BB14: Fun Wil and JoJo Meltdown Rumor

Okay, I have to say, if Wil keeps this up I might be rooting for him!




 Too funny!

As of 10:05 am bbt, the rumor mill has started again. Word of JoJo having a massive meltdown during the first HoH comp and losing it on production because of the Mentors, which resulted in her being ejected from the house, is spreading. Truth? We don't know. The rumor mill is maintaining that it will all make the premiere on July 12th.

If this is true, JoJo has managed to swipe the Most Disappointing HG crown from Chima. The chances are, however, that is is not true at all. This season has started off with so much excitement and speculation even before the premiere or the feeds go live. CBS is laughing all the way to the bank...

1:10pm BBT: This came in from Jojo Spatafora's twitter account which her family is allegedly running (Thanks Michelle!) @JojoSpatafora Yes it's true, Jo is no longer apart of Big Brother. We would like to thank everyone for the support during her short time on CBS. Thank you

Well, what do you know? Not much as it seems, until Thursday. Is this twitter account fake or real? It was started 5 days ago, so it could very well be that her family started it. We will keep digging! As of 2:05 pm BBT... @JoJoSpatafora twitter account was deleted...

Gotta love it! Fake tweets, fake twitter accounts, fake ejections, fake "insider" info. Or not... Let the games begin!

Stay tuned!

BB14: First HGs Enter the House

It's official. Yesterday, the HGs entered the house and here is photographic evidence leaked by Big Brother Live Feeds on Facebook.

Exciting stuff! No more news on the mentors but CBS is slacking, not following through with its promise to grey out two pictures a day. This isn't setting a good precedent for the season.

BB14: More buzz

As the days get closer to the first Big Brother 14 show, July 12th, the rumors and insider info keep coming in.

Mike, Janelle, Dan and Britney are the 4 names that keep coming up as the mentors. Also, sources say, they are moving into the house tonight or tomorrow morning, with the mentors coming in shortly after, The teams will be decided tomorrow and the first HoH competition is on Monday.

This all seems pretty credible to me, but again, nothing has been officially confirmed. The mentor leak was correct though, so we shall see!

If this is correct, I'm not liking that they're being split into teams rather than allowing the players to organically choose their own. That won't stop people from forming their own alliances, but it is rather unfair to force teams. When they did that in season 11 with the cliques, it kind of threw a wrench in a lot of peoples' game.

But as always, expect the unexpected! :)

As of 11:15 am bbt, rumor has it that someone left the house because of a family emergency. Also, everything will be happening today/tonight, including teams and HoH comp.

As of 10 minutes ago, Dan is still tweeting...

Stay tuned for more...

BB14 Rumours

There are a lot of rumors and hype about who else will be in the house, and certainly with BB promotions boasting the biggest cast ever, the 12 revealed will not be the only ones in the house. The BB Alumni are also weighing in and speculation is growing.

Mentors: The rumor that past BB players joining the cast has been officially confirmed. It will definitely not be someone from last season and they will take on the roles of mentors for the Houseguests, but will be competing for a separate prize. Check out: CBS




The possible mentors: So far the speculation generated by James Early is producing the following names:

Mike 'Boogie" Malin (BB2, BB7)

Janelle Pierzina (BB6, BB7)
Though I'm not sure how she will be in the house, since she's slated to do Rumor Control on Superpass, July 6th...
Dan Gheesling (BB10)
This is what Dan replied to the rumor... but knowing Dan, he can be a tricky one ;-)

Britney Haynes (BB12)
She last tweeted yesterday, and not about BB... I'll keep digging...

HOWEVER, none of this has been officially confirmed by CBS, AGP (Allison Grodner Productions) or anyone in an official capacity working with the show. We won't really know for sure until 9 pm, July 12th on CBS! :)

BB14: 11 Houseguests Revealed

Kara Monaco
Model-29
She is soft-spoken and seems grounded despite her rather salty fame. Her views on past Houseguests seems to follow the majority: loves Jeff & Jordan, likes Evel Dick, dislikes Lydia, finds Rachel annoying. That makes me think she can't look beyond the obvious, but she has that in common with many. What did endear me to her is her like of Hunger Games and not being impressed with 50 Shades of Grey. The girl has good taste in novels.She also wants to give her mom the money, so that will endear her with many feeders.

Willie Hantz
Tankerman-34
His strategy is going to cause discord in the house and back-stab. He wants to make the house miserable. I hope he doesn't make me miserable! He doesn't mind being hated. He says he will not ever cry in the house.He's cocky. I might like that, but I can also see myself being irritated with him. He likes to gamble and wants out of his job, so the money would come in handy so he can gamble some more. He loves his kids, so that's something.

Frank Eudy
Unemployed-28
The reason he's unemployed is that he's looking for something he really wants to do. (Nice job if you can get it.)  His father is Sid Eudy (Sid Viscous) but he doesn't want anyone in the house to know. Frank is a super fan, and is hoping to create a strong alliance. He likes Chill Town, especially Mike Boogie, Dan and JeJo. He wasn't very impressed with Adam, not wanting to follow his floating strategy. (Frank, please refer to the definition of floater. Thanks.) He seems to have the Jeff factor, but we'll see how that plays out and how far it will get him.

Early prediction: Willie and Frank will come head -to-head sooner rather than later. I see some sort of alliance between Frank and Kara, maybe even a showmance.

Danielle Murphree
Nurse-23
She loves being a nurse and helping others, but she doesn't want the HGs to know. She plans on playing the social game, and lay back at the beginning of the game. She will want to win competitions though,. later on. She's athletic and ready to have the full BB experience. She predicts that she will be the one to stand up for others, and might cry; despite being afraid she will be an emotional player, she wants to play an honest game. She is planning on telling the HGs that she's a kindergarten teacher so she doesn't appear as a threat which compliments her intention of not seeming competitive or smart in the beginning. Here's hoping the house does not break her down. I have high hopes for her.

Early prediction: She and Kara will either be besties or huge enemies in the house. They might even rival for some masculine attention.

Jenn Arroyo
Musician-37
She is the singer and guitarist of Jenn City and the former bass player of Kittie. She plans on playing with a combination of honesty, breaking hearts and a "little dirty work in the background". Me likey. She expects to be judged based on her looks, taking full advantage of peoples' preconceptions. She wants to lean back, read people, scope the situation and then "pounce". She's very physical, being very active with some "smarts in her noggin:. Every now and then she hopes to throw out a wild card. She's up for wearing any outfit BB throws her way. She gets along better with guys but she loves her female friends too. She seems very laid back and cool. One of my faves so far.


JoJo Spatafora
Promotional Model-26
She loves her job, because it's easy and fun. Okay. She wants to be a villain in the house. She will gauge the house first and float in the beginning, but she might surprise herself and us. She wants to take risks, take chances and play the game to the fullest. She dreads any romances being thrown at her, but she's not adverse to making out with a guy or a girl if it furthers her game. She doesn't want a showmance, but she won't invest in it. Though she is a new fan, she describes herself a heart-core fan.She wants to be the female Evel Dick (eyeroll). She thinks Rachel's attitude sucks, so she wouldn't get along with someone like that.

Early Prediction: JoJo and Jenn will definitely butt heads. In fact, I doubt she will get along with any of the girls. She will be a male-attention hog. Further, I don't predict I will like her, but we will see.

Wil Heuser
Marketing Consultant-24
Right away, I think Braden. Remember him? He is a creative director finding the most effective way to execute an idea. He wants to downgrade his job so as not to seem threatening. (Cause artistic directors make me shake in my boots.) He hasn't decided whether he will be a hero or a villain, but he wants to play a "clean" game. "Gotta keep it classy bitches" He also plans on laying back and taking scope of the situation. (With everyone laying back , Hantz will win all the challenges.) He definitely does not want to adopt a floater strategy. (Again, read the definition.) He hopes to win more Vetoes than HoH. He is also a triathele, so he plans on being competitive in the challenges. He plans to ally with the least expected person (Willie would be my guess). He doesn't like drama, girly girls or jocks. And what's he doing in the BB house?

Early Prediction: He will probably be BFFs with JoJo and try to ally himself with Jenn, but I don't think the later will play. Though he should ally with someone like Willie, I doubt the latter will let him anywhere near.

Ashley Iocco
Mobile Spray Tanner-26
She owns her own spray tanning business, but doesn't plan to tan in the house. (Fascinating) She wants to be a hero and "give love". She will enact the "Snow White Strategy" which means she will charm everyone into following her. She wants a huge alliance to protect herself. She also wants a "secret alliance".  Sorry, I couldn't get through the whole interview. She will probably have an allaince of 1 before she gets evicted.

Early Prediction: The first to break or be evicted. My least fave thus far.

Ian Terry
Engineering Student-21
Before I even hear his interview, I find him endearing. Let's see what I think after I watch his interview. He loves his field because it's laid back but challenging. He's been watching BB since season 2 when he was 10. I want to pinch his cheeks, he's so cute. His favorite players are Dr. Will, Roddy from BB 3 and Jack from BB4, because the former were unpredictable and getting people to do what he wanted. He likes Jack because he played a clean game; however, he didn't enjoy Chima's or Amber's (BB8) attitudes. He hopes to be a hero but fears he might "accidentally" become a villain. He's very endearing. He's a huge super fan but doesn't want anyone to know. He is planning on being in an alliance early and  likes floating as a strategy not as a cop-out.I love this dude! He doesn't expect to do well in the physical challenges but he expects to do very well in the mental challenges because he has a great memory. He's a neat freak which will probably put him at loggerheads with others in the house.

Early Prediction: An alliance with Jodi (see below) and probably Jenn. He will have a crush on Kara even though he prefers brunettes. 

Jodi Rollins
Restaurant Server-42
She's a newlywed and left her husband and 5 step kids whom she was devastated to leave behind but has their full support. She wants to be a hero, planning on being herself as a decent person but she's not beyond lying and manipulating in the game. She definitely does not want to be a floater.(Another one.) She wants to be part of the mix, making decisions and being in the know. She thinks her downfall will be her tendency to want to be involved in things and is opinionated. She's not a JeJo fan in the game but thinks they're great as people. She seems not to like big personalities. She loves Cassie, Dominic and Dani from Season 13. She is looking forward to being in the house because she has been a huge feeds watcher.

Early Prediction: Kara will get on a lot of people's nerves because she will butt into every situation. Her strongest ally probably will be Jenn and/or Ian.

Shane Meany
House Flipper-26
Let's hope he brings his profession into the BB house and flips it all over the place! Based on his profession, he's very organized and competitive which he thinks will help him in the game. He won't let the others know his profession. He will tell them he is a wine merchant and a trainer. (What's the difference?) He wants to be a hero, playing the nice guy but switch his game play depending on the twists. He compares himself to Hayden, Brendon and Jeff. (eye roll) He wants to form an alliance but wants to do it carefully, though he isn't planning on telling anyone a lot of personal information.(Way to get peeps to trust you!) He's great at physical challenges but has a poor memory. (Get with Ian). He makes friends easily. We shall see...

Early prediction: He will butt heads with Willie, might get along with Frank, Kara and maybe even Danielle.

Not interviewed on Superpass:
Joe Arvin 
Chef- 41
That's it for now! Stay tuned for more!

Commercial Sneak Peak

Apart from the house reveal on Superpass, clues are trickling in about the new house guests. The biggest one being the new commercial featuring some of the new Big Brother house occupants!




How exciting!
The Survivor tie-in so far, is Willie who is Russell Hantz's bro. Prolific family, huh? I don't have a feel for them yet, until we learn more. All I can say is: I. AM. STOKED!!!

Almost There!

It's almost that time again. Big Brother is set to premiere July 12th with the feeds going live after the show airs.

But first, what pre-drama is this? ABC's launch of their copy-cat show The Glass House, made CBS drag them to court for stealing their concept. CBS lost, and the first episode aired on June 18th.

Meh. Big Brother has nothing to worry about. The Glass House is just what it is. A poor copy. Yes, the house is swanky. Yes, they're trying to tempt the viewing public by giving them control by answering the house guests' lame questions and deciding which of the two house guests in "limbo" (read lame-boo) will be evicted. Yes, they have one obnoxious house guest who is already calling himself the ultimate reality villain. (Dude, self-appointed titles are beyond lame.) Yes, former Big Brother employee and game designer, Mike O'Sullivan is very much evident with the first "challenge" which was cool because the dude is talented.

But, no. They won't be luring Big Brother fans into the glass cage.

Let the real show begin!
