I don't either scooter, but it'll be interesting to see how they work it.
Here's the details- some of it is based on this press release:
http://www.nbcumv.com/news/giselle-blondet-comes-telemundo-host-much-anticipated-reality-show-%E2%80%9Cgran-hermano%E2%80%9D-big-brother?network=33144&show=5420336
-Show starts Sunday January 10th
-supposed to last about 80 days
-the house is in a studio in Mexico that's being used for a BB edition there (which ends this week, so it'll be a short turnaround time)
-14 players start (7 men, 7 women)
-$250,000 for the winner
-it looks like they won't be using the US rules, though I'm not 100% sure on it (the press release says the HG's nominate and the audience evicts, but when it was first announced they said they were going to use the US rules)
-Eviction shows will be Sundays at 8pm Eastern
-Nomination shows will be Wednesdays at 7pm
-there will be a daily show at Midnight
-there will be some sort of feed; no word on if it's free or there will be a subscription

I wish I spoke Spanish. Maybe there might be some sort of sub-title option? Or not.

Darnit, I thought I had the Telemundo channel, but it's yet another pay channel that should be free.

I'm hearing they'll use a 4-view setup online, it'll be accessed from the show website (no word on any cost yet)

Can't understand a thing but it is fun to watch.

LOL, 3 of them seem to have some sort of task to paint a picture, they put on white plastic suits and are painting.
The house looks like of fun, seems like they may have a nice outdoor space.

Wow they have some sort of triangle above ground fire pit thingie in the backyard, plus I love the birdcage swing.
It must be cold there, is it winter?

It's in Mexico City Dipo (they're using the BB Mexico house, which just ended their season a few weeks ago)- it's supposed to be about 70 all week down there.

Cool game, they have a bunch of yellow alphabet letters floating in the pool, they use a giant spoon to fish a bunch out and then it seems they select a space on a big board and then spell a word.
Once they are done they cover it up, not sure how the word to spell is chosen, but it seems they can only run one letter at a time and I am sure it is timed as well.
Seems they are all spelling Puerto Rico, and I heard the announcer say 2 mintues.

One of the girls took the time to get each of the letters out of the pool and onto the grass, then she starting running them back and forth. Having a bit of a problem keeping up her pants as she runs back and forth.

So I think each person has to spell a Latin country, we have had Puerto Rico several times, then Venezuela, and Uruguay. Maybe it is a timed and length of word competition.

I think Jason was trying to spell Republican Dominica but he ran out of space and time

I think they had a four way tie, all the letters were collected from the board and thrown back into the pool. Then the announcer asked one of the guys to mix it up.
The people who collected the letters kind of put them together in the pool, LOL, thwarted again.

Catalina spelled Columbia. Melissa is up next and spelled Gran Hermano, I think.

Yajayra spelled Mexicanos. Last up is Rafael, it looked like he may have put some letters back into the pool where he could find them, so the announcer made him stir them all up, then he called someone else to come out and stir them up.

HE was spelling caparosa, but I think he ran out of time.
There seems to be some argument about the spelling, I recognized that they checked the dictionary.

Yajayra won whatever it was they were playing for and she has now been given a large headdress to wear.

Apparently it's for a "leader" position (like HOH)- She's immune for the week (so is Carolina- they have a "red phone" like BB Canada, and she answered it the first go round).
They're doing a painting task for the food budget- so looks like it's a hybrid of several versions (I wouldn't be shocked if the "leader" ggets a "killer nomination" where whoever they pick is nominated or is told who the nominees are at the end, and can take a nominee down- We'll find out tomorrow)
Here's someone who's covering this version as well as several others:
