Forum: BB9 Casting Twist?

2008-01-23T13:08:00.000-05:00

"After reading the Transgender rumor on the main BBQ page and seeing the last Ad that was released that stated this season will have "More secrets than you can count!" I've come to the conclusion that this season's casting twist maybe that all 14 people have secrets to reveal to America as well as the rest of the house in a similar fashion to Frances "Secret Story" which in itself is a licensed under the Endemol "Big Brother" brand. See the "Secret Story" wiki page for more information on the format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Story_(TV_series)

Basically it would work like this: Everyone would be told that they all have secrets to hide from each other and they would be given a list of the secrets. When someone has a guess they would go to the DR and enter an official guess if the guess is correct they would win a designated prize or cash award. If the guess if wrong the prize would drop by half and if the second attempt is wrong as well they would no longer be eligible for that specific persons prize money."

Big Brother 9 Still Casting? (Auditions in Peoria)

2008-01-23T10:55:00.000-05:00

Last year Zack, Jen, and I think Mike were found closer to the premiere date. Will you be the next Jen?

"Interested individuals need only show up with an application and a desire to be on a reality TV show. Applicants will film two-minute videos at the casting call.

A location for "Survivor 17" hasn't been released, but Tom Beisel, director of marketing and operations at WMBD-TV, which will host the event, said he thinks 90 percent of people who show up to the casting call will apply for "Survivor" and just 10 percent will be interested in "Big Brother 9."

"Alright, so I went to the open call in Atlanta and while I did not get a call back, I can share a tidbit that makes me think this secret thing may have some validity.

In my group of 5, there was a girl, a blonde model from Atlanta and she mentioned something like "I am dating 2 guys - one knows and the other doesn't know" after she said this one of the casting people stopped her and said "don't tell the rest of what the other guy doesn't know in front of everyone else". After we were all dismissed, she was asked too stay behind."

Evel Dick Speaks Out

"I am not taking 5 trips, that is one trip. We are stopping in N.O. for 2 nights, going to miami, the cruise leaves from there to the bahamas, back to miami, drive to boca raton for a couple days, then home and the showtime shoot.

It is only promos, I am not taking Julies place on anything. She will be shooting her spots the day before me, only because they have to stay an extra day since I will be gone on vacation.

Don't expect me to get back to you before the beginning of Jan. I will be drunk and having fun. But when I get back...

I will also be doing a webcast shit talking about this season of BB..." - Evel Dick

Evel Dick filming Promos for Big Brother: After Dark

2008-01-21T00:59:00.001-05:00

According to his myspace page, the Big Brother 8 winner will be spending sometime in a studio recording promos for SHO2's Big Brother: After Dark. Rumor is he'll be taking the place of the annoying Julie Chen cues that scared the living day crap out of everyone who watched.

He's also planning on a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, the the Bahamas, the Motley Cruise, and then to Florida to see his family. (How many trips does that make!! He's a spender and not a saver that's for sure!)

Article: Sophia Loren Doesn't Understand Big Brother Fans

2008-01-09T22:08:00.000-05:00

"According to a report, movie icon Sophia Loren is puzzled by people (like moi) who religiously watch the globally franchised reality show Big Brother.

She is quoted as saying "I can't get my head around people wanting to watch wannabes simply sleeping or having insane conversations or, worse still, sitting up all night on the off-chance two idiots may have sex." (Is she trying to say I need to get a life? She doesn't even know me!)

All kidding aside, even though Sophia doesn't get it, there are plenty of BB junkies out there -- and it's not about wanting to see if "two idiots" will have sex. We watch to see the relationships, the backstabbing, the game play, and all of that other fun stuff.

In related news, CBS announced yesterday that Showtime's Sho2 will once again air three extra hours of live footage from the Big Brother house, seven days a week, when new season premieres next month. We bet Sophia would be rolling her eyes about that!"

"“ 'Big Brother: After Dark' was a big success for us at bringing an audience to very late night time periods on SHO2," Robert Greenblatt, president of Showtime entertainment said in a statement. "This began as an experiment with our friends at Endemol and CBS, and I'm happy that it worked so well for all of us. I'm amazed at how much curiosity there is about what goes on in the Big Brother house after the lights are out, but what better place to present that than on Showtime, where we have a lot of on-air real estate in the wee hours of the morning.” "
