Big Brother Craze

Be sure to check out the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the morning, too! Eric, Jessica and Dustin will be there, and around 9:20 am (EST) they’ll be interviewed by the one, the only, Neil Patrick Harris! (If you live under a rock - NPH was Doogie Howser, and currently starts on How I Met Your Mother.)

Erick, Jessica and Dustin will be sitting in the VIP section to enjoy the parade. I’ll be on the lookout for clips of their interview (so someone, capture and upload, huh?) and will share it if I find it.

Don’t miss it! And from Big Brother Craze - have a wonderful holiday! Be safe out there!

Edited to add:
For those of you popping by and searching for the youtube of the event - here ya go!

..watching tonight’s Survivor: China, and what to my wandering eyes should appear? No, not Santa, but a gift none the less! With all the rumors, and the talks, and the strike, and the steadfast refusal of CBS to confirm or deny, and the slip of Robin Kass, Casting director on her Myspace… THIS is the one thing that made me go “ohhhh you know, maybe it’s really TRUE!”

What was it? A commercial asking for applications for Big Brother 9! In my experience, those only show up a couple months before the premiere of a new season – especially when in conjunction with fired up Casting Calls across the country!

With the latest press release, it also confirmed that Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan would again be at the reigns as Executive Producers, and our favorite Chen-bot would return as host. I do hope they have enough time to program her correctly!

Also announced, to my delight, is that Big Brother 9 “will follow a group of strangers” – which means no celebrity edition! So here’s hoping that all this is indeed pointing to an early run of our favorite addiction! Here is the latest list of casting calls:

What do you need to bring? Your application, filled out, and your winning personality. Good luck!

So – in light of all of that? Dig the new banner, kids. When I know more for sure, you’ll know too!

Here it is, at long last! We all know how busy our America’s Player has been since leaving the house, with all the interviews and making appearances with Jessica all over the place, winning giant martini glasses, and such - so it’s no surprise that he took a little longer then planned to get back to me. However - as we saw all summer long, Eric is a man of his word, and as such as answered all my questions in depth and personally.

No wonder we love him! So here you go, the Summer of BB8, in Eric’s own words (as led - er, questioned - by me, of course!) Enjoy!

BBC: As a ridiculously knowledgeable Big Brother Fan, what was your original strategy before finding out about the America’s Player twist?

Eric: Actually, I was still able to execute many of the basic strategy points that I planned to implement.

A) Wait as long as possible to make an alliance
B) Use the first 2 weeks to protect myself with the HoH while working hard/playing hard/being non-threatening
C) Forging relationships with as many other houseguests as humanly possible (allowing me options later on, as the game is ever-shifting)
D) Come across as a jokester & not a physical threat, so that people wouldn’t see me coming when I made my moves later in the game
E) Always be a part of the majority (as well as the majority within that majority). I consider it a sliding scale of alliances. Be a part of the group in control of the house (ie the LNC’s original 7), but within that group have the majority of 4-5 people, and within that 4-5 have a three, and within that 3 have a two (for example within the original 7 there was the 5 of us that were closer, then me/jess/jameka, then me/jess…obviously this shifted midway through the game)
F) Don’t be afraid to make a big move that shakes up the game

BBC: How did they present the option to you - did you think even for a second of turning AP down? Was Samantha, who we saw in previews but never entered the house, your replacement if you had said no? (SOMEONE has to know who this girl was! I’m betting on you…)

Eric: First of all, absolutely no clue who Samantha is/was, haha. (BBC: DANG IT! Who WAS this girl?!) I found out about the twist roughly 3 days before the show began. I did indeed go through the complete casting process just like everyone else…trust me, this was a bigger shock to me than anyone! The executive producers brought a packet of info to my hotel room and asked me to look it over. I never considered turning it down for a second…I was thrilled and honored to be selected for the show and was ready to fill whatever role they had in mind for me.

BBC: How much of the show have you been able to catch up on? Network, Feeds (via YouTube or refeeds), BBAD, the gazillion of Tribute videos for both you and Jessica?

Eric: I’ve made it through about 2/3 of the episodes so far. Honestly, once you’ve lived it - it’s a tad anticlimatic to watch. Naturally I’ve always loved the show, so that’s not the problem. It’s just that watching 3 hours a week can never compare to living all of the drama 24-7. Jessica & I both love the tributes. They really are a ton of fun to watch - it’s a great reminder of how much fun and happiness we truly shared in the house. It’s our own version of a scrapbook of memories!

BBC: Many houseguests of all seasons think they aren’t shown as they really are on the network shows - how do you feel CBS portrayed you? The other houseguests?

Eric: I think the portrayal was accurate, but not nearly as dimensional as it could have been. For me, so much of what was shown was related to AP that I don’t think people got to see some of the other sides of me on CBS (sense of humor, passion for the show, knowledge/strategic value).

You know everyone is talking about it, everyone is hoping, everyone is speculating – will there or will there not be a Big Brother 9 as early as February? Will it be a normal one, or a celebrity bitch fest? WHEN WILL THEY TELL US?

Well – It seems there’s a bit of a scoop posted over on Zach’s blog by his friend Mike – you’ll have to take it for what it is (hearsay!) but perhaps he’s not messing with us… MAYBE IT’S TRUE and oh my goodness how cool would THAT be?

Big Brother 9 Confirmed
By Sysop
November 9, 2007

In a conversation today with Robyn Kass of Kassting Inc the primary casting agency for Big Brother, it was confirmed that Big Brother will commence in February.

They are very busy at casting the show as I write this and Robyn asked me to pass on the word to get your applications in or contact her at her website, http://kasstinginc.com/ .

I asked Robyn during our conversation if the Big Brother rumors were speculation or was there a basis in fact? Robyn replied “We are casting with the thought in mind that the house guests would move into the house during the first week of February.

I can not quote on the following, but my feelings are it will be a normal Big Brother, not a Celebrity Big Brother and it is a strong possiblility that the summer Big Brother will also take place.
Mike

Ooooooooh just the thought makes me giddy, how about you?! Soon as I hear more, I’ll post more!

And no, this time I’m not talking ‘bout sex (baby, let’s talk about you AND me… er. Uh. Sc’use me.) but rather about the Hollywood Writer’s strike that’s due to start tomorrowish. What’s that got to do with Big Brother? Well! Two little sentences in a recent article by Variety TV, posted on November 2nd, has people in an uproar.

The article talks about the fall launch of Network TV and how it’s not really been the high note that the big networks expected it to be, and many of the head honcho’s are worried about what the strike will mean to Network TV.

“It’s been an abysmal season,” says one entertainment president. “What ultimately worries me about a strike is, are we hastening the narrowing of network TV? If we have to put up a sign that says ‘gone fishing,’ luring viewers back is going to be even more difficult.”

Sunday night, CBS showed that they’d already gone to their best bench players, and started Amazing Race – the Emmy winning race around the world. While it’s not been a complete disaster, the season may have been disappointing enough to have some execs looking for a ‘mid-season do-over’.

For CBS, our favorite network here at Big Brother Craze for obvious reasons, They’ve had some solid hits, and a few ok’s, and they’re pretty content with the numbers so far, but they do have midseason plans. There’s 48 hours mystery shows plus game shows and such waiting in the wings. In January they’ll have to fill various time slots, Kid Nation, and for a few weeks, Survivor while we’re between seasons. The contingency plan is what the Big Brother Fans in a buzz – two little lines:

Then there’s “Big Brother.” Summer staple could easily return as soon as March — maybe even with a long-rumored celebrity edition.

While the thought of a celebrity edition makes me want to throw up a little – depending on the definition of ‘celebrity’ and all – the thought of an additional run of Big Brother as soon as March? THIS makes me GIDDY and all kinds of tingly and happy!

Now it does continue to say that launching a new comedy night might be easier – but we can always hope, right?!

Advice for Applying for BB9!
So, you think you have what it takes to be locked in a house with strangers to strategize your way to winning $100k? Great! Little confused about the whole application, or want that all important insider information? Well, the folks over at Reality Wanted totally have your back! They posted an interview with BB Casting Director, Robyn Kass yesterday, getting all the scoop on what they’re looking for and what NOT to do while applying.

Boogie arrested!
Reports say that Mike ‘Boogie’ Malin was arrested in Denver at a sports bar after getting into an altercation with a woman! Apparently the big bone of contention? The fact that he was wearing his Boston Red Sox jersey, while the Rockies lost the World Series in a 4 game sweep. There’s little to be found in the way of further details, just that he was celebrating the win, and spent 15 hours in jail before making bail, for “Allegedly assaulting a waitress at a local sports bar.” His PR group says they’re working with the legal team to handle the ‘misunderstanding’.

Are the Dastardly Donatos still talking?
According to their postings on MySpace, Evel Dick and Daniele Donato are still on good terms, and on October 31st, hopped a flight to Europe, headed to celebrate their win in Dublin with some of ED’s friends. A last minute decision, they both said that’s the way they prefer to travel, and that things are going well with them. They text often, talk often and get together for the occasional meal and random flight overseas. Guess being locked up together for months and winning $550k goes a long way toward mending relationships!

Surprises
Yup. Still coming. At this point I’ll be just as surprised as you when they occur….

So, that surprise. Yeah, I’m still waiting - times two, and soon to be times three! It’s like people have discovered lives outside of the Big Brother House… odd that. (grins)

However, while we’re waiting - everyone who stops by knows that I am a huge Jessica and Eric fan, and like everyone else, I’d be thrilled to see more of them in any way possible. Some of their fans have launched a campaign that aims to get Jeric on the next season of The Amazing Race and have asked for me to let you know where to get more information!

Here’s the announcement Alexis sent my way:

Would you like to see Big Brother 8’s Jessica and Eric compete on The Amazing Race? Join the fan campaign to get them cast on the show! Fans are flooding CBS with letters and woobies to show our support for Team Jeric. To get involved, please visit the fan campaign website at http://loripadillaphotography.typepad.com/teamjeric/ for information, updates, funny promo videos, and exclusive pictures of Team Jeric with Woobie in New York and Kansas.

Also, here is the campaign video to inspire you.

If you support getting Jessica and Eric cast on The Amazing Race, please help us spread the word! This campaign is being conducted entirely by fans like you, and we need everyone’s help to make it a success.

Thanks,

Alexis and Jim

So, while I was sitting here in my friend E’s house, she says “Hey! Did you know the studio house that houses the Big Brother House is right down the street?” And I went …um. NO!… and she was all “wanna go see? It’s just a building, but well, you can see it…” and I said um… YES! Would I be a total fan girl if I bypassed this opportunity? Exactly my point.

And naturally, she stopped in the no parking tow away zone so I could get as close as possible to click a picture JUST so that I could share it with you. She’s most awesome, E!

Gotta love Hollywood! (grin)

(yes! I’m still waiting on that surprise! ASAP I swear!)

Hey guys - I’m still waiting on the surprise. I haven’t forgotten, and I have gotten an email saying it is still in the works! As soon as I get it, I’ll get it to you, I promise! I thought I’d have it before now, but life, life gets in the way sometimes…

However! I am taking my laptop on VACATION with me when I leave today, primarily so that when I get that surprise, you will get it right away! No kidding - I’ll be checking every chance I get, (often, as I’m staying with other computer/internet savvy folks!) and get it to you ASAP!

Hang in there, kids! It’s coming, I swear!

Lessa
off to soak in some California sunshine…

The Reality TV Awards show was every bit the train wreck it promised to be, as it tried very hard to be a REALLY REAL BIG AWARDS SHOW, with scripted jokes, and musical interludes, and mismatched pairs presenting. It was also loud, unorganized, filled with amusing award categories, and filled with Reality TV z-listed stars.

In other words - it was awesome.

Here’s a list of who presented what and who won for the entire 2 hour extravaganza, plus my comments, of course!

First up! Evel Dick from Big Brother 8 & Bridget Marquardt from The Girls Next Door present the award for Favorite Showmance. It was a tie between Eric and Jessica, and Dr. Will Kirby and Mike Boogie. For Dr. 90210. For the episode where Dr. Will removed a wart from Mike’s lil boogie. How that equates to a showmance, I’ll never know…

I was eternally amused that Evel Dick had to present that award, giving it to team Jeric, who he didn’t think had a relationship at all, over his own daughter and Nick. Nick made some snide comment about theirs not being a showmance so it was ok for them not to win. Course, Jessica and Eric fans know they aren’t showmancing either, so whatever. Jessica’s delight over the giant martini glass was too cute for words!

Just how much DOES Janice Dikckenson imbibe? She looked three sheets to the wind as she and Sanjaya presented the Favorite Fight award. The Charm School girls beat out Evel Dick and Jen for this one.

Like there was ANY doubt who would win the award presented by Scott Baio and Jason Hervey - Amber beat out Jen, and even that 12 year old crier who adores Sanjaya and walked away with the Favorite Tears award. Amazingly, she didn’t cry while giving her short acceptance speech.

Chill Town’s Mike and Dr. Will gave out the Favorite Winner award, and not to Evel Dick, but to Rock from Hell’s Kitchen.

Favorite Non-Competition Program went to Scott Baio is 45 and Single. The teenagers watching with me were all “who the heck is Scott Baio??” and I died a little inside. Poor youth of today - they don’t know that Charles was once in Charge! SIGH. Course, I’ve never seen the show. Charles isn’t in charge of my TV watching anymore.

Favorite Altered State went to Frank from the Real World Reunited. The Real World is still on? Remember when that was THE show to watch? What is it, season 33910293743 now? What can they possibly do next to make it fresh? The Real World: On the Moon? Anyway, moving on…

Another unsurprising victory for the Big Brother gang - Mary Murphy and Benji Schwimmer presented Evel Dick with the Favorite Villain award, where he mentioned for the 8000th time that it clearly pays to be an asshole. He did give props to the rest of the houseguests though - for giving him so much material to work with. Haha!

Jen got beat out for Favorite Hottie by Bridget from The Girls Next Door. That had to smart! I’ll bet it’s because her picture was so horrible! And she lost best tears too! Awwww…. of course, I think Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser should have won it, hands down!

Another surprise was that Evel Dick did NOT get Favorite Potty Mouth! I thought sure this one had his name written all over it. Instead, Adrianne Curry from My Fair Brady got it. Yet another show I’ve not seen. Maybe I don’t have the obsession for childhood stars like other folks? Or simply not enough MTV or VH1 in my life? I don’t know. Whoever she is for whatever show, she rocked the cursing in her acceptance speech too.

Jen joined Ant to present the Baddest Bitch award, and kudos to the writers for getting Jen to go against her non-cussing ways and repeatedly say “Bitch” as they gave the award to Pumkin from Charm School. (…Pumkin? Really? Is that her real name, or a chosen one? She likes to be called Pumkin? Oy.)

Our own favorite Loser, Marcellas Reynolds joined Heather from the Rock of Love, to give out the Favorite Loser award to - of course - Sanjaya. It totally should have gone to Yau Man for Survivor. He got robbed! Again!

Mary Murphy won Favorite Judge/Host for So you think you can Dance, before Eric and Brigitte gave out the Favorite Reality Show award. To American Idol. Come on, seriously? Screeching singers beat out Survivor AND Big Brother? Oh America. How I ponder your level of taste… in other news, Eric looked positively terrified up on stage with Brigitte Nielson, and who could blame him - she’s one scary looking female! And she was bantering about award-mance? RUN ERIC RUN!

Perez Hilton joined Daniele Donato on stage to present the Favorite Moment of Prayer to Jameka, who won over Amber, and the chick from Charm School praying in advance for forgiveness for a beat down about to happen. Well deserved, of course!

So You Think You Can Dance won Favorite Competition Program, beating out Big Brother and Survivor again. Harumph.

Then came the incident we’ve all heard about and seen via youtube since they filmed the award show last week. Jonny Fairplay, last year’s winner of Reality Performer of the Year, was to present the final award, and instead got into a scuffle with Bonaduce. Now, while Jonny can be an asshole, he’s never been anything other then polite and nice to me when we’ve talked, and I get him and his attitude. Danny Bonaduce is just a bitter asshole has been child star that no one cares about anymore.

After Jonny left the stage, Alexis Arquette stood in and presented the award to Evel Dick, the unsurprising winner of Reality Performer of the Year.

And there you have it! The D-list version of an awards show was everything I hoped it would be; a glorious train wreck! What did you think of it? Or of the infamous Jonny Bashing? Pop into the comments below and give us your opinion!

Me too! That’s why I was so glad she consented to do an interview with us here at Big Brother Craze! Enjoy! (FYI - the title is a reference to one of the Quarter’s rules by the houseguests. Live Feed watchers know what I mean!)

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us here at Big Brother Craze, Carol! While it sucks to be the first voted out, I think you have some valuable insight on the other houseguests that we might not have thought of! So let’s get to it!

BBC: As a recruit to be on the show as part of the Enemies Twist, what went through your mind when you were contacted to be on the show? Did you have any idea what you were getting yourself into?

Carol: I had no idea what I was getting myself into, I initially thought it would be a lot of fun and that it was an opportunity that I could not pass up

BBC: What kind of strategy did you enter the house with, and would you do differently if you had the chance?

Carol: I had no strategy when I entered the house and yes I would do things completely different now.

BBC: How surprised were you to see Jessica walk down those stairs? How did you feel you’re rivalry compared to the others of the house?

Carol: I was shocked that she was there, at the time I thought our rivalry was a big joke in comparison to the others

BBC: After leaving the house the first week, how much of the show did you watch? Did you watch BBAD or the feeds?

Carol: I think I might have missed 1 or 2 episodes and I never watched the bbad

BBC: One thing almost all houseguests have in common, is that they think they aren’t portrayed correctly on the network shows. How do you feel CBS portrayed you?

Carol: I was not there long enough to be portrayed a certain way. possibly just as the naive recruit who did not want to be there in the first place

BBC: Do you think they portrayed the other houseguests fairly?

Carol: yeah for the most part, they emphasized the bad side of everyone and showed very little of the good qualities of the other house guests

Do you realize that as of tomorrow, it will have been two whole weeks since we’ve gotten to peek in on the Big Brother Houseguests and laugh at our little hamsters scurrying about the House? Two whole weeks! However are we going to survive until BB9? Which is, by my calculation, an astonishing 276 days away. Oy. (What, you’re not counting down? Why ever not!)

Well, for those of us who can’t let go of the most dynamic season yet - there are many pieces of Big Brother 8 out there for the taking. Or rather, bidding on, hopefully winning, THEN taking. The most recent additions to the Ebay Frenzy - Eric, Jessica and Daniele! Here’s the links to the most recent auction pages:

Eric
Daniele
Nick
Jen

And of course, Chicken George, who worked the Finale for autographs!

Though, I have to say? $3000 for a shirt signed by Nick? Do me a favor, and instead of bidding there, go over here instead. 100% of the proceeds of these auctions go to help a beautiful little girl named Bekah who has been stricken with brain cancer. Bekah is Jedi Howie’s girlfriend’s GodDaughter.

Want a Booyah shirt? Grab one here, and the profits go to the Melissa Tweedy Lung Transplant fund!

Now those are my kind of auctions!

In other news, keep checking back, as I’m working on a few other surprises for my faithful readers! Hopefully the next one will be ready by the end of this week. Stay tuned!
