Big Brother 7 - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace

The BB7 season is upon us and I bring you my opinion of this season's heroes and villains. Though there has only been one show so far, I've been fanatically watching the live internet feeds... And here's my opinion so far. Who's stock has soared, and who's has plummeted?

THE GOOD GUYS
Janelle- This 'buxom blonde' has proven that she's as tough as she is gorgeous winning competition after competition. Though it's not officially been spoken, she's the leader of the BB6 alliance this season and sits opposed to the evil doctor as one of the strongest players in the house.

Jase- Can a man transition from a shirtless douche bag into a likeable class clown? Jase proved that the answer is a resounding yes with his 'lay low' strategy and smart-ass quips that rival even the evil doctor's wit. Many are left wondering when the real Jase will come out... Because no one can change THAT much!

Danielle- I never thought I'd see the day when I actually hope that this master manipulator DOESN'T get evicted. She should stay because she poses no immediate threat, but also because she makes for good feeds with the way she can pull personal information out of the house guests without them realizing. Just look at the conversation she had with Kaysar as she got him to open up about women, his family and even a Yanni concert.

Kaysar- You know I couldn't do one of these lists without giving props to my boy! He's looking fine and playing his cards close this season, a good move in this ego pageant. By not intentionally stealing the spotlight, he keeps the house from viewing him as a threat and hopefully that will keep him in the game for longer than last year.


THE BAD GUYS
Mike 'Boogie'- Not only is Boogie an aging star wannabe, but he and Will believe they control the show, the live feeds, the viewers, and the network. It will be a pleasure watching BB6 burst his little ego bubble!

Dr. Will- The man who came into the game as a legend will probably leave with the reputation of D-list reality diva. Will's 'us vs the viewers' attitude grew old fast as he intentionally sabotaged the live feeds and paraded around like lord of the manor. With all the trash he talks about BB, one can't help but wonder why he signed up for another season. I half expect him to pull a Jeri Manthey and split before the show's over just as the notorious Survivor villain did at their infamous All-Star reunion show.

Dianne- We all know Alison's evil, but we weren't sure about Dianne until she joined forces with the devil herself. The worst part about Dianne is her constant transparent attempts to seem confident. How many times has she said that she isn't going to fall for Will or that she isn't jealous of Janie? Viewers are left thinking, 'that's right, keep telling yourself that and maybe someday it'll come true.' Dianne was strong on her season, but she'll leave this house looking like a pathetic groopy.

Howie- It pains me to say this, but Hurricane Howie seems to be wearing out his welcome. No matter which feed you watch, you can always hear Howie's loud repetitive jokes in the background. He follows Will around like a puppy and is too easily swayed by the line of lies the D-listers feed him. While I hope BB6 stays together, look for Howie to be the first one targeted when things get ugly.

That's it for now, but be sure to tune in to Big Brother tonight and every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday to see if you agree with my opinions and predictions.
