CBS has posted the cast of Big Brother 10 on its website and I must say that I’m excited. There is the potential for so much conflict and for honest, intelligent conversation because these people are educated and, for the most part, hold down real jobs. They didn’t cast this season in the local bars.

There is Dan, the Michigan State graduate who is a teacher at an all-boys Catholic high school. He says he’s conservative and would have moved out of the country if Sen. Hillary Clinton had won the election. He also speaks disparagingly of tattoos and piercings. He will probably clash with Ollie, the son of a Pentecostal preacher, on religious grounds and with quite a few of the women on ideological grounds, especially Libra, the strong female type that’s a staunch Sen. Obama supporter.

Ollie, the preacher’s son, doesn’t smoke, drink, or curse. That should make him stand out like a sore thumb. He also played college football at Iowa State, so he may have a few "discussions" with Nebraska fan, April, and maybe the Florida football fans in the cast too. Our religious duo should also have conflict with Steven, the gay rodeo cowboy who thinks that he’s a good people manipulator.

Speaking of April, her favorite activities are watching sports, grilling outside, bowling, and having sex. That should make her pretty popular with most of the single guys in the house.

There are actually a couple of other women who profess to be sports fans in addition to April: Angie is a University of Florida grad and a big Gator fan; Libra played college volleyball at Rice; and Michelle, a runner, is also a sports fan. I don’t know if Renny, the 53-year-old New Orleans socialite, is a sports fan, but she was chosen as a New Orleans Saints dancer in 1977.

There is the requisite eye candy in the house, too. For the women, there is Jesse, the 22-year-old body builder, and what a body he has. He describes himself as personable, confrontational, and as a flirt. For the guys, there is Keesha, the 29-year-old Hooter’s girl. She’s a member of PETA and doesn’t eat red meat. That ought to spark some conversation.

The final three houseguests: Brian, the Air Force veteran, who’s also a college football fan and has his own relationship with religion; Jerry, the 75-year-old great-grandfather; and Memphis, the mixologist, who is NOT a bartender. Memphis also went to Florida State and could have some good-natured ribbing with Angie.

My sentimental favorite right now would have to be Jerry. He not only represents the geezers, he’s also a die-hard Big Brother fan. He has watched every season and not just the shows; he also watches the Real Player live feeds and Showtime’s Big Brother After Dark. He’s been married 54 years and his wife has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

All in all, this looks to be a very satisfying cast on Big Brother 10. We have only a few more days to wait until the premiere. Check out the full biographies on the CBS Big Brother website and come back here and post your impressions. Catch y’all later.
