haha, yeah, well, eff it, this is a hijack, a thread hijack!

So after my stunt was foiled, my friend's girl came by, and we were discussing what i was planning on doing, and she flipped out too. She said PETA would go nuts. Now, do you think peta would really care about something like that, I mean, we are talking about goldfish here, stupid like 50 cent goldfish, not a cat or puppy or even a real fish. Am I the only one that thinks this would be funny? Or am I that messed up? lol

Yes, PETA would go mad.

Remember, these are the lovely balanced people who feel that Kentucky Fried Chicken is worse than The Holocaust.

mumsie: I understand that you are still planning on going back to law school. Are you laying the foundation to enter politics?

James: School is the number 1 priority for me right now. I feel that anyone that gets involved in politics at any level has already "entered" the political arena. Politics is a passion of mine. I do want to run for office, but I feel like grass root efforts are so much more meaningful right now. People don't understand the world out there and to often vote entirely on one issue as supposed to the entire platform of a candidate. To me, that's very scary.

mumsie: You are definitely what we can call a strategic player of BB. Did you plan out your strategy prior to BB6, or did it develop as you played the game?

James: You can't develop a strategy prior to entering the house. You don't know who you're up against. You can come up with an "outline" however. Prior to BB6 I knew I wanted to have fun and lie my ass off. So I did, such as lying about being a teacher and such. Viewers forget that we don't enter in that house with friends. Every other Houseguest wants to take $500,000 home and it should be a dogfight.

mumsie: Do you watch Reality TV? If so, who would you consider to be the most controversial reality stars of all time?

James: I do not watch reality TV, because it's not reality. Look at this tool in American Idol that can't sing, dance, or anything and he's still on the show creating "controversy... Sanjaya is the girl's name I think. I enjoy the lighter reality shows like the ones on VH1 and MTV. The Inferno is bad ass and I wish I had the chance to take on those guys. Wes, Derrick and I have become friends and I would love to compete against them and some of the other guys. I tried watching Am Race and was so bored I wanted to die.

mumsie: Here's one of those "what if" questions: In BB6 if "Cappy" would have stayed in the game, do you think you would have had the same influence over Ivette?

James: Yeah, she was pretty much under his spell from day 1. I love Ivette and still talk to her regularly. We partied our asses off in Miami with Beau and Ashlea in March and February. Fun times...

mumsie: We would love to see you and Sarah working together again, any chance of that happening?

James: haha... probably not.

mumsie: We all saw your crossed fingers signal to Sarah, did you have any signals (words or actions) set up ahead of time with any of the AS house guests?

James: No. Will and I talked about code words and such, but when he slipped about his other alliances I knew he was bull****ting me.

mumsie: Some house guests have said that BB is "fixed" to some degree, others swear it isn't. What's your take on that subject? What changes would you make to the game?

James: Obviously I would have more physical challenges; they're the most fun and entertaining. What viewer wants to see us lying in a graveyard or sleeping on a spider web? As to "fixed" think for yourself. The Veto comp my HOH week looked like it was put together that morning. The re-do of the HOH was bogus if you ask me, we had paddles to use in case of a "technical malfunction" but for some reason we didn't use them... hmmmm... What viewers don't realize is that during question and answer comps the questions are made up by the Producers, they can't be planned ahead of time since the questions refer back to happenings in the show, they are made up from what they hear us studying and how they want the show to go.

mumsie: I know something that is near and dear to your heart is Project Angel Food; would you like to tell us more about that? How much has your team raised so far?

James: I have a real soft spot for charity work and do as much as I can. I'm doing a date auction next month with some other reality TV peeps here in Chicago. Our Team, The Angel Mafia, is whooping everyone's ass right now, but I think some ABC team is hot on our tail. What Project Angel Food does is - they deliver food to terminally ill people that can't help themselves. It's something that could affect anyone and everyone at one point in their life.

mumsie: Modeling seems to come naturally for you, when or how did you become interested in it?

James: I was asked about it by my friend's agency, which became my first agency (Wilhelmina in Miami) and decided if they thought I could, then maybe I have a shot. I never had confidence in that area for most of my life so I was really shocked about it. I didn't even date in high school and girls were not interested in me, so I had never thought about modeling growing up, never.

mumsie: Do you have any interest in acting? How about poker? You would make an awesome opponent at the poker table.

James: No real interest in poker, acting maybe. I think I'm probably past that stage in my life however. I need to finish school and stop going on reality shows every summer.

mumsie: You are now and have always been very accessible to your fans which is appreciated, but how hard is that on you?

James: Not really. I don't see it as having fans. With the internet age it makes it easier to communicate with everyone. And of course everyone to communicate with me as well. Even the ones that still hate me...

mumsie: To get really personal for a minute, what's your favorite junk food?

James: Snickers w/ Almonds

mumsie: And finally, what's next for James Rhine?

James: Not even I know that... I will be in LA from the 21st through the 26th hanging with the reality friends... should be a good time.

Recently we had the opportunity to interview Howie Gordon, perhaps one of the best known to ever appear on the CBS Network show "Big Brother". We were interested in finding out what Howie was currently doing, his future plans, and what applicants for Big Brother 8 might be experiencing as they tried to follow in his foot steps.

TVGrapevine.com: For the benefit of your many fans, what is happening in your life now?

Howie Gordon: Since BB-7 I have appeared at birthday parties, filmed commercials, TV shows and had a part in a movie (Sunset Society). I played a gangster vampire. I was Ron Jeremy's nephew! This movie was non-porn! LOL! I filmed a show last month that should be airing by September. The show is called MyNextWingMan involving guys going out and hitting on babes and then getting corrected and shown what the proper method is! It was a lot of fun. To find out more information, then just log onto www.howiegordon.com. LOL! Now, I am promoting some products (drinkables) and traveling the SouthWest and the Pacific NorthWest! Tons of fun!

TVGrapevine.com: Where do you see your future taking you?

Howie Gordon: I would like to be a TV Host and eventually becoming a Meteorologist! My future will be too great for people to control! LOL!

TVGrapevine.com: Big Brother just finished their city by city cattle calls and will be beginning their Hollywood interviews this week for those they liked during the cattle calls. What will the Big Brother Applicant be faced with?

Howie Gordon: I saw Big Brother recruiting some people in Seattle. I think they are still doing some cattle calls, and the Hollywood interviews don't take place until the end of May! I think? If an applicant is asked to travel to LA for the Finals then he or she had better have some vacation or sick days to spare because it could go 10 or 11 days? If someone has reached this point, then the Producers are very serious about finding out more about this applicant then what is just there on paper! Big Brother wants to know what this person would be like with millions of people watching! From hardcore producer question drilling, physical exams, psychological exams and hours of that scan tron crap!

TVGrapevine.com: Do they fly economy?

Howie Gordon: The Finals to LA is economy. Unless your name is Kaysar, Janie or Dr. Will! LOL! Oh yeah, or James VETO!

TVGrapevine.com: What sort of hotel do they stay at?

Howie Gordon: Sheratons's, Hilton's, Holiday Inn's and Radisson's!

TVGrapevine.com: Do the many applicants meet each other during the process?

Howie Gordon: The applicants will see each other but there is not any communication allowed between the applicants or they will be sent right home and NO Big Brother for them! Some meals, weight room time, pool scene and passing in elevators are part of the process. But you better keep your mouth shut or

you traveled to LA for NOTHING!

TVGrapevine.com: What is the actual interview like?

Howie Gordon: The applicant sits in a chair against the wall while facing about 13 producers! They want to get to meet the real you! They ask you all sorts of life questions, and then want to hear them answered honestly! They told me I had no discipline! And then I threw some Howieisms at them and some of them fell out of their chairs!

TVGrapevine.com: Once the interview is complete, does the applicant have any idea if they will make the show?

Howie Gordon: The final decision is still a few weeks away at this point! But I knew 2 minutes into my interview that I was going on BB-6! It is like that job interview that goes well or that girl you meet and nothing can go wrong! I hit every question the producers threw at me right out of the ballpark! I had 3 producer meetings, but I knew right from the get go! It didn't hurt that the casting producers kept telling me that they (The Producers) loved me.

TVGrapevine.com: When do the applicants find out they are going in the house?

Howie Gordon: I got the call with Rachel (for BB-6) on June 10, 2005 that we were moving into the BB House! I sent my tape in April 8, 2005. Got an email 10 days later that they wanted to see me in Miami (I was living in Boca Raton at the time) for the semifinals! Then they said I would probably get a call in two weeks to tell me that I was gonna go to LA for the Finals! I got the call 4 days later and was in LA by May 19, 2005! June 10, 2005 I knew I was in and then moved in July 4, 2005!

We would like to thank Howie Gordon for his precious time and patience in allowing us to intereview him.

Look forward to www.tvgrapevine.com publishing other interviews from Big Brother's past house guests. TVGrapevine.com will be the place to be for Big Brother 8.
