Big Brother 9 premieres February 12th on CBS!

[bostonboy20]

I missed the casting call in Boston last weekend....damn work...so I need to send in my application and video like pronto!

 

[Ontariobear]

At least we'll have something new to watch.

 

[falconfan]

Maybe with teh striking writers they won't be able to fix the show this year.

Big Brother doesn't even need writers. Alison Grodner comes up with everything.

This season is rumoured to have new twists:

Big Brother 9 After Dark is getting axed in favor of a having Sequester house filmed. The sequester house will be filmed by a regular TV crew it will not be a 24Hour live feed. The show will air on ShowTime from midnight to 3 AM on a daily basis.

In a recent interview with Alison Grodner it was confirmed that there will be no America’s player. “That’s really hard to do twice,” Grodner said. “Anyone coming to be a part of ‘Big Brother’ this year would know about it and we’d hate to have people act differently because they think that the viewers are in control. … That doesn’t mean that it couldn’t return in some other way, but doing exactly what we did again, no.”

Food budgets similar to Austarlia and the UK Big Brother

There will be no link between the players.

Due to last seasons prolific rule breaking Big Brother 9 may institute a 3 Strikes rule, and any contestant who knowingly or unknowingly breaks 3 of the golden rules, is called to the DR and summarily dumped without a word to the other HGs, then replaced by an alternate HG. Strict lights out policy and wake up times. Serious regimentation. Chores. Etc…. Almost to the point where the season would be referred to as Big Brother Boot Camp.

Go back to the nominees picking someone they want to play them in the POV, as opposed the picking a “blessed by god ping pong ball”. If that person the nominee selected wins the Power of Veto they have to take you off the block.

Outgoing Head of Household is allowed to play for the following weeks HOH.

Big Brother 10 will start in June and be made up of semi popular movie stars. Rob and Amber Mariano are rumored once again to be casted on Big Brother 10

Chen-bot to return as the Host.

These are only rumors. The only thing we can really confirm is Julie Chen acting as host.

 

[YeahWhatever]

I saw Daniele at Target last week. Ugh!

It's weird that this show is coming back so early. It's such a summer thing for me.

 

[Davelandia]

I love this show too - and I'm looking forward to it. Though it is a summer staple, having the live feeds to watch will give me something extra to do while home on those cold winter nights.

 

[YeahWhatever]

Yuck! I'm sorry about that. Did you steal her wallet? jk

Haha! No. I was hoping we could re-enact Pumpkin vs. New York, me being Pumpkin, but I didn't want to take it there

She was alone and had 2 full carts of crap -- mostly small furniture and lamps and stuff. It looked like she got dumped and had to get brand new stuff for her apartment. Oh, and she drives a brand new red Mitsubishi Eclipse

HA HA! OMG, I LOOOVE you FalconGuy, we are SOO this same person. I too hated the Donatos and thought that BB fixed the show in their favor. In fact, I hate the way BB always seems to screw people over. On All Stars -- even though I liked Will -- it was clear they were fixing it in favor of Chilltown too and yeah, Janelle is overrated, but even when she was evicted, Erika should have won. Not that toad, Boogie.

Anyway, I'll still be watching.

lol I love ya too Nik and yeah the show is pretty much always rigged. I mean I liked Janelle and all but it was clear event then things were rigged in her favor. This should keep us at bay until the new survivor.

I just checked BBQ site for updates and here are 2:

1. Fucking nasty Dick will take the place of Julie Chen in talking to the viewers on Big Brother After Dark. That means you'll see him every 20 minutes when they cut to commercials and everytime they return to the show, smiling and talking to you saying "You're watching Big Brother After Dark on Showtime". Fucking nasty, who wants to watch that?

2. Transexual Castmember? Here's what an auditioner posted:

"Alright, so I went to the open call in Atlanta and while I did not get a call back, I can share a tidbit that makes me think this secret thing may have some validity. In my group of 5, there was a girl, a blonde model from Atlanta and she mentioned something like "I am dating 2 guys - one knows and the other doesn't know" after she said this one of the casting people stopped her and said "don't tell the rest of what the other guy doesn't know in front of everyone else". After we were all dismissed, she was asked too stay behind. There was a gay guy in my group who I walked out with and I wondered aloud what was up with her and what was the big secret. The gay guy told me she was a tranny - a friend of his knew her and he told her to come to the open call.She mentioned she had never seen the show, knew nothing about it all, and just because of her "secret" I am 99% positive she got a call back and would not be surprised to see her on the show. She was really pretty but I HATE HATE HATE that another know nothing about the game dumb bitch may be getting on because she has some sort of overexaggerated "secret". Even though I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to blow her spot up - I won't mention her name - I can PM it to Aero or SoA and when we know they are sequestered I will post it. Again, she may not be on - but they made a big deal of her not spilling her "secret" in front of the rest of us and y'all KNOW a beautiful blonde tranny from the South who grew up on a farm and knows nothing about BB is the kind of shit these dumb casting idiots drool over.They did ask all of us if we had something interesting to tell them about ourselves "that no one knows about." So, having been through the casting and hearing other people's stories - I am inclined to believe there is something to this."

Gross! Once again they cast another gay guy that makes gay people look horrible.

Dustin was ok but Joe/Beau/Marcellas/This!!!!

The thing I hate that a ton of transexuals do is date men without telling them that they're really a man and this is what this bitch is doing. Also dating 2 men at once!

It also seems like half the cast members will have big secrets. The ones who make it on the cast with the big secrets are dumbasses if they don't think everyone watching at home and everyone in the house won't find out about it.

Not cool Surge. There is nothing "gross" about it. If anything it's a step forward for the transgender community which is massively underrepresented in the world of TV. There's nothing about a transexual that makes gay people look "horrible." There's nothign "horrible" about it, just different. And I think to most people being gay and being transexual are markedly different things and if she makes it on it's not going to make people think oh look all gay people are trannies.... that's just not how it's going to happen. If anything it's startling that you want them to rejected someone just because she's different. I'm not gonna lie I don't get the tranny thing but I don't have to I'm not one. What they want to do is all up to them and there's no reason it should keep them off TV.

 

[bostonboy20]

I feel like they need a new twist....big secrets....I just feel like that's been done before....but I guess they'll just throw a new spin on it somehow.....whatever I"m still excited beyond belief! haha

 

[falconfan]

Did you guys read my post?

I said it was gross that him like so many other transexuals date straight men without telling them that they're actually men who have had a sex change! It's also gross that he's dating 2 men at once without them knowing!

That's what's going to make gays look horrible, I did not say it was because he got a sex change. If you guys think it's ok for a transexual to date straight men before telling they had a sex change and also date 2 men at once and do whatever they want just because they got a sex change then I don't know what to say.

Oh come on now... you don't understand why it might be a little awkward to say "Hi." "Nice to meet you" "I use to be a man. Let's date." I mean I don't know when the right time is but I can't fault any post opt transexual for not saying anything I'd imagine she should not be physical until the man is aware out of respect to him. But in an ideal world people fall in love based mainly on personality. Now I try not to judge. I'd like to say I'd be a big enough person not to care but in truth I don't know if I would. I don't know what is right and what is wrong in this area. I don't bill myself as the ultimate moral authority. I do however understand where this is hard. I'm sure the fact she is a transexual wouldn't come up in every conversation she has and with everyone she meets. I get were a relationship could develop where someone would be unaware and it would be unbelievably awkward. Like half the people I know don't realize I'm gay, not because I'm closeted or I hide things it just doesn't come up that much and it's awkward as fuck when women start hitting on me. At any rate I think it's really premature to be so belligerent and angry and judgemental of someone you haven't even seen or heard anything about other than a paragraph of gossip.

 

[bostonboy20]

ok....we don't even know if this person is on the show....so I say we end this debate right now until we know for sure that she is on the show and what the full story is.
