Must be the Season of the Pig

Must be the Season of the Fire Pig: BB8 by the Stars by Roxanne McDonald

Can the Eastern and Western astrological influences impact the dynamics, the downfall, the deliberations of the Big Brother 8 houseguests? Could their astro-charts determine who will win?

Does the fact that Amber is a Pisces [a water sign] account for all that crying? Does it make sense that the bullish, bull-headed, full of bull Jen is a Taurus? Does it make you nod when you learn that Joe was born under the sign of the pig?

I leave the speculations up to you, but cite the small bit of research I did into the Big Brother 8 guests’ astrological assignments [in alphabetical order and including, to be balanced, those already evicted]:

Notes:
Sun signs also considered to get along well with the others with the same element (air with air, fire with fire, etc.), but I can see the possibility of really clashing with someone too much like oneself?

Notice how there are no Scorpios this season?
