BB18 Cast Reveal Thread (Cast reveal on Tuesday 14th of June)

Big Brother 18: Live Feeds Details Released For Upcoming Season

CBS has released to us the first details on the summer’s Big Brother 18 Live Feeds coming up next month when the new season debuts on June 22nd including the Big Brother cast reveal date.

Big Brother Live Feeds & BB18 preseason marathon

We talked with CBS today and learned a lot of key dates and details about the Feeds including when we’ll meet the Big Brother 18 cast and the launch of a Big Brother marathon on All Access!

Once again this year CBS is offering up the Live Feeds as a way to watch Big Brother in real-time as it happens via dozens of cameras and microphones around the BB18 house. We’ll be able to watch the Houseguests plot and plan their next moves, developing showmances, and even big endurance competitions for Head of Household. Here’s what we know so far on what’s coming our way.

Big Brother 18 & Live Feeds Key Dates:

May 23rd – Big Brother Marathon on All Access – Every episode of every season
June 13th – Meet the Big Brother 18 Houseguests! Live broadcast that morning
June 22nd – Big Brother 18 starts at 8PM ET/PT
June 23rd – Big Brother Live Feeds start at 10PM PT (1AM ET)
So yes, we’ll get the Feeds starting up after the second episode of the season like we’ve seen the past few years. Let’s hope that doesn’t mean any sort of “fan favorite” BotB, right?

Cast reveal is going to be awesome. We really liked how they rolled it out last year with the Feeds while our interviews were taking place so we could live Tweet the event and meet them together.

More important details on this season’s Live Feeds on All Access:

Price will be $5.99/month after one-week Free Trial
Stream your Feeds on Apple TV, Roku Players, Chromecast, Android TV, Fire TV, and Xbox 360

Watch Big Brother episodes live stream in All Access (depending on market)
Unfortunately Canada is again not able to sign up directly since All Access is still US-only
Jeff Schroeder will be doing eviction interviews

Meet The New Big Brother Season 18 Cast Before Anyone Else!
Watch Jeff Schroeder introduce the new cast on Monday, June 13 at 11 AM EST / 8 AM PST.

On Monday, June 13 at 11 AM EST / 8 AM PST, Big Brother fans can turn on the Live Feeds—available on CBS.com and CBS All Access—and meet the cast of Season 18 for the very first time!

That's more than a full week before the season premiere, which airs on Wednesday, June 22 at 8/7c.

Jeff Schroeder, from Seasons 11 and 13, will act as host and personally introduce each new Houseguest to Feeders, much like last year. For example, check out the first impression Season 17 HG Johnny Mac made on fans. http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/news/sme/189/8-times-dr-john-schooled-the-houseguests-with-his-dental-knowledge/

[Insert the dentist's signature laugh here.]



Before the meet and greet goes down on Monday, June 13, we caught up with Jeff Schroeder to find out how he's prepping for the Season 18 inauguration.

What question are you dying to ask the new Houseguests?

Jeff Schroeder: Each year, my favorite question to ask every new Houseguest is: "Would you rather lose and be loved by America, or win and be hated?" That's because, to me, their answer sums up why they are really there. There is no right or wrong way to answer, but it's usually a good indicator of how they're going to play the game.



What advice would you give the new Houseguests?

Jeff Schroeder: Play hard and, most importantly, have fun! The game's not over until you walk out that front door—and, sometimes, it's not over even then, so never quit! You're gonna have highs and lows in the house, but try to soak in every unique experience and moment. Whether it's being HOH or spending a week eating slop, try to have a good attitude and have fun with it all because, even with all the down time, it goes by fast. Enjoy it while you can!

Stay tuned for even more juicy tidbits in anticipation of the new season of Big Brother, which premieres on Wednesday, June 22 at 8/7c.

[Braden]

I forgot the reveal was so soon. It still feels like the reveal should be in a weeks time.

I hope the guy from WeLoveBigBrother is still part of press day because he wasn't last year and I enjoyed his interviews the most,

IT'S 2016....

[Lostie!]

Can Jeff **** off already?

[Headie]

4pm UK time, correct?

[Pete.]

Can Jeff **** off already?
At least this means he's not an HM

[Dominic]

Johnny Whack, reading Grodner's lines to please America's catladies, what a king :clap1:

[Firewire]

It's been postponed til tuesday now

[Headie]

It's been postponed til tuesday now

Welp why

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Oh I was looking forward to this today :(

[854]

Welp why

The Orlando gay club shooting people are saying.

[BBfanUSA]

Welp why

BB officially said that it's because of the Orlando shooting.

So maybe they informed the hgs? :shrug:

[AarynGriesfan]

BB officially said that it's because of the Orlando shooting.

So maybe they informed the hgs? :shrug:

Yeah that makes sense. They did it for 9/11 as well.

[Braden]

Yeah, I've heard that one of the houseguests may have known someone who was killed/injured in the shootings :(

[Pete.]

Hope everyone's OK http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/customavatars/avatar91501_1.gif

[Wizard.]

This only makes sense if a HG knew someone from the shooting or the club was close to home, I hope they're not using it as an excuse just to put if off

[AarynGriesfan]

Yeah, I've heard that one of the houseguests may have known someone who was killed/injured in the shootings :(

I hope this isn't true but since 99% of big brother rumors are false I think we can probably take it with a grain of salt.

[Braden]

I hope this isn't true but since 99% of big brother rumors are false I think we can probably take it with a grain of salt.

Yeah, it might not be true since they've confirmed that they're filming the interviews today. One of the rumoured houseguests was rumoured to be from Orlando though.

[Braden]

...Does anybody know what time the cast will be revealed in the UK?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Possible leak of 2?

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ck6lb9OWUAAUPV2.jpg

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ck6hulnWYAApKYV.jpg

Related to Amber BB16 and Amanda BB15?

Looks like Frankie and Davonne at the top as well

[Braden]

According to Tumblr the Zimmerman and Borzotra names were faked (Amanda's surname is Zuckerman anyway, but Amber locked her Twitter account quite recently so who knows.

Not too long till we find out (that's if the interviews aren't decoys like osme people have speculated :p).

[Braden]

Oh, GinaMarie's surname is Zimmerman.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Sorry my bad I thought that was Amandas surname.

Has to be fake as AMber and Ginamare are wtf returns lol

[Jack_]

welp Blood vs Water?

[LukeB]

frankie can **** off if that's him.scum

[Jack_]

The vets at the top are houseguest hot seat interviews, not Jeff's

This looks shopped

[Braden]

They're pretty much confirmed to be fake.

[Raph]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ck6n-VRUYAAEzNw.jpg:large

So is this real or? :S Not here for Frankie's return one bit

[LukeB]

I don't think Rachel will do it because she's just had a baby ;/

[LukeB]

She was jogging with her dog yesteday too.

[Raph]

So I wonder how these pictures were made? She even looks like she was recently pregnant in that picture. But surely they wouldn't bring Rachel back for a third time in 7 seasons?

[Braden]

I'm pretty sure those interviews are all from when they did The Price Is Right :p

[LukeB]

So I wonder how these pictures were made? She even looks like she was recently pregnant in that picture. But surely they wouldn't bring Rachel back for a third time in 7 seasons?

I think it was from the price is right because I remember that dress and don't forget Janelle/Boogie did BB 3 times.

[VanessaFeltz.]

these were for big brother superlatives or something

[Ross.]

Da'Vonne :love:

[Raph]

Ah you're right they are from the price is right! good catch Braden! hmm I just want the cast NOW!!!

[LukeB]

742722539970035712

[DrunkerThanMoses]

:fc:

Still hope to NO Davonne, James or Frank

[LukeB]

As much as I want Nicole, I want a whole new cast.

[Natalie.]

So it is revealed 9pm here?

[Raph]

That's correct as it's Eastern time, it's always 5 hours behind London time! :)

[LukeB]

So it is revealed 9pm here?

Yep. Big Brother uk is on at 10pm so you can't get distracted :D

[rk3388]

Ariane Grande for blood vs water :joker:

[Pete.]

A tad excited http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/duca_zps480ab501.gif

[MB.]

I wonder if they've managed to cast the ~14 people who actually enjoy Battle of the Block

[Ross.]

I'm ready for this http://z5.ifrm.com/30443/89/0/e5329325//e5329325.gif

[Firewire]

Yep. Big Brother uk is on at 10pm so you can't get distracted :D

It's 9 tonight :(

[Mitchell]

If frankies back in I'm out forever :p

[Pete.]

Remember when Nikki's BBCAN interviews leaked and everyone thought fake because why would Jase and some random girl called Veronica be asked? I wouldn't dismiss anything

[Mitchell]

:joker:

[JerseyWins]

Lmao @ the thought of Amber's and Ginamarie's sisters(?) being on the show. :joker:

Would not be happy with almost all of those returnees though... glad it's probably just photoshopped from Price is Right if that's true.

[Samm]

Ready to be excited and choose my favs and them all to be evicted in the space of five weeks!

[Mokka]

Ready to be excited and choose my favs and them all to be evicted in the space of five weeks!


:joker::joker:

5 weeks is generous... I give it three :hehe:

[Firewire]

Cast revealed!

Only 12 though...

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/big-brother-18-houseguests-revealed-902605?utm_source=twitter

[Braden]

Cody's brother and Vanessa's sister confirmed.

[Firewire]

So are we getting 4 former players?

[Braden]

This cast seems really cute on first impressions actually.

[LukeB]

This cast seems really cute on first impressions actually.

I agree.

[karl100589]

Zakiyah to become the inevitable overrated forum favourite?

[MB.]

Someone might want to let CBS know that they accidentally let somebody over the age of 35 slip through the net

[Jack_]

welp when I clicked the CBS link it had the BB17 cast and I thought we were getting a redux

[Lostie!]

Not them sneaking Jenn's brother in without mentioning it.

[Xtopher]

Michelle cause she's a redditor and Glenn :love:

[Braden]

I agree.

I want to put Bridgette in my pocket.

I cant wait see if Tiffany is similar to Vanessa :love:

[Headie]

Zakiyah to become the inevitable overrated forum favourite?

It's funny how black girls will never be deemed correctly rated in your eyes... always "overrated".

[MB.]

If anything Tiffany will probably be the Elissa to Vanessa's Rachel

[Jack_]

can they hurry up and confirm the vets plz idc about the newbies

I swear to God if it's that trash second list with James and Nicole

[Headie]

Returnees must be confirmed then, praying Da'Vonne is one she deserves a second chance

[LukeB]

I want to put Bridgette in my pocket.

I cant wait see if Tiffany is similar to Vanessa :love:

Me about Natalie. I can't wait until we see them talk to Jeff (well I assume that will happen soon)

But everyone is so young in their 20s and you got only one person who is 50 ;/

[Firewire]

Returnees must be confirmed then, praying Da'Vonne is one she deserves a second chance

Da'Vonne hasn't tweeted in 6 days

I hope she's back

[Headie]

Maybe all the HGs are related to former HGs in some way?

[Jack_]

I'd be happy to see Day again but the others on her list would be crap

[Jack_]

someone looked at the source code of the website earlier and apparently found the word 'vote' so maybe we're voting from a pool of vets?

[karl100589]

It's funny how black girls will never be deemed correctly rated in your eyes... always "overrated".

I'll appreciate a black woman on reality shows when I think that they're great characters (Tiffany, Makosi, Britnee Blair etc.), but there have been so many black or mixed-race women over the years that are given unjust appreciation that I can't fathom. Vanessa LM was the biggest dullard of BB6, Day was a unfunny try-hard and Naeha was an overplaying second boot.

[Braden]

I think...

The foursome consisting of Da'Vonne, Frank, James & Nicole are coming back.

[LukeB]

Naeha is asian though not black.

[LukeB]

I think...

The foursome consisting of Da'Vonne, Frank, James & Nicole are coming back.

Here for Day,James and Nicole tbh

[Braden]

I'm excited but it will inevitably end with despair by like week three :joker:

[Headie]

Apparently the 4 returnees are James, DaVonne, Nicole and Frank but idk how true that is

EDIT: Oop already posted

[Headie]

First of all Naeha isn't black, so stop being ignorant

Vanessa and DaVonne are both great housemates, it's funny how when a black girl has the expected fans they are all clocked, yet when a "lad" has the expected fans nothing is said :whistle:

[VanessaFeltz.]

Apparently the 4 returnees are Jen Johnson, DaVonne, Jackie and Michele Noonan but idk how true that is

This should've been the real list

[Braden]

Glenn really does stick out like a sore thumb :joker: He's literally the only 30+ player among a cast of twenty-something contestants, lmao (I don't know Tiffany and Paul's ages?).

[Samm]

Vanessa Dominique Layton-McIntosh WAS NOT dull let me say that

[LukeB]

Glenn really does stick out like a sore thumb :joker: He's literally the only 30+ player among a cast of twenty-something contestants, lmao (I don't know Tiffany and Paul's ages?).

Tiffany is 32

[LukeB]

http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/photos/1006596/big-brother-season-18-meet-the-new-cast/?ftag=MKT-01-10aaa7c

tells you more about Tiffany and Paul.

[MB.]

Yeah I see it's already been stated that Naeha really wasn't black at all

[Braden]

Tiffany is 32

Tiffany representing the 30+ female dynamic (not that Iactually care, lmao) :love:

[Samm]

Tiffany, Zakiyah, Natalie, Michelle, Jozea & Bronte are my first impression favourites!

[Jay28jay2]

Tiffany Rousso, GODDESS OMG I LOVE HA'

I LOVE VANESSA ROUSSO AND NOW HER SISTER IS COMING ON YASSS. She won something called Solitary 2.0 which is actually hosted by Audrey Middleton over the internet

[Samm]

No stand out hot guys this year :/ I think Victor is probably the best looking out of the men

[Braden]

I'm posting my thoughts:

Bronte: Looks like a beta character in a slasher film. 'I also run, look at adoptable dogs, stretch, and walk to the mall to purchase more hair accessories.'...amazing.

Paulie (oh okay 'Paulie', lmao): He has his top off in his CBS picture so he's already provided his worth.

Zakiyah: Stunning.

Paulie: Sticks out because of his age and his evidently average looks in contrast to everyone else in the cast :p

Natalie: It's cool they've chosen someone from South America. I hope she has no idea what Big Brother is and is clueless throughout the game.

Victor: Sleazy from first impressions. One of those guys who goes on and on about women and money http://www.*************/images/smilies/bb/pukeon.gif

Bridgette: Adorable. I take to women with bobs quite nicely tbh. SHe's a fellow Yogi so I naturally have to root for her.

Jozea: My shallow side is happy they've cast a (somewhat) cute gay guy. I'm being presumptious about his sexuality but he's a make-up artist so enough said, lmao.

Tiffany: I hope she's here to earn Vanessa's win that she rightfully deserved. I think she'll be good competition-wise like Vanessa.

Corey: Meh.

Michelle: I have a random feeling she'll either be spectacularly loved or really hated on this forum.

Paul: He seems cool. I don't know what role he'll fit into this season....whether he's actually quite reserved and the look is the only striking thing about him, or he's going to be similar to Jace from last season.

[Daniel-X]

Zakiyah to become the inevitable overrated forum favourite?

This says more about you than the ones who like her. You're basically saying she'll be **** cos she's an African-American woman and that TIBB will only like her because she's African-American.

Why don't you get to know her first at least? :conf:

[JerseyWins]

Yikes @ 2 of them listing Frankie Grande in their favorites.

Also, Natalie looks like an older Ariana Grande to me. :joker:

[LukeB]

Yikes @ 2 of them listing Frankie Grande in their favorites.

Also, Natalie looks like an older Ariana Grande to me. :joker:

where are people seeing the favourites from :suspect:

[JerseyWins]

where are people seeing the favourites from :suspect:
On cbs.com under cast. Not sure if you need to have CBS All Access or not.

[LukeB]

On cbs.com under cast. Not sure if you need to have CBS All Access or not.

I think that might me it, I really want to know who likes who etc

[Braden]

Me getting my hopes up about this cast:

https://67.media.tumblr.com/dc5ee6c3af4789338b56d2dfdcc0a7d9/tumblr_inline_o8rxb4G2Af1r086fu_500.gif

[LukeB]

I hope we find out if they are returnees before next week ;/

[LukeB]

The cast also seems far more diverse than past seasons, with several Hispanic houseguests. However, the age range is still skewing young, with 10 of them in their 20s. Tiffany is 32, and the one old man is 50, much older than we've seen in recent seasons. In fact, Glenn is the oldest HG since Jerry and Renny from season 10 and he's only the fifth person over 50 ever (Gerry from season 3 and Jack from season 4 being the others).

If the rumors are true, these 12 newbies will be joined by Da'Vonne Rogers, James Huling, Nicole Franzel and Frank Eudy in some capacity. More twists will be revealed later and the season will last a record 99 days.

:omgno: did anyone know it's going to be 99 days?

[JerseyWins]

Luke (and anyone else who hasn't seen it), here's the little biographies for everyone:

Paul Abrahamian
Age: 23
Hometown: Tarzana, CA
Current City: Tarzana, CA
Occupation: Clothing designer
Three adjectives that describe you: Honest, spontaneous, and energetic.

Favorite Activities: I love to play music, so a jam session is always good. I love going to shows and concerts for the crowd surfing, mosh pits, stage diving, [and] all the fun stuff.

Traveling, hiking and sightseeing are definitely solid activities. I enjoy the outdoors, like the woods and mountains. I'm a thrill seeker, so [I like] essentially anything that can fuel that. I do enjoy a good night out with friends at a fun speakeasy bar in L.A., like Davey Wayne’s and No Vacancy.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
I'd say adapting to everyone's personalities, dynamics, likes, and dislikes all at once. Also, feeling people out and seeing just how much of my blunt and dry humor they can take. I'm not worried about it; I thrive on situations and circumstances like this.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
If there's one trait that I'm confident about, it's that I'm sneaky. I'm very observant, remember things and handle high stress situations well. I’ll probably use people's weaknesses against them. It's very hard to get underneath my skin, but very easy for me to get underneath yours, so I think I can mentally crack any member. I'm really good at getting people to do what I want [and] getting them to think they're on top of a situation when, really, they're not.

My life’s motto is…
To live my life in such a fulfilling way that when I'm on my deathbed, there's nothing left for me to experience.

What would you take into the house, and why?
First, [I’d take] my guitar because I love to play and write music. I think it could be fun to have it in the house and start live jams with other housemates. Also, beer and my dogs. That’d be great.

Victor Arroyo
Age: 25
Hometown: Slidell, LA
Current City: Slidell, LA
Occupation: Gym manager
Three adjectives that describe you: Smart, sexy, and fit.

Favorite Activities: Working out, playing soccer, and [taking] trips with my friends. Those are the things I love to do, but more than that, I love women. I'm always looking for the next girl to talk to and I'm never satisfied with what I have; I’m always wanting more.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Being disconnected from the outside world and not knowing what my family and friends are up to, or what’s going on in the world, like the race for president, social media, etc. Not being in-the-know will definitely aggravate me. Also, being one Google search away from proving someone wrong will be the hardest thing, ever.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
I’m not entirely sure what I will do. Wooing the girls and having them like me is on the list. I want to underplay how smart I am and hopefully have them think I'm just a dumb guy that likes to lift and works at a gym. That might work in my favor since they will think I'm only good in physical challenges.

I want to be part of two alliances, but be loyal to one. That way, I don’t put all my eggs in one basket. I won’t change my personality though. I'll still be the funny guy that I am and do my best to stay on everyone’s good side, while slowly stabbing people in the back.

My life’s motto is…
Get my money, develop my body, and get women.

What would you take into the house, and why?
My flat bill hat because I always wear it—every day—and it’s a must with all this hair on my head. I’d also bring my stuffed toy, Ernie from Sesame Street, because I’ve had him since I was a child and he goes everywhere I go. He’s kind of like my good luck charm. Finally, all of my workout gear, including my supplements, wrist wraps, weight belt and headphones. I always need to be ready to lift.

Corey Brooks
Age: 25
Hometown: Dallas, TX
Current City: Dallas, TX
Occupation: Baseball coach
Three adjectives that describe you: Extraordinary, passionate, and lovable.

Favorite Activities: I love to travel. Recently, I went to San Francisco to watch my best friend, Ross Stripling, make his MLB debut for the L.A. Dodgers. I like sightseeing, hiking, getting sick bro pics, playing sports, going out and meeting people, trying out new restaurants, playing PS4, and just being active, in general.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Not seeing my family and friends for a while, but I know it will all be worth it. Also, I think it will be tough to get into a daily routine because I like to keep busy, work out, and do things that make me happy, so I will have to figure that out.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
I really like Cody [Calafiore] from Season 16. Cody is very likable, like me. He makes rational decisions when the time comes, does well at analyzing situations, and doesn't stir the pot at the wrong times.

The chicks also like him, so, in my eyes, he's a very dynamic player with a lot of potential to win. I really see my game being similar to his and maybe a little mixture of Zach [Rance] from Season 16, at times. Zach likes to make moves here and there, which I do, too, because I don't like to pass up an opportunity just because of a risk.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
I plan to use my great people skills and stay off the block by making as many alliances as possible, even individually. I don't want to have too much power to where I'm forced to get blood on my hands. I'm also not going to be a floater. I'm going to be a key player in competitions and have one of the strongest social games.

I don't want to give anyone a reason to vote me off, but if I'm ever in position to have to put someone on the block, I'll really have to dig for a logical reason and explain why for damage control. I definitely want to have one of the strongest relationships with one or two other players that would be the strongest in the game.

My life’s motto is…
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get!

What would you take into the house, and why?
My dog Rory and a samurai sword, so everyone knows who the boss is.

Paulie Calafiore
Age: 27
Hometown: Howell, NJ
Current City: Howell, NJ
Occupation: DJ
Three adjectives that describe you: Driven, passionate, and quick-witted.

Favorite Activities: I love various martial arts, exercise, and instruments. I like Krav Maga the most on the martial arts side and playing the guitar on the instrument side.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Being away from my family and my business. I’ll definitely have to put a lot of faith in the fact that I have good people working for me to make sure the business continues to grow, especially during the crucial months of the summer.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
Cody Calafiore from Season 16, for obvious reasons.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
There are multiple strategies I’ll use, none of which have any meaning prior to entering the house and seeing what pieces I’ll be playing chess with.

My life’s motto is…
A comfort zone is a wonderful place, but nothing ever grows there.

What would you take into the house, and why?
A toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash because it would be impossible to be social at all with rancid breath.

Bronte D’Acquisto
Age: 26
Hometown: San Diego, CA
Current City: Denver, CO
Occupation: Student
Three adjectives that describe you: Capable, willing, and determined.

Favorite Activities: I love to solve math problems consisting of calculus, statistics and probability. I also run, look at adoptable dogs, stretch, and walk to the mall to purchase more hair accessories.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
I think I might become stir-crazy after a good month-and-a-half. I really enjoy getting outdoors and going on hikes, so staying put inside for that long will be a challenge.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
I loved Derrick [Levasseur from Season 16]! He played such a well-rounded game. I truly want people to say, "Oh, Bronte is the girl-version of Derrick!"

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Before I make a move, I am going to think through the worst-case scenario of what might happen with my decisions, and then come up with solutions for them! Houseguests tend to focus on how everything will play out perfectly and then they don’t know how to get out of a sticky situation.

My life’s motto is…
Be willing to do what it takes.

What would you take into the house, and why?
My running shoes, so I can sleep at night, and my motion sickness medicine. I have to have that in order to run, and if I don't run, I can't sleep. Also, pictures of my sisters!

Bridgette Dunning
Age: 24
Hometown: Fresno, CA
Current City: Ventura, CA
Occupation: Traveling nurse
Three adjectives that describe you: Optimistic, energetic, and awesome.

Favorite Activities: I love to practice yoga, run, bake, read sci-fi books, go out with friends, and go to comedy shows.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
I’ll miss hearing from my friends and family. I love to call and text those closest to me on a weekly, if not daily, basis. Being cut off from them will be the most difficult part for me.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
I loved watching Johnny Mac from Big Brother 17. He was hilarious and seemed like a really fun guy to hang out with. He was smart but hid that pretty well. Very eccentric, but in a good way.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Yes. People tend to underestimate me. I look very young, I can be a bit gullible and oblivious at times, and I tend to be goofy and playful. I plan to let them think what they will and let them disregard me as a threat. What they will not expect is for me to be extremely smart. I can—and will—outwit others with my gameplay and strategy.

Once it's down to the Top 10 or so, I should definitely be on a team or alliance, which will hopefully include someone who is physically strong and someone who is easy to manipulate. I plan to keep secrets and promises, but I also plan to spread small bits of doubt and leak rumors. I want to be behind the scenes, manipulating someone else in the house to look like a bigger threat than me each week until the finals, where I will blow them all away and get into the Final 2.

At this point, I'll be able to share with those in the Jury just how much manipulation and drama I silently caused. Plus, I'm super-cute and awesome, so who wouldn't want to pick me as the winner?

My life’s motto is…
Follow your heart.

What would you take into the house, and why?
My epilator, ’cause this girl can get pretty hairy, a yoga book, so I can continue to grow and develop my strength and balance, and a pair of comfy sneakers for comfort and style.

Zakiyah Everette
Age: 24
Hometown: Charlotte, NC
Current City: Charlotte, NC
Occupation: Preschool teacher
Three adjectives that describe you: Charming, bouncy and ambitious.

Favorite Activities: Dancing, modeling, cooking, eating, any form of designing or creating.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Not catching up on my celebrity drama and not hearing from my mom.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
Jordan Lloyd [from Seasons 11 and 13.] She was hilarious, innocent, and sweet, like myself.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Go in, be real, and actually play the game.

My life’s motto is…
You only live once!

What would you take into the house, and why?
My beauty essentials, since I have to maintain my look, my charm bracelet to keep my mom close to me, and my workout gear because being fit is life!

Jozea Flores
Age: 25
Hometown: Bridgeton, NJ
Current City: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Make-up artist
Three adjectives that describe you: Funny, outgoing, creative strategist, and a visual genius

Favorite Activities: Gym, hiking, and yoga.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Nothing will really be difficult about living in the Big Brother house. I've had roommates before and I'm accustomed to living with roommates; the only thing that’ll be difficult is sharing the bathroom because I like to take a shower every morning and not wait.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
I loved Frankie Grande [from Season 16] because, to me, he had drive, nerve, talent, and was a very strong, competitive player.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
My only strategy to win the game is to use my mind to get into other people’s heads. I’ll use my love and caring for the other Houseguests to maneuver my way through this competition.

My life’s motto is…
If you can trust the ground you live on and take all the risks in the world there is to take, you should have no problem achieving your goals.

What would you take into the house, and why?
I’d take my body to win the physical challenges, my mind to be smart to win the show, and my clothes to have something to wear.

Glenn Garcia
Age: 50
Hometown: Bronx, NY
Current City: Bronx, NY
Occupation: Dog groomer/former police detective
Three adjectives that describe you: Small, big, and great.
Favorite Activities: Playing with my daughter, deep-sea fishing, and traveling.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Being away from my family, not knowing what’s going on with them or the world, and wondering if everything is OK with my loved ones.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
Will [Kirby from Season 2], Evel Dick [Donato from Season 8], Mike “Boogie” [Malin from Seasons 2 and 14], and Frankie Grande [from Season 16] because of their style of play.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Not really, because I need to see what the Houseguests are like to then make my strategy.

My life’s motto is…
Live every day like it’s your last because, one day, it will be.

What would you take into the house, and why?
My iPod, because music soothes the soul, clippers to shave my head and continue looking good, and pictures of my baby girl to keep my heart filled with joy.

Michelle Meyer
Age: 23
Hometown: Washington Township, MI
Current City: Washington Township, MI
Occupation: Nutritionist
Three adjectives that describe you: Quirky, bubbly, and curious.

Favorite Activities: Cooking, reading, going on Reddit, watching Live Feeds, researching nutrition-related topics, photography, working out, and selling stuff on eBay.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
The constant paranoia about going to bed when others are still up! I like to go to bed early. I also feel like I won't be getting enough exercise in the house. I also need to try not to talk about other people, spread rumors, and get into drama that doesn't involve me. This has gotten me in trouble in the past and it's definitely not good for my game. It's like a giant game of telephone!

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
Ian Terry [from Season 14]—because he is so freaking attractive to me—played the type of game I would play, acted like how I would act in the Big Brother house (e.g. taking everything in, doing weird stuff around the house, etc.), and beat Dan [Gheesling].

He had great strategy in taking punishments and seeming weak in the beginning. I plan on having a four to six-person alliance that I will stick to. I also plan on letting other people blow up their own games and egging them on in the shadows.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
To win as many competitions as I can and, when I win HOH, to take out someone I see as a threat. I plan on being friendly with everyone and pretending this game doesn't mean the world to me. I plan on passively manipulating people and giving them reasons to follow my suggestions.

I will also potentially be in a showmance, if I think it helps in the game. I want to take on all the punishments I can and appear weak while still winning competitions. I want a solid alliance to take to the end, but, secretly, have a better relationship with a few of the people.

My life’s motto is…
“Be underestimated." I want to be smarter than people think I am, stronger than people think I am, etc. It gives you the upper hand!

What would you take into the house, and why?
My FitBit to get in those 10,000 steps a day, my favorite stuffed animal, which is a basset hound beanie baby, and a heated blanket because I'm always freezing.

Natalie Negrotti
Age: 26
Hometown: Caracas, Venezuela, South America
Current City: Franklin Park, NJ
Occupation: Event coordinator
Three adjectives that describe you: Altruistic, athletic, and beautiful.

Favorite Activities: I love painting, cooking, baking, eating, napping, shopping, online shopping, doing makeup, doing hair, tanning, pageants, dancing, going on dates, playing with puppies, looking at puppy videos on Instagram and online, party planning, decorating, having tea time, getting dressed-up, doing my nails, and bargain shopping!

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Living with men because I have never lived with a man in my house, not even my own father!

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
Donny [Thompson from Season 16] because he was the sweetest and most genuine human.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
Yes! I'm super-girly and athletic, and will fake everyone out with my kindness. I’ll act very innocent, stay low-key for the first week, and won't win the first challenge. Then, I will start showing I'm a powerful force not to be messed with. I will have an alliance with only three women because women suck at this game and I was an NFL cheerleader for the New York Jets and know how to deal with large groups of women.

I will also add men to our alliance, since everyone will want to be in an alliance with me. I'm very kind, but I'm very tough and have street smarts because I was raised by a single mother. I've had to work my whole life and helped my mom pay her bills when I was in high school. People won't expect how much adversity I faced and how tough I am because I'm so pretty.

My life’s motto is…
Work hard and play harder!

What would you take into the house, and why?
I would take makeup because I can't live without it; self-tanner because I can't live without a tan; and my glitter hair spray to keep my hair on-point.

Tiffany Rousso
Age: 32
Hometown: West Palm Beach, FL
Current City: Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Occupation: High school teacher
Three adjectives that describe you: Passionate, smart, and sincere.

Favorite Activities: Playing basketball, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, painting, singing, and playing guitar.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house?
Staying focused and positive. It seems like a lot of past Houseguests start getting paranoid and that seems to be their downfall. Every moment in the house is a chance to turn it all around. It’s like living in a fairytale book you’re creating yourself.

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most?
I really liked Janelle [Pierzina from Season 6]. She was a competition beast and was also very smart. She played social when she had to, and pulled out the competition wins when she had to. She was also very likeable, in general.

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?
I am planning on integrating three key facets into my game: I want to build rapport with everyone, be social, and have one person I can trust until the end. I will make people feel like I am on their side. I also hope to be great at competitions when needed. It’s all about timing. You don't want to come out with guns blazing!

I’ll also be sure to align myself loosely with bigger threats, so they get taken out first, but they will be more likely to win HOH competitions.

My life’s motto is…
Live with urgency.

What would you take into the house, and why?
A secret spy kit—kidding!—music, and champagne and orange juice. Mimosas for everyone!

[LukeB]

thanks Jersey :love:

[MB.]

99 days up from 98?! Are they taking the piss? When are they just going to make it 100 so they can stop driving my OCD crazy :bored:

...next year, I'm guessing

[JerseyWins]

I'm not pre-emptively saying that Corey will be majorly dull, but his life motto is from a film from 1994
Forrest Gump is legendary tho!

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Here for Paul and Tiffany final 2 alliance :fc:

Lol at Tiffany not naming her sister as her favourite past housemate. At least Paul stood by his family.

[LukeB]

Tiffany Rousso favourite is Janelle.. won me already

[DrunkerThanMoses]

:( Such a shame it is going to be ruined by James, Franke and Flopvanne

[Jack_]

I'm just baffled as to why of all the siblings of alumni they could choose for a stunt casting, they'd pick Cody's brother?!

Literally one of the dullest houseguests ever so his brother better be an improvement

[Ross.]

poor Vanessa

[JerseyWins]

The cast overall looks ok, maybe good. Looking forward to the videos to get a better idea.

Disappointing returnees though if it's true.

[Headie]

:( Such a shame it is going to be ruined by James, Franke and Flopvanne

Now there will be two black girls for you to hate on! :elephant::dance::elephant:

[Daniel-X]

Natalie is definitely my initial favourite based off her description. She sounds a mess.

[AarynGriesfan]

I feel like they found most of these houseguests at the local home depot so it should be an entertaining season at least.

[854]

I feel like they found most of these houseguests at the local home depot so it should be an entertaining season at least.

[JerseyWins]

Latino Heat Edition :joker:

[JerseyWins]

BBUS getting their own BBCAN2 Paul with Glenn?

Idk what to expect when he's a fan of Chill Town, Evel Dick, & Frankie. I hope he's crazy.

[AarynGriesfan]

BBUS getting their own BBCAN2 Paul with Glenn?

Idk what to expect when he's a fan of Chill Town, Evel Dick, & Frankie. I hope he's crazy.

He's definitely going to be crazy that seems fairly certain.

[Jack_]

If he's anything like Legend Paul he's gonna be great <3

[LukeB]

Michelle looks like Nicole Franzel

[AarynGriesfan]

Michelle looks like Nicole Franzel

Yeah and they are from the same area too. They both are super fans who love Ian Terry so its clear that's what they were going for here.

[LukeB]

The returnees are actually fan favourites :spin:

well two won that award but Davonne was so popular and so was Nicole

[Pete.]

Perched for BB18 and the prospect of Vanessa's second wave :love:

(Anyone else think Glenn is Neil's father?)

[Pete.]

Tiffany Rousso favourite is Janelle.. won me already
Flawless legends only

[Samm]

Tiffany could be main favourite material

[LukeB]

I don't think she looks anything like Vanessa myself but I hope she doesn't reveal who she is.. but it will probably be exposed in a week or two

[Pete.]

I don't think she looks anything like Vanessa myself but I hope she doesn't reveal who she is.. but it will probably be exposed in a week or two

She better reveal it because there is no way that the returnees don't know who she is especially James and DaVonne.

Almost done watching all of these. Seems like a very interesting cast. Should be a great season.

[Headie]

U_MNKqdVJhA

[JerseyWins]

Tiffany both looks similar to Vanessa and sounds a lot like her and same with Paulie & Cody.

[JerseyWins]

Initial Impressions:

Ones that are closely ranked to each other are very interchangeable right now. And 7-9 is basically a tie for #7.

1. Bronte (lmaooo I love her)
2. Glenn (idk he seems crazy enough to potentially be this high for me)
3. Paulie (hoping he's as chill and likable of a person as Cody, he seems pretty similar)
4. Tiffany (a less emotional Vanessa would be great)
5. Victor (very likable)
6. Natalie (very likable)
-----------------------------------------
7. Corey (I'll probably either like him a lot or dislike him a lot; really depends on his level of douchiness and how he presents himself)
8. Zakiyah (too much laughing without being funny but seemed alright at worst)
9. Jozea (pretty generic sounding and hard to tell what he'll be like)
-----------------------------------------
10. Paul (ehh for sure some potential there but I didn't like what I saw so far)
11. Bridgette (I wouldn't write her off as a definite dislike either cause she has certain characteristics I might end up liking but annoying so far)
12. Michelle (it's a small clip but idk she actually seems like a more annoying version of Nicole)

Did BB start in the States a year before it started in the UK?

[Jack_]

Did BB start in the States a year before it started in the UK?

No, 13 days before

[Walter White]

No, 13 days before

I don't mean this year's. I mean BB. Why do they have BB18 when the UK has BB17?

[Braden]

I don't mean this year's. I mean BB. Why do they have BB18 when the UK has BB17?

I think they had two in one year at some point (BB8 & BB9?), as they had to fill in the TV schedule due to the writers strike.

[Jack_]

I don't mean this year's. I mean BB. Why do they have BB18 when the UK has BB17?

That's the question I was answering :conf: BBUS began on July 5th 2000, BBUK began on July 18th

Braden answered the other point correctly

[Wizard.]

Is this a mock cast? LOL

There's a lot of "sweet" girls this year (Bronte, Bridgette, Natalie) but the guys cast videos most I turned off after 1 minute cause they kind of bored me (especially Victor). I did laugh when Glenn thought he could flirt with girls to help him, little does he know :D
I would love a girl to win this season, not just because there hasn't been a female win since Rachel, but also because I feel like the girls are a lot stronger this season and guys look like they will self implode and blow up games which could be messy and entertaining.

My picks to win (not including the returning players) would be Tiffany & Cody, I would love these final 2, but I feel Tiffany will have an uphill battle. I am actually nearly having visions of Paulie winning but I'm trying to stop myself.

[Raph]

Paul Calafiore is the dude

[LukeB]

Am i the only one who is disappointed by how young everyone is :/ like 10/12 are in their 20s. we need more 30s/40s etc.

[Macie Lightfoot]

I would love a girl to win this season, not just because there hasn't been a female win since Rachel, but also because I feel like the girls are a lot stronger this season and guys look like they will self implode and blow up games which could be messy and entertaining.

a girl hasn't won without significant assistance from production since MAGGIE. It's literally been more than a decade.

[Jack_]

idk how legit this source is but a screenshot of this article has been floating around Tumblr

https://yesclash.com/2016/06/14/big-brother-18-cast-revealed-several-returnees-cut/

The returnees currently set to make their return when the season premiere airs are Frank Eudy (BB14), Nicole Franzel (BB16), James Huling (BB17), and Da’Vonne Rogers (BB17). Returning players that had been considered and cut included: Kaysar Ridha (BB6, BB7), Daniele Donato (BB8, BB13), Ian Terry (BB14), Howard Overby (BB15), Audrey Middleton (BB17), and Shelli Poole (BB17).

In addition to that, Grodner and series casting director Robyn Kass had been courting the likes of Big Brother 2 winner Will Kirby’s younger brother Ian Kirby and Season 17 fan favorite Johnny Mac’s 20 year old sibling Jordan McGuire. Kirby declined and McGuire was passed over in favor of Paulie Calafiore.

If this is true and they picked Nicole over Audrey and James/Frank over Kaysar then :umm2:

Disappointed a Kirby declined too

[Walter White]

I think they had two in one year at some point (BB8 & BB9?), as they had to fill in the TV schedule due to the writers strike.

Thanks, Debbie.

That's the question I was answering :conf: BBUS began on July 5th 2000, BBUK began on July 18th

Braden answered the other point correctly

I'm as confused as **** right now. What do you mean that's the question you were answering? I was confused as to why the US is having BB18 while the UK is having BB17. How would a 13 day gap explain that when these shows are normally a year apart? So your answer doesn't make any sense. So I can't see why you're confused.

And what other point did Braden answer? I asked only one question.

[Macie Lightfoot]

What would Kaysar even contribute? He's a ****ing snooze and a flop

[Jack_]

I'm as confused as **** right now. What do you mean that's the question you were answering? I was confused as to why the US is having BB18 while the UK is having BB17. How would a 13 day gap explain that when these shows are normally a year apart? So your answer doesn't make any sense. So I can't see why you're confused.

And what other point did Braden answer? I asked only one question.

You asked if Big Brother in the US started a year before Big Brother in the UK:

Did BB start in the States a year before it started in the UK?

I told you 'no, 13 days before'. Because BBUS began 13 days before BBUK in 2000. Which is the question you asked.

You then responded by telling me 'I don't mean this year's'...when I wasn't even talking about this years? I was talking about when Big Brother US began in relation to Big Brother UK, which is the question you asked in the first place.

Braden answered the other point about why this season is about to be BB18 when BBUK's only up to BB17. This was the second question you did indeed ask:

I don't mean this year's. I mean BB. Why do they have BB18 when the UK has BB17?

You're the person that's confusing this. It's quite straightforward and you think you'd realise it, considering it was your questions...

[Jack_]

What would Kaysar even contribute? He's a ****ing snooze and a flop

please remind me how James and Nicole are any different

You only dislike Kaysar cause he's a Sov let's be honest

[Walter White]

Right, OK, I just assumed my second question was implied in the first. Anyway...

I see no big deal in the returnees to be honest, it's only 4 people and it isn't a all stars.. frank is the only problem because Alison loves him but it doesn't really matter. New season, new way to judge the returnees because they could be better this season etc. Davonne was a 2nd boot so we could see more of her, Nicole was not in that boys alliance but still is popular, James wasn't that bad and being the first asian/POC to win AFP and there's frank who is only the ew choice because of the riggage. No big deal like. not the end of the world.

Right, OK, I just assumed my second question was implied in the first. Anyway...

Perhaps so, but why tell me I'm talking about 'this year's' season when I was answering your original question?

But yes, anyway...

Because, as I said, I thought the second question was implied in the first. So when you told me of the 13 day gap, I assumed you'd misunderstood and had thought I was asking when this year's BB started.

Because the majority of them were ****ing dull and dispensable, and they better have a damn good themed reason as to why they've picked these four because if they think it'll be their way of sustaining themselves against the Olympics they must be deluded

There's plenty of great vets they could choose for a 'second chances' type twist or even season which a lot of people wanted that don't involve these irrelevancies. That's people's problems, when they want returnees they want the right ones

There's no reason why any avid BBUS watcher would consciously think about the fact they're a season ahead of BBUK because we're used to it so it's not exactly the first thing that's going to come to mind when you specifically ask when BBUS premiered in relation to BBUK

No idea why you'd think I was talking about this year's season though. You made it quite clear you were asking if BBUS started a year before BBUK, so I'm not going to think you're talking about 2016 :joker:

The only misunderstanding is with you thinking the '13 days' answer you were looking for was regarding this year's season

irrelevant but the returnees they have picked are still popular and it's most likely 2nd chances but meh who cares.. new season. They obvious have a reason why.it is what it is.

I don't understand your reasoning because it doesn't seem to go beyond 'well that's that so just accept it', I mean taken to it's logical conclusion that means when BotB is inevitably brought back next week we'll just have to go 'it is what it is' instead of moaning about it because they obviously have a reason why, or when there's rigging that helps someone no one cares about we'll just go 'oh well' because they obviously have a reason why?

No, the vets bar Day suck. And there's plenty of better ones they could've chosen who wouldn't be All Stars calibre but would be more enjoyable for a second chance themed twist. I don't see why we should just have to accept the people they've chosen given the options that were available :shrug:

Grodner will continue to be called out for her shoddy production by me I'm afraid

[LukeB]

The whole thing seems like unfinished business so i'm quite excited for the returnees who ever it is. (Not frank riggage)

[Macie Lightfoot]

please remind me how James and Nicole are any different

You only dislike Kaysar cause he's a Sov let's be honest

Each of them actually has a defined personality lol I don't even dislike Kaysar, but I can't think of any way to praise him for his time in the house. He gets a bunch of hype because... he was in The Good Alliance? He is A Good Muslim that we're supposed to like in a post-9/11 world? His entire BB6 existence was, like, Julie narrating "Kaysar is praying five times a day... but will the other HGs notice???" as a piano sobbed.

[LukeB]

at least they didn't choose frankie from bb16 god that would be awful. So having a nicole over scum is a blessing (or anyone from that season)

Rather johnny mac over james but james will do

Davonne needs her time to shine.

[Walter White]

I don't think the same way as you do then (can't understand that way of thinking) but anyway...

No idea why you'd think I was talking about this year's season though. You made it quite clear you were asking if BBUS started a year before BBUK, so I'm not going to think you're talking about 2016 :joker:I just assumed you'd totally misread the question, that you'd only glanced at it. When you said 13 days, I couldn't figure out how a 13 day gap would explain BB18 in the US at the same time as BB17 in the UK. So I assumed you'd totally missed the word year in my question.

The only misunderstanding is with you thinking the '13 days' answer you were looking for was regarding this year's seasonWell that wasn't the answer I was looking for but yeah, that was the answer. To the first question anyway. But, as I've said, twice, I thought the second question was implied in the first. But anyway...

[JerseyWins]

Wow... Kaysar, Dani Donato, Howard/Ian, & Shelli would've been waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the ones rumored to be going in.

Btw how close to confirmed is Da'Vonne/James/Frank/Nicole as returnees?

[Raph]

I think this is my favourite BBUSA cast in a while and so much more diverse than the past two years!

3 Latinos, 1 asian (or is Brigit half asian too?), 2 black females (!!!!)

I'm a fan and a lot of intelligent seeming people too and strong females.

But Paul Calafiore and TIffany Rousso have my full support.

...I'm obsessed already.

[Raph]

Yeah this cast is sooo good. It's about bloody time!

[Raph]

BBUK move over, BBUSA is coming :D

[Firewire]

Agree, great cast. I read it's 7/12 POC? That's amazing. Will be 9/16 if the rumoured returnees list is true.

[Ross.]

[Raph]

Yeah it's unbelievable! I'm just so pleased, this is the cast i've been waiting for BBUSA to have.

Glenn, Natalie, Jozea and Victor are all of hispanic descent.
Paul A and Bridgitte are of asian descent.
Zakiyah is african-american.

So yes 7/12 and 9/16 including James and Da'Vonne! Two black women, three asians, four latinos -- BB18 USA is going to be terrific, I feel it!

[LukeB]

they normally have 1 blonde a year or something so i guess nicole will be that

[Raph]

BB17 had like 5 blonde girls it was soooo bad. So here for this cast, I can be happy with one blonde superfan girl and no more blonde females! :D FINALLY. BEST CAST.

[Ross.]

BB17 was amazing though

[Raph]

BB17 was amazing though

I didn't enjoy it :laugh: I actually preferred BB16 :p

And i didn't stan any of them much :hehe: it was such a terrible cast last year

[LukeB]

I didn't enjoy it :laugh: I actually preferred BB16 :p

Same, i didnt enjoy bb17 much

[Calderyon]

BB17 was much better than BB16. Or BB15. Best one in recent years, i´d say.

[Macie Lightfoot]

yeah if you don't think BB17 was the best season since at least 13 (if not 11), let alone you liked ****ing BB16 better, I really don't know what planet you lived on the past two summers.

[Firewire]

BB16 was worse than BB15 sorry

[Macie Lightfoot]

the only season that might be worse than 16 is 14

[Calderyon]

I liked BB14. Definitely BB14 > BB16.

[LemonJam]

BB17 might be a top 5 season for me :o

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Well you guys have to wait a few more days to see what TIBB has ranked the seasons. All I was say 17 is doing well

[LukeB]

I liked BB14. Definitely BB14 > BB16.

Bb14 gave us a iconic moment :lovedup:

[Ross.]

And i didn't stan any of them much :hehe: it was such a terrible cast last year

Bye the cast was amazing and far superior to BB16

~first impressions~

Natalie - Super cute and pretty funny! Can't imagine her being bad right now.
Bronte - Messy dork math obsessed Goddess :love: Think she'll be an easy target and hopefully Audrey-type early season messiness.
Tiffany - MATHLETES ALLIANCE WITH BRONTE PLEASE. I've got the feeling she's a lot more chill than Vanessa which is a shame.
Zakiyah - Ehhh she's okay. Think there are much bigger characters and we won't end up seeing much of her.
Bridgette - She's so cute and normal and I hope she's secretly a massive asshole.
Michelle - Bronte is the better dorky girl, let be real.
Jozea - DAMN HE'S FINE AS **** but kinda meh.
Glenn - Older houseguests rarely disappoint so I'm pumped to see him.
Paul - Early target probably. Also probably hot without the beard.
Victor - Jenn Citys brother? Feel like theres nothing too interesting there.
Corey - who?
Paulie - Waiting for the live feed dick slip then he can go.

[Calderyon]

I know. Dan´s BB Funeral. :flutter:

Has anyone heard the rumour that Michelle is Nicole's cousin? "The others" teas?

[LukeB]

King.

This cast is probably my favourite of the year on a pre-season judgement.

[Raph]

Agreed. Haven't been this excited for a BBUSA season ever!! All the twitter comments seem to be so positive too. For years we've asked for diversity, and it's FINALLY here so happy

BB16 was worse than BB15 sorry
Easily

[JerseyWins]

Bb17 > bb16 >>> bb15

[LukeB]

Bb17 > bb16 >>> bb15

I think BB15 is the worse season for me because it was full of bigots and it really wasn't fun, nearly everyone was horrible.

[Wizard.]

Cringe at Julie's turn and smile in that commercial

[Braden]

Thanks for posting that, Pete!

You lot will know, is the BBViewer from Canada coming back for BB18? Will try and invest some time in this series but no doubt I'll forget by week 3.
