I would think that is pretty good training for surviving in an environment where you cannot escape the dip****s.
Also, clearly they cast lots of people who want to get laid. This speaks well of the seasons potential as BB w/o drama is just a bad game. I want emotional blood or I tune out.
Agreed about Vanessa looking like probably the smartest. Didn't watch all of the videos but the one's i did see all seemed dumb except her. She seemed/is smart. She can be annoying at times with her arrogance, but she is a poker player, and that is way smarter than most people that get picked for these shows. They got the jock beefcake dude that has zero brains. They asked him would you rather win the game/money or be loved by fans? He said be loved by fans over the money. The poker dealer said "to be a great dealer you have to be a great poker player first. That great poker players than become dealers" or something close to that. So we know she's dumb. Actually one kid is a nerd and is like this years Ian. He seems/is smart.
I think Vanessa will have a great chance to win as long as they don't recognize her(or be told by the poker dealer) and gang up on her to get her out. Also she can't put people off trying to prove/show how smart she is ala Annie Duke.
I think Vanessa has the potential to make this year good if she stays on the show for a long time. If she gets ousted i fear it will be bad because the others seem like boring and or airheads for the most part. I hope she succeeds and makes shows like this look for poker players in the future. I would love to see Hellmuth on here. I could imagine the houseguests talking behind his back about how obnoxiously arrogant he is.
