ByaNose June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 And, will both DaVonne & Vanessa lie or tell the truth about their profession?! I'm looking forward to my summer guilty pleasure to start. Of course, there is that question about the 2 extra key slots and the weekly twist. Already, it seems to long ago that the racist cast was 2 summers ago and Derrick cruised to the finals last summer. Time sure does fly!!! 1 Link to comment
CrazyDog June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 I don't usually watch the pre-show interviews (straight to the show/feeds), but I sat through a few, and I already want to vote some of these HGs out. Is that a normal reaction? John, Jason, Liz, Meg - yikes. Clay is boring. Austin, DaVonne, and Vanessa still seem alright, and Austin better stick around just to be my eye candy. Link to comment
Katesus7 June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 Byanose, both have said they were going to lie about their profession. Vanessa has a plan B is she's recognized, saying that she's really more of DJ now, which she does do. But yeah, I really want those two to secretly hook up. Link to comment
Petunia13 June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 Da'Vonne comes across as really smart and people savvy. And Vanessa is no fool. She knows her being one of the best poker players in the US (so able to play well and strategize and read situations expertly) and well off (4 million in poker winnings plus any inheritance she has from her late husband) will work against her or intimidate the other HG. so i believe she will do what she can to protect this info and suss out she cant mist - Da'Vonne. I hope and think these two will team up and that would be ~amazing~. I hated the last two seasons and damnit I really want this to happen. The show means more when there's contestants that you just love and root for that are entertaining and smart. They might be that for me. James better not pull the doing this for my kid(s) card since he was arrested for being a deadbeat dad. Audrey looks older than her age that was my first impression I thought she was like 36. The two blonds look like sisters. It'll be hard for me to tell them apart at first. Link to comment
Wandering Snark June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 I just saw an ad dubbing this season "Big Brother Takeover" and that there will guests "taking over" the house, along with the weekly twists I hate to say this sounds like a trainwreck... 2 Link to comment
Xazeal June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 From the interviews out there, I can tell we've got some ramblers in the house. Good luck cutting off their ten-minute speeches during the live shows, Julie! I was expecting at least some more information about the twist - are they going to reveal anything at all or will we have to wait until premiere night? Didn't we find out about the BOTB twist before last season started? Link to comment
ByaNose June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 Are they in the house? I have never figured out how long they are in the house before the show airs. Anyway, I'm sure the house guest will figure out the slow roll out of houseguest since it was done last year. I'm not sure if that help or hurts them this time around. I seem to remember last year the first group said they were all going to stick together and I can for the life of me remember who was in that first group. Does anyone remember? If so, did someone from the first group win? Link to comment
CheetaraThunder June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 I loved watching Da'Vonne's interviews, especially when she out right told Rachel that when she watched her season, she was not impressed by Branches and called her a crybaby. But, then complimented her about being able to escape and "rise above" the adversity. I also like how Da'Vonne wants to incorporate Danielle Reyes strategy from season 3 ( have a ride or die ally, with 1 backup), but said she would be more social. Nice to see a true BB fan into he house and I hope she stays in a while. I think the best thing for Da'Vonne and Vanessa would be to work together if they find out about their professions. Use that strategic advantage to their benefits. And, Da'Vonne said she would lie about her profession too. I actually like that it seems like their are no real alpha male characters and the females seem like they came to win. Though, this may all change once their are in the house. Link to comment

They are in there for 6 days before the first show and a week before the live feeds come on. So the first evicted Houseguest (that is if it didn't happen during this week) are in the house 2 weeks before they are out. Link to comment
Morbs June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 (edited) Just by chance, I saw someone on Twitter retweeting Clay's racist and homophobic tweets. The account is now private so I couldn't read them, but by the commentary I could tell he used the word faggot and said something against black people and tagged his black teammate (so I assume that was a joke). I haven't seen any blogs that got screenshots before his account was made private. Damn his Twitter pic is sexy though! https://twitter.com/c_honey25 Edited June 20, 2015 by Morbs Link to comment
ByaNose June 20, 2015 Share June 20, 2015 (edited) I just saw Clay's interview with Jeff. I thought Jeff was going to jump his bones right then and there on the couch. Jeff is much like Jeff Probst. They flove their alpha males. They can't even try to hide it. I'm sure Clay will do well but I'm not sure if he would make the Final 2. That said, I'm sure he land on some soap opera such Y&R or B&B afterwards. Too bad he doesn't have his looks to fall upon. LOL!!! Yeah! I don't think we have to worry about Clay's life at all.

Petunia13 June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 I learned this last week via social media so will post this here. Dani's grandma passed away after a long illness. Dani and her brother were raised by her grandma (Evil Dicks mom I think) from age 3 to 18 so she took it pretty hard. Ugh why is Jeff still hosting interviews and promote as some BB authority by the powers that be. Even Marcellas was preferable LOL. I loved watching Da'Vonne's interviews, especially when she out right told Rachel that when she watched her season, she was not impressed by Branches and called her a crybaby.

ByaNose June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 I just watched several of Da'Vonnes interviews and she's got a great personality. She's a real super fan and hopefully she does well. I'm not exactly thrilled that she's leaving her 7 month year old kid to play but that's not my business. She admits to being loud and direct which doesn't always go over well in the house. I am curious to see if she plays better with the boys or the girls. I've watched BB since Season 1 but this is the first time I'm really really looking forward for the show to start. I guess it's because I'm dying for Survivor Second Chance to begin that I need something to tie me over. C'mon, Wednesday!! Link to comment

Petunia13 June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 He's not being sequestered so not at a HG and he's the special guest of some viewing party hosted by Rachel. But I don't think I'm blowing anyone's mind thinking he will guest as some comp host or part of one of the weekly twists. I'm starting to wonder if the final two HG spots that are vacant are for booted HG to be voted back into the house by America or the hamsters later in the game. 1 Link to comment
Nite Ryder June 21, 2015 Share June 21, 2015 I have a good feeling a female will win this year, all of them left me with very strong impressions. The guys are probably some of the poorest options ever, aside from Austin & Jason I don't remember the others at all. Surely Frankie is too busy being a Major Media Mogul to return to the house again. CBS has already dubbed him "fan favorite" over Donny, Nicole, and Zach. He'll be back and I don't see why he shouldn't be. Unlike last year's top 3 he attempted to at least play the game. I'll take that over the "nice" guys any day. Link to comment
sunsheyen June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Frankie has been traveling a bit but will be in LA full time starting late July for his ABDC gig, so will be able to make a guest appearance anytime, but if the twist involves the guest living in the house for a week as I've heard, it will have to occur earlier in the season. There have been some rumblings about a Zankie appearance but the two of them are pretty secretive about each other, so the live in part might deter them from that. I'm all about Audrey, Da'Vonne, Vanessa, Steve & Jason. I need this core group to be bonding right now. Also, Meg is friends with Frankie's bff & others in his circle. Link to comment
ByaNose June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Well, the houseguest spent their first weekend in the BB house. Hopefully, they are all getting along and not plotting too much behind each other's back. LOL!!! Link to comment

dolphincorn June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Meg mentioned in her interview with Rob & Rachel that she studied musical theater . . . Just once I want to see someone with a musical theater background come into the house and annoy all the other house guests with the complete works of Gilbert and Sullivan, Sideshow Bob-style. They're in the public domain. I have a question regarding Live-Feed recaps. I go to Jokers, but I hate the archaic format. Where else can I go that won't be so offense to my aesthetic sensibilities? 1 Link to comment
AndreaK1041 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 I don't trust Big Brother to handle anything. The producers probably spent every interview on Day 1 trying to get one of the guys to say Audrey is hot so they can focus in on his face during the "reveal". This show is not about teachable moments, it's about reaction shots. I just hope it's one episode and done type of thing, as I'd much rather just see Audrey as a human being than whatever storyline CBS is going to try to capitalize on. Prove me wrong, BB! 8 Link to comment
ByaNose June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 I'm sure some will quite a reaction shot and be PC about it. Then in the diary room they'll let it all hang out....I mean their comments. I think everyone has a right to like or dislike or understand and not understand. Of course, if the whole season is going to be about Audrey I might get pretty bored. I want some game play and no crying (doubt it) from like people Amanda or Rachel. That is soooooo annoying. Though, when Zach cried last year I thought it was funny yet totally embarrassing.

Morbs June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 I saw a gay porn blog making fun of that Tyler guy last week, so I thought he was a performer, maybe that BB tweet is what got him on their radar. His Twtter and Instagram are homoerotic as fuck, so if he is trying to attract women with it he is really is going the wrong route. He would have made an infuriating/funny house guest.

peachmangosteen June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 (edited) In this new promo 16 post-it notes are shown with little messages from the HGs so I feel like that's basically confirmation that there's 2 more that they're hiding. In this cap you can see a note from 'Jackie.' Lots of spec now that Jackie and Jeff from last seasn's The Amazing Race will be HGs. Edited June 22, 2015 by peachmangosteen Link to comment
AndreaK1041 June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 Didn't Jackie know Rachel? Or I am just confused since Jackie was a Vegas showgirl and Rachel IS Vegas? I liked them, I would be fine with them in the house. 1 Link to comment
peachmangosteen June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 I feel like I remember Jackie and Rachel knowing each other too, but yea, it might just be the Vegas connection. I liked them, I would be fine with them in the house. Same here. I like them a lot and I'm just glad it's not Zach! Link to comment
Wandering Snark June 23, 2015 Share June 23, 2015 (edited) This show is not about teachable moments, it's about reaction shots. So much word to this... so true. Hopefully they don't botch/sensationalize the whole situation too badly. It's funny though I'm having Culture Club flashbacks... trying to spring Boy George being a dude on people... That said mainly to remind everyone lest people think Chaz and Ms. Jenner were the first in these waters. On a lighter note, in that clip Jace looks like Sawyer Frederick's older brother.

Petunia13 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Julie also went on the record a while ago saying she didn't like Jase and likes Janelle. I'm not surprised and got the impression she didn't like Aaryn from just the eviction interview. I wouldn't dont like her either and it probably is a slap in the face to Julie, an Asian, some of the shit she said and did. This season better be GOOD I truly hated and was bored by the last 2. I blame a lot of this to the casting and dumbass twists. This cast seems a bit more promising. I wonder how much of it will be rigged in Audrey's favor, there's no way they are letting get evicted for a while. Link to comment
Brian Cronin June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 If they are re-visiting past twists, couldn't it be that they're doing the twin twist again with Liz but also the "Secret Duo" twist with Da'Vonne and Vanessa? As others have mentioned, I don't really mind twists, per se, except for when they are used by the producers to control the game, like last year. What made last year particularly dumb was that Derrick was a fine player and would likely have won anyways, but instead he was given huge advantages for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks. So I really do fear that these twists will be rolled out in such a fashion as to benefit who the producer wants to win when the producer wants him or her (who am I kidding? It'll be a him) to be helped. 3 Link to comment
Petunia13 June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Well it's perfect for rigging. Oh week a production fave is in the hot seat lets trot out diamond power of veto or Pandora's box. Week a fave is evicted lets make it reset week. Week faves in power with strong numbers double eviction time or America's choice. Yes AG heavily favors males big time but she had her exceptions Janelle, Rachel (Im saying this as a Janelle fan and person who likes Rachel) and Danielle D (mainly because of her lunatic father and their heart warming saga). Lord help me but I'm excited. I think Da'Vonne and Vanessa are going to be great. And I kinda like the guy who looks like a ventriloquist's dummy he seems like he will be amusing. Link to comment
Brian Cronin June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 (edited) Fair point, Petunia, AG certainly has made a few exceptions over the years. Honesty, I probably shouldn't be TOO worried, as I think the extreme rigging of last year was more an over-the-top reaction to an "alpha male" type not winning the game since the Brigade, so AG figured she'd just rig the game so that another alpha male won (or rather, that the alpha males controlled the house. As she obviously would have been fine with Frankie eventually winning). I can't believe this dumb show is starting up again already. I really need to stop watching this silly show, but ever since they changed formats in Season 2, I can't help myself!! Edited June 24, 2015 by Brian Cronin 2 Link to comment

I do not think I have met one person in my entire life with the name Jace/Jase. I did not know Audrey is transgender, in that article AG said it was not stunt casting but I think that is probably bull. Honestly, I am surprised that it took this long to have a trans contestant as England and other international versions have already had trans contestants in the past.
