Allison Grodner talks to WLBB!

by Lessa

BB10_1.jpgFirst - a little BBC announcement. You’ve probably noticed that there’s been some server issues with us here at 451Press. I’m posting when I can as soon as I can, and we’ve been assured that the powers that be are working on the servers and have ordered all new equipment. We should be up and running smooth before the premiere - and as often as I can post before then, I will. If you can’t get through, or get high load warnings, please keep trying - it will work soon. Thanks!

Now, the good stuff!

That’s right - we’re all so eager for news, ANY news, and now we have a bit! We Love Big Brother spoke with Allison Grodner today and got some tidbits about the new season. The houseguests aren’t in the house yet, but Allison was watching it during the interview as cleaning crews put the finishing touches on it. Some things that are absolutely verified now:

There are 13 houseguests.
The houseguests are complete strangers.
The houseguests are diverse in backgrounds, points of view and ages.

According to Grodner:

“We have a wide range of ages this year,” she said. “There’s young, there’s old, there’s in between, there’s parents, there’s students, there’s people with white collar jobs, blue collar jobs. It’s all very different. We’ve got a lot of very specific types of people in this house, and people who have very extreme points of view than maybe we’ve had in the past.”

She said the house will also reflect this diversity.
“This year [the house] reflects the cast in all the different places and eras they come from,” she said. “It’s a very different house, it’s not our winter house. This is a very different thing and it goes with the cast.”

She also confirmed the live audiences, though it will be different then the in Big Brother 1, and they worked hard to include successful elements from the show’s past. And then there’s the twist - which she wouldn’t reveal, but said it will play out from the very first day. Says Allison:

“The game starts before these people even enter the house,” she hinted. “Expect the unexpected. Expect a completely different Big Brother from what you’ve seen this past year.”

The houseguests will be arriving in town soon, and going through press interviews in the upcoming week. There will be twists and turns, of course, along the way.

You can listen to the interview in its entirety below:

Less then two weeks to go, ya’ll!
