Official BigBrother site is UP!
That’s right – check it out! There’s not a whole bunch there yet, but there are the official cast pictures available here.
Diane Henry and Sarah Wulfeck from CBS2 interviews the Houseguests:
Keesha, 29 – the Hooters girl from Burbank, California, and omg, she DOES remind me of Daniele! She even has some of the same facial expressions. I swear, if she had burst out with an “it’s so fruuuuuuusssstraaaaaaaatinggggg” she’d have been a deadwringer! She has watched a couple seasons before, but is a ‘recent’ fan. She once slept with her girlfriend’s boyfriend, and swears she learned her lesson and she doesn’t think she has a secret weapon, and knows different rules apply to the game – she’s going to be sneaky, she’s not afraid to lie.
More coming soon!
Big Brother Craze here at Reality Daze!
Alright – here’s the deal. I blog for 451Press about Big Brother, and the site is currently down and has been for a while now and it’s completely out of my control.
So! While it’s down, in order to attempt to get my followers (PLEASE COME BACK GUYS! I LOVE YOU! LOVE ME? wait – that’s too needy. Ok, WELCOME BACK YA’LL!) something to see, think about, watch, and love as much as I do (as everyone knows Big Brother is my First Reality Love till Death Do Us Part) I’m going to post here for the duration. if BBC doesn’t ever come back – then we’ll hang here. If BBC comes back and is stable, I’ll direct you all over there.
Either way – OMG YOU GUYS! HOUSEGUESTS!
(I’ve been DYING to get my snark on!)
Earlier this afternoon, the first promos with ACTUAL HOUSEGUESTS were seen on CBS, and our buddies over at >Reality BBQ had them up in 1.2 seconds, which is unsurprising as these promos CONFIRMED their cast list they leaked last week! Way to go CornerOfficeX, Spammy and the crew! Below are the names of the houseguests – and I’ll fill in the details as we get them from the commercials!
Also – tomorrow morning (Tuesday) all the houseguests will be confirmed and introduced on The Early Show with Julie Chen, and ET will have a tour of the house on Wednesday, and CBS will have theirs on The Early Show on Friday. Time to get our BB on, folks!
Commercial One:
Brian – “The Leading Man” Chose Air Force instead of Army because he wanted to live in hotels instead of tents
April – “Perfectionist” – hopes no one pushes political views on her
Libra – “Chameleon Mom” George Bush Land living with an Obama sign in her yard – here’sLibra’s possible MySpace
Commercial Two:
Ollie – The Preacher’s Son – doesn’t have anything against gays, just doesn’t think they’re going to heaven
Steven – The Rodeo Champ, and Gay Cowboy
Jerry – 75 year old great grandfather – married many years (Corner Office says “Everyone will love Jerry!” and that he is the biggest BB fan ever…)
Keesha – The Bombshell (looks a little like Daniele Donato) doesn’t think she could be committed to someone the rest of her life
Commercial Three:
April/Libra/Brian again, plus
Dan the Catholic School Teacher who says the best part of being Catholic is doing whatever you want and get away with it by simply going to confessional.
We’re still looking for:
Renny
Michelle
Memphis
Angie
Jess(i)e – the 22 year old, and likely a early target according to CornerOfficeX
And here are the commercials – two of them, anyway. the other one (with Dan) hasn’t been caught and uploaded yet.
oooooooooh, I’m gonna TELL!
The girl: What are you watching?
Me: She’s got the look.
Girl: who does?
Me: Apparently those models who are over 35 – it’s Top Model for
Girl: Old people? Ew.
Me: ExCUSE me?
Girl: I mean you could totally do that.
Me: Umhm.
Girl: She’s fifty?! She’s OLD!
Me: I’m gonna tell your Nana!
Girl: Why? I didn’t say 58 was old, I said 50 was old!
Me: …
Girl: Fifty is old… and 58 is REALLY old!
Me: I’M GONNA TEEEEEEEEELL!
And so I have. Heh.heh.heh. Get’er Nana!
draaaaaaama.
So, I’ve always known that there would be drama when the kids hit that lovely Hormone High known as the teenage years. I’ve been lucky, for the most part. It’s been minor blowouts, containable, and generally un-stressful. Generally. But my time was coming, my time was near – my time is here.
And it’s not one of the kids I gave birth too, just one of ‘my’ kids by proxy. The girlfriend of Z – the one who he was heartbroken over a while ago but who he’s since gotten back together with – is having some difficulties. B had been living with her grandparents, and it had gotten pretty bad there for her. It blew up bigtime a few days ago when her Grandma kicked her out, then promptly threatened to call the cops if she left.
…I know.
So she ran. And she ran straight to my house, via Z’s help and instruction. I’ve since gotten her to call her grandma (and THAT phonecall was one for the record books too.) and let them know she’s ok and has a place to stay, we’ve gotten her job squared away (she was sure she’d be fired, I walked her through talking to them – what to say, how to say it and to tell the truth, don’t try and snow them – and getting the result we wanted) and she’s staying with me and the kids for now.
She turns 18 in 2 months, and thus will then be legally able to be on her own, so it’s just keeping her out of the system until that time. Her grandmother told her not to call again, and we’ve discovered there are no authorities involved, so it should be pretty drama free for the most part. There is another grandmother that I’m hoping to have her check in with in time.
She’s a good kid, too. That’s the thing. She calls, she checks in, she lets me know where she is, what she’s doing, and even helps keep the boys in line. *L* There’s been a lot of laughter, some tears, talks, hair dye and play. She gets along with The Girl and is patient as can be with The Pup – and that’s a miracle in and of itself, as the boys have zero patience for poor Pup who only wants to be the center of attention at all times is that so much to ask GOSH. B is a wonderful girl, and I’m glad that she felt she could come to me in her time of need.
I guess I just don’t understand how some people think that suffocating the kids is the way to keep them controlled. It doesn’t work that way – they don’t like being controlled anymore then we do, or did at their age. Teach them, guide them, and give them a long leash (but not TOO long) and expect nothing less then the respect you deserve, and the kids will thrive and grow and learn. You have to trust that the lessons you taught them will sustain them through Hormone Hell, that they’ll know which decisions are the right ones and live by your rules even when not in your direct line of sight. I have great kids so maybe I’m just lucky.
Or maybe, just maybe, I’m doing something right.
Oh yeah – hair dye? Meet B (tri-toned! Blue, red, black) – with The Boy (Went blond to raven) and Z (from brunette to blond).
How cute are they?! (though obviously, they hate the camera. Sigh. Teenagers.)
Psst!
Remember that Writer’s Block of Blathering Snippets I started (and yes, need to post again in)? Yeah. Psst. Over there on the sidebar there, there’s now a box that says “Writer’s Block” and under it some links. There’s the most recent snippets. It will take you direct to those posts here at the snippet blog.
I know. like I needed another one, huh? *L* My name is Lessa, and I am a blogaholic.
(and ya’ll know it’s just because I wanted to use that theme, right? Right.)
(stop looking at me like that!)
