I'm hearing it's starting the 28th (A Monday instead of a Sunday this year because the Australian version of So You Think You Can Dance ends on the 27th)

New Host- Gretel is out.

I am going to miss Gretel. I think I am one of the few that liked her, even if she did tick me off a couple times being mean during eviction interviews.

Kyle and Jackie O this year...and nominations will be on the Sunday night...right after evictions because they are only available that night..

Kyle was the guy who invaded the house last year but lasted what less than 12 hours...

Also uplate is gone...no Mike Goldman every night..and they will have a Big Brother's Big Mouth..but it might not be exactly like the UK version

Thanks Lori!!
Does anyone know if they changed the network that is sponsoring BB? I thought I had read something about that a long time ago.

I am really waiting for this. I quit watching the US one because I hate the HGs. Hoping for a fun Aussie group this season.

I am signed up and a member! I forgot, to sign up you have to have a AU postal code, I think I used 4000.

Here is the home page.

As of now $33 AU is about $30.90 US...and most credit cards have a 1-2% surcharge on foreign currency payments, so call it $33 US overall..

and there seems to be a clue about the theme...They're doing the "Little Sister" blog again and she closes her first entry (and says she'll have more stuff once the HM's go into lockdown Sunday) with this...

"Remember how last year I would sign off my blog with “peace + love?” This year? I don’t think so..."

I'm thinking they're doing the "rivals" theme we did last season.....at least in part.

Well the first HM has been revealed-- and it's the oldest HM ever on the Australian version (She's a 53-year old grandmother)...also, one of the other HM's is the youngest HM ever (I think they had 18 year olds on this version before...)

I'm having trouble signing up even though I am signed in....get a blank page. the forum over there says there is a problem and should be fixed soon. They recommend signing on to dance au which I did and it said I am already signed in.
I guess I'll wait a few days and try again.

I was able to sign in today. I had to put in NSW as my state and zip code of 2000
my phone number I put 20 as prefix and my reg # for the rest. It took my credit card and gave me a receipt number so I guess it's all set. Nothing to do but wait I guess!

Yeah, Kellee. I really enjoy AU so much more than USA BB. The only problem is that I lose so much sleep. The time difference is a bummer (think the other b word) on the West Coast, but I always manage to be up at 2:30 am on Thursdays for Friday night games, LOL. Oh, and I can usually watch them getting up for the day at work just before I go home.

This might be a stupid question but can I use any old regular Visa since I'm in the USA or should I use one of those one-time use cards?
