Hot off the presses, these are reportedly the pairings:
BB9 Couple #1 Joshuah and Neil
BB9 Couple #2 Sheila and James
BB9 Couple #3 Jen and Ryan (so the existing couple does get to stay together!)
BB9 Couple #4 Matt and Chelsia
BB9 Couple #5 Alex and Amanda
BB9 Couple #6 Natalie and Jacob
BB9 Couple #7 Parker and Sharon
BB9 Couple #8 Adam and Allison
Note that the other castmates who are rumored to have been dating in the past (Jacob and Sharon) are not paired off. Also, the 21 year-old punk rock bicyclist who loves the Clash nabbed the former Penthouse Pet. Interesting!
Please don't let this be another silly twist where the existing couple must keep their real-life relationship a secret from the other competitors.

The Pairings Are Set (Maybe)
Saturday, February 9, 2008
To strip or not to strip...
While you men search out the naughty background of the women, I have heard some scuttlebutt that James used to be a stripper. Not my type, but hey, could make for some awfulness on the feeds.
Is CBS Encouraging Controversy? I Hope So
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out what CBS is hoping for in this season’s edition of Big Brother. Just take a look at the female bios – you have a former Penthouse Pet of the Year, a “bikini barista”, and a young party girl who brags about her clit piercing. Add to that a “couples format” that forces pairs to do everything together and you have the potential for more skin then we’ve ever seen before.
Obviously, the network is aiming for more than just the standard “showmance” that has rarely translated into actual tawdry behavior. Was last year’s flirtations between Nick and Dannielle really that interesting? Or the previous season’s couplings of Josh and Britt, Will and Shannon, or Drew and Diane? Even season four’s one-night stand involving David and Amanda was quite possibly the most boring, least sexy boning ever captured by television cameras.
This year the network is doing everything they can to encourage some hooking up. Besides the openly brazen sexual outlook of the majority of the cast (even the token conservative woman has fake tits), the producers are using an eHarmony-ish survey to create the pairings.
Yet there are plenty of rumors calling shenanigans on a few of the contestants. We’ve all heard that one pair (Jen and Ryan) are already dating, and reportedly another pair (Jacob and Sharon) were childhood sweethearts. What if, however, these couples are not actually paired together? Isn’t it possible that the results of the surveys will pair these four with other people? Some good drama could come out of this situation.
But why is CBS amping up the sexual tension? Why would they turn up the house’s heat enough to encourage fewer clothes, as some sites have proclaimed? The answer is obvious – ratings. This is the first time that CBS has aired the show outside of the summer rerun season, and despite the writer’s strike there is much more competition on not only the other networks but also the cable channels. Big Brother has never had to compete with American Idol or The Apprentice, or previously unaired episodes of the various Law and Orders.
Don’t forget about Showtime, as I bet they were very disappointed with last season’s nightly airings. Instead of the uncensored, R-rated material we were promised in the promos, 99% of the evening consisted of Dick smoking, spitting, and ranting. The closest thing to sex we saw all year was Nick and Dannielle sharing a hammock, and outside of Jen’s skimpy bikini we never saw any skin. Something tells me that won’t be a problem this year (or at least I hope not).

Jen and Ryan
So Jen and Ryan are or were dating. Interestingly, the executive producer has specified that the HG's are "singles", and that they filled out a "love-match profile" at auditions---similar to your run-of-the-mill internet dating website. This helped decide the couples that will compete for what I'm assuming will be a split $500, 000. CBS has also insisted that the pairs will be complete strangers also. That means the love birds can't possibly be a team. Uhoh?

Evil Dick Back On Metal Sludge
Ok, I know this blog is for BB9, but I found something tonight about Evil Dick that I had to share. Before becoming a contestant on last year's edition, Dick was a regular poster on the Metal Sludge Gossip Board.
Of course, after winning he had to return to the board to gloat. After a handful of "hater" replies, "McGuirk" had this to offer:
"Call the Ron and Fez show, they want to talk to you. They loved the show and enjoyed watching you.
866-RON-0-FEZ"
Which was followed by this by a poster by the name of "TheMetalChick":
"Yeah, I bet R&F would LOVE to talk to you. I called in back when they were Ron and Fezz.com and they were funny guys."
Too bad this never happened.

From Realitybbq:
Chelsia Hart, 21, college student from Cedar Falls, Iowa
Birthday: November 9, 1986
Attends University of Northern Iowa
MySpace (it originally said 21/cedar falls... notice her only friend runs sex parties!)
"Chelsia is currently a German major at the University of Northern Iowa. She has lived in Germany and will be studying in Austria for a year beginning this September.
She is a hot party girl who says it like it is. She likes older men and is looking to be loved. She describes herself as wild, sincere, competitive and determined with a big attitude. Chelsia loves motorcycles and wants to sell Harleys. She also loves her pet cat, Pugsley, who she calls her baby.
Her favorite television shows are BIG BROTHER and "Nip/Tuck." Her favorite movies include "American Beauty" and "Running with Scissors," and for music, she is a fan of Tool and Marilyn Manson.
Chelsia says she has had everything pierced and has three tattoos, two of which cover her back. She loves to watch football and her favorite activities include dancing, drinking, going out and watching movies."
Sounds like the perfect woman for me!

Blech
I have been working on an intelligent, well thought out first post, then I just saw the commercial for BB9 and the "soulmate" twist.
My first post went out the window and all I have to say is this sucks big hairy butt.
Parker the Paparazzo
So, it's just been realized by Parker's employer, TMZ, that he's a HG. If he could keep this secret from the most efficient privacy pokers on the planet, just imagine how he'll do in the house?
Another Naughty Cast Member
Oooh, 45 year-old Sheila Kennedy is a former Penthouse cover girl!
From Wikipedia:
Sheila Kennedy is a model and actress who was the December 1981 Penthouse Pet of the Month and the 1983 Penthouse Pet of the Year.

Recently she has been announced in February of 2008 to be involved in a new Big Brother season in the US.[1]

More Info On The Soulmate Twist!
From CBS.com:
"This season marks other BIG BROTHER firsts, including the first-ever all-single cast and the most Houseguests in BIG BROTHER history.
When this group of 16 singles enters the house, they will be told they are being matched up with their “soul mate,” a stranger who may prove to be their true love or their worst nightmare. Whether there is a love connection or not, once paired up, the Houseguests’ life in the game depends on their partner. They must strategize, plot and scheme together as a couple for a chance at the prize. These “lovebirds” will live together as a couple meaning they will sleep in the same bed, hold Head of Household as a couple, be nominated for eviction as a pair, and if the time comes, say their goodbyes together upon eviction."
Ugh! Besides the yuck factor of this twist, it seems obvious that we're looking at a shortened season. If they're evicted as couples, the show will be over in seven weeks.

6 more days...I CAN'T WAIT!!
So, I saw the videos ikers posted and I cannot wait to see James in the house. I was right, he's insane and I love it. I dig him most out of anyone, and dare I say I hope he makes it all the way to the end.
Fake Boobs says something interesting. She's a Christian and God made her beautiful body so why not show it off. Did God insert those bags of chemicals under that layer of muscle in your breasts too? HELLLOOOOOOOOO ANYONE HOME~
I also heard Janelle's over staying her welcome in the Big Brother community. I say there's not enough of her. If she could be an HG every season I'd be elated. So there. Look up some vids of her around here. She is just amazing to look at.
Barb

If you missed the Early Show here is the video. I am finding the "Love Match" thing a bit silly.
And here is a second video with Janelle doing the talking...

BB9+Barb=Better than Sex
Hi! I'm Barb, and from here on out you can hate what I have to say, but I guarantee you'll love hating it. It's win-win for me really. It's not win-win for those in the BB9 house, though. Someone has to win, and there better be a lot of backstabbing when it happens, or i'll be piiiiissed.
I like to think I have a good perceptive eye when it comes to first meeting people. Usually it works pretty well just looking at them too, say in a photograph or an exclusive video from ilovereality.com of the HG's, so I'll take a stab now.
Let's go through the candidates:
Jen is a Danny Donato look-alike, trying to keep it fresh and hip. She looks like she wouldn't like to start any shit, and quite frankly, what the hell are we watching for if there isn't any shit. She might find solice in her fellow Columbus, Ohioan, Ryan. I can't figure out if he's a frat boy, or just likes Coldplay, I get those two confused sometimes. Eh, both won't stay long in my opinion.
Parker is a black paparazzo who must have decided being in front of the camera was going to be a nice change. I'm sure he'll use this all as an excuse when snapping pictures of various celebrities since he'll get to know what it's like maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, but I'm very excited to hear his celeb stories on BB After Dark. He also has huge,wacky hair. Where's that god-loving, hair-braiding woman when you need her.
Amanda is a paralegal from Minnesota, I call her...prettier Amber. She isn't going to get any play, but her accent should piss someone off eventually.
Sheila, a retired model in her 40s wants me to think she wouldn't hurt a fly. I know better. She's from California she might have a tough skin. They never do though. The crash and burn of all things once full of life rears it's ugly head in time. Hopefully she isn't just happy to be there, taking in the tv experience while she can. I hate that crap. Using that bitter, cut-throat, modeling-industry mindset might pan out if she uses it.
Alex, a dj company owner from Staten Island, is my pick for one of the gay men in the house. He is cute though, it'd be a shame. He looks like a mix of Bomb...I mean Tom Brady and Nick Lachey.
Allison is from Boston, and my TOTAL PICK for the latch-onto-a-man plan. Hope it works for her. Try Parker, paparazzi dig the needy girls now. Hey, I'm just calling them like I see 'em.
Adam, a Flordian who looks like he's an obnoxious European but isn't, is another pick for one of the gay guys. You can have this one boys. Eesh.
Chelsia, I think I'm already in love with you. Your face piercing and devious smile say it all. You are a fucking partyer. Bisexual anyone? If this woman doesn't break something in the house, I'll come there myself and get her the 8-ball I know she's itchin' for right now. Go girl! She'll most likely choose a man to take all her anger out on from the party withdrawal..I'm thinking Jacob, an electrician from Georgia. That cute little southern boy accent is adorable. But it screams walk all over me to a girl like meI mean her.
FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT NATALIE, 28, BARISTA WITH FAKE BOOBS ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT FAKE BOOB ALERT
Interestingly, there's a biker (no, a real bike, not one with a motor) named James probably loving life. He looks like he might have shit together, even though it's a bit on the weird side. I want to see what he's about. It could all change on a dime of course...if you watch you'd know that. *flashbacks of dustin's face*
Sharon's a realtor who thinks she'll be taking the Donato lookalike award til she meets Jen. Aw. Sorry. Back to square one FOR YOU!
Joshuah, a goofball from Dallas, should provide entertainment. We all know what happens when people like to take the spotlight too much. It shouldn't worry Matt, from Mass. with his snazzy shirts and ironed sweater vests. He thinks he's already won. Too bad, man. At least he didn't get this job by finding Julie Chen a vacation home, cause how the hell else did Neil get in there. What a bore. He is my pick for first breakdown from being away from family.
Basically if there aren't tears and anguish, I'm not watchin'!
Yes I am, who am I kidding, I'm addicted. And now that I've posted, you have two addictions to worry about...don't get help 'til after the show is over. Thanks.

Paulisded's Casting Predictions
With the unveiling of the Big Brother contestants less than twelve hours away, I thought it was a good time to chat about the sorts of people that inevitably become a part of the show.
Obviously, these predictions may not hold true this year if what Indymike said earlier about some insipid “Soulmate” twist is true. I pray that he’s wrong, though, as there has yet to be a successful twist. Twins, enemies, ex-lovers, family members, and “America’s Player” were all complete wastes of time, and I can’t see anything beneficial out of forcing people to pair up.
Even if they follow through with this plan, the basics of Big Brother casting should remain similar to past seasons. Like all reality shows, BB’s booking closely follows the stereotypes that have ruled (and/or ruined) MTV’s Real World. Look for the following people:
1. At least two overly-tanned meatheads who spend the majority of their time in the house lifting weights. They always believe their shaved chests will cause the girls to swoon and the boys to stay clear of their wrath, yet they can’t have any conversations that don’t include their studliness.
2. Hoping for at least one hot hookup to drive TV ratings, the studmuffins must have an equal number of corresponding bimbos. They may rock a string bikini, but once again their conversations rarely stray from themselves or what you’ll find in People or Us Magazine.
3. One militant minority. An African-American is the TV standard, but every now and then you may find a Hispanic or a person of Middle Eastern descent. Delusions of grandeur inevitably affect their play, as they somehow believe they’re playing for their race.
4. One “flamboyant” gay person. They feel they represent the entire country’s homosexual population, and at one point in the season they’ll be offended by an offhand remark made by one of the meatheads.
5. One small town hick who has not only never traveled beyond their county’s boundaries, but has never met anybody who has any views outside of their own. They’ll be shocked when they meet a black, gay, and/or non-Christian. How can anybody be this sheltered in this era of MTV and the internet? It also helps if this person is extremely attractive, and has an existing relationship that will be tempted by their attraction to one of the pretty people.
6. One ultra-religious loon who believes God is going to hand them the prize money, and will spend the entire season offended by the existence of the homosexual contestant and the ultra-tiny bikinis worn by the bimbos.
7. One or two middle-aged married people who think they deserve to win for their families, and will play the “child card” every time they’re up for eviction.
8. One divorced single-mom who complains about her debts and her children every moment of every day.
9. Another older person, preferably a guy, who thinks of himself as the life of the party. He’s not much of a player, but lasts longer than expected simply because nobody takes him seriously.
These last three categories are the only real differences between Big Brother and the Real World, and they only exist because everybody on the Real World is between the ages of 18 and 24.
It also helps if somebody combines a couple of categories. Nothing is bigger television gold than an ultra-conservative gay African-American pretty boy.
For once, though, I’d like to see the casting of not only Big Brother but all reality shows break these chains and actually sign up some people that don’t easily fit into any category. Evil Dick was a rare character who, like him or not, was never dull mainly because he didn’t fit they typical cast member.
Here are some of the people I’d like to see (besides the all-babe version that would be my ultimate fantasy):
1. Twenty-something male hipster who lives in his indie rock t-shirts and can actually have real conversations during those late-night Showtime broadcasts.
2. Corresponding cute female rock chick, reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson’s character in Lost in Translation. I’d watch non-stop if at some point this person said she has a thing for older music collector dudes.
3. Porn star. Not a Jenna Jameson-ish character, but a relatively unknown person who has made a handful or pornos and is not afraid to admit it. Forget the mid-season discovery of naughty pics that we see every year; it would all be out in the open from the beginning of the show.
4. One ultra-liberal political junkie and a corresponding ultra-conservative. I’m not talking about the ill-informed types that regularly do make appearances, but those that are well-read and can actually debate issues without vilifying anybody whose opinion varies from their own.
5. One Kevin Smith-ish video store clerk. Just an average Joe with a gift for gab and a great wit.
6. One cute but not overly-attractive female bartender. I’m not talking about the usual “actress” waiting for her big break by tending bar in Hollywood, but a takes-no-crap Midwestern barmaid.
7. One professional musician who has toured the country in a small van playing tiny clubs. Not somebody who has tasted any real level of fame, but has a small following in every city in America. If you’ve heard of bands like Hot Water Music, Pinback, or The Whigs, you know what I’m talking about.
8. One middle-aged blogger who secretly gets to write about his experiences in the house. I know the perfect candidate for that spot!
