Say I'm crazy but at least there's ONE good thing coming out of the Writer's Strike! Maybe they will take a page out of the first season and run more shows a week.

If I admit to be excited, is that tantamount to accepting that I have no life?

I live where the the Jan/Feb nights are very long and very cold. There is no other thing to do but stay inside and find indoor fun. BB during the winter is a blessing for us

oh geezzzzz I got a big grin on my face when I saw a 2008 BB thread has already been started LOL I think we might be getting too excited though. If I recall correctly, the last time there was a writer's strike it didnt last long at all. But then again, Reality shows are so common now. There isnt the same pressure to end the strike.

I just rid of my Showtime recently. They are going to think I'm nuts when I want it back again so soon! Funny story, one of the casting people called Nick from BB8 and tried to recruit him again. So he called back and talked to the lady and she said oh you are Nicholas? He said yes, and I was on Big Brother 8! LOL, makes you wonder about these casting people doesn't it?

I'm excited! In the summer I always feel so guilty for not being outside enjoying the warm sun - but in February in Canada I hate to even stick my nose outside. LOL

LOL Milos, that is cute. And LOL about the summer guilt of BB. I have it too. It would be nice to watch it in the cooler months. ;) From what I've been reading, it doesn't look as though the strike is going to end anytime soon. Production on shows is usually shut down from Thanksgiving until New Years anyway...if I remember correctly. SAG has a contract coming up in June. Should be interesting.

thanks for the article, Hypermom this quote stood out for me - Alison G. said "I promise you it will be different from any other 'Big Brother' you've ever seen" she must mean there's no lame twist

The twist is they're going to enforce the rules.

the twist will probably be that they dont Have to stay in the house. They will do stuff like surreal life IMHO. I will NOT watch, and I'm deadly serious, if AG dares to put an 'allstar' cast together again. None of us were surprised to see the Sov6 repeated again BB7 but we all admit that it got a little old. The fact that they tried to cast Nick again shows me that they are considering past cast. Hmmmmmm

It was a new person working that called Nick. Total accident, total mistake. It won't be past HG's, nor a celebrity BB.
