I'm sure that was the main reason.

UNLESS.. they are going to split the house into two teams by bringing back the evicted HG's. Then having them all play individually without partners but still on seperate teams. Competitions will be by teams and the losing team gets someone evicted but the winning team decides who the two should be to go up.

I'm nuts for Jericho but I can't figure out the tie-in, except that CBS wanted BB fans to watch Jericho and vice versa.

Could be Erin. Last I heard the ratings for Jericho were pretty low (down like 40% from last season.) That was two weeks or so ago. Not sure about bring Jericho veiwers to bb though, there really wasn't all that much promotion of the Jericho tie in to bb was there?

I really like Jericho, I wish more people would check it out. I'd like it to stay on the air. I don't know the tie- in either, except that they are trying to advertise Jericho. I do think it would be fun to have some Jericho links inside the house - somehow. I don't think I've heard any of the houseguests mention whether they watched it or not, or if they even caught on. I am not able to watch the feeds as much as I can in the summer. Has anyone heard any of the HGS make reference to watching the show?

Maybe CBS is just trying to get Jericho fans to become BB addicts so they can axe the show again! J/K But I don't get why they are putting so much effort on Jericho just because its back on the air... it got canceled for ratings right? Why spend so much energy on a show that has so few (albeit enthusiastic) viewers? Now a CSI tie-in... THAT would be cool.

Aremid, I think that even if the BB houseguests watched Jericho last season before entering the house, the Hudson River Virus wasn't introduced into Jericho's storyline. Hi Mmq, no the mom on Jericho & Sheila don't look anything alike.

Carrie, because the fans that Jericho does have are diehard fans. Those fans are what brought Jericho back for a 2nd season because of the intensity, passion & fervor they showed with sending CBS all those peanuts to bring the show back. CBS brought Jericho back because the fans asked for them too & they said they'd do their part to keep it on even longer if we can get increased viewership. Increased viewership isn't happening so it'll probably end after the ordered 7 episodes this season, but I'm glad CBS is taking their Jericho fans seriously & at least trying to promote the show, unlike other networks like The CW, who could care less about their shows fans & make it a point to let us know they can care less.

I agree with cheeky that they are going to have the old hg's come back in and fight for control.

Pamela Reed wasn't asked back to Jericho. I noticed several actors missing. I think they are going to give someone a vaccine against the virus and save them. I hope it's not Allison. I don't like here at all.

On the show that was aired last week, on thing that was said that I found interesting was when they were talking to the doctor about vaccinating the town. He said something about not having to vaccinate the entire town because of the "heard effect". I didn't catch exactly what he said but I could see if they are going to have the evicted HGs play for the vaccine and the ability to reenter the house. Or maybe not.

I saw the "mom" from Jericho on a promo for a new mid season show that will start soon. I am sure that is why she isn't on Jericho right now. I figured she would just guest star from time to time. Sorry I can't remember which new show it was but I believe it will be on NBC.

Jericho is a very complicated show to watch, at least for me. You need to be able to remember information from episodes from the first season, last week and perhaps even weeks ago. I often miss stuff, but my Hubby always remembers. I believe the link to BB is to get more Jericho viewers. The common demoninator is the intense relationships between the people and the mystery of some of the people involved. Jericho is an evening soap. (Who was it that shot J.R.?) I love it, but it is what it is.

Mummy: I agree I just watched the first three episodes to see if I might catch any clues to this Hudson River Virus. They really pack a lot of information in each episode. I did pick up on a few things that resemble Big Brother but no definate clue as to where this is going, but maybe someone here can put it together. In Ep.1 The Military of the New Government restores Jerico's communication with the outside world. (The Veto Comp) Ep.2 is titled CONDOR Operation Condor is the code name used to prepare Jerico to recieve the New Governments President. Ep.3 The Hudson River Virus has not been contained and is spreading toward Jerico. The store owner aquired a shipment of the vaccine but is soon confuscated by The New Govenrment. The towns people managed with help from a man on the inside to get the drugs back and inoculate the people at risk. Maybe this is a false lead by big brother to hide the true nature of the twist, and let us spin our theroies. What do you think?

I do believe that James/Adam came up with the name, I just found it funny that is was also used in the episode. Coincidence??

I think the way they're incorporating Jericho is really odd. If you've watched Jericho it's a link to the show, but if you haven't there doesn't seem to have been much attempt by BB to make a point that it was Jericho and to plug the show. Maybe they just really wanted to use up those peanuts.

Pirate, I thought it funny too that they used the Operation Condor name in BB as well. If it's more than coincidence that it's mentioned on both Jericho & BB, then since you said on Jericho it means to prepare them to receive the new president, then does that mean that on BB the remaining houseguests will have to prepare to receive one or all of the evicted houseguests that were considered Operation Condor? That means it could be all or one of the four, which is Parker, Jen, Alex, & Amanda (hmm, was Jacob part of Condor?). Personally, I think all the twist theories on this board will be far more intriguing & clever than what BB winds up doing. BB's twists tend to always build us up for some great promise but wind up always being anti-climactic, letting us down. The twist theories TVCH members invent are far more interesting, if you ask me.

They've brought Janelle to Two and a half men set and then they had Neil Patrick Harris in during All Stars. Maybe they are gonna bring in the Jerico cast for a day or have a comp to take a HG or 2 to the Jerico set.
