Hello hamster watchers. I'm the non-sleeper of last season's recappers. What's that? Roddy is talking? It's 5am? Has he slept yet? No? Oh, go figure. How damn happy was I to see that pompous windbag slug go? Pretty damned happy.

I will be recapping this year, just not nearly as often. Unless someone sends me loads of coffee to keep me awake, in which case, I'll be awake and recapping, but I won't be happy about it. You see, I now balance three jobs and have taken up sleeping, so my chances to recap are scarce, but I will take advantage when I have time. Which, as usual, will be at night. When all the interesting things happen. Unless we get a group of people that sleep when it's dark and participate in drama when the sun is out.

Oh, and since everyone is stating their sign and some facts about it, I'm a Cancer and here is what they say about me

Cancer, the fourth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about home. Those born under this Sign are 'roots' kinds of people and take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. Cancers are maternal, domestic and love to nurture others. More than likely, their family will be large, too -- the more, the merrier! Cancers will certainly be merry if their home life is serene and harmonious. Traditions are upheld with great zest in a Cancer's household, since these folks prize family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be patriotic, waving the flag whenever possible. A Cancer's good memory is the basis for stories told around the dinner table, and don't be surprised if these folks get emotional about things. Those born under this Sign wear their heart on their sleeve, which is just fine by them.

The mascot of Cancerians is the Crab, and much like this shelled little critter, Cancerians are quick to retreat into their shells if it suits their mood. No wonder these folks are called crabby! For Cancer, it's not that big of a deal, though, since they consider this 'shell' a second home (and they do love home). The flip side of this hiding is that shell-bound Crabs are often quite moody. Further, in keeping with their difficulty in sharing their innermost feelings, it can become a Herculean task to pry a Crab out of its secret hiding place. What to do? Give the Crab time -- eventually these folks will come out to play again. When they do, they'll be the first to say so, in keeping with the Cardinal Quality attached to this Sign. It's said that Crabs are first to laugh and first to cry, so you can bet they'll fill you in. That shell, by the way, isn't the only tough thing about Crabs. These folks are tenacious and strong-willed and like to get their way. If their well-documented kindness and gentleness doesn't do the trick, however, they're not above using emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that still doesn't work, they'll just go back to their shell and sulk, or find a way to get back at the source of their pain, since Crabs can be rather vindictive. That said, any self-respecting Crab would tell you that they are ultimately motivated by protecting their home and loved ones, a most noble goal.

Crabs? Cancer? Seriously, they need to rethink that sign a little. Come on now, it's a strike against us right out of the gate. Most of the first paragraph is bunk (though I do have a remarkable memory for things I feel like remembering). Second paragraph? Well, I've been known to be crabby, moody, tenacious, and strong-willed (read hard-headed).

Not sure what I think of the changes--can't we just have one season where the rules and specs of the game are the same as the season prior? The exes in the house may not be a bad idea (from a drama perspective), but I'm going to reserve judgement (shocking) until we see how the exes interact with each other--do they loathe each other, are they friendly, are they just "on a break", any restraining orders, etc. However, I'm not loving the idea of sequestering the hamsters--I like knowing that everything a hamster says can and will be held against them in a vote to decide the winner. It's like Shapiro decided to rip a page out of the Survivor handbook on this one, and I'm going to get this out of the way early, you know, to cleanse the system--FUCK YOU, SHAPIRO!

Oh, and in the honor of fairness, I have a new account to work with here, so you all have a fair chance at catching up to the number of posts I had last season. Game on.

Hmm, look at that. The ability to drag out a post to the length of a novel hasn't left me since BB3 ended. Just like riding a bike, I suppose.
