Jem Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Posted: Tue., Apr. 11, 2006, 8:30pm PT Eye casts 'Brother' with help from aud Viewers will get the chance to help select players By JOSEF ADALIAN CBS is planning an all-star edition of summer hit "Big Brother," but with a twist: Viewers will help cast the show. Details are still being hammered out, but the current plan calls for CBS and the producers to select a pool of 20 past "Big Brother" players. Viewers will then get the chance to help select which of those 20 get to move into the "Big Brother" house in Studio City. It's the first time any of the various international "Big Brother" formats has allowed audience members to participate in the casting process. There's been buzz about an all-star "Big Brother" for a while now (Daily Variety, Oct. 12). Exec producer Allison Grodner said that 12 or 14 players will ultimately move into the house, depending on how the public votes. She and CBS are staying mum over just how the voting will be conducted, but it's expected producers will retain the right to cast some slots with past players who aren't aud favorites. There's no word on a premiere date yet, but if history is any guide, skein will premiere the week of July 3 -- most likely on Thursday, July 6. Picking the cast isn't the only way auds will participate in "Brother" this season. "This will be the most interactive 'Big Brother' yet," Grodner told Daily Variety. "Viewers will be getting involved more than in the past." Players will still decide who gets booted from the house and who wins the $500,000 grand prize. Julie Chen returns as host. Producers are planning a number of other twists for the seventh season. Grodner, Arnold Shapiro and Rich Meehan are the exec producers of "Big Brother: All-Stars" in association with Endemol USA. Date in print: Wed., Apr. 12, 2006, Los Angeles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smoore360 Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 As long as she was the first one booted. Her being humiliated would be the only thing worth her being picked. If I had to watch another whole season with her on there it would make me so mad, I would never watch BB again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterican Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 nobody from bb4 or bb5 should come back. except for maybe alison. i'd be happy if they just brought back the whole cast from bb3. that was by far the best season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Then WHAT was the point of ALL of us applying in the first place??? The work & conviction that the application process takes is huge! We don't want to see "pre-stratagizing" past guests in the house!!!! Pick me!!!! BB7DADDY maybe the fact that you have applied for every season, and have not gotten in, is a sign you should stop applying... just saying... id rather be on the amazing race than BB, even though id love to, AR would be more fun cause you can be conniving and fun like Rob and Amber, but still get to travel with someone you know. My brother and I are considering applying for # 11. -- as for BB7. I would want Janey and Kaysar in there, most definitely. They are the reason I got into Big Brother, never really liked the show until the Alliance vs the Nerd Herd. I could NOT stand any of them. I would love to see Janey on it especially because she knows all the BB history so she would know who to ally with and who to hate. Everyone's kind of mad about the fact that they all know each other or know things about each other, but did you ever think that could make for even better dynamic? Think about it, if you have all these preconceived notions about someone, then they do something that is completely out of "character," it can totally shock you. I just think the fact that they THINK they know all the other players could make for some very good tv. Like the people they hated on the show could become their best friends, or people they loved on the show could be their worst enemies. I can't wait for it.
