Here's your chance!

In what promises to be the most decadant Big Brother season yet, the hamsters are casted as a pair of show-selected soul mates according to their love profiles. They are told, "Your life in the house depends on this other person. You're going to sleep in the same bed together, you're going to compete together, you're going to hold the Head of Household together, get nominated together -- and ultimately -- get evicted together."

Do you think the very moral fabric of America is being destroyed by this show, blatantly flaunted during child-viewing prime time? Or are you into the caged lovefest fetish? If you could, would you reprogram the Chenbot? What else do you notice as you watch the show, if your sensibilities aren't already shot to hell?

Here's your chance to answer all that and more. You can be a BB9: Soul Mate summary writer! No experience required - yes, you lurkies and newbies and milkies are all encourage to apply! Just tell the story, use your spell-checker and post it in the Bashers forum within a day or two of airing. That's right, we're looking for a good dirty dozen (or even a dirty 16, or more!) summary writers to write about what promises to be the dirtiest BB season yet.

And now, the specifics (as Estee put it last season): BB summaries generally go two ways: by the episode (if there's a lot of signups) and by the week (if there aren't), compressing three airings into one rant of fury. The main hazard with working by the episode is that summaries have to appear quickly -- ideally, before the next airtime shows up. The premiere has to get special treatment either way, as the person with that summary is essentially responsible for introducing the cast, even if the editing doesn't bother to. Especially if the editing doesn't bother to. Also note that summaries cover only what is broadcast, not to include what is shown in, for example, After Dark.

You can offer to write for either a single episode (including the premiere and post-premiere) or for a week-long shot, ending with the eviction on Wednesday in the Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday cycle. If we get a lot of participation, we'll start with single episodes and possibly move to the weekly format later, but if there are fewer writers, we'll move to weekly format sooner.

BB9 plans to air Sunday (8 EST) / Tuesday (9 EST) / Wednesday (8 EST), with evictions on Wednesdays. But don't be surprised if these dates/times get reshuffled with BB bumping up against AI on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Tue Feb 12 (premiere)*
Wed Feb 13 (post-premiere)*

Sun Feb 17 (HOH/nominations?)*
Tue Feb 19 (veto?)*
Wed Feb 20 (first eviction)*/**

Sun Feb 24 (HoH/nominations)*
Tue Feb 26 (veto)*
Wed Feb 27 (second eviction)*/**

Sun Mar 2 (HoH/nominations)*
Tue Mar 4 (veto)*
Wed Mar 5 (third eviction)*/**

Sun Mar 9 (HoH/nominations)*
Tue Mar 11 (veto)*
Wed Mar 12 (fourth eviction)*/**

Wed Mar 19 (fifth eviction)**

Wed Mar 26 (sixth eviction)**

Wed Apr 2 (seventh eviction?)**

The final airing date is still undetermined.

Those dates with an asterisk(*) are for single-show summaries. If there are no single-show summaries taken for the week, then dates with two asterisks (**) are for weekly summaries. Let's start with these dates, filling in the earlier dates with single-show summaries, and we'll take it from there. Additional suggestions are also welcome.
