It's back! Get ready for another exciting summer of Big Brother! Last week we got a glimpse of our 12 NEW houseguests. It should be noted that this season will have 4 "mystery" guests that are likely comprised of 4 previous players. There has been some wide speculation of who these returning players could be but until we see them on our screens, it's a mystery. Based solely off of the interviews with Jeff and their bios, here are my pre season power rankings! And note, this will absolutely change once we know who the final four houseguests will be.
#1. Tiffany
And she looks like Vanessa and sounds like her too! Just not as a whiney. She knows how to work Jeff except playing coy about Vanessa. Once people figure out who she is, she is gone. If she can keep her emotions in check, she may have a shot. If not, she will have a giant target on her back simply by the fact that Vanessa’s brilliant game play.
Prediction: Finals
#2. Bridgette
Little Miss Smiles. She is sugary sweet. So perky. I like her! She is a fan of the show, in some capacity. She’s not a super girly girl so she may not fit in but she seems like she can be a chameleon. Bridgette says she is a bad liar. She seems like she will be walked all over. Is she a failed version of Becky? Perhaps. But with so many big personalities this season, Bridgette could sneak her way to the end.
Prediction: Finals
#3. Zakiyah
She may be a preschool teacher but I’m convinced she is a fierce girl that will explode! If you cross Zakiya, she will destroy you. And my gut is telling me that she is going to fall in love with someone who won’t want her. I can see her being early jury and be bitter until the end. She’s going to try to play a mental game and I don’t really see that working out.
Prediction: Jury
#4. Jozea
Will he be name dropping all summer? If he’s smart he won’t tell stories all season long. He seems like he will get along with a lot of people. He will be a social player that could help him get pretty far. He doesn’t seem to have a giant personality at the bat which will allow him to squeak by early on.
Prediction: Jury
#5. Glenn
By default, Glenn is an outcast. He’s the oldest person in the house and that may make him an easy target. He is very personable but you can tell he has a fire inside and a mouth to match. Don’t piss him off because he will fight. If he truly is versatile, then this game is meant for him. He’s an underdog. He’s a sleeper. Don’t count him out quite yet.
Prediction: Jury
#6. Paulie
But can’t we have Cody? They too, sound the same. He has a target on his back just like Tiffany. He is not nearly as suave as his brother. The thing with Cody was he had a brilliant alliance. Paulie needs to find a Derrick. Could that Derrick be Tiffany? If they pair up that could be a power dynamic. If not, Paulie is an easy target.
Prediction: Jury
#7. Michelle
Is Michelle the new Nicole? Probably. But does she have a Hayden to help her along and push her to fight? Probably not. She’s the superfan of the season. Amongst the cast, she should keep her knowledge of the game to a minimum. Michelle needs to find a good partner or alliance and keep in the middle of it. She could be an underdog or a giant target for her smarts and likability.
Prediction: Jury
#8. Bronte
OMG! THAT VOICE! She can’t be as dumb as she is. Or she is the greatest actress in the history of the world. She wants to be a mathematician and she can’t do 9 x 9?! The sad fact is that she is going to be dragged far simply because she is an odd duck. Victoria, we’re looking at you. Can the house flip on her because her voice is annoying? I can see that happening. I mean, I would vote her out. Expect to hear Bronte and her problem solving skills all summer long.
Prediction: Jury
#9. Corey
Thank god we got a country boy! So basically Corey is Clay, right? Big picture, Corey just does not fit in with this cast. He is a charmer. He’s attractive. But how far will that take him? He seems like he has a moral compass that will hurt him play the game smartly.
Prediction: Pre Jury
#10. Natalie
Natalie is a girly girl. She will find a boy and crush. And then forget she’s playing a game. She seems like she will be likable and could float her way through the jury. She’s unimposing. And that’s fine for the early stage of the game. But if she really wants to make an all girls alliance, she better be smart about it.
Prediction: Pre Jury
#11. Victor
Tool. He is a tool. He just looks like he has the biggest ego ever. From Devin to Jeremy to Jace, Victor fills the quota of the big guy with big ego who will be out early. Victor will try to have a showmance and it will backfire. He claims he has strategy but I see known. Bye Victor!
Prediction: Pre Jury
#12. Paul
"Cool" guy that will likely explode without warning. Seems like an earlier boot if he doesn't vibe with someone. Oh and that laugh. Annoying. Is he short or is Jeff that big? He is bound to push buttons and piss people off.
Prediction: Pre Jury
