Wow, is it just me or do Mike, Nick, Zach and Dick (say that ten times fast) all look similar? ...Zack and Nick almost look like they could be father and son! Weird. And what's with all the attractive girls and only one attractive and semi-attractive guy? I'm disappointed. :disappointed:

Hey, BuxomB! I smell another reward question...who is "America's player"? Hopefully they won't tell us right away cuz I think it would be more interesting to try and figure it out.

Big Brother Is Racier and More Interactive Than Ever!

by Angel Cohn

The Big Brother house gets an extreme makeover.

In just one week, the summer staple Big Brother is returning for its eighth season, and it promises to be bigger and better than ever before. The house is getting an extreme makeover, featuring some "fractured fairy tale" elements reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. "We've got a bedroom where you feel very big and a bedroom where you feel very small!" says executive producer Allison Grodner. "There is a room that has five beds, but essentially you are living in a dollhouse because all of the beds are only 5 feet long and all the chairs are child-size and low to the ground. So our 6-foot-plus contestants

Possible Enemy Pair Discovered

Some observant posters on the forums found a possible connection between Daniele and Dick. On Dick's MySpace he writes:

"I haven't been a great dad. My daughter hasn't spoken to me for about a quarter of her life. Part her fault, part mine... but, yes... I am the adult, well now we both are, but point is made. We have, or she has always had a love hate relationship with me. I think she gets me, but she doesn't. Is that her fault? I am fucked up, how is she supposed to get that? How is she supposed to understand that? She has been an adolescent teenage girl, she is now 20, how am I supposed to get that?"

Daniele is 20 years old. These pictures show the two of them together.

Wow, great find! Yep, most definitely one of the enemy match-ups...and most likely an alliance eventually as well. I can see Dick "falling in front of the train" in the game for Danielle. Why, oh why, can't we have total strangers?

Nice!! I like the estranged Father/Daughter relationship not so much enemies but still i like it... Now we just have to wait and see if Joe and Dustin have some sort of gay feud going... or if they'll just start a game of slap and tickle!

oh come on.. father/daughter ...... enemies?

she might hate her father for whatever reasons.. but do you really think she would go on a show and play a game against her own father? i dont know.. i just dont like that idea. how is she suppose to feel free to do things in that house knowing her father (however screwed up he is) is there watching? and vice versa.

uggggg... i could see siblings in the house before a parent/child. i dont like it.

but i have to root for Dick because he is oldER... i am rooting for the 2 oldest people in the house right now.

DreamAngel,

There is yahoo group that I have been in for several years. She had applied and couple of weeks she told us she got a call back. She was just keeping her fingers crossed. I believe I even quoted Jen in one of the rumor forum that she was not asked anything about enemies and neither was the people around her. She has not been on for several days so.. now I know why. She is a pretty neat young lady that has been in the group for several years also.

Another pair confirmed!?!

"Carol and Jessica originate from the same hometown. According to a page of Carol dedicated to her dancing (http://kuathletics.cstv.com/sports/c-spiri...ey_carol00.html) she is from Haysville, KS, the same town Jessica is from. Additionally, both have a dancing backround (Jessica was a Witicha Wild Football dancer) so there might be a strong connection between the girls" - Benred

Press Release: CBS REVEALS THE IDENTITIES OF THE 14 NEW HOUSEGUESTS COMPETING IN "BIG BROTHER 8"

Eighth Installment Premieres Thursday, July 5th

Julie Chen Returns As Host

All New "Big Brother 8" Creative Twist Revealed

New Interactive Twist That Will Give Viewers The Most Control They've Ever Had

In The Big Brother House Revealed

CBS announced today the identities of the 14 Houseguests who will compete in BIG BROTHER 8, as well as the new creative twist that will play out during the summer broadcasts.

As always, BIG BROTHER Houseguests should expect the unexpected. This season's twist will shock and most likely change the way some houseguests would have played the game had certain people not walked through the door.

On premiere night, Thursday, July 5 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Houseguests will learn that some of them will be sharing the house with an enemy, a rival or someone with whom they have unfinished business -- in short, someone from their past who they had hoped never to see again or someone with whom there is an extreme amount of tension.

In addition to the surprise twist of an unwelcome person from their past, the premiere episode will reveal a new interactive element that will give viewers the most control they've ever had over someone in the BIG BROTHER house. For the first time...America is in the house.

One participant has been selected to be "America's Player." At the conclusion of every episode, beginning Sunday, July 8 (8:00-9:00 ET/PT), a question will be asked of viewers where they will vote on an important assignment that "America's Player" must complete. It could be a strategic move or a personal action. They must attempt to do what viewers request, including voting out a specific Houseguest. And, they can never tell anyone in the house that they are working on behalf of the viewers. But, they need to be careful...just like their fellow Houseguests, they can be voted out at any time. If "America's Player" successfully accomplishes these assignments, they will be financially rewarded.Viewers will be able to vote on cbs.com or via text messaging on a mobile phone and will choose from multiple choice answers on each question. The prevailing vote must be completed by "America's Player" in order for him or her to be rewarded.

BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the Houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining Houseguest will receive the grand prize of $500,000.

BIG BROTHER 8 debuts Thursday, July 5 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Following the premiere, BIG BROTHER 8 will be broadcast three nights weekly, on Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) and the live eviction show, hosted by Julie Chen, on Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM live ET/delayed PT).
