THOUGHTS?

First up, we have a theme throughout the house this year – called “The Have and The Have-Not’s”. You should be able to get the general idea regarding what that’s about from the name.
Now to much talked about High School theme that has caused various rumors to spread out over the internet. Here is how it will work:

Big Brother has cast people who they believe represent some typical high school stereotypes. However, it will not be Big Brother pairing them up. Once they enter the house, they will be told to form the cliques themselves – Big Brother will not force them together like Big Brother 9. In other words, Big Brother could have cast someone that they see as a Jock but the houseguests could decide that they are a “geek” instead.

Once these cliques are formed, they will play as teams for a while, but they will eventually split off into individuals and play the Big Brother Game by themselves.

We’re a bit… shocked… that they’d try working in pairs teams again, since Season 9 had to be one of the worst planned seasons in the entire history of Big Brother. We totally think things will work out… if they straightened out all of the kinks. But, at the same time, we totally understand their point of view – never judge a book by it’s cover. We like what we see but sometimes things look great on paper and turn out to be complete and utter shit. We hope the 11th season, and 10th anniversary of Big Brother USA will not be!

See you on Monday at 7AM for house photo’s, video and more!!!

If Big Brother is taking notes from other versions, please, PLEASE let them ‘borrow’ the shopping budget tasks and punishments for breaking the rules. They know not to talk about Diary Room sessions, that they must wear their microphone (unless they’re sleeping) and that the bedroom lights must remain on during the day. PUNISHMENT!!! Okay, okay, getting back on track… If the show cannot afford a wrap party, I have a hard time believing that they’d be willing to up the ante higher than 500K [or make more challenges to have them reach 500K].

I’m a little hesitant to post this, as I’m sure I’ll get some hate/disbelief claims, but it’s certainly pertinent!

One of my old college buddies has a job with EndemolUSA out in Cali, and while he isn’t doing any work on Big Brother 11, he said he was pretty sure of some stuff going on in this season.

Initially I had taken everything he said with a grain of salt, but he had already told me that they decided to “do the house very green and ecofriendly,” and now that that has proven to be true, I’ve taken his other big claim more seriously. I’m still considering this speculation, but it sounds VERY plausible.

The twist? Here is a summary of what I have been told… CBS is making all of their shows cut back on their budget and saving where necessary (the economy blah blah blah), and this year, the twist is that when all the houseguests enter the house, they’re being told that the prize money this year is ZERO DOLLARS. And now, instead, they’ll have to build the prize money as they go along.

Now I don’t know if that means they’ll have to raise it in challenges, or by going without certain items in the house or whatever, and “Jim” (we’ll call my source that) didn’t know much beyond that. I assume the max they could get is the standard 500,000… but who knows.

• The kitchen table is of a tree. The carpet is really synthetic grass. (lol) It has a jungle/forest theme.
• The living room has recliners and a huge tank with ‘aquatic life’ (I SO hope that this is the house pet – go to BBDish to find out- but I have a hard time believing this rumor.
• The washroom is like a public bathroom with urinals and sensored sinks. Apparently the shower glass is see-through and there’s only ONE curtain to cover you [but two showers]. They also say the floors are green and the walls are orange.
• The wall to the HOH room is Asian themed, with dragons and hanging globes. (sphere’s or actual globes? Idunno)
• The backyard has a fountain, no washer (finally! they’re taking notes from BB:UK – they wash everything by hand) and a new mural!

This top-secret insider claims that the bedrooms and the Head of Household room were locked off, with no access. Maybe they saved the best for last?

Basing on what Allison said in her interview, this is the ‘near future/very very soon’ that she’s talking about. So a week and a few days. Based on last season, they showed us video (so house tidbits at the very least). YAY! I’m so excited to hear what they have to say. June 29th, hurry the hell up!

Does anyone know who went into the house? I heard that Perez Hilton went in, same with Billy Bush. We know for sure that that woman off of the John Jay & Rich show went it, as well as BSideBlog! That’s 8 others! Who are yew!

Here’s what I know so far… My favorite improvement is gonna be called either the Calendar or the Flashback or the Time Machine, and while you may already be getting the gist of it just from the name, allow me to explain how it’s gonna work.

Let’s say some HG’s head explodes while you’re at work, you’ll be able to plug in the time it happened, and go back to view it. Let’s say the HoH reveal is taking too long, and you’ve just got to go to sleep. No problem. Just plug in the time you want, or the time your ever loving dishchicks have told you to look for, and poof, there you are.

Let’s say you’re reading the overnight report, and while we’ve posted screencaps of HGx and HGy getting busy or getting caught coming out of the shower or having a big fight, pics just aren’t enough for you. You want to see how it all happened! Now you can, right there within the Big Brother Interface on Superpass.

Here’s the mock up of what it’s going to look like:

Anyhow, moving right along, the presentation of the rooms has also been upgraded. No longer will you have to go to quad to see what’s going on everywhere, or flip from feed to feed.

In the pic above, take notice that along the bottom are a line up of videos. To my understanding, this is where key moments of the season will go, accessible all the time and changing frequently. Big Fights, Funny Escapades, Burlesque Shows??

I have had so many people asking me what is up for me this BB season… I figure I will tell everyone all at once and save myself the carpal tunnel…. So hold on to your panties, this will be a long, blabbering, ranting blog.

Ready?

I will be doing my weekly webcast for Real Player again this year.

RealPlayer Superpass has given me my own tab in their browser, which will closely link my website and my myspace etc… They have been great to work with and our relationship is solid.

I have some fun guests lined up and we will be out on locations more this season, we will also have more past houseguests….The viewers were out in huge numbers for the show last year and I don’t see any reason why that would change.

But I will also be doing a weekly webcast with Janelle to fill the void left by the Cancellation of Housecalls.

It will be a call in show that will talk about the feeds and anything and everything else going on in the house and being talked about on the internet.

I will be in studio while Janelle will be in NYC, but will be as good as sitting next to me co-hosting the show (well, as good as for you people, but I am getting jipped.)

We will also be doing a “He said, She said” type blog or column.

Where one week I will start off by writing my summary/thoughts/opinion on the happenings of the week in the Big Brother house. I will send it to Janelle where she will then write her opinion/feelings/thoughts about MY writings. It will come back to me, where I will write my thoughts on her response, then back to her.

The next week she will start.
I will respond.
She will respond to my response.
I will respond and wrap it for the week.

Ok, did you follow that? lol…

Basically we both comment twice.
We will take turns starting it off every week.

I had a very long, fun talk with Janelle just a few days ago and we were batting ideas back and forth and thought it would be a lot of fun to do these two things together (although I had a couple more things I’d like to do with her.)

I have spoken with some people about both, the call in show with Janelle and the blob/column with Janelle and are talking to them now, but I will be speaking with more people about finding the appropriate home for each.

I am looking for sponsors for the Real Player show.  The more
money brought in means that we will be able to do more things with the show.

I am also working on a type of wrap party at season’s end
in Vegas……
This is gonna be fucking nuts!
And the fans are all invited!

We are talking with a few different hotels in Vegas and they all have been great and really would like us to do our little shin dig at their place.

We are looking for sponsors to cover the cost of rooms, meals, flying in,  and any other related costs to bring in as many past Houseguests as want to come out and be a part of it.

In addition to the party, there will be different events that will be available for the fans to attend. So, there will be different priced packages the fans can buy.

Some of the ideas we are bouncing around are, one or two of the Vegas Shows (with Houseguests tba)
Barry Manilow (who is a fan of BB)
Penn & Teller (who are fans of BB)
Chris Angel

Other ideas for the fan packages also include things like..
A pool party hosted by several HG’s
Dinner with your favorite HG.
And I am still looking for others and which shows will be in town when we will be there.

We will be choosing a travel agency sometime soon and the fans can book though them in order to get the discounted rates on the flights and hotels etc…

And part of the money raised after covering all of our costs for the shin dig, will be given to a charity we choose. I am looking for which charity I would like to be associated with for this event. I am looking especially for those that help runaway kids or

So, yeah…..
There is a ton of shit I am working on.

But as of right now.
Real Player and the show I do for them is solid.
I am gonna start shopping the show and blog with Janelle this week.
