Big Brother 8 (US)

[Matterbug]

It's that time of year again, folks!

That time when you spend your entire summer sitting in front of a screen watching people you would hate in real life exist in a tiny little house. That time when "But First" echoes through the air. That time when friends start hating each other because alliances like Chilltown exist.

Yes, Big Brother is back!

The season premiere is July 5 at 8 PM EST.

Already, a lot of info has been found out about the new season including the new house, the new cast, and two of the new twists! Click before for more info if you are okay with being spoiled!

The New House-

TV Guide has posted pictures and spoilers of the new house. The theme is a fairy tale one- mostly Alice in Wonderland. More info can be found at the TV Guide link-

The New Twists-

It was announced in various places that one twist this year is that some of the Houseguests will be living with their worst enemies.

And, in a nod to a past "Big Brother" theme in which players were surprised to find out that their ex-flames had been recruited, this year's cast will include a few pairs of players with unresolved beefs.

Another new twist is that there will be an "America's Player"

The biggest twist, however, is a game element called "America's Player." In a nutshell, that contestant will have the chance to win extra sums of money-- but only if they carry out certain actions mandated by viewers via internet or text message voting. Chosen player might be asked to vote somebody out of the house or something more personal, such as flirting with another player. Eye is hoping the twist will give viewers more of a stake in the outcome of the game, in the same way auds who watch "American Idol" get to shape that competition.

I couldn't be more excited for this season to start! I am for the first time ever getting the live feeds, and I'm sure I'll be watching those like mad!

Please remember that any spoilers you post from the news or the feeds (or if you are replying to someone else's spoiler) MUST be in spoiler tags. Also please put a note what the spoiler is about, as people may be okay with seeing some spoilers but not others.

Discuss away Big Brother fans!

I am so excited! I had found out about the cast yesterday, and the House a while back and I'm STILL SO EXCITED. Ah!

And Julie messed up in the video, fire her!

[Regan]

Gah. I've been waiting for the new season to be announced. I am sooooo excited. I'm torn between reading the spoilers or not. Must.. use.. will power.

Wheee it's on tonight!

[Ammer]

Joe must go.

Now.

[Regan]

Joe must go.

Now.

I completely agree. I'm on Team Dustin, hah.

[Ammer]

Joe must go.

Team Dustin!

Because we're clean!

(I hope people get the reference)

(I hope people get the reference)

Same here. Team Dustin.

Jenn also annoyed the heck out of me in the ten or twenty seconds that she used to describe herself.

[Moogum]

I'm all about the Mrs. Robinson Alliance. They seem genuine, she picked a fair way to nominate (usually they just say "nothing personal" or "you've not blended into the group" which is always a stupid excuse).

And yeah, Joe Must Go. And smurf, he's not entertaining and that is just cruel...

[Regan]

I'm all about the Mrs. Robinson Alliance. They seem genuine, she picked a fair way to nominate (usually they just say "nothing personal" or "you've not blended into the group" which is always a stupid excuse).

She said "in the spirit of fairness." That doesn't even make any sense!

It's not that I completely disagree with her nominations (though I would have preferred Joe and Jenn), but she came up with a pretty lame reason. Well, it was alright until she chose to use Dustin's and smurf's and Jessica's reason for choosing her as HoH as her scapegoat. In the spirit of fairness? Yeah right!

I guess I should put this in a spoiler for those who haven't seen it yet. Don't want you to know that Jenn and Joe weren't nominated!

I'm not sure of what to think of this Mrs. Robinson thing. I haven't seen really anything of Mike, Nick, or Zach. I'll have to see how it goes first.

My early picks:
Dustin
Evil D
Danielle
Amber
Eric

What do you guys think so far?

[Ammer]

Pfft, Kail is a really good strategy player, but she is a really ignorant person. If you've judged her by the comments she's made so far. Pathetic.

In other words, Jameka rocks, Dustin rocks and Joe sucks even more.

Kill Joe.

[Matterbug]

Jameka is by far my favorite (although some of the strong evangalizing she does on the feeds I'm not a big fan of). I also like Danielle (I don't know why!) and Dustin. Mike has suprised me a lot in the type of role he's taking on as like the ladies man and stuff.

Joe is super annoying. Jessica is annoying but rarely ever seen anyway.

I haven't seen Jameka do a lot of things related to religion on the feeds. Do you mean Kail?

[Regan]

You guys and your crazy feeds. I'm enjoying BB8 the old school way, therefore I haven't seen much of half the players.

[WIS]

I want Jen gone even before Joe. She bugs me the most out of all of the houseguests. I bet the photographer hates her as well.

Now, I haven't seen anything extra of BB other than the show itself. So far, from what I've seen, I like Dustin, and I like Danielle and Evil D. I would really like to see how their father-daughter alliance progresses.

In my opinion, Kail is very smart, especially in affiliating herself with Zach, Nick and Mike. And she's right, nobody would think that she is in an alliance with them. I feel rather bad for Amber, though. Kail is also way too pretty to have had four children. How does she do it?

I especially liked the part during the food competition where Jessica stated that her team had a lot of big men. Then the camera showed pictures of Nick, Zach and Joe. Then, she said "... and Eric" and an image of Eric was shown. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it was hilarious!

No Jameka. There's been times when she's with Carol and keeps talking about how people in the house need to be changed and stuff. They actually had this big conversation with smurf where they were really rude about it.

As long as it's not a habit, I still love her.

Ha, I loved that part! XDD
