I think the "short season" rumor may be true-but not as short as people think. The first few UK seasons went 9 weeks or so-and I think that could be what they're shooting for- especially in the unlikely event they settle the strike quickly after the new year. This way in case they do settle the strike in January/early February, they can keep May Sweeps open for new eps...

8 weeks (56 days) means an end date of April 8th
9 weeks (63 days) means an end date of April 15th
10 weeks (70 days) means an end date of April 22nd

(May Sweeps start April 24th- of course these calculations are based on the show premiere, not when they go in the house)


If they do shorten it, I can see there only being 10-12 players instead of 14...

Animal Farm rocks and the games are hilarious fun!

A Winter Big Brother game on the farm will make this season interesting for me as I don't plan to get the feeds.

12 players

Like the normal BB It has only been since the silly Twists that we've had more and more contestants.

at least it seems that way to me. Other countries ahve 12 only dont they?

it varies wildly...UK went thru about 20 people last time around (with replacements, people coming in mid-show, etc), Australia about the same...

'replacements and people coming in' isnt the same as When they first start the show.

i thought the rest of the world does 12 starting contestants.

However, I LOVE the idea that the USA version would do replacements and invaders. It would be even more fun if we could VOTE as to whom goes in!!

LOL, Sports. I love that!

And yes, it's embarassing for Kail to have put that flyer out like that. Zach had so many errors in his Dolphincrash blurb. It's just sad to me. And one of my pet peeves...especially when it comes to anything business-oriented.

Proof-read, people, proof-read. lol

read somewhere that it might be just a 6 week BB.

That sounds like we wont get our usual fun out of it then.

Those 'actors' and wannabees often dont show their true colours until after the first month and they realize they are stuck in there. LOL

Beekindpleez, I totally feel your pain. As an English major, I learned to check and double-check spelling, puntuation and grammar. I went to a Catholic college and those nuns would nail you for a comma out of place! If you aren't capable of proof-reading, pay someone to do it for you! [I get especially peeved at errors in things that come home from my son's school: newsletters, flyers, emails and notes from the teacher! Yikes! Set an example here, people! You're (or maybe I should say "your"--hee) educators!]

I am so excited! I can't wait. What an exciting idea to put BB on now. I sure hope this means they won't do the summer BB. Summer just isn't summer without BB. Btw, I am a new grandmother of my first grandchild. Olivia who is 3 months old today.

I won't mind watching BB, if it isn't a repeat of last season.

Does anyone know if they plan on having a BB show starting in Feb. AND another for our usual summer viewing?

This isn't a repeat. They've been casting for it for a while now. The winter version of Big Brother is because of the writer's strike and they have a big hole to fill in programming. This show can fill at least 3 hours of prime-time air time per week and still get pretty good ratings. Sweeps is in May I think, and this show will help them pull in viewers who would otherwise be looking at cable channels and going out instead of staying in.

I think MsBullWnkl meant a repeat of the same sort of characters as last season, but she might not have done :-).
