No Big Brother preseason would be complete without the biting Houseguest analysis we’ve come to expect from BB12’s Matt Hoffman and with the Big Brother 18 cast in his hands again this season I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Please welcome the Kathy-Slayer back to BBN and enjoy his take on this year’s newbies. – Matthew Boyer

Welcome loyal Big Brother fans to the most shameful three months of the year! What new depths will we sink to on BB18?…I canโt wait to see! By the time you read this, itโs likely that 30% of the castโs mug shots will have already been leaked on the internet, and another 20% will have been fired from their jobs due to badgering, hateful fans.
In recent years my fellow alumni have been taking quite the stand against talking disparagingly about houseguests before we actually โknowโ them. All of this political correctness sure puts a damper in my yearly fun with Big Brother Networkโฆbut donโt worry, Hoffmanics โ Iโve decided to be here again for those of you who get the joke. So kick back, briefly take the sticks out of your collective asses, and letโs get to the [bum-bum-bummmmm!] 4TH ANNUAL MATT HOFFMAN BIG BROTHER NETWORK CAST ASSESSMENT!!!
(all I had to go off of this time were the CBS.com bios and Jeff Schroederโs brief interview videos on CBS Live, so cut me some slack when Iโm wrong like always)
Bronte D’Acquisto
Make sure the โmuteโ button on your remote control is in full working order, because youโre going to need it all season long with this one. Just watch 10 seconds of Bronteโs video, and no further explanation is required. Bronte lists some of her favorite activities as solving math problems and looking at adoptable dogs (NOTE: adoptable dogs…donโt try showing Bronte your dog if it isnโt available for rescue, because that will really piss her off). When she tells Jeff she is a mathematician, Jeff challenges her with the doctorate-level problem, โwhat is 9×9โ, to which she responds, โ89โ (if you have a calculator or a 2nd-grade education, youโll follow the humor in this).
Bronte thinks she has the whole summer figured out with a โnumbers-gameโ based strategy coupled with lies and psychological manipulation, but she is most certainly over-thinking this and making it all seem too easy. This will ultimately lead to the destruction of her game. How do I know?…because sheโs playing it exactly like some other loser who already tried it.
Paulie Calafiore
And it beginsโฆthe siblings. Dammit. Why, CBS, why?! Paulie is the โbig brotherโ (HAHAHAHAโฆno) of Season 16โs heartthrob Cody Calafiore. Paulie is also a DJ by trade, landing him a secure hold on the title โLeast Successful Reality TV DJ Named โPaulieโโ. When asked if he is going to come clean about who his brother is, he says he isnโt sure. Oh, I should also mention that he looks like Cody, talks like Cody, and has a โCalafioreโ tattoo on his ribs, so keeping hush-hush about his family bond should be a rock-solid strategy if he chooses to impose it.
Will Paulie have the good looks, mundane personality, and home-wrecking tendencies to rocket him into the finals like his brother? We shall see!
Zakiyah Everette
Zakiyah tugged at my super-fan heartstrings right away by saying she has been a fan since Season 3โฆbut after that it was all a blur of boredom. I feel there is some crazy in this one waiting to emerge, but the interview brought nothing out of her. She did say that she teaches three year olds, which will likely put her in familiar mental company once locked inside the house with her new roommates.
Zakiyahโs life motto is โYou only live once!โ, which is an ideology that could cost her Americaโs Favorite votes from all the Hindu, Buddhist, and Hare Krishna Big Brother fans.
Wow, Glenn the Donald Trump supporter is going to love being in there with all those rapist Latina’s. Could be the awkwardness of BB2’s gay bashing Kent and openly gay Bunky. Stay tuned all!
Isn’t Glenn Garcia hispanic himself though?
Really Matt? Did you have to bring politics into it with your Trump remark? This is Big Brother the TV show competition, not Big Brother from Orwell’s 1984.
Let’s leave politics out of it.
Yes, yes he did. And it was funny.
Don’t matter if it’s funny or not, don’t matter if it’s about Hillary or Trump. There’s no need for politics. All it does is piss off half the people.
Wait, I only pissed off HALF the people? Ugh!…I hate a half-finished job. I’ll do better next year. :-/
I thought it was funny as hell….so given the sample pool he only pissed off a third of the people.
Someone mad enough to complain about a “misplaced” political joke has almost assuredly brought up politics when “there’s no need for politics.” #bb18….take off the pants suit, put on some big boy jeans and get over it!
Eh. With Trump, It’s only a quarter of the people, because half of Republicans (including me) hate Trump.
Let me know when you get to the ‘witty’ part of the sarcastic musings.
Probably a bit too HARD for him to do that! hahaha We can help him out here after the fact, can’t we?
so matt thinks paul is the first one out? i actually think he has a good chance of sliding to jury unnoticed…
my first boot choice is natalie
I think Tiffany was messing with Jeff with the whole she is Vanessa’s sister thing.
Jeff isn’t the one she needs to confuse, though! :-)
Zakiyah Everette will be the first one gone if she can’t separate working with 3 yr olds from having adult contact. Or she could start talking gibberish and keep them all guessing. That’s my guess! But my prediction is she may be the first eliminated…just saying. I used to run daycare and when I didn’t get enough adult contact, I started talking baby talk to my husband. That’s when he knew I needed to get out of the house more! LOLOL Hard to do that when you’re stuck inside the BB house! :-)
Matt, I don’t agree with your assessment of Tiffany. She doesn’t have the conversation skills of a pineapple. She seemed very charismatic to me. I’ve watched that interview back to back for 30 minutes. I’m already loving Tiffany, but it probably is due to my love for Vanessa. I do want her to differentiate herself from Vanessa’s game play but if she doesn’t, you can’t really blame her since they are freakin’ related. I hope she does well.
Matt is way too humble! I’d love to see him back on Big Brother in a second compared to this yawnfest of a cast…
