VIDEO - CBS Early Show Big Brother Segment








For those of you at work who can't watch the video, graciously provided by JT1972 here's the gist on the twist:

    Julie: It wouldn't be BB without a Big Twist - each HG filled out a love match profile as part of their application.
    Alison Grodner: 16 singles living in a house suddenly discover that their "perfect match" is sitting right next to them. Your life in the house depends on this other person. You're gonna sleep in the same bed together, compete together, hold the HoH together, get nominated together and ultimately get evicted together.

    Juicy!

    I was not impressed about the "Twist" at first, but the more I think about it, the more I like it, and I am sure we haven't heard all of it yet either.

    Its looking better and better the more I see.

    Thanks, Carolyn!

    thanks for all your hard work, carolyn! you're awesome!
    i wanted to ask you... i was reading their bios and you can kind of tell who they paired up with who, but i read in an earlier post that you knew a few who didn't have a parner. is that true and can you tell us which ones?! :D

    the house looks so cool! is that hawaiian room the round room?

    i'm excited! xD

  3. Well from the research you have done obviously they are not 16 singles as alison says...But it sounds exciting!! I can't wait!

  4. Given it is still a 3-month season, I'm assuming after a couple double evicts they will start evicting one-by-one. Go Neil!!

  5. The hawaiian room is the HOH aint it?

  6. I really like that idea/twist! However, I'm disturbed by the 45 year old... Any thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Well, I'm not disturbed by her, but I wonder if her perfect match is actually 20 years younger than her? Strange... Wasn't that show called "Age of Love"??!

    I think Sharon and Jacob are ex's. His profile on CBS site says he is having a hard time getting over his ex and he has a tatoo that his ex designed. Her profile says that she has a self designed tatoo. They also have a Marine history.

  9. LOL beth&eric!! Ya know there's gotta be one in every bunch. She seems on the wild side too. Her neck annoys me. Unless the new 21" widescreen monitor I bought for the feeds is making it look like that...nah, then they'd all have them.

  10. Good call Anon @ 6:57 -- strange coincidence. If they're not exes, maybe they're a match!

  12. Info Overload!! I just got online this morning and I'm overwhelmed! We had tornadoes last night in Arkansas, and I'm not talking about Clinton/Obama. Breathe, breathe, breathe. I'm so excited about this season. It's the season of love! Carolyn, I think I love you, lol!!!

    Hmmm, about the 45 year old, someone in there must be into older women. She's a cougar!!

    i bet the 45 year old is with james. because his bio says he was engaged to an older woman.
    and i agree about sharon and jacob.

  15. Curious.

    Of course, I already have picked out the ones I can't stand.

  16. older women? i was born in 1974 and my wife was born in 1960!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I guess that throws out the Mom theory! Unless she's a "MILF" (hope that's not to crude Carolyn - please to edit if necessary ;<).

    I guess we have to root for the "Older Woman" she's kinda alone in the house. Or maybe she won't be! (huba huba)

    So.. How does the "dirty little secrets" have to do with the whole Soulmates theme?? Been trying to piece that all together... After reading their bios, I do think a lot of the houseguests do know of each other, and that they will be pairing them with people other than the ones that they know..

    Nothing's changed for Canada of course, SuperPass does NOT come with $10 of free music or a free video game. Again I say, that sux!

    OK, Carolyn. I think Neil and Joshuah might know each other...they were both at UT-Austin in 2000, according to their myspace profiles.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Stacey- I don't think there ever was a "dirty little secrets" theme. It was the tone of the commercials they aired because they didn't know the cast or the twist yet. They found a great song, and during every season cast members are hiding something, are batshit nuts or know each other, it would work no matter what.

  32. Live feed question!!!!

    Can I only view on one computer or do you log in and you can view on more than one computer? I have my laptop and my pc!!!! Can I view them both, and different times of course!

    Thanks!

  33. Gail, I believe that's a yes.

    ReplyDelete
  34. If they gave me $10 worth of music to keep , a video game a month to keep and all the rest including BB 24-7 for $15 a month i would keep it 12 months a year

    ReplyDelete
  35. Gail - To answer your question it works great. I had two systems, sometimes 3 running with different cameras at the same time. I event had one system running the Quad camera and one on a single. That way I didn't miss anything. Of course I muted all but one so I could hear and not go crazy. Anyway it works perfectly fine.

  36. cambik - thanks for confirming that :)

    Oh my gosh!! I'm so excited for this season to begin!!!

    16 people paired up = only 8 weeks though, right? :(

    ReplyDelete
  39. I wonder who my faourite will end up being. weird how a stranger can grow on you. my past faves include Allison season ummm 6 or 5 blond girl, James 5/6, kaysar, zach.

    it's weird to look at the photo's because i know i'll have a fave but until it all unfolds their strangers

    thats so deep LOL

  40. melanie- Nothing has been confirmed, but I assume it will be "couple evictions" until there are 10 players or so left (so 3 of them), and then they do "single evictions" through the jury stage. It is still a 3-month season, ending May 6th.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Cambik - thanks, I didn't want to be tied to one computer! I need to take it with me, where ever I go!

    Thanks Carolyn - keep up the good work!

  42. Oh Stacey, that is very interesting!! I hadn't thought about the twist that way. They know someone in the house, but are paired with someone else...mmhmmm that could be VERY VERY interesting!

  43. Holy nickers! I just blinked and realized I am completely out of the loop!!! WOW...I need a sec to digest all of this...Carolyn, I swear I will never skip reading BB9Dish for several days in a row ever again!

  44. DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THE PICS OF THE HOUSE? THERE IS A 2 PERSON SAUNA, MASSAGE TABLE AND A POOL TABLE... ALSO I SAW A HAMSTER TRAIL/CAGE? AM I GOING CRAZY OR ARE THERE MORE THINGS IN THERE THAN NORMAL? WHAT'S THE DEAL???
