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.
