@CBSTweet The Jury is stunned – But why?! Find out on 2nite’s #BigBrother live eviction
What do you think they’re shocked about? We’re discussing this here!
Ew.com has interviewed each jury member (Brendon, Matt, Kathy and Rachel) thus far. Check out all the videos here!
The return of the Saboteur will coincide with “Pandora’s Box,” a temptation offered to the head of household that will unleash good or bad things on the rest of the house. The first evil unleashed will be the Saboteur.
Unlike Annie, who Grodner said would have been pulled out of the house after she had completed her four-week reign of terror, the new Saboteur will continue to compete as long as he or she remains in the game. He or she could perhaps even win the grand prize. Also, the identity of the new Saboteur will not be revealed until finale night, whether he or she is evicted or not.
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.

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.

Sorry Canadian and overseas fans – they blocked it for you all.
Big Brotherproducers are adding another level of treachery a la The Mole with what they’ve labeled a “saboteur.“
When the show premieres Thursday, July 8 at 8/7c on CBS, one of the houseguests will have a separate mission: to sabotage the rest of them. This player’s goal will be unknown to the rest of the cast. Viewers, however, will learn the person’s identity July 15 — when the first live show airs.
The show — one of summer TV’s guiltiest pleasures — features contestants living with and competing against each other to win $500,000. Their every move is captured on cameras rolling 24 hours a day.
Viewers will be able to influence the game by suggesting ways the saboteur can best wreak havoc on the players. Because each week a different houseguest is evicted, the longer the secret player can stay in the game and maintain his anonymity, the more remunerative it will be for him.
Executive producer Allison Grodner calls the person “a game piece … that will make life for the houseguests harder than ever before.”
In a Series First, One Contestant Will Enter the BIG BROTHER House With One Goal: To Secretly Wreak Havoc on Their Fellow Contestants
Fans will Provide Unprecedented Influence over the Game as the
“Saboteur” Receives Their Suggested Tasks Directly from the Audience
The producers of BIG BROTHER are implementing a major twist for this season’s batch of Houseguests that will top all past seasons. One Houseguest, known as the Big Brother Saboteur, will enter the house to play their own game, unbeknownst to their fellow competitors. The Saboteur’s mission will be to carry out viewer suggestions on how best to disrupt the lives of fellow players.
Upon moving into the house on premiere night, Houseguests will discover that one of them is not really there to win the game, but rather to sabotage their fellow players. While the saboteur’s identity will remain a secret to the Houseguests, America will learn his/her identity on Thursday, July 15, during the first LIVE show. At that time, fans can begin offering suggestions for how the saboteur should disrupt the game. The longer the saboteur is able to maintain their anonymity while carrying out their fan-inspired sabotage, the more financially rewarding it will be for them.

And some other information:
This year we’ve gone with darker colors accented with complimentary colors. Very sexy. But it’s still BB and and there is plenty of colors popping out. We’ve had practice HGs playing the game to get the crew back in the habit. We’re ready for the real HGs to get in there. It looks GREAT! We’re very pleased.
In the kitchen is teal and yellow. The staircase is also yellow. A gaggle of flamingo lounge under the stairs.
Outside the HOH door, think Miami night life for the wall paper. Pink Neon by door. Palm trees that go all the way down and appear in the wall.
In the spa is a big 6 person bed.
My favorite room is the bathroom. Stripes of small yellow, black, and white tiles cover the walls. Will we have a Killer Bee alliance?
The pool table is back.
