Hercules Wonders If The Surprise Contestant Crossing Over Into Tonight’s BIG BROTHER Isn't A SURVIVOR!!
I am – Hercules!!
I got this crazy idea in my head that “Survivor” vet Richard Hatch is going to compete on “Big Brother” this summer.
CBS.com has revealed 12 contestants for its latest edition of “Big Brother,” launching tonight, but leaves only a box full of question marks for the show’s mysterious 13th cast member. It’s said to be someone we’ll recognize.
Entertainment Weekly suggests they’re bringing back an old BB cast member, and there are rumors afoot that former BB cast members are missing from their jobs. But that doesn’t seem too spectacular an idea; we’ve already had a whole all-star season of returnees.
I’m thinking they’ve maybe grabbed Hatch, who finally got out of stir May 14 following a tax-evasion conviction. Hatch was the first winner of “Survivor,” CBS’ top-rated reality show for nine years now.
Having said this, I also wonder if producers haven’t recruited into The House a celeb who has nothing to do with reality shows. “Celebrity” editions of “Big Brother” (crammed solid with contestants Americans never heard of) have long been mammoth draws in the United Kingdom; maybe BB producers have finally decided to give American audiences a taste?
Because of the secrecy, Number 13 will have to be more famous than former Penthouse Pet Sheila Kennedy, who got pretty far in “Big Brother” a couple of seasons ago. More famous also than gaming champ Ken Hoang or Olympic gold medalist Crystal Cox or Grammy nominee Taj Johnson-George, all of whom competed on “Survivor” recently. More famous than former NFL safety Ken Greene or filmmaker-actor Mike White, both of whom appeared on recent editions of “The Amazing Race.”
The surprise houseguest probably couldn’t be too employable. It can’t be somebody like “Big Brother” fanatic Neil Patrick Harris, because Harris can’t take three months off from his big-deal network sitcom. (Though Harris did sneak into the Big Brother house for a few hours during the All-Star season.) It can’t be Justin Timberlake, because he might have to suit up to play Green Lantern. (Though I could envision seeing JC Chasez, Lance Bass, or Chris Kirkpatrick finding a summer-long hole in his schedule.)
I’d guess the 13th cast member would have to be at least “Celebrity Apprentice” or “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here” or “Celebrity Rehab” famous. More famous than C.C. DeVille but not as famous perhaps as Sherman Hemsley. More famous than Steven Adler but not as famous perhaps as Gary Busey.
Or maybe it’ll be somebody really nuts, like Kanye West or Mike Tyson?
The 12 contestants already revealed will be divided into three groups: roughly the cool kids, the jocks and the nerds. I’m guessing the two teachers and the neuroscientist and maybe the gay graphic designer fall into the last group.
As is typical, half the known contestants hail from California, and two-thirds are twentysomethings:
Laura Crosby, 21, bikini model, Atlanta
Jordan Lloyd, 22, waitress, Matthews, N.C.
Russell Kairouz, 24, fighter, Walnut Creek, Calif.
Natalie Martinez, 24, store manager, Gilbert, Ariz.
Lydia Tavera, 24, makeup artist, Torrance, Calif.
Michelle Noonan, 27, neuroscientist, Pasadena, Calif.
Braden Bacha, 28, model-actor, Santa Monica, Calif.
Kevin Campbell, 29, graphic designer, Chula Vista, Calif.
Ronnie Talbott, 30, teacher, Belpre, Ohio.
Jeff Schroeder, 31, advertising salesman, Norridge, Ill.
Chima Simone, 32, journalist, West Hollywood, Calif.
Casey Turner, 41, teacher, St. Petersburg, Fla.
Sadly, CBS doesn’t provide any “Survivor”-type bikini shots, but you can see what 12 of the contestants look like with their clothes on here.
As always, talkbackers who claim to have never followed a reality show are trying to make people forget that time mom caught them masturbating to “Breaking Bonaduce.”

Best Reality Show ON TV!!!

Who ever it is, they'll be voted out first.
-
Lost Survivor twice, lost Amazing Race twice, loses fortunes. I'd love to see him lose on BB and I'm sure Ambuh would love to get him out of her house.
-
Bring on the feeds, bitches!
-
but I love the idea of Hatch
-
All hot babes competing in events. Possible cat fights. Lesbian activity. Shit, it would be great.
-
I'd sign that petition
-
where they just seems to let people come and go and make up the rules as they went along and got a bunch of contestants that could not give two shits ---- it made me appreciate Big Brother so much more. Thank god it's finally back and baking bikini girls in the hot Los Angeles sun.
-
Without scripts to work from the 'celebs' on the celeb reality shows turn out to have a lot less personality than the maniacs BB attracts. Looking forward to the season.
BRING ON THE FEEDS!!!!!!!! -
Popular, Jocks, Brains, and Off-beat (or Outsiders). On Ferguson's show, the name Janeane Garofalo came up but as a description of what "Off-beat" was. Or was there another reason?
-
I'm not sure there's an ex-BB contestant I want back. Maybe Howie.
-
I concur. WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
-
Fuck you NCIS. Blow me Ghost Whisperer. Kiss my fat black ass Cold Case. Welcome to the REAL prime time.
-
don't let it be Mike Boogie.

The only show on CBS that doesn't feature a rotting corpse
by lockesbrokenleg
as a plot point.
-
That guy was the greatest, and I'm not feeling him acting all grown up on that shitty plastic surgery show.
-
Parvati Shallow, baby, that's where the eyeball are. Watching her cavort half-naked with Amanda Kimmel in fans vs. faves was spank-worthy.
-
seem like non-starters since they've already been on the show twice. I don't see anyone from the all-star season returning tonight.
-
Or Eliza Orlins or Sugar Kiper. Those girls were pissers.
-
too bad she's a lesbian
-
I could do with three months of her showering on Showtime Two.
-
What a stupid fuck. Ambuh must have wised up by now.
-
If you read any BB blog you know that there are four groups, who is in them and who is most likely the mystery guest. It is a former BB alum and he is very annoying. From what's been said there will be four former HGs and they will compete each week with their team and give them the advantage. What is not known yet is if they will stay in the house or cycle through each week with a different alum. If you want to know all just go to bbdish dot blogspot dot com one of the best site IMHO for all things BB. Tell em MichiganMan sent ya. Bring on the feeds.
-
she's not doing anything.
-
Totally agree. She one sexy little bean pole. She looked like she needed a healthy dose of protein to get healthy, and I'm just the guy to give it to her if you know what I mean. And what I mean is that I would like her to perform oral sex on me to completion.
-
make the feeds go
-
Lisa something? I wouldn't mind seeing how she's holding up.
-
uncut, no blurs, raw footage.
-
ARRRGGG!!
-
reeks of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here bullshit.
-
just a lot of showering and changing into different swimsuits.
-
Bring on COACH! And I'm not talking about Ditka... MORE COACH!!!!!

Would an all-hot all-lesbian show be out of the question??

Hey herc, Attack of the Show has its 1,000 episode tonight
by lockesbrokenleg
Any talkback?
-
That fellow would get old REAL fast without a ton of editing; editing the feeds cannot provide.
-
Yeah!
-
Not that I am complaining.
-
One of the new house guests Lydia is bi so maybe we'll get something this year. I know every CBS reality game show has to have a gay male or two but how about equal time. There has been one lesbian on BB and that was a long time ago. I want some girl/girl dammit.
-
Not just one.
-
This site having a Big Brother talkback?
Or the fact that I'm only watching if Dr Will or Mike Boogie is the suprise contestant? -
Body builder Jesse.
-
Jesse from Big Brother 10 will be returning.
Brian Hart from BB10
Jessica BB8
Cowboy BB5
& Jessie BB10 all competed to get back into the house.
The past HGs played the HOH with the new 12 HGs. Each past HGs were put into their cliques. Jessie "Jock", Jessica "Popular", Brian "Brianiac" & Cowboy "Off Beat".
Whichever team won the HOH, the past HG attached to that team not only became the solo HOH, but entered the house as well to compete for the year. -
OK... seeing that the "oldest" contestant is 41... which isn't old.... and the next oldest is 32 which is still very young... really pisses me of. Yeah... I guess they figure people want to see the young and pretties... well, I for one get tired of the same young and pretty faces on BB (other reality TV shows aren't that bad about it....). I used to enjoy BB when they had INTERESTING people on there (and some of the most interesting ones actually were in their 30ies and 40ies!!! So why not put more of that kind in there...like Dr. Will or Evil Dick...) Now it's all these model and actor wannabes with no life experience at all... barf... BORING! The only thing that could make that show even worse now is if the surprise guest is somebody from The Hills.....
-
Brian would have been a better choice though. Oh well. Cowboy just can't get back in the house. Was dissed on the steps during All-Stars.
-
any respect, from well, anyone.
-
shower together? The Blur Guy was working overtime that day! I wonder how many people have a copy of that raw footage.

A Survivor wouldn't subject hinself to this bull shit
by lockesbrokenleg
-
wow, cant believe this turd of a show is still on....survivor is the best reality show, hands down..plus u know big brother jumped the shark when it started stealing survivor-esque things from survivor...big brother is such a bad name for the show anyways...especially if the people on the show always know where the cameras are ...lame....
-
At least that helps watching. Don't need to see her climbing all over the pretty boys. But good lord what a rack!!!

by the dark shite
British people haven't heard of either.
-

"crammed solid with contestants Americans never heard of"
by neandercarl
Brigitte Nielsen, Jackie Stallone, Dennis Rodman, Traci Bingham, Dirk Benedict, Jermaine Jackson, Coolio, LaToya Jackson, Verne Troyer... okay, not a "who's who" but I'd imagine a lot of Americans have heard of them.
-
Here we are in the 21st century, trying to finally move foward in the realm of morality and unity and BB decides to just throw every fucking stereotype in the book at you... and thats before they named the groups. WTF!?!?!? Jocks, Brains, Popular, and..Offbeat... they should've just went the whole nine yards and said Losers. Just cancel this season and rerun the entire series of "Freaks and Geeks" at least that show had more respect for the people it portrayed.
-
"He hate me" is more famous than Gary Hogeboom
-
there are a couple of sluts this season. Yay!! One (the cute blonde)even gave us a shot of the cameltoe. Nice!
The other was trying to sleep with the muscle heads. She had Jesse hard and told him he needed to go take a cold shower. She offered to sleep with both of them. This might be a fun season after all. -
...kinda blows. At least it did when I made the time to watch it a couple of years ago. They tell the houseguests when the After Dark feed is and so, in the past, they've been extra careful during those times not to show anything.
-
I don't know how long I can tolerate that fucking dipshit Jesse.
Fine, he has muscles, but I don't need to see you posing every 5 seconds. On top of that he thinks he's hilarious and he likes to think he's intelligent by using big words in every sentence, except he uses the wrong words or their meaning every time. Prick !
His arms look like they've been blown up by a bicycle pump and his head looks tiny.
If anything he looks disproportionate and kind of weird... -
The two ' house hotties ' this year are an odd couple.
The little Blonde who speaks in that pathetic ' baby voice' that many ' hot blondes' think is cool, speaks out of the corner of her mouth, like she's had a friggin stroke or something.
The dark-haired token big boobed bikini babe , has so many teeth crammed into her head she looks like an alligator that has swallowed someone elses dentures.
