Paul Abrahamian, age 23


I've read his bio on the CBS Big Brother website. I've seen his video on CBS All Access. Here are some facts and my impressions:

His faux-hawk and beard are perfectly coiffed. How long is that going to last in the house?
He says he's a "clothing designer." I think I'd rather see what that huge tattoo is on his chest.

BB18 cast reveal delayed by CBS. Instead of this morning, the cast
reveal on CBS All Access will be taped (not live) and shown tomorrow --

Many of the rumors regarding the cast will be either shown to be right or way off base by tomorrow. For some reason, the BB18 cast hamsters will not go through the media interviews -- the only cast interviews will be those on CBS All Access. That, of course, is also where we'll access the live feeds once they go live late next week.

Why all the secrecy? Well, we usually have secrecy going on
