Tonight Big Brother is Back!

Tonight is the premier of the new season of Big Brother. It is a guilty pleasure that I hate to admit that I watch. I'm not sure why I watch it. It really is a horrible show. There always has been a part of me that thinks I would be very happy living in a trailer park. It is this part of me that likes Big Brother.

The photos above are of four of the new cast members. Russell is the bald, muscle guy realtor. His bio describes him as "loud and brash, Russell holds nothing back and is always ready for a fight."

Next is Jeff, a single advertising salesman that I think might be gay. His bio says he hopes one day to find his perfect mate (notice the gender is not specified), and is looking for someone who is fun, beautiful and looks great just hanging around the house. He wouldn't mind a "showmance" with one of his fellow House guests if she (trying to throw us off the track?) fits his criteria. His bio also says he describes himself as curious, adventurous, spontaneous, witty and outgoing. My gaydar is off the charts.

Braden spends his time surfing and has experience working as an international model and an actor. This bachelor lists his favorite activities as sleeping and talking to girls. He is a cocky surfer who, ironically, is afraid of drowning. He constantly boasts about his self-perceived intelligence, looks, charm and overall desirability." He sounds like a bore, but he is a bikini.com model. He is allowed to be a bore.

Finally, there is Kevin, a former Jehovah's Witness and the out gay guy (I assume). "He was excommunicated at age 21. Cut off from his family and friends, he didn’t let it destroy him. Instead, he found happiness and thrived. He currently works as a graphic designer."

His bio continues with, "people are sometimes thrown off by his exotic look and cannot determine what nationality he is. He affectionately calls himself "blackanese" as a tribute to his African-American and Japanese heritage. He describes himself as ghetto, fabulous and inappropriate, and warns his fellow house guests that, although he doesn't have a temper, he can get bitchy." Yeah. He's gay.

There is also a mystery house guest that may be one or more former house guests from previous seasons. And I'm sure there will be many crazy twists and surprises throughout the season. From looking at the cast, I'm surprised they stay with their tried and true formula. One old guy (though he is younger than me), one black chick, one gay guy, etc. They should shake it up. My suggestion for a future season is to have all the house guest be secretly bisexual. Eventually, their secrets would be revealed and anybody could hook up with anybody. That sounds like a fun season!
