And the video of the Houseguests:
AND – the House Tour:



Yay! Even with the outside job, you’ve come through for us. First impressions: Lane and Brendan = totally hot! Ragan, not so much, but I’m remembering who came in third last season… Out of the girls, I’m feeling good vibes for Kathy, as long as she doesn’t let herself come out of the gates too fast.
So, will your employer let you have a three month leave of absence for BB12? PLEASE?????
*LOL* I wish, but alas – not so much. *chuckles* However, I will be covering bits of the feeds on occasion – stay tuned for the when and where announcement!
Hey Wolf!!! Hey Lessa!
I wish they weren’t doing the Have/Have Nots this year. Maybe this year they will actually enforce the no sleeping rule. But that giganto couchy thing in the cabana room screams for peeps to sleep during the day.
I love the colors in the house.
I stink at making judgement calls this stage, but I will go for geography. I grew up right outside of Texarkana, and Decatur is close to where I live now. So, yeah, Kathy and Lane for the Texan me.
I don’t know about the rest yet. I do like that the ages and occupations are pretty mixed this year.
I’m excited. soooo flipping excited!
The thing that Lane is most afraid of…
electric fences. hmmm… makes sense.
Hey, he’s a practical guy.
Thank you so much Lessa for the videos. Now it’s beginning to feel real; seeing the houseguests and their names make it all come alive once more. Not going to make any judgements on who I like or dislike yet; going to wait to see how they interact with each other in the house. Lane seems very laid back. That’s probably a good thing; it will probably take him far in the game not to be
“out there” so much. Love the 1st bedroom’s colors; cool and serene. The orange room is a little over the top for me; don’t think I would rest well with that color surrounding me. The rest of the house looks good except for the pink flamingos. When we lived on the coast of Georgia for 21 years, many people had these in their front yards. Always thought they were tacky.That’s just my personal taste. If anyone has pink flamingos in their yard I mean no offense. Good to hear from Wolf again and you too Jodda. I feel among family again. Lessa once again, Thank you!!!!!
Hi TinaBrown!! It’s so good to see you too!
Did you guys see the media day’s video (on cbs site? and bsideblog’s site?) It was so much fun to watch. I could watch that cast any day! seriously.
Hi all!
Tina, looks like we wouldn’t be fighting over bedrooms… I love the orange room and normally I can’t stand that color. This time it reminds me of sunset.
Right now I have my hopes for Rachel or Enzo. They could both be fun but they could both be problems as well.
I’m not really liking Monet and my husband and I are trying to decide between Lane and Hayden for who is most likely to send my head to the table most often. He says it’s Lane, I’m thinking Hayden.
I can’t wait to see this group in action!
Jodda, no I have not seen it yet, but now that I know about it I will surely take a look. Thank you so much. And Polka, we would surely get along since you like the orange room. And I’ve noticed that Lane is getting a lot of chat time on other sites. He has caught a lot of peoples attention. It’s good to hear from old BB friends. I know we will stay in touch. lol
Jodda, I did watch the press day in the BBH. It makes me really ready to see the real new cast and all of their challenges. Hurry July 8th!
Hi everyone! So it’s almost that time! I can’t wait to do this again with all of you! Lessa I’m working too this summer and wont be watching the feeds like I did last year. Will be counting on all of you more than ever this year! lol YAY So excited!!!
I can already tell you I don’t like Andrew. He said he did not like stupid demwitted blondes. In other words, I guess stupid dimwitted brunettes are ok. He looked sheepish when he was asked about twists in the game. He could be the mole. I’m just saying………….
Impressed with Britany, Annie and Brenden. Matt’s vocabulary is very limited as evident in his choice of just a few words; that did not impress me at all.
