Waiting Game

The cast reveal WILL be tomorrow, but as always all of us internet folk are just waiting for one media outlet to break the rules and release the cast early. It's happened the past few seasons and we're all hoping it happens again. Regardless, the official reveal will occur tomorrow, most likely on The Early Show. CBS2 and InsideDish will have interviews posted, along with other possible sources. WeLoveBigBrother.com will have an interview with Allison Grodner to share as well. So rest assured, tomorrow will be a HUGE day.

In the meantime, here's two possible houseguests that have rumors about them being on the show all over the internet. It could be false, it could be legit. You decide.

Media Day Coverage

Monday is finally here and that means that various sources across the internet are now able to show us what the Big Brother house will look like this year! Several press sources released their takes on the experience, along with edited footage of their time in the house and pictures of the new house. I must say, I did not expect the house to look very good based on the descriptions from last night, but after seeing the pictures and videos that were released, I really think this is one of the best Big Brother houses ever.

Here are a few pictures, courtesy of BSideBlog.com:

Pool Room

Spa

Diary Room

Head of Household Room

You can view videos of Media Day here, it is in three parts: http://www.youtube.com/user/bsideblog

So what do you think? Personally, I think besides the spa room this house is great! I absolutely love the Pool Room and think it's going to be hilarious watching people have to sleep in there on those plastic rafts with no blankets. The Diary Room, Bathroom and Head of Household Room are also among my favorite rooms in the new house. The Red/Purple Room is nice as well, probably a great place to sleep. Of course, there is still at least one bedroom that is locked off and we probably won't get to see it until the official house tour or the premiere next Thursday. Overall, I am feeling optimistic after today. More information should be coming in later tonight and tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

More news!

Thanks for RealityBBQ.com we now know that there will be four groups, presumably of three people each. Of course, expect the unexpected, we could have four former houseguests that will be added in to make a total of sixteen since it was said that the twelve houseguests that 'have not been in the Big Brother house before' will be sequestered today.

The four groups, which are being used as cliques have been unfortunately named:

Jocks
Populars
Braniacs
Outcasts

Personally, I think this is pretty lame. I really hope the houseguests make diverse cliques that incorporate various people and don't stick to their label at all. I am still hoping that despite these groups they will still compete for Head of Household and Power of Veto as individuals and that they'll be permitted to nominate whomever they wish. We'll see though. I'm sure we'll know more about the rules of this twist as details and press releases come out this week.

WeLoveBigBrother.com is set to release some information in about an hour. Keep checking for updates! And don't forget to comment!

The Twist

Thanks to CornerOffice and Plumb at RealityBBQ.com, we now have more information about what to expect regarding the twist this season. Here is what he posted:

First up, we have a theme throughout the house this year – called “The Have and The Have-Not’s”. You should be able to get the general idea regarding what that’s about from the name.

Now to much talked about High School theme that has caused various rumors to spread out over the internet. Here is how it will work:

Big Brother has cast people who they believe represent some typical high school stereotypes. However, it will not be Big Brother pairing them up. Once they enter the house, they will be told to form the cliques themselves – Big Brother will not force them together like Big Brother 9. In other words, Big Brother could have cast someone that they see as a Jock but the houseguests could decide that they are a “geek” instead.

Once these cliques are formed, they will play as teams for a while, but they will eventually split off into individuals and play the Big Brother Game by themselves.

What exactly does this mean? Well, I've come up with several different speculative scenarios as to what this all could mean. I personally hope that they will still compete individually for Head of Household and Power of Veto, and will be allowed to nominate anyone they wish to, but that is purely wishful thinking. It is likely that players will not be allowed to nominate people on their teams. However, with this twist likely only lasting a few weeks, it hopefully won't have too great of an impact on the game.

Plumb later confirmed that it was more than just two teams. Thus, we can assume it is either 3 teams of 4 houseguests or 4 teams of 3 houseguests, since the commercials have reiterated that there will be only 12 houseguests this season. RealityBBQ will release more information at some point today, so I will keep you posted. And, tonight after Midnight Eastern time, the block on press information about Media Day and the house will be lifted, and all can be revealed. So, expect big news, as well as possible photos and videos late tonight!

We're getting close...

For those of you who don't know me, I'm Dan and I'm a huge Big Brother fanatic. I've toyed about having a blog for Big Brother before and I think this year I finally cracked. My twitter account is danthebbfan and on I'm known as I LUV TIJUANA. Now onto more interesting things... Big Brother.

There's only twelve days left until Big Brother returns to our screen. For quite a few of us, that means our summer will officially begin. I'll be here to bring you updates as stories unfold. Here's the expected schedule of events and my plan of action for these events:


Sunday June 28th- Houseguests Sequestered
-Houseguests will be in sequester tomorrow. Thus, they are "kidnapped", told to pack and given their keys this weekend. This makes it official that information can be released so that the brand new houseguests will not be privy to this information. They will spend about a week in sequester, where interviews and press photos will be performed, which will be released later in the week.


Monday June 29th - House Tour / Twist Reveal / "Media Day" Coverage
-We should expect to see all, or most of the photos and tour of the house on Monday, as that has been set as the date when media outlets can reveal their information. Last Friday, several press people (and Jen Johnson) got the very first look at the Big Brother house. On Monday, they're allowed to talk about it, show pictures and video, so it's very likely that the house tour will be released that day as well. The twist reveal usually comes along with the house, maybe a day after, but I expect it on Monday or Tuesday before the cast reveal.


Wednesday July 1st- Cast Reveal
-According to many sources, we should expect the cast reveal Wednesday. Typically, there's an early release the night before, so I will most definitely be on call waiting for any updates on the cast Tuesday night. Interviews and photos should be out on Wednesday. More interviews will probably be posted throughout the week.


Sunday July 5th- Houseguests Enter the House
-The game begins as the houseguests will enter four days before the show begins. This is typical, as the first few days they need to take press photos, get the houseguests acquainted with the rules and procedures and help them learn what to do so there's no confusion when the live feeds begin streaming.


Thursday July 9th- The Show Begins
-The show kicks off at 8 PM Eastern time, and the feeds begin at Midnight Eastern time, as per usual. From this point on, the summer is on! Live feed updates from me will be constantly posted here, at Fantasy Games Central, Survivor Sucks, Twitter, and so forth. With the new live feed features, I won't miss a thing, and neither will you if you choose to purchase them. Trust me, it's worth it.

I look forward to a great season of Big Brother, and I hope there are people out there who are as insane about their Big Brother love as I am. Please comment, because feedback is always nice.
