And we're back! Well, some of us are going to be back, some of us are going to be new, and some of us just aren't going to make the house this time around. Can I get an 'Amen' on that? Can I get the place burned down before they ever get there?

Once again, we'll be taking on the hamsters by assuming their personalities and having it out with each other in what's supposed to be the privacy of our own threads, but never actually works out that way. We'll also be confusing a couple of people who think the houseguests somehow hacked their way into the system. It's called roleplaying, people. I'm told it would help if we rolled dice, but I have no idea what that means.

Since these are people we've had on previous seasons, the RTVWers who've played them in the past may want to get first claim on their old parts before anyone else does. But there's also future victims who've never had their personalities stolen by us, and they're totally up for grabs...

Right now, the following parts are needed. (I'll edit this section as people sign up.) And yes, we're recruiting for all twenty contestants when only twelve will make it to the cage. If you want to keep your part through the first week of the actual season, start campaigning now.

Casting for:

Alison: Skye
Bunky: (awaiting claim: no original player)
Dana: (awaiting claim: no original player)
Danielle: (awaiting claim: no original player)
Diane: OasisFan
Erika: (awaiting claim: no original player)
"Chicken" George: Flaming Cactus IT
Howie: Newsomewayne
Ivette: Estee
James: UKRocks
Janelle: Ginger
Jase: CanadaGirl
Kaysar: Vince3
Lisa: (awaiting claim: no original player)
Marcellas: ARNutz
Michael (Cowboy): Kingfish
Mike: SurvivorScott
Monica: Das Mole
Nakomis: Lasann
Will: LadyT

We also need a Julie Chen (who will generally be responsible for starting each week's thread), and someone willing to design sigpics for all this so people can readily spot who's speaking. Other parts (like the living room, hot tub, contestant relatives, camera operators, and other bits of furniture) tend to fill themselves in as the season progresses.

Inanimae:

Hot tub: Nailbone
Balcony chair: Bystander
Bathroom mirror: Tough Cookie

As soon as you're signed up and either sigpiced or using an old one until the B.B.A.Stard edition becomes available, report to the first Be The thread and start campaigning for votes.

Who's coming back? Who's mercifully going away? Who will shatter our eardrums in less than three months? You, the viewer, will have absolutely no power to affect the outcome of -- Be The B.B.A.Stard!

But if it helps, you will get to scream a lot.
