Alright, this was extremely tough. It was a very close call between four people and I had to go based off a mixture of potential, reputation, application quality, activity, timezone, and how I ultimately see them meshing with the cast.
Angie - Bridget (83119)
April - Jill (69690)
Braden - Awesomeguy (22096)
Brian - YoungActor (48151)
Pickle Head - Carrotman (10703)
Chima - Ashlee (13121)
Dan - Juice (69247)
Jeff - Billy (25650)
Jerry - Dave (18301)
Bacon - SohiStud (thetiger)
Jordan - Andii (33333)
Keesha - Megan (11895)
Kevin - Alex (79152)
Laura - Meowsy (22591)
Libra - Luis (17171)
Lydia - Astrologer (22522)
Memphis - Adam (12985)
Michele - Kyle (41501)
Michelle - Staci? (29291)
Natalie - Jeffrey (34566)
Ollie - HATCH (65555)
Renny - Bubani (06660)
Ronnie - Seany Sass (20206)
Russell - Matt (45678)
Steven - Derek (19888)
CUT
Mailcatch Alias - Didn't come back after signing up.
Daxepor - I dig that she's back in ORGs, but I'm not sure if this is the best experimental game for her. As it is, she struggles in games when she doesn't mesh with people.
Jack - Hi. I forgot he applied
He'll be joining PW.
Rainmoon - Wasn't really sure what to think of this person. Their application wasn't bad, but they didn't really stick out either.
Zack - Well, he made it a LOT further in the process than he should have just based off potential. But he had by far the worst application and a tainted reputation. I know he's cleaning himself up and starting to be active in games again like in Palau and New Guinea. But keep in mind, those are quick survivor games. This is going to be the long, drawn out Big Brother. I like Zack and I would love to see him play my series regularly in his prime. But at the same time, much like Daxepor, I don't want to gamble on an experiment with this many hopefuls.
Amr - Absolutely killed me to do this. I know he's not popular with a lot of you, but I feel bad for him. Nonetheless, I have to take his timezone into account for live challenges, but not only that, I have to look at how he'll mesh with this cast. I just can't see him doing a good job of that. Great application, but his reputation usually is that he doesn't live up to his hype. I do think he deserved a second shot, but I'm not sure if this game is the one one for that.
This is my final decision so don't fill this thread up with arguing over who was picked. If you have a problem with something I did, take it up with me on AIM and I'd be happy to talk you through with it.
But now that the cast is finally official, it's time to begin our first game discussion thread.
As I mentioned in my recent "stuff nobody cares about" thread, I want general talk and off-topic chatter to stay out of this thread. Please use the following thread for that: CLICK
So for now, not much to go based on but - predictions? Who are you excited to see? Who's doomed from the start? Who's going to be elected class president? Strut your stuff.
An interesting thing I would like to ask - how should we go about cliques? My original idea was to have everyone fill out a survey since they were going to be doing the HOH Bedroom anyway, but at the same time, I think I could get a pretty good idea of who would be in what clique just based off the applications as well. Anyone feel the same/got a good idea?
Keep in mind that there's five per clique and that five of them will be overridden due to the Student Body clique.
Let's hear what ya got, gang.

i think the survey idea sounds good.
