NOT ALL GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES
The HouseGuests are not yet settled in when the first tensions arise--over bedding--between blonde bombshell Janelle, 25-year-old single cocktail waitress from Miami Beach, and Eric, 36-year old married firefighter from Boston. The group gathers in the living room for introductions. Self-titled Hurricane Howie, 34-year-old single meteorology student from Chicago, confidently forecasts a positive "outlook" for himself and Janelle. James, 29-year-old single loss prevention manager from Atlanta, Georgia, rains on Howie's love parade, but still manages to make an impression on sweet-as-pie lingerie store manager from Chicago, Sarah (single, 22), who declares, "that James guy is hot!" Michael, 28-year-old single artist from Orange County, California, wins a few hearts with his self-deprecating charm.

Thirty-year-old Dallas newlywed April, the pharmaceutical sales rep from Dallas, is all sugar, while former teacher-cum-waitress Ivette (25, single, from Miami Beach) is all spice. Everyone warms to Maggie, the 26-year-old single ER nurse from Las Vegas, while personal shopper Beau (single, 25), from Pembroke Pines, Florida, promises to raise the rainbow flag of style and fashion. Howie announces his determination to discover whether arena football league dancer Jennifer's (27, single, from Plano, Texas) standoffish demeanor is a personality trait or a game strategy. While girl-next-door Rachel, 33-year-old single horse breeder from Parker, Colorado, 24-year-old single graphic designer Kaysar, from Irvine, California, and Ashlea, 22-year-old single fashion design student from Plantation, Florida, add enigmatic additions to this House of Hotties.
