Yes! It's finally here -- a new season of Big Brother! As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll update this entry with major happenings. My full review of the show will be posted over on TV Squad at a later time. The real fun of this all is the comments area. Everyone is invited to jump in with your thoughts as the show airs or afterward. Remember, it's okay to trash the hamsters on the show, but please treat others here in the community with respect. Not everyone is going to have the same favorites or see the same things on the show. That's part of the entertainment!
The community here is second to none. I haven't heard yet from Margo on a blog pool. Unfortunately, I'm going to have a lot on my plate for the next few months and don't dare extend myself. But if someone wants to take it on, it's relatively simple. Blog commenters ask to be in the pool, their names are shuffled and hamsters are drawn, and they cheer on that hamster as long as they're in the house. As the hamsters are eliminated, the pool results are posted with the show entry. We don't really offer any prizes, but there are those bragging rights!
The show's about to start here on the East Coast. Get your snacks and drinks and let's watch us some new hamsters!
Whoa ... over 15 minutes before the first commercial break. So far, we had intros and they're in the house. Julie told them there's a saboteur. Hmmm ... I don't know. Lane is quietly suspicious, but I think he's quiet and perhaps not all that bright anyway. I know. That was mean, but he said he's not smart first!
HOH has them riding slippery huge hot dogs across a giant grill. If they fall, do over, teams of two. Britney hurt her knee, commercial.
Hayden won HOH, Money won MoneY - 10 grand.
The saboteur turned off the lights, then locked the storage room so everyone has to eat slop.

Hello to all
Add me to pool blog if you guys start one.
Thanks Jackie
Hello everyone!! Happy Summer, and Happy Big Brother, can't wait, and glad to be back!
<----- Not sure if I'll like him or not, but for now he is my Eye-Candy for the season.
I have a huge pitcher of strawberry Sangria, and all are welcome.
Splash!
Hey, Jackie and everyone! Long time, no see. If there is a pool, I wanna swim.
Holy Cow. big boob/chemist girl, are those the biggest in the BB house yet???!
Hi Everybody... we're back! YAY!
Hi all. It has finally started!
Jackie, if Margo isn't doing a pool, I can take a hot at it.
NOOOO!!! The Dustin shirt is back!!!
Here we go all...
Pool also when one forms!
I could do without the Dustin gray V-neck myself.
Hmmm, initial impressions... I think the bi-sexual gal is one to watch. She seems smart and already on to some of the HGs.
Hi everyone. Let the games begin!
Add me to the pool, Lisanne. Thanks for taking that rsponsibility! Hope Margo is okay.
Lisanne - I know Margo has some problems with her mother being ill. If you want, go for it. I can create a post later asking people who want to be in the pool to speak up so you can gather names.
Sliding in with sliders, chips and guacamole ... all locally grown, of course!
Cheers, everyone!
Julie looks good.
wahoo! I am thrilled its back! Im watching them introduce themselves....cannot wait for the drama!
I think Julie looks very, um... matronly tonight. What's up with that? She's usually sparkly on opening night.
I'm surprised they're being told about the saboteur. Hmmmmmm.
Monty--Thanks for the info on the other comments.
ok... THE bOOby and heh, heh, girl can go. She's going to lose me just by her laugh after each sentence.
There are some nice looking hunks in there, and I also like Enzo for the moment.
I loved the saboteur video they showed. Its funny! I hope we get to mess with them again. :)
I still think the saboteur is Lane, but Kristin has a guilty look on her face...
Booby girl needs to go, I like Annie, and she could have a good game, but do we need to hear in every DR she's bi?
You're welcome, JimmyB. I love your Moe Avitar! :)
Terry you can actually watch it in real time!
1st Comp!
Okay Rachel can go now! She is so irritating!
Thanks Jackie, I'll will also grab all the sign-ups out of this post later on. So far:
Lars
Becky
Delee
Sally
Kristen looks like/reminds me of Monica Seles!
I think revealing there is a saboteur is pretty ingenious. They will be so paranoid that they will be skittish the entire time. Wish Tex had said more. Did I just think it or did he actually turn red when they were discussing it. At this time I would not be sorry to see Rachel, Ms. Vegas, go. I don't think Enzo doesn't care for the Weiner.
Me too, Lisanne. thanks!
I like Brendan for the win....unless people take him out for being logical!
I was just thiking that I don't like Britney very much...then she gets hurt, so now I feel like I can't dislike her.
Lissanne, count me in, too.
Lisanne--add me!
So far only one has totally annoyed me. Rachel, Ms. Boobs Galore.
That podiatrist is getting on my nerves already. Just a little tho.
A male hamster will have to HoH, because the women can't hold onto that thing. :( Actually, I wouldn't want to be the first HoH. It didn't do Kale (?) any favors, but then again she didn't do herself any either.
Lisanne - Thank you for doing the pool! Of course, you can throw me in. The heat wave has been way too much this week!
Add me to the pool too. This game for HOH is brutal. How long do they have before it's over. The last one to successfully get on the other side is the HOH, Julie said. Do they all have to get over or is there a time limit and then the last one who made it is HOH.
See. questions already!
"I lost my dignity on a slippery weiner".
A great line for BB history.
Hi all ! count me in the pool too Lisanne
Rachel is going to annoy me if she stays
--------------->
First HOH, it could be a curse! ;)
Anyone else think Annie is getting excessive diary room clips?
Kathy doesn't seem to be in great shape for being a cop.
oooooo Monty are you psychic over there?!
Jackie, That heat wave you're having sounds miserable! Hope the a/c is working well for you and Vincent.
It's frustrating not to know the houseguests yet. I'm having great trouble matching names with faces and jobs, etc. I know one thing for sure: there are a couple of nice looking young men in the house.
Meb, first team to get all across wins and last one over is HOH. Play till done, no time limit. Anyone else feel it was rigged for a guy to be HOH? I do not see a girl would stand a chance to be alone to get on it!
Lisanne, count me in, although I jumped floats when I got natalie last year.
Sally, it is brutal 90's and warm at night. This is not usual. We are hotter than Florida!

****************
Nah, he just fell for the "give the dummy the first HoH", big time. I would have said, "No, you take it", LOL
No favorites yet. Why couldn't the yellow team do the same thing as the red team and have the girl jump up and grab the top straps to get across. Was that the sheriff on the yellow team who kept falling off. Sheriff/saboteur??? Actually I think it's either the gay guy or the genius...
Hello everyone!!!
Is it just me or is anyone else already tired of the redhead! LOL
Ok the Saboteur needs a new name
Joe, noone likes her
that "genius" may be "smart" but he's an ignoramus. Anyone who has to spend all his time telling you how smart he is is more insecure than smart.
My favorite so far is the bisexual (Annie?)
The redhead and Enzo totally annoy me (hate Jersey posers!). Kind of like this week's HOH also, he seems like a nice, kind of shy guy.
Does anyone know how long they've actually been in the house already? I mean they were running Facebook Saboteur promos for a couple weeks so they must have already been sequestered...no?
And am I a cynic or do I think they were all just faking the key thing? After all, what did they think the camera crew was for?
I hate that they went back to the Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday schedule. I liked it better on Tuesdays. Ugh!! My first complaint on the season, LOL
Dirtbag sounds good for the saboteur!
I may have to go see my doctor. There must be something wrong with me. I seem to be in agreement with monty and meb... :)
Howdy - late as always.
Sue on the Left Coast
Joe - I believe they entered the house either last Thursday or Friday.
Anyone else think it was kind of 1984-ish for Brendon to assume that it was bedtime because BB turned the lights out?
Joe in NY,
Hey, good to see you back. They reportedly went into the house on Saturday, 7/3/10.
Looking forward to a full and fun season of BB with all of y'all.
I know they changed the name, but how different is the Saboteur from "America's Player". Maybe they'll give him/her some more nefarious deeds to perform but it's mostly the same gimmick isn't it?
I'm so excited that it started. I've been so bored with just work, work, work. I needed me some BB for amusement.

What, what, WHAT? LOL
Put me in the pool too Lisanne! I would have volunteered to help but I'm going on a little staycation in a week
SueGee
Joe~ They've been in the house since last Saturday the 3rd.
Deelee~ ROFLMAO, that's a good one. I was thinking pooper or something of that extent because you know BB has to use french words for some odd reason for every twist.
Thanks Jackie and Monty, do they sequester them before that. because I've been seeing those saboteur things on Facebook for more than a week and, I think, almost 2 weeks.
Pool so far:

In order to get the pool up before the next show (Sunday night), I'll take names up through Sunday morning.
Just checking to see if I actually changed my posting name via google from my teacher name to the name I use with adults...
In the meantime, I think Brendan is my favorite this year, but no one to hate yet. How can that be?
Ok, SueGee, I've got you as well.
I am kinda on vacation as well, after all that's what us grad students (the new name for college professors you know) do over the summer.
Joe - They're usually sequestered a week to ten days before going into the house. The saboteur stuff didn't get released before they were in sequester.
And why did the young blonde chick do the cheerleader woohoo when she got knocked out of the HOH game.. that was a bit dumb or did noone catch it?
I just checked BB's facebook page. 1st mention of the Saboteur was on 6/29. Hmmm....???
Oh No! Joe in NY in agreement with little ole me... Actually, didn't I say I sort of liked Enzo, for now anyway. But definitely in agreement about the redhead... she is totally annoying.
It's interesting that most of the the educated people with careers feel they have to lie about their real lives so they're not viewed as threats by the other houseguests. Then they feel the need to repetedly remind the home viewers about how intelligent they really are.
Lisanne, I work at a big University and all the new grad students are arriving and they are a pita
Now who has found a way to watch real time from the West Coast??
SueGee
lisanne add me to the pool please
welcome back big brother fanatics.
I don't think nayone hwo got any diary room time is the saboteur, so that eliminates at least 7
Kristen is my hubbies bet
I think maybe Lane
but kristen did look guilty
Awww, that brings back memories of my Pigpen avi. I can't wait to check out the new chops over at SS. It's a crime to have to wait an entire year for a new season of BB. :)
Don't forget to head over to
http://survivorsucks.yuku.com/topic/71680/t/BB12-OFFICIAL-Photochop-Thread.html for the BB12 Photochop thread.
They have Andrew over there going into the house and some of them are pretty funny.
Thanks Jackie, that makes sense. I wasn't suggesting anything suspicious but I had just surmised that they must have been in sequester for a while already and wanted some verification.
Plaidchick, I agree with you, I wondered about the blonde's celebration myself. I think I understood it to be relief that she didn't have to keep jumping on the weiner (women hate that if it goes on too long :) but it did seem a little untoward to be celebrating before she knew what the "penalty" was...unless they edited it out of sequence. Seems like it could have hurt her team and celebrating seemed premature.
Monty-- stop it, you psychic!!!
Hey Meb, at least we don't totally agree! LOL
Frankly, a lot of these boys and girls seem a little "vanilla". In more ways than one. Where's the tatooed biker guy, the old man, the old woman...you know what I mean? People with interesting backstories. Say what you want about annoying HGs of the past (Jesse, Janelle, etc.) but at least they were interesting. These guys seem awfully cookie-cutter (although I may be judging them too early). And we have no Asians, no Latinos, one token black girl, one token gay guy and like 8 people that are less than 5 years removed from the HS Pep Squad.
Well, I guess I will have to watch it in 2 hours and then I can go straight to Showtime!

Sally, I agree with you. Sad commentary on American society: we always vote against people of achievement. LOL
Lisanne, several people requested getting in the pool in the last BB post Jackie wrote up.
I got kicked out of the party and couldn't get back in until I deleted all the cookies.
I kind of think Brent?? is the BBS. But Lane looks guilty.
I have a suggestion -- last one in the pool gets Boob Job. (Can you tell I am trying my best not to get her?)
Lisanne please count me in the pool and thanks!
Ditto on the annoying thing(s) about Rachel. No one so far that I immediately dislike. I do like Hayden. He is adorably cute. At least we'll have him to watch as HOH. Better than Rachel, huh?
ML
LOL Becky. I'll take boob job. Since everyone hates her she'll probably make the final four!
Jimmy B, "I lost my dignity on a slippery weiner" is the best line in BB history! Still chuckling ;-)

OMG, I've laughed out loud reading the last several comments. Its good to be back to a BB summer with all of you. After the day I had yesterday and my AC going out this week, you have no idea. Its 93 here and feels like 103.
See you all later... I need to check out other BB happenings. :)
Okay, after 4 years I decided to become legit. I have a Google account. Count me in the pool.
SSW
Lisanne,
Please add me to the Pool....
Now can someone tell me what the pool is? I want to play whatever it is!!
I am so happy about BB12!
Anyone think Britney resembles Britney Murphy??
Janice/GA
I think the petitie blonde with dimples (fell off the weiner) looks like a young Dolly Parton.
Watch the "Dark" scene several times and the Sheriff girl was missing for several frames from her seat on the couch. I am thinking she is the saboteur.
What do you think?t
Sheriff girl could be the one....
I think Matt is the saboteur he has a high IQ and probally can talk his way out of being a target...thats my guess...have the live feeds started yet? I don't see anything posted on jokers yet?
Julie said they picked someone smart and that could keep their mouth shut. Sheriff girl could be it. :)
Lisanne,
Please add me to the pool!
Thanks
I have not sunk to watching BB frame by frame yet....so I didn't see her leave the couch, but I already thought Sheriff girl may be the one only because of all her different dramatic reactions to the saboteur news. It seemed staged. Andrew may also be the one. Perhaps his experiment with Judaism and the BB house can only last up to five weeks.
I think it's funny how some already have acted as though they're in teams now based on the HOH competition. Red and yellow are not and should not be sides in the house yet.
I want to see who Hayden brings in the HOH with him to sleep. Feed watchers spill it.
ML
Hello friends,
Please add me to the pool! This is my first year and I'm excited to be with you all.
OK, it's finally on here on the west coast! YAHOO!!
Howdy to all you BB fans, and thanks to Jackie for giving us a great place to hang out.
It's hot here, so please throw me in the pool as soon as it's set up.

I have a connection of sorts to Monet and she left St Louis in secrecy 2 weeks ago to be sequestered for the show. fyi
Margo
HOW THE HECK did I miss the par-tay? I haven't read a think. Hi to everyone. Thank you to Margo for putting me in the pool and thank you to Lisanne for being our monitor this season.
Guess I'll have to watch online -- it's not good to miss the very first impressions.....
I'm already behind! Between the show being 3 hours ahead of me, and my daughter calling and making me pause the show, everyone will already be in bed by time I finish watching! :(
First impressions, I want to like Kathy, the sheriff, but the jury's still out on her. The gal from Vegas is getting on my nerves with her laugh.
On a positive note, I like Britney. She reminds me a bit of Jordan. I also like the gay guy.
What the bi gal (Julie??) said about the saboteur makes sense. I get suspicious of the loudest protester too.
I would luv to be added to the pool if it's not too late.
I think right now my favorite is Annie. She should be a detective. I kind if liked Britney as well. In the mens side I like the swim coach(Brendon?) and (hoh) haydon? Can't think of the names for the yummy men yet
OMG! That comp is brutal! I hope Brit's OK.
BBAD just started here in the cemtral time zone
Hi All!
If it isn't too late, please add me to the pool. Thanks!
Margo - I'm fairly impressed with Monet so far on the feeds ... and not impressed with Andrew!
I didn't know you had some names collected for the pool and know that you're spending a lot of time with your Mother (and her ankle). I hope you don't mind that I let Lisanne take a shot!
i'd like to join the pool, please.
thanks so much, jackie, for keeping us updated again this season. i enjoy your comments!
Hi Everyone, so happy to be back for another season. Yipeee!
I am fairly confident that Monet is the saboteur. If I was in Vegas, I'd bet money on it. When the announce that a saboteur is in the house, the cameras never focus on Monet or her face. She crosses first to get the $10,000 which is $10,000 another houseguest WON'T be getting and that she will not be getting either since she can only walk away with the 50 grand. When the lights go out, she is NOT sitting on the couch but when the lights come back on she is on the edge in front of the table on the floor. She is smart and quiet. If I was a betting woman, my money would be on her. Mark my words.
Lisanne, slip me into the pool as well even if I am late to the party.
please put me on the pool..Thanks again Jackie for a great job.
Season looks interesting
Estelle
Lisanne,
Please add me to the pool, if it's not too late.
Thanks!
Katie in Chi
Add me to the pool (if it's not too late), Thanks!
Hi everyone! So happy to have BB back for some entertainment! I also missed part of the show on Thursday so need to watch online or something to get up to speed -
Lisanne, I would love to jump into the pool! :)
