She did mention that the reason they broke up is because she wouldn't put out, although this was when she was 15.

I can see why her ex was trying to nail her, but when she was 15? She has got to be a few years younger than him, so wouldn't that have been statutory rape?

I think they were both in high school, one of those senior/freshman things.

Yeah, the CBS site lists his age as 21. I thought that he was older since he is a former Ranger...

Well so far the elite eight seems to be hanging together.

One of the new chicks (the guy who sat out the HOH competition's ex) reminds me of Maya Rudolph...

It's not on yet, is he still wearing the hat?

He wore that hat, and I think at least two others, but I only remember one of them...which had a rather large brim, and was made of some fabric...looked like it should have been one of those tall raver "cat in the hat" looking hats...

I guess the guy wants to wear hats cause he's balding pretty bad, and shaves his head to hide it.

I can't believe the "secretly" bald guy said, "Are we done con-ver-sating?"

This is terribly disappointing. Last BB was terrrific right from the get go. This premise is horrible and the cast is terrible.

How did these people get picked? No one to look at and almost all of them are dumb AND annoying all the time.

I can't see us watching this all summer like we did last year.

Allison, please shut up!

Does anyone really think Erika is hot? We totally don't think she is and the 19 year old is too young.

And for the women, no Hardys or Wills either.

This sucks.

The instant conflict that the X-factor brings does bring things to a boil ultra fast (vs. just booting someone totally on first impressions).

You really do have to wonder how the producers were able to round up these ex's (without tipping the other party of what was going on).

How long with Jack (FBI dude) last, that'll be the question.

Can't stand Allison.

Jun thinks a little too much of herself.

Scott and those hats...ugh.

Dana's a bit too butch.

Erika's the "Lisa" type, but with bigger boobs and a meaner streak.

Wonder why Robert cheated on her (Erika). He's a butthole, it would seem.

Jee is sort of clueless.

Nathan the "aw shucks" guy.

Justin might be a shrewd Roddy type of player, but better looking with a softer demeanor.

David is a bit bland to me.

Amanda's buttons seem easily pushed by Scott.

Michelle seems to be the truly naive little school girl, and yes, she could be Carmen Rasmussen's sister/twin.

my though exactly. it's clay aiken sr. after his american idols fame is over.

jun and allisohn talk too much. dramma queens.

scott and nathan need to stop wearing the ski hat that they stole from the guy in american beauty.

jee need to stop talking about the americanized Jun and get over her and concetrate more on the game.

is erika lisa's {from last year BB} twin with bigger rack?

They always have to have a 'wigger'........

She certainly has eerie similarites to Lisa, but I don't think she's half as attractive. Well, maybe half.

holy **** this is awesome. I thought the "X-Factor" was gonna gay things up, but man, I dig it, but I seriously hope they don't stick with the "Elite Eight" ********.

Jee and Robert. DO IT UP MEN.

And Jun needs to shut the **** up already.

It was entertaining.

How stupid are Robert and Jee for laying down the Bed Pass cards. I mean seriously, in that situation you'd have to know you already have a strike against you, why bring more upon yourself? With Robert, I think it was just pure arrogance. With Jee, I think it was just pure stupidity.

"I told her it was nothing personal." Duhhh. As if that will make everything hunky dorey. :rolleyes:

Being a drama queen isn't all that great in terms of strategy since it will paint a big target on your forehead. Amy (last year) only came back due to the revolving door policy/twist. Otherwise, she was toast.

The Ex-5 have their work cut out for them as the "Elite Eight" will try to keep HoH for the reminder of the next few weeks before "playing the real game". Big Brother probably didn't want this to come to fruition (i.e. they need one of the Ex's to win HoH in the next few weeks to get things to become more interesting in terms of sheer numbers on either "team".

You had to like the tweak in having Scott (odd man out) pick who HoH would be between Nathan and Allison (thus, getting people to show their cards/alliances early on in the game). Glad to see Allison get chummed anyway. :)

I'm loving the new season so far. Great idea with the ex's, and it hasn't disapointed yet. Although I don't know how much I can take of Jun and Allison. Jun is wayyyyy too high on herself, and Allison is incredibly immature. It killed me when she was talking about how young and immature Michelle is.

We should start a new thread for predictions......

Oh, and is it possible for a human beings eyeballs to pop out? It looks like Dana's eyes are almost completely out of the sockets when she looks at the camera.

Jun is terribly annoying. She needs to go - and fast.

Allison wouldn't be that bad if she would just shut the hell up half the time and not worry about what her boyfriend thinks. Justin seems like one of the better people in the house.

Scott is a dork. Plain and simple - the man is a tool. He thinks he's funny and smooth. No he isn't. His ex is dull, too.

Michelle, the Ranger's ex, is a cutie.

Erica's ex, Robert, is a tool, too. The guy could pass for a vampire, but if you covered him in hair, he would make a better werewolf, imo.

The retired fed doesn't seem to bad. I think he has a good chance if he flies under the radar.

I think he looks like Willem Dafoe's even creepier, uglier brother.

Here's the nominations:

I was watching a little of the live feed yesterday and Erika did a dead on impersonation of Lisa. She sounded exactly like her. It was kind of creepy hearing that nasally voice again. :)

Erika's got a smokin' bod, but her face isn't "cute" like Lisa's was. Erika's got harsher lines to her facial structure. But I'd do a double-take if Erika were ever to walk down the street in my presence. :)

When I first heard Dana I thought she sounded like Ralph Macchio from Karate Kid. Then I learned she is a karate school manager. Ha.

I thought this was going to suck, but after watching the two episodes last night on tape, I think this might work out pretty good! :D

My first thoughts on some of the contestants:

Jun: Shut up. You're a bitch. Just shut up.
Alison: Dear God, this woman has some issues. I'm surprised she passed the mental health test to get in. Five bucks says she'll end up screwing her ex, though.
Jee: He'll be gone the first or second week.
Nathan: He's already on my good side because he said the news he'll miss most in the house is The O'Reilly Factor.
The FBI guy: Forget his name at the moment, but I like him. He's smart and can probably manipulate people the best. But, that is what'll get him evicted.
