Finally had a chance to watch the houseguest intros and all I can say is, wow they sure did find some hot messes. I'll quickly go through the list and my first impressions of these people. And can I say how happy I am that it's all newbies! :D
1) Victoria - Nope, dont like you. In your interview, you came across very defensive already, which wont play well for you in the game. Also, you talked about how all girls are catty, and well, I think this season we could see a majority girl alliance, so that means you could be their first target.
Overall Rating - 4/10
2) Nicole - While your interview was painful to watch, I am really rooting for you! You seem extremely awkward, but genuine and down to earth. Your looks and your humble personality will probably get you far. I see you being similar to Kara, the kind beauty that everyone loves, but hopefully this season you wont get an early boot.
Overall Rating - 8/10
3) Zach - God, why are we going to have to put up with you this summer? You're the A-Type personality that I just can't stand. The over confidence is not something that ever helps in the game so hopefully you'll get a pre-jury eviction.
Overall Rating - -1/10
4) Derrick - Eh, I'm on the fence with you. I'm kinda over the whole "let's cast a cop" thing that CBS continually does, especially after the last season of Survivor. However, you do seem to be more likable than previous, though you dont seem 100% in it to win it.
Overall Rating - 5/10
5) Hayden - If Braden from BB11 and David from BB15 had a love child, that would be you. If you aren't out in the first two weeks, I'm be completely shocked. For that reason, I'm not rooting for you at all because I really dont want to hear you call everyone "dude" for the entire summer. You'll have no concept of the game going on around you and can't wait to see you get played.
Overall Rating - 3/10
6) Donny - Ok, I automatically have to like you because of that beard and the fact that you're from NC. I can see you playing a similar game to Judd, which is ok with me. Everyone loves the southern (possibly slow) guy, so that should play to your advantage. You'll make it probably mid-season, but I hope you do better.
Overall Rating - 6/10
7) Paola - Eh, you seem like a floater and an annoying one at that. You have an over the top personality, which will make you a target early on, but you don't seem like a game player so it could go either way. You kinda remind me of BB14 Jenn probably cause you're in the music scene, but also because I could see you thinking that you're not a floater when you will be.
Overall Rating - 4/10
8) Jocasta - I do like you, but I really, really hope you dont let the whole religion thing turn people off. This is a youngish crowd, and they could be turned off by a mother-type religious figure. However if you can keep that to yourself mostly, then I think you'll do really well and I'll be cheering for you.
Overall Rating 7/10
9) Frankie - Watch out, here comes what is likely going to be an unpopular opinion here on Tengaged, but I do not like Frankie at all. The "alternative" gay archetype is something I really wish Big Brother would get away from. I was really, really praying for this season to have a gay guy like Steven, who didn't make it a point to have his sexuality define him. But instead, we have somebody like the incredibly obnoxious Joey from Amazing Race, who's claim to fame is a YouTube channel and a famous sister. Please for the love of God do not make it to jury.
Overall Rating - 2/10
10) Brittany - I'm loving you already! It's probably because there are a lot of similarities between you and Elissa (my BB15 queen) in that you are both mothers, gorgeous, and seem very personable and friendly. The only draw back is that you haven't seen the show, so I hope you can actually play the game and not just float by. If you do end up proving yourself early on, you will absolutely do well.
Overall Rating - 8/10
11) Caleb - Somewhat like you, I'll have to wait and see how the season plays out. If you team up with people like Zach and Hayden, I'll despise you. However, if you are with some of the more tolerable people, then I'll be pulling for you because you seem like a nice guy and seem to have all the tools you might need to win the game.
Overall Rating - 6/10
12) Christine - OMG PLEASE CAN WE BE FRIENDS!? I absolutely adore you already! Now you aren't going to do well at ALL, but I'm still going to love watching you because I think if we knew each other in real life, we'd be best of buds. She's quirky, a gamer, a little strange, and seems to have a great sense of humor. If the "girls alliance" that some of the girls have been talking about works out, and you find yourself in that alliance, I think you might have a shot at making a run to the final few weeks. Plus the fact that your strategy going into the game REALLY fits the season's twist. The problem is, I'm not sure people will vote for you in the end, but who knows, I thought the same thing about Ian when his season first started. Either way, all of my support is behind you, so make me proud!
Overall Rating 10/10
13) Devin - Eh, you dont seem to be completely interested in being in the Big Brother house. You seem very nice and outgoing, but I can see you playing a game similar to Howard, where you aren't entirely sure what's going on around you and you end up the victim of circumstances. But good luck I guess?
Overall Rating 5/10
14) Cody - Well, clearly the hottie of the season (but then again, there isn't much competition) so you already have points there. And I dont see you being too macho so that's great too. And there are a few gay vibes, so I'm loving that too. Again, dont lump yourself in with the wrong crowd and you'll do well!
Overall Rating 7/10
15) Joey - You're pretty good in my book. You seem like a lot of fun, but not an attention whore, which is really good. Add that to the fact that you are really pulling for a girls alliance, and you have a great shot at making at least jury. Hopefully the house doesn't see you and Christine as easy targets for being the "off-beat" girls, because you two would make a great duo. I'm very excited to see your game play out.
Overall Rating - 8/10
16) Amber - Girl, yes! I love everything about you. You're voice alone makes me smile and you are drop dead gorgeous. The only draw back is you seem a little bit naive, so please dont let somebody else play you. I didn't think I was going to like you the first moment I saw you because you looked like a catty bitch, but please stick to your word and try to get the girls to work together.
