nice to have a season where the women aren't stupid doormats. Link to comment
HurricaneVal June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 Yup. Pretty sure I already hate them all. I suspect the transgendered one is pretty full of herself, since her bio is easily three times as long as everyone else's. The demented dentist is going to be reeeeeeeally annoying. I can tell already. I'm getting "Coach" (from Survivor) vibes from the professional wrestler with the unorthodox upbringing and the Masters in Medieval Studies. Aaaaaaand, no way grocery-boy has a girlfriend. No. Way. Link to comment
AndreaK1041 June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 I like that Vanessa has a lot of money and a career. I do not like people treating reality shows like a charity or a step to fame. (And yet I love reality TV even though at least 90% of contestants these days seem to fall in one of those categories) 1 Link to comment
Xazeal June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 My early favorites are definitely Da'vonne and Vanessa. I know first impressions are always wrong (Amanda was my early favorite in BB15) but I have a good feeling about those two. Overall I still feel like the women are way, way stronger than the guys. I definitely don't see a Brigade forming anytime soon. I think John will be first out. There's no way he's not going to drive people crazy. 1 Link to comment
Chrissytd June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 I like Audrey, Vanessa, and Da'vonne based on their interview. Austin looks like Seth Rollins. There was rumor of a TAR cast member being cast. I can't see the list so can anyone see if Jeff Weldon is in the cast. Could the twist be players from different reality shows?I read about that. There also a suspicion around that Sarah from a season of Oxygen's Bad Girls Club would be on this season due to a recent vlog she did. CBS having someone from an NBCUniversal show seems unlikely but it could happen. 1 Link to comment

I would love for an all women alliance finally but we know how these tend to work. Women can be real catty and jealous I hope it changes this year. John had me reaching for the excedrin! My head was hurting with that tone deaf voice of his. And did he reminded anyone of this guy when he started that laugh of his Plus he also looks like Boogie. And I sure in hell wouldn't let him work on my mouth as a dentist. Just no. Austin looks like Seth Rollins. Yes. But I thought Dan just hes hairy. 1 Link to comment
ByaNose June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 Very white cast, isn't it? Maybe, that's their twist. Maybe, the lone black cast member is just passing and is really white. Is that the twist CBS? 2 Link to comment
Morbs June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 (edited) Maybe the other two house guests are the two escaped killers from the NY prison. Clay's abs http://www.tmz.com/2015/06/16/big-brother-clay-honeycutt-texas-a-and-m-football-player-with-abs/ And unlike last season's houseguests with abs, he is 6'2!

SiobhanJW June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 I was kinda eh about the cast while reading their Bios but liked some of them ALOT more after watching the Live Feed Interviews! Right now really liking Vanessa, Stephen, Audrey and Jace. This could ALL change once those feeds come on!! There has to be 2 more players. No way it's just 14 this season is WAY to long for just 14 players! Link to comment
Maverick June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 I'm guessing there are 4 more players coming. The show's starting earlier this year and two's just a strange number to hold back. Link to comment

Petunia13 June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 Audrey won some online version (role playing?) game of survivor called Isurv1vor. I've never heard of this, is this a thing? Just because many many of the former HG were racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic, and antisemitic. Doesn't mean HG will marginalize or bully her. I hope. I really really hope. Because I am so sick of the bigotry and sexism of HG. In an interview Liz didn't acknowledge she had a twin so paranoid/speculators thing the twin twist is happening again. I sure am curious about the possible twist(s) the have been almost always horrible. Link to comment

Artsda June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 I guess they're trying to take from BB Canada. However, I hated their twists every week, it was all too manufactured when there was a huge twist on a weekly basis. They didn't really get to play it out. Link to comment
CrazyDog June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 (edited) And, sadly, racist and homophobic tweets from Clay have already surfaced. It's going to be a long summer. Sigh. Are there sources, though I almost don't want to know. I guess it's not surprising that there will always be racist, sexist and homophobic tendencies when casting occurs, but I hate when other contestants are subjected to overt hostilities/bullying in the house. Watching Aaryn go after Candice wasn't fun, and watching Dick & Jen wasn't fun (IMO). I always swear I won't get sucked in to this lame show, but here I am yet again. I am passing on the feeds this year though, unless there are some halfway decent personalities and some actual gameplay going on (no more voting with the house every week!) And please, please, please - no more Frankie. So far, I semi-like James, Vanessa (she could be really interesting to watch play), and Da'Vonne. This will be a showmance heavy season, I predict.

Morbs June 17, 2015 Share June 17, 2015 I tried googling Clay but couldn't find any blogs reporting racist/homophobic tweets. But really, I think it would be hard to find a 23 year without some fucked up tweets. Especially in the whole "bro" sports culture. Link to comment

Xazeal June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 I'm withholding judgement on the twist until we know more details. I'm guessing it will be some déja vu thing where each week uses a twist from a previous season. Jodi would come in and announce the "day one eviction" twist from BB14, Annie would come in and announce a saboteur, Elissa would come in and announce the MVP twist, stuff like that. There seems to be an unusually high amount of houseguests who have actually watched the show, so most of them would be familiar with the twists. No matter how silly the twists are, I'm sure I'll keep watching. Unless the final two houseguests are Amanda and Frankie. 2 Link to comment
peachmangosteen June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 I just can't see them only having 14 HGs. The season is already longer than it normally is. Although I guess maybe Grodner will just cancel some evictions when her faves are in danger. Link to comment
Xazeal June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 From the house tour we know that the table has sixteen plate settings. Unless they're intentionally trying to throw us off, there's no way there's fourteen houseguests. Link to comment

ByaNose June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 Like all of the twist it doesn't last long. It will probably last a few weeks and then it will be dropped. I'll give it a chance to see how good or bad it works. 1 Link to comment
HurricaneVal June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 I will whole-heartedly endorse any twist that prevents the "voting with the house" bullshit that started the last several seasons. Amanda more or less cemented that in stone when she would go on her rampages and witch-hunts to find out who dared, dared vote against Queen Amanda and make the house a living hell. I don't necessarily blame the hamsters that season for going along to get along and getting a little peace in the house by not voting their hearts when the numbers clearly weren't there, but there's no excuse for last season. No excuse. 3 Link to comment
Wandering Snark June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 (edited) Even worse than "voting with the House" was people "Making the nominations the House wants" which then of course leads us to the other recent BS "not wanting to get any blood on my hands" which should also be banished! If these weekly twists will all be based upon the twists of BB past I bet the two extra people will be representative of the twin twist and both will come in to fill out the numbers at the end of that "twist week".

CheetaraThunder June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 I think my most anticipated dynamic this season will be how Da'Vonne and Vanessa interact with one another. And, to see if Da/Vonne recognizes Vanessa. If she does, will she go up to her and tell her straight up about her job and say that she recognize her. Could they set up a "Poker Face" alliance with one another or could we see them try to out strategize each other on opposite alliances? Both situations could be very appealing to watch. 2 Link to comment
