Christmas, 33 Raleigh, NC: I really like Christmas. But I'm definitely worried that they're going to look at her and see a big fat target. If her dog dies while she's away, I'm going to be devastated for her. Geez Jeff don't put that out into the universe. I originally thought her and Matthew might hit it off but this interview sort of changes my mind on it. I don't know, time will tell. I just hope she's a comp beast. Girl power!
Jillian, 24 Las Vegas, NV: I get the feeling from her that she's going to have a crush on every guy but she won't have the confidence to do anything about it. And fool dissed my girl Nicole so it's not looking good for her. It doesn't help that it's so boring listening to her talk.
Dominique, 30 Washington, DC: So right off the bat, she's an engineer which is pretty impressive. That's where my good impressions end unfortunately. She seems very high on herself. Confidence is one thing, but being too good for anyone else is another.
Ramses, 21 Michigan: Obviously a fan of the show. I don't like to use the term superfan until we see whether or not they really know their stuff. Will probably pull an Ian and try to hide under the cupboards and stuff. I think he'll probably butt heads with either Josh or Cody. Says he'd rather win and be hated but I have a feeling he's going to be one begging America for things.
Jason, Iowa: I have a feeling he's gonna end up being my fave. I'm a small town girl and there's a big rodeo here every year. And we love the clowns. Crap. Huge mark against him not ever seeing the show before. But, the summer is a busy rodeo time so I give him a slight pass. His strategy is to vote all the guys and the girls off. HAHAHAHA. I wish he was able to at least watch one season to get an idea. I think he'll be friendly enough to stick around for a couple weeks but I just don't know if he'll have enough strategy to make it to the end. I can't wait to see him do some comps though. People laugh about him being a rodeo clown but have you ever played Ole with a bull?
Matthew, 33 Arlington, VA: He's a fantasy football guy. Love. I have a feeling he's going to do well because I've yet to find a bad thing about him. He's just a very likable guy. #SilverFox
Raven, Arkansas: She's a fan of the show, has tried out before. She says she's going to try to quiet down her personality but I don't see that happening. Will be besties forever and ever with Ramses. Will probably hate Cody. Kind of reminds me of Sarah from BBCan, so you never know.
Elena, Dallas, TX: This is a tough one for me. I feel like it could go either way with her. She seems real. She doesn't put on a false sense of "I love everyone and we're all gonna get along great!" but if she takes that side of it too far, she might not get along with anyone. Although, from what I've seen of Cody, maybe these two would be a match......
Mark, 26 Buffalo, NY: Hubba hubba. I didn't realize he had lost so much weight. That actually leads me to wonder if him and Jillian will have something to bond over. He's so adorable! If he goes home early, we riot.
Kevin, 55 Boston, MA: Love that he's a typical father and started off by talking about his kids. He speaks a lot of nonsense though. Either he'll go out early or no one will touch him because they can't figure out what the heck he's talking about.
Alex, 28 California: Ew. Team America? Girl. I was afraid Jessica was going to give Natalie vibes but Alex definitely does. This girl is awful. She puts on the act that she's a superfan and doesn't know who Jeff is? She's already invited herself to come back. Bye.
Megan, 28: Um. I stopped listening and can't remember anything she said. Doesn't bode well.
Josh, 23 Miami, FL: My initial assessment of him stands. He'll be out early. He just said "positive vibes." Fool has no idea what a hashtag is. Also invited himself for all-stars. K.
Cameron, 24 Woodridge, IL: Super smart guy. Possible superfan. Seems to really know his stuff. Definitely not as socially awkward as Ian and Steve were. That will help him out majorly. He literally said that after I typed it. Promise. Oh man. This interview has won him over for me. He's funny! #BBNerdHeard for the win!
Cody, Dallas, TX: Tough guy exterior. Hmm. Wants a strong female to be his ride or die. Obviously doesn't care if no one likes him. If nothing else.... #TeamFunFeeds
Jessica, Los Angeles, CA: VIP concierge. Uh huh. I'm impressed she's a fan of the show. I definitely thought she was a recruit. She says she wants to be the life of the party but I don't get the vibe from her. She's one that could go either way. Crap. She actually had me until she shouted out "America's Favorite Player."
I will say, it's funny how some of my opinions changed based on different interviews. Can't wait for live feeds!!!
