Big Brother 8 Introduces Us to EvelDick

Big Brother 8 just premiered with 14 new house guests. I've watched all seasons of Big Brother except the first year. Outside of last years All-Star show, it took me a lot of time before I even knew who was who, or who I would be cheering for to win, let alone their names. Not this year!

In anticipation of this season of Big Brother I went to my favorite forums on line to read what kind of inside scoop was being said. The most talked about player was Dick AKA Evel Dick. Some fans talked about a twist, or twists they'd like to see. Doesn't matter to me, since the twists that CBS puts out never really contributed to my viewing enjoyment. The twists seemed to fail miserably. I don't think years twist in the game will be that interesting, except that it brought Evel Dick to the Big Brother house because his estranged daughter is there. (The twist is there are three people in the house who have an enemy or unfinished business).

So who is my new favorite house guest? He's a rocker-type dude in his 40's. He's a cross between Tommy Lee and Keith Richards looks-wise. He has the tattoos, he has the hair and the attitude. He is a huge fan of the show Big Brother, he tried to be on it before. He is known as a regular poster in Big Brother forums on the web. It's been explained that he wanted the screen name 'Evil Dick', but that was taken, so that''s how he ended up with the moniker Evel Dick. I actually like that better, adds more character.

Seems EvelDick is a fan of one of the best and most popular players ever - Dr Will Kirby. Dr Will was on Big Brother 2, and won, and went onto to Big Brother All-Stars last year and ruled the house. During All-Stars, Dr Will received the nick-name of Dr Evil. Dr Evil had many strategies to stay in the house, one was to make yourself look like a target. EvelDick is already doing the same. After all, his daughter is in the house, he's older and very different from anyone else there. Oh, this Evel one is playing the game. He knows the game!

The Big Brother sites on the web are all buzzing about EvelDick. The buzz is mostly favorable. We watch to the show to be entertained. We view blogs and sites to share and talk about the show. The show just premiered and everyone is talking about EvelDick. Yes, he smokes, farts, cusses, spits and was drinking beer at the early hours while everyone was sleeping - but oddly that is entertainment.

I do not get the live feeds, but many on line sites have posters who do and report all the goings on. My favorite for getting the scoop on the live feeds is Jokers. Jokers is very up to date and you can refresh the page. Jokers also has a live 'discussion' area which is great, especially fun to read while watching the show.
TV Clubhouse also has a strong Big Brother following. The one thing I like about their site is they put up screen caps from the live feeds, so you get a picture to see what is going on during the live feeds. They also have a funny 'caption this' area which is scene caps that witty posters make comments on.

Last, but not least is the Big Brother area on Survivor Sucks. This site is basically for those to say and do what they want. Posters cuss and comment without fear of monitors. It's a threaded forum, and threads can be about anything. There are threads for those who love a house guest, and threads to post your hate.
Interesting is that EvelDicks son is posting on Survivor Sucks. He's verified himself, and it's been my favorite thread. My second favorite thread there is the Photochop thread. This is a very creative area. Pictures and screencaps of the house guests are photoshopped into themes that follow their personality they are showing. Some photochops might show a house guests face being put on a famous movie poster, or cartoon character. You really just need to check it out yourself. Very creative!
