Watching the Early show this morning it made it sound like they had people fill out like a compatibility chart Like for match making and they may be paired up depending on who BB matched there personality's with? Not sure did anyone else catch The Early show?

They said something about who they were matched up with they would be partners for the show. Compete together, be head of household together and be voted out together. and sleep together

I watched the show. Alison said they picked their soulmate by how they answered questions, etc. I wonder how good they are as matchmakers? Seems Alison is going for romantic hook-ups even if she has to force them into it. She said there was a gay couple. And obviously one of the males mentioned liking older women.

Why does Allison feel the need to shove Showmances down our throats?

So far I'm not impressed with the houseguest because they call look the same. I still think Allison needs to go.

I don't mind the matchmaking as it introduces a interesting dynamic and that is essentially two player Big Brother based on relying on a complete stranger. It will change the game in a major way. You will have to play it entirely differently.

Does this winter edition mean there's not going to be a summer edition? That would majorly suck!

My understanding is that there will be a summer edition as well.

So it is rumored that this edition is only 6 weeks long. I guess that makes sense if the "couples" are going to be evicted together. So then, what is the deal with Real Player? From what I hear, there is no discount given this year.. Would we be better off doing the 14 day free trial, then we only have 1 month left (what 14.95 a month) vs. the BB package for $39.99?? (why would Real say the BB package is god for 3 months if BB only lasts 6 weeks...are they just presuming that we want to watch refeeds?)

Bonbon...I thought I read that it is a full season, not six weeks. I would presume that at some point they begin to play for themselves and not in teams.

Thanks, Bonza. That's a full three months, then. I can't wait to see where Bonza shows up. Maybe on that massage table, with Precious doing the massage?

I wish I could provide a link to where I read that May finale date, but I will put it here if I stumble upon it again. It was recent so I may be able to retrace my steps. Oh, Bee - I love your idea! I may not have the skill for that one but it's something to aspire to. lol

Here’s a direct quote from the woman who did the leadin on The Early Show this morning, “...16 strangers locked away for 90 days...” That should put away any doubts as to the length of BB9.

Hmmm. Ok, there are 16 people in the house and they evict 2 per week. In the first 6 weeks 12 people would have been evicted. I don't get this timing. I heard the same thing on the Early Show that Redhawk posted about the 90 days. Any thoughts?

Rose...maybe the double evictions only go a week or two. Remember how double HOH in BBAS was only the first week?

Yeah, but their theme is 'til death do us part' which makes me think the 'death' is when they are both evicted. The even said the pairs get HOH together, win Veto together, and are evicted together. I'm confused! So, I was thinking more on the line where there will be some 'non elimination' weeks, a la Amazing Race?

As soon as I heard about the Couples Twist I guessed that they would be forced to share a Bed Ala Paradise Hotel. WOW, AG sure is determined that there be sex.....or at least 'suggestive' movements so that can be promoted to gain ratings MY opinion only
