The locked Room = Steel! (Updated!)
This just in! Associated Press just posted an article on Google, about the houseguests. Much of it are things we know already - but here’s the scoop on that Locked Room:
“This season, the California-themed “Big Brother” dwelling will go green with several eco-friendly touches including organic soap in the bathroom, energy-producing exercise bikes in the gym and composting bins in the backyard. Executive producer Allison Grodner teased that one of the three bedrooms, a jungle-themed enclave, will feature a nasty surprise.
“It is a room that will test their resolve,” Grodner said during a recent tour of the newest “Big Brother” house. “I will go out on a limb and say that it is the worst room to sleep in any `Big Brother.’ After 11 seasons, that’s saying a lot. This is a special treat for the houseguests. Each week, one group of houseguests will end up in this room.””
And you all thought the Pool Room would be bad!
UPDATE! Julie Chen (AND OMG BABYBOT BABYBUMP!) has her house tour up with the first glimpse of the “jungle room” which doesn’t look very jungle-y, but DOES look uncomfortable as hell, AND the Right hand shower has NO HOT WATER.
If your banished to the locked room, you’re also banished to using only the cold shower! BRRR!
And yay! someone put it up on youtube!
Confirmation - WLBB has just gotten off the phone with Allison - NOT jungle Themed, but as Julie shows it - beds of steel, etc. Ouch!
UPDATE: Here’s the interview with WLBB that they just finished!
.
The highlights:
Four groups of three
Not like season 9 soulmates where BB forced them together
This is still an individual game
Big Brother created a system where you want to be in the ‘in-crowd’
Each player wants the perks of being in the in-crowd
If one member of a clique wins Head of Household, other members of that clique cannot be nominated
Allison did not say a room had a ‘jungle theme’
Third bedroom is ‘one of the worst rooms in Big Brother history’
Instead of traditional Food Competitions, there are now ‘Have and Have Not’ competitions
Losers of the Have and Have Not competition are subject to worst living conditions in BB history
Have Nots subject to a cold room, cold showers, food restrictions, and bright lights that never turn off
No details regarding the 13th Mysterious Houseguest will be released until July 9th
Starting second week, viewers will decide the food restriction
The Have Nots will get slop in addition to America’s food restriction
The exercise bikes and lightbulbs might come into play later this summer

Screw that. If it’s a giant spider I’d be sleeping outside that week.

Dude, I’m so there with you! Only with me, it’s reptiles. I’d be OUTA THERE!

Okay, so steel isn’t much better. I wonder if they’ll be required to sleep in there because I’d just go to the couch or anywhere with carpet over steel.
Hmm, maybe I shouldn’t be putting ideas out there like that while Grodner still has time to write the rules!

[...] 3rd bedroom will be awful, like a prison, minus the sodomy (hopefully). [...]

*laughs* Well, usually, they’re not allowed to sleep at night unless it’s in a bed. They get yelled at often for dozing on the living room couches…

I just had a thought…
I was reading an earlier post which mentioned that Brian, Jessica and Sheila have all sorta dropped off the map. As I thought about those three names I was trying to piece together why they would be 3 potential people to go into the BB house based on the cliques. Here is what I got:
Brian could be a “Braniac,” he was pegged as being philosphical on BB10
Jessica could be a “Jock” she was athletic, dancing and cheering during her season (although she could possibly also be a “popular”)
Sheila could be an “Offbeat,” she is neurotic and certainly doesn’t fit the other cliques.
What I haven’t pieced together from the rumors is who would be the “popular” person. Is any past cast member missing that would fit the bill?
Any thoughts? Am I totally off the mark here?

I’m right there with ya, Amy! That’s what I thought as well, though I haven’t heard who the third person might be yet. A ton of “possibles” but Brian, Sheila and Jessica are the only names being bantered about.
The AP article mentioned only one person coming back - but they also said the hidden room would be ‘jungle themed’ and that was wrong too. *L* So who knows. Alison did say that the mystery won’t be revealed until the premiere, not the 7th, like the CBS site said…
GAH. One more week to go!

Perhaps we will vote in one of the past house guests making that clique the most powerful. Or perhaps there role will be outside the house for awhile… who knows. I am trying to think of who I would actually want to have come in as a “popular”… perhaps Dustin BB8… I am trying to think of who would count as popular Janelle? I don’t see her coming back… Maybe someone for the couples season there were a few “popular” guys like Matty or Alex (although I have no buring desire to have either of them back), maybe the best “popular” would be Nick BB8, the girls all fought over him in their season…
