EW: After Annie was booted, why didn’t you let the house continue to believe that the saboteur was still there?
Allison Grodner The saboteur may not be dead after all! You’ll find out more tonight (July 29). Make sure you watch! We loved this twist. We were hoping it would go longer. But we don’t rig this show. People accuse us of rigging this show, people accuse us of trying to manipulate things. We don’t! We picked someone who was playing her own game, who was a huge fan, who had everything going for her. It wasn’t the saboteur (twist) that got her out, it was her own silly game play – which she did not have to overdo. We would have loved for it to go longer, but it didn’t. And the summer goes on! We ran this risk on every twist we’ve played…

Rich Meehan Twin twist, America’s Player…

Grodner Everything had this same risk associated with it. It is what it is with the game. It gave us a jolt, it was fun. But it’s not over yet!

Why are you sequestering all the houseguests this year?
Grodner We’ve done that in seasons past because of the expect the unexpected. That might happen. It’s become a safety net for us. If it plays into something, it plays into something. It may or may not.

Hello America! It’s your favorite guilty pleasure…the one you hate to love…the “brains” of The Brigade…the diabolical super-genius…Matt!!!

Having the opportunity to write this blog to you all is actually one of the aspects of HoH that I’ve been looking forward to the most. Here I can tell you all my deepest darkest thoughts about all my fellow houseguests.

I should start by saying that I really do genuinely care for everyone in this house on a personal level. On a game level, however, it’s anything-goes and no one’s emotions are safe. But personally…I love them all. I’m quite confident that after getting home and watching this season, I will have lost the friendships of at least half of this house. But the remainder that choose to forgive my deplorable game-character and see me for what I truly am (the greatest Big Brother player in the history of the game…yeah, I said it), I will be close to for years to come.

As a crazy super-fan of the show myself, I’ve always found Big Brother to be not just an entertaining show on a surface level, but also a fascinating social experiment. Being a part of it all makes me realize this even more. Never in my normal life would I end up befriending a meat-head jock (who would have most certainly logged many hours kicking my ass in high school), nor in my normal life would a Vegas bikini cocktail waitress ever give me the time of day. This meshing of subcultures is extraordinarily awesome, and for that I am insanely grateful to even be allowed to have this experience.

Okay, okay – enough with the sappy love-fest. I know…you want the dirt. Pictures & Source

In a new low for reality TV, the producers are allowing a “houseguest” to lie to other contestants that his wife is suffering from melorheostosis, a disease that strikes the young, bringing a lifetime of disability, deformity and pain.

On Wednesday night, despicable contestant Matt Hoffman snarked in his private video confession that he’d been spreading the word that his wife was striken with melorheostosis and that he was on the show to win the $500,000 first prize for an expensive operation.

Matt says he first heard of the disease on a cable TV show and was simply spouting back what he could remember. The Melorheostosis Association, for one, isn’t laughing at this clever ruse. Because the disease is so rare, there is little money for research and very little hope.

Yet, Hoffman squawked that, “If lies and sympathy get me the half million, I swear I’ll make a sizeable donation to the foundation for this disease just for letting me use it and exploit it a little bit.” But no, they didn’t let you.

CBS responded by saying, ” ‘Big Brother’ is a reality show about watching a group of people who have no privacy 24/7 . . . At times, the houseguests make comments, reveal prejudices and other beliefs that we do not condone.”

Right. Meantime, Harper wants a sitdown with CBS brass. Education is everything.
