"Big Brother" returns

[tropicana]

sooooo predictable! geez.

as for eric and jess, yes indeed they def. are closer than 2 peas in a pod.

I know you all are Donato haters but .........

Even if Zach would have won, I am not so sure the Jury would have picked him to win the game. Zach isn't the sharpest tool in the shed so its wasn't a surprise he lost to Dick.
I was so rooting for them to win, I think its great they pulled it off.

[tropicana]

more importantly however, CBS has pulled off what many marriage counsellors and many others have failed to do, bring this unlikely father and daughter back on serious speaking terms, by forcing them to live together for the last 78 days. Yes there were rough days esp in the beginning, yes they were arguments, but in the end, above and beyond anything else, CBS has helped mend a vital relationship. YAY Even though i dont like the stick girl all that much, everyone deserves a relationship with their dad.

Exactly my thoughts you said it well. I think in last nights episode watching them really reconnect was great! I hope it lasts on the outside of the house.

[lurkey]

It's on .. . :blah:

[Brent]

Well I can finally be done with this show in less than an hour. I didn't watch Sunday's recrap, but I've been otherwise wanting to give up this show for 2 weeks and unable to do it. I finally can. I have NEVER been happy to see BB go.

Dick is so gonna win...

10 bucks says Eric will be sleeping on the couch tonight . . he has some explaining to do . . .


Dick won .. .

Heh. I thought it ended quite well. Jessica says she wasn't mad, and it seems like everyone took it well. Recapping the AP twists was a big highlight for me. I thought Eric was going to propose, LOL

Dick won! Jen and Jameka voted for Daniele. How predictable...

It's been a fun summer despite the horrible ending. Some of the best BB moments ever.

CBS REVEALS THE IDENTITIES OF THE 16 NEW HOUSEGUESTS COMPETING IN THE FIRST WINTER OF "BIG BROTHER"

First Ever All-Single Cast and the Most Houseguests in "Big Brother" History

Ninth Installment Premieres Tuesday, February 12th

Julie Chen Returns As Host

Love Is In The Air As An All-New "Big Brother" Creative Twist Is Revealed

CBS today revealed the identities of the 16 Houseguests who will compete in BIG BROTHER, as well as the new creative twist that will play out during the first-ever winter edition, which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

This season marks other BIG BROTHER firsts, including the first-ever all-single cast and the most Houseguests in BIG BROTHER history.

When this group of 16 singles enters the house, they will be told they are being matched up with their "soul mate," a stranger who may prove to be their true love or their worst nightmare. Whether there is a love connection or not, once paired up, the Houseguests' life in the game depends on their partner. They must strategize, plot and scheme together as a couple for a chance at the prize. These "lovebirds" will live together as a couple meaning they will sleep in the same bed, hold Head of Household as a couple, be nominated for eviction as a pair, and if the time comes, say their goodbyes together upon eviction.

BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week the Houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end, the last remaining Houseguests will receive the Grand Prize of $500,000 and a second place prize of $50,000.

This edition of BIG BROTHER debuts Tuesday, Feb. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Following the premiere, BIG BROTHER will be broadcast three nights weekly, on Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), Wednesdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning Feb. 13 and Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning Feb. 17. Julie Chen returns as host. The live weekly eviction broadcasts will be Wednesdays, with the first eviction on Wed., Feb 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT).

If BB gets pre-empted by basketball, you can go here and watch the show.

Someone is streaming the show live over the net.

[Brent]

WOOHOO!!!!!!!! It's back! and better than ever! I love the soulmates twist, and the winter-themed house. Looks like a great season, though I'm confused on how evictions will work(there's one tomorrow but not live).

[JonathanBelles]

Very interesting competition! lol

[tropicana]
