I’m bit bit behind getting started on Big Brother this season. Things have been super busy here the last couple of weeks. Then I took some much-needed time off for a birthday staycation. I am just having a bit of time to get caught up with the new housemates.
So far, this crowd looks, um interesting. I have not signed up for the feeds yet to see the interviews. I may try to do that later tonight. Right now, I am still in staycation mode watching a really good Lifetime movie.
Raven Walton (Recruit)
Age: 23
Hometown: DeValls Bluff, AR
Current city: DeValls Bluff, AR
Occupation: Dance teacher
Small but surprisingly athletic. Likes to cook and plans to feed the house. Her favorite former hamster is The Brother Who Shall Not Be Named. So for that alone I hate her. Has some tragic story (and I’m not talking about her stupid hair) that requires a “pacemaker in her stomach.”
Ramses Soto (Superfan)
Age: 21
Hometown: Grand Rapids, MI
Current city: Grand Rapids, MI
Occupation: Cosplay artist
Despite his quirky whackadoodleness, he is a super fan and Dan Gheesling is his favorite hamstere. Nice choice. He has a decent strategy. Plans to rely on social game and secret alliance and wait til the end to show he can win HOH. I have hope for this one.
Kevin Schlehuber
Age: 55
Hometown: Boston, MA
Current city: Boston, MA
Occupation: Stay-at-home dad
Fun facts about Kevin:
– I was Mr. Massachusetts in 1986
– I have a birthmark in my eye

An elderly drug dealer nicknamed The Cheese was sentenced yesterday to a decade behind bars for trafficking large amounts of cocaine from his West Roxbury home throughout the 1990s.
Andrew F. Schlehuber, 69, (ALLEGEDLY KEVIN’s DADDY) was ordered by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Raymond Brassard to serve 10 years in state prison, the state’s minimum mandatory sentence for trafficking cocaine in excess of 100 grams.
I try to root for the older hamster, but his guy may end up being a masshole who talks too much. Kevin’s mama was acquitted on a one count related charge.
Josh Martinez
Age: 23
Hometown: Miami, FL
Current city: Homestead, FL
Occupation: Haircare sales
Please god don’t let this be the token gay guy. He’s a self proclaimed liar who wants to be naked on TV. NOE.
Jessica Graf
Age: 26
Hometown: Cranston, RI
Current city: Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: VIP concierge
She seems like a girl who wants to or has just completed a um, yacht tour. Tons of modeling photos. Spoiler alerts, models usually go out fourth. Is that the curse? I forget. The male fans both straight and gay are drooling, she seems like a nice girl who wants to earn fast money, I predict she falls in Hamster Love and is dicked in the end with no lube.
Christmas Abbott
Age: 33
Hometown: Lynchburg, VA
Current city: Raleigh, NC
Occupation: Fitness superstar
Fun facts about Christmas:
– First female in NASCAR Sprint Cup pit crew member
– National best-selling book author, who just released a second book
– CrossFit Games athlete
– Two-time Iraq contractor
– I love being creepy
She could be a contender. The girls may hate her rather than try to ally with her though. Her favorite player is Helen, and while she was good, she wasn’t able to bond with the girls on a her season and was seen as playing all sides. Because she was. wasn’t. something. She didn’t win. She will be a competition beast. So that will appeal to the other women in the house to ally with her. Or take her out.
Mark Jansen
Age: 26
Hometown: Grand Island, NY
Current city: Grand Island, NY
Occupation: Personal trainer
Body builder, dramatic weight loss, wants to get laid in the house. BRENDON is is favorite hamster. BRENDON. Dear God. Send him home first.
Dominique Cooper
Age: 30
Hometown: Tuskegee, AL
Current city: Woodbridge, VA
Occupation: Government engineer
Smart, mature, educated bible thumper…claims a superfan but was unable to name her favorite former hamster. That puts her at a disavantage if she has never seriously watched the show. Who was that one black girl who prayed a lot that one season and some guy played for her when she was sick? She’s that girl. But smarter. Wildcard. Also the only black girl in the house. Question mark?
Jason Dent Recruit!
Age: 37
Hometown: Humeston, IA
Current city: Humeston, IA
Occupation: Rodeo clown
Um… favorite hamster was James Huling, because he was dumb but made it really far. At least he has a good role model. Then he says he has never seen the show, so we know what episodes he was shown in sequester. His “cowboy hat” looks like Mickey Mouse ears, which he has to know. If he is the gay guy, I’m down. Goes by the nickname of Whistle Nut. Sigh. I am finding all of this out as spend painstaking hours to finally get this up knowing most your you don’t care. I need the visual guide for recapping. I’m exhausted but not done.
Jillian Parker
Age: 24
Hometown: Celebration, Fl.
Current City: Las Vegas, Nev.
Occupation: Timeshare Sales Rep
Wait? Timeshare is still a thing? Didn’t everyone already learn that lesson? She may be a superfan. She says she likes Danielle Denato or whatever the actual Evil Dick last name is. Had Lap band surgery in January and has lost a lot of weight. Already getting the beatdown online. For her sake I hope she goes early. People are mean.
Oh wait, she is asking for it. She’s a Youtube. This is before the lapband when she was 20. I blame Kim Kardashian for ruining young women.
THIS ONE COULD BE THE NEXT DANIELLE MURPHREE! If you missed that post GO NOW!
Alex Ow (recruit!)
Age: 28
Hometown: Thousand Oaks, CA
Current city: Camarillo, CA
Occupation: Eco-friendly marketing rep
Okay I am fading fast but this may be my pony. I like her. And she is lucky. The bad news is she is a total recruit and thinks she is going to fuck her way to the top. In my opinion. She did not say that. She might get along well with Jessica, the other um, yacht lover.
Cody Nickson
Age: 32
Hometown: Lake Mills, IA
Current city: Plano, TX
Occupation: Construction sales rep
– I can solve a Rubik’s cube in less than a minute
– I have never worn a suit
– I have never worn cologne
– I have never taken a selfie
– I have never been offended—not once
A surfer from Texas??? Single dad looking for a mama for his baby? Evel Dick fan? Seems like a douche with potential? But not a winner.
Matthew Clines
Age: 33
Hometown: Arlington, Va.
Current City: Arlington, Va.
Occupation: Renovation Consultant
– I’ve been naked in the Planet Hollywood Las Vegas hotel lobby
– I’m seriously the only person who really took 21 shots on their 21st birthday
Cameron Heard (Superfan!)
Age: 24
Hometown: North Aurora, IL
Current city: Woodridge, IL
Occupation: Microbiologist
Cameron Heard token nerd. I wish I had thought of that, but it’s mostly my friends (and mortal enemies) at Sucks who came up with that. I don’t mind sending you the link individually, but I spent over a decade there learning how to be the death and cancer wishing horrible person that I am and you will become one to if you go there.
Cameron is a clear front runner. Ian is his favorite. He is the second guy to say he can solve a Rubik’s cube quickly and is great at chess. I hope to see the showdowns between these two. I am a HUGE Cameron fan for now.
Megan Lowder
Age: 28
Hometown:Cathedral City, CA
Current city: Phoenix, AZ
Occupation: Dog walker
The entire Harry Potter series, so I would have something awesome to read when we have way too much down time
My laptop, so I can play Minecraft

It took me a while to figure out who I missed as my number 16… It was Elena!
Elena Davies
Age: 26
Hometown: Fort Worth, TX
Current city: Dallas, TX
Occupation: Radio personality
– My dad brought a Longhorn steer into my dorm room
– I took a spontaneous trip to Colorado to a music festival by myself
– I swam with dolphins
– I got a breast reduction
Okay I know BB makes people dye their hair, but Elena is the third gray haired person on the show. I want a gray haired alliance!
Okay, this post literally took me four plus hours to finish. I did it on my staycation. Because I know most of my readers don’t care. But all I care about this summer is Big Brother. Everything else is work that disrupts how much I love Big Brother. So here we go, the few the proud the Big Brother fans.
I CAN’T WAIT!
If there are any newbies out there, the show premieres on Wednesday on CBS and will run on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday nights all summer. For maximum enjoyment, sign up for the CBS live feeds. I’ve been commenting on this since BB 13 here. Just put Big Brother into my search box.
This is literally my favorite thing ever and if y’all don’t watch with me, I will spend a lot of time other places commenting there. I will also be on the live feeds as Tamara Tattles in some form a lot of folks there last season started rooms trying to be me. I am not making this up. lol See you there.
There are several um, professional er,,, hostesses, three grey haired ones, quite a few extreme weight loss people, and several nerds. I feel like there are four teams, the old fucks, the paid for sex ALLEGEDLY fucks, the former fat fucks, and the smart as fucks.
So there is that.
EDITED FOR THE RETARDS
TEAM OLD AS FUCK
TEAM SMART AS FUCK
TEAM I WANNA FUCK
TEAM FORMERLY FAT AS FUCK
You know what, I am going to let you figure that all out. Seems pretty simple to me.
I can’t wait, it finally feels like summer when big brother comes back. I think I’m finally going to do the live feeds this year because of you. Thanks for doing the work on your staycation, I appreciate it!
You should have an affiliate link for the feed signup so you can get some credit. I can’t wait for #BB19! I hope the additional casting rumors floating around aren’t true…
Thanks for all the info on the houseguests, Tamara. I’m more excited for this season because there seems to a better selection and more older people, which hopefully will keep the show interesting. The live feeds are extremely addictive. It’s an entirely different show when you watch the feeds. I can’t wait!
Love the Team Names! Can’t wait, hope it’s a good season.
OMG Matthew is DADDY.
But don’t think you’re the only person to take 21 shots of an evening. Come speak to me, a Scottish Brit with Irish heritage.
Would still bone tho’.
Absolutely. Gray just works for some people, and he’s one of them.
*swoon*
Ugh, do we really need another Cody on this show???
FINALLY!!!!
I hurt my stomach laughing at your team names!!! I need to figure out how to watch this season, lol.
RE: Megan. If her faves are Frank, Victor and Paul, she’s only seen S18 and therefore IS a recruit. Because an actual fan wouldn’t choose those three.
What a… diverse cast? :S
YES!!! So excited.
I think the girls’ hair is that trendy silver/purple/grey I don’t get it. I think it looks awful but that’s what I think is going on.
Seems like that’s the case. I don’t think that look has ever worked for a single woman in history, but they sure do keep trying.
Lol, that is so true ?
Christmas and Matthew look like they will go far.
You won me over, I’m watching! I stopped watching because of the cliff hangers and emotional rollercoaster and many, many commercial interruptions, but I will once again watch because of you! #TeamSmartAsFuck but if I had to go where I belong #TeamOldAsFuck
What quack of a doctor gave lap band surgery to that girl? She needed to lose may be 50 pounds max. Makes me sick. I hope she doesn’t suffer life-long issues from it. In sure it will be an issue in the house with the weird diet they can be on. Another summer of BB! Can hardly wait. So glad my fav, TT, is also a fan!
Hurrah,time for Big Brother ! I have actually watched from the beginning, missed a couple of years because I worked the evening shift. My gildfriend kept me up to date as best she could during those years however. I watch the after hours show each night but have not watched the feeds ( not enough time) . My favorite male Big Brother player is Dr.Will followed closely by Dan G. My female is Janelle P. And I am a Rachel fan, she is so entertaining and came up with so many catch phrases. Grab a life vest floaters because summer is here and so is Big Brother !
I love Big Brother but what is with this awful “hamsters” thing? Is the show trying to force that term? Gross.
ROFLMAO. Hamsters have been a thing since since one.
I know they’ve had them forever in the house, but somehow I’ve been lucky enough to manage to never hear the houseguests referred to as “hamsters” until now.
Yaaaaayyy!!! So excited my favorite show is here. Oh, I think that was Donny & Jacosta you were talking about. Booooring as fuck should’ve been the team she was on.
Yes, Jacosta! I hope Domique is less Jacosta and more Point Blank and the Period. I literally cannot remember anyone’s name from last season despite the fact that I spent hours and hours a day, OH DAY DAYVONNE!!!
I swear I have early onset dementia.
Jacosta of the bowties!
I legit HATE when they do the teams
I should quite LIKE to be a Yacht Girl, I think.
I mean apparently half the time they don’t even have to bone the old billionaires, and when they do it lasts for five minutes and you get $50000 either way.
And then the rest of the time you’re just luxuriating on yachts on the Riviera, being beautiful and having your every whim catered to?
With my limited grasp of morals and/or dignity I could handle this VERY easily.
Go to Cannes, come back several hundred thousand pounds richer with some Cartier jewels. QUELLE HORREUR!
Not. ?
Hi Im Kate and Im a BB addict (in the worst way). TT I’m there with you all summer indulging in all things BB. I just left the house under the pretense of “walking the dog” but really just needed to get some quiet time to read your post. The things we lie about and do just for fix. P.S your hard work and time spent is very very much appreciate it
Thank you for the Danielle post I had never seen til now (I’m sad I wasn’t a reader then!) I was rolling! I miss her delusion! Thank you for linking it!
Thanks.It’s one of my favorites. If you drop Caleb’s name in the search box, there is a similar one for him on here somewhere. 🙂
Checking it out now! Thanks TT!
This is the most people from my state (Va) at one time on any of these shows that I’ve noticed. I’m so excited to see how they do.
Ohhhhh, I’VE been waiting alright! This show is the WHOLE ENTIRE REASON for SUMMER!
I swear I’ve been watching this for 18 years! Wow, I’m old. And my favorite hamster is and will always be, Chicken George! Entertaining and kind-hearted! He’s the yin to Dr. Will’s yang!
Janelle is awesome and loves her fans… I’d really love to be misted while laying out from Dan though!!
I’ve only been watching BB since BB15 (I loved Amanda), but I am, hooked on the show thanks to the Lived Feeds. This years group of HG’s looks like a bunch of 2nd stringers, perhaps they were rejects from another season. Here’s hoping they give us a ton of entertainment. My favs going in are: Jessica, Mark and Ramses. .
I didn’t watch last season’s BB. It was the first season I didn’t watch at all, and I’ve been watching since Season 2. That being said, I LOVED your introduction. I’ll read a few of your posts and decided if I wanna watch or not. Regardless, I’ll probably read ALL of your posts, because they’re just so good.
Pretty accurate assessment in terms of the 4 teams. LOL Ramses, Matthew and Christmas seem like my top 3 favorites. Cody too.
p.s. As a former Sucks poster, I can assure you your assessment of the people there is spot on. haha
