Big Brother: BB24 Cast Hamsters Part 1

 Okay, they're finally revealed, those pesky new hamsters. They are all new -- no returning players, yay! Once again, they are almost all but one quite young. I notice a 47-year-old in the mix. We'll just have to see how he fits in. I'm finding out what I can about them and letting y'all in on my finds. There is a 41-year-old woman. Will she be honest about her age? She could pass for younger. The man not so much.

So far, I'm not finding out much.

Brittany Hoopes is originally from Atlanta but currently resides in Austin, Texas. She has an LLC named Brittany Hoopes Hypnosis incorporated just in March of this year. I'm wondering if her hypnosis skills might be in use in the house. That could be very interesting! She claims to have watched every season and is a superfan.

Update: She's a competitive belly-dancer? Oh my. Parade bio link -- she talks a lot in it.

Daniel Durston is from Ontario, California but currently living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Although you certainly can't tell it from the photo here, he's an Elvis impersonator. He has a website with his Las Vegas Elvis Stuff <--- click on the link, I swear it's safe! He's actually pretty good. Here's a link to performance videos.

His Parade bio -- he also talks a lot.

Indy Santos is originally from São Paulo, Brazil but is now living in Los Angeles, California. I would venture a guess that she's probably fluent in Portuguese. But other than that, I'm not getting much on her.

Her Parade bio. She will vote with the house. Boo hiss. 

Marvin Achi is yet another hamster CBS has made a bit confusing. While he's originally from Rivers State, Nigeria, that is not where he currently lives. He lives in Houston, Texas. Interesting ... he was on Season 17 of America's Got Talent. The Wiki for that is here at this link. His talent was beaker-related, so don't get too excited. He also has a work-out related YouTube channel here at this link. Will he be a comp beast? Hmm.

Update - his Parade bio. Seems like he focuses on his physical being. Hmm.

REPLACED, WILL NOT BE ON THE SHOW

Matt "Turner" Turner apparently prefers to be called Turner. Okay. In my search I found there is a quite popular soccer player named Matt Turner. That's not him. His town is listed at North Attleborough, Massachusetts but he currently lives in New Bedford, Mass. In my search for the skinny on him, I found there are several thrift stores in New Bedford. So, if you're looking for bargains, you might want to head there.

Update: his Parade bio. He talks a lot and thinks he will be running the game. @@

Jasmine Davis is originally from Terry, Mississippi, now resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Now, IF the Jasmine Davis in Atlanta is the one I'm finding online, she owns/runs (whatever) a beauty salon business and received one of those PPP loans (20K) back in 2021. That would be understandable as those businesses did have to shut down If that's her, that is. I think it is. There is also a realtor with the same name. But I don't think of that as real entrepreneur-type job.

Update: Her Parade bio. Another house voter, gah.

More in a bit ...

Just picked up some dirt on Turner ... this is his sister, verified as he did work for Mr. Beast on YouTube -- read the whole thread of tweets by her. Oh my.

just heard that my younger brother, Matt Turner, is on Big Brother this season. FYI: this kid bullied me my entire life. in 2020, when I was jobless and homeless, staying at my parents house for lack of a better place to go, he randomly showed up when he didn't need to and

Big Brother: BB24 Blog Pool OPENS!

 

WHO WANTS TO JUMP INTO THE BLOG POOL?

What's it all about?

Our esteemed and accomplished Lifeguard SueGee (AKA SqueeGee) will randomly match up pool entrants with the hamsters in the habitrail. Once matched up with a hamster, you need to cheer that one on until they're evicted or win it all. Yeah, even if they're obnoxious. Deal with it! Of course, we won't have the cast reveal until the day before the season starts, but the pool can be opened without them! Bwahaha!

What will I win?

Well, IF you win, you'll be pleased to know there is NO CASH PRIZE! Nuh-uh. No way. That would cheapen the whole thing, don't ya think? Instead of paltry prizes, you get BRAGGING RIGHTS. Yep! From now through all eternity, YOU will be a blog pool winner here. Feel free (and I encourage it) to put your win in your sign-off signature so that everyone can oooh and ahhh. Can't you hear the crowd now?

How do I get in on this wild action?!?!

You just need to sign up in the comments of THIS POST ONLY. If you put your name in on another post or Facebook or Twitter, it might be missed. If you come here as anonymous, you must come up with some sort of name in your comment. Otherwise, we can't tell the anonymous folks apart. Well, except for the unruly ones, maybe.

When is the deadline for joining the pool?

The deadline for signing up is Friday, July 8, at NOON Pacific Time (that's 3pm ET). Don't put it off! Sign up TODAY! No stragglers!

Big Brother: BB24 STUFF

 

Yes, I do still exist. I'm still in a wheelchair these days. But I think the hospital stays are over. I apologize for my absence, but this has been a rough road. Anyway ... the show itself seems to be a bit on an odd path as well.

• It will be one of the shortest seasons, if not the shortest, at 74 days. I believe only the winter season during that writers' strike was shorter. The finale is set for September 28.
• There has been no house tour or cast reveal as of yet, four days before the show.
• The cast reveal is set for Tuesday, the day before the premiere.
• There has been no mention of a house tour.
• Julie Chen-Moonves remains the hostess.
• The schedule remains the same as previous years with the the exception of a live move-in 90-minute premiere --   Sunday 8PM ET/PT, Wednesday 8PM ET/PT, and Thursday nights 9PM ET/PT.
• The live feeds should be starting after the premiere finishes airing on the West Coast. But don't hold me to that. The Live Feeds have an announcement posted that they will begin at 12:30AM ET on July 7. Can we trust them after last year's erroneous announcements? Hmm.
• I will be doing a live-blogging blog party post for the season premiere at 8PM ET on Wednesday, July 6.
• If people want it, I can set up a discussion post for The Challenge which airs at 9:30PM ET after BB. I won't be live-blogging that show but probably will make some commentary.
• As usual, I will be covering the live feeds. Since they will start so late here on the East Coast, my first live feeds report probably won't be until Thursday morning.
• There will be a blog pool and I will set up a sign-up post specifically for it. Don't ask to get in it on this post! The actual blog pool put together (by the esteemed SueGee) will be later than usual due to the very late cast reveal.

That's all for now.

Survivor 42: April 27 Episode Blog Gathering

 I realize I've let you all down this season and I apologize. I am still a bit lost on the show having missed its first few episodes and only seeing parts of others. However, I should recover enough to handle Big Brother when it comes around.
