We have this thread every season, so I figured I would start it now. It's for quick questions and answers that don't need their own thread.

I can't seem to quickly find out much info about this season other than the theme is recycling (?) I thought I saw a tv commercial that theme was high school.

I didn't realize it started tonight (!yay!), I've been out of touch with internet mostly and all of tv except the Bachelorette on dvr. I can't figure out how to make sound work on this computer so I'm not wasting my time watching the cbs videos.

So, my questions are...What is the theme? Do these hgs know each other? Why does our site have a blank photo with a ? mark?

With the Flash Back feature you choose the day and hour and BB rewinds to that time so you can watch it again or for the first time if you didn't see it originally.

Until the feeds begin you can go back and watch BB10.

Happymom, the theme this year is high school cliques (clicks for Rosem). The house will be divided in 4 cliques--populars, brainiacs, outcasts, and athletes. The ? mark is said to be one of four former houseguests that comes back and joins one of the cliques after competing.

Grooch, the flashback button is a new feature on Real Player and BBrealoaded.

Theme is both Recycling, and Cliques. And as far as we know they're all strangers. Except for the blank photo. That's a "recycled" houseguest. Rumor is, due to a comp held earlier this week, that recycled guest is Jesse. (blah).

On Craig Ferguson show last night Julie Chen said the mystery HG is someone that we would all recognize.

Therefore it’s possible the mystery HG is not a former HG such as Jesse.

Anyone know if Big Brother will be broadcast in HD this year? If not, I'll save the DVR space and record on regular old CBS.

Big Brother 11 will not be in HD
Posted on Saturday, June 13th, 2009 at 4:39 am by Electra
Big Brother 11 and the 24/7 live feeds will NOT be broadcast in high-definition. Several Big Brother websites are reporting that BB11 and the live feeds will be broadcast in HD. After speaking with Real Networks and a Showtime representative, it became clear that there was some confusion circulating regarding a previous message from Real Networks.

Real Networks plans on testing its Helix streaming technology for Big Brother. This platform can support HD streaming. However, the cameras in the Big Brother house have not been upgraded or replaced for HD viewing.

Showtime did say that they might upconvert, or stretch, the standard-definition signal coming from the house to fill the HD screen for Showtime’s HD viewers. But this will not increase the quality of the picture because the cameras are still operating in 4×3 standard-definition.

OK Thanks Mnemosyne! I hope so. I can't wait to see it. I'm dying to go into the forum and see what everyone has to say but I kind of wanted to see it first.

Wasn't Big Brother After Dark on earlier last year? My schedule shows it fron 2-5am, I could have sworn it was 11p-2a central time last year.

Oops, answering my own question here--I had it taping on the west coast Showtime channel. Mods please feel free to delete this

Thanks Suz. It was just a matter of me choosing the wrong Showtime to set on the DVR.
