Again, Jokers has some random “spilling the beans’ about this seasons twist. Interestingly enough, all the rumors from ‘sources’ that have come out of Joker’s have all been twists on other versions of Big Brother, mostly concerning Big Brother Australia. (Two houses rumor, being green, and now this). Magical. Could this guys post be true? As always, I don’t know, but it’s still fun to speculate and talk about it. Oddly enough, I SUPPORT this rumor because if there’s one thing I’d love implemented in the game, it would be to prevent house guests from throwing competitions. At least this would give them some incentive to try or possibly be up for nomination [if HG's realize someone is purposely throwing competitions -thus no money in the pot].
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.
Oh the darling BBDish, how I love thee. Someone posted a bunch of details about the house in their comments section. She doesn’t know how trustworthy this is, so be cautious in believeing it. There’s always a fake cast so this might be this years ‘fake house’. Anywho.As always, since it is a rumor, I’ll post a bit and than link you to the dish. (not like you’ve never been there before lol).
- 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?

He explains the rest below, so here ya go!
Iraq, My Next Big Adventure
Hello everyone…
Sorry I have been MIA from myspace and facebook for a while, Holidays and recent workload have just had me swamped! So I wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on with me lately. I have had a lot of great opportunites open up for me at work lately which are going to make for some exciting new adventures. My big news is that I am going to be traveling to Kuwait and then Iraq for work. Unfortuneatly, due to security reasons I can’t reveal exactly when I am travling or where, but I can say I am leaving pretty soon.
I am going over with the company I work for which is a contracter for the military and I will be working on military installations. Again, I can’t say exactly what I am doing, but I will say that my work is all part of a larger effort to begin bringing our troops home and letting the Iraq peole run their own country! I am going to be in country for about a month as well as in Kuwait before and after my Iraq visit.
HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS, I am planning on bringing a digital camera and doing weekly picture posts as well as a video blog of my experience over there. I am going to blog about and video as much of my experiences as possible so that everyone can see a little bit into the daily life of a contractor working in Iraq. I also am hoping to get some time with the men and women of our armed forces that are stationed in Iraq, ask them some questions and have them send some messages back to the USA. I am going to be very busy between now and my deployment so I won’t have much time to be online, however I hope that everyone will check back on my site and look out for my pictures and video blogs.
I will do my best to check mail but please keep in mind that my interenet access is going to be very limited as well as my time. As most know I am not a very political person, however I am filled with pride and joy to know that I am playing a very small role in helping to GET OUR TROOPS HOME!
Keep checking back for updates!!
