Big Brother 11 Blog

Is it just me, or has this been a really confusing start to BB9 or whatever-the-heck-we-call-it?

I’ll attempt to catch you up right quick:

1. Neil is gone. In a blog post on MySpace.com on Monday, he noted that he is dealing with a private family matter and that he would not be returning to Big Brother 9. All speculation has been that his brother died; however, I have seen no confirmation of this.

2. Sex has been had. Ryan and Jen (vaginally … can I write that? I just did.) Natalie to Matt (oral). Amanda to Alex (hand). I’ll be real honest with you; I think the “tension” was a lot more interesting than the porn movie some of this has become. I’m no prude, but I already have a porn collection (kidding,Ma! … not you, Sheila ;-)).

3. Jen/Parker are the favorites to leave this week. Last I heard, it was 3 to 1 to evict Jen and Parker over Ryan and Allison.

4. Parker has been on a diary room strike. Interesting technique, but I think he should be penalized. Coincidentally, Amanda (who I think is strangely smokin’ hot in a Sandra Bullock but better sort of way) is pissed at Big Brother because she typically only dates black guys.

Note to houseguests: Please save Parker. I might have to take back my opinions in No. 2 of this list regarding the “tension.” Truly, I kid. The houseguests would be crazy to keep Jen and Parker over the milktoast Ryan and Allison, who is actually pissed that she can’t have any sex on camera, given that her “soulmate” is attached to Jen.

May I make a quick editorial comment? Updates aside, is it me, or did Big Brother do a really good job in finding the most unstable people available? Oddly enough, “Crazy” James seems to be the least crazy among them so far.

In sad family story news, apparently (and this is not confirmed), Amanda’s father committed suicide, and Sheila’s father is in prison for robbing banks. What has made the former point more relevant recently is that Joshuah made a joke about Amanda’s father’s suicide.

Real life has precluded me from figuring all this out in real-time. I’ve gathered info from other sites, live feeds and — of course — your comments. I’m your little data gatherer.

However, the bit of news that has me most intrigued is a MySpace blog post from my favorite BB8 player: Eric Stein. Unfortunately, I think I’m going to have to rescind the sentiment given that his post is essentially a rambling diatribe against this year’s houseguests, his co-competitors from last season and us — the fans of the show.

I’ll post the diatribe below, but his sentiment toward BB fans is that we all need to get a life like the ones they have, to which I say: WITHOUT US, THERE IS NO YOU. Yes, he’s directing his outburst toward those he calls the “haters.”

Anyway, read this. It’s pretty incredible. Frankly, I would have liked to see him take the high road, but apparently he thinks he’s still in the house.

ERIC’S MYSPACE.COM LETTER:

Well, well, well…the new season of Big Brother is upon us and I decided that it’s time to break my silence. Since the completion of BB8, I have really picked my spots and chosen my words wisely. After all, when is taking the high road not a good choice? I figured it’s a simple equation - so long as I’m decent towards everyone, I can expect that same decency back in return. Evidently, that’s not how it works though. I’ve been nothing but nice to this point and have gotten shit on in return - I’m done biting my tongue. I’m sick and tired of hearing everyone carry on except for me…so now it’s my turn! I guess it’s the BB way to talk crap on people…I know I dished it out last summer, but I’m the rare trash talker that can take it. I’ve just taken enough recently that I’m ready to dish out some more - consider me officially stooping to everyone else’s level.
Where to begin? Let’s start with this wonderful new season, why don’t we? Let me start with some initial impressions about the houseguests. Let’s begin with Amanda, who seems to think that I gave her a dirty look when I hosted the competition. Ya wanna know why she thinks that? Because I did. It was highly difficult to concentrate on hosting duties when her vile, grotesque, fat thunder thighs were making the entire set jiggle. I sincerely almost walked out of the yard when she came out in that leotard - was that some sort of a sick joke? It was like a perfect storm of Kail’s stretchmarks meeting Amber’s America’s Next Top Model photo shoot. I was temporarily blinded, hence I accidentally shot her a dirty look. Listen bitch, you wanna talk smack then you better be ready to receive it in return.
On to my friend, this season’s resident whore Jen. Jen made it perfectly clear to me that she is in Big Brother for the fame…well, congrats Jen! You’re already going to be remebered in BB history! You are officially the house’s biggest slut and it only took you 6 days! Let’s see, I’ve watched about 30 seconds of the feeds and I’ve come across you having your bf insert your tampon further into you, begging to jerk him off, and a 1 minute sex in the same fucking bathroom that 14 other people have to use. You know sex is never good when it starts with “is it in honey? I can’t tell” and ends with “awww, it’s okay.” Jen, you’re a very classy girl. Plus, on top of that, your gameplay is pathetic and you are not long for this house…so enjoy filming your sex tapes while it lasts. You are so fucking two-faced with your “oh man, this is so cool, i’m in awe - i can’t stop staring. it’s sooo cool you guys are here” - then two seconds later bragging about talking shit on us in the DR. In the words of Boogie, you’re a real CLASS ACT.
On to Natalie. Natalie who thinks that since she is “so much cuter and better looking and more fun than Eric & Jessica” that she’s “totally going to be famous if they are.” I don’t think I need to say much more about this than she had a sick fat roll in her intro video package and she’s not fit to stand in the same room as Jess, let alone in the same league as her. Prancing around in her bra and G string throwing herself at guys is certainly respectful. Oh wait, in the 10 minutes since I’ve been writing this, I take back what I said about Jen! At least it was Jen’s boyfriend! Being the extremely conservative girl that she claims to be, Natalie has just jerked off/blown/maybe fucked Matt very proudly on camera. His response thereafter, “DO NOT get attached to me. No cuddling.” Aww, romance is alive in the BB house. I also enjoyed Matt’s very manly request that Natalie pinky swear that she won’t tell anyone. He’s a real tough guy. Natalie, your non-stop whining has already disgusted the viewers, so try to shut your fucking mouth (even though I know it’s hard for you with your apparent dick-sucking habit).
May as well stay on the topic of Matt and his boys, Alex and especially Parker. Aren’t these guys just so fucking hot and cool? Gameplay-wise, these guys are superstars. Alex has nominated his best buddy Parker (who is likely going to get evicted), Parker has angered every single person and tried to turn the house on his own partner (does he understand that if she goes, he goes?), and they came out of the gates so wildly at least two of them will be out before the jury for certain. I laughed out loud when I saw Parker walking around in the crown…great play, asshole. Matt looks like a complete douche bag and he and his wifey Alex make an adorable couple. Meet the new Scott and Jase. They did well, expect a similar result.
How about my good friend Gretchen Massey, the embarassing host of House Calls? I have a major bone to pick with her cowardly actions. This woman talks shit on 95% of the houseguests all year long, only to kiss their asses in person and back down. It took Gretchen all of two days to say how annoying it is to listen to our voices. Meanwhile, this woman was bowing down before me when she interviewed me in person. This comes from a host who doesn’t even have the common courtesy to learn the contestants names. Isn’t that your job? Even after posting this blog, Gretchen is apt to call me up and ask me out for ice cream…could you be any more fake? Undoubtedly upping the caliber of the show this year will be the appearances by the Donato family! It’s very nice that Dick refused to do it unless they gave Daniele a job too. I like that kind of family support, haha. I am particularly excited for Daniele’s insight - “HONESTLY…this episode was sooooo FRUSTRATING. I HATE EVERYONE! I HATE THESE PEOPLE! WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH! I’m the biggest bitch in BB history! Woe is me! Can we talk about me and not these people?” That sort of expert analysis is second to none.
To my good friends…the obese, sad-sack, pathetic, no-life assholes that hide behind their computer keyboards and talk shit on us. Get a fucking life. This concept is pretty simple to understand. Let’s see…we were on a national TV show. I’ve owned my own company, worked for World Wrestling Entertainment, represented Academy Award winning actors. In the past two days we’ve been on two national TV shows, with another to come for me in a couple of days. Jess is a radio star, hosting and producing two shows a day on a top radio station, and that’s while she’s getting her degree, performing in two professional dance teams, and taking on about a zillion other upcoming projects. We have lives. Great ones at that. You guys (and you know who you are) spend your days trolling our websites. Reading articles ABOUT US. And commenting on what WE are doing. Who do you think is a bigger loser? The people who are having successful careers in the entertainment industry or the people that spend their time, 5 months after we left the house, still stalking our every move and whining about it. I feel bad for you…get a life, a hobby, liposuction, anything. You are sadly depressed and pathetic.
Man, it was my intention to discuss my fellow HGs from our cast as well, but this is already pretty long - so let me simply say fuck you Carol/Kail/Amber for the hell of it - you all still suck badly. And I’d be remiss to forget Janelle…only a few more months til you can rock out those one piece bathing suits again! As for Dick, get a grip buddy. You don’t grasp the concept of America’s Player. How do you still not get it? I was contractually obligated to do these tasks - I couldn’t pick and choose. It did not “help me” to not choose who to target/who to vote for. In fact, the only strikes against me in the house were the banner/long DR sessions/hinky votes - which were all directly as a result of AP. You didn’t strategize or implement shit! You would have gone home, plain and simple, in week 6! You fucked up by targetting me and made your own grave. ONLY the America’s Player concept and having the support of the top player in the game saved you. It’s that simple. Your pitch to me was complete shit and I would have never aligned with you if I wasn’t smart enough to realize that’s what needed to be done within the scope of the twist. You know how you always talk about your amazing gameplan that would have sent me home for sure after week 6 if you went home…guess what, you’re wrong fucktard! First of all, you DID NOT have the votes secured. So even if the plan was implemented, Dustin would have gone home…not me. Secondly, if Jen had won HoH, she was going after Daniele…not me! Just thought I’d clarify that, so you can finally stop talking about it. Plain and simple, you survived because I wasn’t allowed to target you…8 consecutive people I had to get nominated got nominated…it’s not a coincidence. And Dick, if you can’t stand the heat…get out of the kitchen. You wanna blog about how fake and two-faced the other HGs are…well tell me, why is it that the same week you talked trash on me in multiple interviews, you also gave me a phone call asking me to help you with your upcoming projects, asking us to work together, and saying how you’ve always liked me so much? Talk about two-faced. But you know what…as you point out so frequently yourself, it’s nothing personal…just stating my opinion as you do. You’ve talked trash on me dozens of times and in your eyes it hasn’t affected our friendship, so I don’t see why me saying this should affect anything for us. Consider us still on good terms!
In conclusion, I have a suggestion for you. If you don’t like what I had to say in this blog…stop coming to my page. Stop reading up on me. Stop hating and get a life for yourselves.
Oh, by the way…good luck to James/Chelsia, Adam/Sheila, and Joshuah/Sharon - we’ll be rooting for you bigtime!!!

***

So, what do you think? I’m not sure what to think. And, sadly enough, I think I like the side drama between Eric and the other BB8 houseguests. Perhaps they can all have a rumble in the log cabin.

Anyway, we’ve got shows Tuesday and Wednesday night with an eviction coming up in two days. I probably won’t get to any clips tonight but will definitely try to get some in the next two days for sure and keep you apprised of the voting situation.

When I looked to the biggest moment of Big Brother 8, I looked beyond my personal preferences. Most all these moments were fun or exciting or meaningful relative to the game.

But there was only one moment I can recall from last season that had us all on the edge of our seat: Dustin’s eviction.

Some of us wanted it to happen, and others were dreading it. As Tuesday and Wednesday turned to Thursday, none of us were sure what would happen because the house dialogue changed and changed and changed throughout the week.

Of course, Dustin thought he would sail through a Dick Donato elimination. He even considered donning his robe and crown, which would have made for double the fun in this, our No. 1 clip from BB8:

One of the tenets of the Big Brother game, is that houseguests trust each other at their own peril. On one hand, we like players who tell it like it is.

On the other hand, unless you lie at some point, you will be evicted. You cannot win this game without deception.

And there was no important act of deception last season than when Danielle and Kail were hanging like bats in that mid-season HoH competition. Kail could have stayed there all night, and Dani says she could have, too.

Kail asks Dani, if she were to let her win HoH, if she would be spared eviction. Danielle swears to it, blah blah blah.

Could you not see this coming?

Kail hops off. Dani is HoH, and Kail was evicted the next week, not because of anything Danielle specifically did to target her but because Kail’s eviction was expedient.

And I thought Kail had watched Big Brother before?

Alas, Kail’s eviction was the first of two key evictions that led to Dick Donato’s win. In many ways, it was brilliant game play that led to E.D.’s victory. But in many other ways, the Donatos lucked out big time at the expense of others’ foolishness.

And relative to turning points of a Big Brother season, for BB8, there were few bigger.

During Big Brother 8, those of us on this blog talked extensively about religion.

No, we weren’t debating Scriptures or learning about world views. We were discussing the relevance of religion in reality television, specifically what some of us perceived to be a (superficial?) grab for God in the Big Brother house.

If Amber wasn’t praying, “God Bless You, God,” (greatest. line. ever.) then Jameka was invoking the Bible in one breath while cussing like a fiend in the next. Not that the faithful don’t cuss and not that any of us are near perfect, but faith and the perceptions of those who consider themselves faithful played a big role in BB8.

Let us not forget that our champion from last season, the venerable E.D., was born to an ordained minister, a verified woman of the cloth who feeds the homeless and shelters the poor, as the elder Donato reminded us time and time again.

Amber approached religion from what I would call a helper mentality. God, please help me through this day. God, please help me win. That’s fine, and many of us walk along that same path.

However, Jameka was an Old Testament soul. Very Calvinistic. She believed everything in the house was preordained. Nothing she could do nor nothing she didn’t do would have an effect on the outcome of Big Brother 8.

If that’s the case, then why was sister Jameka on her knees in our No. 4 clip of Big Brother 8?

Seriously. That clip makes me grin every time I see it because it encompasses so much about any given moment in the Big Brother house. At any nanosecond, one person can be experiencing despair in the same environment in which somebody experiences joy. And Jen’s hilarious pursuit of a decent belt was one of my favorite moments of the season.

But don’t think for a second that the argument Jameka and Amber waged with Dick wasn’t more entertaining. I’ve told you guys before; I leave those live feeds each night waiting for a “Hell, yeah” moment, and there was none better than this bitchfest.

What I wonder still to this day is whether or not Jameka thinks God preordained this clip? Hilarity ensues at No. 3:

No. 2 comes up tomorrow night, and Sunday will bring us No. 1. Hey, you still have a few days to get that live feed before the season starts. Can’t wait until the games begin!

Looks like Big Brother 9 is going to be fascinating, what with the whole couples’ play. It brings a whole new dynamic to the Big Brother franchise — and, frankly, I’m stoked.

However, let’s speed up our look back at BB8, taking a look at a pair of clips that we think made the season great. It’s No. 6 and 5 on our Top 8 for Season 8.

No. 6: Tea for one.

Big Brother 8 was fairly standard until about the third week. I recall one day thinking how unlively this bunch was and then noting that all the guys were shaving their hair into mohawks.

“Hmm, that’s odd,” I thought.

In retrospect, I realize now that it was about this time that Big Brother 8 turned fun. Everybody went nuts at once, and it culminated in a late evening of arguing and fighting and, eventually, of borderline physical assault.

Evel Dick didn’t have too much to do with the argument at hand (that was mostly Nick and Jen with lots of whining *sorry* from Danielle). However, I really enjoyed E.D. for stirring the pot, and he moseyed on by Jen and just poured a glass of freshly-brewed ice tea on Jen’s luscious locks.

No lie: I thought Dick might get evicted on the spot for some sort of foul or by some sort of penalty. And to be honest, Jen took it like she did everything else in the game — chilled out. She never gave the others the reaction they sought.

From the viewer’s perspective (me), it was win-win.

No. 5: Jen fights back.

Weeks and weeks of the bickering and picking and hatred continued, and finally, Jen knew she was knee-deep in a hole from which she couldn’t climb.

She thought she scored an ace by destroying Dick’s smokes. But she was soon told that while she could hide anything, she could destroy nothing. Because Jen believed producers had told her differently before the show started and because she knew that Dick’s replacement carton was symbolic of her fate, she rebelled.

Though on slop, she started eating regular food.

And because Dick is a devoted lover of all things Marlboro Red, he did what he does. He smoked.

He smoked. She ate. She asked him to quit blowing smoke on her. He said she could (insert epithet here), and then she bowed up to him, giving one the feeling she might attempt a beat down.

However, for Jen Johnson, it was far too little too late. Dick had already established himself as the alpha male in that house, and her decision to fight fire with fire so late in the game was futile (but darned enjoyable).

Eric Stein’s time in the Big Brother house last season was a roller coaster ride. It started way up, given that he was America’s Player, seemingly in the good graces of BB fans worldwide.

He did our dirty work, dousing Jen’s clothes with mustard. Voting to evict who we wanted. Acting a fool on our behalf.

However, the general consensus among Eric haters was that he behaved in a manner befitting a weasel, and some of those haters darn near outed Stein as America’s Player with a banner labeling the New Yorker as a liar.

Nick Starcevic had been evicted, and romantics worldwide united to take it out on Eric. Well, not really, but they definitely blamed Eric for what led to his ouster, and that roller coaster trekked downward quickly.

However, voting irregularities regarding Nick’s eviction were the least of Eric’s troubles. No, siree.

No, he drew the wrath of Amber “God Bless You, God” Tomcavage.

She apparently told him a secret regarding an abortion. Forgetting somehow that everything she says is amplified via a technology called microphone, Amber flew into a rage befitting a meth addict when she found out Eric had suggested that he might use the secret against her.

What played out was pure gold. By Tuesday or Wednesday of that week, whichever day this went down, Eric was already a beaten pup, and Amber was at the top of the dogpile.

Anyway, “God Bless You, God” for our fond memories of the No. 7 clip from Big Brother 8.

Before we delve into Big Brother 9 (remember: cast revealed Feb. 6 on CBS’ The Early Show), I thought we could relive BB8 in the form of some of the summer’s greatest moments.

What makes a great Big Brother moment?

To me, it’s a Big Brother moment that either sets the tone for something, alters the face of game-play or presents us with an immortal snippet of entertainment.

This first clip did at least two of the three, and it came on the season’s introductory episode. As Dick Donato, Jessica Hughbanks and Dustin Erikstrup sat in the HoH room, 11 houseguests got word that three people from the past were sitting upstairs.

Immediately, Joe Barber told these strangers that he was sure his ex-boyfriend was one of these “people from the past,” noting that Dustin had allegedly given him an STD and that — in return — Joe willfully set out to “ruin this man.”

It was catty. It was high drama, and it was shocking — and on the first night to boot. I might be in the minority, but I think BB8 ranks among the best seasons of the show, and boy did Joe Barber set the tone and provide us with a hilarious clip … my No. 8 clip for Season 8. Enjoy.

Hey, gang. BBBlogger has been holding up the fort, but I’ve returned tanned, rested and ready for a new season of Big Brother 9. And, we now know it will be a full season.

There will be 14 houseguests, and BB9 will last into May. This won’t be a truncated season.

What we know about this season is that the house has been redesigned a bit to reflect the fact that it’s a winter season. Part of the house looks a tad like a log cabin, and the pool is heated.

It’s been rumored that both Dick Donato and Janelle Pierzina will have roles on BB9, but at this point it doesn’t appear that it will be as houseguests. But they could host House Calls together.

I’ve heard whispers of celebrities participating (Joey Buttafuoco) and rumblings of firsts (a transsexual). However, there is no firm feeling that BB9 will be anything but a traditional, kick-ass season.

The craziest thing happened during the off-season, by the way. Nick and Danielle broke up, and the Minnesota hunk is now dating Jen Johnson. No kidding.

I’m a 37-year-old straight man, and I feel like a chatty schoolgirl.

Should it really surprise us? Heck, no, because life does not reflect the Big Brother house. The house is a venue in which reality is tuned on its heels, where its guests expect the unexpected and live by fatalistic credos like “it is what it is.”

While CBS is promoting Big Brother 9 with Oklahoma’s own All-American Rejects singing “Dirty Little Secret,” and host Julie Chen saying, “Now, that’s good television,” those of us die-hards know that Big Brother is not merely a television show.

It’s pretty much the greatest pop-culture game in modern times.

Be honest. How many of you would give an unnecessary body part to be able to be in the house for the summer (or winter)? How many of you would admit that the money wouldn’t even be that big of a motivator; it would be the chance to participate in this circus that would attract you?

Well, many of us — including several readers of big-brother-blog.com — have mastered the process of enjoying Big Brother to the point that it’s almost like being there. So, to kick off my portion of the BB9 season, I want to give you guys a master class in how to get the most out of your Big Brother season.

Starting tonight, by the way, I’ll start counting down the Top 8 moments from Big Brother 8. Oh, and set your DVRs for CBS’ The Early Show on Feb. 6, when Julie Chen will be on to introduce the Big Brother 9 cast.

How To Get The Most Out Of BB9

First and foremost, either get a DVR or plan to be in front of the TV on Sunday nights, Tuesday nights and especially Thursday nights. Fans of the show know this, but it helps to remind you. And if you have vacation days to kill during the first two quarters of the business year, make them Thursdays so you can stay up all night watching the live feeds after Head of Household.

And that brings me to the live feeds. Yes, we would love it if you signed up for a live feed through big-brother-blog.com. But I can verify to you independent of any ulterior motivation that having access to a live feed is the single most important thing you can do to enjoy Big Brother.

During BB8, I kept my live feed open most of the time when I was home. Now, I didn’t always pay attention to it, but it was pretty much always on — just in case. The best times to watch were typically between 4 and 6 p.m. PST and after 11 p.m. PST. While Showtime’s After Dark purports to give Big Brother fans an uncensored look at the goings-on inside the house, houseguests typically kept it pretty boring during Showtime’s live hours.

Of course, you’ll want to visit big-brother-blog.com, but if you can only surf at home or work or have some serious time limitations (or have a life), I’ll give you the skinny. Bookmark us, and make it a point to check back often between Wednesday night and Sunday morning.

We’ll keep you apprised of the house happenings leading up to eviction nights, and — believe me — things can change at the last minute, providing a depth of coverage just watching the television show can never provide. Plus, you’ll want to know who wins PoV before TV night, and you’ll only get that online.

Besides, much of the drama goes down on Wednesday or Thursday, particularly after the eviction. The most beautiful thing about Big Brother, to me, is that it’s a moving, dynamic game. Its favorites one week can be pawns the next. It’s ever-changing, and the HoH contest itself — something that lasts all of five minutes usually — sets in motion the Big Brother world for the next seven days and often rewrites pop culture history.

Take for example, my absolute favorite HoH competition from Big Brother 8. This clip encompassed so much about the season, from Jameka’s questionably brilliant decision to sit out five competitions (seemed stupid at the time) to the insanity of the bunny suits to Jen’s ditziness to one of several questionable HoH moves made by the show itself (in this case, Julie calling Eric, “Nick”) and most of all to how Jessica’s victory not only made her a player but also saved Eric’s ass — the night after a week in which he was just emotionally beaten up by most of the other houseguests, all unknowing that he was America’s Player.

Here’s how crazy this show is to its most loyal fans. There is a war happening on this planet. There is poverty in the world, and small children go hungry at night. And I was thrilled beyond thrilled for 36 hours beyond anything going on in my life that Jessica had just won HoH.

Booyah!

To get the most out of Big Brother, you really should become a student of the game. I would submit there is a ton about this show we can take away into real life. Learning how to read people. Learning how to play nicer. Learning how to coexist with people in close proximity for long periods of time.

Not that we’re paying attention to anything like that while we watch, but oddly enough, I absolutely think I’m a better student of human behavior because of this show. It’s also possible that my ticket to Hell is punched because I revel in the hatefulness so much.

By the end of a season, you’ll be ready for it to be over, only to get super excited for it months down the line. That’s no different than what sports fans go through each season. And if you really want to experience Big Brother, getting that DVR ready and accessing a live feed are the most practical ways to stay attuned to the action.

But if you try to watch this by yourself, without somebody you can talk to about the house and its daily developments, you’ll find the Big Brother experience to be frustrating. Like a singer who has a song but no vocal chords.

That’s where the community comes in. Us. Hop onto our comments section and post away. Defend a houseguest. Crucify another. To be perfectly honest, depending on the day, I vacillated about Evel Dick about 4,500 times last season.

But we all did about some things or another last season. Heck, if you’re like me, you can’t just walk away from your job to go live in a house with strangers, even if it’s for a chance at $500,000.

However, I’d be totally lying to you if I didn’t stress how fun this show can be even from afar … well, like I said, with the right tools and the right community.

Remember. Tonight starts our Top 8 of Season 8. In the meantime, tell us how YOU get the most out of your Big Brother season.

It has been very fun getting the blog ready for the upcoming season. So far for me the best thing is getting emails from other fans of the blog and the show. The countdown is fun and I hope that people keep sending in their numbers.

Today’s number comes from another football fan. Matt in Ohio wants to share his number 21 with the world via the Big Brother Blog! Here is his submission!

**go Pats**

With the number 21 we are only 3 weeks away…and this season we are bound to see a bunch of unique house guests. I am guessing there will be some that are way too beautiful for their own good “Jen Johnson”, way too planning and smart to even have a chance at winning “Kail”, way too expert at Big Brother and how to play the game where in the end it will only mean you come up short “Eric” or way too mean, rude and gross that everyone is scared to vote you out and you will even win the 500,000 prize! “Evel Dick”

So the houseguests will be known over the next 2 weeks and the show will start weather we are ready or not for it on Feb. 12! I for one cannot wait!

I will be announcing my first contest tomorrow. It will not be the iPod one since I have suffered a small set back with the script. Instead it will be one where someone will win access to the Live Feeds for Free!

Hope everyone is having a great night and feel free to watch American Idol and visit us on American-Idol-Blog.com!

Peace, BBBlogger
