BB9 Time...Almost!

It's the ultimate guilty pleasure of the year...only this year I'm getting a double dose, thanks to the WGA. Big Brother 9, the first-ever winter edition, premieres on CBS Tuesday! And now there will be something other than crime shows on CBS at least three times a week! (Keep in mind, the only reason I got so into this show is because the only TV station I get at home is the one I work at, a CBS affiliate.)

I went online and checked out the bios of the incoming house guests. I thought it'd be fun to write up my own impressions of them now and then come back after the Tuesday premiere and see if I was anywhere close to what they're like on TV! Here we go...

Adam - a fashion designer who describes himself as self-centered, a "Casanova," and agressive in an arguement. The producers struck gold here...if his housemates can stand him long enough to keep him in the house for more than a week. He has his own design label...so I wonder how many times a day he'll bring that up.

Amanda - born one day after I was, she's a paralegal, and a hopeless romantic. This girl is straight out of a romantic comedy; single, twenty-something career girl trying to make it on her own, Mary Tyler Moore style. I might like her.

Alex - born one year after I was (exactly), he is Mr. New York. He lives in Staten Island, he lost his dad in 9/11, and he owns a DJ business.

Allison - she comes off as the scary power-woman. Intimidating resume, intimidating good looks, and...intimidating. She says women hate her. Can't imagine why...

Chelsia - she loves Harleys, describes herself as the "hot party girl," and has tons of tattoos. I like Harleys too, but that's all I have in common with this girl. The judgemental part of me says, "trashy."

Jacob - the all-American. He's a hard worker (electrician), former Marine, and faithful church-goer. He also might turn out to be the "nice guy" of the house.

James - he doesn't have a college education, he doesn't have a job, and he doesn't have any desire to conform to mainstream social standards. This is that guy who gets attention by trying really, really hard to be different and weird.

Jen - this is the true college party girl who never grew up. She got a degree in special ed, but she's working as a bartender. She's also a huge BB fan, so we might see some recycled strategy on her part.

Joshuah - another gold mine for the producers, he is an ad media buyer who is bisexual, an exhibitionist, and doesn't care what people think. Hello, sweeps period!

Matt - the ultimate tool. He has a Boston accent, keeps his exes around for "booty calls," and lost on Couples "Fear Factor." I predict that he'll be wicked obnoxious.

Natalie - Three words: Bikini. Barista. Bible.

Neil - a realtor, who tried and never succeeded at several things, including choosing a major, graduating college, and modeling. So I don't see him lasting very long on BB either.

Parker - he's the freaking paparazzi! Seriously, that's his job. He works for TMZ. I can't wait to watch this guy because I hate the paps. And because this is another ratings treasure chest; it's going to be tough for his housemates to keep secrets from him...or get him to keep any of their secrets! I say get him voted out, first thing Wednesday!

Ryan - he's a student at OSU, so I automatically have some Big Ten football hatred for him...but then I see that he's 27 and apparently majoring in partying, so I don't feel so bad.

Sharon - this realtor describes herself as "loud, dramatic, over the top." So...she's asking for it. And by it, I mean eviction.

Sheila - the cougar of the house. She is a 45-year-old single stay-at-home mom. Is that even possible? It is when you were Penthouse Pet of the Year in 1984 and used to be a model and live-in millionare's girlfriend. Her star has faded, but it's still paying, I guess.

OK, that's the rundown. I'll check back Tuesday night (hopefully) and we'll see how close I was, and I'll make some more predictions.

In other news, I got my hair cut! I realize the picture I have on here is me with short hair...I grew it out and now it's short again, and a really cute blonde!

That's enough for now...more later!
