Nah, I'm sure the producers will keep her around for a week or two for drama. Then they'll boot her because she's not attractive enough for viewers long term.

You do realize that the producers appoint the evicted houseguest each week, right?

It's mostly just wishful thinking on my part for Renny to go.

Renny certainly seems like a real piece of work.

On the surface...and who really knows b/c the feeds don't come up until BBAD tonight...they seem like relatively safe nominations for Jerry. The age difference means he's got a huge target on his back as an "easy" nomination.

Am I the only one who thinks Angie looks like the actress Moon Bloodgood?

The women may be older, but there is plenty of boobage in the house (male and female). Heh.

Jerry is delusional if he thinks he's making it to the end.

Ollie is going to be tested in his faith.

Dan seems to be a convenient Catholic (using confession to be absolved of premeditated sins). Don't much like the guy.

Brian thinks too highly of his game skills so early on.

Memphis has a big target on his back from the get-go with the car, and we'll have to see if he can forge alliances or not, but he seems smarmy.

Jessie's personality (whiney) got him on the block. Not a smart player. Definitely a dope for sitting out of the first challenge.

Renny is just a PITA. Can't stand her.

April is good eye candy, nice of her to give Jerry a thrill (and a pre-emptive nomination-avoidance boob grope).

Keesha is decent eye candy, though a little harsh looking when she's not smiling.

Angie is cute (I had a "There's Something About Mary" flashback - Warren when they were showing us her home life).

Libra is someone I have no real read on at the moment. She might play the motherly card.

Stephen is laying low, no telling if his gayness will impact relationships inside the house, but it was funny that his shirt (when squished together at the nomination looked to read "pure gay").

Michelle might be too opinionated if her east coast outspokenness gets her in trouble, but for now I have no idea if she's got game.

Well I thought it was an okay start. I don't know everyones names to well yet. But hopefully Renny won't last the vote this week if not next week. Hopefully the first alliance will crumble as it always does. Stephen actually seems like a cool gay guy, as opposed to the fruits of the past two season(Joe, Dustin, Joshua). Jerry will probably be the fan favorite this season, so the producers will probably find a way to rig the game to keep him in the house.

Not really an After Dark spoiler, but she actually sounds like her (nasily & whiny) and she sits in the kitchen chair (one leg up) exactly the same as Daniele.

I loathed Renny the second I heard her voice. And, Jessie, conceited much? You shouldn't be when you look like the shrunken head man in Bettlejuice!

Can they just evict them both...

No, you're not. That's exactly what I was thinking!

Yeah, I wonder how many times we are going to hear him say the word "physique" while he in the house. Come on, not everything has to do with your muscles! Some things might have to do with you acting like a baby ...

And I also agree with you on the Bettlejuice comment. He's a good looking guy, but he's TOO buffed up. It just looks ... wrong.

I'm guessing the producers cast him to be the jerk of the house, a la Evel Dick. No one can really do it as well as ED, but they have to have someone to stir things up, and Dan fills the bill pretty well (misogynist, hypocrite, etc.).

Yep, and not to spoil anything, but I watched the first 30 minutes of After Dark last night and she talks and acts like her too (looking in the mirror constantly, etc).

Also, what is with Mrs. Roper?

So far, I'm liking Dan and Brian, and not liking Danielle 2.0 or Mrs. Roper. Still need to see more of the others to decide.

It's early though. I'll have to watch the rest of After Dark later.

I find it weird that I was able to name all 13 houseguests after watching an hour of BB last night. Actually, that's kinda sad.

Last night I turned on BB After dark BEFORE I watched the debut episode, which was kind of funny. I had no idea who those people were.

"BIG BROTHER" PREMIERES WITH A TIME PERIOD WIN IN VIEWERS AND KEY DEMOGRAPHICS

"Big Brother" Improves on Last Summer's Sunday Debut

"Big Brother" Delivers Its Highest Adult 25-54 Rating Ever for a Sunday Premiere

The premiere of BIG BROTHER 10 SUNDAY won its time period in viewers and key demographics with gains over last summer's Sunday debut, according to Nielsen live plus same day ratings for July 13.

BIG BROTHER 10 SUNDAY (P) premiered with a 4.2/08 in households, 6.29m viewers, 2.7/08 in adults 25-54 and 2.1/07 in adults 18-49. CBS placed first from 8:00-9:00 PM in households, viewers, adults 25-54 and adults 18-49. BIG BROTHER was the night's Number One program in adults 25-54, delivering its highest rating ever for a Sunday debut in that demographic.

Compared to last year's BIG BROTHER SUNDAY premiere, CBS was up +11% in households (from 3.8/07), +8% in adults 25-54 (from 2.5/07), even in adults 18-49 and added +440,000 viewers (from 5.85m, +8%).

Updated Sunday ratings will be available on Tuesday.
Hopefully this trend will continue.

And in some related news, Big Brother Australia was cancelled after 8 seasons.

Well, it's a particular empty summer TV season right now, so it doesn't really shock me that Big Brother turned out to be the ratings winner for the night.

Keesha gives me the hot. Wears way to much make up though.

Brian is turning out to be a real douche, I don't understand why anyone thinks they can pull the strings this early thinking they will win the game. Did they not see last year how Kale formed the Ms. Robinson Alliance, and it was the first one to fall. The only thing I hate is Ollie trying to wipes his hands clean of his involvement in his alliance of three, when he was just as guilty for being a part of it. Hopefully the house won't be stupid and keep Brian around.

Yeah, as they showed Brian going around talking to everyone early in the episode I thought, "He's overplaying his hand, and it's way to early for that." I'm glad the rest of the house caught on. Ollie totally threw his alliance under the bus to keep himself on the girls' good side. And the funny thing is that he was the one that accidently alerted them to the alliance in the first place by bragging to the girls--telling them they had nothing to worry about from the veto.
Not much eye candy among the women. Keesha's ok, but April does nothing for me--she looks kind of weird to me. I do think Angie's pretty cute, though.

First time I've ever seen someone bragging they control the house BEFORE the first vote. Unless he radically changes and avoids being voted out, Brian will officially be my nominee for the Dumbest BB Player ever!

I love how Libra is basically the most powerful player right now, and nobody else seems to realize it.
