RealityBBQ – Big Brother 11 on CBS and Reality TV News, Rumors, Spoilers

“When CBS cast “Big Brother 4″ twit Alison and her boyfriend Donny for “The Amazing Race 5,” the Emmy award-winning series seemed to be selling out, using nepotism to draw viewers from one series to another. But Alison and Donny’s quick exit - they were eliminated during the second leg of the race – turned them into the joke many viewers hoped they’d be.”

“On a more personal note, I went by the “Big Brother” studios this past weekend. All I can say is: this summer you’ll see some big changes. Stay tuned.”

A little birdie told me that Scott was Playgirl’s “Most Requested Male Model” in February. Soon he will be heading back to Pittsburgh with his friend Pedro from Napolean Dynamite for a party, and the gossip is that he has a few movies in the works. The biggest news is that he’s dating hottie Robin from Real world San Diego/Inferno 2! What an adorable couple

From Playgirl’s Most Wanted issue: When we first saw Scott in April 2003, he was just a handsome guy from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had a toned body, a great smile, and an even more appealing personality. He had star potential. Apparently, the casting director for CBS’s hit show Big Brother thought so too. Before we knew it, our phones were ringing off the hook to see the PLAYGIRL Pictorial of the former housemate. So while Scott’s charismatic demeanor made him the one-time leader of “The Four Horseman” and won him the “power of veto” in week two, it also rubbed a few cast members the wrong way, and got the 25-year-old sales representative evicted in week five. Bet they wouldn’t have evicted him if he stopped campaigning and got naked.

“You know that makes more sense…someone (Past Survivor Contestant) said that they were looking for Survivor contestants to do BB. Hmm, well then I better get my tape ready for Survivor. Where’s my buff! (Danielle starts humming the Survivor theme song).”

“Lori Valenti made an appearance on Charmed last night as an extra. She appeared in Phoebe’s (Alyssa Milano) office as a co-worker. Though she had no lines, she was easily recognizable for several seconds onscreen.”

“Well seems like there’s a lot of leeky information lately. I just found out that on Big Brother that there’s going to be 20 people, supposedly. There’s going to be 10 new people and 10 people that we’ve seen before, and one moderator in the house.”

The rules state that the HGs may be in the house up to 100 days between June and October. This is possible with a June 24th entry date (first ep June 28th) as it would end October 2nd. This would make for 13 eviction weeks (if they follow the usual plan where there is no eviction in the first week) with three remaining people going on off-schedule days (as is typical). That lends itself to a 16-person house. If you add in the possibility of weeks where 2 or more people go, 20 people is quite plausible. Maybe they will follow the same idea as Survivor:Pulau, and the first week could have many people evicted, or people who won’t even get the chance to go in.

Regardless, let’s hope this season is truly twist filled, or back to the basics – because a lackluster season with no changes will not bode well for the future.

• Semi-finalist interviews are currently planned for April or May 2005.
• Finalist interviews are currently planned for one week in May or June 2005
• One participant will receive the grand-prize of $500,000 (not more)
• You must be willing to live in the BIG BROTHER house located in Los Angeles for approximately 100 days between June and October 2005

It seems the June premiere date proves that the 20 person rumour is true. They would need more time to boot ‘em all out But its unlikely that any “stars”, whether past HGs or real life (c- or d- or maybe even e-list) celebs would stick around for that long, so it should be an all-nobody cast.
