    Yay! Go TEAM! Thanks for starting this thread.

    Remember, no need for Showtime anymore!! I cancelled my sub! Now you can watch TV Guide Network for Big Brother After Dark. It is shortened down to 2 hours instead of 3. Also, the live feeds are via CBS.com

    New stuff happening this season from the start! Here's a bit of a spoiler, but I got this from my DirecTV show description for Sunday's BB so anyone could really see it:

    MVP

    Another one:

    “The Big Brother MVP will force the houseguests to rethink their strategies. With America rewarding good game play, it doesn’t pay to be a floater this summer,” said Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, Executive Producers of BIG BROTHER.

    The TV commercials mentioned the three nominations.

    Somewhat, I like it because these people are locked-up in a 'house' for almost 3 months. No connection to the outside world.

    Here is some info I pieced together from Wikipedia:

    The show follows a group of House Guests living together 24 hours a day in the "Big Brother" house, isolated from the outside world but under constant surveillance with no privacy for three months.

    The HouseGuests compete for the chance to win a $500,000 grand prize by avoiding weekly eviction, until the last HouseGuest remains at the end of the season that can claim the $500,000 grand prize.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_(U.S.)

    It is also cool to see the live eviction and true reactions. Some stuff can't be *bleeped* and is funny to see/hear. There are definitely some hot moments with arguments and scheming involved.

    If you are interested at this point, give it a full week (3 shows) to decide. That will give you an idea of the format and flow.

    I have to say that I am very disappointed in the lack of hot men on the show this year. I hope that the chick from NY is out quickly, I'm already annoyed by her.

    The lifeguard is freaking hilarious! He's a cartoon character!

    What really miffs me is that Big Brother is not casting anyone over 40. They haven't been casting many older people for the show in some time. They were throwing a few in on previous seasons. Now, it seems they have one token 'geezer' every season. The last few seasons have had one or non. This year, the oldest cast member is 37, with other thirty-something's being 32 and 31.

    I enjoyed the dynamics and the learning experiment when someone like Jack (season 4, 58 yrs old at the time, former FBI agent) was interacting with younglings. It also showed how frustrating it was for an older person to relate to the younger generation, and vice versa. There were also some nice friendships made along the way.

    When I get on the show next year, this will change, I tell ya!

    It would be cool to see a whole show with only (say) 40+ aged people.

    Plenty of eye candy this season, no complaints at all over here.

    Like the MVP for plenty of reasons. Anything to mix things up is a good thing. The fact that the viewers pick the MVP is great, the viewers now are participating in the show. Multiply that with the fact the third pick is a secret ballot and we have an awesome twist and multiple advantages/disadvantages all over the place.

    Rachel's sister is way easy to pick out, so not surprised she's out already, though she doesn't even know it yet.

    How hilarious that 3 self-described people-reading "experts" think pizza boy's job is just an act! LOL

    Couldn't agree more. The older folks make for an interesting dynamic.

    Funny how quickly people get on your nerves just watching the damn show. Imagine being there. I don't think I'd last a week because I would have already told Brooklyn to STFU about 30 times by now. She reminds me of Paula from the Real World & Challenge fame.

    COMPLETELY disappointed in the BB After Dark aspect this year. Shorter & censored. Pffffft. No thanks. But then again, they haven't had a good "uninhibited" After Dark cast since Crazy James' and Nathalie's season. I will say that from watching last night's BBAD show that Amanda from Long Island is hilarious tho! I'll be tuning in for her.

    Holy crap -- I said the EXACT same thing last night to my girlfriend when we were watching! She looks so much like Paula, especially when they show her from below her snout.

    **side note: Rivals 2 starts in less than two weeks! I believe Paula is, once again, part of the cast.

    Here's a twist...I offer this idea free-of-charge to the network. Real-life "Cabin in the Woods." If you've seen the movie, tell me that wouldn't work perfectly!

    Game ON!

    have you guys been following the feeds???


    The honchos at CBS tell TMZ ... they were certainly OFFENDED by several racist and homophobic comments made by the current "Big Brother" houseguests ... but hey, that's live programming for ya.

    The houseguests have been under fire from what appears to be the ENTIRE INTERNET over the following comments:

    -- GinaMarie referred to welfare as “n**ger insurance”
    -- Aaryn called gay contestant Andy a "queer."
    -- Spencer referred to Andy as “Kermit the F**" ... and praised Hitler as a gifted speaker.

    CBS has released a statement to TMZ ... saying, "We certainly find the statements made by several of the Houseguests on the live Internet feed to be offensive."

    However, The Eye points out that 24/7 live programming can sometimes reveal some bad things about people ... saying, "At times, the Houseguests reveal prejudices and other beliefs that we do not condone."

    There have been rumors that Big Brother will be 86ing some of the offensive cast members -- but it certainly doesn't appear that's gonna happen.

    Aaryn Gries -- the Paula Deen of the "Big Brother" house -- has been dropped by her modeling agency after dropping racist and homophobic comments in the BB house ... TMZ has learned.

    Gries has been under fire for referring to a gay houseguest as a "queer" ... AND for telling an Asian-American houseguest to "shut up and go and make some rice" ... AND for saying racist stuff about black people.

    When referring to a black contestant, Aaryn said "Be careful what you say in the dark, you might not be able to see that b*tch."

    Now, Zephyr Talent in Austin, Texas says they've seen enough -- and have decided to DROP Aaryn from the agency because of her filthy mouth.

    "Aaryn, season 15 cast member of Big Brother, revealed prejudices and other beliefs that we (Zephyr Talent) do not condone."

    Zephyr continues, " We certainly find the statements made by Aaryn on the live Internet feed to be offensive. Upon much consideration, we have decided to release Aaryn from her contract with Zephyr Talent."

    Obviously, Aaryn cannot be reached for comment -- 'cause she's still in the BB house ... with all of those people she hates
