The Big Brother Glossary
by Carrie Grosvenor
Yes, I’m reaching a bit for a topic today because there’s no new information to report so far. The powers that be at CBS are silent, which is understandable but oh so aggravating! Rather than reach back into past seasons and post a video clip, I thought I’d do up a little refresher on the acronyms and abbreviations that will most likely show up here during the season. This should give the spell checker a good workout! Here we go:
- BB – Big Brother (also refers to the voice that comes over the PA system in the house)
- BBT – Big Brother Time, which is PDT (Pacific Daylight Time)
- Chenbot – Julie Chen
- DOR – Drop on Request (this happens when a houseguests exercises their right to leave the house voluntarily, forfeiting any money they may have made while in the house)
- DR – Diary Room
- GPoV – Golden Power of Veto
- Hamsters – Houseguests
- HG(s) – Houseguest(s)
- HoH – Head of Household
- HoH Room – The bedroom belonging to the HoH
- LD - Lockdown (when the houseguests are locked either inside or outside the house while production sets up competitions or does other work)
- PoV – Power of Veto
Of course there will also be nicknames for the various hamsters on the show, but until we get a cast reveal and can see them in action, those will have to wait!
