Crap...I'm going to have to root for her simply because she's a Jayhawk. Until she embarrasses herself and then this KU alum can freely poke fun at her.
Crap.
Crap.
This is sad. She has only ONE non-FistyHT comment so far?
Cast her among the 'Pretty but No Personality'.
Despite that, she looks a little like Lisa, so I might like her.

Let's hope this lack of interest in posting really means she's NOT a fameho who pimps herself on a MySpace page, like so many others who've given us so much material to work with. I think I'm liking her more already.

Do they have MySpace in Kansas?

Now wait a minute! Kansas has dial up.
She's most likely a rival of the screechy blond from Kansas. I hope Carol eats her during a slop week.

As a Kansas native, I should be highly offended...but damn that was funny!
Interesting note:
Carol says in one the videos that she's 'not there for the money'.
Hmmm wonder what she's there for? And I wonder if that will change once she sees her nemesis JESSICA! Bwah!

Oh, that's standard famewhore disclaimer talk, FMC. It gives them that magic "I was here for the experience" hooey when they get voted out early.
Apparently her father posted at Jokers, and said there's a one in three chance she heads out the door when she finds out who her enemy in the house is. Awesome.
Here's a link to a post by her "father." I think it IS by her dad, because it's so complete--and completely boring--that no one but a parent would post it. He also seems to have posted it because he took offense and people assuming she was a bimbo.

Carol's growing on me. Mostly because Jessica pulled the "Girls hate me because I'm too pretty" card. If Carol hates her, I'm going to assume she has good taste.
Dad's post makes me like the girl now.
And I'll pile on to what swsa says about the anti-Jessica stuff.

I like her, too, I've decided. For one, her dad's a state senator, so I'm betting she won't skank up the house. She also seems ambitious and is interested in higher learning, majoring in finance or business or whatnot. Again, points in my book. And yeah, her adversary Jessica was all full of herself on the video, just on the verge of saying other girls were jealous of her looks, and BLECH to that.
Besides, she might do a dance for my entertainment.
Go, Carol!

I've decided I'm on Team Carol by default, because Jessica's voice makes me want to punch her in the throat.

Hey MrsG! Wassup?!
You know that I've been around the reality fameho block a bit. Wait, that came out wrong. Way wrong!
I've been watching these fameho's since I was knee high to Skippy.... And we all know that so many of reality ho's say that they're not there for the money (but they're just thrilled with the money if they win!!).
But Carol doesn't seem like an airhead slut. Kinda normal, actually.
She sounded pretty sincere to me....but you never know......... she might make me eat my words. Bitch! (covering my ass....just in case.)
BTW, Carol and the alternate, Samantha, might make a good pair, if Samantha makes it in.
She's a cheerleader?
In my experience with Fame Whores, cheerleaders are the worst. Wasn't Alislut a cheerleader? Wasn't Clown Whore! a cheerleader? [And yes I will admit to watching] - Amy from Paradise Hotel was a cheerleader.
It's too bad, I was all prepared to root for the Kansas girl. Even if she was a Jayhawk. (Go Wildcats!)

Based on WWLB's extended videos, I've decided I like her. She sounds shockingly normal. The type of person that most annoys her is the arrogant type (though she didn't name them, it sounded like she was describing Will and Booger), which gives her big pluses in my book.

Thats what I was thinking, about the cheerleading. But as far as everything else she seems alright. Especially if she is Jessica's nemesis.
But I dare say I had Janie at the top of my hate list when I was judging them on their profiles & the like. My husband was so shocked when he witnessed my Jannelle love via me screaming at the top of my lugs when Erica won that damned last comp they had.
Welp, I didn't read anybody's opinions on any of the Hammies until today after I watched the 15 second video clips of all of the contestants.
So, I can honestly say that my completely unbiased-by-others opinion, that she is my early "favorite," for the simple fact that she is the only one of them that didn't say something that annoyed me in her video. Maybe that means she's going to be kind of boring. But, there you have it. Good to see that I'm in good company and that the vibe for her seems to be relatively good here (compared to most of the rest) on HT.
This just proves to me what I already know...people at HT are smarter than the average hamster.

she is one of the least annoying so far. Jessica couldn't come up with anything really bad about her except "she owed me $5?!" I think I hate Jessica already so I agree that Carol wins by default.
She seems calm and even tempered so far. She reacted normally when she lost HOH (do you think she threw it too?) and she was the only one that didn't freak out about the twist. Smack talk is the name of this game so if Jessica is just pissy about some highschool shit-talking then I think Carol has a great shot.

But it was $5, Ubershauna! FIVE DOLLARS!
I think I like Carol - she's hot. And seems kinda sensible. That's important too, of course.
Yeah, I think Jessica is ridiculous, Carol seems like the better half...so far.
From the 8 minutes of feeds that I've seen, I like her. Her voice is so not irritating and that could be HUGE come late August.
could she be our new Kaysar?

I'm with g, Carol is hot and therefore gets the benefit of the doubt by default...
I am on team Carol, she seems like the lesser of two evils. Plus, I dont want to maim her with a pointy object whenever I hear her voice, which I think is a bonus! Hopefully Jessica won't turn everyone against her and get her voted out first!
I might've been a bit quick in my initial hate. She seems to be one of the more normal hamsters. And like the rest of you, my Jessica hatred gives Carol extra points, so Rock Chalk, fellow Jayhawk.
I'm okay with Carol too, mostly because she hates Jessica, but also her normal factor. At least until she starts whoring it up with one of the pretty boys--don't do it Carol, I'm warning you!
*puts on Team Carol jersey*
I like Carol but I haven't seen her do much yet. She's got a cool sporty side and brains to boot.
Unfortunately, she might be the first out. Amber has quite a following.

Best looking of the bunch. Also, Jessica is a fucking bitch. Ergo, I'm on Team Carol, too.
you know what'd be interesting? if Joe won the veto. the hammies seem to think he'd use it (i havent heard him talk about it so i cant comment) but seeing as he's also the person others seem to think kail would nominate if the veto was used... what would Kail do then?
can't we have a dramatic first eviction for once? it never seems to be a close vote because the hammies are too afraid to rock the boat. *sigh*

I really want to like Carol but her little "Jen has no substance because she has big boobs" comment kinda stuck in my craw. It was (hopefully) a joke but it just rubbed me the wrong way. Jen has no substance because she's an idiot and I'm fairly sure chest size has nothing to do with it.
I wonder what Carol would have been like if she wasn't on the mac Week 1? From the first hour in the HT, all this girl did was have a sullen pouty face (on ShoTime, anyway)......for hours!
But when she smiles and laughs, she is soooooo pretty (just saw her smile with Dustin tonight......finally!). Too bad she's forced in a corner. Even worse, she handles pressure and negative situations horribly!! Glum and rolling over playing dead. Not a good sign of growth.
Carol also looks amazingly like Michelle Rodriguez (killed off in Lost). Her sullenness can give her a tough look sometimes like Michelle R (who is hawt! Girl crush.).

I think she looks a lot like Michelle Rodriguez with a little Jessica Alba mixed in. I'm so ready for her to leave and that disappoints me because I wanted to like her. The whole hissy fit she threw last night about being pissed off at the cameras was just annoying.
Carol is beautiful and smart. She is also a sheltered, SPOILED little girl who is so out of touch with reality she doesn't comprehend how she comes across to other people. I realize she talks about her accomplishments to feel better about herself but to other people it just comes across as bragging.
At times she looks exactly like Jennifer (J-Blo) but she sounds and acts just like Diane (from the Diane/Drew show). I liked her until she got all whiney and bitchy with the camera crew last night, now I'm just ready for her to leave.
OMG, like I totally hate girls who curl their hair with a curling iron!!
It will kill me to see Jessica's smarmy face when Carol walks out the door.

with the exception of her attitude she's a pretty good chick. I like her, but she's leaving so bleh.
She is really a godawful player. She thinks she has tons of votes that she doesn't have, and she keeps going to Amber(!!!) to tell her how she thinks everyone is voting. So I guess...way to point your competition in the direction she needs to go to solidify any votes that may be shaky? Yeah, good thinking.
She just comes across as utterly vapid and annoying to me. I think she lost me when she not only couldn't articulate what her father does, but then admitted that she's never had an opinion on abortion. I just can't imagine a woman getting to age 22 and having no opinion on it. It seems bizarre, and pretty telling to me.

ZERO personality. ZERO pull with the other hammies.
Carol has to stay until Jessica is out, because it's going to be too much fun to make Jessica's world a living hell, I mean who could get over 5 dollars!
The Wichita Eagle (the local paper) already has Carol's article (such as it is) on their website. I don't think the Eagle has ever gotten an article up in 2 hours before! You can see it here - http://www.kansas.com/news/updates/story/120980.html - funny thing is, the comments section discusses how Jessica is a Hockey Cheerleader. Funny! But you really gotta read the comments to understand the humor...
From the Hamster Headlines thread:
And we have our first hamsterview with Carol.
From that interview.
Gee, Carol, ya' think?
So, WTF, then? Why did she give up "so much" to be there?
I wonder if Playboy has called her yet.

It always bugs me when people wind up on the show that are like that - their place could've gone to someone actually interesting, but the producers go after some sort of lame "twist" which never pans out in the end. So, we wind up with one of the hamsters being completely forgettable. Well, of course, there's more than one this time.
