JaJa - it just wouldn't be BB if Julie Chen wasn't part of the show - IMHO. :-)

If Rob and/or Amber show up, then I want them to add Toni from Paradise Hotel. And Puck. That way, Rob won't get too comfortable and might want to leave.

I am ready for BB! I've gotten myself sucked into BBUK over the weekend. I like that discussions of nominations are penalized. To me that allows much more interaction in the house rather than the intense scheming over who will be voted off in previous US BB.

Was Julie Chen on Letterman? I just turned it on for a minute and Mike Myers was up talking about "Shrek 3" opening on the weekend. I guess there's a rerun on instead tonight. (?)

DOH! It is the 25th. Forgive me, I looked at the calendar wrong and thought I was a week ahead. Sorry for the misinformation.

Not to confuse this any more than it already is but, Jokers listed an update that says Julie is going to be on Letterman Thursday the 28th. Who knows...

Maybe she had a conflict or something and they had to change it. I swear on Dingo's site it said the 25th.

On a side note, will there still be a "Quick Questions" thread this year for BB? I know the chatter's tread has been discontinued. I've always appreciated the "Quick Questions" thread to gain some info from time to time when I've been unable to view feeds.

I found the message from the bosses ;) I do understand what they are saying. For *me* I abhor change, but I can get use to *different* in time :-)

Do you think they will put up an 'off topic' thread if we don't talk BB in it?

Hey Pamy! Good to see you again.

Doesn't look like Boston Rob will be on BB8.

Rob Mariano announces new $10 million 'Tontine' reality show

By Christopher Rocchio and Steve Rogers (Reality TV World.com) 06/19/2007

Although it doesn't appear to have a broadcast network yet, Rob Mariano has pulled the wraps off the "huge" new reality project he first began teasing in March. Mariano has announced he will serve as the host of Tontine, a new reality competition show that will award one contestant with "the biggest cash prize in the history of reality television -- $10 million."
Tontine will follow 15 contestants, each of which is given "a special key" that unlocks a portion of the $10 million grand prize. Over the course of 100 days, the cast will be put through a series of mental and physical challenges with the possession of the keys constantly up for grabs. The series will conclude when only one contestant remains with all 15 keys in his or her possession, allowing them to unlock the $10 million prize.

"I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you certain things about it," Mariano told the Buck County Courier Times during a May interview that proceeded today's formal Tontine announcement. "It's a competition reality show that will last over 100 days on all seven continents of the world," Mariano boasted to the Times. "[It's going to be] bigger than Survivor, bigger than The Amazing Race."

The show's format is based on its namesake -- "tontine" -- an annuity scheme in which a group of individuals share a common fund, with the money being awarded to the person who survives the longest, or in this case makes it to the end of the competition.

Casting for Tontine will begin Saturday, June 30 in Dallas and continue throughout the summer with stops in Nashville, New York, Boston, St. Louis, Minneapolis, San Diego and Los Angeles. The casting calls will be lead by Mariano and Tad Frank, a casting director whose previous credits include Survivor, The Amazing Race and The Bachelor.

"We are looking for some really great game players who are also risk takers," said Frank.

Mariano, a 31-year-old Canton, MA-native, burst onto the reality television scene in 2002 when he appeared as a castaway on CBS' Survivor: Marquesas, eventually finishing tenth but still becoming a favorite of viewers who came to know him as "Boston Rob." He returned for CBS' Survivor: All-Stars in Spring 2004, where he finished as the runner-up but met his eventual wife, All-Stars winner Amber Brkich. Since then the couple appeared as a team on The Amazing Race's seventh season -- where they finished second -- as well as this past spring's The Amazing Race: All Stars, when they were the fourth team eliminated.

"My own personal experiences will provide insight for [Tontine] competitors to go for the win, no matter what it takes," said Mariano.

Following their The Amazing Race: All-Stars elimination in mid-March, Mariano told Reality TV World that he was in "negotiations" for "a new project... which you will be hearing about soon."

"It will definitely be huge," Mariano -- who cited "contract negotiations and what not" for his inability to offer more specifics -- said about the show at the time.

According to its casting information, Tontine is scheduled to begin filming in September 2007 and premiere in Spring 2008.

He could be still on BB8, because this is in the summer, and that show if it gets picked up won't be filming until the fall.

But I would suspect there would/should be a lot of preparation that needs to be done in the summer. If he were to take the summer off and be in out of contact I would think that any show Bigger than Survovor, Bigger than Amazing Race would be sure to fall flat.
