Jokersupdates.com nimiseltä BB-fanisivulta löytyi tälläinen postaus, jossa spekuloidaan tulevan kauden tapahtumia, twistejä ja kilpailuja. Saattaa spoilata joitakin joten laitetaan tageihin...

[quote="Jokersupdates.com"]Big Brother 12 Cheat Sheet
Competition and Potential Twist Info!

All this info is based on past seasons of Big Brother from trends that I've picked up from competitions and whatnot. Feel free to add and share as you see fit.

1. First HoH Competition will involve endurance.
This was the case, to some extent, in BB4, 5, 6, 8, 9 (Power Couple), and 11. BB 2 and 3 involved the HG's narrowing down each other until 2 were left and then it went to popular vote, which hasn't been used since. BB7 (All-Stars) let HG's basically eliminate each other until we had our first co-HoH. BB10 had the HG's vote for an HoH before they even went into the house. The winner of the first HoH competition has only won Big Brother once (Lisa in BB3).

Might not be the best idea to win this if it is endurance since you'll likely be seen as a threat.

2. An evicted houseguest has been voted back into the game once every 3 seasons.
This was the case in BB's 3, 6, and 9, so 12 will likely be the next Big Brother that we see this twist. It will usually happen RIGHT BEFORE or RIGHT AT the Sequester point. The method of voting the HG back in has varied in each season. In BB3 2 of the 4 HG's were finalists based on how long they'd go on PB&J and how much prize money they'd give up. Of the 2 that remained, the remaining HG's still in the game voted on who to come back. In BB6 it was an America's Choice between previously evicted HG's. In BB9, it was an America's Choice, but then the HG's remaining in the game got to choose between the Mystery Houseguest that America voted for, or the person they had just evicted (James).

If you get the boot early, at least establish good relationships with the other Houseguests and play in a way that America will like you. This will better your odds on being voted back in.

3. If someone is voted back into the game, the next HoH competition will be endurance.
The returning Houseguest won this competition 2 out of 3 times. The only one who didn't win, Kaysar, was evicted this week after only 1 week back.

It would probably be a good thing to win this one, or at least let someone in your alliance win it.

4. If it's Eviction Night and there are between 8 and 6 total houseguests left, prepare for a possible Big Brother Fast Forward (double eviction).
The double eviction was introduced in BB5 when there were 7 people left. It was used twice in BB6 (9 and 6 HG's remaining) and once in BB7 (8 HG's remaining) but never since. The Big Brother Fast Forward was introduced in BB7 (6 HG's left at the start of eviction night) and used again in BB8 (6 HG's left) and BB10 (7 HG's left). It was planned for BB11 with 8 HG's left but canceled when Chima was expelled. It's a good bet that if you started with 13 or more total HG's you'll have a Big Brother Fast Forward. BB9 is an exception, they started with 16 HG's but because of the Couples at the beginning, the first 3 evictions saw 2 HG's leave at a time. Also, the HoH competition will likely be Before / After (BB8, 11's PoV comp). The PoV competition will likely involve speed and dexterity (BB7, BB8, BB10).

Come up with your Alliance at least the day before so you're on the same page and not scrambling when Julie Chen drops the Fast Forward bomb.

5. If there are 5 or 6 HG's left, prepare for a Morph-O-Matic PoV Competition.
Morph-O-Matic was introduced in BB5 and has been used every season since. BB5 used it when there were 8 HG's left. BB6, 9, 10, and 11 used it with 5 HG's left. BB7 and 8 used it with 6 HG's left.

If you want to win, study the memory wall intently starting at least a few days before the competition

6. When there are 7 or less HG's left, one HoH or PoV Competition will involve past events in the BB house.
This is usually in the form of an Otev PoV competition or a "What day did such and such event happen on?" HoH / PoV competition. It helps to know not only what happened on what date, but also to whom. Helps to know details of evictions and competition winners. There has been a competition like this in BB6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11.

Memorize dates, eviction vote tallies, and such

7. The first time the HoH faces powerless-ness is when there are 5 HG's left
It's happened in BB5 and 10 - the HoH has to put up 2 people and leave 2 people safe. One of the safe people wins the PoV and uses it. The HoH has no choice but to nominate the only eligible person. It's only gone down like this twice in BB history, but both times (Karen and Renny) the replacement nominee went home.

If you're the HoH, nominate the strongest competitors NOT in your alliance. This increases the chance that they won't win the PoV and you can keep some power if the PoV is won and used.

8. Final 4 HoH comp will likely be Fact / Fiction, True / False, or Before / After.
This can sometimes be a crapshoot with questions of things outside the BB house (BB9, 11), but can also be about past events in the Big Brother House.

If you're playing there's no reason to throw this one

9. Final 4 PoV comp will involve evicted HG's and their competition history / eviction. Speed helps a lot too
This has been the case going back to the first Final 4 PoV in BB4. Usually having to match an evicted Houseguest's Face / Name to something that describes them, often times you hafta match 2 clues per HG and clues can apply to more than 1 evicted HG. It's important to know how many times each HG was on slop, number of comps they played in, how many HoH's and PoV's they won, how many times they were on the block, and the vote tally when they were evicted.

Don't wait for the last week to prepare for this - keep mental notes as the game goes on. Also, be quick!

Also: No HG has EVER won the Final 4 PoV and gone on to win Big Brother! Since it was introduced in BB4 - Alison, Cowboy, Ivette, Janelle, Daniele, Ryan, Memphis, and Kevin won the PoV, was safe that week, but was either evicted next or lost at the end. This is probably just a bad coincidence.

10. The Final 3-part HoH competition will be Endurance, something involving HoH's / Veto Winners / Nominees, and Jury Fill-In-The-Blanks
It's been like this since BB8, and BB4, 5, and 6 wasn't much different. Winner of Round 1 moves on to Round 3. Winner of Round 2 moves on to Round 3, Round 2 loser is eliminated. Winner of Round 3 is the new HoH.

The First tie-breaker for part 3 of the Final HoH comp is "How many total eviction votes have been cast (including tie-breakers)?"
We saw this in BB6 and BB11. BB4's tiebreaker was different since the answer was different for each Houseguests and involved that season's X-Factor twist. The 2nd Tie-Breaker, which has only been come to in Season 6, was "How many total hours have you been in the Big Brother House?"

It helps to be good at endurance (particularly cold water, since we know BB loves cold water), to be able to identify the order of HoH's and nominees quickly, as well as have good relationships with the jury members to guess how they answered. Know the total eviction vote count and hours in the house in case of tie-breaker[/quote]
You´re welcome!

Melkoinen ero, eikö totta ?
Tuli tavattua hakemus tarkkaan läpi. USA:n hakemuksessa oli parasta oletus, että hakijat tuntevat Big Brotherin periaatteen hyvin.
Omasta mielestä hyviä kysymyksiä, joita ei vastaavina Suomen hakemuksessa ole:
Facebook.
Nykyisen suhteen taso asteikolla 1-10.
Mitä kumppani pitäisi 3 kk erosta?
Tarkemmat kysymykset viihdeammattilaisuudesta, julkisista esiintymisistä ja viihdeurahaaveista.
Tarkemmat kysymykset rikollisuudesta ja muista oikeusasioista.
Julkisuudessa olleet nakukuvat tai vastaavat.
Isä- ja äitisuhde.
Lemmikit.
Kuka on sankarisi ja miksi?
Mielitvsarja, -elokuva, -musiikki, -lehti, -ruoka, ja -väri.
Onko elänyt kämppiksen kanssa?
Tarkemmat kysymykset kiivaasta luonteesta ja väkivaltaisesta käyttäytymisestä.
Kuvaile täydellinen päiväsi.

Big Brotheriin liittyvät kysymykset 60-69 ovat kaikki hyviä, kuten:
Mikä ärsyttäisi sinua eniten elämisessä tusinan muun asukkaan kanssa?
Keistä aikaisemmista BB-asukkaista olet pitänyt ja keistä ei. Perustele.
Mikä Big Brother-talossa asumisessa olisi vaikeinta?
Mitä tekisit, jos Big Brother tekee sinusta kuuluisan?
Onko sinulla strategiaa Big Brotherin voittamiseksi?
Mitä muuta toivot saavasi Big Brotherin voitosta paitsi rahapalkinnon?

Big Brotherin toistuva teema on ”odota odottamatonta” Kuinka käsittelet odottamattoman? Millainen juonenkäänne olisi sinusta haastava?
Niko Saarinen ja Aki Manninen ne yhteen soppii.

bigbrothernetwork.com kirjoitti:Exclusive Interview with Big Brother Casting Producer: What It Takes For BB12

Kuva

Every preseason of Big Brother is peppered with the same question, “what does it take to be cast?” Luckily for those asking, this past weekend amidst the height of Big Brother 12 casting, I had the chance to sit down with Kassting Inc.’s Senior Casting Producer, Tedd, to find out the “do’s and don’ts” of getting on the best reality show ever, Big Brother.

Tedd has been part of the Big Brother casting process since season 2 so it was pretty much like talking with BB royalty when you consider he’s had a decisive role for the past decade in my favorite summer past time. If anyone knows how to get a spot on the couch in front of Julie Chen then it’s him. So get ready because you’re about to read the guidance I took away from a top authority when it comes to being cast and getting your key to the house.

What advice would you give to Big Brother applicants?
Be yourself. This was the most frequent piece of advice given out at the audition. Relax, stay comfortable, and just be yourself. Don’t overthink it. One person at the audition was frantically asking every question under the sun. “Can I talk about this?” “Am I allowed to… ?” “What about if… ?” Deep breath, buddy, it’s going to be okay. I know it’s nerve racking. heck, I was nervous when I first got there and I wasn’t even trying out, but you’re in good hands with this casting crew so don’t worry. They’ll tell you everything you need to know.

Don’t go in to the audition with a scripted speech. They want to see who you are and discover for themselves why you’d be great. Don’t push your angle on why you’ll boost ratings or why you’re the next Evel Dick. Kassting Inc. producers are pros at putting together the best casts, so show them who you are and they’ll know what to look for.

Which is better: mail-in apps or in-person auditions?
Equal weight. I was assured that ALL video applications are reviewed and considered. If you send in a tape then casting will watch it. I promise.

Will applicants increase their chances by attending more than one audition? What about mailing in multiple applications?
One and done. You’re welcome to go to as many audition events as you’d like, but once they’ve seen you then you’re all set for the season. Same goes for the mail-in applications. There’s no need to send multiple submissions either since they definitely review every tape (see the above question). If you’ve attended a casting event or mailed in your video then you’re good to go for this season.

Are you looking to cast a certain style, personality, age, etc.?
Anyone could make it. They’re looking for the best applicants. One region of the country isn’t any better than the next (so don’t go flying to the Alaska audition thinking you’ve got an inside track!). Young or old, you’ve got a fair chance.

What approach gets the most attention?
Gimmicks, but don’t be gimmicky. Showing up in Jen’s red leotard will catch attention (yes, it’s happened more than once) but you’ll be remembered for that rather than who you were. I asked this question thinking I might get a golden nugget for you, my faithful readers, but instead it was a really good reminder of what they’re seriously interested in: the real you.

How soon after an audition or mail-in application could someone expect to hear back?
Anytime from now until the day the houseguests enter the front door. I know a lot of applicants are disheartened when they don’t hear back in the first 24, 48, 72 hours, etc., but be patient. There’s no magical window of time that will tell you whether or not you’ve been selected. Tedd really stressed that things stay fluid until the game starts so take a deep breath, go ahead with your life, and keep an ear out for that call.

What is the worst thing an applicant could do that would ruin his/her chances at being cast?

Talking about the casting process. I heard it over and over at the audition, after you audition your mouth should be a steel trap. You tell your best friend, who tells his best friend, who tells her best friend and then suddenly it’s everywhere and your shot is over. Revealing anything will disqualify you. Don’t even think you’re sneaky enough either because they have a dedicated team of “searchers” who are checking things out everywhere. It’s okay to be on websites like this (phew!) but seriously, DO NOT discuss anything about your audition, call back, or anything else.

Another no-no is to lie on your application. They’ll run background checks and discover anything you’re trying to hide. Being honest goes hand-in-hand with being yourself on this one.

What if you don’t get cast this year? Give up or try again?
Keep trying each season. If they like you they’ll push for you in later seasons. Tedd told me he pushed several seasons to get one of his casting favorites on the show only to then see him be the first evicted! Just because you didn’t make it one year doesn’t mean you won’t get on. Evel Dick tried out for at least 5 years!
bigbrothernetwork.com kirjoitti:Exclusive Behind The Scenes Of A Big Brother 12 Audition Event

Kuva

When I saw that Kassting Inc. would be holding a Big Brother 12 audition event in Washington, DC, I decided it was finally time to pull back the curtain and see what one of these events was like. Along with the seasonal question of “how do I get cast,” I’m often asked, “what should I expect?” Honestly, I hadn’t a clue so I thought this would be a great chance to see just how the initial casting process worked. Luckily, when I checked with Kassting Inc.’s Senior Casting Producer for Big Brother, Tedd, I discovered that he’d personally be there and working the event so I knew this would be an ideal chance to visit.

I arrived at the audition location, DC’s own Madam’s Organ (it’s in Adams Morgan, see what they did there?), about an hour before the event was set to begin and I found there were already more than a dozen Big Brother hopefuls lined up outside the bar. I snapped a few pics and then sat, waited, and watched. As more people started arriving, the crowd continued to get friendlier and friendlier. People were sharing stories about what brought them there and wishing each other luck. You’d think there were enough spots on the show for everyone considering how absent the attitudes of competition were amongst the applicants.

The first sighting of Kassting Inc. came just a few minutes ahead of schedule when Sierra, a Casting Associate, came outside to welcome the crowd. She brought out printed numbers and “small apps” which looked to be abbreviated applications for anyone who forgot theirs. Sierra walked the line and chatted with those who had questions, even encouraging those who came just for moral support to give the audition a try. When she had made her way through the crowd I introduced myself and was allowed to come inside and meet with Tedd.

While Tedd graciously answered my “how to get cast” questions (you can read that entire interview as well), the crowd of applicants began to file in to the bar area. Madam’s Organ is set up with a few different floors with the bar being on the entry-level. The auditions were held on the second floor at the back of the room so there was plenty of privacy. After we had talked for a while, Tedd and Sierra invited me to stick around and watch the process, which I excitedly accepted.

I grabbed a beer from the bar where a few of the applicants were seated I started to chat up the Big Brother 12 hopefuls. I was asked not to record names or personal details, which was fine by me because of the strict “do not discuss your casting process” requirement given to applicants. I was, however, okay’d to have general, anonymous discussions with those at the audition. Much like I had seen outside, the attitude was excited and happy. Most people were relaxed and just having a good time hanging out with one another like old friends.

When the auditions were set to begin, Sierra called over the first three numbers. Each individual went upstairs for his or her “mugshot” with their number for later reference. Then everyone came back down and went one by one to talk with Tedd as their numbers were called. As they waited, Sierra worked as a sort of “warmer” by having small talk and answering any questions they might have. She worked to put applicants at ease by informing them that she was the meanest person they were going to meet during the process. Considering she was being ridiculously kind and friendly to everyone, they didn’t have anything to worry about.

While the Big Brother hopefuls waited their turn to interview with Tedd, I had the chance to talk with some of them. Most were anxious but enthused and happy to talk with me. Some applicants had traveled from a few states away and others were on their second or third casting event of the season! I was impressed with their ambition and could hardly fault them for trying so hard. Although most applicants were forthcoming with general details there were a few who locked down immediately. One guy asked if his answers were confidential (of course!) and even then would only comment that “maybe” he had applied before. He then said the smartest thing I heard all day, “the game has already started.” He was right! As I looked around the audition crowd, I could see the cliques forming as though it was already the first night of Big Brother 12. Those in line even admitted to mini-alliances of support. These were true Big Brother fans.

The process was slow with each applicant having roughly two minutes with Tedd and over 50 applicants already in line. After a few hours, I took a lunch break to go over my notes and get a chance for some fresh air. I came back to the auditions with just 15 minutes left to go. Sierra was down to her last three applicants from a once near-full room only an hour before. She explained that as time goes on at the auditions they start to group up the applicants and so they had been going two at a time to make sure everyone had a chance before the event ended. We talked about the pros and cons of a group meet with the interviewer. While I ultimately felt a solo exchange would be the best, Sierra made the smart observation that this is a social game and a group interaction would give insight to just how you might be in the house. I had to admit this made a lot of sense and really could be a better way to go.

When the last group of applicants had finished with Tedd, I asked for one last chance to chat with him. Sierra checked and said I could come on back to meet him. It was like going to meet the Godfather! I had been so caught up in the initial rush when I first arrived that I hadn’t taken it in, but heading up the stairs and through the dimly lit bar to the interview area, I was seeing just what it felt like for the applicants. I posed a few more questions to Tedd while looking for a glimmer of hope for the DC team but was reminded he couldn’t answer that. We did get a chance to talk as one Big Brother fan to another and I was thrilled to know that the Senior Casting Producer for my favorite reality show took it as seriously as I did. He too is a die-hard fan, and he shared his moments of yelling at the screen when his favorite fell behind or made the wrong alliance. Knowing that Tedd not only had a professional investment but also a personal one in the show was comforting because of his dedication to making sure we got the best cast possible each season.

Sierra came back to let Tedd know that another last-minute straggler had just arrived. Glancing at his watch, Tedd admitted there were still a few minutes left before the cut-off time and agreed to do the final interview. I thanked Tedd and Sierra for the incredible opportunity to sit in on the process and excused myself so the last applicant could have her chance, because who knows, she could be the next Jordan, Janelle, or, shudder, Chima!

My afternoon at the Big Brother casting event in Washington, DC, was awesome. Having been a fan since season one, I had always been curious just how the cast was selected and brought together. Kassting Inc. afforded me that chance to be the kid in the candy shop and watch it all take place. Tedd and Sierra were the utmost professionals and had exactly the kind of attitudes towards the applicants that I would hope for if I had the guts to apply! To all the Big Brother casting conspiracy theorists out there who think each season is filled with plants: the process is real and the people are authentic.

Now the only thing left to do is sit back, relax, and wait for that “casting is finished” announcement from Kassting Inc.!
You´re welcome!

onlinebigbrother.com kirjoitti:Big Brother 12 Spoilers: Julie Chen wants to take on CBS’s day time take show “The View”

Kuva

CBS President Les Moonves’ wife, Julie Chen, could soon be the face of a new daytime panel chat show for mothers. Chen — who has a son, Charlie, with Moonves — and “Roseanne” star and lesbian mom Sara Gilbert are preparing to shoot a pilot for the network for a show to rival ABC’s “The View.” Other possible panelists linked to the project are Lisa Rinna and pregnant “Real Housewives of New York City” star Bethenny Frankel. A CBS source said, “It’s a daytime panel show to take on ‘The View,’ targeted at women with children and hosted by celebrities, journalists and regular moms. A pilot will be shot in early May.”

For the full article: http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/target_ ... z0lqySeKyw

Julie Chen has been on maternity leave since she and her husband, CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves, had a son in September. She will tape a pilot for the talk show in early May, according a person familiar with the discussions. It’s unclear how the talk show would affect Chen’s post on “The Early Show,” which she has co-hosted since 2002.

Chen, who has been at her home in Los Angeles during her leave, is gearing up to return to the morning show in the next few weeks, according to a network source. Last week, she taped an interview with George Lopez that aired on the program, and she plans to officially come back in mid-May, anchoring for a time out of the New York studio, the source said. Chen is then expected to return to Los Angeles in the summer to tape the reality show “Big Brother,” but will continue hosting “The Early Show” from there. The “View”-style talk show is just one pilot CBS is considering to replace “As The World Turns,” which is slated to end in September after 54 years on the air.

big-brother-11Image Credit: John P. Filo/CBSIt’s our duty at Hollywood Insider to report the big headlines in television each and every day. Other times, we just look for an excuse to run a picture of Julie Chen. Today, you get both! CBS announced that the 12th edition of Big Brother will premiere on Thursday, July 8. The network will air the reality show three nights a week on Wednesdays (8-9 p.m. ET/PT), Thursdays (eviction show from 8-9 p.m.) and Sundays (8-9 p.m).

CBS used to air BB on Tuesdays but the network wanted to keep its winning line-up of dramas on that night intact for the summer.

The network will announce the new cast at a later date. Last year’s edition of BB posted a 7 percent increase in viewers (7.08 million from 6.60 million), and a 4 percent jump in adults 18-49 (2.5 rating/8 share from 2.4/07). Each of the three weekly broadcasts also posted summer-to-summer growth. The reality show follows a group of people living in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones; the last remaining houseguest receives a prize of $500,000.

Big Brother is exec produced by Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan in association with Endemol U.S.A. And yes, Chen will return as host.
You´re welcome!

BBDish kirjoitti:BIG Big Brother 12 News

Happy Tuesday, BB Lovers! If you're with us on facebook or twitter, you know I've been waiting on the go ahead to reveal BIG Big Brother 12 news. The wait is over! Here it is:

1st up, the Big Brother Live Feeds Early Bird Special is back! It goes live this Friday, June 18th and it runs through til July 7th, the day before Big Brother 12 begins. It's a fantastic deal at 29.99 for 3 months! I'll have the links available for you here the moment they go live on Friday!

As always, BBDish and all Big Brother related sites rely on and are supported by you using our sign up links to get the live feeds. If you love what we do, and you want to help us keep doing it, please keep that in mind when you choose where to click. :)

2nd: You no longer need to download realplayer in order to watch the feeds! All you have to do is sign up, go to the site, sign in & you'll have immediate access via your chosen web browser. In other words, just like you're viewing BBDish right now (or any other site), that's how easy you'll be able to access the feeds! I've had a look around the new digs, and it's super easy to use!

3rd... For those of you who've been missing "House Calls," miss no more! There will be live events almost every day! And...

The newly wed, stunning bride Janelle Pierzina of BB6/BB7 has signed on to become a part of the Big Brother 12 experience!

To see more of Phil's beautiful photos of Janelle's wedding, just click the pic!

4th - There is another *very* popular, very recent BB alum who may be participating as well, but I'm gonna have to wait just a little bit longer to confirm that one! ;)

5th - You can also look forward to a cool new chat experience, updated flashback, web chats, facebook & twitter integration - so you'll be able to share everything very easily, and... vastly improved non-BB content!

On the dishy end of things, I've also gotten word and the name of another potential BB12 HG - no, not the one who tweeted she was a finalist - but if I publish it this early, said HG is almost sure to be toast before he/she even makes it to sequester, so I've got to let this one stew for a while longer.

The BB12 house decs reveal & tour with Julie Chen & Allison Grodner should be happening very soon now. Then comes media day - where they throw a bunch of mostly non-BB related bloggers and journalists into the house to give everyone a look, promote the show, and confuse the heck out of a handful of fans who think that the journalists are the new HGs. That'll be followed by our first look at the real BB12 HGs, their bios & interviews - once they're sequestered, which happens about 5-7 days before the show begins
BBDish kirjoitti:Major Big Brother 12 House Details

We just had another visit from our Anonymous commenter, and this time the house dec description is so detailed, even I'm inclined to believe it! Might someone be having a bit of fun with me? Sure! Why not? Might this incredibly detailed description be legit? It's equally possible!

We're all so excited for BB12 to start & to find out any details right now, ASAP, yesterday... So I've decided to bring this up to the front page and make it as accessible as possible. Without further ado, here's "Anonymous"!



Media day was yesterday. Here's what I can share.

* As expected, the BB12 house is decorated with mostly a beach/summer camp theme. One of the walls has been taken down and there are now only two bedrooms (not counting HOH).

* The small bedroom looks like a beach with various size sandcastles (fake) and beach balls. There's a really pretty ocean mural painted on the wall with reeds running along it which makes it look very realistic. Two of the beds are beach lounge chairs and two of the beds are simply beach towels. In this room, there are no mattresses.

* The big bedroom looks like a summer camp cabin. There are bunk beds along the wall and a big sleeping bag on the floor which fits more than one person. A giant (fake) moose head hangs from the wall. The dressers are adorned with lanterns and other cabin-esque accents.

* In the living room, there's a big screen behind the couches and nomination chairs that plays a continuous loop of crashing waves. Fake palm trees stand on each side of it. The carpet is shag and sandy colored. The wall opposite the nomination chairs is decorated with an ocean sunset mural which is gorgeous. The whole room looks like a tropical paradise.

* There's a large fish tank between the living room and the kitchen with really exotic looking fish inside. It's the first thing you see when you walk into the house.

* The kitchen looks like a cabin. There's a big round picnic table in the corner. Glossy wood paneling covers the walls which lends to the summer camp cabin theme. The floors are hardwood. The memory wall is made of glossy wood paneling as well and it's designed to look like big (plastic) ladybugs are crawling all over it. Really cute.

* The bathroom is really pretty. The walls are shiny and metallic and decorated with different shades of blue and the floor looks like sand (fake though). The seashell sinks are designed to look like they're floating in mid air. Big blue lava lamps hang on the wall on each side of the mirror. The bathroom gives off an "under the sea" vibe.

* The diary room looks the same as last year except the background is lit red instead of blue.

* The hallway to the HOH room is also beach themed, but instead of the usual couch/chess set on the upstairs landing, there's now a mini gazebo.

* The HOH room is bizarre. It's sort of a creepy carnival theme which doesn't fit with the rest of the house at all. In one corner, there's a fortune telling arcade machine. In another corner, there's a tank with a giant (and I mean GIANT) tarantula inside. Along the walls are funhouse mirrors which make you look taller/shorter/fatter/skinnier as you walk past them.

* The backyard has a volleyball net but there are no volleyballs. Just beach balls. The pool table is gone and a foosball table has taken is place.

* The "green" room (formerly the spa/workout room) is perhaps the most bizarre room we've ever seen in all twelve seasons of Big Brother. It's decorated to look like a funeral parlor. In the middle of the room is a big white casket with an open lid. Behind the casket is a large frame that says "rest in peace" with a space for someone's picture in the middle. The casket is surrounded by funeral bouquets. With the exception of a small table in the corner and a candy dish, there is nothing else in this room. The walls are plain white with minimal decor.



And that's all he or she wrote! Thanks for dropping in! I can't wait to spend another terrific Big Brother Season with you watching the feeds & here on BBDish!

bigbrothernetwork.com kirjoitti:Big Brother 12 Twist Revealed: One Of These Things Is Not Like The Others

The first Big Brother 12 spoiler has been announced and there’s no uncertainty when the word comes directly from BB12 host, Julie Chen:

“For the first time in Big Brother history, one player is not playing to win. This summer a saboteur will reek [sic] havoc in the house.”

So this season one of the Houseguests will not be playing for money. Instead he/she will be playing to sabotage the game. Think of it as America’s Player but one step further removed with no chance to win the half-million dollar prize.

Big Brother 12 - Saboteur Among Us?

Isompi kuva täällä: http://i46.tinypic.com/mc9opx.jpg

And some other information:

This year we’ve gone with darker colors accented with complimentary colors. Very sexy. But it’s still BB and and there is plenty of colors popping out. We’ve had practice HGs playing the game to get the crew back in the habit. We’re ready for the real HGs to get in there. It looks GREAT! We’re very pleased.

In the kitchen is teal and yellow. The staircase is also yellow. A gaggle of flamingo lounge under the stairs.

Outside the HOH door, think Miami night life for the wall paper. Pink Neon by door. Palm trees that go all the way down and appear in the wall.

In the spa is a big 6 person bed.

My favorite room is the bathroom. Stripes of small yellow, black, and white tiles cover the walls. Will we have a Killer Bee alliance?

The pool table is back.
You´re welcome!

welovebigbrother.com kirjoitti:Media Day Blog: House details from inside this year’s ‘summer shack

After spending 12 hours inside the Big Brother house for Media Day earlier this month and now that the Early Show has given you the first look, WeLoveBigBrother.com‘s Matt Maynard is able to give you some of the first details about this season’s new digs.

Standing inside this year’s Big Brother house, I felt like I had ventured well into south Florida. From the Miami teal/steal kitchen color combo, to the friendly flamingos greeting me at the bottom of the stairs, all the way to the oversized palm trees and shell collection—you know there’s bound to be plenty of trouble in paradise this year.

While I may have been a little caught up in excitement (as, of course, I was standing inside “THE” Big Brother house), I did take a time to document some of the big décor details that I remember from my day inside the house. Please keep in mind that I have as much interest in interior design as Big Brother fans do in watching the fish tank on the feeds—so my descriptions may make some of you cringe.

Front Entrance

On the wall across from the front door, two palm tree trunks run up both sides of the wall. The top of the trees (which may have had coconuts) branch out across from the second-floor chess area. I must say though, when I first ran into the house, I totally missed these.

Living Room

The living room didn’t stick out much to me this year. One large purple wallpaper wall is noticeable when you first walk into the room (with a light, shiny pattern). The nomination chairs were white Florida beach house-like chairs with basket material-like arm rests. The main couches didn’t stick out either—they were long with short arm rests complete with plenty of pillows. Large white shells and other décor sat on a table for decoration.

Bedrooms

There were three main bedrooms—we were only given access to two. My room (the bedroom without a door) had three little beds with dark wallpaper that had a busy tropical tree design. If I remember correctly, each bed was a different bright color.

The other bedroom (which we sat in for nearly an hour without talking—explaining why I remember it so clearly) was nicknamed the “rainbow room.” It had bright, vertically-stripped wallpaper (with a main color of red) with three beds and foe glass block walls that showcased bright rainbow colors. The room also had large IKEA-like circle lights hanging from the ceiling. Side note: While I sat in the bed looking at this light, I realized for the first time that many of the rooms in the Big Brother house had waffle ceilings… I found that funny.

The third bedroom remained locked and, according to producers, would again be a “have not” bedroom. It’s hard to say what’s behind that door—but, for my super BB fans, they even covered the hole for the camera that can pan between both bedrooms—so there was definitely no peaking!

Kitchen/Dining Room

TV Guide gave you the first look inside these areas—the teal kitchen cabinet doors definitely catch your attention when you walk into this area. Beyond the flamingos waiting at the bottom of the stairs, there was not a lot that drew my attention.

One fun story: When we were cooking dinner in the kitchen, we went to use the microwave and learned that it wasn’t plugged in or even near an outlet. After asking the Big Brother gods why they would have a microwave nowhere near an outlet, I carried it (somewhat clumsily) to the other counter and set it in between the stove and sink. Needless to say, I found it enjoyable that it still sits there in the picture published in TV Guide. And to think, I thought I had no career in interior design…

“Cabana Room”

Well… contrary to what some fansites have posted, there are no coffins and spiders in this room—so let me be the first to “kill off” those rumors.

In the past we’ve seen this room as an exercise room and a spa room—it looks like this year it will mainly be used for games and naps. Before entering, an awning sticks out over the outside of the door. A large “sitting area” with tons of pillows takes up a majority of the room. Directly to the left of the door sits a fish tank.

Speaking of the fish tank, I imagine our “competition/nomination view” on the live feeds will again be a fish tank—and I bet this is the command center for it.

Bathroom

Unfortunately, this is the room I remember least about (it may have to do with the fact that I consider the bathroom like an office conference room—it’s only a place for business). I do remember while washing my hands the countertop was white with a rectangular sink. Also, per normal, a small seating area sat right behind the sink.

One interesting note: It was very odd to use the bathroom in the Big Brother house. First, it goes without saying that it’s somewhat uncomfortable to be wearing a microphone while you’re “taking care of business.” Secondly, it’s also very weird to use the bathroom when the door doesn’t lock—I never thought about it while I was there, but I never knocked before entering!

HOH Room

When you travel up the yellow staircase, the second floor again has a wallpaper collage-like scene on it (I don’t quite remember what it was of). In the sitting area, a rounded purple sitting area again allows players to play chess—which at the time, was missing a chess piece (let’s hope they found it).

The HOH room did not seem a lot different to me this year. Similar to last season, a collage-like scene of a crowd at the beach filled one wall, with the same clever paneling in front of it. A few drape-like cloths hung out from this, which I thought was very weird (and apparently very hard to describe). A big white shag rug took up a lot of the floor, and a desk for a computer sat in the corner. Interestingly enough, our inquisitive group opened it to find a whole manicure/pedicure set inside of it—and being the shy bunch that we were… we used it.

Again, I don’t remember a lot about the HOH bathroom either, but together, both the room and bathroom definitely were elegant and something worth fighting for in the game.

Backyard

The backyard looked very similar to last season. It had a mural that ran against the back wall—a summer, beach-like theme. The pool and hot tub were still there (and let me just say, the hot tub is A LOT smaller in person). The weight area was in its normal place, as were the washer, dryer, and pool table. The sitting area looked the same, with the same flower/ivy-like set-up on the wall behind the chairs.

Diary Room

The diary room was the coolest part of the house for me as a fan. My favorite part was… [Matt, you are not allowed to talk your about diary room sessions with other houseguests]. Well, it was worth a try… Needless to say, the area doesn’t look a whole lot different than last year. And I can tell you that I thought it got really toasty in there with all the lights!

Kausi pärähti käyntiin. Kuka on sabotööri? Veikkasin aluksi Monetia, mutta muutin mieleni jakson edetessä. Veikkaan nyt Mattia.

Enzo ja Britney suosikit ensivaikutelmalta. Rachelistä tulee mieleen Bianca (BBAU8)

Tämäkin on nyt alkanut...

Ekan jakso oli samanlainen kuin edellisissäkin. Ensin Julien alkujorinat, lyhyet asukasesittelyt ja twistin paljastus. Sen jälkeen asukkaat laitettiin sisään ja kun asukkaiden esittelykierros oli ohi, pyörähti ensimmäinen HoH -kilpailu käyntiin.

----
Twistinä siis tänä vuonna on, että yksi asukkaista on nk. sabotööri, asukas, joka ei voi voittaa, ja jonka ainoa tehtävä on tehdä talon asukkaiden elämästä mahdollisimman vaikeaa ja samalla suorittaa katsojien viikottain antamia tehtäviä. Jos sabotööri selviää talossa kauden puoleenväliin saakka paljastumatta/häädöltä, saa hän palkinnoksi $50 000 eli saman verran kuin finaalin kakkonen.

Vaikuttaa ihan hyvältä käänteeltä, toivon mukaan onnistuu.

Suosikkeina ensivaikutelmalta Matt ja Enzo. Sabotööriksi veikkaan joko Andrew:ta, Mattia tai Annieta.

Keskiviikon jaksossa taitaa selvitä sabotööri. Ei ole oikeastaan mitään hajua, mutta olisikohan se Annie? Jotenkin epäilyttävältä vaikuttaa. Matt on toinen epäilty.

Britney muistuttaa ulkonäöltään erästä suomalaista muusikkoa IMO.

Veikkaan että sabotööri on Kathy, etelän sheriffieukko.

On kyllä taas niin vakiokamaa asukkaat, lähes kaikki niistä ärsyttää suuresti. Varsinkin jenkkirealityjen must, eli superüberhomo, jonka pitää korostaa homouttaan ja mainita siitä kolmetoista kertaa minuutissa.

Talo taitaa olla taas sama, chenbot on yhtä kammottava ku ennenki ja edelleen ärsyttää kun joka väliin pitää leikata asukkaiden diary room selostusta tapahtumista.

Seuraavassa jaksossa selviää sabotööri. Toivottavasti se ei ole Annie, tai muuten leikki loppuisi lyhyeen. Veikkaan nyt vahvimmin Mattia, toisena epäiltynä on Kristen. Kristen on pitänyt varmaan tarkoituksella matalaa profiilia, eikä häntä ole pahemmin näkynyt. Voipi paljastua "yllättäen" sabotööriksi. Punden veikkaamaan Kathyyn en usko. Vaikuttaa sellaiselta perustyhmältä eukolta, enkä pysty kuvittelemaan häntä viekkaaksi sabotööriksi.

Anniea saisi lähteä hus pois ihanaista Britneyä uhittelemasta. [smilie=nonono.gif]
