This season on BIG BROTHER, one participant has been selected to be America’s Player: Eric, the 27-year-old talent management assistant from New York, New York. At the conclusion of every episode beginning Sunday, July 8, a question will be asked of viewers where they will vote on an important assignment that Eric must complete. It could be a strategic move or a personal action. Eric must attempt to do what viewers request, including voting out a specific HouseGuest. Eric can never tell anyone in the house that he is working on behalf of the viewers. But, he needs to be careful…just like his fellow HouseGuests, he can be voted out at any time. If “America’s Player” successfully accomplishes these assignments, he will be financially rewarded. Viewers will be able to vote on cbs.com or via text messaging on a mobile phone and will choose from multiple choice answers on each question. The prevailing vote must be completed by Eric in order for him to be rewarded.

Kail won HOH in last nights episode of BB8. The competition included groups of two, one person on a spinning mushroom and the other answering True or False questions. For every question wrong the mushroom would spin faster. The last group standing won HOH. Eric and Kail made it to the finals and the ‘3 Hidden House guests’ (Dick, Dustin & Jessica) got to choose who would hold HOH. They all agreed upon Kail. Dick, Dustin and Jessica did not compete in the HOH competition, they were not revealed to the other 11 house guests at that point. Nick also didn’t compete, he was the odd man out in picking the pairs of two.

Kail has now put Carol and Amber on the block. Amber has done a pretty good job getting Dick on her side and they both are rallying to keep her (Amber). Jen is worried if she doesn’t win the veto she would go up. Dick assured her that no one would use the Veto other then Carol so they plan to make sure Carol doesn’t come out holding the power of veto. POV will take place around 11:45AM Big Brother Time (BBT) this will be updated when we know the winner of the power of veto. House guests competing in the POV include Jameka, Nick, Daniele, Carol, Amber and Kail.

Eric has been chosen by CBS to be the ‘Americas Player’. CBS made reference to Dr. Will Kirby as the puppet master last year. This year America will be the puppet master of Eric. I think this is a good choice. He seems like he will slip through the crack at least for a few weeks. By text messaging and voting online we will be able to say what Eric has to do in the Big Brother House for every 5 tasks he completes he will win $10,000 dollars. Now thats some initiative! Some of the questions may include who he should make-out with in the house, put up for nomination or evict from the house!

You may hear the phrase “The 6” in upcoming episodes of Big Brother 8 and thats because that’s what the pairs have been labeled as. The pairs include Dick and Daniele the estranged Father-Daughter relationship, Joe and Dustin the Ex Boyfriends with a voltile relationship and Carol and Jessica the fighting cheerleaders who fought over $5.00 in the 7th grade! After Joe announced Dustin supposedly gave him Gonorreah America has been calling them the ‘Gonorreah Gays’.

Big Brother is going balls-out in its return this summer– literally– as CBS simultaneously launches an almost-uncensored spin-off series on cable. Big Brother: After Dark will feature a live, unedited feed from the “Big Brother” house, three hours a night (midnight til 3 am ET/PT) on ShoToo, Showtime’s widely available companion net.

With so many cameras in the house capturing multiple storylines, an online producer will decide which camera views audiences will see. But producers are making it clear that profanity and nudity will be allowed. Up until Big Brother season 5 in 2004, nudity was allowed on the show’s webcast on CBS.com.

Zap2it.com has listed Big Brother 8’s prize money at $1 million dollars. I checked my local listings at TVGuide.com and it didn’t say anything about the amount of money the house guests could win.

On Zap2it

Big Brother 8
Thu, Jul 5, 8:00 PM | Run Time: 60 min.
Genre: Series
New
CC
Stereo
Strangers coexist in an isolated house [B]for a chance at $1 million.[/B]
Credits: Julie Chen

Maybe this is one of the changes Alison was speaking about. If this turns out to be cool I think the show may be better, the houseguests would do more to win, therefore making it even more exciting.

Diane Henry made a post on her website “I know a huge BB secret for the show this year!!!!!!!!! but I can’t tell….all I’ll say is that some will puke and some will cheer….your call.” Does she really know something or is she just trying to get some more fame for the second?

Josef Adalian from Variety reports today some new things about the upcoming Big Brother 8 season everyone is stoked for. While “Brother” has from time to time let viewers make some key decisions, Grodner and Maynard hinted the show plans to significantly increase the play-along-at-home component. Could this mean the audience will be more involved? It sure sounds like Big Brother will be letting the audience make more key decisions in the Big Brother house then ever before!
