Big Brother Craze

I think the best part of the season, of any Big Brother season, is the two weeks or so before the premiere. We’re all so giddy with anticipation that THIS season will be the BEST season. It’s that tingly feeling we get way deep inside that’s full of hope. We’re roaming the net, hoping for someone, anyone in the know to tell us what they know - even if it’s just so that we can begin the endless debate.

So what do we know? Here’s the compilation of all the rumors I’ve heard bantered around. Keep in mind that they are rumors, and we won’t know anything for sure until it happens, but some of the sources seem to be pretty reliable. However, if they turn out to be completely wrong, don’t shoot the messenger, eh?

1. 13 houseguests - source, the commercial. Could BB be lying to us? Absolutely.

2. Season Premiere July 13th - source, CBS.

3. Network broadcasts will follow BB9 structure, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday nights.

4. There will be a live audience for the live eviction shows on Wednesday nights, and our beloved Chenbot will host, as always.

5. As I reported before, a gentleman who said that he made it to the top 35 posted at jokers was given his ‘regrets’ call to say he didn’t make it, so we can assume that all the houseguests have been contacted and are en route to CA and sequester if they are not there already (We’ve also heard that they are there already… and It’s also been reported that one finalist has quit already, and another flown in to take their place.)

6. Each room is decorated as if it came from a different ere/decade - 60s, 70s, 80s. I mentioned that before as well, as it came from Crazy James. That fits with the speculation that…

7. We’ll have a wider array of ages then we’re used too - 20s, 30s 40s and even one guy in his 60s. (How cool would it be if it were 3 - 20 somethings, 3 - 30 somethings, 3 - 40 somethings, 3 - 50 somethings and that one 60s fellow being our number 13?)

8. Because of the odd number of houseguests, 13, there’s speculation that we’ll have other houseguests entering the house throughout the season - complete rumor, I’ve heard nothing to substantiate it.

9. None of the houseguests are from previous seasons, and I’ve heard it said a couple of places that none of them know each other, either. But we’ve heard that last part before, huh?

10. The Twist - it’s been held EXTREMELY close, and even the one fellow who posted anonymously over with my BB-blogging BFF, Carolyn at BBDish, even he would only toss out a tidbit for us to gnaw on. He said:

Alli Grodner was quoted on BB9 finale night as saying “you will love it” regarding the twist of BB10. I know that I can’t speak for all of you, but as a die-hard Big Brother fan, I can say with complete honesty that she was telling the truth. This twist has been held very close to the vest and as a result it’s too risky to leak it all (I know, I’m sorry!) but I can tell you this much: it twist involves mirrors and a “disappearing room.”

HOW cool does that sound? A disappearing room? Here’s hoping it’s something fantastically cool. This same person also said that the houseguests were already in sequester as of the past weekend, though he had heard no reason for it being so early. He assumes it is so more detailed promos can be filmed and ready to air.

11. Together again - just as I said to begin with, it means nothing other then Summer + Big Brother = Together again.

12. The houseguests are all “Opposites”. The Joker’s dude who got to top 35 said that each houseguest will have an opposite in the house as well. It will be some hot-button issue, like religion, hunters vs. PETA, politics, vegetarians, etc. This falls into line with the rumors during casting that members of PETA were being recruited.

And lucky number 13 (yes, I totally did that on purpose. *L*). We know that no matter what, how good or how bad it gets, that I’ll be here watching and reporting it all here at Big Brother Craze - and that’s one rumor that I can 100% confirm!
