BB8 Cast revealed !!

'Big Brother 8' announces cast
CBS show kicks off July 5 at 8 p.m.
By VARIETY STAFFCBS is making "Big Brother 8" more interactive than past editions, plotting a twist in which one of the game's players will be controlled by the whims of the American public.
Net's annual summer sudser, which kicks off July 5 at 8 p.m., has also locked in its cast. It'll once again be a young bunch, with most of the 14 players in their 20s-- and the oldest contestant just 44.

And, in a nod to a past "Big Brother" theme in which players were surprised to find out that their ex-flames had been recruited, this year's cast will include a few pairs of players with unresolved beefs.

The biggest twist, however, is a game element called "America's Player." In a nutshell, that contestant will have the chance to win extra sums of money-- but only if they carry out certain actions mandated by viewers via internet or text message voting. Chosen player might be asked to vote somebody out of the house or something more personal, such as flirting with another player. Eye is hoping the twist will give viewers more of a stake in the outcome of the game, in the same way auds who watch "American Idol" get to shape that competition.

Theme for this year's "Brother" house is "Alice in Wonderland," with a number of eclectic touches throughout the pad (think really big beds and tiny chairs).

CBS has high hopes for this year's edition of "Brother," the Allison Grodner and Endemol USA- produced skein that has be-come a summer staple for the net. Its perf is particularly important this year since the net is launching a new fall lineup marked by some particularly ambitious, younger-skewing skeins-- some of which will no doubt be hyped endlessly during "Brother's" run.

That appeal to youth is evident in the makeup of this year's cast. Half are under the age of 25, with one player below the age of 21. Four players hail from the Los Angeles area, and there are no less than three players who work at a restaurant or bar.

And this year's contestants are:

Amber, 27
Las Vegas
Separated
Cocktail Waitress


  Carol, 21
Lawrence, Kan.
Single
Student


  Daniele, 20
Huntington Beach, Calif.

Finally the cast! Looks like a good group! I got my eyes on Daniele and Eric. (Already and it hasn't started, LOL) I guess I'm hoping for a Janelle and Will redux! LOL

Sounds pretty cool, although I will refrain from picking favorites too early on to save me from feeling upset when they get evicted week two.  XD 

The twist sounds pretty interesting, especially "America's Player," that should be fun.  Finally the all knowing audience get to have direct impact on the game instead of trying to fly banners over the house >.>  Let's just hope that "America's Player" is likable.

OMG Let me die from excitement.  Finally!  We have fresh faces going into the house. 

Already, my early favorites are Joe, Jessica, and Dick.  But it's too soon to tell for me.  I haven't seen them in game play yet.

Oh I like that tall smart, evil guy Joe :sera: All over great looking cast! Wish we could see the feeds !!!

Early Show Transcript

Information:

   "Big Brother 8" debuts a week from tonight (Thursday).. and we have your
first look at this summer's houseguests.. all vying for the half-million dollar
prize.
   It wouldn't be "Big Brother" without a special "twist" to keep the
contestants on their toes.
   And THIS season's twist literally "rivals" all the others.

Julie Chen takes a look.


So... who will be spending the summer inside the "Big Brother" house? They are
fourteen men and women from all different walks of life... locked away from the
rest of the world for more than two months with complete strangers. Or ARE
they?


Julie: So, what twist can the houseguests expect this year? 27
Allison: What's going to happen on opening night, some of the
houseguests are going to find out that they will be locked in this house with
the last person they'd ever want to see walk through that door.


Yes, some of the men and women you're about to meet are sworn enemies,
real-life rivals... but we can't tell you WHO until the "Big Brother"
premiere.

AMBER
My name is Amber, I am 27 years old. And I'm a cocktail waitress at Caesar's
Palace. I can weasel my way with anybody. It doesn't matter. People just tend
to love me. and I'm very charming. And I'm a little weasel and you don't even
know it.

NICK
My name's Nick, I'm 25 years old, I'm from Minnesota, single. I think I'm a
very good looking guy, I'm a charmer with the ladies. That's going to play into
my benefit with all the ladies in the house.

JEN
My name is Jen, I'm 23 years old. I currently live in Beverly Hills. I'm a
bikini model, but at the same time, like, a computer nerd. Oh, I am single.

DICK
Evil Dick. 44. I've run nightclubs, I run bars. I've promoted concerts. Why do
I think I have a shot? Manipulating girls is kind of a way of life for me.

JESSICA
I'm Jessica, I'm 21, from Hazeville Kansas. I'm outgoing, and I'm smart. I'm
competitive, and I'm loyal. I'm loyal until you backstab me, and then I'm your
worst enemy, so watch out.


Allison:
So, this year, we have this, oh, crazy 6'-4" gentleman from Chicago, who is
just over the top.

JOE
What's gay and has two thumbs?

ALLISON:
And he is smart, and he is evil. Let's see, we have a mom from Oregon, a small
town in Oregon, and she is probably more conservative than some of the people
that we've had on our show before, which I think is very interesting.

KAIL
In Oregon, I hate to say, but I am a republican.

JAMEKA
I'm Jameka. I'm from Temple Hills Maryland. I'm 28. And I am single. I have
only been around black people the majority of my life, 99 percent. So it'll be
interesting. It's more than just winning the money for me.

ERIC
I'm Eric, I'm 27 years old. I think I have a charisma that will rally people
behind me. and when I start cutting people's throats, they'll never see it
coming.

ZACH
I'm Zach. 30 years old. From Tallahassee Florida. Went to Florida State. Go
Seminoles!

DANIELE
My name's Daniele, I'm 20 years old. I work at Hooters, I'm a server.

MIKE
My name is Mike, I am from Three Lakes Wisconsin, I'm 26 years old. 36 And I'm
a painting contractor. And I'm single.

DUSTIN
My name is Dustin. I'm 22 years old. I'm from Chicago. I am a salesman. So I'm
pretty good at selling things. Including myself. To complete strangers.

But they WON'T all be complete strangers. "Big Brother" always warns... expect
the unexpected. Like... living with a rival you never want to see again.


JOE: Like, they'll bring them in and be like, you screwed me over, and now I'm
gonna get you back. That's what I'm kinda worried about, but I don't think
they'll do that. I hope!
