*Lights illuminate large stage and out walks the tall and beautiful, Charlotte Morris (presenter for Big Brother: BTB) The crowd erupts in a cheer*

image

image Charlotte: *smiling* Good evening everyone! Tonight we will undergo the ultimate social experiment, where twelve individuals will be placed into a house under the watchful eye of and discretion of an entity known as Big Brother.  Housemates will be at his command all for your viewing pleasure.  Each week, the housemates will nominate each other, engage in tasks, other and ultimately you’ll decide who reigns supreme!

*crowd cheers*

image Charlotte: We had a wide array of personalities entering the house this evening.  Let’s meet our first guinea pig!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

GISELA
image

“Hello, I’m Gisela 29 from Miami!  I would describe myself as simply fiery. (clip of Gisela dancing).  I love hard, talk loud, and am a very passionate individual.  I think that I’m going to last the duration.  It’s important to be loved on the inside of the house as well as the outside.  I’m hoping my personality shines through, but I’m no angel (winks).”

*Gisela exits a chartered car to moderate applause, she is wearing a gold dress.  She approaches Charlotte*

image Charlotte: Pleasure to meet you.  Are you indeed a She-wolf?
imageGisela: I just might be. *laughs*
imageCharlotte: Do you have any expectations for this evening?
imageGisela: Hopefully a nice champagne waiting.
imageCharlotte: I can’t confirm anything, but I think you’ll be pleased at the alcohol selection for opening night! Off you go!*Gisela smiles and waves at the crowd and makes her way up to the house* 
_IN THE HOUSE_
Gisela looks somewhat bewildered and takes a deep breath and runs directly to the champage.
imageGisela: Should I wait for the others? …. Nah. *pours herself a glass*


_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________*Crowd Laughs*



imageCharlotte: They say, two’s company, right?  Let’s see who we have next!


*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*
OWEN
image“Hi, I’m Owen.  (clip of Owen in his flight attendant uniform with planes flying by plays).  I think that I can bring a little sassiness into the Big Brother House.  At least in a playful sense.  I am very conscious of others and I wouldn’t want anyone to be left out.  Either way I’d like a good bitching session against some of the more grumpy housemates *fake maniacal laugh*”
 *Owen exits the vehicle to applause.  He is wearing a red blazer with navy trousers*
imageCharlotte: Very dapper! How are you feeling tonight, Owen?
imageOwen: Oh I’m great, this is the beginning of something potentially life changing!
imageCharlotte: Yes indeed!  Is there anything interesting, you’ve packed in your case?
imageOwen: 20 pairs of slip on shoes, I can’t tie shoes.  I also brought 63 pairs of underwear.  For me, underwear should be a disposable situation.
imageCharlotte: *laughing* Well off you go then!*Owen high fives some people in the crowd before finally making his way into the house.*
 _IN THE HOUSE_
imageOwen: *squeals* You’re so beautiful.  Hello!
imageGisela: Oh, hehe.  Hi, I’m Gisela.  Nice to meet you! I’ve already poured a glass of champagne.
imageOwen: We’re going to be fast friends, I like your style. I wish we had shots or something.
imageGisela: *laughing* Yes! Let’s chug the champagne and tell the others Big Brother is a stingy bastard.
imageOwen: Again, I’m liking your style.(The two ultimately don’t drink all the champagne)

 *audience is laughing*
imageCharlotte: Looks like we have two fast friends.  I hope Big Brother doesn’t do something to break anything up this evening *winks* On to the next!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

CJ
image“I’m CJ and I am a girl. *laughs* I hope no one makes a mistake of calling me sir. *laughs* I might have to go back to wearing make-up which makes me shudder.  I have over 20 tattoos.  They all have a story, (shows one) this is my girlfriend as a pin-up model.  She’s really lovely and has helped me through a lot.  I will miss her terribly, but I’m ready to meet some new friends!”*Crowd cheers as CJ comes out of the car, she is wearing a suit with a matching fedora*
imageCharlotte: Hey Ceej! Cool outfit!
imageCJ: Hi, nice to see you, you’re beautiful.
imageCharlotte: Flattery will get you everywhere! What type of person would you not one to meet in the house?
imageCJ: A bigot, uneducated caveman.
imageCharlotte:  I can confirm no cavemen were casted during this cycle, so you’re safe girl. Head on inside!*Crowd continues to cheer as CJ heads inside*
 _IN THE HOUSE_
imageCJ: *nervously walks in*
imageGisela and Owen: Hello!
imageCJ: Hi, I’m CJ.
imageGisela: Would you like some wine, girl?
imageCJ: No, I’ll wait for the others.  Thanks though.
imageOwen: *grins* Oh God, we’re bad aren’t we drinking this all?
imageCJ: No, no. I’m sure it’s cool, I just don’t want to get carried away.
imageOwen: Oh, gotcha *pours another glass*

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: Ooh so it begins.  Yo, Owen and Gisela! Chill out on the champagne and wine. *sticks out tongue* Here’s the next one!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

NICHOLAS 
image“(Nicholas creeps out from behind a tree in a clown costume and then juggles) I get to lvie out my life dream as a clown for tips.  I have developed several skills such as balloon animal crafting that I think will help me in the Big Brother House.  I hope socially, my sense of humor helps out and girls have to love clowns, right? (squirts water from a daisy on his lapel)”
 *Nicholas leaves car in clown costume, some of the audience cheers, while others laugh, and others are baffled*

imageCharlotte: *laughing* Oh goodness, will you be dressed as clown for the entire duration? Please say yes.
imageNicholas: No, I just thought it was a stupid enough gimmick to work.  It is my life.
imageCharlotte: You already perplex me, but I am intrigued.  Clown your way to the house!*Nicholas makes balloon animals for some of the audience before going in*
 _IN THE HOUSE_
imageNicholas: Hello!
imageGisela: (screams) *others laugh*
imageOwen: Hello, is the name Bozzo?
imageNicholas: Nah, (laughs). Nicholas or Nick.
imageOwen: Nice to meet you, I’m Owen.
*the others all introduce eachother, and Gisela confronts her fear of clowns*
imageGisela: I’m sorry, Nick.  Clowns just weird me out.  I thought they were sending John Wayne Gacy in or something(everyone laughs)

 imageCharlotte:  This is getting nice and freaky.  Let’s see how else we can shake it up!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

TANIA
image“Hi, I’m Tania. I’m 24 years old and I’m a model. (Posing in a fashionable dress).  I have been pretty dependent on others my entire life—whether it was boyfriends or my parents, I’ve always needed others.  I’m working on becoming more self-sufficient.  In the house I won’t be Tania. I’ll be Ms. Hart!”
 *Tania exits the car in a red dress with black tights, she looks statuesque and beautiful, she receives several wolf whistles*

imageCharlotte: Wow, you’re gorgeous! What is your biggest fear upon entering the house?
imageTania: To cry.  I know I’ll be the first one to cry, I’m a total baby.  I’m going to be strong though (does a muscle-man pose).
imageCharlotte: I think you can do it Ms. Hart.  You just have to worry about the jealous ones, you’re stunning.
imageTania: Aw, thanks.  Hopefully, that won’t be a factor. I want to create a sisterhood in there, and I’m a total monster in the mornings.
imageCharlotte: Well off you go Ms. Hart.*Tania trips up the stairs into the house but makes a quick recovery*
 _IN THE HOUSE_
imageTania: *saunters in nervously* Hello?
Everyone says their hellos.
imageTania: I tripped coming in, I’m so embarrassed.
imageNicholas: I’m sure no one noticed. I mean I'm in a clown suit for fucks sake.  They were are distracted by your beauty.
imageGisela: Yeah girl, you’re cool. You better take some wine girl, Owen and I have been going crazy on it.
imageNicholas: I wonder if I can get some beer from Big Brother tonight!?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 imageCharlotte: This is quickly becoming an Alcohlics Anonymous, except CJ and new entry Tania, all others have had at least 2 drinks, should make for an exciting night.  Shall we have another?

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

AHMAD
image“Salaam! I’m Ahmad and I’m from Boston by way of Iran.  I think the toughest part of Big Brother will be the absence of my creature comforts.  What’s a man to do without his Lamborghini? (chuckles). I do work very hard for what I have, so I make no apologies.  I don’t like to cook/clean for myself, and I expect there to be someone who will cook and do the cleaning.  I’m going in to meet others but I’d like to supplement my income as well” (laughs)
 *Ahmad exits the car wearing a white suit with a blue shirt, we hear the first boos of the night*

imageAhmad: Ahhh! (laughs) Be nice!
imageCharlotte: Ahmad, nice to meet you.  What do you make of the boos?
imageAhmad: Jealousy, it’s an ugly trait.
imageCharlotte: Oh I see.

*Boos get louder**Ahmad goes into the house looking uncomfortable, but tries to play it off by laughing*
 _IN THE HOUSE_
imageAhmad: Hello new family!
imageTania: Hello, pleased to meet you. I’m Tania.
imageOwen: Hi I’m Owen, what’s your name?
imageAhmad: Ahmad.  You’re already quite drunk, huh?
imageOwen: Who me?! *busts into laughter* No. Do you want some?
imageAhmad: Pfft. I don’t drink.
imageNicholas: Nice to meet you Ahmad.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: Awkward! Another?
*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

OLIVIA
image“I’m a total girly-girl. I love my make-up, small-dog, shoes. *squeals* I’m, like, looking forward to being on TV.  Some people might think I’m dim or a little ditzy, but I’ll fool them! Big brother will be cake. I’ll befriend the girls unless they’re jealous cows.  The boys (laughs) that’ll be easy for me to manipulate them. Bring it, Big Brother!
 *Olivia exits the car in a printed pink party dress to a mixed reaction, she seems a little shocked*

imageCharlotte: We have a confident one, don’t we?
imageOlivia: *bats eyes* Yes, indeed, Charlotte.
imageCharlotte: Do you have a gameplan?
imageOlivia: It’s a secret.
imageCharlotte: Ooh, exciting. Well go meet the others!


 _IN THE HOUSE_
imageOlivia: *screams* Hello beautiful people!
imageOwen: *screams and squeals* She’s fabulous.
*The others greet Olivia, Tania seems unimpressed at the new housemate*
imageNicholas: Do you want something to drink?
imageOlivia: Well, I’m only 20, duh. I’ll need a cucumber water or something.

**Gisela, Tania, and CJ sneak off**
imageCJ: She thinks it’s the Ritz Carlton or something.
(Gisela laughs)
imageTania: Oh God, I know. Her voice is irritating.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: And let the bitching commence.  It’s getting good.  Next!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

JOACHIM
image
“I used to be in a rock band.  These days, life has been so-so. Construction work. The like. Horrible ex-wife. I need something to kind of break me out of a funk I’ve been experiencing.. I’m a nice guy, genuine guy.  It’d be nice to make a few friends. (shows Joachim with daughter) Ana, my daughter, is the most important thing in the world to me. It’s all for her.”
 *Joachim exits the vehicle to cheers from the audience*

imageCharlotte: Welcome Joachim!
imageJoachim: Hi there!
imageCharlotte: What prompted you to join BB?
imageJoachim: To be completely honest, this is a mid-life crisis move.
 imageCharlotte: At least you’re honest, go on in!

 _IN THE HOUSE_
*Joachim enters and introduced himself to everyone*

imageOlivia: JWA-KEEM? What a cool name!
imageJoachim: If you have any difficulty, you can just call me Joe.
imageOlivia: I wanna call you Jwa-Jwa.
imageJoachim: Ok. *bugs eyes out at others*

*CJ and Owen chatting in the corner*
imageCJ: What do you think so far?
imageOwen: New guy, Jwa-jwa is cute. I likeolder dudes.
imageCJ: (laughing) I doubt they’d put anymore gays in here.
imageOwen: You never know!
imageCJ: What about that Olivia?
imageOwen: Awh, I think she’s funny.
imageCJ: Or annoying. Cute but annoying.
imageOwen: Be nice. What about Ahmad?
imageCJ: He’s been quiet the whole time.(Camera pans to Ahmad looking around)
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: Our next housemate is a boy with a girl’s name. *snickers*

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

PAULY
image“I’m from Jersey, but as far as you’re concerned it’s Long Island.  I am devout Roman Catholic and my mom is going to kill me for missing mass for such a long time.  Because I’ll last the duration.  I believe in the golden rule, but that doesn’t make me weak.  I refuse to be manipulated."
 *Pauly exits car dressed very casually*

imageCharlotte: Hey Pauly!
imagePauly: Charlotte: It’s an honor.
imageCharlotte: So what’s wrong with Jersey, I’ve got roots there!
imagePauly: Oh, nothing! Nothing at all. It’s just better for my image to be from NY!
imageCharlotte: You are ridiculous, you’ll be in good company. Go check out the house!

_IN THE HOUSE_*Everyone greets and exchanges names with Pauly*
imagePauly: Dude I like the clown costume, I almost wore the same thing.
imageNicholas: *laughs* Well, you know. It’s part of the image. You wanna drink bro?
imagePauly: Yeah!
*Gisela and Owen are dancing salsa*
(Ahmad and Joachim watch)
imageAhmad: These kids are already wasted.
imageJoachim: Good on them, they’re having fun.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: I like that there is already a little drama. Let’s shake it up once more.

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

MELODY
image
“People ask me what I am all the time. I call myself Blindian, or a Black Indian. It’s been tricky to identify with both, but I listen to hip-hop and I don’t eat meat. (laughs) It’s the best I got.  I would describe myself as genuine and vivacious.  I think I want to get to know the others on a personal note, but I don’t want to take life so seriously.  It’s a game show.”
 *Melody exits vehicle looking very trendy, the crowd cheers*

imageCharlotte: How are you, lady?
imageMelody: Great! I was expecting boos.
imageCharlotte: Our crowd is very fickle, they’ll turn on you.
imageMelody: (laughs)imageCharlotte: Get out while you still can!

 _IN THE HOUSE_
(Melody walks in and introduces herself to everyone)
imageMelody: They have the right idea (referring to the dancing Gisela/Owen) Where’s the liquor?
imageJoachim: The dining room..  here let me direct you.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: Alright, now here’s our penultimate housemate!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

LOUIS
image“I am the essence of New Orleans.  Born and raised Creole, I speak French with my grandparents and fish for crawdads on the weekends.  I am easy-going but I do have a temper and I like to use a swear word here or there.  I am a top chef in New Orleans and will battle for kitchen privileges.  Let’s get this show on the road.  Adieu, New Orleans, Salut Big Brother House*”
 *Louis exits the vehicle wearing his chef’s uniform and plays to the crowd*

imageCharlotte: Hi Louis! If you were to cook me your specialty what would it be?
imageLouis: Cajun-spiced gumbo, darling!
imageCharlotte: You are the winner in my books.  Go impress the others Chef Rousseau.

 _IN THE HOUSE__
(Louis introduces himself to the others).
imageLouis: Chef Louis in the house!!!!
imageMelody: I’m starved, cook something up. (laughs)
(They go check the fridge only to find Big Brother has locked it)
This is Big Brother, will Melody and Louis, please eat the hors doeurves provided.(Melody and Louis bust out in laughter) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

imageCharlotte: *laughing* Final guest!

*Video Tape plays on Large Screen*

TESSA
image“I thrive on people who are unique.  Those who challenge me.  Maybe, I’m making the biggest mistake of my life, joining this vapid program.  Maybe it won’t be so bad. I made 11 bracelets for the other housemates maybe that will butter them up. (chuckles) I will totally miss DIY and my cats.”
 *Tessa exits car wearing a retro style dress*

imageCharlotte: Did you make me a bracelet, Tessa,
imageTessa: No, I’m so embarrassed.  I’ll tell you what, I’ll give you one of the 11 I made.
imageCharlotte: *listens to earpiece* Yes, please do so.  I just got a message from big brother.  He is already wanting you to perform a secret mission. Are you in?
*crowd cheers*
imageTessa: Oh goodness, I don’t know. *Gives Charlotte bracelet*
imageCharlotte: I’m just doing BB’s dirty work.  He says, that you ware to give the remaining 10 bracelets to housemates you wish to be safe from eviction this week, leaving one housemate out.  That housemate will automatically be up for eviction.
imageTessa: Oh my… I don’t know…
*Growd chants “Do it, Do it”*
imageCharlotte: If not, I can give you this bracelet back, and you’ll self-nominate yourself.  The good news is, you may talk about the task with the other housemates, but you are not obligated.  You could tell as few or as many as you want.
imageTessa: Oh, no.. I can’t… Um. *pauses and looks around at crowd who are encouraging* Okay, I’ll nominate one of the others.
imageCharlotte: Good choice, Tess. Off you go, choose wisely.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_IN THE HOUSE_*Tessa nervously enters and is greeted warmly by the others.  She trades names with the others*
imageMelody: How was it out there?
imageTessa: Good, here take this, I make jewelry.
imageMelody: Oh it’s beautiful.  Did you make one for all the girls?
imageTessa: Uh, yes.
imageMelody: You alright?
imageTessa: Who else deserves my jewelry?
imageMelody: Girl?! Deserves? *laughs* It ain’t Bulgalri.
imageTessa: No, no.  You don’t understand, this jewelry represents safety from eviction this week.  I have 6 men’s and only 4 women’s jewelry left.
imageMelody: Oh I get you now, girl.  Shit! Yo, save the Latin girl, and the gay guy.  The chef too.  The others I don’t know too well.
(some time passes: Gisela, Nicholas, Owen, and Tessa are outside)
imageTessa: Here. Gisela and Owen. *gives them bracelets*
imageGisela: Oh thanks, it’s awesome.
imageOwen: *puts bracelet on* Thanks!
imageNicholas: Don’t you think that’s a little rude not to offer me one, Tess?
imageTessa: Oh right.  *hands one over* You see, I have a secret mission.
imageNicholas: Huh?
imageTessa: Yeah, anyone who I don’t give a bracelet to, is nominated.
imageNicolas: Woah, have you thought about who you’d leave out?
imageTessa: Not really. I don’t even know everyone’s name.
imageGisela: Girl, leave out either Blondie Olivia or the Middle Eastern dude.
imageOwen: No Gisela! Olivia is nice!
imageNicholas: Yeah don’t give one to Ahmad. 
imageTessa: Okay, thanks for your help guys.
 
TESSA: DIARY ROOM: This whole thing is really overwhelming and frankly unfair.  I mean, I have been just giving out bracelets.  I haven’t had time for any true bond to occur.  After talking to Gisela, Nick, and Owen. I’m between either leaving out Ahmad or Olivia.  Neither have really clicked with the rest of the house. I would rather give Ahmad a chance though, because you can fix quiet you can’t fix annoying.
 
*Tessa exits*
imageOlivia: I hear you have jewelry! I want a pink one.
imageTessa: Erm, I don’t know. I only have so many….
imageOlivia: Aw, come on, give me one!
imageTessa: *begrudgingly hands one over*
(Tessa later gives jewelry to Joachim, Pauly, Tania, CJ, and Louis.. Leaving Ahmad as the housemate without a bracelet)

BIG BROTHER: Housemates, this is big brother.  Will you all please gather in the living room?  Tonight, Tessa was given a secret task.  Prior to entering the house, Tessa made bracelets for all housemates.  She was instructed to present all housemates except one with a bracelet, consequently, the one left out would be the first housemate up for eviction.  The housemate left out was….
 
Ahmad!  Therefore he will face the public vote.  The other housemate facing the public vote will be determined by you all in 3 days.”

 
*Ahmad looks sick*
imageAhmad: What did I do to you? (Directed toward Tessa)
imageTessa: I feel awful. It wasn't meant to be like this...
imageAhmad: Did you all know, is this some joke?
imageLouis: No brother, we didn’t. I’m sure she felt pressured..
imageJoachim: Yeah, yeah cheer up.  It’s going to happen to us all.


_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 imageCharlotte: Okay, so there you have it.  A jam packed launch night!  We already have one housemate on the guillotine.  Let’s recap who we’ve met: Latina Gisela, Fabulous Owen, Feminist CJ, Nicholas the Clown, Down-to-Earth model Tania, Unlucky Ahmad, Bubbly Olivia, Single-dad Joachim (Joe, or Jwa-Jwa if you prefer), Mama’s boy Pauly, Sassy Melody, Chef Louis, and Jewelry-maker Tessa.  What a fabulous night.  Stay tuned for tomorrows daily show, where the housemates react to Ahmad’s nomination, and what will happen in three days, when housemates must nominate someone to join him.  Until then. *blows kiss*
