I'm really excited this year for Renny because one of my dearest friends that lives in NO knows this girl well and has for years. She lives just down the street from her and today she said the house looks all closed up and dark. It'll be fun to have someone to route for. Now my gf live there all her life too but I have to say her accent and voice is much softer and she speaks with a much slower drawl that is very endearing to me.
Please find out where Renny was born/raised? I know the New Orleans accent is different from the rest of LA, but I don't hear either in Renny. Maybe her husband is a native New Orlean.
I sort of liked Renny before her late night spat with Jessie. She was plain annoying, but I'm going to try and keep an open mind since many of you here seem to be pulling for her.

Yeah I am not liking her at all. I think Jessie had a point, he just cant seem to express himself well with words. I would have been pissed too if she came in and woke me, she is rude. Then to deflect she says he is acting like a baby.

The only thing I do agree on with what Renny said to Jessie is that Jessie wouldn't let it go. Once he informed Renny that she woke him up, he kept saying that over and over. "But I'm NOW awake! I'm up because of you! Yada, yada, yada..." He should have stopped saying that after Renny apologized. In a way, I can see why she called him a big baby. lol

I was born and raised in New Orleans. Renny has a "true New Orleans accent". There are many different southern accents and this is one of them.
Renny's accent is very different from a Cajun accent.

HOLLYWOOD - Metairie mom Renny Martyn survived into the second week of the CBS reality show "Big Brother," and host Julie Chen was not surprised.
Chen has seen nine seasons of rising and falling fortunes in the winnowing game that locks a bunch of mostly young pretty people in a fake house for three month to scratch and claw and backstab their way to a $500,000 prize.
Martyn, 53, launched in the game as an annoying presence to her fellow "houseguests," but was not immediately booted.
"I will say that she dodged a bullet (in) week one," said Chen, who attended a giant party thrown by CBS during the July TV Tour. "That's why I love this game. Someone in the house is targeting you, then they have bigger fish to fry, and that's how some people skate their way to the finish line.
"It's just, 'Oh, we can get rid of her any time. We can get rid of him any time. Let him live this week,' and then it goes on week after week after week. It's a great game.
"In the first 48 hours of living in the 'Big Brother' house, you go from your first impressions, (then realize you're) totally off base. This person always starts off as the troublemaker, or the person everyone hates. (Martyn) was clearly the one that everybody kind of rolled their eyes at. She was hard to relate to. She was a mom, in her 50s, kind of by herself. Too young to relate to (older players), too old to relate to some of the 28-year-olds.
Chen said the tide might've turned for Martyn when she displayed her motherly side to some of the younger female contestants.
"Suddenly, she wasn't so annoying," Chen said. "The mother in her came out. In this game, the personalities, the action in the house, can swing any (direction). So Renny's sitting pretty right now. She's definitely got a new lease on life in the 'Big Brother' house, which is something that I love.
"I really hope Renny lasts. I think the more we all get to know her, the more we'll all kind of like her. That's the great thing about the show. You may dislike someone or love someone, but you'll go through a lot of different emotions for each houseguest. We're not all good, we're not all bad. We're human. The longer we get to know them, the more we get to see that.
