Evel Dick to Co-Host Housecalls Twice a Week
You’ve probably heard some of the stories going around about Evel Dick’s role in the upcoming Big Brother season. Rumors were rampant for a while that he’d be doing everything from hosting the show to actually moving in and harassing the new crop of hamsters. Strangely enough, Dick has become the new Janelle (who has also been rumored to have a significant role in this new season).
When in doubt, go to the source. Dick has posted on his MySpace page that he’s going to be co-hosting Housecalls, along with Gretchen Massey, on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Housecalls, for the uninitiated, is the daily Big Brother talk show that airs live at CBS.com. Episodes are archived all season long, so you can go back any time and watch past shows. The Thursday episodes will feature the most recently evicted houseguests, and personally I can’t wait to see how Evel Dick handles this gig.
Dick also says that he’s having discussions with Showtime to be the host of Big Brother: After Dark. If it’s anything like last season, a couple of weeks into the show the After Dark episodes will greatly benefit from some colour commentary. And commentary from Dick is sure to be colourful!

Big Brother 9: ‘Til Death Do You Part
Well, it looks like we got the theme and lots of the details of the new Big Brother season very wrong. Dirty little secrets? Dirty laundry? Sounded like a good theme, but it’s way off. This season of BB is titled “‘Til Death Do You Part.”
The 16 houseguests, whose photos you can find right here, will be paired up once they enter the house, based on a “love profile” they filled out. The couples, who won’t know about this whole twist right away, will have to live together, sleep together, compete together, and play the game together. They’ll hold HoH as a pair, be nominated as pairs, and be evicted as pairs. Unless this twist is somehow undone or changed mid-way through the game, we’re looking at a shorter season too.
Among the cast are a “bikini barista” who is also a former stripper (Natalie), a 45-year-old self-described “cougar” who is one of Scott Baio’s ex-girlfriends and a former Penthouse Pet of the Year (Sheila), a bi-sexual guy who likes blondes with big boobs and big blond hair or guys who are cut (Joshuah), and a girl with a gambling addiction who claims to have made and lost over $5 million (Allison).
Complicating matters a little is the fact that Jen and Ryan appear to know and like each other already, with a existing relationship prior to being cast on BB. Here’s Ryan’s MySpace Page, and Jen’s MySpace Page. I wonder how this one’s going to be spun.
In sort-of related news, if you’ve never taken a look at some of the paperwork BB finalists have to fill out, this bitter dude has posted most of it for your enjoyment. Apparently he found the pages difficult to read and comprehend, and was aghast at all of the time he’d have to spend cut off from the rest of the world. Has he even seen the show before? Think about it - last year, Amber filled all of those forms out. How hard can they be? (And yes, I’ve read them, and no, I didn’t think they were confusing.)
The official CBS Big Brother 9 site is up, complete with profiles and a house tour. The house might be the best part of this season - it looks like a secluded cabin or something.
