TVGuide.com has the new Saboteur details. • The Saboteur, who will be chosen by America, will be revealed on the next live eviction show (Thursday, Aug. 5 at 8/7c). "I hope America does a better job than me," Grodner joked about the Saboteur selection. • The new Saboteur will first address the houseguests in the following episode (Sunday, Aug. 8). He or she will only have to carry out acts of sabotage for two weeks to receive the $20,000 cash prize. "It's similar to when Dan was "America's Player" [in Season 10]," Grodner said. • Also, the return of the Saboteur will coincide with "Pandora's Box," a temptation offered to the head of household that will unleash good or bad things on the rest of the house. The first evil unleashed will be the Saboteur. • Unlike Annie, who Grodner said would have been pulled out of the house after she had completed her four-week reign of terror, the new Saboteur will continue to compete as long as he or she remains in the game. He or she could perhaps even win the grand prize. Also, the identity of the new Saboteur will not be revealed until finale night, whether he or she is evicted or not. http://www.tvguide.com/News/Big-Brother-12-1021259.aspx

I have to post the article because the link goes 'dead' the next day. Lynn Crosbie From Tuesday's August 3, Globe and Mail We are, for the 12th season in a row, watching (a malignant new cast of) Big Brother. How incredible this Nineteen Eighty-Four-with-a-twist scenario once would have seemed; how ominous. In Big Brother – which originated as a Dutch show (as Survivor began as a Swedish one) and is now a prime-time hit in close to 70 countries – usually fewer than 15 roommates are locked into a set/house, with no TV or phone, are filmed constantly, and must heed the hokey deep voice of “Big Brother” emanating from loudspeakers in their Ikea-styled terrarium. Here, the U.S. edition airs three times a week on Global until September; it streams online, and it is, ultimately, a slow-moving soap opera. No matter how often the increasingly nubile, sexually exhibitionistic housemates dress as, say, giant hot dogs and round third base in the hot tub, the show is fantastically boring, as soap operas are. This summer, however, there has been a controversy on Big Brother 12, one that has delivered a few genuinely intriguing occasions to wake from our somnambulist stupor and shriek, like Rosemary, the Devil’s girlfriend in Rosemary’s Baby, “This is no dream! This is really happening!” In 2002, as foreplay, contestant Justin Sebik drew a knife across a fellow competitor’s neck. “Would you be mad if I killed you?” he panted, and was promptly turfed from the show. Other housemates have used shockingly racist and deeply offensive language, and have been castigated, yet allowed to stay. Another gamer, Scott Weintraub, went Defcon 3 in 2003, and was expelled after screaming and breaking crockery. Now, contestant Matt Hoffman, a soi-disant genius (the travesty that is Mensa means a great deal to simpletons), is in the news for having lied to “the hamsters” (so the hard-core fans call the housemates) about his wife having melorheostosis, a rare progressive disorder he claimed he wanted to rectify when he won. It is a smart and stupid move, reminiscent of the Survivor gambit of Jonny Fairplay (Jon Dalton), who told the islanders his grandmother had died and who milked the lie for special privileges. But Hoffman’s is meaner and lacking in context. Dalton was a showy player, a professional wrestler, working a persona that the WWE and its ilk have long sanctioned as a surefire way of creating crowd displeasure (that is, excitement). Hoffman doesn’t have the charisma nor the persona to bear the weight of the con. Melorheostosis is a disorder that is agonizing; it causes deformity and may lead to amputations. Hoffman’s wife was in on the con, and wrote him a letter that he read to his 11 new friends, confirming the tale. She was then cornered by an angry media, fuelled by the complaints of outraged actual sufferers of the disease, and unconvincingly explained that her husband was an eccentric, but not malevolent. She is a funny-looking little creature too: Is Hoffman projecting, on some level? This may seem to many all very tempest-in-a-teapot, but incidents like this on TV change TV. Think of the first time you heard swearing on a show; think of the Seinfeld episode where George’s fiancée died, an event the characters took so lightly that a furious commentary was ignited. Increasingly, we become inured to shock and outrage, more and more estranged from the very people we are observing. I believe it is a sin to lie about one’s loved ones; at the very least, it is very bad form to involve others in one’s avaricious untruths. I also believe it is shameful to spend a summer crawling through hot caramel and eating offal under surveillance for scant fame and some cash. Hoffman’s lie could clarify a great deal about television reality. It’s too bad he has no presence (he is a shifty-eyed, crotch-fondling troll); it is too bad he didn’t blow up the game with a bigger, badder lie, such as, “I just want to get my dad’s vestigial breasts lifted!” Or, “To me, winning equals Waco II.” But that would be funny, and a lot less comforting and bland than life, as we see it each summer, and worse, every single second of every day.
