Let's meet our first two housemates! Ryan's thoughts: I think there's a lot of pressure in being the Janelle of a BB Series, and this is no different. Janelle has a lot to live up to because of her character, but I think she's up for the challenge. I definitely agree with Janelle's insight that to win BB, you have to be a jack of all trades. I think she could have the perfect balance of social, strategic and physical gameplay. I definitely see Janelle going deep into this game, but something tells me that just like the real Janelle, she won't be able to make it all the way to the end. Prediction: Late Jury. Ryan's thoughts: I love Ivette. I think she is going to be a really fun personality and bring a lot to the show's episodes. However, that being said, is she going to be the mastermind of the season? Probably not. I definitely think Ivette has some game, but I'm not so sure we'll be seeing her making it past the halfway point. Of course, she could prove me wrong, as I have a feeling she'll have a stellar social game. Prediction: Early jury.

Let's meet two more Ryan's thoughts: I think Alec can fly on the radar for a little bit. I have a feeling he'll be underestimated by others. However, with that being said, I do think that he and his partner may be overestimating themselves. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised to see this pair split up quite early. However, between the two, my guess is that Alec will last longer, and I could definitely see him making it to the jury stage. I can't imagine him winning though, even if he does happen to make it deep in the game. Prediction: Early jury. Ryan's thoughts: I think Peter has potential, but his application wasn't too strong, and may not have been enough in a season with a higher application rate. However, he's here now, and has just a good a chance as everyone else. Unfortunately, I think he may have a bit of an ego that will get him into trouble. I can't see him outlasting his partner, much less the other housemates. Prediction: Pre-Jury.

Time for another two housemates! And now we've got our Australian pair Ryan's thoughts: I think Sam&Layla are a very solid duo and will work extremely well together. Sam seems very level headed and clearly knows how to approach the game. His strategy to stay UTR at first and then pick it up as the game goes along is smart, but I wonder if having a partner will make people want to split him and Layla up early, since they're both very solid players. As long as he's able to stay out of the limelight at first, I definitely think Sam will develop into a comp threat. The only question is for how long can he keep it up? Prediction: Mid-Late Jury. Ryan's thoughts: I'm very excited to see Layla in action. I think she's going to play a huge role in how this season plays out. I see her as a double threat in that she'll be a good player and very entertaining for episodes purposes. On top of that, she has a very solid backup in the form of her partner Sam. And, since Sam will most likely be seen as a threat later in the game, Layla will probably be able to outlast him despite being more outspoken. I don't think Layla will win it all, but I wouldn't be entirely surprised if she did. Prediction: Late-Jury/Finalist.

This next duo seems a bit like a mismatch to me... Ryan's thoughts: Okay, let's just be honest here. Eric's application sucks and is obviously the worst of the entire cast. He got lucky that A) His partner submitted a strong application and B) selections were limited due to low levels of applications. However, does that mean I think he'll be the worst housemate in the actual game? Absolutely not. From seeing him in other games, I can guarantee that Eric will set off some fireworks in the house. He definitely has an ego and let's it show, which will tank his game but be fun for us to watch. However, that being said, I think he'll be a bit of a burnout character. He'll be good for entertainment for a couple rounds, but he won't last much longer than that. Prediction: Pre-Jury. Ryan's predictions: Chima is one of my pre-game faves for sure. I think she'll be UTR for a little bit at first, but as soon as she hits the block, bam, the fireworks will go off. Chima has the potential to be a huge comp threat in addition to a psycho hilarious character and a good strategist all in one. She's definitely going to contribute a lot to the season, but I think she's the hardest one for me to predict in terms of placement. I could see her exploding and going early, or comp whoring her way to the jury. I hope she makes the jury stage, but only time will tell how it plays out. Prediction: Pre-Jury.

Now it's time for the most iconic duo of the season... Ryan's thoughts: I think Will is a VERY dynamic player. And much like I said with Janelle, playing as Will puts a lot of pressure on you to live up to expectations. I don't know if Will can be the true #1 mastermind of the season, but I do expect him to be extremely crafty and maneuver his way to the end. However, once he gets to the halfway point of the game, I think there's a strong chance that bigger power players will take him out. That being said, it's a tough call, as I can also definitely see him beating the odds and making it to the end. Who knows how it will play out. Prediction: Mid-Jury. Ryan's predictions: I like Boogie, but I don't know how well he'll mesh with the rest of the cast. I think he's the type to be very upfront and cause drama early on, which will be great for us to watch but trouble for him and his partner. That said, I unfortunately see him being an early casualty. I hope I'm wrong, but I think he'll be leaving Will to play on his own for most of the game. Prediction: Pre-Jury.

Just 6 housemates to go! Who's up next? Ryan's thoughts: Elissa's app actually isn't ~flawless~ as she says But I think she will be decent entertainment wise. Gameplay wise? Not expecting much from her tbh. I think her strategic game will actually be pretty good. Physical game, I could see her excelling in as well. But social game, I expect her to fall pretty flat. I don't think she'll be very well liked, which is very bad news in the Big Brother house. Prediction: Pre-Jury. Ryan's thoughts: I think Helen is a VERY strong contender. She is what you call a jack of all trades, master of none. Her social, strategic and physical games are not spectacular, but they're all pretty good, and that's what it takes to be a good Big Brother play. I am slightly worried that Helen may overplay her hand at first, but as long as she can keep it cool the first few weeks, I see her going very far into the game. However, I honestly think her partner may screw her over, as Elissa doesn't seem to be much of a team player. As long as she can outlast her partner, I see Helen doing well. Prediction: Mid/Late Jury.

Just 2 duos to go, and now it's time to meet who Brian has already declared his fave new housemate Ryan's thoughts: Nick is going to be a really fierce competitor as well as a great character. He's going to be a very strong social player at first, but as soon as he's pissed off, all his hatred for everyone will come bubbling to the surface. I definitely see him and his partner, Sallie, being the OTTN duo of the season. They'll probably be the villains that the housemates hate but that we love I really really hope he goes far, but I think him&Sallie won't be able to last together to the jury stage of the game. Prediction: Pre-Jury orrrr Early Jury Ryan's thoughts: I love love love Sallie <3 I think she's probably my fave of all the housemates and I really hope she does amazing in this game. She's going to be absolutely hilarious with all her bitchiness and drama. It may seem like someone like her would be an early boot, but I honestly think the house may be too afraid of her and her partner Nick to take her out. Also, I don't think it's too unrealistic for Sallie to win the whole game. After all, Rachel Reilly won BB13, and I could honestly see Sallie having a very similar arch. However, only because I think there's a stronger contender in the next duo, I'm not going to predict Sallie as the winner, but I will put her very close. Prediction: Finalist.

Just two more housemates to reveal! And I think our winner may be among them... Ryan's Predictions: Gary <3 He's so much fun. I think he really chose the PERFECT character to represent him because he'll definitely be life of the party. I definitely think we're going to have some really great moments created by him this season, and he'll be in the game for the long haul. I don't think he'll make it ALL the way to the finale, but he'll get pretty close. Prediction: Mid-Jury. Ryan's predictions: Let me just put this on the record now; Gina will be a star. There's no question about it. She's going to be so entertaining and so amazing for all of us to watch throughout the season. That said, I'm not totally buying what she said on her application about not caring about winning. I believe 100% that she WILL be extremely entertaining as she says, but I know from experience what a killer social game she has and how she can totally run the house from start to end with literally no interference. I think as she gets closer to the end, Gina's competitive edge will take over and she'll crush her competition. Prediction: Winner. Well, that's it for the BBCharm cast! Feel free to share your thoughts in this thread.

Brian I deleted your post but it's nothing you did wrong. It's my fault. I don't really want to include names in these as to either reveal an alias or falsely reveal an alias Keep in mind what you read (I since edited it out) was said by Sallie when she was asking several people to be her partner as she was having trouble finding one.

Understood! And also the memory wall still has 14 spots, and you have 16 people. Are you expanding it or will one duo automatically not enter? And are these duos public?

I decided to expand the cast, but one duo will be evicted at the end of Week 1 (which wasn't the plan originally) to get us back to 14 quickly. The MW will include all 16 housemates though, I just haven't changed that yet And yes, the duos will be public! Which will make all the duos huge targets and I think it's going to be extremely difficult for any duo to last long together tbh. However there will be chances for partners to be swapped within the first 4 weeks so we'll have to wait and see how that comes into play strategy wise. More on the significance of the partners will be posted within the living room later today, although the housemates won't see it until the game officially starts on Friday.
