our guilty pleasure is about to start up next week on the 22nd. Cast revealed today. cant wait for another year of wondering why I love this show so much.

Normally my favorite time of year but last year frustrated me so much I may just do show only this year. I usually read recaps and sometimes even buy the feeds, but if I don't know what's really happening I might be able to enjoy the highly edited show on its on merits.

yeah...I would just suggest watching it with the no spoiler crowd. It definitely has its perks.

That said, last season was one of the worst ever.

hoping for a rebound.

not to derail but can you explain "highly edited"?. what is so good that is edited out, that you get on the feeds?

Well last year,not much. But on the feeds you see all the "strategery" that, mainly due to time, you don't get to fully see in the 40 minute edit. Of course there is a lot of boring conversation and cameras on people cleaning the kitchen, too.

Removed so house guest can be reveaved during the show for the folks wanting no spoilers

Are identities of house guests are fair game pre-show?

Can we discuss the number of house guests revealed?

guys,

I think the no spoilers should be for game play only.

Lets discuss the cast.

Anyone object to that?

I think usually the no spoilers thread does reveal house guest info and anything obvious that uncovers, but no insider friend-of-production info that slips out etc., but I'll await others input before discussing the cast.

I dont know why anyone would object to pics of the cast and short bio's...if they dont like it they can hop off of the thread when they see the first one. I am going to post.

Let's meet the Houseguests...

My favorite part of cast reveal is being able to easily spot the crazy by their eyes

Vanessa sister and Codys brother are really easy to spot.

reading the hot girl Natalie from Venezuelas hobbies list...

That's only 12, right? God, please don't let them throw some veterans in the mix. Just leave it alone, grodner!

(Crap lie this is why I gave up the feeds years ago and only watch the edited tv airing)

Reminder of tonight's premiere

All picture links are broken.

ready for tonight.

so....no one watched?

Nope. Last season did too much damage. Will casually follow when I have time, but no real interest.

Our house watched. We like Natalie and Michelle and most of the others. Feel sorry for Glenn. Hate Da'Vonne and her entire team, and hate the idea that they're going to be around for awhile to provide "good TV".

Yea - will be watching. The veterans schtick is tiresome - also how you going to bring back siblings of veterans from last season AND veterans from last season?

• Paul, Bronte?, Michelle easily most annoying so far out the gate
• Thought Dayvonne would be smarter a second time around - doesnt look like it. "Can take them outta the hood, but..." moniker comes to mind
• Poor Glenn - I can understand BB's model of moving towards an oversexed cast, but it waters down the product. Give me a bunch of 30 somethings rather than a frat house
• In that same breath - Natalie has a fun, fake rack

agree with all of that. Natalie was not nearly as annoying as i figured she would be.

Absolutely.

Underwhelming so far but still has potential. I dont know how long they will be able to keep the team thing up though. Maybe they have to go to three teams in a couple episodes or something.
