The last promo for BB9 I saw, was Julie saying that the twist this year was that they were matching the houseguests up with soulmates. Anyone else hear this? I didn't hear the whole thing....but it sounded odd to me.

I got an email from WeLoveBigBrother.com, and they said the same thing. They also had a copy of a commercial announcing it, and it said "play together, and if you're not careful, be evicted together". It said they were matched with their soulmates.

Yeah there is a youtube clip showing something like that - I guess we will find out tomorrow for sure, I am going to to check my TIVO for any promos from this morning. I HATE the idea. Alison needs to stop messing with the damn game. Am I not mistaken or isn't Season 2 seen as being one of the best - and Season 3 also seems like it was pretty good to me - that was the last time there was no huge 'TWIST.'

IMO - Season 3 and Season 2 were the best in the current format. Season 4 where they first messed with it was a disaster.

As long as they truly don't know each other from real life, I'll be ok with the twist.

I agree with Jimmer, seasons 2&3 before the twists were the best. This twist will really mess up preconceived strategies of individual players.

Well Naja, you're out of luck on that request. At least two people are going into the house that already know each other. Due some very good investigators out there the myspace profiles of two HGs show them hugging on one and just chillin' on the couch on another. The profiles have not been updated since 01/30/08.

Yes, season 2 & 3 was really the last time BB was GOOD. Ever since they decided to have their own input with a lame twist, the show has sucked. Maybe they should put Alison Grodner and her crew in the house if they want to be IN there so bad. I bet there wouldn't be any nudity!

Well, that's one way to shorten the season. Evict 1 and the 'soulmate' goes out at the same time. Cut's the season in half.

it's supposed to be a normal-length season Kona- so they'll probably do basically what Biggest Loser did this time- They'll get rid of couples the first 2 or 3 evictions, then split them up and they play as individuals (and there's a rumor that the early evictees might have a chance to come back in some way). I won't be suprised at all if they introduce the same incentive they used for the secret partners season when it becomes individual to keep the pairs in play- if an original pair makes it intact to the final 2, winner gets $1 million and runner up gets $250,000. Doing pairs for the first 2 evictions leaves 12 people at the same time a normal 14-person season would have 12- doing it for the first 3 basically means you get rid of one of the two double evictions in a normal season.

Sigh. I just saw the cast yesterday but read nothing of the twist, and felt slightly upbeat that there was no obvious Dick in the house or something. After just coming out of an awesome winter BB in the UK where (gasp) they all basically got along and (gasp) there was still a compelling show, combined with the (probably false) rumours this season may be more like a UK season (what happened to "boot camp"?) I felt like this season may be ok. Then I read today it's BB9:ADT (Another Dumb Twist). It's really too bad CBS just doesn't get that the only thing preventing BB from becoming a truly breakout show is the producers!! If they just let the show run and be entertaining due to a strong cast (and/or good situations to watch like the UK show) it'd be much more popular than the niche it's in now.

I may not watch BB this season. I am so TIRED of the crappy twists. Not to mention all the young, beautiful people. Some of them even have modeling experience not to mention a former Penthouse Pet? PA-LEASE! I wish they would get back to the days of "nobodys" like Chicken George. He was a "regular joe". A little off his rocker but not an actor.

but think of all of the theories we had last year. The Heaven and Hell themed design of the house and THAT never panned out at all. Even the Alice in Wonderland theme was lame ( and Our clue as to whom the producers picked for the finals) this is the First season that neither me or my extended family are excited. Last year's suggestive scam ruined the integrity of the concept IMHO.

I'm so sick and tired of Allison shoving her twists down our throat. This may be the lamest twist yet. And after looking at some of the bios of this group, I really feel sorry for the two guinea pigs that are stuck in the house. I'm not going to miss American Idol on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to watch BB.

Am I the only one who thinks this twist could actually be interesting? Specifically the part where pairs go together. If I were paired with an annoying chick who was about to get me kicked out because everyone hated her, there would be drama on the feeds.

I wonder if they are anticipating if some HG were going to be attracted to someone else's "match". I saw AG in the Early Show today and I don't know why but she bugged me.

She bugs me because I don't feel she is a 'fan' in the same sense we are. Felt the same way about Arnold before he left. Many of us were fans for BB1 - I suspect she never saw that version when it was on.
