Hey just got this in my email and thought I'd share it with you. It comes from Entertainment Weekly and reads as follows...

*While not much has changed from last summer (Julie Chen remains as host, and it's likely the streaming online video will return for at least $9.95 a month), Shapiro says this group is far more savvy to the ways of ''Big Brother.'' ''Some have become students of the show, so they feel they can compete even [better than last year's crew],'' he explains. ''However, we made a few format and rule changes that will make them have to rethink their strategy.'' Ooh, we love a mystery!

Fortunately for CBS, reality shows like Fox's ''American Idol'' and NBC's ''Dog Eat Dog'' are having huge success this summer, and Shapiro's confident that folks will tune into ''BB3'' -- if only to get an update on what last year's winner, Will, is up to. (Hint: Shannon is still in the picture, and he's peddling a spec script in Hollywood!) ''This cast is every bit as colorful and competitive as last year's,'' promises Shapiro, ''but in some ways more devious or cutthroat.'' We're in.


Hmmmm I don't know about you but I'm excited!

Did you say script? Is that Will or Shannon or both wanting to act? I guess they both are so full of it it would be a riot to see them both...I guess that could be good or bad...LOL

I'm kind of thinking it was nice of Will to give Arnold some camera time. I thought he wanted to distance himself from the BB completely.

This will be interesting. I understood the whole concept of BB was new to the BB1 people. But I was surprised many of the BB2 people weren't familiar with the game beforehand either. If the BB3 people are as savy as A.S says, then this really could be an exciting game played far more creatively than in the past.

How many times did we hear last year that a hg was there because his/her manager told him/her to apply to be on the show and that he/she had never watched it? In Arnold-language, "Some have become students of the show" could mean two people. Since the hgs are islolated several days prior to the show, I hope that they've been provided with tapes from last year's show if they haven't watched before. Tapes of the live feeds would be even better.

I also remember reading that Will had distanced himself from BB. However, as the winner from last year, he may be contractually required to be available this year. I wonder if that script he's peddling is the same old thing that he and Mike Boogie had developed about reality show contestants?

I heard rumor on some board (can't remember which) that Will was writing a script for a medical thriller. I guess he wants to follow in the footesteps of Robin Cook! Actually, with as smart and articualte as Will COULD be, I thought this might be a good venue for him.

We'll see... :)
