Big Brother 9 Does Jericho Tie-in for Veto Comp

This just in from CBS publicity: The Veto Comp airing on the Tuesday night Show will include a cross-promotion of their show, Jericho, and the houseguests receive information from the outside world.

The release was written for the tv only audience, so just go with the flow. We know who won the veto already, but it'll still be cool to watch it and see what info Joshuah and Sharon got from the world.

Here's the latest from the fine folks at CBS publicity:

Big Brother" Houseguests to Receive Information From the Outside World

Contestants from CBS's BIG BROTHER 9 will face-off in a JERICHO-themed "Power of Veto" competition on Tuesday, Feb. 26 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Loss of communication with the outside world is an issue facing both contestants inside the BIG BROTHER house and the citizens of the CBS drama JERICHO. During the broadcast's veto competition called "Communication Breakdown," BIG BROTHER Houseguests will put their communication skills to the test for the chance to gain information from the outside world.

As they battle for the "Power of Veto" on Tuesday, BIG BROTHER couples will search through thousands of pounds of peanuts in order to find their hidden color-coded cables and restore communication by correctly connecting the cables along their utility poles. The first couple to get all of their cables arranged and connected the right way will win the "Power of Veto," giving them the ability to remove a couple, or themselves, from the chopping block.

After the winning couple is declared, all of the Houseguests will get to view headlines that will be shown to them on a ticker tape style machine. The message will contain tidbits of news from the outside world, including a mystery headline that gives a clue to the upcoming JERICHO episode.

    Carolyn,

    What has changed at YouTube to make them pull all the vidoes. Have people complained or who is behind this? Do you know?

    It's becoming less of "You tube" and controlled by Big Brother (not BB9)... the big companies like everything else. They should change it to TheirTube. :-(

    So CBS found a use for all of those millions of bags of peanuts they were sent when they cancelled that show.

    Stupid cross promotion.

    I dont even know what Jericho is. When it comes to watching the POV ceremony does that mean I'll be clueless now?

    i believe they tell them how the weather is at their cities.
    that's why josh and sharon went for it... because they thought it was like a call from home or something.

  11. tella, the local news in my city had a story about youtube last night. (you might have already heard this but . . . ) they said there was some issue with anti-islamic videos on youtube, and pakistan tried to block them. but the block affected more than they intended. i'm not sure if this is the reason for the bb9 videos being unavailable, but i thought i'd pass it along.

    here's an article if you want to read about it:
