There will be three nominees for eviction each week. Sigh, why do there have to be twists each season? Just let's play the game.

Other developments over the last week:

--16 houseguests, including Rachel's sister.
--Three houseguests on the block each week.
--America will vote for an MVP each week (powers not specified), starting even before the show first airs.
--A 1950s-60s style house.

I hope Rachel's sister is just like Rachel.

Rachel's sister does a spot-on imitation of the cocktail waitress sibling. She'll be a target, but I guarantee she'll be the first MVP, so she'll last a week. And Jeff Schroeder, who is doing the interviews, had a nice interview with Amanda's boobs.

 

[NDJournalist]

Have they outlined what the MVP's power will be? If it is immunity on a week-to-week basis, it's completely unfair to the competition IMO.

My preseason predictions. Last season, I had Shane beating Danielle, and they both made final four. I had Frank eliminated first, and he did end up on the block in the first true elimination. I had Ian eliminated second, and he would have been eliminated first if not for the coach's save. Of course, Ian won, sooo....

Listings are from first eliminated to winner.
--David. BB's cross between Spiccoli and Phil Spector will rub some people the wrong way with his aversion to showering and his "whoa, dude" demeanor. And the last surfer dude, Braden, was first out in Jeff's first season.
--GinaMarie. This famewhore bottle blonde has JoJo written all over her. She'll rub a few the wrong way.
--Judd. Real knowledgeable of the game, but his admitted temper issue and his "yee-haw" factor will work against him.
--Nick. His slickness will make him the main target, because Aaryn and Jeremy will probably be in some showmance-physical threat alliances to keep them in. And production will make sure Rachel's sis makes it to jury.
--Aaryn. Jeremy will backstab her to save himself.
--Kaitlin. Seems as if she'll cruise for a while, until alliances leave her the most likely to go, unless she gains some charisma and cashes in on her bartender chops.
--Jeremy. Enough people figure they better get one of the two big physical threats out at this point. The other big threat, Howard, will be a favorite of fellow houseguests, at least to this point. This takes us to the jury/final 2 pool.
--Spencer. I think he'll be seen the way Joe was last year: not a particular important person to roll with (tho Shane used him well) but not one to get out early. Don't think he has the floater chops of Adam, tho I was tempted to think that way.
--Elissa. I think she's this year's power player that gets dinged in the chaos of the double elimination. Again, I could see her going sooner if she makes the mistake of trying to deny that Rachel is her sister, and if production can't save her.
--Jessie. A big fan and a seemingly winning personality. But I think an Amanda-Helen alliance will decide she has to go.
--Howard. I think everyone realizes they better take him out now.
--McCrae. Could be this season's Ian as far as flakiness/eagerness to take punishments/slop. I think the others don't want to risk taking him further.
--Candice. Amanda-Helen will decide it's her time. That leaves a final three of Andy/Amanda/Helen
--Amanda. Andy (the season's token gay male) will win the final competition, and take Helen with him to final two.
--Andy. Will be seen as doing a lot of floating and will lose the jury vote to...
--Helen. She seems as if she will make some strong moves but be seen throughout the season as someone to roll with.

And I thought I was looking forward to the start of the show.

First impressions...

The cast sucks. There's usually a couple people who seem likable, but after the first episode, I haven't figured out who those are yet.

I always love the parents who go on there... "I have a 4-year-old and a 2 1/2 year old who are the light of my life..." So, I decided to ditch them for 90 days to go on this show... I'd be curious who the oldest person in the cast is. If there's more than 1-2 over 30, I'd be surprised.

Rachel's sister is in the cast. Stunningly, someone has already figured out who she is, which I think they have to be tipped off... She does look like Rachel, but when the cast member says, "Oh, she's got to be Rachel Reilly's sister..." Her knowing her last name made it seem like BS. Who knows?

 

[imjustagirl]

I knew Rachel's last name. She whored herself so hard I'd be surprised if anyone who watched the show, owns a TV and/or a computer and isn't 90 didn't know her name.

 

[Uncle.Ruckus]

I knew her last name. And they look eerily alike.

 

[dooley_womack1]

McCrae shocked everyone by winning HOH. Everyone in the house pretty much thinks Elissa (Rachel's sister) will win MVP and is game-planning around that. Helen is the oldest at 37. I think the cast has potential, as long as the younger women don't spend their time fighting over Jeremy. And Amanda playing stewardess is hawt.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I knew Rachel's last name. She whored herself so hard I'd be surprised if anyone who watched the show, owns a TV and/or a computer and isn't 90 didn't know her name.

I've watched the show pretty religiously, but I think the only last name of a player I could name was "Donato" and that's because it was mentioned about a zillion times the season when **** and his daughter were on.

I just googled her and apparently she did marry Brendon. I think it's funny that Survivor, Real World and Big Brother have resulted in almost as many marriages as The Bachelor/Bachelorette.

They get to put a third person up on the block anonymously.

 

[Killick]

Egads. Casting this season was done almost exclusively at Westboro Baptist Church events, it seems. According to the webs, the live feeds have been filled with racist and misogynist fare. Oh, joy.

 

[imjustagirl]

In the "unnecessary posts" category, I'm a big fan of Howard.

 

[dooley_womack1]

No, Ryan Howard is not playing.

Anyhoo, the racism stuff (mostly the blond Texas mean girl and the Arkansas lumberjack beard guy) has even made it onto Huffington Post. It is unclear whether the show is telling the houseguests to tone it down, but they may have to deal with it on the Wednesday show, which is when news developments are usually put on.

And my Week 1 prediction is looking golden so far.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

I'm hoping surf boy is among the first to go.

 

[The Big Ragu]

I think the surfer guy can be good entertainment, so I am hoping he stays a while.

Aaryn is another one. From the various hampster sites, it sounds like she is a horrible person. And they clearly edited the second episode to make her look vapid and a *****. But man is she nice to look at. I am going to want her gone sooner rather than later because the annoyance factor is going to more than offset the looks.

I was kind of down with Spencer, but according to various sites, he has said some racist things on the feeds, too. Too bad.

Here is where I am -- with the caveat that it is still early.

I can't stand Ginamarie. The Staten Island / NJ thing was good with Enzo, but they missed big with JoJo, and did worse with Ginamarie. You can tell Aaryn is a horrible, vapid person. Every season, I naturally gravitate toward the guy who is like Nick. For example, Matt from BB 12 was one of my favorite players. But I get the feeling early on that Nick is going to become overbearing and is too full of himself and I can see him alienating the others. Jeremy is obviously an idiot and he has a big mouth. And not as handsome / cool as he thinks. Judd seems dumb, and it isn't just the hayseed factor. I liked Spencer, but if he is saying racist things on the feeds, I can't get on board with him.

So the people I am rooting for, early on: Helen, the older Asian political consultant (how messed up when "older" is 37!). Howard, the youth counselor who is built like a brick ****house. McCrae, the pizza delivery boy, just because. And Andy, the gay professor. I almost always hate the token gay guy, but I get the feeling -- and I am not sure why -- that Andy might have some savvy to him. If so, they are going to underestimate him because he looks like Opie, and that can leave him free to do some sneaky stuff, if he plays the game well.

I reserve the right to change my rooting interests, as I learn more about them. ...

Howard, the youth counselor who is built like a brick ****house.

I'm willing to overlook the youth counselor thing for the brick ****house thing.
