by BBBlogger on May 27, 2009

Now I could either say “I told you so…” or I could take the high road and just smile knowing that I was right and all the other sites were way wrong!

Looks like we have an official statement about when Big Brother 11 will start. Per the following post at the futon critic here is what we have learned as of this afternoon!

EXCLUSIVE: “BIG BROTHER” RETURNS TO CBS ON JULY 9
By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)
——————————————————————————–
LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) — The 11th season of “Big Brother” will premiere Thursday, July 9 at 8:00/7:00c on CBS, network sources confirmed to the site this afternoon.

The series will then continue on Sundays at 8:00/7:00c and Tuesdays at 9:00/8:00c, a slight deviation from last summer’s initial schedule of Sundays at 8:00/7:00c, Tuesdays at 9:00/8:00c and Wednesdays at 8:00/7:00c. (Two weeks later, the latter edition moved to Thursdays at 8:00/7:00c in place of “Greatest American Dog.”)

Meanwhile, “The Big Bang Theory,” “The Mentalist” and “How I Met Your Mother” are set to move to their new fall homes starting next month.

“The Mentalist” will shift to Thursdays at 10:00/9:00c beginning June 4. Repeats will still continue in its old Tuesday, 9:00/8:00c home until “Big Brother” takes over on July 14.

“Big Bang” likewise will jump to Mondays at 9:30/8:30c starting June 8 with “Mother” assuming the 8:00/7:00c slot on June 22. “Rules of Engagement” will fill out the night at 8:30/7:30c.

In addition, “48 Hours Mystery” will expand to twice a week starting June 2 with episodes airing Tuesdays at 10:00/9:00c and Saturdays at 10:00/9:00c.

Now granted…this is not from CBS however I trust this source over others and it looks to be credible. My countdown on our other site http://www.big-brother-fans.com has been correct for the PAST 3 months! 🙂 I am very happy to be able to report that! (and i would have said it if i was wrong cuz that is how I roll!)

So…only 43 more days! Have I said enough to get you excited yet?

Peace, BBBlogger

So I bumped into BB8’s Mike Dutz…

by BBBlogger on May 21, 2009

Hey everyone,

BBBlogger here. In case you did not know, it takes a lot of help and people to run a crazy site (or sites) like this one and Big Brother Fans. I want to introduce you to one of my inside connections who lives out in California and has been keeping a few of my other blogs rocking during The Biggest Loser and American Idol. You may know her from my Big Brother Videos website (which is getting a make over soon). Please give a warm Big Brother Blog welcome to Bloggergal1 who will pop in time to time here on Big Brother Blog!

Peace, BBBlogger

Hi Big Brother Fans!

Yesterday I attended the 2009 GSN Game Show Awards. They were held at the Wilshire Theater in Beverly Hills. Although definitely not up to the calibar of the Emmy’s or the Grammy’s, it was fun nonetheless!

The fans all ended up sitting in the balcony, but that’s okay because there was an overlook so we could watch the (semi-famous LOL) stars walk down the red carpet on the first floor. Seen walking down the carpet were comedian George Wallace, game show host Monty Hall, The Office star Kate Flannery, singer Meatloaf, Cloris Leachman, Fred Willard, the kids from Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, Jeff Foxworthy, Biggest Loser host Allison Sweeney, Home Improvement star Richard Karn and many others.

The awards were hosted by Howie Mandel. He’s awesome and handled a huge number of malfunctions of the sets, etc., with joke after joke. Since the awards show is taped and shown sometime in June, when something went wrong they just did it over. This made for a very long taping. One interesting Howie tidbit is that he’s color blind. Since part of the audience was divided by color (to win prizes), this made his hosting job a lot more difficult.

So what does this all have to do with Big Brother? I’m getting to that part, LOL! I was standing in the upper floor lobby, I turn around and standing behind me is Mike Dutz. Please tell me you remember who Mike Dutz is! He’s the painter/model that did one of the stupidest things in Big Brother history! He goaded Evil Dick during a competition to help “his buddy” Kail. This PO’d Dick, Dick threw the competition and Mike ended up on the block and sent packing.

After being evicted, Mike said, “Sometime in life we have to step outside of our comfort zone and move away from those protective walls and risk your own security for basically what you believe in.” “I believe in values of integrity and honesty… I had to make some actions in a very inconvenient situation for myself which sacrificed my security in the hopes that all of you would see how close I hold those values to my heart, in the hopes that you would trust the player who has those types of values.” Honesty and integrity don’t work in the Big Brother house Mike!

When Mike was evicted, I was able to get in touch with him and offer him some advice on auctioning off his Big Brother memorabilia on EBay. I lost touch with him and so I was excited to get a chance to meet him in person. When I introduced myself and reminded him about Ebay, he remembered me. We chatted a bit about how things are going for him, but it was too crowded to get into specifics. I’m going to try to get in touch with him again and see if he can provide some insight for us during this season’s Big Brother.

The guy is as genuine as he appeared on Big Brother. He was just “too nice” for that show! He’s appeared on Gay, Straight or Taken and also done a lot of modeling. He’s definitely hot looking! Last night, he was pretty casually dressed in distressed jeans and a sport jacket. I didn’t get the chance to ask him why he was attending the Game Show Awards, but I wondered if he might be dating one of the many hot models that were on the stage.

I’m looking forward to this season of Big Brother along with the rest of you! Stay tuned…Bloggergal1

Big Brother 11 excitement is starting NOW!

by BBBlogger on May 15, 2009

So when does Big Brother 11 start? I have been asked this question quite a bit. Here is what I know…

Big Brother 11 will start in July 2009. The exact date is not 100% known yet but between me and my friends we have narrowed it down to either Tuesday July 7 or Thursday July 9 for possible start dates of Big Brother 11! Now, could we be wrong …yes…but from what we know and what history tells us…we think we are close.

In the meantime we are slowly growing the community up over at Big Brother Fans (my new website that is a facebook like community of Big Brother fans!) so if you have yet to do that go over to http://www.big-brother-fans.com and get an account. While you are over there, register to win the iPod we are giving away! For details go to http://www.big-brother-fans.com/forums/contest.php and get in the running! Where else can you get an Ipod from just being a Big Brother fan?!?

I have also redesigned this blog and implemented a new theme! I would love to hear your comments on it. If you like it better or worse then the old theme or if you have any suggestions to add to it. I do not think it is done yet but it is getting closer daily!

I am a big fan of social media and am going to be active on Facebook at Twitter all summer long. Be sure to join our Big Brother Blog fan page on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Big-Brother-11-Blog/63723475958 and connect with me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/BBBlogger (both of these links are over there on the right —–>)

Lastly, we have lots of things planned between these 2 Big Brother websites! Daily blogging here by me and a few of my select bloggers, active chats and games over on the Big brother forums and maybe a few other suprises in store!

So for now, get a smile on your face, a spring in your step, sign up to win an iPod from me and know that we are less than 60 days (2 months) until Big Brother 11 and Big Brother Blog start up its summer addiction once again.

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: comment and give us all your plan to make the time go by faster! 🙂

All my Big Brother Blog Faithful! Yes…we have just past the half way point between when Big Brother 10 ended and when Big Brother 11 will being. A year ago we were all excited for the first ever “Winter edition” of Big Brother (Big Brother 9 – ‘Til Death Do Us Part)…oh the memories.

As all Big Brother fans have slowly been waiting for the next season we have allowed this blog to go dormant and will continue to keep it that way until June sometime (when we start hearing information about Big Brother 11) but I want to give you all a few things you can do as we are all waiting for Big Brother 11 to begin.

I have tons up my sleeve for the new season. Here is a sneak peek at some of the new things coming up from Big Brother Blog.

1. I have created a new chat room and forum. It is located at http://www.big-brother-fans.com and is going to be the “Facebook of Big Brother Fans” I know it is early but I would go and sign up for your free account as soon as you are able. Start setting up your profile, remember your favorite Big Brother moments from previous season and connect with other fans. There will be a few (yes a few) iPods given away and I want everyone to have a chance to win!

2. I think Big Brother Blog needs a facelift. I am going to be installing a new theme on this website soon. It may throw some people off but I think after 4 seasons of Big Brother Blogging, it is time for a change. Don’t worry though…we will still bring you the same quality content and offer the same open discussion forum you are used to for following your favorite show and mine…Big Brother.

3. Lastly, this blog is and will always be about you the fans of Big Brother. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you are looking for over the next season. I will do everything I can to make it happen.

So hang in there, just a little over 4 months until the new Big Brother show begins and we can all stay attached to our TVs and watch the craziness ensue.

If you would like for something else to do until then…feel free to join us at….

Amazing Race Blog at Amazing-Race-Blog.com
American Idol Blog at American-Idol-Blog.com
Biggest Loser Blog at The-Biggest-Loser-Blog.com
Survivor Tocantins Blog at Survivor-Blog.com

…and dont forget the newest and soon to be largest Big Brother fan site on the internet. Big Brother Fans at Big-Brother-Fans.com

Hang in there….we will make it to July! I promise!

It’s Unanimous! Dan is the winner of Big Brother 10!

by BBBlogger on September 17, 2008

I love the Big Brother finale. I love the jury segments. I love the drama of the voting and the way everyone talks. I love seeing familiar faces in the crowd…alumni from Big Brother past seasons.

By far my favorite part is when they clue everyone into some of the moves that were made and the things that people did not know about…let me give you an example.

I loved it when Michelle learned about “America’s Player”. I thought it was priceless watching her facial expressions. The shock and the “I KNEW IT” look in her eyes said it all.

The other part I loved was the way we got to understand Dan’s moves and strategy. Let me tell you…he was one amazing player (not quite Dr. Will…but close!) When he was connected with Brian and Brian was out right away….he was able to fade into the background by convincing everyone he was not a threat and just let the group of 8 go after who they believed to be more of a threat and then when the 8 split and went after each other, Dan was off the radar. (Worked out so amazingly well for him) Then, when he needed to, he aligned with Memphis and the Renegades were born!

Dan and Memphis went to work. This was a very smart move since he was able to win when he could and if not, have someone who had his back when he didn’t win a HoH or Veto. VERY SMART!

Lastly, I think he was one of the smartest when it comes to forward planning. The fact that he purposely tried to mess with his relationship with Michelle and Ollie with the thought that if he was in the final 2 he would be more liked…simply amazing planning (and maybe a tad cocky) but all worked out. Everyone agreed that Dan was the Man. Jury vote was 7 – 0. Nothing against Memphis….just Dan played the game and really did Dominate.

So what do you think? Was Dan a deserving winner? Should Memphis have won? Let the world know by commenting below!

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: I have about 3 or 4 more emails/blog posts coming before I allow the site to go dormant to Big Brother 11 so please do not unsubscribe. If you want to continue with the fun…we have a few other blogs you should check out.

Dan vs Memphis: Who will Win Big Brother 10?

by BBBlogger on September 15, 2008

The Final Big Brother 10 Blog Diary Room is now open. Who do you believe will walk away with the 500,000 dollars and the winnner of Big Brother 10?

Dan

Dan the Catholic School teacher who was more reserved early on (and it almost cost him) but then started to really play the game and was an extremely strong player the last 1/2 of the game.

Memphis
Memphis the Mixologist who was one of my favorites going in since I thought he would do well….but really his only smart move was to align with Dan. I have not seen him play the game as hard. He has won some veto competitions when it counted but overall I see him coming in second tomorrow night.

So what do you think? Is Dan the Man? Or will Memphis mix it up enough to get the jury’s votes?

That is how I see it….how do you see it. Break it down for everyone and let us know who will win Big Brother 10 and let us know how you see the jury voting.

Peace, BBBlogger

Anyone else feeling a little Big Brother Deja Vu?

by BBBlogger on September 10, 2008

Tonight made me think some….follow me on this.

Big Brother 10’s ending is a repeat of Big Brother 9’s ending.

Dan = Adam (except I like Dan much better and think he is smarter than Adam)
Memphis = Ryan (seriously….they are very similar…thought that for a while now)
Jerry = Sheila (ok…here is why…both are older in the house, both are odd person out for the final 3, both are loved and hated at the same time)

So…Like Adam…Dan won round 1.
Like Ryan my BET is Memphis will destroy Jerry in round 2.
And well….it won’t matter because Jerry is going to be voted out. 3rd place for Jerry is what I picture to be Jerry’s fate on Thursday (just like Shelia)

Now….with that being said…..something about this season feels very similar to BB9.

Anyone else agree with me? Am I way off? Have I lost all grip on reality today on my birthday?

Cannot wait to hear what you all think….tomorrow the diary room will open up and you can tell us who will win HoH and who will be the final 2 in Big Brother 10.

Cannot wait to hear your thoughts!

Peace, BBBlogger

Hey everyone. September 9th, 2009 was a Live POV ceremony and another Live Eviction and well…..as usual…it lived up to expectations.

****SPOILERS****

If you have not watched the show…then please don’t read further.

I don’t want to ruin anything for you my faithful readers of Big Brother Blog.

So…where were we? Memphis? Yeah…Memphis. This week’s POV holder. He was able to remove himself from the blog leaving him the lone vote to evict either Keesha or Jerry live.

((I think Memphis was a little drunk with power tonight))

Memphis cast his vote to evict Keesha leaving Memphis, Dan and Jerry the final 3. So one of the boys will be the last HoH and one of the boys will win Big Brother 10.

So with the final 3 known…(I all ready miss Keesha!) they moved into the final HoH competition which as expected is a 3-parter with part 1 being an endurance competition.

Now, I wish I had the job of thinking up these endurance competitions since wow….this one was a very weird in my opinion. (Bring back the “HOLD ONTO THE KEY” from BB8! I am going to call tonight’s “Come Fly with Me”…they had to stand on airplanes and basically hold on for dear life.

It was a quick comp with Dan winning.

Part 2 will be Memphis vs. Jerry and the winner will face Dan for the final HoH.

So…who is playing the best game? Who is gonna win HoH and better yet…..who is going to win Big Brother 10?

Talk with you all soon.

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: it is my 38 birthday today (Sept. 10)….in lieu of presents, please just comment away! 🙂
