Big Brother After Dark to Return…thanks SHO2!

by BBBlogger on January 17, 2008

Day 25 on our BB9 countdown. Here are some SWEET #25’s! Please keep sending in your pics at realitytvchat (at) gmail (dot) com!

25 days and counting 25 days and counting 25 days and counting

**and for the record…this is NOT BBBlogger with a 25 on his chest! :p

25 days and counting

And to answer all of your questions…yes….they ARE bringing Big Brother After Dark back again. Last year during BB8 they thought, why not have the Live Feeds on for people to watch from Midnight to 3:00am (when all the crazy stuff REALLY happens!)

Per my friends at BB9Dish (I am having a Showmance with one of the DishChicks! SHHH!) they posted the official press release from CBS! Here it is….

Showtime Greenlights a Second Installment of Big Brother

Big Brother: After Dark, an exclusive live three hour feed of the first winter edition of the CBS hit reality series BIG BROTHER starting Tuesday, February 12th at 12:00 AM ET/PT on SHO2

LOS ANGELES, CA – (January 8, 2008) – CBS and Showtime will once again partner to bring viewers Big Brother: After Dark, an exclusive, live televised look inside the BIG BROTHER house after the network prime-time cameras have been turned off. Big Brother: After Dark will feature a live television feed from the “Big Brother” house for three hours (12:00–3:00 AM, ET/PT), seven days a week, on the cable network’s SHO2 multiplex channel beginning Tuesday, February 12th at 12:00 AM ET/PT. The announcement was made today by Robert Greenblatt, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.

“Big Brother: After Dark was a big success for us at bringing an audience to very late night time periods on SHO2. This began as an experiment with our friends at Endemol and CBS, and I’m happy that it worked so well for all of us,” said Greenblatt. “I’m amazed at how much curiosity there is about what goes on in the Big Brother house after the lights are out, but what better place to present that than on SHOWTIME where we have a lot of on-air real estate in the wee hours of the morning.”

The first winter edition of BIG BROTHER will premiere on CBS Tuesday, February 12th and air every Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET/PT, Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET/PT and Sunday at 8:00 PM ET/PT. The series follows the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize.

So it looks like the LNC will be watching SHOWTIME2 while chilling on our blog!! 🙂

More good info tomorrow…

Peace, BBBlogger

Build it and they will come…

by BBBlogger on January 16, 2008

Very popular line from the movie a “Field of Dreams”. I have always thought that that would be the way it would be as well.

So last year, near the end of the Big Brother 8 season, I built a chat room. I thought…wouldn’t it be nice to chat with these crazy people who keep commenting on the blog. Wouldn’t it be fun to talk about Big Brother, Evel Dick, Eric and Jessica, Kail and her boys and of course…Jen! 🙂

After building it…I found it hard to keep getting people in there….at times we had about 20 people in there at one time. It was fun chatting and watching. I thought it was a good idea and had fun.

…but then it came to an end. The season was done. I thought I would let the blog and the chat room go dormant unless there was some really really important Big Brother stuff to talk about. I thought it was just a nice site sitting there waiting for BB9. Once I found out BB9 was going to start again in Feb. We were back in business earlier than expected.

I started updating things…getting ready…and then I jumped into the chat room.

**THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THERE**

I was stunned to say the least….how did they find my chat room…especially since Big Brother was not even on. Well, from what I was told, they are a group of people who have been in chat room after chat room. They hung out a lot in the CBS chat room. They were looking for a home and I guess they enjoyed the flashchat room I had put up.

So….you must be asking yourself….where is this chat room. Well as you can see to the right of this post, there is a side bar….on it, right under the current poll is a button that says Big Brother Blog Chat room….yep…..right there. Just click it. You will have to enter a username but not a password. You too can join in the fun.

Go in there and say hello. They are a great group of people and enjoy chatting about life and of course…Big Brother! Just be sure to be nice…

By the way…before I forget…it is day 26 on our countdown.

Big Brother Countdown - Number 26

Big Brother 9 – What differences should we expect?

by BBBlogger on January 15, 2008

COUNTOWN: 27 Day’s until Big Brother 9 starts. If you have a photo that represents a number (IE: the number 26 in cheese whiz, or the number 25 built out of Lego’s, or a photoshop pic of Evel Dick with a 24 on his white T-Shirt) please email it to me and I will add it to my blog. You will get a mention on my blog and lots of LOVE from everyone who sees the picture. The more creative the better! Email all entries to me at realitytvchat@gmail.com!

Here are some ideas of what I am looking for….I am looking for original things that are very creative! 🙂 Who knows…I may give a prize for the MOST ORIGINAL and CREATIVE one.

27 days and counting 27 days and counting 27 days and counting 27 days and counting

So…with that being said and due to the hurry up and get Big Brother 9 back on the TV as fast as possible mentality of CBS…what changes will we see?

A few of the things that come up are…

Evel Dick wannabe’s – Since Dick Donato went in, pitched a fit, was mean, rude and down right NASTY and yet found a way to win Big Brother 8. My guess is that there will be a lot of “Dick Jr’s” running around the BB9 house. From what I had heard from someone who went to one of the Big Brother auditions (which are done now) that is exactly seems to be the case.

New Surprises or a Lack of Surprises – There will be no America’s Player this season. That should be obvious since we saw it once and they cannot do that surprise again. Will we see more twists and turns this season or less due to the hurried production time? Will that mean BB10 will suffer since they will use all of the stops now and nothing new will be ready in time for BB10 this summer? Lots of questions but we will still watch and we will still enjoy!

Time of the year – How will the seasons effect the new houseguests? Right away….just days after being thrown into the Big Brother House….they will be forced to be away from their loved ones on Valentines Day….then miss Easter, St. Patrick’s Day and get out just in time for Memorial Day and a nice long relaxing summer. This is the first time they have had it during this time of year so it should be interesting to see if any of those things come up.

So there are a few things I thought off. I am sure there more. Please share with everyone what you think. I am blogging every day until Big Brother 9 is launched. I promise to give you any information I can find, any deals that are out there and as much original content as I can come up with. Tell your friends….the more the merrier. This is your site and your blog. I look forward to reading YOUR comments.

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: I am giving away 2 iPod shuffles this year so stay tuned. Tell everyone about Big Brother Blog!

Hello everyone! BBBlogger here! Thinking that we are close enough to start more regular updates on Big Brother 9 and get things more active on my blog.

First off…thank you to everyone who are still on the mailing list. I appreciate you all sticking around and not clicking the unsubscribe button! I have tried very hard to NOT UPDATE the blog much during the off season…but we are at 4 weeks away and there are finally some information that I am getting on the new Big Brother Season…so I will try to give you as much info as I can find.

With that being said you will notice that most of the banners and categories are now getting upgraded. All of the Big Brother 8 posts are still there, they have just been moved into the Big Brother Archives!

Good news for all of the Big Brother Blog LNC…it looks like Showtime After Dark is returning. More info soon…

Thanks for being a part of the Big Brother Blog. This is your blog…please let us know how we can continue to make it your favorite blog on the net!

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: I have some new contests to be announced this week. Get ready….it is going to be a great season of Big Brother 9!

Big Brother 9 to premier on Feb. 12, 2008

by BBBlogger on December 4, 2007

Well it looks like we finally have a date. Feb. 12, 2008! 9:00PM Eastern/8:00PM Central Big Brother will return to CBS for the 9th time!

So with Big Brother coming back I figured it was time to start getting the blog in shape! So I have made a few changes around here.

Change #1: As you may have noticed we have a brand new banner. I would love to hear your feedback. My thoughts were to make something simple and something that could be used for all Big Brothers now and future. Also I wanted it to match the “puke” green color scheme…how did I do? 🙂

Change #2: I have added GRAVATARS to my blog. This will allow you to show your personality next to your comments on the blog. As we were one of the most commented Big Brother Blogs on the web last season, we expect to keep up the trend. With that being said, all you have to do is go to Gravatar.com and upload an image of your choosing. It will automatically show up next to your comment (as long as you use the SAME EMAIL ADDRESS) so start getting your Avatar ready since we will have a contest for the MOST CREATIVE BIG BROTHER THEMED AVATAR…more info coming soon.

Change #3: We are expanding. With this being the most popular of my TV Blogs, I am in need of help with all of them. If you are interested in writing for us please email me at realitytvchat (at) gmail (dot) com. Also our new sister site needs someone who LOVES BIG BROTHER, who LOVES YOUTUBE and is INTERESTED IN EARNING MONEY. (got your attention did I?) Please email me if you are interested in helping out.

So…are you ready? Are you excited to get it started once again….I know I cannot wait!

Peace, BBBlogger

Big Brother 9 coming back to CBS sooner than expected!

by BBBlogger on November 19, 2007

So the word on the street is that Big Brother 9 is starting in late January or February 2008. You can all thank the PERFECT STORM of things for this change.

1. The writers strike. The longer this baby goes, the more reality TV (and Big Brother) we will get.
2. The success of Big Brother 8. Like it or not, it was huge for CBS and ratings. CBS wants to get it back on the air as well. Love him or hate him…you can thank BB8 winner Dick since he made BB8 what to watch last summer!
3. The writes strike. I think this is the main reason it is coming back early so I figured I would list it again! 🙂

I heard a rumor about this and read in Entertainment Weekly that they are doing this along with the promotional commercials for Big Brother 9 and applications during survivor. Feeling very VERY excited about getting an extra dose of Big Brother going on.

** and be sure to know that Big Brother Blog will be even bigger and better than last year! **

per the CBS.com website… http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/application.shtml

“Think you’ve got what it takes to live in the Big Brother house? Apply now to be on BIG BROTHER 9. Be sure to read the eligibility requirements before you apply. Good luck!”

I know that you are all expecting no more emails from me and I PROMISE that this will be the last one until I hear more about Big Brother 9, but I want to help you out with going through your Big Brother Withdrawls.

I have opened a brand new website for all my Big Brother fans. It is called Big Brother Videos and can be located at http://www.big-brother-videos.com! (matching domians with big-brother-blog.com!) 🙂

Basically, I have found a bunch of wrap up interviews and just Big Brother themed videos for all my faithful Big Brother Blog patrons.

Also, I have added its seperate email list to update you if new videos are added. I expect that this site will be very active for Big Brother 9 (and beyond) but until then be sure to visit, bookmark it, sign up for the mailing list and then come back here and share your opinion by commenting on this post.

I miss you all and hope to see you again soon…we are hanging out at www.Survivor-Blog.com in case you want to see your old friends!

Chat Live with Jess and Eric – Wed 9/26/07

by BBBlogger on September 25, 2007

So I am not sure anyone else is still feeling empty….like something is missing from their lives. Its like the time invested over the past 3 months has not come to a stop and many fans of the Big Brother TV Show have started to integrate back into their lives! Officially…Summer and BB8 are over…however, the fun can continue.

On Wednesday 9/26 @ 6pm PDT, America’s favorite showmance will be live and ready to chat with you. That’s right Jess and Eric will be on the live feeds (which are no longer live but they are still showing the whole season once again!) and will be interviewed for your enjoyment. This chat is exclusive to SuperPass subscribers only. If you still have not canceled your live feeds your in luck. If you no longer have the feeds…sign up for FREE 14 day trial and watch the interview that I know you do not want to miss.

Jessica and Eric

During the live chat you will be able to ask them anything you want…for example…
• What are their true feelings towards each other?
• Was their first kiss a part of Eric’s task or was it heartfelt and honest?
• Do they see a future for themselves?
• How hard was it for Eric to not tell Jess about his role as America’s Player?
• Did Eric’s role as AP cost him his as well as Jess’s game?

Be sure to email your questions to Real Networks at askbigbrother@real.com, please include your first name and city with your query.

Congrats to Dick Donato! Winner of Big Brother 8!

by BBBlogger on September 20, 2007

Dick is the winner of BB8!Said in my best Julie Chen voice…

“In a vote of 5 to 2, Dick you are the winner of Big Brother 8!”

**wild cheering and celebration occurs across the nation**

In case you missed it, the votes ended up like this…

Jen and Jameka voted for Dani
Eric, Jess, Dustin, Amber and Zach voted for Dick

The finale was entertaining. I enjoyed watching the jury questions that were asked and Dick and Dani’s responses. However to me the best part was the reveal of the big twist of America’s Player. Eric had a sheepish look and was very worried and nervous about the response of his role. He even whispered to Jess that he would expain everything later during the live show. (is the honeymoon over all ready?) 😉

It was good and the house guests are all still kicking themselves for not breaking up Dick and Dani early in the game when they had the opportunity.

So with this post I am going to allow my popular summer website Big-Brother-Blog.com to go dormant. What this means is that we will not be posting anymore until we get new news on Big Brother 9. So…if you signed up for the mailing list…please do not opt out or unsubscribe. This will be the last post (at least I think so) for Big Brother 8! We will let you know when Big Brother 9 is getting underway around here. The posts and comments will remain for archival purposes and we hope you go through and reread them for some very entertaining stuff!

So…sad and want more? Feel free to join us at any of the following websites…

Survivor China Blog.
Reality TV Forum.
Must Read TV Blog (updated by Big Brother Blogs own sooner ryan!)

Thanks again for making this the most popular Big Brother Blog on the internet (or at least one of them) and we promise to do it again next year!

Peace, BBBlogger
