Seems too good to be true. I agree.

I do agree at that point (I have no idea where that site got its info), I don't see how it's possible for Allison to "see the light" after all these years just a few months after the (questionably) most successful BB ever, in terms of ratings. But that said, they may feel like since it's coming so soon after the last BB, they need to produce a very different show to get people's attention, and make it a bit more controversial. I'd love it if they cast all these people thinking they'd be lazing around all winter (like the summer HGs do) and they spend their time having to *gasp* work! And do tasks! And entertain us!

what about real player? IS that a thing of the past or are we all getting to watch the live feeds? Without the live feeds it wont be as good.

I am sure they make money from people paying to watch the live feeds so I don't think they will pass up the opportunity to cash in on that.......

OMG, I am so excited to hear about a Winter BB9! I love all the ideas you have mentioned and I especially love the "boot camp" possibility. It's time they got off their lazy butts and did something besides prance around in their bikinis and sunbathe. I know the majority of BB fans didn't like Season 1 but I did. Back then they didn't get to just lay around all day napping or sunbathing. They had to tend to the vegetable garden (and chickens), they weren't allowed to listen to music (although I remember there were a couple of times that a houseguest would win a comp or something like 'America's Choice'--but only the winner was allowed to listen to the music). They also had to pool their weekly money to buy food and they had to decide, as a group, what they would purchase. If they ran out or got low on any food items they had to wait until the next week's shopping day. I think there was some haggling over this a few times, some of the houseguests didn't want to put in all their money, or they wanted to purchase something else--I think it was cigarettes but I may be wrong. Also, if I remember correctly (my memory is foggy due to health problems so I may be "off" on some of this! ), they had to be up at a certain time in the morning--I think they gave them "wake up" calls. And they turned the hot water off (for showers) real early. I don't think they even had a washer back then. They didn't have clocks so they were never sure of the time and/or the day. Remember how they crammed 5 beds in one tiny room? Didn't they only have two bedrooms? Some of my favorite things were the late night/early morning BBQs they had. I also liked the live audience they had in that building outside the BB house--it reminded me of a barn. I think that was always on the night someone was evicted and their family/friends were usually there. Okay, enough of me going on and on, sorry I got so long winded. I know there are going to be a lot of people who will totally disagree with me on this (about BB1) and I respect your right to do so.

I just got an e-mail from Reality411.com with the information on the winter edition of Big Brother! Ninth installment of the summer staple will make its bow Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 9 p.m., Eye insiders confirmed Monday. Julie Chen-hosted reality show will also air Wednesday and Sunday nights at 8 p.m. On Tuesday nights, "Brother" will act as a lead-in for "Jericho," which will return for its second season Feb. 12 at 10 p.m. CBS revealed that news to fans of the show Monday afternoon via its website.

Especially the slop! They can function physically and mentally so much better if they are fed properly. I believe this is why they slept so much in latter seasons as well.

I hope that the Tuesday BB lead-in to Jericho will help Jericho's ratings so that they will renew it for another season even if it is for a short season.

Cino, i am with you. Remember their potato clock? And how Josh fooled them into thinking it was 2:00 when it was actually 5PM and show time? (live show that night) the girls did not get their "primping" time & the expression on Jaimie's face was priceless.

Cino! I am also a huge fan of season 1 and I'm always complaining that the HG have it way too easy. I think having a weekly task for food budget is way more interesting than the stupid, lame competitions they have. Pamplemousse, I thought the potato clock was great, and Josh had to be the 'saboteur' and change the time on the clock without anyone knowing. I think the house got a reward, or at least Josh did. And, if I remember correctly, they were NOT restricted from singing as they are today. I guess no one thought of copyright laws back then! I really hope this cast is truly diverse and not just the normal wannabees and people with agents. So many apply for this show and it pisses me off that people are 'recruited'. Ok, that's my 2 cents, but I'm still looking forward to seeing what Allison has in store for us in February!

OMG! No one has mentioned the part of that blog that says Rob/Amber have tried out for BB10 (not 9 thank god). If they make it into the house, I'm out for the summer. Can't do it. Do they really need to have a house of famous people? I hate that idea. Gross...who wants to see Joey Buttafuco in a swim suit, or worse...a Speedo? Ewwwww!!!!!!!

I'm also a fan of wake up calls and work and making them do things during the day. I live in MN and it just ticked me off to get off work every day only to find that some of them were either still in bed or were back in bed "napping." BB8 was so boring to me. I disliked Dick and got tired of Dani's whining and didn't like Jess and Eric laying around all day. B-O-R-I-N-G. I'd much rather have my BB1 people back. Loved Brittney and Josh and everyone. Oh, and back then we got the feeds for free. That was the best part.

I just can't see them bringing in Romber. For one thing, they would have an unfair advantage over everyone else in the house, unless everyone else came in with a partner.

Hi everyone, I'm so excited that there might be a BB coming up in Feb!!! Bad news for avid Bunny readers, she mentioned to a friend of mine that she may not be writing for this one as it's too close to the last one, very time consuming and underpaid. This makes me very sad as I have always enjoyed seeing what type of spin she puts on it. If you're going to miss the Bunny-kins, please email her and let her know. Maybe she can just do once a week?

Joey Buttafuco It would be offensive to have him in the house. Isnt he the guy who had the affair with the underage girl who was told to shoot his wife in the head? I vaguely remember seeing a movie about it. If I was a parent with a kid in the house, I would NOT want them anywhere near a man like that.

Sunshyne, There were actually 3 movies made about the "Long Island Lolita" - Amy Fisher. They were even on at the same time! I don't believe anyone 'told' her to shoot Mary Jo Buttafuco, though. I think she thought of that all on her own. Joey B. doesn't deserve to get off scott-free like he did, IMO, since he was the adult in the situation. I beleive Amy was only 17 at the time of the shooting, and went to prison.

yeah, Amy fisher! I thought that she was told by Joey that he wouldnt be with her unless the wife was 'out of the way'. So the writer's strike is ongoing and frankly, i cant see it ending easily. I can imagine BB Spring will be a sure thing
