Julie Chen Explains the Twist! [June 18 2014] Today on The Talk,  Julie Chen explained one of the new twists for BB16.  This year, each week there will be two HoHs and each HoH will nominate two HGs for eviction, so there will be four nominees, and here's another twist: The HoH is not safe from eviction! The new twist incorporates a new weekly competition called "Battle of the Block," and subscribers to the live feeds (called: "Team America") will influence the the game as never before. Here's Julie explaining it: Morty Video So get the live feeds now before the discount ends, go to:  http://m1h.us/bb16

What do you think? Comment Here

In Big Brother 16, the house will be divided into two teams, eight HGs on each team. One person from each team will win HoH each week, meaning there will be two HoHs,  Each HoH nominates two people for eviction, meaning there will be four nominees on the block at a time. Then the two team compete in a new competition called "Battle of the Block," and only one team will emerge victorious, and the other team's two nominations will remain on the block, and that team's HoH will be stripped of their power and safety. The winning team will be safe, including the two nominations and the HoH. The winning HoH, the two nominees and three players selected by random draw will then compete for the Power of Veto. The winner of the PoV can leave the nominations the same, or take someone off the block and replace them with anyone they want, including the losing team's HoH. [I'm not sure if the PoV winner, or the HoH gets to select as before, but it was written that the PoV winner does the selecting, so we'll just have to wait and see.] The one of the remaining two nominees will be voted out as usual.

Today, the Hollywood Reporter released these pictures of the BB16 house, and they were posted on the CBS web site soon after. The pictures in the slideshow are clickable for a larger view. Here's a video tour with Julie: Morty Video

The Twist will be Revealed Tomorrow! [June 17 2014] Julie Chen Tweeted: @JulieChen I’ve got scoop on the new season of #BigBrother! Watch #TheTalk 6/18 to learn why we’re calling #BB16 the most twisted season ever!

There seems to be some credence to the rumors that veteran BB houseguests will be competing in BB16.  Ian Terry tweeted that he was in Houston, along with a picture. Ian got called out when the picture proved to be fake, and Ian deleted the tweet.

At this point the rumors bore me, we'll know the truth in a couple days, and we'll see the new decor in the house.


Big Brother 16 Early Bird Live Feed subscribers are already enjoying subscriber-only chats and videos like Tuesday's interview with Hayden Moss.

In less than three weeks Big Brother 16 will premiere, but first: The Big Brother 16 houseguest reveal will be on Wednesday, June 19.

As I said, Live Feed subscribers got to see Jeff interview Hayden Tuesday. In case you forgot, Hayden auditioned for Survivor and was turned down, but later got a call asking him if he'd be interested in a different show, which turned out to be Big Brother 12. Hayden won Big Brother 12, and went on to be the first player to ever go on to compete on Survivor.

Jeff asked Hayden what the new HGs should do to prepare for going into the season? "Nothing!" Hayden says, "Do not make any plans and just go with what happens." As for just what the next twist might be? Hayden predicts Big Brother 16 could be "Blood Vs Water," a rumor we've been hearing for over a month, but without any official word yet there’s just no way to be sure. Hayden reminds us that his guessing is purely speculation and based a lot on the theme’s success on his season of Survivor, we’ll just have to wait and see!

Big Brother fans will have even more interactive and cross-platform elements to enjoy when the new season kicks off with a special two-night premiere, Wednesday, June 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and Thursday, June 26 (9:00-10:00 PM), on CBS in the USA and Global in Canada.

The show will be broadcast in HD for the first time this summer. The Big Brother house has been outfitted with 76 HD cameras and more than 100 microphones to give fans new viewpoints inside the house and double the coverage in the backyard.

For the second consecutive year, TVGN (TV Guide Network) will be the exclusive television destination for Big Brother: After Dark, a live feed from the Big Brother house during the late-night hours beginning on Thursday, June 26. This season, Big Brother: After Dark will air in HD and will expand with even more airtime throughout the summer. Big Brother: After Dark will air commercial-free on its premiere night.

Expanded interactive and multi-platform features will bring fans closer to the Houseguests with new Impact Votes, Big Brother Live Feed features and exclusive digital programming. CBS.com will kick off the season on June 25th with a new pre-premiere event, “Big Brother Live Kickoff,” hosted by former Houseguest Jeff Schroeder at 7:00 PM ET/4:00 PM PT. Following the June 26 episode of Big Brother, Schroeder will host the first “Big Brother All-Nighter,” where he will live-tweet the first 16 hours of the Big Brother Live Feeds.

The Live Feeds begin on Thursday, June 26 at 10:00 PM PT / 1:00 AM ET.

Fans can sign up now for the Big Brother Live Feeds Early Bird Special for a discounted subscription and access to special features leading up to the premiere, including a selection of full-episodes from past seasons and Live Chat events with past seasons’ winners.

Rumors Persist!
[June 8 2014] With only 17 days before the start of Big Brother 16, rumors about possible twists and themes continue to run rampant across the internet.  The belief that BB16 is going to be a "blood" season with some former HGs and their relatives, mixed with newbies continues to be prevalent. Rachel Reilly-Villegas and her sister Elissa Slater are still rumored to be in the BB16 cast. To contradict the rumor, another site is claiming that there was a press day on Friday, and Rachel was a host to the media. We'll know the facts about this soon when Julie gives the ladies of The Talk a tour of the house and the press day pictures and interviews come out.

A newer rumor is that on the first night Big Brother will call each HG into the DR where they’ll be paired with another HG. They'll be teamed-up by random draw for the duration of the game. Each pair will be told they're the only pair, and they must keep their partnership secret. If the partners make it to the end together, they’ll the prize money will increase, maybe even double.

New Season of Big Brother Will Air in HD! [June 5 2014] The new season of Big Brother, which premieres on June 25, will finally be broadcast in high definition. Big Brother was the only regularly scheduled primetime program still shown in standard definition.

The hold-up for the change likely had to do with how the show is shot. “It’s not just about swapping out cameras,” co-executive producer Rich Meehan told Vulture. “Everything had to be changed … and we couldn’t do anything that would jeopardize production of the series.”
Changes to the show’s production infrastructure needed to make the leap were so complex, they had to be rolled out in waves. A new digital post-production system needed to be built, installed, and tested.

Per Grodner, “14 miles of HD cables” had to replace the old wiring that had run through the house. And finally, in the last phase of the remodel, new cameras had to be installed and made to work with the new digital central nervous system of the house.

“We only had six months at a time to do [the changes],” says Brother engineering-operations supervisor David Crivelli. “We had to do a heart transplant,” even as the “patient” — the Big Brother broadcasts each summer — continued to pump out new episodes.

Big Brother Winner Dick Donato to Appear on Couples Therapy Season 5
[May 30, 2014] by Carson Blackwelder @ wetpaint.com  After competing twice on Big Brother, Dick “Evil Dick” Donato is going to take his wacky personality to another reality show. The Season 8 winner will be appearing on Season 5 of VH1’s hit series Couples Therapy when it premieres on September 10, 2014. Dick and his girlfriend, Stephanie Rogness-Fischer, will be seeking relationship advice from Dr. Jenn Berman during three weeks of intense therapy sessions. -Read More -
New Live Feed Viewer Powers [May 30, 2014] This year the Big Brother live feed subscribers extra power over the fans who only watch on TV.

But in return, we'll now get bonus features including online votes that will effect the houseguests and possibly the game.

Of course CBS is hoping that this will increase subscriptions to the live feeds, but it's also long overdue reward for us hardcore fans, because we are the ones that really know what's going on in the house.

Another Season of Coaches? [May 28, 2014] The Canadian web site, The Nilsen Report, wrote that there's a rumor going around BB newsgroups that BB producers are looking for four former BB stars to act as coaches to the HGs in BB16.

"So far, only two unnamed past winners have basically shown great interest to reappear pending negotiations on certain “perks” that they are requesting. One such winner was last seen on ‘The Amazing Race’ not too long ago, and the other has a scheduling conflict with his college which may (or may not) be cleared in time before the June 25th premier."

The Nilsen Report reminds readers, "Reposted from a BB newsgroup. As usual, take with a grain of salt until substantiated."

Big Brother 16
Rumors
[May 18, 2014] With a little over a month before the premiere of Big Brother 16, it's time for the rumor mills to begin grinding out fan fodder. I, personally hate the rumors because I prefer to wait until the facts are verified, however if I ignore the rumors everyone thinks I was ignorant of the information.  So here we go:

Before the start of BB14, there were a series of tweets from someone purporting to work at CBS, calling himself "The Corner Office."  About half of what was reported was true and were genuine scoops, the rest, not so accurate.  So for a brief period the lights were back on in the corner office, or at least that's what we're being led to believe...

So here goes, RUMOR #1:  The prevailing rumor is that former HGs will be teamed up with family members, like they did on Survivor.
Here's who is rumored to be part of the rumored twist:
Rachel (BB12/BB13) & Elissa (BB15)
Daniele (BB8/BB13) & Dominic (BB13)
Dan (BB10, BB14) & Chelsea (Wife)
Frank (BB14) & Sid 'Vicious' Eudy (Father)
Aaryn (BB15) & ?
Kara (BB14) & ?

The Corner Office tweeted, "Daniele Reyes and her sister were originally being talked about. However she was asking for WAY too much money."

  
Evel Dick Tweeted this pic.  
 
Big Brother 1 winner Eddie McGee  
 
Big Brother 9 winner, Adam Jasinski is doing time for selling oxycontin, an "investment" he made with his winnings.  

[Click Images to Enlarge]

 

 
The Corner Office promised more tweets, and now Twitter has suspended the account.

There could be some truth to bringing back some former HGs as the casting deadline was moved back last month, which could indicate that CBS wasn't happy the cast, which is what happened in BB14, and CBS told the Big Brother producers to add some familiar faces to the cast.

One name on the list that looks unlikely to me is Aaryn.  I believe the CBS was pleased with the ratings brought last season's controversy, but if seems doubtful that Aaryn would want to return after the beating her reputation from last summer's appearance.

RUMOR #2: "House of Winners" This sounds like a great idea, except it can't be done. First, as amazing as Eddie McGee  is, I doubt he could compete in the new physical challenges that were added to the game after his win. Dr. Will Kirby says he's done with reality TV, he says enjoyed it, but "has moved on."  BB4 winner, Jun Song now lives in Belgium. Evel Dick moved to Ireland, and BB9 winner, Adam Jasinski, is doing time for selling drugs.  Mike "Boogie" Malin loves the game and may need money, but I think it would take a LOT of money to get him back.

BTW:  Evel Dick tweeted the disturbing picture shown at left, saying he didn't know how he got that way.

RUMOR #2Big Brother All-Stars. This rumor comes around every season, and might have been bolstered this year by the CBS have a poll on the BB page asking if you'd want an All-Star season. BTW, 48% said they'd tune in for that, which surprised me, I always want fresh HGs.

And while I'm spouting off my opinions, why is it that they can use the same casting director for BB Canada and two seasons in a row BB Canada had good casts, and BB USA hasn't had a good house full of HGs in years? They say there's something like 25,000 that try out for Big Brother, and they can't find 14 that we'd want to watch? 


Big Brother 16 Starts June 25th [March 11, 2014] Big Brother, hosted by Julie Chen, will debut early for the second straight summer, beginning Wednesday, June 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) with the first of its three weekly broadcasts. The Thursday edition, featuring the live eviction show, premieres June 26 (9:00-10:00 PM) with the first eviction the following week (July 3). The Sunday broadcast premieres June 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).


InsideTV Podcast: Rachel and Brendon compare 'Big Brother' and 'Amazing Race' February 24, 2014 By Dalton Ross @ Entertainment Weekly Inside TV

I don’t know if there will be any life vests on this season of The Amazing Race, but if so, floaters better grab them. That’s because reality royalty returns tonight when husband-and-wife team Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly take their second tour on The Amazing Race when season 24 of the reality show premieres on CBS. But how does racing around the world at breakneck speed compare with backstabbing house guests in the backyard on the show that first made Brenchel famous, Big Brother? We asked the couple when they called into Entertainment Weekly Radio (SiriusXM, channel 105). - Read More -

Big Brother 16 an All-Stars Season? February 13, 2014 According to multiple reports, Big Brother 16 will NOT be an All-Star edition. These "reports" on other web sites are not based on any official word from CBS, just an assumption that since Robyn Kass is auditioning new houseguests, there will not be any former HGs in the house.  The assumption is very plausible as in the last few seasons there were very few "stars" that the viewers would want to see again, and favorites from early seasons, like Dr. Will have moved on.  However, the final decision is made by CBS, and after BB14 was cast, CBS felt the cast needed for be fortified with some former "Stars."

Last season had very good ratings despite (or perhaps because of) all the controversy, so you never know what they're doing until the show begins.  This season's theme could be: "Boobs, Bigots and Bedlam."


'Big Brother’ GinaMarie tweets ‘it just hurts’ over Nick Uhas YouTube video February 12, 2014, by Cindy Adams, Tabloid Headlines @ Examiner.com Even though “Big Brother 15” ended months ago, the drama continues between former housemates. On Feb. 11, 2014, GinaMarie Zimmerman, who was the second-place winner on the CBS reality show, tweeted her feelings were hurt after viewing a Reality TV Awards YouTube video that appears to be mocking her adoration of ex-fellow house guest, Nick Uhas, who also appears in the clip.

On Tuesday, GinaMarie tweeted, “i don’t understand some people. I mean u care about some1 so much, they just s*** on u, laugh & make fun of how u feel, its just makes me sick.”

Helpful Hints:

Robyn offers some helpful tips when auditioning:
  1. Know the show you’re auditioning for before you make the tape. Make sure the tape is specific for Big Brother.  [ ed: Not familiar with Big Brother? It seems like they try to mix in a few HGs that aren't you're average "super-fans" in the hopes they'll bring in a fresh perspective on playing the game, however you show still watch a few seasons from The Big Brother Archive so you know what you're getting yourself into, it can get pretty hardcore. -Morty]
  2. Take a little time preparing for the tape. Know what you want to say. Know what you want to portray when you make your tape.
  3. Don’t spend too much time stressing over what you’re going to say. You want it natural. You want it to flow.
  4. Look your best and have some enthusiasm for the project.
  5. Make your video in a place where you can be loud and talk freely.
  6. Always play back your video and watch it a couple of times before submitting it. Does it look how you want it to look?
  7. No need to offer special advice or ideas on how you’d improve the show.
  8. Don’t use these clichés:
    • I will boost your ratings.
    • I can be the sweetest girl, but then I can be the biggest bitch.
    • America’s going to love me or hate me.
    • I am the next Dr. Will.
  9. Most of all: Have fun! No regrets. Good luck!

 The submission deadline is TBD.

Former Big Brother Contestant Says Cast Should Take Responsibility For Controversial Season [October 10, 2013] by staff @ 10tv.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A former contestant on the CBS reality show Big Brother says some of his former cast mates should offer apologies for a season plagued by controversial race comments.

"If they really want to give themselves a moral boost, they will go out of their way and make it public through an apology," said Columbus native Nick Uhas. "Or they can own it and say, 'This is what I said, and it made such a huge commotion in the media, I can now say this is actually a problem in the United States.' They can address it now because people are watching and that would be the most responsible way to do it."

Uhas, who grew up in Hilliard and graduated from the Ohio State University, was voted out of the Big Brother house at the end of the second week.

Despite his short time in the house, he says his social media following has grown rapidly despite the controversial season. - Read More -

Big Brother' host Julie Chen defends not grilling GinaMarie Zimmerman and Spencer Clawson September 23, 2013 By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski @ realitytvworld.com

Big Brother host Julie Chen has explained why she didn't press GinaMarie Zimmerman and Spencer Clawson for more answers during the finale regarding the show's most controversial season yet.

Many of the fifteenth season's houseguests were caught making racial, homophobic and sexist slurs on Big Brother's 24/7 live-feed. One of the most outspoken contestants happened to be Aaryn Gries, whom Chen reprimanded and grilled earlier in the season after her eviction.

Given Zimmerman was fired from her job as a pageant coordinator for also making offensive comments -- such as referring to welfare as "n**ger insurance" -- viewers wondered why Chen arguably let her off the hook after she finished as the season's runner-up behind winner Andy Herren during the show's finale last week. - Read More -

Post-Big Brother Survival Guide September 24, 2013 by Dr. Ragan Fox @ raganfox.wordpress.com

Here are 10 things I wish I would have known after the season finale:

Post-Traumatic Stress. Feel disoriented? Overwhelmed by crowds? Forget what you’re saying in the middle of a sentence? That disorientation is part of the post-show experience and will get better as the year progresses.

One year is the new 15 minutes. The sweet, blinding aura of pseudo fame will last for about a year, less if you live in a major city like Los Angeles or New York. Big Brother notoriety’s like Velveeta. It’s cheesy, delicious, and has an expiration date. Enjoy it before it curdles. - Read More -

'Big Brother's' Aaryn Gries: 'We all make mistakes'
Big Brother' cast member asks for forgiveness for slurs made on the reality show.
September 21, 2013 By Greg Braxton @ Los Angeles Times

With the curtain drawn on the most controversial edition of CBS' reality show "Big Brother," cast member Aaryn Gries, whose ethnic and homophobic slurs made national headlines, is bracing herself to face a new reality — that many people feel she's a racist.

But the 23-year-old college student from San Marcos, Texas, who was unaware of the tempest her remarks created until emerging from the show's imposed isolation earlier this week, is determined to reverse that perception.

"I'm trying to show that I'm remorseful, and I hope that comes across because I really do feel very bad," she said in an interview with The Times. "If I don't move forward, I will be stuck in this, and it will eat me alive. I can't treat this experience as a negative. I have to take it as a positive because it's made me a better person." - Read More -

After watching the live feed from the current season of CBS’s Big Brother we have been left in disbelief and shock that GinaMarie Zimmerman our employee for the past five years. could display such acts of hate and racism. The East Coast USA Pageant is an outlet for girls and women to gain self-confidence, announce their platform and most importantly celebrate who they are. We believe and teach our contestants that beauty comes from within. We celebrate the diversity of our participants as all ethnicities are beautiful. We have never known this side of GinaMarie or have ever witnessed such acts of racism in the past.

We are actually thankful that this show let us see GinaMarie for who she truly is as we would never want her to be a role model to our future contestants. It is unfortunate that her hateful words were able to be witnessed by so many thousands of Big Brother fans as they were rightfully so deeply offended. We are unable to contact her at this time but when she returns from the Big Brother house we will be terminating her employment for her unforgivable behavior. In a business where we are surrounded by beauty every day we are saddened to see something so ugly come from someone we put on a very high pedestal.

'Big Brother' Stars to Appear on 'The Bold and the Beautiful' By Sami K. Martin @ Christian Post
"Big Brother 15" star Howard Overby was evicted from the Big Brother house weeks ago but has landed a guest-starring role on his mother's favorite show, "The Bold and the Beautiful," which has made him incredibly happy. Several other "Big Brother" stars will drop in for the special episodes airing in late October.

"This is so exciting! A blessing!" Overby told TV Guide. "I got a call out of the blue from 'The Bold and the Beautiful' asking if I'd like to appear on the show. I said yes without knowing any of the particulars because I was raised in a house with a lot of females – my mom, my grandma and two older sisters – and everyone watched the CBS soaps." - Read More -

During the taping of Big Brother, Kaitlin Barnaby and Jeremy McGuire were accused of having a showmance — a romance just for the show.

And RumorFix has learned that may be true.

The former couple was at a Wrap Party for Big Brother at Eleven Nightclub in West Hollywood and an eyewitness tells us “Jeremy said he’s not with Kaitlin anymore. They live in two separate states. It was just a showmance.”

They both were at the event, but an insider says they weren’t talking to each other all night.

They were joined by Judd Daugherty, David Girton, Elissa Slater and her sister, Big Brother All Star Rachel Reilly, who hosted the party. - Read More -
