Introducing The Girls of Big Brother 16

Today was the big day that the Big Brother cast was announced and UF and I are frantically digging up the basic information on all of the new hamsters! First up, the females! There are a lot of recruited “Mactor Wannabee” (Model-Actor hybrid). This is never good. I’m hoping that I’m just in a bad mood or the interviews I watched weren’t very interesting because so far I am underwhelmed by these ladies.  Below you can meet all 8 ladies with their basic bio and a he said/ she said first impressions by me and UF! Bear in mind, I watched interviews on The Big Brother Network ( I think it was called) and I believe UF watched on CBS. So we both got different information.

We will have the info on the boys shortly!

Amber Borzotra
Age: 26
Hometown: Knoxville, Tennessee
Living: North Hollywood, California
Occupation: Esthetician
Marital Status: Single

UF: She is gorgeous, sweet, and likes to have fun. She is a soft spoken people pleaser; a double edge sword that might either get her stomped on, or help her float in the game because she might be perceived as less of a threat.  I think she might be a beast in the competitions because she loves outdoor activities & is athletic so I see her going at least half way in this game.

TT: When you google her she is actually a model. She’s fake. Her voice is monotonous and she seems like she is on ‘ludes but says she is very bubbly. Typical dumb wannabe Mactor. UPDATE: Despite my initial comments, I watched her again, and she is my favorite of the girls.

Brittany Martinez
Age: 29
Hometown: Long Beach, California
Living: Torrance, California
Occupation: Event Coordinator
Marital Status: Single

UF: A mother of three with a smoking HOT body that made me say DAYUM. She is new to BB and hasn’t watched past seasons which is a big mistake because she has no idea what she just signed up for. I hope while in sequester she gets caught up on dvd’s of past seasons because I don’t see her going far unless she has some showmance protection or kicks ass in the competitions.

TT: “Event Planner”  aka Patron shot girl wannabe Mactor. She was just recruited two weeks ago. Not a Big Brother fan never seen the show until she was recruited. She has three kids. She says she is good at reading people and gaining trust. She plans to try to win competitions. She wants to align with a “strong man player” and a “weak person she can manipulate.” This is the second interview I’ve watched but it seems like she is on Brittany’s ‘ludes. Personality of a wet dish towel.

Christine Brecht
Age: 23
Hometown: Tucson, Arizona
Living: Married
Occupation: Shift Supervisor/Barista
Marital Status: Married

UF: She’s a female version of BB15 McCrae. Sorry for that comparison but she’s kinda nerdy, and is a long time BB fan & past live feed watcher so that alone gives her an advantage.  She KNOWS the game well & how to play. Her job as a barista will help her deal with & pacify the different personalities. I think she will go far.

TT: Christine is a superfan. She has personality and tattoos. I don’t like her yet. I might later. You may have noticed I’m not in the most pleasant of moods lately, so maybe it is just me. I hate her accent.

Jocasta Odom
Age: 33, will turn 34 on 8/10/14
Hometown: Griffin, Georgia
Living: Lovejoy, Georgia
Occupation: Minister
Marital Status: Married

UF: OH LAWDHAMERCY she’s a sassy bible thumper. Judging by her personality I would have never pegged her to be a minister; so I expect her to take NO bullshit, and she is most likely to shut you down. I think we can expect some conflict and drama from her. YAY, but I wish I can turn back time and put her in the BB15 house. She is mostly likely to swear on the bible while lying to get further in the game, but I don’t think she will go far.

TT: Jocasta is a superfan. I really want to like homegirl, but I don’t. She is a “Minister” She reminds me of Porsha in the pulpit. I do like she wants an all female alliance. Please don’t let there be a religious/good people alliance. Resident hypocrite.

Joey Van Pelt
Age: 27
Hometown: Seattle, Washington
Living: Seattle, Washington
Occupation: Makeup Artist/Hairstylist
Marital Status: Single

UF: She seems very liberal & open minded so why is Gina Marie her favorite past HG? Oh gawd not even my love for her blue hair makes me want to root for her even though I really think I might like her deep down inside.  I do think she is going to deliver some conflict in the house; and I don’t think she’ll last long enough to have a need to freshen up that dye job.

TT: Joey was recruited. She hasn’t had a TV in a long time. Joey also wants an all female alliance. She loves the ladies. Ladies like her. She plans to stay middle of the pack. She’s alright. She may be hiding in the closet on TV. Not sure yet.

Nicole Franzel
Age: 21, turns 22 on 6/30/14
Hometown: Ubly, Michigan
Living: Ubly, Michigan
Occupation: Recent Nursing Graduate
Marital Status: Single

UF: She could be BB11 winner Jordan’s doppelganger, and she’s just as boring too.  She’s a huge BB fan and does have knowledge of the game. I think she’s going to be annoying to the other girls, and she might get ganged up on and evicted early. Her strategy is to win first HOH which is a big mistake.

TT: Nicole is a superfan. Her voice/accent annoys me. She smiles a lot.  She describes herself as quirky and country. She is one of the girls who says she is going to try to win all the competitions and looks forward to endurance. She wants to make big moves.  She seems a more nervous than the rest. She’s a Dan fan. She needs a good foundation.

Paola Shea
Age: 27
Hometown: East Hampton, Connecticut
Living: Astoria, New York
Occupation: DJ
Marital Status: Single

UF:  Since I’m a huge music lover you’d think I’d be cheering for this gorgeous outspoken DJ from NYC, but hit the buzzer cause I still don’t like her. She has a high obnoxious quotient, and her strategy is to be fake fake fake. I don’t think she can pull that off for more than a week because her nickname is PowPow, and I expect her to pop off quick.  Apparently she is real life friends with the human bedbug Gina Marie of BB15 infamy. How did this chick get cast? That is NOT fair because America will be part of the game and voting this season, and since GM has a huge twitter following (mostly Eastern Europe) she likely will be asking her followers to vote in favor of Paola.  I can’t wait for some current HG to start badmouthing GM so Paola can PowPow her way out of that house. BUHBYE soon I hope.

TT: Paola or Pao Pao was also recruited. She’s up for physical challenges but not the memory ones. She plans to be the behind the scenes manipulator and her strategy is not going to be winning all the challenges. She doesn’t like fakey, ditzy, lazy people. She doesn’t sound like she will be good in a female alliance. Then of course she says she wants an all girl alliance. Then she says she doesn’t get along with girls again. She contradicts herself with every answer. She’s a short timer.

Victoria Rafaeli
Age: 22
Hometown: Brooklyn, New York, and Holon, Israel
Living: Weston, Florida
Occupation: Photographer
Marital Status: Single

UF: She is Kardashianesque from a religious family. She seems media savvy, & owns her own photography business, so she is probably more mature than others in her age group. She might be more concerned about her image than catty girl drama. After BB she wants to be liked by the public, so I think she is going to be super aware of the cameras. I think she is in it for some free publicity for her business, and other female HG may get jealous of her.  She has potential to go far in the game.

TT: Victoria was also recruited. She considers herself exotic. She is a superfan. She is a Dan fan. She seems more savvy than the other girls. She plans to play a good social game.

So who do you think will be your favorite female?
