HamsterDame -
Gee - - thanks for summarizing all that for us! I'd add that Joshuah has an intense fear of snakes, a fear I'm betting they're going to capitalize on during his stay in the house.
What does NSFW mean?
And, according to CBS Bio, Sheila's sister is the one with five children and the one who donated her kidney to one of them, not Sheila. Sheila has one son who is 16 years old.
From HD - NSFW means Not Safe For Work. In other words, take care clicking on the link if you're at work or somewhere else you might get "in trouble". LOL
And thanks for the correction! Musta been having a brain fart!

Great job with the summary!!!
I am most curious about Natalie right now. Bikini barista, semi nude modeling, etc. but has a bible with her at all times. I have to see how she explains all that. LOL.
James should be fun and interesting. Parker looks cool. Chelsia seems to be fun too. I think Matt is my least favourite to start with.
Can't wait for it alll to start!

Hi HD,
I'll have to root for Neil and Ryan, since we share the same birthdate, September 16, what's the oddes of that,hope it's not a miss print,
looking forward to a great season of BB9, hope they did'nt bring it back to soon, on a count of the writers strike.. Well be chanting with you guys soon..

I'm not sure about this winter BB season - is it thrown together to fill time due to the writers strike? Is it well thought out? Will I have time to watch it? Thanks for the update and hyping it up. If I didn't have you on my blogroll I wouldn't have even known there was a new BB starting.
Keep up the great coverage! I love reading your blogs!

Looks like there's gonna be a lot of talk about turtles(several have them as pets). This group is seems young to have so many dads be gone, at least they're really close to their moms.
BTW, thanks HamsterDame for your good work.

I'm looking forward to another dose of big brother. I think this cast will be interesting even though they're a pretty bunch...... it's kind of got a vouyerism twist with them being good looking.
Posted by: tate at February 7, 2008 12:49 PM
Thanks for all the work putting the infro on each HG I think my fav right now is James I will see how I feel about him after he has been in the house for awhile.I personally think this cast was more for show time T&A and the bible thing we shall see??

For what it is worth, Adam is not listed in the member directory for the Public Relations Society of America. If he really does practice public relations, I have to question how committed he is to the profession. Also, Adam's profile on CBS.com shows him as a "Public Relations Manager" but he introduced himself during the first show as a "public relations director." Seems like he is trying to inflate his job title to impress the houseguests.

James has a video on the web that is of him and another "GUY", so James is actually Bi!!! Google his name and you will see it!! It's in a gay porn site!!! Thanks for all the info, it is really informing!! I love Matt & Natalie and hope Alex gets to come back!!! Keep up the good work!!! Chelsia is going to freak when she gets out and learns who James really is and sees his video!!
