So, it's officially begun! Big Brother 8 is HERE!
I am still try to learn everyone's name - 14 people all at once is a little overwhelming! And I can already sense that this season is going to be pretty chaotic! I can just smell the loads and loads of drama, scheming, and deception to come! And I think it will be a 3 month intense version of a Jerry Springer (gay ex lovers accusing each other of STDs) episode and a Maury Povich ("i'm your daddy and I'll prove it with the spilled blood from my tatoos and piercings!") reunion show.

I must say that the house is really cool this year! It's all done up in an "Alice in Wonderland" theme with giant spinning mushrooms in the backyard, hobit-sized beds, and miniature doorways. I wonder what other rooms could be hidden for the guests to later find?!

The season has already started with an explosion of surprises! 6 of the guests must live in the house with their WORST enemy (2 ex gay lovers, 2 girl rivals since 7th grade, and a father/daughter pair who hasn't spoken in 2 years). Wow, it makes the show so much juicier when the cast brings their history to the show! Now, we must watch (and be immensely entertained) as the 14 house guests deal with these emotional situations. Will the other 8 contestants be symapthetic to the unfortuante 6? Or will the "enemies" need to rely on each other as allies in order to avoid eviction?

Also, Big Brother has placed a contestant inside who they label "America's Player." America will vote on a certain action for him to take (ie, vote to evict a particular player or spread a rumor about a house guest) and he will be paid upon completing these missions we vote on! Eric is this chosen player and he will definitely add a new and exciting dimension to this game.

Believe it or not, Bodog already has odds up on who will win Big Brother 8!
You can bet on whether the winner will be male (-120) or female (-120).

You can also bet on the gender combination of the first "hook up" on the show!!
Boy-Girl is at 1/4
Girl-Girl is at 7/2
Girl-Girl-Boy is at 5/1
Boy-Boy is at 8/1
Boy-Boy-Girl is at 10/1

Unless there is a crazy hot tub night soon, I think it's pretty safe to bet on a Boy-Girl Hookup happening first. There are too many pretty boys and girls locked in that house!

And of course, you can already bet on which player will win!
Amber: 11/1
Carol: 9/1
Daniele: 19/2
Dick: 12/1
Dustin: 10/1
Eric: 9/1
Jameka: 11/1
Jen: 7/1
Jessica: 9/1
Joe: 10/1
Kail: 15/1
Mike: 17/2
Nick: 12/1
Zach: 7/1

Personally, it's too early for me to say for sure, but I have a little crush on Mike, so I'm going to be cheering for him!
