MaryK has it figured out. They're just going to drag it out when it's at it's most boring point.

Just when I thought I would soon be free of BB4, this happens.
Let's get this thing over with and give it a decent burial!

it's a gambit for the beginning of the season...BB is doing pretty well, so they want to give a possible boost to the debut of "The Brotherhood of Poland, NH" that night. It also gives them an extra week to promote the "Becker" and "King of Queens" moves to Wednesday, which is considered by a lot of people to be a risk.

I don't know how they are gonna delay the end by a week, however....

I thought that they were already going to have a week where no one gets eliminated, because of Scott's expulsion. Now it seems they are going to have to have an additional non-elimination week? Doesn't seem right. Maybe someone from the sequester house will indeed be rejoining the game.

Either someone will enter the house or we will have some weeks that are even more boring than they are already and that does seem almost impossible.

Seems to me if they know they are going to extend the season, that wouldn't necessarily mean waiting til the end to add the shows. If they do wait til the end, it would have to be shows worth watching with some big impact in order to take advantage of sweeps. The shows during sweeps are usually more dramatic, more funny, more visual ...more more more. Is sweeps the same thing as the new fall line-up? If so, then Sept and Oct would be about right instead of Nov as Ric mentioned.

In the past, I would have loved an indepth Q&A session with the quests to get their feelings on various things and a deeper understanding of the gameplay and decisions, but this is a different type of group than we have had in the past. It is good enough to watch them all cut each others throats, then get rid of them more or less forever. No need to actually talk to them.

These people are like the one night stand version of reality contestants.

With that in mind, I'm not sure what to do with the extra 2 hours.

Wouldn't it be interesting if they did a 'Dog eat Dog' and let the evicted houseguests compete to win the half mil from the final two and split it amongst themselves... That would be fun.

Maybe the could finnaly show the Lizard's Trial from last year ?

I don't think CBS is going to allow people who were on a Fox show to appear on BB. After all, AI drubbed CBS's "Star Search" in the ratings. The Star Search people were vehemently critical of AI, saying that AI stole their idea and I'm sure they even threatened to sue over it. I think there is enough bad blood that it is safe to say that no one from AI will be on BB.

The thing I noticed is that the final will be up against the premier of the new Bachelor...which I think is the key..they know how solid the Bachelor series has been in ratings for ABC..and BB has been pulling in better ratings this year so maybe they decided instead of throwing in a new show against a tried and tested on they would try to gain the edge...

I personally would like to see once they are down to the final two all the sequestered guests move back into the house...then they will have a week of ass kissing from the two finalist...should make it a little more intresting...

They will probably throw together a mid-season recap show "with previously unseen scenes". Like Survivor does mid season.

What if the lease on the "Outhouse" runs out? That would be good. Then they would have to put them back into the main house. Or maybe Arnies house! That would be priceless!

The eviction to the final two will be on September 17 with one eviction per week now. And that means the final two will have a full week in the house just like last year. As of now CBS has posted no other premiere week changes to its website, so the new episodes are likely in the normal timeslot on Friday, September 19, and then the finale Wednesday, September 24.

This only means one thing... One or more people are going to be coming back into the house:)

season premier week and sweeps week are two different things. sweeps are in nov, as stated earlier.

if cbs ordered 2 more episodes they want something so riveting that viewers will have to watch rather than switch to the new season of west wing, bachelor, etc. so it won't be a boring week and it won't be a "best of" show, it will be 2 new shows that will be "must see tv."

i'm sure ASP is working on another "expect the unexpected" twist right now. stay tuned.

This totally blows!

Last year the final 2 were NOT alone for an entire week. In fact, the final 3 were NOT alone for the entire week.

Last year, Amy was evicted Thursday, Jason was evicted Saturday and the final show was the following Thursday.

This year, it looks like the final 3 will be there for a full week, then the final 2 another week.

Therre is not one combination of people left in this house that I would want to watch for that period of time.

They better think of something good!

i agree, they should not just 'drag' the show for the sake of premier week in sept., it would be pure boredom unless there is something interesting going around the house.

Maybe they will be doing a tie in with the new Channel 4 reality series in England called LapDance Island.

Click here for Lap Dance Island info

They are looking for contestants. Here is what they say:

"Welcome to Lapdance Island. The reality show that's right in your face – 24 hours a day

E4 is looking for 10 hot blooded male contestants to battle it out as 40 professional lap dancers do everything in their power to make it hard for them.

So if you think you've got what it takes to keep your mind on the bounty and your hands off the booty, it's time to sign up for the experience of a lifetime."

Maybe they will air the jury deliberations for two shows. Maybe the live feeds will show those deliberations. Then we don't need to watch two weeks of 3 or 2 houseguests. I would love to see the deliberations. I think that it would have been fascinating last year if we could have seen the hg's come to an (almost) unanimous decision to choose Lisa over Danielle.

Perhaps NBC will loan them Rob from "For Love or Money" as he continues on his quest to be a winner of something, anything...

<They're just going to drag it out when it's at it's most boring point.>

I thought it was already at its most boring point.
