Allright, the premiere date is July 12, 2012. We are a little over a month away from, just a mere 5 months prior to... the mayan "end of all things", is it a sign of the theme of BB this year?
They've done exs, they've done twins, they've done relatives, they've done returnees. What's Next? Radioactive Mutants? Inbred West Virginians? Robotic Pageant Fembots? (Why are normal people so F'd up?)
(enter ST with something witty)
Is anyone else a little bit more excited to "witness the train wreck" than usual? (Like supplanting your own SIMS family in a house with arranged sleeping, gaming and food regimens, type of off-season fanaticism?)
*reasearches absolutely no breaking news on BB* Yet!
actually, i've always wanted to be on BB...survivor too. problem is, on survivor, they'd spend the whole 39 days looking for me cuz i'd be lost from camp. at least in BB, i couldn't get lost...or maybe i could. unfortunately, my teeth are not white enough, my a$$ not small enough and my oobies not big enough to make a cast on BB....maybe if i wait until retirement, they can cast me as the resident old fart...then again, given the ages of the contestants, i probably am old enough for that!
I need something, I'm having Survivor withdraw. I don't care who they pick. Just give me some oddball characters. I don’t have to live with them. I think my favorite has been Jessie, Mr. Pectacular. I really loved Adam and his bacon last year. I’m ready to start hosting PTTE again. I like the end of the world theme Sir tribe. They (Big Brother) could really play with them on this one.
In terms of casting: Total strangers, but maybe all of them are told they have something in common just to drive them crazy. Also, all new players.
In terms of gameplay: Actually make people do stuff somehow so we don't have some doofus like Porsche ride all the way to F2. Also, enough of Pandora's Box. It's run its course.
Agree with you and RR about Pandora's box. EVERYONE is familiar with the concept. Sadly, the hamsters keep falling for it AND in some form production would release some mayhem whether they voted for it or not.
But I have to give you major props for this...but maybe all of them are told they have something in common just to drive them crazy.
It is OBVIOUS they cast for stupidity and gullability, so why not throw in TONS of misleading info. Oh, they'll bite. They do it on their own, somewhat, already.
Hey Hamsters! You're ALL Related! (inevitably 4 of them will have sex anyways.) Hey Hamsters! Only 1 of you is NOT the saboteur! (Yes, you ALL suck.) Hey Hamsters! We've poisoned each of you! Only 1 antidote. (Finally a deserving finale.)
is there anything out there revealing what's gonna happen this season? has anyone here watched the UK version of BB? i just watched the launch episode of the 2012 season...very different from the american version....makes me think we should do things that way!!
Hard to find much out there when the hamsters don't move into the house till <1week before the 1st episode is shown. Anything revealed now would have to come from insiders, and what they reveal will be in bits and pieces in the nature of a tease.
If we total up the brains possessed, we might get to three.
I'm guessing paired play again -- or even worse: imagine five groups of four and a quadruple-elimination to start the season before dropping to pairs. It's a later-than-usual start date and CBS actually has fall programming to look forward to for once, which seems to indicate a shortened season.
Four twists. So the chances of having any impact the game are now zero in four...
Most HG ever might also mean the wackjobs and the chronic rule violators will be on a shorter leash than usual and BB will be quicker to toss people out who should be tossed out. It also might mean pair eliminations in the early stages.
Since we're on the subject of a larger cast, buzz is that four of the players will be re-entering the house as "Mentors". In a kind of nod to the Voice, each will be associated with a group of the hamsters. How this works for the mentors I don't know. If they can be voted out or have to participate in challenges, whatnot. Don't know. Perhaps some sort of prize for them if one of their proteges wins, I dunno. What I do know is they WILL be in the house.
A whisper about the cast says Boogie is gonna be a mentor. I'm hoping for Janelle, EvilDick and Dan to round out the returnees.
I know the show has a hard time caring about any semblance of sanity during casting, but Malin's stirred up so much trouble outside the cage (accusations of scamming restaurant money and spending it on sex)... I don't know if even Grodner wants to take the publicity hit by giving that story an opportunity to go mainstream media again.
That seems to be the sentiment of the fans for sure. However, Groder and co. continue to close their eyes to the "little" things that pop up about castmates.
What's a little embezzlement for a little nookie?!
And as has become the motto of celebra-tents everywhere, buzz is buzz, bad or good it leads to more attention.
I'm reposting and rewriting these bits from a couple of sources, including Good Old Jim Early.
* There will be sixteen new hamsters and four returning ones. The boomerangs will each choose four hamsters from the pack and 'mentor' them throughout the summer. The mentors will not be active players, at least as far as being able to win the game. Instead, they are supposed to guide their teams through the twists (yeah, right) and bring someone in their group the victory. For giving up their summer with no chance at winning, the mentors will supposedly receive $20,000 plus $2k per week in the cage. The only way to eliminate a mentor from the house is to get rid of all their players: the mentor leaves at that time. The mentor whose player wins the game gets enough money added to their fee and stipend to total $100k.
* The following people are reportedly not coming back as mentors: Eddie, Maggie, Matt, Ronnie, James (Rhine), Jun, and Drew. (What could Ronnie teach people, exactly? Most hamsters can get everyone hating them all by themselves.) A lot of people suspect Jessie is coming back because Grodner hates us that much. And loves him. A lot.
* The cage has been partially remodeled: they needed to expand the second floor to make room for the extra people.
* (Confirmed) The lead competition designer is now working for Glass House, so the Target booths may go up to $7.99.
Janelle is heavily rumored to be among the mentors, but there's a problem with this theory: she just had a baby (girl) a little while ago. I'm not sure she'd want to leave her child alone for a few months at this very young age. Of course, we all know what would happen if she did come into the cage.
According to Good Old Jim Early, currently parceling out his supposed (until verified -- I'm not saying he's lying by any means, just that we don't know the facts yet) information like Rockefeller dimes to the huddled masses, he has all four mentor names. So far, he's tossed down three.
Mike Malin Janelle Dan
The fourth one is supposedly coming tonight. He also claims the three above know about each other and are trying to work out who they're up against.
Janelle versus Booger does bring up the question of proxy grudges.
Well, first off are Dani and Rachel. SuperPass will be kicking off the Big Brother season on Monday with our first live call in show of the season, Rumor Control with Rachel and Dani at 3pm PST/ 5pm EST. With Rachel and Janelle's episode scheduled for the following Friday. Friday, July 6th at 3pm PST/6pm EST (Rach & Janelle) (Still before the premiere.)
But, yeah, Janelle has spread herself REAL thin lately. Aside from the new baby, she's also planning on leaving for Greece soon. Add to that her stint as co-host for Rumor Control and it's appearing more and more like Janie is trying too hard to fool peeps into thinking she CAN't do the show.
Similar with Dan, he's set to have his wife, the gorgeous Kelly, continue tweeting for him, so we will be in constant doubt as to him actually being cast this season.
While feelings of nausea prevail upon first hearing of her return, I have higher hopes for her "game-play" this time around without "Brrrennnndonnn" to distract her.
Of course she'll probably fill every available downtime moment with "I wish Brendon was here." and "I miss Brendon."
The Media enter and mingle about a bit, checking out rooms, looking at the Memory Wall (there are always 14 spaces... DO NOT let that set anything in your mind as far as actual cast members on this season).
Then Rachel and Brendon arrive. They mingle more and it's time for the challenge. A guy from the media wins, you see him with the keys and you see the nomination ceremony. Finally, it's time for the vote and it looks like Rachel gets evicted.
Gawds, I'd heard there was a rumor that one contestant had a Survivor connection, but there weren't any details at the time and I didn't want to start a panic...
*groan* Just when you thought Grodner could stoop no lower. I won't judge Willie until I meet him (because there's got to be some recessives in this gene puddle, right?), but going this far for a casting stunt drops her credibility to Negative Googol.
There have been rumors in the past of Russell being a hamster, but they have yet to have the balls and/or the insanity to do it. Perhaps if Willie works out OK they'll have enough balls to cast Russell.
In a series first, four of the most successful players in Big Brother history will return to play their own game -- for their own separate prize. The identities of the four returning players and details surrounding their mission inside the house will be revealed during the season premiere on Thursday, July 12th at 9/8c! You won’t want to miss it!
The commercial from yesterday names Shane, Kara, JoJo, Wil, Danielle, Willie, Jodi, Jenn, and someone named Mike, but the CBS website doesn't include Mike. The commercial shows (but doesn't name) Ashley, Frank, and Ian. So Joe must have been a back-up hamster.
Grodner has been swearing that we will see no one from last season. Of course, we're dealing with someone who lies more than Azula (and with less conscience) who also has a built-in loophole: 'Well, Rachel was technically two seasons ago. By the way, I copied every single challenge from 2004. Also, every contestant must have sex with every other contestant every week, live on camera, while wearing clown noses. Is that a problem?'
But with Rachel quasi-denied, the rumors are swinging towards a female replacement -- and the Current #1 Suspect: Britney Haynes. And as parts of Jokers are already pointing out, giving the new hamsters a mentor who couldn't spot that @#$$%^ alliance isn't exactly a gift...

44. "Britney Beotch RE: Rachel out?"
>But with Rachel quasi-denied, the rumors >are swinging towards a female >replacement -- and the Current >#1 Suspect: Britney Haynes.
No one wants to see Britney the Beotch back in the House. She was one of the most hated BB House Members of all-time. However, I did feel sorry for her when her house caught on fire at the end of her season.
As good a reason as any for bringing her back: she arguably needs the mentor cash as much as any hamster alumni.
For me, Britney became more tolerable in slow stages, starting when Monet was evicted (taking away her trash talk partner) and then by comparison to the increasingly-nauseating Brigade. I don't particularly like her and if we ever met on the street, the fight would begin within seconds -- but she was the only thing close to a fan in her pack, could order the rats to turn a feed line off and make it work, and ultimately was going around insulting people who deserved it. If she's learned a little tolerance for People Who Aren't Me and can aim that verbal cannon while keeping one finger on the safety, it might be possible to get through a summer with her.
Plus she'd be trapped with a Hantz. If we're lucky, she just might get him to chum-dump himself.

45. "BB14 CAST MEMBERS FIRST IMPRESSIONS:"
BB14 CAST MEMBERS FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Only going on first impression of their profiles, this is what I think of them prior to the season 14 starting:
Ashley Iocco - Anyone who is an Owner of a Mobile Spray Tanning Company has to be a tad superficial, but she may surprise with a business like demeanor. She could be dangerous if she is cunning and goes about the business of winning over her enemies while maintaining strong alliances.
Danielle Murphree - being a nurse and possibly a southern bell, she may be able to nurture her alliances and prevent enemies. However, she may wind up to nice for her own good. But what do I know, Jordon won it all that way.
Frank Eudy - Hippie Unemployed Beach Boy who may be one of those who can fly under the radar long enough to wind up in the jury. Don;t see him winning it all.
Ian Terry - genuine geek who may actually become likable if he does not show off his intellect too early, and comes into the house with contacts, instead of glasses.
Jenn Arroyo - talented musician types never fair well in this kind of reality show, so Jenn will leave before the jury, but should provide some nice fireworks before she fizzles out.
Jodi Rollins - hope she does not turn out to be another strong black woman who pisses everyone off. It would be great to see someone come into BB and break that stereotype, and really make a serious run to finals. It would be god for the game.
Joe Arvin - A chef by vocation, he should go far if he can hide his obvious comeptitive nature. This guy could win it all, but what do I know - I said the same thing about Chicken George;) ha lol
JoJo Spatafora - a flighty bartender who does not have a phone, computer or even a TV, she will be the first one out the door. If the girl does not have a TV, how could she know anything about BB. She's toast!
Kara Monaco - A model who seems to be really sweet, and obviously gorgeous, but the caddy jealous claws will come out eventually, and Kara will go by the way many have with her looks, out before the jury. Hope I am wrong though with her
Shane Meaney - smart handsome competitive hunk - hmmmmm, now who does that remind us of? He needs to hook up early with one of the babes, and spin his mighty charm to keep surviving and thriving. He could be in the top three if he plays his cards right???????????????
Wil Heuser - We have seen this type go early so many times, but if he can humble himself long enough to stay away from the mirrors, and the obnoxious metro-sexual grooming habits, he may survive long enough to make it to jury. But that is as far as this Ego will go.
Willie Hantz - this guy baffles me a bit. He could turn out to be someone who I love to love, or love to hate. He could become one of the more notorious characters in BB History, or just another jerk that we will try to forget. I am hoping for the prior.
The four Mystery Previous BB House Guests - hoping for at least one from last season, and the other three from previous seasons that have never been on BB a 2nd time. Of course my money is on one of these four to win it all this season. That is the smartest bet, but who knows with this game??????? ---------------------------
Note that all spoiled/rumored names are still active. Also that some of those entries are strictly there for comedy. Renny? What lessons does Renny bring to the table? Those suitcases would have been crammed before the fresh meat ever showed up.
Britney Dan Daniele Enzo Evel Dick evicted July 6 Howie Janelle Jeff evicted July 9 Jessie Kaysar Mike Boogie Natalie evicted July 6 Rachel Ragan Renny Will evicted July 9
Chelsia was supposed to host Rumor Central alongside Janelle yesterday -- but Janelle didn't appear. Because she's in Greece. Staying in a five-star hotel. Which has no phone, Internet connection, or dusty telegraph in the basement. Because it's a five-star hotel and a total lack of communications is one of the perks. Any former hamster would think so.
Yeah, right.
Rachel did appear via Skype. (Rumors say she broke sequester to curtsey out of the season. Doesn't seem to have offended TPTB.) And she happened to drop four names. Over and over and over. Britney, Malin, Dan, and Janelle. Just out of nowhere for no reason. Repeatedly. Gee, wonder why that quartet kept coming to mind?
In other news, Canada will be getting its own hamster cage starting in February. On behalf of America, we're so sorry...
The SuperPass feeds subscription offer sent out a bulk mail prominently featuring pictures of four mentors.
Guess who.
They've since starting scrambling and mixing up the images in the CBS sendings, but that kind of fatal (and typical) slip was the last confirmation straw. I'm calling it: mentors are Dan, Malin, Britney, and Janelle. And now y'all can figure out just what it is they're supposed to teach.
They entered the cage yesterday, so Open Editing Lies time is under way. Note that we've already had the first CBS lie of the season: with twelve newbies and four boomerangs, this is tied for the largest contestant pool. Because really, who remembers Season #9? Except for nearly every court system in the United States.
Since this officially puts us in Spoiler Time, I'll start the first Live Feeds thread in a few minutes to cover the early rumors and potential leaks. Stand by for hamstersign...
On the basis that they're desperate to have anyone who isn't him and Ragan actually looks like a preferable alternative. If your goal is to have someone whose idea of strategy is to pull the pin on a hand grenade, then hold it until the thing explodes in his own face... So Ragan's their last desperate hope. And my, is that hope desperate.
And don't be silly. Malin doesn't have hooves. Hooves don't extrude acid.
Wil is wearing a Look At Me. Clearly it's working.
Worth noting because it gives us some idea of the necessary pacing: assuming the mentors never officially join the chase for the main prize, then starting from the broadcast premiere, the show has to knock out ten contestants in seventy days. This suggests a chance for an early departure to make it back in.
The separating degrees having lessened quite a bit recently... It's no surprise to most that Big Brother is the red-headed step-child / circus-freak show of CBS' RealityTV line-up. And since it's alpha-jock of a reality show, "Survivor", will be premiering on Wed. Sept 19 (a 90 min. ep., by the way), it means that BB14 will have to end before the 19th. So, with the final episode usually takes place on Sundays, I'm guessing the Finale for BB14 will be Sept. 16th.
(Doing quick calculations, if the Mentors are NOT being voted out, we won't need to have any double boots. In fact, I'm almost positive someone will end up coming back in.)
I still stand by my call. Cause the BB finale date is still speculation. Survivor's Premiere is Wednesday(9/19) at 8pm. Which means if BB was to have a finale on Wednesday also it would have to be at 7pm leading into Survivor OR at 9:30pm after Survivor. Neither sounds right.
Last season, they did indeed have the finale on a Wednesday, but it ended the week before Survivor's premiere. This could still happen this season. Which means the finale would be the 12th.
Unless of course you can point me to where it states that BB finale is indeed on the 19th.
He does say "looks like", which can definitely be construed as "If I deduce things correctly", add that to my continued search for a confirmational source and I still think it sounds wonky.
Dick is not overly fond of Missyae/Good Old Jim Early/How Dare You Post 'Exclusive' Spoilers And Not Give Me The Credit. And the verse is also vice. Dick is going after his opponent in video while the opposition seems to be creating fake tweets under Dick's name.
The usual fake game between the hosts (with Aisha evicted): all Julie did was string everything along until the last minute and wait on a badly-scripted (but well-delivered) cue from Sarah. All she really confirmed in the end was that we have four returning hamsters (which we knew) and they are in fact playing for a separate prize, which cuts down on the chance of their going for the main one halfway through the season. Beyond that, tune in at nine p.m. Eastern. If you dare.
