Zach is 30, from Beautiful Downtown Burbank, CA, is single and a graphic designer.

This guy will be driven mad by the house design.

He already looks bat-shit mad. Nice hair, dude.

Ack! What's with the "I will kill you in your sleep" crazy eyes and gritted teeth demented grin? He terrifies me.

It's a testament to his skill as a graphic designer that this guy was able to draw on his own hair.

You know that scene in the original Batman, where Jack Nicholson as the Joker reveals his pretty girlfriend, and she has a maniacal smile permanently and surgically implanted on her face?

Plus, he looks like he should be selling something on an infomercial.

I like him.

Saw him on The Early Show.

If you're 30 years old and only have 5 seconds to make an impression and all you can say is "Go Seminoles"?

Well that's just sad.

all he needs is a clown wig and a red nose and I'll be having nightmares all summer long! Evil clown looking dude!!

He has the markings of a young Jack Nicholson. Could be fun!

He seems to resemble a MIME! to me. Eh, a girl can dream...

Anger issues, just under the surface.

A psycho, graphic designer from California....um, yeah, we HAD one already, one is quite enough.
Whether Zach comes into the house all crazy-angry like "Bug Eye" Toni from Paradise Island (and Love Cruise 2001), or if the decor and design of the house drives him batty (smart Fisty!)......Zach just may become known as.....dun dun dun...."Zach-o-path".

Oh god! And that huge evil grin?! WTF?! Hell, maybe "Bug Mouth" will win out, depending on how many times he 'smiles' like that. (Is that technically considered smiling? Don't you have to NOT be thinking of eating someone's brain when you smile?)

I vote for: first to cry.

Just a feeling.

Oh, and I love him.

Dick, Mike, Zach= Triplets separated only by the years between their births and different parents

According to the TVGuide Realty show videos...
Zach 'has a vast knowledge of almost everything that he'd love to share with the HG's.' What did I tell you? Mike all over again! I hope he leaves his friggin Chapstick at home! God, that Chapstick annoyed the hell out of me!

Also, Zach says he thinks he sold himself really well in the interviews with CBS...and he considers himself a good flirt, which he will use to his advantage in the house. And he said all of this with the personality of a goat on Valium (a triple does, I think).

Not a fan, can you tell?

FeedMeCoffee, where are these videos of which you speak? I can't find them.

ETA: I found one copy, at Jokers. Couldn't find it at TV Guide.

And who the heck is SAMANTHA!?

"Samantha" is apparently an alternate in case one of the HG's bails sequester, of TPTB find out bad dirt about them making them uneligible for the show (aka "uninsurable)".
I forget where I saw that, but it's in a lot of places.

ETA:
Info from WLBB, sbout "Samantha".
Also includes a video with Julie Chen with a 'mystery' as to why the HOH will be a secret the 1st night... dun dun dun!
Samantha info


I know that WLBB (We Love BB) has new 30 sec. clips of the hg's, and Zach talks about his expansive knowledge base in that interview also. However, this was a different interview than the one I saw before (where he was excruciatingly annoying like that putz Michael, Kaysar's friend).
I think it was on "Reality Remix" on FOXRC (Fox Reality Channel ch. 108 here in Chicago).

Here's the TV Show, but I can't find the link to the BB videos.

The WLBB site had a link around here for the 30 sec videos...maybe under House Analysis?

ETA:
From ff174 under H.A. the link to the 30 sec videos:

THat is in the "Hamster Headlines" thread for general video links and other media-related bits that don't have to do with a specific hamster.

Okay, okay. I think I've got it. Two words for you...

Mr. Anderson.

It has finally occured to me who Zach reminds me of: Bert from Sesame Street!

Talks way too much and interrupts EVERYONE. I don't like him. I don't like his voice. I don't like his sense of humor. We wouldn't get along well at all.

New favorite! He's like Roddy crossed with Kaysar. His hotness just doubled for me during his strategy session with Kail. He's smart, rational, a little egotastic, but considering the morons he's in there with, logically so.

I thought of those same two guys while watching Zach last night. Now I'm waiting to see if he makes the same mistakes they did.

I hate to keep saying it but MAN HE'S ANNOYING! His voice, those facial expressions and his corniness is going to drive me absolutely over the edge if he sticks around long.

Being a late nighter, I never get to see/hear the early bird, so no wonder I still have a crush on him.

From the feed recaps...

I can't believe I know this, but YES! He is. Yesterday, I think, Eric and Zach were in the yard and Jessica came by and Eric called her the "white whale", because apparently Zach told him that she looks exactly like a girl he was in love with in high school who rejected him like a million times. So, I kind of find Jessica's easy dissing of him hilarious, although I wonder if the girl is aware of how many buttons she's pushing. It'd crack my shit up if after all his scheming, he actually wins HoH and puts her up just to exact revenge. Although, I sense he's more the type to keep coming back for abuse again and again and again.

In an early interview, the tool said he wasn't there to hook up, he's there to play da game.

Liah!!!

ohhhh, i know why i'm in love with Zach. It's my innate ability to, as my friend puts it "find the runt in every litter."

From looking at various myspace pages and message boards, Zach is a big ole nerd. Magic the Gathering, Dungeons and Dragons......I hate those damn games, but I love some of the guys that play them..

Ha! That's funny. I can totally see Zach in that role, despite the fact he's taller than everyone except Joe (right?)

I knew this guy was a psycho/crazy killer/nut job when he made a comment saying that one of the houseguests would look good in rolled up carpet. Creepy! Does anyone remember him saying that? He may have been referring to Dani. The other boys were complementing Dani and saying that she looked good in a certain color or outfit and he made that comment almost under his breath.

holy crap, that's just scary. did the other boys hear him?

in other news, the geek list just keeps growing, with the Monty Python quoting.. how do you get to the age of 30 without knowing that girls are not turned on by Python-quoting?

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Michael Palin, but YOUR version of the crunchy frog sketch just.. skeeves us out.

----

well now he's not only a serial killer, but he's a racist and a perve, so... bye-bye z.

Well, sadly I can now think of several of them that match that criteria, so I have to agree with him there. But then again I have just watched Amber on the feeds for the last while, so that may be part of it. To me so far, Zach still kind of seems like a non-entity.

Well, well, well, all the evidence seems to be in. Chess, Python, Olivia, Vargas, Geiger... ahhh, my love, my love.

I will think of you, Zach, when I go to S.D. Comic Con. *dreamy sigh*

and thanks a lot whoever said he looks like a young Nixon.. tryin to ruin my summer fantasy. *shakes an angry fist*

*stands up next to Anders and admits...* I think I have a crush on Zach too. I mean, I know he is a doofus and not the sharpest crayon in the box about the game. But on some topics, he makes the rest of them look like morons. I just can't help it though, I'm a geek too. And he's kinda attractive at times when he's not making the chimp face thing.

He was even nice to that skinny meanie Daniele, trying to figure out a way to get her to like protein shakes by warming it up like hot chocolate. Of course she ignored him and just walked away. Ungrateful stickbug.

The thing that solidified it though, was when Amber started in on the whole racist/pervert attack. I'm a sucker for the underdog.

Oh, I hate that wolfpack mentality of circling the weakest member and cutting him off. There are a number of examples of this sort of thing in BB's past, it's become a tradition, hasn't it?

I like Zach, but it's too bad most of the cast seems so indifferent to him.

I just find Zach humorous because he's such a pale imitation of Roddy. He's Mr. Chess and he is Mr. Obscure Natural History Fact, and he's Mr. Overconfident. He's really walking around thinking no one knows anything about their alliance. He's completely oblivious to the fact that most of the girls in the house find him creepy. He keeps strategizing weeks ahead about who to take out and why like HOH has already been pre-ordained. It's just a funny juxtaposition. He's like the Survivor contestant they interview at the first of a Survivor episode talking about how in control of the game they are and how they are utterly safe who ultimately ends up voted out to their complete shock after the vote.

I'll admit, that he likes Geiger and his knowledge of some or the best graphic artists along with his respect for cutting edge comic book work brings him up a bit but he's still a bit of a tool in my eyes

Zach is the most clueless houseguest I have EVER seen on this show. Talk about not being able to read a room - or individuals! It's really highly entertaining.

It's the tragic remains of a high school outcast who spent his college years sheltered by a frat.

Gawd, he should move to Silicon Valley, now that I think of it. He'd fit right in...

I kinda feel sorry for Zack-o. After listening to him get all excited talking about the type of movies he likes and his interest in the unexplained. He has me thinking he is a pretty deep person. Unfortunately most people(especially famewhores) will find that dull.

To me he seems like a Vulcan Mr. Spock from Star Trek (hey my granddad watched it *cough*) You know super logical. I think he has all book sense with not alot of common thrown in.

If he could start developing his social skills and try to align more with Nick he might last a little longer in this game. But I think he has already rubbed too many people the wrong way. So he will probably be going sooner than later.

I just can't get a good gauge on his intelligence. He can talk the talk occasionally, but then there's his total inability to see what's going on in the game. Or not knowing where "Big Brother" comes from. Or what Mrs. Robinson means.

Okay, shame on him with the Orwellian miss, but he knew the song "Mrs. Robinson." At least give his chimpness credit for that!

What kills me is if it was Nick or Mike being all touchy feely the only thing the girls would do is giggle. I am tired of them messing with Zack.

I was hoping Zack would flat out tell Kail that yeah Dick is coming after you, but Joe is coming after me and thats why I'm not voting to keep him. Kail could have cared less that Joe was targeting Zack as long as she protected her sanctimonious ass.

I hope Zack sticks around for a little while.

Zach is the new Creed (and if you watch The Office, you know exactly what I am talking about).

Ooooooooooooh, PERFECT!!! <bumps fists (not Fisty) with wickedtong>

I got family in town, I miss the feeds one night and miss Zacks nuddie sprint.

I can't help but to like the guy.I can't even really explain why I like him I guess its like rooting for William Hong.

Now I will be gone 5 days to Ohio so thats guaranteeing you guys some excitement on the feeds.


****Thanks Cubkip for capturing that action....Hee.****

I don't know what's worse, Creed or William Hung?

very sad for my poor zach, alcohol is not his friend

I'm telling you. Put the guy in a black suit with a black tie and dark black sunglasses and he is the evil guy from the Matrix!!!

He's not an in-crowd kind of guy, that's for sure, but he definitely needs to lay off the Nick man-love. I don't even want to think about the scene that will occur when that whole thing comes to head. Or, you know, maybe I do. Zach professes his love, Nick owns up to his man-loving tendencies, they hug it out, beyatch! And Dani sulks in a corner sad that she's not the center of attention anymore. And no longer are we forced to endure the long, silent pauses and staring that is the NiNi affair. Woot!

And that alone would make it all worth it.

Is that pronounced "ninny"?

serious question here - is it possible he's gay but he's on the d/l? like oprah-style?

Maybe he's the twist.

One never knows, I suppose. I mean, far be it from me to start any internet rumors, but during the only couple of hours I actually recapped the live feeds he was, quite obviously, staring at Dustin's boner.

Srsly, I don't make this stuff up.

Dustin was talking about how he lay down for just 10 minutes, and he got this equivalent of morning wood. And, Zach stared at it, for a good 5-10 seconds and commented, "dude, that's just wrong" or something to that effect.

So...maybe?

You didn't hear it from me...
