Lawmom, I agree. I wouldn't be as nice as some of the HG's have been when it comes to things that get posted.

I read somewhere that Will said in a chat that he will be participating. I guess we wait and see.

From Jokers, some pics of the inside of the house:

Ketch, those are all just various members of the media who got to into the house and play BB for 12 hours. None are the real cast.

I read at RealityBBQ.com that there will be no early discount code from Real this season.

Wording from the latest commercial:

"The Big Brother houseguests are moving in, and we've matched each of them with a soul mate" ... cut to video of Dick in the DR saying "yes" ... "They'll compete together, and if they're not careful, be evicted together. Big Brother premieres next Tuesday."

Hmmm ...

Guess we're never going to just get total strangers again. Naja they should be the cast!

They may be strangers. Maybe they are picking who they think would be the HGs soulmates

It sounds like maybe they don't know each but that BB matched them up. It could be pretty cool- kind of like Beauty and the Geek meets BB.

OK- you know what, this makes a little sense- and that's why there are 16 players.

Here's what they could do:
They split them off into 8 pairs, and for the first two or three evictions, they are nominated and evicted as pairs. After that point, the teams are dissolved and it's every person for themselves. This way they get more drama early on (if one person of a team ticks everyone off but the other one is loved by everyone, what do you do?), and it keeps the numbers the same timewise (after 2 evictions, you'd be down to 12-the same as if you'd do with a normal 14 players- and if you wanted to shorten the show a little, just add a 3rd pair eviction or something). It's a good idea...if you watch the Biggest Loser, that's what they've done basically this season.

Well, according to what I read elsewhere, these may be people who originally applied for a dating show. Once again we may have people who aren't even BB fans.

It may be better if they aren't BB fans? I do wish they would go back to all strangers though.

The other problem with pairings is you get the effect we had in Season 6, where the house gets divided. You're much more likely to see two big alliances with pairings.

Jimmer, whenever I see one of the contestants say something like "I never watched BB (or survivor or any reality show) except for the tapes they gave me", I feel like a real deserving fan of the show got ripped off.

I certainly see your viewpoint. On the other hand, sometimes a true fan of the show may not be as entertaining as a person who is naive about the process and goes into it without any preconceived expectations or strategy.

I wonder if they did the pair thing in case they needed to cut the season short because of an end to the writers' strike. Since they mention in the commercial that they "could" be evicted together, it leaves the option to wrap things up faster if need be. Or make it extra-long.

Having 16 houseguests would require some double evictions though for BB to end the first week of May.

Can I just say how much I am enjoying the Dirty Little Secrets commercial. I fell in love with Tyson from All American Rejects on a Bon Jovi special and I enjoy seeing him sing in the commercial.

and he is young enough to be my son

this is what I heard as to the cost of the feeds this year! This year RealPlayer has raised the price of the SuperPass. The SuperPass is free for the first 14 days and then just $14.99/mon
