Blog Pool is ON! Get your names in here!


We have a volunteer to run the pool -- the same person who started it so long ago! Woohoo! Thank you, Theresa! We also might have something going on with a pool for the "mentor" twist. Stay tuned!

To get into the pool, your name MUST be submitted by noon EDT on Thursday! Be there or be square! Or something like that ...

Margo, I'm calling you and your mom M&M in the pool.

I've got everyone else here, plus Delee from Facebook.

I'll take names until Noon EST on Thursday and I'll post the pool picks before the show starts. I'm at home with a newborn so I'll try to get things updated quickly but I can't promise she won't demand my attention :-)

I'm not in the Pool, per se, but Big Brother recycles its characters year after year and thus here are my predictions of how each guest will play.

MARK MY WORDS:

Will: Unlike most of the gay men on this show, Will won't just immediately flock to the girls. It looks like he may be able to get the guys of the house to think he's cool enough want to keep. This will REALLY get him far. He may take the cake.

Frank (i.e. Dan, Eric): He'd be smart to position himself as one of the alpha males even though I think his strategy will be to also secretly play for himself, playing all sides of the house if he has to. THE BEST WAY TO PLAY. He'll go far if he doesn't get caught in his sneaky game play.

Shane (i.e. Brendon): Alpha male. He'll quickly form an alliance with the guys and then secure a showmance with a girl. He'll get pretty far with that.

Kara: America's newest sweetheart. The guys'll like her, the girls will like her, america will like her. She's going far. We could possibly see a Shane/Kara connection.

Ian (Ronny, Adam, Dan): The alpha males will surely band together and Ian will be their Omega. They'll drag him along as far as they can until they have to cut him loose. He'll get too comfortable with this and won't grow much into a competitive player. He'll also play both sides of the house once it divides but no one will care much. He'll be (appropriately) seen as a non-threat.

JoJo: One of the firsts eliminated. Not much to say. That East Coast shtick is all she's got and that's just annoying.

Danielle: Also one of the firsts to go. Just a pretty face. little personality.

Ashley (i.e. Britney): She's our bitch. That is sure to screw up her game. Not sure how long she can stay in the house, but definitely not for long.

Joe: This season's Enzo. He's the life of the party back at home and thinks he'll also be that in the house. Too bad we all know that no matter how likable you are, a strictly social game will only get you so far. He'll be in the male aliance once it forms. He's coming in relying on all the wrong things: his personality, bravado and cooking skills. That'll only get him so far.

Jenn: There is simply no one for her to align with. BB is a game of pack rats and weasels-- lone wolves stand out too much. She'll get eaten alive. But she'll definitely make for some entertaining fights...if she makes it long enough.

Willie: Alpha male. Need not say more. He'll go pretty far. I'd love to see how he and Will get along. Oil and water there.

Jodi (ie Danielle): For some reason the black women in this game always go pretty far (it's true!). But Jodi is also this year's obligatory older female who usually don't make it very far at all. She seems wise and calm, but this will not get her in a strong alliance with anyone. Like Jenn, she'll be on her own, which is not good. Her strategy is to be the motherly figure but that NEVER works...these are adults here.

I hear Janelle, Mike Boogie, Britney and Dan are rumored to be the experts....YAWN
WHERE'S KAYSAR???

Ayana said...

I'm not sure if your comment means you want in or not Critical Media. What exactly does "I'm not in the Pool, per se" mean? Should I add you?

cha cha said...

saw on jokers a screen cap from buddy tv that there was an accidental slip and the feeds showed through last night.
apparently it is true, Janelle, Britney, Dan and Boogie are the four mentors...
The only redeeming thing about boogie is if he does DR sessions with someone that are funny like the ones that he and will used to do.

critical_media said...

My sources were correct, then. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm so over Boogie, but I love Janelle. Dick

critical_media said...

Dick would have been another good choice.

Jessica said...

Add me Please!!!!

Jackie S. said...

ORKMommy - When you get the picks all sorted out, zap me an email at jackiestvblog@gmail.com and I'll get a post up.

Petals -- the "mentors" aren't eligible for the regular season prize and we're not sure what they're prize might be, nor do we have official confirmation pre-show as to who will be returning (although I think it will be Janelle, Boogie, Britney and Dan), so this pool is for the regular cast only, not the returning folks.

Jackie S. said...

Duh! THEIR, not they're.

Jackie: An email awaits in your Inbox!

I got everyone including the names from Margo. Jackie has the list and should be posting the teams sometime before the show starts. Good luck everyone!!
