Mark Jansen is a friend of my sister!

Totally here for Natalie 2.0 ❤

lol I don't even feel one way or the other yet about the Natalie lookalike but poor girl, half of the psychotic BB fanbase isn't even going to give her a chance

Yeah she will be hated for no reason at all but she will also have a lot of fans as well so meh.

Overall this cast seems to have a lot of potential hopefully Grodner doesn't ruin it like she always seems to do.

From the bios I actually think we have a good range here! (I think I said the same last year lol but I feel hopeful :bigsmile:) of course theres cookie cutter filler in there but I can't complain about a Vegas timeshare rep, a cosplayer and somebody whose actual name is CHRISTMAS.

Mess at Raven's favourite player : "OMG it would have to be Frankie Grande! I love how he played the game. Even after they found out his sister was famous he played it off so well! If I had been on his season I swear we would have been two peas in a pod! I loved how much fun he was and how he always talked to the cameras. "
:idc:

Christmas' official job title being "fitness superstar" :love:

Getting around to the bios. First thoughts...

Oh wow these are longer than I thought/remembered but I'll go through it anyway.

Jillian - Very, and I mean very, Basic Betty but seems sweet-and-all so meh I kinda like her but it's a whatever kind of start. #YOLO

Dominique - Also sweet, funny enough, I like her (more) but a bit boring so I don't have much to say either.

Christmas - Probably my fav so far... most personality for sure out of the 3. :joker: (also I might be crazy but I see some winner potential?)

Ramses - Superfan King :love: (someone needs to fill in for Raph).. but seriously I like him a lot :joker: also the superfan status mixed in with the happiness and positivity actually reminds me of Raph. :clap1:

Jason - Rodeo clown... wow. :joker: They stepped outside the box on this one... seriously this is a wild one (nutty if we're going by his 'Whistlenut' name) but I think I like him.

Matthew - I see some Matt Hoffman in him (but much more likable - and I thought Matt was alright anyway but I think I'll like this Matt more)... seems like he'll either be the person who plays too hard or he'll have some serious winner potential, leaning towards the latter. Pretty relatable being a big sports fan, likes fantasy football, etc... ALSO lmao at him saying he gets "Brett Favre lookalike" a lot because I thought he looked kinda like Brett Favre when I first saw him! :joker:

Raven - Hmmm I feel like she can be Bronte-ish or maybe Shelby-ish but ehhhh idk I found her slightly annoying in this. I'm going to say least favorite out of these but with a lot of potential for me to be wrong. She's kinda growing on me already by the end of this video lol.

Side note: Lol @ Jeff reminding just about everyone that having a showmance worked out last season. BBUS wanting a lover's paradise?

Elena - She looks very familiar to me but can't put my finger on it. She's alright, idk what to really think of her but yeah another that I think I like... maybe even a lot now that I've watched more of the video. "I'm a lot... as my mom says" :joker:

Mark - Very nice and likable... I definitely buy it that he's a big teddy bear. (maybe a bit on the boring side though)

Kevin - Pretty funny guy.. I like him. :joker: I feel like I'll either love or hate him though, doubt there will be an in between, just the hit or miss type.

Alex - Love her :joker: Looool @ her not recognizing Jeff and saying "in season 16 those 2 people got married" (the fact that she basically wants to be Nicole tho... RIP to any fandom on this forum if she follows through with that :joker:)

Megan - Wow I was thinking "they really cast a lot of older people this season" then I saw she's 28?! :omgno: (in hindsight the gray hair is just deceptive though)... anyway nice positive attitude but not crazy about her out of my options & she needs to stop laughing soooo much with that annoying laugh! At least have a Johnny Mac or Shelby-esque weird laugh, what are you doing gurl?!?!

Josh - Lmaooooo I love this guy :clap1: :clap1: :clap1: Jozea & Devin put together on steroids :joker: with a lot of douchey bro mannerisms and what not I bet... the energy is insane, I'm excited for this :joker:

Also I like how most of the people said they'd rather lose & be loved and Josh just says "HATED, DISGUSTED, DESPISED" before Jeff can even finish the question :laugh3: ..... and oh he will be I'm pretty damn certain lol unless he manages to become like a Paul fan favorite (but they're not the same at all)

Cameron - They did pretty good casting someone different to play the Ian/Steve nerdy guy role. Not sure if I like him or not but interesting character and he's probably one of the people I'm most curious about to see in the house.

Cody - Looks a bit like a younger version of Matthew to me (even though apparently he's only one year younger). Nice / easy going, likable, definitely "vanilla" though but I'm sure I'll like him unless he bores me too much. :joker: I like how he said "some dads go in saying they're gonna teach their kids integrity but how are they gonna teach their kids integrity in a game where there's no integrity" :joker: Shot at Devin? (even better that he also has a daughter)... he actually slowly continued to get better as the video went on :clap1:

Jessica - Love her love her love her :love: /thirst But seriously, super nice and likable one of my favorites.


I feel like it's pretty tough to dislike many of these people based on these type of interviews but yeah with this as the only thing we have to go on, I'm liking this cast a lot from what I know. This cast actually has an interesting vibe to it. I feel like it's gonna be a lot different than the past few seasons, whether that's for the better or worse idk yet.

Plus lots of diversity, an overall older group... I think production hit a lot of things people ask for this time around. :clap1:

1) This post is such a mess
2) I need to stop using the joker smiley so much

I watched the interviews with Jeff, and I must say I like all of them. Good casting this year, I feel them. A few things though:
Christmas is life. But she'll be quickly hated if she doesn't set an alliance immediately. She is a major threat by not only her background but her aura. She needs to watch out.
Alex is cute but she needs the take the glasses off.
Jessica is set up to be in a showmance and go against Christmas at some point.
The guys are cool too. I don't see any jerk or stupid ones in there.

My first thoughts based solely on bio/pics as I haven't watched the videos. However I have no doubt my mind will change once the show starts.

Like:
Christmas
Jessica
Mark
Megan -just hope shes not as paranoid as Vanessa
Cody
Alex - she may remind me of Meg
Kevin - has potential. Like that hes not the geeky/overweight older guy they always choose



Meh:
Matthew
Elena
Cameron
Jose - although no doubt he will be entertaining in a douchebag kinda way
Jillian
Raven


On the Fence:
Dominique
Jason
Ramses

Does anyone else think that Elena looks like Aaryn?

She's Texan too :omgno:

But Elena is actually hot unlike KKK scum

I would love an ethnic divide like they did in Survivor: whites, blacks, asians and latinos. Now that's a big twist. But I doubt it will ever happen after what happened in the past.

Or East Coast vs West Coast can work too.

Yes, let's reenact the twist that almost got Survivor cancelled!

Why do welovebigbrother.com not do interviews with the houseguests anymore? I used to love the awkwardness of everyone having to give a shout-out at the end of the interview, 'Hello, welovebigbrother.com fans."

Idk if this is who I was thinking Elena reminds me of originally but she reminds me a bit of Andrea from Survivor IMO.

His interview is the first I've watched so far, and he seems like an absolute sweetheart.

I can't wait to say 'Christmas is cancelled' at one point during the summer.

^ If she ends up in a showmance and they hit it off, you could end up saying something else, like:

Christmas is...

I'm watching the interviews that Ika did for ET Canada; and like half the houseguests are fans of BB Canada.

Watching those ET Canada interviews now and actually Cody seems pretty annoying. Too serious and too boring.
