Jameka speculation
According to sites on the net, such as Reality TV Insider and Reality BBQ, the Queenmicka myspace belongs to BB contestant Jameka and its location info was changed. Consider this, THIS myspace belonging to CBE, (who is in the education field in Upper Marlboro, MD) has Queenmicka on her friend list. Further, Princess Kimberly's myspace has a comment made by Queenmicka, signed "Jamicka". A google search for Queenmicka reveals this information. Sound like alot of coincidence? I think so too. Stay tuned for more as it develops.

Rivals Will Clash

This Season's Show Will Also Allow Viewers To Have A Role
June 28, 2007
(CBS) Each year the houseguests on "Big Brother”" encounter a different twist. This year the hit reality show will be taking rivalries to new heights, when some contestants find themselves living under the same roof with their sworn enemies.
"Big Brother" host and The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen previewed the show's eighth season, which premieres next week.
Executive Producer Alison Grodner described this year's wild plotline: "What's going to happen on opening night [is that] 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," she said.
Another change for "Big Brother" this summer will be the viewers' involvement. A game element called "America's Player" will give the houseguests opportunities to win money if they perform actions desired by those watching at home. For example, a player might be asked to flirt with someone specific or vote someone out of the house.
This year's group of 14 men and women is an eclectic group. Each hope they will leave the "Big Brother" house as the winner and $500,000 richer.
The Houseguests:
Amber, 27, a cocktail waitress at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, believes she can weasel her way with anyone. "People just tend to love me. And I'm very charming. And I'm a little weasel and you don't even know it," she said. Amber is separated.
Nick, 25, a former professional football player from Kimball, Minn., thinks his charming ways will give him an edge during the competition. He said, "I'm a charmer with the ladies. That's going to play into my benefit with all the ladies in the house." Nick is single.
Jen, 23, a bikini model and nanny from Beverly Hills, Calif., says she is also a computer nerd. Jen is single.
Dick, 44, a bar manager from Los Angeles, Calif., is the oldest guest in the house. "Evil Dick," as he refers to himself, considers himself a legit competitor because of his ways with women. "Manipulating girls is kind of a way of life for me," he said. Dick is single.
Jessica, 21, a college student from Haysville, Kan., is a devoted friend until you cross her. She said, "I'm loyal until you backstab me, and then I'm your worst enemy, so watch out," she warned. Jessica is single.
Joe, 23, a receptionist from Chicago, is "over the top," according to Grodner. She added, "And he is smart, and he is evil." Joe, who is 6 feet 4 and single, joked, "What's gay and has two thumbs?" when he pointed to himself during the guest introductions.
Kail, 37, a business owner from McKenzie Bridge, Ore., is married and a mother. Grodner said, "She is probably more conservative than some of the people that we've had on our show before, which I think is very interesting."
Jameka, 28, a school counselor from Waldorf, Md., isn't participating in "Big Brother" solely to win the grand prize. She said, "I have been around black people the majority of my life, 99 percent. So it'll be interesting." Jameka is single.
Eric, 27, a talent management assistant from New York, will lull his housemates into becoming his friends and then backstab some of them. He said, "I have a charisma that will rally people behind me. And when I start cutting people's throats, they'll never see it coming." Eric is single.
Zach, 30, a graphic designer from Burbank, Calif., is originally from Tallahassee, Fla., and attended Florida State University. He is single.
Danielle, 20, a Hooters waitress from Huntington Beach, Calif., is single.
Mike, 26, a painting contractor from Three Lakes, Wis., is single.
Dustin, 22, a salesman from Chicago, thinks his occupation will aid him on "Big Brother." He said, "I am a salesman. So I'm pretty good at selling things. Including myself. To complete strangers." Dustin is single.
Carol, 21, a student from Lawrence, Kan., is single.
Dick's Myspace reveals a possible rival pair!
BB contestant Dick, known as evildick on Myspace, has a picture on his profile of himself, his son, and his daughter...Daniele! Could this be a possible rival pair?
Daniele's profile is here, however it is set to private. Reality BBQ reported that a user's search revealed that EvilDick commented on Daniele's profile as well: link.
Stay tuned for more information, although i suspect that the myspace profiles will be offline or private as soon as CBS figures it all out.

'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.

house design unveiled!

Mirror, mirror on the wall: Instead of last year's fire-and-ice theme, this season's house has a 'fractured fairy tale' quality.

The two-level house has had an extreme makeover with bright new colors and a lot of optical illusions.

Pots and teakettles line the kitchen cabinets, and even the wall decorated with houseguests’ pictures got a pretty purple makeover.

The walkway to the coveted Head of Household room is a funky-looking 'enchanted' forest.

This comfy couch will come in handy for a game of chess or to make a strategic plan to win that half-million-dollar prize.

A look at the bedroom doorways, which are a nod to Alice in Wonderland. Grodner says, 'We've got a bedroom where you feel very big and a bedroom where you feel very small!'

Claustrophobia alert! This two-sizes-too-small room has five beds that are only 5 feet long and is filled with low-to-the-ground child-size chairs 'Essentially [they'll be] living in a dollhouse,' says Grodner.

A peek into this oversized room with enormous, shoulder-height beds. 'To get to the top drawer of the dresser you have to climb up steps,' explains Grodner.

The lavish blue bathroom could become the cool new hangout, if the houseguests can ignore the lion-shaped water spouts in the shower.

Like Alice in Wonderland's tea party, this season's house has a giant spinning teacup, and perhaps as a nod to Alice's sequel Through the Looking Glass, there's a big outdoor chessboard. Hmm, maybe that explains all those mirrors in the house, too....

The front and backyards have some gorgeous topiaries and flowers, which Grodner compares to 'an English garden meets Edward Scissorhands.'

The backyard has the same basic layout, with a hot tub, pool, hammock and exercise equipment to keep the houseguests happy. We can't wait for the July 5 premiere to see what the house looks like with people in it!

rumored house design
according to a poster on www.realitybbq.com's forum who was right with the house design last year ...
We had a walk through of the house last week.
It has an Alice in Wonderland theme. The colors are pastel and very bright. This house will pop! The bug room is now a room for "big people" and through a small door is a room for "little people". The Love/Hate room is now "The Harem". The back yard is filled with animal shaped bushes. The wall upstairs's wallpaper is a summer northeastern forest.
It was all quite beautiful.

hell's kitchen - i miss my recapper!
my friend and hell's kitchen recapper is on vacation so i was going to do the recap but i've never seen the show before and i got a phone call 15 minutes in and missed the rest so here's the official recap from the official site.
"Bonnie consoles Jen, who feels bad about her spaghetti incident. “I lost my sense of judgment being in this competition,” Jen explains. Yet Vinnie keeps harping on how it was wrong to pull food from the garbage, which makes Jen feel even worse.
The next day, Chef Ramsay lines up the chefs and explains that they are not tasting their dishes. Perhaps they need help in that area? The next challenge will be to test their palettes. One by one they are blindfolded and given three foods to recognize by taste. Julia and Brad are up first. She easily spots American cheese, but Brad doesn’t. They both know fried chicken, but neither can pick out a plain, boiled carrot.
Melissa and Rock step up to the plate. He beats her on hard boiled egg yolk, but they are both stumped by venison. Next are Bonnie and Josh. At first she tells Chef that she can hear him through the earphones. They are fixed to make her unable to hear Chef describe each food. Bonnie beats Josh on both bak choi and pear. The women are leading the men 5-3. It’s down to Vinnie and Jen. He doesn’t know seared tuna, so the girls win automatically.
Chef determines that the boys need help on their palettes, so they will be doing all prep in both kitchens for that night’s dinner service. Withdrawing to the dorms, the men are convinced that Bonnie could still hear through the earphones as Chef Ramsay said the name of each food item. Vinnie confronts Bonnie, who maintains that she didn’t cheat.
As the girls drive toward their reward lunch with Chef, Bonnie is appalled that she was accused of cheating. She thinks it’s the men being bitter losers. Back at Hell’s Kitchen, the men are forced to eat strange foods as part of their punishment to educate their palettes. Sous Chef Scott lays out plates of pickled palm leaf, grass jelly, cream herring, pickled herring, calves liver, trotters, pig tongue and cow tongue. The Blue Team begrudgingly digs in to their disgusting meals. Rock sweats profusely throughout the lunch, but he refuses to throw up.
On a different note, the Red Team meets Chef Ramsay at a restaurant called Opaque where they will be dining in the dark in order to taste their meals without seeing them. The girls start to get flirty with Chef when the lights are out. After lunch, they return to the dorms for some relaxation time since they don’t have to prep for dinner service. The men exhaustedly chop for both kitchens.
Before the restaurant opens, Chef explains that the customers’ comment cards will determine the fate of who wins the contest. Josh quickly delivers his risotto appetizers, but Chef Ramsay and Sous Chef Scott stop to taste them. His plates are undercooked.
Meanwhile in the Red kitchen, Julia overcooks her scallops and has to start over. Yet Melissa’s risotto is already completed. Chef chides Melissa for not being a team player when the other chefs are not on the same timeframe as her. She tries to rally her team’s appetizers together.
On the Blue side, Chef notices that Josh is standing around with nothing to do. He reprimands Rock for not giving him the scallops to handle. Thanks to Rock’s efforts, the men get their appetizers served and move onto entrees. Yet Vinnie has overcooked his Beef Wellingtons and needs another fifteen minutes to make four more.
Bonnie is having the same problems with her entrees except that her chicken is raw. Chef loses his patience and yells at her for lying. Two hours into dinner, the women have served fourteen entrees while the men have only served six. The customers complain to Jean Phillipe and one woman approaches Chef in the kitchen. He is not happy and calls the customer a “giraffe.”
Vinnie tries to flash grill rare Wellingtons in the oven to make them appear medium. Yet Chef and Scott catch him doing this. Chef Ramsay finds Vinnie has also made raw pastry on the Wellingtons and he accuses Vinnie of not caring. So far, Vinnie has thrown out six Wellingtons and one chicken.
Bonnie tries to get her Beef Wellingtons in order, but she becomes confused. One comes out raw and one is medium. Melissa tries to help her but they don’t remember the timing of the oven. Neither of them knows how to answer Chef. While the women have served 28 entrees, the men catch up with 21. This advancement is short-lived when Jean Phillipe brings back a too-salty fish and an undercooked spaghetti from the Blue Team.
Chef Ramsay gathers both teams and threatens to shut the entire kitchen down if more food comes back. Bonnie is still having problems reconciling times for the chicken and Beef Wellingtons to come out at the same time. Chef doesn’t approve of the chicken she finally delivers. Then Jean Phillipe brings back another chicken returned to the Blue kitchen. Chef is furious and closes the kitchen.
In a corner, Bonnie sobs to her teammates that she’s not cut out for a restaurant. Rock complains that his team panicked when they only had to finish entrees.
After the comment cards are turned in, Chef reports that the customers enjoyed the majority of the food served. Unfortunately, over 65% of them won’t ever return because the food took too long to get to the table. “Your restaurant would fail with those numbers,” Chef explains. There will be no winning team.
Since Chef felt that Rock was solid, he asks him to nominate one person from his team who was problematic. Chef doesn’t make the same offer to Melissa because she wasn’t up to par. He has Jen pick out a teammate because she was the best of the worst. Rock tells Jen that he knows exactly who to select. Vinnie assumes it will be him. Bonnie is sure that Jen will pick her too. Yet Jen loves Bonnie and doesn’t want to see her go.
Rock announces to Chef Ramsay that he has nominated Josh because he believes Josh has maxed out his potential. Rock doesn’t feel he is an asset. Jen says that she has chosen Melissa because her leadership qualities were not on display. “I’m disappointed with both of you,” Chef says. He overrules them, and selects Bonnie and Vinnie as the two up for elimination.
Vinnie says that he had his head so far up his ass during service that he has no idea what Josh’s faults were in the kitchen. Yet he says he should be permitted to stay because he is the most qualified to run the restaurant in Las Vegas. Chef asks Vinnie to show some humility and admit that he was oblivious about the Wellington.
Bonnie admits that she was surprised that Jen didn’t nominate her. Yet she says that she has more to learn when it comes to service even though she excels at prep with her teammates. Chef Ramsay picks Vinnie as the one to leave Hell’s Kitchen. “I can’t go any further with you,” Chef says. “You’ve peaked.” Vinnie turns in his jacket and leaves, blaming the vast expanse between his experience and Chef Ramsay’s as the reason he was let go.
Bonnie still wants to be a chef, but isn’t sure if she’s meant to be one. Josh now knows that Rock wants him out. “Bottom line with Vinnie is, he’s a crap cook,” Chef Ramsay snaps."
