Did you realize Big Brother has been around as many years as Survivor? The television series Survivor. Not the ones who gave birth to Eye of the Tiger. The 10th season begins this Sunday at 8pm EST/PST, and airs every Tuesday (9pm E/P), Wednesday and Sunday (8pm E/P) on CBS. The 13 houseguests have been revealed. The Big Brother cast consists of Winston Smith, Julia, O’Brien, Emmanuel Goldstein and George Orwell, among others. Woops. Sorry. Wrong Big Brother page on Wikipedia.
For the first time in years, the cast is made up of complete strangers. No secret lovers. No bitter exes. And no long-lost brothers and sisters. Although, after three months of being locked up in a house with the same people, there will be plenty of fighting like brothers and sisters, with at least a secret romance or two developing, and then the eventual bitter break-up.
Among my early favorites I’ll be watching in night vision
… and I mean that in a non-stalker way … the show uses night vision:
April, the 30-year-old Financial Manager from ‘zona. If her career as a Financial Manager doesn’t sound exciting to you, watching her suffer through OCD in the house should appeal to the masochists. Yes, April suffers from OCD. She’s like the blond Howie Mandel. What are the chances she’ll put a glove over her head and blow it up?
Jerry, the 75-year-old “Rudy” of this season. Not the tiny football player, Rudy, but the original Survivor‘s Rudy. The old fella is in great shape, is a former Marine, and he’s playing for his wife, who was just diagnosed with Parkinson’s. How can’t you root for this guy?
What are your early thoughts on this season’s cast? Who will be a future BB All Star? Who will be the first to go? Who will be the boring floater?
