Hi Everybody, It looks like we are all coming back slowly. I can't wait till we all start dissing about the show LOL. We had a great time last year. I hope it's a great cast. I'm sure we will have another blond "Hooters" girl, and a couple of LA bartenders and models LOL. I wonder if we have any smokers this years, since the house is eco-friendly.

All I'm getting on that link is the audio, no video. Is that what everyone else is getting? Thanks.

I listened to the radio show. I'll do a little synopsis, for those unable to listen to the link.

There was a girl (Carrie) talking to the hosts that was apparently one of the media persons that would be staying in the house for twelve hours. She was trying to be sneaky on the phone because phones weren't allowed. She said there was also a guy from the Craig Ferguson show that told her not to be freaked out by his costume. She said it wasn't CF, but asked, "Who dresses up on CF?" to give a clue to the hosts.
I don't know. Does anyone else?

Here are some of the highlights from the Grodner part of the interview:

She was on her way to the house to meet the media players. (They do this every year, to try everything out and make sure they're ready to roll)

Premiere is July 9th.

Cast has been chosen.

She mentioned eating SLOP.

slop

The twist is "unique, as always" and "incredibly relatable."
"Everyone will be able to identify with this twist. That is all I can tell you," said Allison.

There's also something else happening on premiere night that is unprecedented and a lot of fun.

We'll be hearing more and more as we approach premiere day.

(I've read that much will be revealed on the 29th, as the cast will be in sequester by then)

Allison said she couldn't reveal too much because her cast is still out and about and might be listening.

It's a gorgeous, modern house this season, and they're going green.

The cast does not yet know whether they are contestants or not. They like to surprise them. But there is a big pool of finalists.
(So I guess they know if they're in the running to be HGs)

She talked about Julie's baby. The hosts joked that maybe that could be a challenge for the HGs...delivering the baby. (lol)
Then, Allison said, "Yeah, that could be the 14th contestant."

(Which, of course, leads me to believe we'll be having a cast of thirteen)


And then, a little bit of the BB theme music played.

Oh, I got goosebumples. LOL

Wheeeeeee

Hi everyone, I am so looking forward to this starting. I am one of the unlucky ones who has dial up so I want to thank everyone who posts for all of us. It is so very much appreciated to be able to keep up to date on the house happenings. I just hope that we have a larger mix of age groups this year.

The Craig Ferguson dress up person is probably the guy who comes in out the leather pants get-up.

I think you're right, Teach. The only other one I can think of is the middle-ages military guy who gives "Prince Charles" his parchments. The leather pants guy is much more memorable.

I did that last year and the winter season too, Need. (Actually, it really started the season Dick was on the show.) It's liberating but I did read here to catch up. LOL

I have it all Showtime and Real and if they would have a feed in the sequester house I would have that too. BB is the perfect Florida summer heat retreat. It is to hot here to go outside after noon anyway.

I am back for another season and in two days I will be retired. I'm still on dial-up so I won't have the feeds. I will rely on all of you for the tidbits we don't see on TV.

Read this elsewhere. It is RUMOUR but, I thought I'd share anyway.

Heres a short summary of some of the rumors running around about the house some of these look to be very believable. Nothing will be concrete until the 29th when B-Side Blog posts the information.


Pillows are made of hemp/Cotton fiber
Kitchen table looks like a canopy tree
TV in HOH room has been upgraded to a more modern set
Whole kitchen/dining area looks like a forest with fake grass from the backyard as carpet
Living room has huge rocking chairs that recline
No couch in the living room
A huge tank is situated in the corner and filled with fish
Fiber optic textured Walls of different colors
motion-censored sinks controlling the volume of water released
motion-censored showers controlling the volume of water released
Upstairs is asian inspired with dragons on the wall and hanging Asian lanterns
Upstairs sofa is a giant leather circular bean bag
Backyard has a eco-fountain
No clothes washer
Giant Mural of a forest


List of confirmed participants at press day


Ben from B-Side Blog
Dennis Luciani from Average Joe
Jen Johnson of BB8 fame
Carrie Ann Moten from JohnJay&Rich
Katie McNeal
Ross Mathews from Inside Dish
Dawg From Big Brother 11 Spoilers



Oh, boy...I hope Ross (the intern) Matthews IS there. I love him.

And...no clothes washer? Oh boy. The days of washboards and ringers might be returning. Wheeeee

Honestly,the past 2 years I have had feeds and BBAD,but I decided that I won't this year because I get so excited about the feeds,then NEVER watch them.Nothing good happens until after I am asleep and after bbad is off...They know the cameras are rolling for after dark and behave too well!! lol!
Instead I will rely on ya'll for the you tube's and screen caps.Because honestly,anything worth seeing,someone always posts anyway.
(Ok,maybe I will get BBAD,but that's IT!! I swear!!) bring it on...

I copied this from a big brother blog I follow on Twitter:

Don't ask me how I know this because then I'd have to kill you, lol. I've been sworn to secrecy!

A staffer from The Insider won the media game. They played all the regular competitions plus a new one that had something to do with the house.

Spa room and all bedrooms except HOH were locked off. Kitchen table looks like a canopy tree. Whole kitchen/dining area looks like a forest (?) with fake grass from the backyard as "carpet."

Living room has huge rocking chairs that recline. No couch. A huge triangular tank (at least 8 ft. tall) is nestled in the corner and filled with jelly fish. Textured walls sparkle different colors like fiber-optic. It looks "crazy."

Bathroom looks like a public restroom with urinals along the wall, but they don't work. Green tile floors. Shower doors are completely see-through with only enough curtain to cover one side at a time. Sinks are motion-censored and only give small amounts of water at a time. HG's will have to trigger the sensor "at least 20 times" to even wash their hands. The showers are the same way. Walls are dark orange.

Upstairs hall is asian-inspired with dragons on the wall and hanging globes. Sofa is like a giant leather bean bag in the shape of a circular couch.

Backyard has a fountain. NO washer but there is a dryer. There's also a picnic table. New mural looks like a forest.

I don't think this house sounds modern or green at all, except for the bathroom. Maybe the bedrooms?? lol


If it is already posted,my apologies!!
