Well least the commercial I just saw clarified the offical "twist" this year...WORST ENEMIES.

Now GEE doesn't that sound like fun to watch?? I am esp. worried bout the daughter/father that has been mentioned, as that to me give me the same icky pit of my stomach feel as when they sprung the bro/sis thing on Nak and Cowboy. Are they not gonna be happy until someone totally loses it thanks to BB?

I don't like them knowing each other, don't like the format being based on hate, and really don't like that this sounds too close to really hurting some folks (and the fact I bet that's what they are hoping will happen for "good TV").

Why does this show need a 'twist' every year????

Dick's (his name he called himself was "Evil Dick" -- MODS: is that allowed since it is what he introduced himself as??) Anyway, his son is kind of cute. ;-)

Stormie-- I thought the same thing, it's BB4 all over again, which was one of the worst BBs, IMO.. I just wish they'd have faith in casting good individual people and creating a good show around it (like UK BB) instead of relying on 'shock value' to get people to tune in.

What Justin said!!!!!!!!

And this America's player confuses me...how did they get chosen? Are they chosen? Sounds to me like more bad planning...if they wanted to do something like this, why not mix it up so it's a different player every week or couple weeks.

I would love to know the answer to this if anyone knows...how many of the worldwide BB's have twists, and how do they compare to our IMHO lame ones?

I wonder if they are trying to be completely different than BBUK, but that show is fantastically fun. They have new people who don't know one another, then we all see what happens; I even love their diary room. I won't invest much time in this season perhaps, but of course I won't know until I see it, but for me, BB2 still is the best season and that was such a long time ago; they don't need these type of twists. It would be interesting to see who made this decision. I also read that fans will be voting on a lot of things, so if that's true, fantastic; hope so.

America's Player means we control what they do. They vote how we tell them to, do whatever tasks we tell them to. Basically, they're a mole, a plant, the HG won't know it's happening. I suppose they will tell them their stuff to do in the DR.

So much for the, arguably, most attractive girl in the house having a hot summer romance with her DAD there looking over her, estranged or not!

but is he her "real" dad? Also, this could be a great way for them to play as a team. She does 'whatever' and he says nothing.

None of the other HGs will probably notice the relationship unless they blab.

It strikes me that this is the most negative any of us have been Before a season has even started.

methinks that the poor moderators may have their hands full for awhile (dont look at me so accusingly!! I will be one of the better posters showing Great Control and resolve...theoretically)

Are the HG's under lockdown now or if they are not, then they no the twist...I mean, If we do-then they do.

I read that the HGs went into sequester on Wednesday, before any info had been released. I'm guessing that we'll only see 7 or 8 HGs on the steps and then going into the house. The "enemies" will probably be brought in a little later to "surprise" the others. (Like BB4)

My guess as to America’s Player (AP):

The producers will offer the viewers a list of three “tasks” the producers have decided upon at the end of Sunday’s show each week. We can vote until Thursday midnight. The task receiving the most votes is what AP must “satisfactorily” perform to garner the additonal cash/prize. Sometime Friday BB will inform AP in the diary room what is the task. There will be a time frame to complete the task.

Redhawk that makes sense as it is similiar to the America's choice (lame)

DD suggested that AP should be hooked up to Wii - now that would be control... (she suggested "scratch your nose on the hour, every hour.. etc... ok, she's ten, but I admit to LOL )

Sunday's show is when they do nominations for eviction. We will get to tell them who to evict in some instances. That's huge, IMO

We get to possibly ask them, but I don't think they have to do what we ask. They probably will if the prize is good enough. I wish they would have said in their article that another America's Player would be chosen if the first one got evicted.

This could be yet another Dud for BB as all their last 'twists' have been. So..we already know BOTH huge twists Julie is trying to tantalize people with. Brilliant!

In US Big Brother, twists tend to go down in flames. I predict one of the following for America's Player:

1. First one evicted before they even get their first mission. BB may go on to pretend like they never mentioned America's Player and hope no one notices we're not voting for anything.

2. Person is offered a totally lackluster prize (extra slop!) for doing something that really puts their neck on the line-- unwanted following of someone, starting a fight with someone they like, etc. Person refuses. Game over.

3. Person is offered some fabulous prize (vacation, significant amount of money, etc) and somehow slips and tells someone who blabs it to the whole house. Game over.

I will be very surprised if America's Player works out anywhere near how they expect. You live by the stupid twist, you die by the stupid twist. It just really surprises me how the US producers have so little faith in their own show-- why did they make the secret bedroom so easy to find? They should've just left that room closed til someone stumbled over it, instead of giving the HoH directions. Why do they announce all of their intentions on day 1? Keep the audience in the dark a little. It won't kill us, and makes things interesting.

i have to agree.. why did they release the info that some of them know each other? why not just trust the audience to figure it out? at least it'd be more fun that way... personally, i prefer total strangers and i don't really like the "relative" thing because i think it really could have such a lifelong impact.. i was really uncomfortable that nakomis and her brother found out about their relationship like they did.. they might have had a totally different relationship in real life had that been approached more fairly to them..

I can only hope that the people who find they have someone inside who are known to them they know enough to keep quiet about it. I am reminded of the BB4 big twist being blabbed by Cowboy. It might be interesting if they kept quiet and tried to figure out if they were the only ones or not.

I agree about the Father/Daughter thing. Huge ick factor. Seeing Nakomis find out Cowboy was her brother was really uncomfortable.

I think that finding out that your parent had actually fathered another child... and that you were roommates with that child... kinda transcended the game...

the twins were interesting, because they had to do five weeks of switching, and they knew what they were getting into beforehand, so I didn't have a problem with it. Cowboy/Nakomis was uncomfortable at best...I have a feeling the father/daughter thing is going to be really bad...the enemies twist might be enough to get someone to actually walk. Depends on the reasons for it.

BTW a source at reality BBQ says the America's Player choice is a guy, and the "one you'd least suspect"....

maybe that's what they're hoping for....no one's ever walked before on BB U.S. - so it'd be a first...
