Ragan: "Look, I know I do cast stones living in a glass house. I do realize that I have been farting... non-stop - I own that, I take it. I realize that some of my craps have been 'less than pleasant'. But you have to understand that this is a symptom of the slop. But have I been terrible lately?" Brit: "No, I think that it was just the slop." Ragan: "Right. Once I got off the slop, once I started being a 'have', I was okay. So, I'm not above it, but there's no need on national television to talk about waking up with vomit all over yourself, clutching onto hundred dollar bills, that you just got from turning multiple tricks in Las Vegas. There's no need to discuss diarrhea coming out of your body, at a party, with a group of businessmen." Hayden: "No. Definitely not." Brit: "Agreed." Hayden: "Now Brit, let's turn to you. What do you think? What's your take on the situation?" Brit: "I think that the rule-of-thumb in the Big Brother house is just to always think "is what I'm about to say classy or not?" And if it is not, you definitely need to rethink the statement. And even if you're gonna say something non-classy, perhaps don't just say anything that would make you look like a giant whore. You know, if you have slightly whore-ish moments that have to come out - you know, one or two accidents maybe - let's not say anything overtly obnoxious. And nobody wants to see your areolas." Hayden: "In my opinion, you need to take the classic "'WWJD' - What Would Julie Do?" approach. If Julie Chen says "yes" - that's acceptable. If she says "let's turn to somebody else" - that's not acceptable." Brit: "And Julie's a witty woman. You know, if a "that's what she said" or some other... sexual pun came up, that might be okay. But what we don't think is okay is when you workout in your bikini and we see you feedle-dop from behind." Hayden: "Another 'no-no' is changing your bikini top in the spa." Brit: "Right." Hayden: "It's great... maybe once, but more than once? No." Brit: "If we have to put your 'nip slips' together to create a breast online, that's... still not acceptable, but better than just exposing them flat out." Hayden: "Back to you, Ragan." Ragan: "I'm going to say that I think that future Big Brother houseguests should strictly abide by Hayden's recommended 'WWJD - What Would Julie Do?' Julie Chen would not expose her areolas in the backyard of the Big Brother house. Call me crazy, and trust me on this, as I'm somebody who Julie Chen regularly finds disgusting - especially on live shows-" Hayden: "-I'll go in and agree on that-" Ragan: "-Julie Chen would most definitely not wear underwear, walking around the house, with her v***** hanging out. I'm just going out on a limb here and saying that that's not Julie Chen." Brit: "Covering your labia is always a good idea. I would say always." Hayden: "Yeah, in most everyday situations, covering the private areas is recommended." Brit: "Absolutely." Hayden: "How about going onto the next topic - the SaboTOE?" Brit: "The Sabotoe." Hayden: "The Sabotoeee." Brit: "Okay, before coming on Big Brother, or any other national television show, a visit to your podiatrist might be in your best interest. If you have some kind of gnarly toe problem, where your toe looks like its own brand of disease-" Hayden: "-If your toenail is flaky, disfigured, off-color-" Brit: "-Or obnoxiously thick-" Hayden: "-Or looks like a broken table ornament-" Brit: "-If it comes personally equipped with its own shield-" Hayden: "-If it's impenetrable even by armor-piercing rounds-
Ragan: "-But really, you can solve this equation by going back to 'What Would Julie Do?' Julie Chen would cut it. Julie Chen, if that was her toenail, would probably have the entire toe removed. She would have toe-replacement surgery." Brit: "I mean, I consider it worse than gangrene. If I were in a situation where it was 'keep that toenail or take off the whole leg'- just take it." Hayden: "Clearly, amputate the leg in this situation." Ragan: "Saw-style. Lock me in a room with somebody, give them the saw, and just say "the only way out of this room is to saw off the entire leg." Hayden: "We have a guest appearance." Matt: "What are you guys doin?" Brit: "We have a talk show. Do you want to come be on it?" Matt: "What's the talk show about?" Brit: "Rules for upcoming Big Brother house guests. Is there anything for next season that you would like to let them know?" Matt: "I don't fully understand it. Lemme sit down here." Brit: "Okay, just have a seat." *Matt sits down* Brit: "Welcome Matt!" Matt: "Thank you, it's great to be here." Ragan: "So we just heard that you lost your pool table title in the Big Brother house. How did that feel?" Matt: "I did, I did. It felt horrible. I think it was unfair. I think that Big Brother's against me." Brit: "Yeah, probably." Ragan: "I heard that there was a small ledge you were playing on." Matt: "There's a ledge- the pool table is catered toward people with bigger feet." Hayden: "Let's set the stage here. Matt is the reigning, back-to-back Big Brother pool table champion. You faced off against Clint (Lane) in the final." Matt: "I did." Hayden: "You were clearly the favorite to win this game." Matt: "Clint wears a size 11. I wear a size 8. I mean, that speaks for itself." Ragan: "So we're gonna catch you up on what's been said on our talk show so you can contribute, because you are our reigning Head of Household. Our show is geared toward people who would like to be contestants on Big Brother in the future, and we're trying to give them rules, tips, things to make gameplay a little more easier for them. So Rule #1 was-" Brit: "-What Would Julie Chen Do?, in regards mostly to areola's, labia, discussions of tequila, vomit, stuff with one hundred dollar bills-" Matt: "-And what have we decided? Ragan: "The rule is-" Brit: "-'WWJD'-" Ragan: "-Right. If you're in a moment where you're thinking 'should I take out my v***** in the kitchen'- maybe stop just a moment and ask yourself "WWJD - What Would Julie Do?" Matt: "That's good advice." Ragan: "So do you think that Julie would expose her-" Brit: "-Genitalia." Matt: "I don't think Julie would do that. I think that, to a future contestant, I would say that exposing your genitalia on the kitchen table is not a sound decision." Hayden: "That's a sound decision when you're at home with your significant other." Matt: "Yeah. I mean, especially when you're in, like, a western region of the country, particularly. Maybe Nevada." Brit: "Maybe Nevada." Matt: "-ish. Generally the four corners." Ragan: "Rule #2. If your toenail looks like this-" Brit: "-This is intoelerable-" Matt: "-That is toetally grotesque-" Ragan: "If you are a saber-toed tiger, would you rather keep this toenail, or would you rather have the entire leg amputated?" Matt: "I toen't know what I'd do in that situation." Ragan: "You have to answer toenight." Matt: "That's something I'll never face."
Brit: "Matt, what rules would you like to give to future Big Brother house guests?" Ragan: "Let's get into your brain." Matt: "Well, I think that for future Big Brother house guests, it's important to recognize that this is a social game, so you want to make sure that you're getting along with other people in the house, and that other people in the house find you affable and likable. So, when you deliver a joke, trying to make people laugh, you gotta make sure that they understand that it's a joke - so you should always have your punchline face on... after telling a joke." Brit: "Good idea. Good idea. That way we know." Ragan: "And every joke that you tell shouldn't come from your own head, they should come from a movie like 'Old School' or 'The Cable Guy'. Really, you can make ALL your jokes come from 'The Cable Guy'. That would be great." Brit: "That's one of the best things you could do for gameplay." Ragan: "But be sure to punctuate your joke with a well-placed-" Matt: "-the punchline face is key, because then other people might not know when to laugh." Brit: "That's right. And on the same token, you may or may not experience terrible, horrific-" Hayden: "-Intoelerable-" Brit: "-Intoelerable jokes from your fellow house guests that are not funny and leave the entire room feeling awkward. So before you come into the house, I strongly recommend working on your fake laugh. Mine goes like this [Rachel imitation]. So that when one of your house guests give you the punchline face, you can go [Rachel imitation], when really, you want to kill yourself." Ragan: "Now this is going with the social game theme. From time to time, you may have a house guest who says something that you disagree with, but a good strategy might be - if you're trying to make friends in the house - isn't to tell them how ridiculous they are for having an opinion that's different than yours - so you may not want to say things after they express their opinion that's different than yours with an "Mhmm, I don't know, you know?" Brit: "It's truly, again, intoelerable." Hayden: "To touch on another topic - when you're trying to make friends in the Big Brother house, it's great to prepare food for others; however, if you're making pancakes in the morning, feel free to leave out the garlic, oregano, parsley-" Brit: "-Vanilla extract, crushed Fruit Loops-" Hayden: "-Paprika, M&M's-" Brit: "-Potatoes, diced rep peppers-" Hayden: "-Because sometimes, people just want pancakes with syrup." Matt: "I also think it's important to-" Brit: "-Sautéed cloves, sliced celery, heads of lettuce, shredded mozzarella cheese-" Matt: "-A weeks worth of chicken-" Brit: "-A touch of yogurt-" Ragan: "Who wants some chicken pancakes?" Brit: "Sometimes the basics are better." Matt: "Also, being a social game, there's oftentimes many personalities in the Big Brother house, so you have to understand that it's important to be able to relate to everyone else. So you need to always come into the house prepared with general topics of conversation that everyone can relate to, like Copernicus, or Hydrogen Ion bonds, or the Laws of Inertia. You know, things that all can converse about." Brit: "Things that everyone can talk about."
Ragan: "Here's another gameplay move that I recommend, that gets the 'Ragan Seal of Approval'. If somebody were to compliment one of your fellow house guests - can we have an example?" Hayden: "My, Ragan, you look good tonight-" Ragan: "-Don't take that as an opportunity to say "Oh yeah Ragan, you do look good tonight. By the way, I was a fashion model for several years, and people used to tell me I look good all the time. In fact, in my high school, I was voted 'Most Likely to Look Good', and I'm one of the best looking people who went there, and, by the way, I used to be really into fashion-" for FORTY MINUTES LONG." Brit: "Sometimes, it doesn't need to be all about you. And I think that one of the best tips I can personally give is when you're coming into the house, you may find it in your strategy to lie about yourself. For instance, lying about your profession. Make sure that you work on the story a few times. Because after attesting you're a swim coach, astronaut-in-training, Red Bull salesperson-" Hayden: "-Sushi chef-" Matt: "-Lawyer-" Britt: "-Science curriculum writer-" Ragan: "-Substitute teacher-" Hayden: "-Stripper-" Ragan: "-A barefoot marathon runner-" Hayden: "-MacGyver-" Brit: "-You might wanna figure out which one or two of those career paths would be best, because... at the age of 30, it'll be a little hard for your fellow house guests to believe that you have spent time dabbling in all of these many career pools. And it just makes you look like a moron." Haydne: "Or like a genius... in Rachel's eyes." Matt: "If you might excuse me, I have to go to my H Toe H room and get more water, so I'll be right back. Thanks for having me on your show." Ragan: "Thank you!" Brit: "Thank you Matt." Hayden: "We'll be talking to you real soon, Matt. Feel free to come back and join the show anytime."
Ragan: "That was awesome." Brit: "That was toetally awesome." Hayden: "What's the name of the show?" Ragan: "'Big Brother Tips'? No, it's gotta be catchier than that." Brit: "Just the Tip'?" Ragan: "Haha, I like it." Brit: "Just the Tip' on Big Brother 12."
How many Just the Tips were there? I remember they did a second one with Lane a few nights later, and I think Enzo showed up on one as well (that might've been the same one though.)
Watching cast videos right now. Kara is sooo boring. JoJo will totally be the b**** of the season. Ian is so awkward, but in a kinda adorable way? Shane's not douchey like I expected, I like him. Jenn's potentially less b****y than I expected. Ashley's, uh... weird. Jodi and Joe are kinda just there. Danielle's pretty cool. Frank's not bad either. Wil could be hilarious or annoying, probably both. Willie... is going to be exactly what you'd expect him to be.

Shane is extremely douchey, are you kidding? Him, Willie, JoJo and Danielle I really don't like off the bat. And Kara to a lesser extent since she seems like she'll do nothing. Joe is ???. Jodi and Frank are okay. Ian and Ashley seem kind of weird, could be awful or good. And Jenn is the only one I really like already, though I have a feeling she won't get too far. Oh right, Wil. I kinda like and hate him at the same time. Another wildcard there.
From the interview I watched on bigbrothernetwork.com, Shane only made one douchey comment, with him seeming like a normal, cool guy throughout the rest of it. Him and Danielle are my early favorites based on those interviews.
