Big Brother 9: Big Brother in the Winter?
Big Brother 9 Set to Start on CBS February 12, 2008 at 9/8 Central Time
They have also announced that they will be bringing back, "Big Brother After Dark" on Showtime's Show Too sister station. This could make for some interesting live-blogging. A lot of last year's most interesting moments happened while "Big Brother After Dark" was airing. Case in point, the big Jen vs. Dick fight from Big Brother 8.
What will the Big Brother 9 twist be? There are a lot of rumors floating around. One of the big ones was that BB9 would be a celebrity edition, but that rumor has been put to rest. Another was that Dick Donato, winner of BB8, would be returning. That rumor has not so solidly been squashed, but neither has it been proven!
According to producer Alison Grodner, America's Player will not be returning. "That's really hard to do twice," Grodner said. "Anyone coming to be a part of 'Big Brother' this year would know about it and we'd hate to have people act differently because they think that the viewers are in control. ... That doesn't mean that it couldn't return in some other way, but doing exactly what we did again, no." (Source: New York Daily News)
So what is left in the way of twists? One persistent rumor is that BB9's twist will have something to do with 'dirty little secrets' and will based on one season of the French version of Big Brother, which was called, "Secret Story." Apparently there is a promotion for BB9 right now that has part of the song "Dirty Little Secrets" playing in the background. Another of the more persistent rumors is that this BB9 will only last six weeks, but will still have 14 players, thus driving even more speculation on twists and unexpected evictions.

The reason behind this unusual winter season of Big Brother seems to be the writers' strike, which makes a lot of sense. So maybe we can look forward to an additional season of Amazing Race as well.
Big Brother 9 will premiere February 12, 2008 at 9/8 central and will again be hosted by Julie Chen.

Post a CommentI JUST left the site the www.sillyhamster.com where fans of the show blog.
The moderator/creator of the site, Hamster Dame is wonderful!
The winter edition is not replacing the summer edition which will be in July.
Even though the show is coming back early I still wish the writer's strike could be resolved.
I miss Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice.
Thanks for your info on my secret reality show viewing...I watch very little tv and like to
immerse in mindlessness every once in a while.
Yep, the writer's strike is wreaking havoc. The networks are moving more and more toward reality shows and as long as people watch them, I doubt they will be in much of a hurry to go totally back to the old format. Reality shows are easier to do in many instances; take less money (in SOME instances); and seem to draw large enough ratings.
I've seen ads run on CBX and find it interesting when they show clips from BB8, they don't show Zach, hmmm. I admit, I'm excited for BB9!
Thanks. This is a good read. No comment on the writer's strike. :>)
That writer's strike has confused everything for me so much. Just yesterday I realized that they hadn't started a new season of Lost yet.
The writers' strike seems to have messed up all programming.
