They never do it this early, do they?

I just got the live feeds. Did anyone else get them yet?

The cast is up! Cast Bios for the CBS Primetime Reality TV Show "Big Brother" - CBS.com

Great cast.

I'll reserve judgment until we actually get to see them on the feeds :D

Who do you guys think is the Sabetour?

The cast seems alright, but young. I would have liked if they had a few older houseguests. The oldest person is 40, which is stll young. I would have liked to see a few houseguests 45 and older, to add to the diversity.

apparently Carley's (fresh meat 2) former best friend Rachel Reilly is on the cast? Interesting. Anyway I am looking forward to this season.

My guess would be Lane. His occupation is apparently an oil rig salesman, I mean seriously he sells oil rigs? Probably a made up job by the producers after the BP fiasco.

Okay so Early Favorites: Monet, Lane, Brendon Early Dislikes: Andrew, Ragan, Hayden. My guess for the Saboteur: Monet- seems to be a "recruit," also seems like she might be a little tricky. Matt- no reason other than something doesnt sit right about him with me. Lane- read his interview questions on the Big Brother website. He doesnt give away any information, which could either be a smart thing, or it means he could be the saboteur. But, all of my early favorites and dislikes are likely to change, because we dont know anything about these people. All in All, looks to be a great season, and I cant wait for the kick-off. p.s. The women looked kinda janky...

I want to see Ragan last a while. This is just based off of reading the profile. I also think Lane is this season's mole.

Doesn't work for me.

Nice house. I like the beachy feel to it.

Can't wait for this to start! I plan on getting the live feeds again this year.

Get them now!! They are on sale.

I can't wait!!! I love Big Brother, and for some reason I always have the most heated debates regarding this show. Hopefully this season won't disappoint.

I agree, is it me or did this season come really fast?

I'm getting excited for this. Hopefully there's someone likeable this season. By the end of last season I was rooting for Natalie to win, which says something.

Today is the big day!!

So somebody is playing to not win the game or something....... I'm confused. All my questions will be answered tonight!!!!!!!!

Could we possibly be seeing another twist? Steven from BB10 may be back on Big Brother + reality blurred

Why would big brother put a gay por*o star on CBS?? The network would never go for that.

I don't know how, but BB12 is killing it in the ratings.

CBS will broadcast a special two-hour finale of BIG BROTHER on Wednesday, Sept. 15 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), following the season premiere of SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). This summer's edition of BIG BROTHER is winning its time periods in adults 18-49 and posting significant year-to-year increases versus last summer, up +14% in viewers (6.91m vs. 6.06m), +20% in adults 18-49 (2.4/08 vs. 2.0/07), +25% in adults 18-34 (2.0/08 vs. 1.6/06) and +12% in adults 25-54 (2.8/09 vs. 2.5/07).

I'm not sure either why ratings are up this year, as there has been very little "drama" thus far. I do know that it does not conflict with any other programming for me personally this summer, so maybe it is a case of there not being anything better to watch. This week Wednesday it was up against: Minute to Win it (easily the dumbest show of the new year) So You Think You Can Dance and a repeat of The Middle. Thursday it was up against: Wipeout (which got old after an episode) a repeat of Community and a repeat of Glee. Sunday it was up against: A repeat of Extreme Makeover: Lost credibility when Ty got a DUI Edition, repeats of the Simpsons + The Cleveland Show and a repeat of L&O. That said, Wipeout won the hour on Thursday, which just goes to show that even though Big Brother is completely mindless entertainment, people will still race to the "mental bottom." Doesn't it get boring as the 100th person jumps on the big ball, crashes on the second one and goes head first into the water? I pretty much could do an in depth recap of every episode aired and I've only watched about 15 minutes of that show, lol.

The way the people play the game this season is so annoying and boring. The Brigade could literally sit back & let the others pick off eachother & sail to the final four. How in the hell are we 5 eliminations in and the biggest 4 person alliance still hasn't lost a member. The way Ragan, Brittany, Kathy + the Brigade act are like the Friendship, just worst and nowhere near as entertaining.

How the hell is this season doing so good?! It's so damn boring! The only entertaining people are Brittaney, Enzo, and Rachel. Yes, Rachel is extremely annoying most of the time, but she's the only one bringing the drama!

That's what I've been wondering. The thing is, it's so boring and predictable, yet I continue to watch every episode. :D

I've watched this show faithfully since Season 1, it's always been a favorite of mine for some reason. I have to agree, this is without a doubt the most boring season yet! The producers really need to reconsider their casting tactics for next season.

While this season may be less eventful than past seasons, I am enjoying it. I typically don't like the twists, so getting rid of the Saboteur early improved the season for me (although the Saboteur may come back, which would be lame.) I love the format of Big Brother, so just following the format is enough to entertain me. This past week's episodes were great IMO.
