Last year there were 14 and Julie Chen claimed it was due to the enormous number of calls to vote in faves. The public got to vote in 8, instead of 6, and the producers put in 6. Watched the first episode late last night to get into the mood for BB8.

Love the whimsy of it all. The place looks like a playhouse. Now, just add houseguests and stir !

Love it! Looks like fun- I wonder if the former exercise room has to be discovered/opened?

Bet short people like me wouldn't mind the short beds so much, but also bet they purposely didn't cast many short people.

I love the Alice in Wonderland theme. Alice has always been one of my favorite books. I am also a tea drinker and collect tea pots and cups. Maybe they can get them a croquet set to go with the chess set. I hope the great new look for the house is a indication of good things to come.

no hyper, it'll probably be like Michelle in the X Factor season, she drinks, she's gone, or the 20 year old will be evicted week 3...

waitresses and bartenders don't suprise me. Most of the time they were accepting applications in different cities were at bars in the nighttime hours. I was nosy and looked for my area although i woud never apply because of my kids.

We haven't seen pictures of the HoH room yet but I'll bet you is going to be designed based on a White Knight if it's a man and on a Red Queen if it's a woman . Bets are open.

Belly closed. The one girl from Huntington Beach says she works at Hooter's. And there is indeed one not far from here. I live a couple of blocks from one edge of Huntington Beach.

I LOVE THE 'ALICE' SCENARIO! Very imaginative... let's see how it plays out tho. Sometimes, the theme is just left behind in the gameplay and just peters out. I hope the season is full of weird surprises that keep the hamsters offkilter.

WOW big news today glad a friend told me I was clueless. LOVE LOVE LOVE the house...hate the wannabees. Most virtually list wannabee as their jobs. Guess TIIC won't ever get a clue who we like based on the past. Least I'll be annoyed while visually happy. I want those lights!!!

The other thread already id'ed one guy who was a "body double" in Pirates...yup, wannabe's in a big way. Wonder if they'll strain their necks trying to look in those mirrors in the living room?

Thanks to Cricket, who pointed out a great group of screencaps at Jokers, from this morning's CBS Early Show. I am posting the link here because there are some outstanding shots of the front door area, between Julie's studio and the house's front door. Note: more animal topiary. lol HERE

So far - the house is more interesting than the contestants!

Teach-- I was thinking the same thing. When the initial premise started leaking out I got kinda down on the show, and even got into UK Big Brother for some sort of BB salvation this year... but then I saw the house and got a little excited again. Then I saw the new contestants and went off to download more UK Big Brother episodes. ;)

I don't know what the status is this year. Last I heard, it sounded as if my source had moved on to other opportunities, but there is a chance they will be back with BB. I am keeping my fingers crossed for email clarifying the situation soon.

Where do you download BB UK episodes, Justin? You just answered a question I asked you in another thread. I feel like I'm chasing you around the board, lol. I'll go now.

I usually get them off Usenet...which, if you're used to Usenet is probably the easiest way, but probably the most complicated to get started with if you've never used it.
