awesome!
where'd you find that!

I'm rooting for Sheila and James LOL

I'm not sure if it's a rumor but I thought I would share

I went to look at the link and I think it's either heresay or a rumor as that person who posted the list didn't say where she found it or added anything else to support her findings. Just my opinion. Even though I think the list sounds reasonable so we shall see.

Big Brother Access posts:

Sources have revealed�
� James is a bit crazy, loves salads for breakfast and has a couple of tattoos that may be banished!
� Ryan wants to be a ladies man, is he?
� There is nothing quiet about Natalie�nothing - not even in the privacy of the potty!
� Matt is a charmer!
� The blonde�s are sticking together!
� James changes hair color as much as he changes moods� the girls made him Hot Pink last night.
� While Adam comes across as a relatively normal person, everyone has made the comment on his bug eyes. When he has a convo with someone, he looks like his eyes are about to pop out, which gives him a kinda creepy vibe.
� Jen and Parker have been looking awfully cozy.
� While a couple houseguests are talking to only one or two others, Amanda is taking the time to talk in-depth to everyone, sharing deep, personal stories.
� Joshuah seems to have bigger ambitions than Big Brother� namely a daytime soap career. On the other hand, Parker wants nothing to do with fame after his stint in the house is over.

Stay tuned for more!

I hope the pair list is just a rumor.  I checked out that BB8spolier site and it seems a bit shady to me.  Kind of like when Michael (BB6) apparently had a blog while he was in the BB house until it was revealed around Week 2 that it was just a fan pretending to be him.

Anyways, I'm taking that pair-list with a grain of salt.

[RealityFreakWill]

As far as the pairs......

Pretty much guaranteed are

Joshuah & Neil (gays)

Jen & Ryan (real life lovers)

but the rest....anything goes!

  Wow I have not been looking for a couple of days! You guys are great. So that means we have 11 Wednesdays if the season last until Tuesday May 6 right?

Michael or Puddin you both were right on top of this. If the first eviction is on the 20th,
1. CBS may be keeping themselves open for a shorter edition

2. They go out in couples for the first few weeks, then play as individuals.

3. Maybe they only have an eviction every other Wednesday (I don't think this rumor is plausible) which will leave four people at the end to compete for the half million.

4. Teams of two will be evicted together, and some will come back in the house at a later time during the game.

Okay, I think I will just wait, this is making me crazy! 

There are 16 houseguest but if you look at the pics of the memory wall there is only 14 frames...Some have posted that thier cable lineup says the first eviction will be Tues night...the 12th which would be a first in BB....

[michael]

my guess is that the cable line ups are just confuse because the first house guest has always been available on the next available "live show" date which this time happens to fall the day after the premier, but we already had the press release stating the first house guest will be evicted on the 20th

i really doubt we'll have an eviction on the 2nd episode

[michael]

also keep in mind if THAT is the case we probably wont get the feeds until wednesday then because then we would know who is gone as soon as the feeds come on tomorrow night, wouldn't we?

Good point, Michael. We all know CBS has screwed up in the past!

[I hate Fish]

If first eviction is the day after then I will know along with the rest of sho2 comes on later that night.  No matter what we will know who is gone.

[RealityFreakWill]

I checked my DirecTV on screen guide and it does say first eviction this Wednesday! 

I'm pretty sure it's an error....but I've been reading on some sites that say the first pair is already out of house, hence only the 14 frames on the memory wall! RUMORS, RUMORS, RUMORS!

Makes me wanna scream.......

[puddin]

I noticed on a private BB board that I can't link to, that Chelsia & Jacobs pictures are missing, let the "rumors" begin 

[MamaTo4boys]

I think that even tv guide can be wrong. Wasn't it Amazing Race this season that had "another team is eliminated" but it was a non elim. Same could be with Big Brother and all the tv guides say the same thing.

[michael]

I just think it'd be so pointless of them to get rid of somebody so fast when they put in 16 people for the first time ever?

Since that reliable source who always has everything right says that some people will be coming back I'm beginning to buy the rumor that getting evicted as a team and then america votes one of those people back into the house -- ultimately we still lose one person per week so it;ll work out.

SO MANY THEORIES!

maybe Julie Chen will help clear some of them up tonight on the Craig Ferguson show

PS:
TV guides have been saying that Wednesday will be the 1st eviction for a while now so I don't think it has anything to do with today's press release

[puddin]

My article came directly from CBS press Mama, not that they are always right 
Also on the 14 frames..........wouldn't we still need 16 with the 2 being evicted grayed out?

"there are 14 players this season but we start with 16"

Sorry Puddin, I didn't even see your post 

Wow, its all confusing, at least we only have a day to wait for it!!!
