Premiere the first (June 25)

Ratings - Hooray for Noobs edition

Preliminary ups for going with all new hamsters! The pre-season rumors about has-beens were pervasive, and many came from sources with varying degrees of reliability, so it was very refreshing to find out we do indeed have all new faces this time. Many folks are excited that BB will finally be in HD but personally, I'm not anxious to see zit popping, tooth flossing, and foot picking any clearer than we always have.
26 - single Esthetician Model North Hollywood, CA (orig Knoxville, TN) I don't know what's up with the esthetician stuff - she described herself as a model when asked, and her scantily clad pics are all over the interwebs. Most likely to get the boot very early.	NOMINATED - WON BOB 29 - divorced, 3 kids Event coordinator Torrance, CA (orig Long Beach, CA) She said she'll miss social media most, not her kids, but I suspect we'll be hearing more about her kids than we'd like. Most likely to require a Daily Sighting reminder that she's still there.
HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD 26 - single Adventure hunting guide Dallas, TX (orig Hopkinsville, KY) Just as potential fans were drooling over his many selfies, a double scandal hit the fan between boar hunting with a stick and extremely inappropriate comments on his Instagram. Most likely to tangle with others about animal rights, and other things.	23 - married Barista/shift supervisor Tucson, AZ She really is a barista, at Starbucks, and she seems to know her BB pretty well. That doesn't necessarily count for much but it always makes us feel good when 'one of our own' makes it in with all the actormodels and recruits. Most likely to play a good social game that will eventually crumble from emotionality.
23 - single Sales account exec Howell, NJ (orig Hackensack, NJ) Another model whose abs are all over town. Personally I prefer personalities over pecs but this is how they like to cast it. Most likely to get into a guy fight.	30 - married, baby daughter Police officer/sergeant Providence, RI He says he's going to lie about being a cop, and we all know job lies never work out. Along with Devin, most likely to become utterly boring about his little girl (though she is adorable).
26 - single, baby daughter Motorcycle sales manager San Antonio, TX (orig Santa Barbara, CA) Practically a big leagues baseball player once, this guy is going to compete his brains out and might have a hissyfit or two if/when he doesn't win comps. I've been told he was chock full of drama when he was younger, so let's hope he hasn't lost that. Most likely to have a slop meltdown.	NOMINATED 42 - single School groundskeeper Albemarle, NC This guy has huge potential to be a top notch hamster, and his self-described fear of public speaking could make his Diaries extra fun. Most likely to provide many Lines of the Day, and to be a fan favorite.
DEPOSED HOH 31 - single YouTube personality New York, NY (orig Boca Raton, FL) I don't have anything against him (yet?) but I detest the built-in advantage he's got with the viewer voting - it makes the whole thing pointless. Elissa's Brenchel fanbase was chopped liver compared to Ariana's 15 million Twitter followers, and Frankie has 500k of his own! Most likely to be alternately annoying and boring, once his 'on' persona runs its course.	21 - single Pedicab driver Long Beach, CA (orig Marlborough, MA) Often when they say they're all about humor, they end up being the total opposite. But I'm going to hold out hope for him to keep things lively and funny, and of course I include unintentional humor in that. Most likely to carefully avoid being in fights.
33 - married, 2 kids Minister Lovejoy, GA (orig Griffin, GA) I'm not big on religion being brought into this game, but I think it's a given that it will this time, and especially by her. But I'm ready for fights and follies, and that weird bow tie earns easy ups regardless. Most likely to participate in a Holy War.	TEAM AMERICA 27 - single Makeup artist/hairstylist Seattle, WA She's very upbeat and chatty in her interviews but she doesn't really say anything. Most likely to be Diary's favorite.
21 - single Recent nursing graduate Ubly, MI She's another feedster who crossed over to the other side, and I think she'll do well in there provided she lays low. Most likely to go far, especially if she keeps quiet and plays the girl-next-door role.	NOMINATED 27 - single DJ Astoria, NY (orig East Hampton, CT) 'Pao Pao' is pals with GinaMarie, and has been exposed as having a mouth on her, both in text and by calling Jeff 'old and fat'. Here's hoping she didn't leave the fireworks at home. Most likely to star in catfights.
NOMINATED - WON BOB 22 - single Photographer Weston, FL (orig Brooklyn, NY and Israel) She's something of a wild card and I think she'll be completely out of her element here, which could work in our favor. Most likely to have frequent fake hair disasters and star in Deathrace 2014.	23 - single Recent economics graduate Palm Beach, FL What the hell is going on here? I'm starting to think he may have actually contacted Dr Will when he put out his invitation to finalists. He claims he'll have a masterful social game but all I'm seeing is another Jeremy character. Most likely to be an asshat.
