Rachel mentoring: "At this point in the game, it will seem like you're about to be kicked off, but Pandora's Box will save you, because you're with me. Also, pretzels are your friends."

Ha! Omg I had forgotten about that fiasco.. wow.

So far so good, the house is very nice!! I just hope the cast selection won't be a fail.

The house is really cute this year... Just saw the pics from media day..

OMG are the rumors true??

Past HGs and contestants from other shows on CBS for the Cast this summer?

So these new hamsters should already be in sequester now right? and be in the house between friday(7/6) and sunday(7/8) of next week right?

don't they enter the house a couple of days prior to the Premiere? so when is GMA going to do introductions?

I just realized what date it was..

1. Do not win the first 3 HOH's if possible or POV's, this will be the time when the overconfident, know it all, muscle heads will try to dominant the game, get on their good side, they will keep you safe and backstab them the first chance you get.

2. Secretly align with one other HG of the opposite sex, go with your gut on this! that way you can meet in secret in the mornings when the other are asleep to exchange info and compare notes and to add to this avoid a showmance at all costs becoming house targets is very stressful, your wellbeing comes first!

3. as a Trust test tell the one other person you are "aligned with" something you won't tell anyone else in the house to see if it gets back to you.

4. research a 15-17 letter word before entering house and memorize its correct spelling!

5. Listen as much as possible, people will want to tell their entire life story, let them. gather as much info as you can on their personal lives and say very little about yours, if possible tell the very same story to everyone and leave as much truth out as you can.. you want to seem like part of the "house", but not really.

6. Do not, I repeat DO NOT open Pandora's Box. Jesse may be inside.

7. week 4- time to win a POV, because tensions are high in the house after that HOH endurance challenge and people are on edge, time to secure your safety just in case the HOH is a nutcase and wants to "pawn" you.

8. fail successfully at the next HOH comp even if you are winning it, we want the other HGs to think that POV win from the week prior was just a fluke.

9. win an HOH week 6 if it is skill, skill is based on chance.. the other HGs wouldn't deem you a great threat because that challenge could have been anyone's game.

10. you have now won an HOH and you have to put 2 people up. put the 2 people that the other HGs like the most, chances are they wont be really playing the game because they're depending on their house popularity to get them to the end, they are most likely not winning much so for you they are not a Threat. under such pressure people's true colors start to show and this will be the true test to see how likeable they remain to the others. oh no need to worry about POV, someone other that the 2 nominated will win and neither will be saved.

11. be atleast the third one to fall off the next endurance challenge, we are getting pretty close to the end and again the longer you stay up there the higher the probability you will get nominated that week if you dont win and besides you must conserve your energy for the 3 part HOH challenge.

12. Do not initiate a final 2 conversation with anyone! not even your 1 alliance member, if you know who you want to take to f2, DO NOT TELL THEM. When all the planets have aligned and your genius plan has panned out then you make your decision live on national TV when asked by Julie.

13. have your "vote for me" speech ready beforehand, apologise if someone is hurt by your backstabbing and own up to it. you are at F2 now its time to basically tell all the dirt, you dont necessarily have to explain why you did it just own up to it and do not fight with the people who are obviously bitter they got voted out, remember you need them to vote in your favor, "I'm sorry" is worth a half million dollars.

the rumor i heard was colton was going to be on survivor again this next season so if he is doing that how can he do bb ?

Evel Dick said on twitter that Colton has already finished his second Survivor and just got back, so there is no way he would agree to immediately doing BB.. I thought "just got back" so that means he didn't win (and he got voted off before jury) unless they have already wrapped shooting for the new season? If so, why not go on another reality show if you had the oppurtunity, I mean if the money is good and you have the summer to waste. I would.

I think the video has some really good twists for an exciting season but having any truth to it, nahhh.. I would be surprised if even one of those twists are legit, but we never know...

and that picture with Julie wouldn't it be cool if those tiny squares she is standing in front of flipped to another picture.. what room is that?? the bathroom. anyone know?

That's kind of a boring compromise though - basically a second immunity challenge which doesn't affect anyone other than the person who wins it.

How about rather than the Veto they have some kind of challenge that affects the voting - so the original nominees will stand, but either all HGs have to compete for their right to vote (with a maximum of 7 votes in early stages, then 5 and then perhaps even making it one vote in the later stages) - or simplifying it a bit just have one vote nullified every week rather than a nomination vetoed - so basically whoever wins the new Veto is obliged to nullify a vote of another voting houseguest. They would only confirm their decision after all the HGs have voted.

Of course it affects everyone else, isn't the point of this game to play to stay and win the money.. So why not secure your safety before you are even considered for nomination? New and old Hg's are a little to comfy with the veto.. We have heard it plenty times before "well at least we have the veto" we need a season where everyone competes for this money, not just a handful that eventually get voted off by the lazy ones.. Seriously do you really think Enzo, Jordan, Ollie and many other poor players deserved to stay as long as they did? Hell, Jordan won her 1st season and she did zilch to earn it, and to take it a step further as a spin off of your vote idea let them start announcing their vote right in the living room, at this point after all these years,voting in the DR is getting old.. Let them stand up and say who they want out, it would also be fun if they pointed at the person too.

If any of this is true, I'm looking forward to the new season.

Golden Key Comps instead of POV comps. I like the Golden key idea but let them compete for it. The key should only keep a person safe for the next eviction. I love Daniele but her being safe for 4 weeks last summer was ridiculous. The Golden Key comps should be played either before or after HOH comps and definately before noms are made. The idea is to avoid going on the block by winning the key instead of trying to save yourself with the POV. So if you don't win the key that week and you get nominated there are no more chances to stay in the house, one a yous has to go.

If they had no veto comps for the first 4 weeks would be 4 awesome surprises, IMO.

It would be drama from day one, we wouldnt have to wait for the pace to pick up, haha.

I don't think Production will fork out the $$$'s for a 2nd house.

And I won't even hazard a guess at what the 4 surprises could / would be. 4 ?? lol, they have

a hard enough time coming up with the yearly 'TWIST.

Hey... anyone remember when Julie usually gives us a pre-seson tour of the house?

It's got to be before the HG's start coming in.

I just hope the 4 surprises are NOT returning Hg's.

more Hg's this season? so they're either going to do the couples thing or split them into stupid little teams again. Great

Here is my earnest hope for this year's Big Brother: I hope Allison Grodner read a lot of the fan complaints about LAST season and that she takes them to heart. I hope she realizes that we saw right through her convenient "Pandora's box" twist which just happened to be the only way possible to save both Rachel and Jordan. I hope she realized how tired we are of having the houseguests able to predict ahead of time what the competition will be. And I hope she realizes how tiresome it is to have only people with aspirations to be professional entertainers.

Agreed, Agreed, Agreed.

Im going to say 6 until I see what antics are in store. If its the same ole, same ole. I will still support the show but will complain about it every chance I get.

I hope they don't bring anyone back, well unless its an Allstar season which I doubt it will be this summer. Be done with Pandora's Box never liked that idea, I do like the Golden Key idea somewhat. I would love for them to compete for the key, not whomever doesn't get evicted of the two that week gets it. If there will be 4 golden keys during this season, have each key be good for only 2 weeks of safety and have the "key' competitions on random weeks until all are gone. I say it every year I want these Hamsters to work hard to stay in the house. I am sooooo tired of seeing people slide by,do nothing and get PAID at the end of the summer. Do away with "pawning" people if you want to stay you have to play.

if she can keep her mouth shut and not let her diva flare up, she may be able to slide into week 3 unharmed.

I knew from his interview he would be on the block first week, he is irritating and should watch his episodes when he goes home and make some drastic changes in his life.
