There continues to be speculation that this season has some connection to the CBS show, Jericho. I have never watched it, so I went to the site here: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/jericho/about/ and tried to see what this show was about, and how it might relate to this season's BB.

Returning for a second season as a result of one of the most unprecedented and impassioned displays of fan support on behalf of a television program, JERICHO is a drama about what happens in the aftermath of a nuclear explosion in the once peaceful town of Jericho. Following the battle with New Bern, the citizens of Jericho begin reconstruction efforts to restore the town’s power and communication with the outside world. As the country’s new leaders, the Cheyenne government, attempt to establish their stronghold in the region, Jericho’s citizens become suspicious of their new leaders and question why their community is so important to this newly formed government.

It sure does seem that it is going to play a part in the twist that was mentioned in the envelope yesterday (the nuclear warning sound they will hear during the next few weeks).

What do you all think of this? Any Jericho watchers out there who can shed more light?
I'm guessing that when the warning sound goes off, HOH may switch instantly. Either that or voting will take place at unspecific times, not allowing teams to do too much plotting beforehand. Can you even imagine if right before a vote, it all switches up?

ETA: Sorry, I see that I spelled Jericho wrong! If any mods see this, could they fix that, please?

Never saw this show, only short clips during promotions, (didn't really like the lead actor), but it's possible that there is a connection with that nuclear red alert sound...

The worst scenario I could think of is that the new ruler is Dick!!!

During the news banner that they saw after the challenge in one episode, there was a reference to the Hudson River Virus...That was a Jericho reference. Not sure what it means, but it does seem to bring Jericho into Big Brother. Obviously, by the fact that no one in the house got it, none of them are fans, which means if they bring a cast member in there, you will see a lot of fake excitement.

During one of the comps (I forget which one) there were some crates, and one of them had "Jericho" printed on the side. I didn't think anything of it at the time, just figured it was part of set decorations on the CBS lot.

Another idea, I read an interview with Jessica (BB8) on another website, and she said she couldn't say anything about possible future appearances on this season. But, Jessica and Eric are know to their fans as "Jeric"...

On a side note, there's a big push to get Team Jeric on TAR.

I didn't know that Hudson River thing was a Jericho reference... don't watch the show.

There's something about peanuts too - apparently Jericho fans sent tons of peanuts to CBS to get the show back on after it was cancelled.

Remember the wiring challenge they had to find wires in barrels of peanuts. Actually I think that challenge was where I saw the word Jericho - it's also where the HRVirus was mentioned.

I watch Jericho .... not that much this season.... kinda boring now....1st season was really good.

The ONLY time the "hudson river virus" was mentioned ever ..was this last episode .... survivors from other towns in the show, have contracted a virus and have no vaccinations to stop it from effecting people so they are dying.

The "fake" goverment that has just recently taken over the town is destoying all the medicine that can be used for the vaccinations. The characters in Jericho got ahold of medicine and stole from fake gov before they could be destroyed and "saved the people" end of Tuesdays show. and probably end of the virus storyline.

No peanuts involved in the Jericho story whatsoever.... No connection to that .... unless Ally's alergic reaction was set up by BB to add to this "mystery we are trying to figure out" ???

just my thoughts on that....

So try to figure out the connection form the Jericho story.

Jericho fans sent in well over 30 tons of peanuts into CBS to get the show back on the air. That is how the peanuts are connected Jericho.. I am a huge fan of Jericho just like I am with Big Brother.

Well then Ashley, as a huge fan of Jericho, we'll expect you to come up with the connection and explain what's going to happen next!

Bbnine & Ashley, I watch Jericho also but I'm having a hard time following it this season. Since you watch too, I'll ask you two this (or anyone else), you know how Jake's mom is supposedly at some cabin trying to regroup after the death of her husband & they havent been showing her on the show? Well I haven't paid much attention to the decor theme of the BB house this season, but I thought I heard a houseguest say it was decorated like a cabin, is that true? If so, could that be some sort of connection as well, that the BB house is the cabin the mother is at? I have know idea what that connection could be & I know I'm really reaching here, but I figured I'd throw it our there since we're speculating. Maybe someone can come up with a good theory. However, the Hudson River Virus of Jericho seems to be playing a large part in BB, so I'm not sure where it all fits in.

So someone is going to "save" the evicted couple (that's the eviction surprise Julie is referring to), someone who will get ahold of the 'medicine' (according to Ashley's take above) and so delay eviction... to make the show last till April??? Mmmm But this medicine will have to be introduced before Wednesday and the nuclear red alert only is going to start in the next few weeks... I'm lost!!!

It does look like the inside of a cabin. I think Julie said that was the look they where goin for the season. It very well could be some kind of connection.. I never really thought about it.. Now you have me thinking..

If the cabin thing had anything to do with BB/Jericho..... I think it would of tied in to Jerico last week also .... I think they would have actually showed Pamela Reeds character sitting in a cabin.....I would think.

I think the cabin look is to go along with the "winter theme" jmo

I don't like Jericho this season at all .... I also think it is the end of Jericho for good this time. JMO

LOL, glad I could get the thoughts churning! Let us know if you come up with something, I'm at a loss for a pliable theory.

That is not what I was saying at all. All I was doing was explaining how Jericho and peanuts are connected.. Sorry if anyone took that wrong.. But it is a very good theory..

Bbnine, I agree, something is off with Jericho this season. The vibe & flow of the show is different, it doesn't have that same magic as before that caused us fans to save it. It's a little hard to follow now.

I agree. It is hard to follow. I think its because they are trying to pack to much into an hour show.

I should start by saying that I had never watched Jericho before last week's episode. It was Big Brother that made me want to watch and see what it was all about. Yes, the Hudson River virus was on the show.

Now, my theory on this is that BB will somehow "infect" half of each couple with this virus, "killing" one partner off and still maintaining their theme of "Till Death do you Part". I think that is how they will separate the couples into individual players. Now, don't ask me how they'll do all this, I have no idea but it's what I've come up with as a possibility anyway.

Anyone have any thoughts on that theory?

Oh don't say that BBnine! I have all the eppy's from Jericho for this season saved on tivo (haven't had time to watch yet,) I want to hear it's good!

Hehe, I've been wondering if the only connection to bb's peanuts is that they're from those that were sent in by the lost fans!

I PVR'd Jericho but haven't watched them yet either. Will probably wait until I have all seven before sitting down to it. Please tell me they didn't ruin it

Purplecharm... that's an interesting theory... "infect half of each couple with the virus "killing" one partner, they need to do it this way to remain with the theme "Till Death Do You Part" and so possibly the evicted couple will have the surprise of seeing one of them surviving and staying in the house... But when are they going to introduce this virus? Unless they're waiting POV ceremony tomorrow and depending on who goes up against Alison they'll have to get this virus into the house and the first red alert will be on the Live Show saving either Alison or Ryan after the vote... go figure!!

Last week on Jericho, the people in Jericho were in radio contact with another town, and the virus was killing people in that town. The government was claiming it hadn't traveled that far. Meanwhile, in Jericho some vaccine was available, but the evil Government man would not let them use it, and sent it away to be destroyed, claiming it was possibly contaminated. The heroes of the show managed to steal it back, and people inside the new government, that were helping the townspeople, made it look like it had been destroyed. Most of Jericho was vacinated. Meanwhile, the Military guy in charge sent help to the other town.There is an evil type government guy and a Military guy running the town.The military guy, I think, is going to turn out to be helping the citizens of Jericho. Hope this makes some sense.
So, I'm not sure if the virus will be an issue on the show in the future or not.

Is it possible they did the tie in to gain viewers for their shows since BB is on right before Jericho??

Keep BB viewers around for Jericho and bring Jerocho viewers to BB??
