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!
The new entrance way, which executive producer Allison Grodner says captures this season’s "whimsical" style

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!
