Big Brother 10 Season Premiere - Intro to Renny 7/13/08

Meet Renny and the House Guests of BB10
CBS Sunday 9/8c 7/13/08

Big Brother 10 kicked off its regular season tonight with the usual meet and greet. I can never tell from the first show if the season is going to be a success, this group is no different. It is funny to see how ill at ease the contestants are, not knowing when the first BB10 Twist will hit. The first thing I wonder about is the number of House Guests, there are only thirteen when the norm is sixteen. Knowing Big Brother, they may very well add more players at different intervals of the game. While many fans wanted a Fans vs. Faves (ala Survivor), what what we get is another eclectic group of grassroots Americans. There are no obvious psychos yet, give the BB10 House Guests a few weeks with nothing but that grating voice you hate to cut through the silence of the day. It never fails, someone on Big Brother goes berserk, and it's fun to watch. I'm not proud of it, but I truly enjoy Big Brother.

Without further ado, here are the Big Brother 10 House Guests:

Brian - (27) Telecommunication Account Mgr. (cell phone salesman)

Angie - (29) Pharmaceutical Rep.(expense account princess)

Memphis - (25) Bartender (he calls himself a 'Mixologist', whatever.)

April - (30) Financial Manager (for a car dealership)

Ollie - (27) Marketing Sales Representative (son of a Pentecostal preacher, an honest salesman?)

Michelle - (28) Real Estate Agent (says she is Portuguese and loud)

Jerry - (75) Retired Marketing Executive (looks like the sweet great-grandfather type, doesn't he...)

Libra - (31) Human Resources Representative (Obama backing hard core Liberal, did I mention she's an HR Rep.?)

Steven - (35) Rodeo Competitor (Gay rodeo Champion, whatever... still very hot!)

Renny - (53) Beauty Salon Owner (did you ever hear the song Beauty School Drop Out? BB10 needs to make it her signature background music.)

Dan - (24) Catholic School Teacher (firmly believes all will be forgiven in the confessional.)

Keesha - (29) Hooters Waitress (a shoe in for First Shaving Cream Bathing Suit Award of BB10)

Jessie - (22) Professional Body Builder (natural, so he's not huge... thank you Big Brother!)

Tonight started with a twist, each House Guest had to vote for a Head of Household before entering the BB10 House. As a bold (not!) start six House Guests voted for Jerry, winning him the firstHOH Competition of BB10. Don't sell Jerry short, he actually won three competitions tonight: Oldest Big Brother House Guest, Head of Household, and First Booby Honk of BB10! OK, the last one I made up, but he did honk April's boobies. April went around the circle to prove to all the women that they were real (like any good Nebraska girl would do!) and Jerry was next in line. "They are very, very real" Jerry was later quoted saying in the diary room.

We also have a winner for BB10 Most Annoying House Guest, easily taken by Renny. If she stays in the BB10 House, Renny will quickly drive us all round the bend. Notice I said if she stays, Jerry nominated Renny and Jessie for Eviction because they had a "conflict". Renny woke Jessie up (and everyone else in the BB10 House), and Jessie called her out (it was a kitten fight). Jerry correctly used it to his advantage and has already made an alliance. He will be true to the end, his alliance (Brian and Dan) will have to prove themselves.

There was a great Reward Challenge, the winner receiving a vintage mint condition classic car. With thirteen House Guests someone had to sit out to form even teams, Jessie volunteered (prior to finding out the prize). The reward was also for food, and for sitting out Jessie gets to eat. That should make him feel better! Memphis won the classic car in a game where the other player had to choose to give up the car to win the race, it was kind of cool.

This season of Big Brother looks to be very competitive. While everyone has seen the game enough to know how it generally works, this group of House Guest appear to be more mature. Which will make watching the mental breakdowns that much more humorous to me. Tune in to CBS Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday nights to catch the fun of BB10.
