According to the printed TV Guide listings and online listings at the TV Guide website, Big Brother is not scheduled Friday, September 12. The online listings also do not show that episode being moved to Saturday, September 13.

The current two-week online listings show Big Brother episodes on September 5, 9, 10, 16, and 17.

It doesn't make sense that they'd skip an episode altogether. The HGs are in there, being filmed - it's better to put together an ep than waste the resources already being used. They show is consistently placing in the Top 20, sometimes top 10. Even if they had to put it some place odd for scheduling reasons, they are still making money off of it. I think as the time gets closer, they schedule will solidfy.

The schedule for Friday, September 12 is listed as reruns of CSI, JAG, and CSI: Miami.

It doesn't appear to be in the schedule for Fri. 9/12 or Fri. 9/19. This is as of today, date of this post. Anyone know anything?

What happened to two extra episodes ordered? Skipping two Fridays gives them two extra episodes.

I just checked for my cable system, and it's the same deal, only Tue/Wed shows. I guess we will find out the scoop during those shows.

My TiVo also doesn't display a show for 9/12. It jumps from 9/10 to 9/16. Followed by the 17th and then 19th.

Am I stupid or does this then mean that the supposed "two extra shows" ordered by CBS to extend the season are not really extra shows at all?

You are not stupid, you are just working from an incomplete data set. What you have proposed is perhaps one answer though it is not what we were led to believe.

Well, Cross, I'm sure we all hope that there will indeed be two additional shows. Let's all keep this thread alive as we learn of any new scheduling details!

Sounds like a plan. I know I'd like to see a couple extra shows as well.

This is not unexpected. Let's look at two possible schedules...

Original finale date of 9/17

9/10...Eviction of 4th place HG, start of HOH contest, probably endurance. Second round of competition takes place Thursday. Friday or Saturday, 3rd place nominee evicted.

9/16...TV show consists of final HOH & eviction.

9/17...Finale, with jury questions and then the final vote. They don't have to catch us up on what they've been doing, since we already know!

Extended Season, finale 9/24

9/10...Eviction of 4th place & start of final HOH
Second round of HOH takes place on Friday or Saturday.

9/16...Show consists of first two rounds of HOH and plenty of filler.

9/17...Live HOH finale & eviction as well as update from jury house

9/23...Questioning from the jury. Lots of dramatic build-up and misleading info.

9/24...Bring jury in live for lame questioning from Julie (i.e., justin & dana romance, Jack & Erika frindship, will any of the exes keep in touch, etc.)

Reveal final vote, interview after.

So, basically, they added two shows and just stretched out the time frame.

That's my guess, anyway. :)

That stinks if there is no new show, so we are just seing the shows that were suppose to be in it place

The fault might be our own for making a reasonable assumption that Friday shows had been scheduled.

I hope you are wrong, but your proposal does look credible to me.

Big Brother 4 is scheduled for Friday, September 19, according to TVGuide.com. The articles announcing the extra episodes also specifically listed Friday, September 19, and Wednesday, September 24, as the extra episode dates.

There cannot be a BB episode on Tuesday, September 23, since that night is wall-to-wall series and season premieres on CBS--Navy NCIS, The Guardian, and Judging Amy.

It does appear that there was never an episode scheduled for September 12, so the September 19 and 24 episodes are additions.

I have a printed TV Guide for next week, and there are Big Brother episodes on Tuesday, Wednesday (live--listing says the 10th person is evicted), and Friday.

Why would they cancel tv shows when it's getting more interesting towards the end... they would have a bigger audience..

Did my ears play tricks on me, or did Julie Chen not say that there was going to be an eviction next Wednesday? She usually says it, but I don't remember hearing it this week. Anyone tape it?

You know what, Bastable, now that you mention it -- she said something like, "And join me here next Wednesday for another.....". Show? Not eviction.

Let's just consider less shows a blessing and hope for better next year.

Julie said, "Then join me back here one week from tonight."

I thought she just forgot to say next eviction, If they think people are going to watch this over the bachelor I think they are in for a rude wake up call.

I'll watch Big Brother over the Bachelor, despite being a little bit disappointed in how the show is winding down. I still want to know what will happen. Alison has secured herself a final 2 spot no matter who wins HOH- and Jun's chances are pretty good to go as well. Jun can probably beat Robert in round 2 and Alison can almost definitely beat Robert (if he did beat Jun) in round 3, whatever the competitions may be.

I've invested way too much time into the show to not see the last episodes.

Julie said at the end of the show that there wouldn't be a show this Friday. Tune in on Tuesday to see the next installment of the HOH competition, and Wednesday for the next eviction.

Okay, now we're getting conflicting information. Did she specifically mention the eviction next Wednesday or didn't she? Who's got it on tape?
