Parker is 26, a self-described paparazzo from Northridge, California.

Fisty hates this guy because Fisty had to buy back those early modeling photo negatives. It was Fisty's experimental phase.

Sideshow Bob?

I'm thinking Guarini Gone Wild.

His hair is like Buckwheat's. Well, like Eddie Murphy being Buckwheat on SNL. Sideshow Bob is a good description too.

Maybe he'll have some good batshit crazy Britney stories.

The resident name dropper. His stories better be good, we deserve that this year.

Sideshow Bob works for me!

"Self-described" paparazzo?? So that's what the kids are calling stalking these days?!

Don't worry, be happy...

Crabman.....where is Joy?

He works for TMZ.

His name dropping will be horrific.

The one thing this show is good for, is dumping unpleasant shit on people's heads or making them submerge themselves in viscous substances. Be interesting to see how he handles it.

As horrific as his name dropping will be, it may actually be fun to hear it from a TMZ pap. Hopefully less about he hangs around with them and they say witty things and that means he is cool, and more about how they are all drunken assholes who shove his camera in his face and run over his foot.

I'm actually hoping this one turns out cool, there are so few other choices.

Ha, my first thought too.

Whoa, yeah. Will he go ape-shit, or will he handle it with, ahem, aplomb?

BTW, remember crabman & his "sad hair"?

Exactly -- this one could easily go either way on the 'cool scale', and I'm kinda hoping I'll like him.

I'm pinning my pre-like on this one. His video was the only one that didn't annoy the crap out of me.

And he's used to being around celebrities -- real live crazy people. This should be a cake-walk for him.

We'll see. I'm sure I'll eat those words after the first episode.

He is my Pick too. I will probably be wrong as usual, but I like him so far.

Parker for the win! If for no other reason, we can call him Porker if he's chubby (I don't judge regular people, just fame hos!). Plus he works for TMZ...who better to understand not to pick his nose on camera? He could be "the classy one."

But first (drink!), let's not forget the cardinal BB rule - the hamsters will disappoint us. Every...damn...year.

I can't decide about him. On one hand, I want to root for him, on the other he just doesn't come across as a big enough asshole. I think he may get lost in the crowd. He also says in his interview that he's not planning on being himself for the first while. He may not be a true famewhore. They generally want the world to see exactly who and what they are.


Also...whatcha drinking lurker?

Remember Buckwheat Sings??? It's been going in my head since I saw the photo this morning. I hope there's a karaoke comp.

Wookin' Pa Nub .............

Unless he does something dumb, he's my early fav. Easygoing, happy, smiley, fun...invite him to your next party!

I kept waiting for the poor unsuspecting shlub's hair to burst into flames from the death rays Ryan was shooting at him.

Me likes Parker so far.

Exactly the same song that's been going through mine every time I see his picture. HA!

Based on the show tonight though, I have to say that he's my early favorite. Although, it may have been a mistake for them to try so hard to win the first "Power Couple". And why the hell can't they just call it HOH still.

I'm a little scared to be agreeing with you on a hamster.....

Ha! Come to the dark side Minx! We`re all waiting here for you.

Apparently, he does not work for TMZ. They did a spectacular mocking piece on him for his claiming to work for TMZ.

So what's worse- his lying about working for TMZ or him saying his job is a "videographer".

It's on now, Ronnie- down with Parker!

You`ll be coming to the darkside soon RC. Just you wait.

You'll all be on the dark side of the ban button if you don't get this thread back on topic.

I still like Parker. I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine finding out the person you thought was there to help you win, had a partner in the house. Oh, and the fact his chance of scoring with his partner being less than zero now too. I think he was more annoyed about the second reason.

So I am willing to forgive Parker for his little outburst, but it's over if he puts Dustbutt's crown back on his head.

Ummmmm I read the article on TMZ too, they called him "our guy" and said he'd do well. I'm not getting mocking at all. Videographer is a real job for paps, not everyone takes stills only. Anyone else think it was a nice little article? I mean if they were ranking on him TMZ for sure would have made fun of his hair.

TMZ gets more hits on their videos than pictures. I think the paps get paid more for good video footage. They ask the celebs all kinds of questions and sometimes strike gold when a celebrity puts their foot in their mouth. Like Jack Nicholson saying. "I warned 'em" after Heath Ledgers death. He meant it about the drug Ambien being dangerous, not Heath himself, but it was all over the media for awhile.

I was prepared to like Parker too, but his display last night makes him a complete ass. Everything he accused Jen of, he is also guilty of. And isn't he forgetting - the same reason he feels like he got f*cked over is the reason he would be safe. As long as Ryan has Jen's back, he has Parker's too. He's a jerk and displaying Evel Dick qualities.

He displays profound bouts of stupidity. As you say, he could have a very solid built in 4 person alliance because of the coupled non-couples and the non-coupled couple. Not only that, but how, in his right mind, would he EVER think that a girlfriend would agree to putting her real life boyfriend on the block? The guy's irrational.

I didn't see the article, I just saw the show on TV when the BB cast was announced and the TV-TMZ people made fun of him for claiming to work for TMZ. I imagine they hire a lot of freelancers so maybe they back tracked and figured out he did "work" for TMZ.

All that aside, I'm interested to see the fallout from last nite. I never could figure out if Parker wants to leave or not, who he's alligned with or pretty much anything about his game plan other than he got "fucked over by BB". Fucking crybaby.

I don't see him having Evil Dick qualities. He went off but nothing like Dick did. His was more of a Janelle outburst IMO.

He was upset because he thought the person that is suppose to have his back has someone else's. He at least apologized and I'm sure the alcohol didn't help matters. It was probably a lot more going on than what we saw. I think Parker was mad at the fact everyone else could possibly have a hook-up, and he really got screwed and not in the way he wanted to be.

I think the fact should be noted that Jen will not vote against her man. This is the very thing BB8 Jen tried to tell the others last year about Dick & Dani. This couple is a big threat, because not only will they have their "soul mates" vote, they will have their real life partners vote too. One of them needs to go.

I really dislike like Jen and her meat head boyfriend.

It's a little early for me to damn him to hammie hell, but he was being a complete hypocrite last night.

On the one hand, he was bitching at Jen because she did not want to vote against her boyfriend; someone she loves. On the other hand, he stated that he would absolutely, positively NOT vote against his "boyz," Alex and Matt, someone he has known for all of one week. He was asking her to "play the game" and forget about her loyalty to Ryan, but he could forget about playing said game by voting what benefited him, solely.

It becomes even more ridiculous when you realize that Matt was not part of the alliance of 6 that they were trying to protect.

So, in essence, she can't be loyal to one person, but he is allowed to be loyal to two ... one of whom is in the other alliance.

Also, why was he directing all of his hatred towards Jen? BB put them in that spot, not her.

FF...I think when he realized he wasn't getting any nookie, he amped. I swear I think that's wear his anger was rooted.

You may be right, gunshyne.

And, as I said, he may have just had a bad night, so he may be redeemable (well, as redeemable as a hammie can be.) After he calmed down, he and Jen made nice and were having a reasonable discussion.

Granted, no one could compare to Evel Dick really, but stalking around the house shouting hypocritcal bile at one particular person is totally an Evel Dick tactic. He's a jerk and I'm disappointed. Jen is supposed to be loyal to a guy she's known for a week over a man she loves and lives with??? Is Parker smoking the crack or what? The same things he's asking her to do in that house he would completely despise her for outside the house.

So now I look like a total asshole because on TMZ today they were pumping up Parker and calling him "our man inside". FU TMZ.
And now I kind of like Parker because despite his irrational anger when drunk. I am so fickle...

That's not fickle. That's the soul of a true HTer.

What do you expect from non-union help?? There's been a no contract no work order for TMZ-TV since Sept. from AFTRA. I won't watch it.

I think Parker has good reason to be mad. Everyone else got the plus/minus of a dedicated partner and he didn't. He got someone who's loyalties are elsewhere and no way to change it. What's to stop her from throwing herself on her sword later in the game and taking him with her? He's starting out at a disadvantage. Also, there is something to be said for no one else having the comfort of a loved one in the house, it's a little unfair that everyone else is completely cutoff from unconditional emotional support.

EVERY season I tell myself I'm going to remain neutral and not make snap decisions about the hammies. Within 24 hours I'm yelling at the screen. After listening to Parker last night, I see where he's coming from and don't think he's a jerk. Why do I even comment? WHY??? I would suck at being a hamster.

But he's not the only one. Ryan's match (Allison???) also is paired with someone who isn't going to have sex with her is loyal to someone else.


I don't think that he's a jerk, but I think that he's making dumb decisions. He needs to start thinking before he acts.

Merged double posts -- Mags

Oh my God! Parker remained the big cry baby pouty face until the bitter end. He wouldn't even talk to the Jenbot. Baby!

pouty face crybaby is right. I'm so glad the both of them got evicted, total win/win. They both acted so put upon, as if the world owed them the win. What got me the most though is they still insist that telling the house about the Jen/Ryan relationship was the best thing to do, to head off Allison.

They're both a couple of idiots who refuse to accept any blame whatsoever for their ouster, when it's very clear they did it to themselves.

TMZ did a pretty funny video about Parker's return to their fold.

Cute video - but the funniest part to me was reading this comment "I don't watch this show eithier. This is not the autistic guy is it? That would be shameful to exploit him like that." Heh.

I watched Parker on House Calls and he was even more petty and spiteful than he was while in the house. If only he had as much personality as his hair does. Then I would have actually cared that he left the game early.
