Big Brother 8, What We Know So Far

by Carrie Grosvenor

The months and weeks leading up to a new Big Brother season are almost as much fun as the show itself. Trying to guess at what the theme will be, what the houseguests will have to eat, who the contestants are, and what new surprises are in store for us is like piecing together a mystery. There are always wild rumours that seem just crazy enough to be true, but rarely are. So, in the spirit of “take everything you hear with a grain of salt,” here is what I’ve been able to dig up so far.

The premiere date hasn’t been officially announced, but it’s assumed that July 5th is the big day. Julie Chen will return as host. Arnold Shapiro is no longer the Executive Producer - he is now an Executive Consultant. Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan are now the Executive Producers. Hopefully this means a bit of a shakeup is coming to the format of the show. This is where the stuff we know for sure ends, and the speculation and rumours begin.

Many sources are reporting that the casting process is complete and the short list of the houseguests and alternates have been chosen. There’s also rumoured to be another theme this season, and potential contestants had to “fit” this theme to be considered.

There was an ad posted at Craigslist a couple of weeks ago asking people over the age of 60 to apply for Big Brother, with a Yahoo! e-mail address given for those interested. I know that there are quite a few casting companies that do use web-based e-mail for processing applications, but there’s no way to know if this ad was legitimate or not.

And for now at least, that’s about it! If you have information to share, please leave a comment or hit me up through the “Contact” link.
