Yeah, for me, the gameplay is what makes Big Brother. I couldn't watch BB without the strategy, the lying and backstabbing. I'm too much of a soap fan not to enjoy the high-stakes treachery, LoL. |

Exactly. That's why I ditched Croatian BB as soon as I saw first few moments of US BB. :D |

Which is surprising. Most fans of international Big Brother don't "get" our version. Most of them think Big Brother should be a social experiment only, whereas we see Big Brother as a social experiment and a game... and a soap. :) |

I tried watching BBUK and couldn't get into it. I'm like you and like the gameplay aspect. The casting seems much better on the UK one though. |

That's true. We don't get models/mactors... We actually get real people.. But still.. US version is better :D |

A regular poster at RealityBBQ e-mailed Showtime Customer Service and inquired about whether or not BBAD will be returning this summer, and this was their response...So, there ya have it. BBAD returns! :) |

Both E! Online and the Futon Critic are reporting that Big Brother 11 will premiere on Thursday, July 9th at 8PM/ET. E! Online had previously reported "rumors" of a July 7th premiere, but they've since confirmed it as July 9th. This season will go back to the classic Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday schedule: Tuesday @ 9PM/ET Thursday @ 8PM/ET Sunday @ 8PM/ET

I'm glad it's going back to Tues/Thurs/Sun. The wait between Wednesday and Sunday just felt like an eternity. |

Yeah, plus it just threw the whole schedule out of whack. By the time Sunday's episode would air, they had already done the nominations and played the POV Competiton several days before. It made Sunday's episode feel kind of pointless and delayed, LoL. Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday is definitely the way to go. Hopefully this season will get some decent ratings. I think it will. This has been the first time in since July of 2007 that we've actually had to wait a full nine months for a new season, so everyone's going through Big Brother withdrawals. I have a feeling that will help deliver decent ratings. Also, it doesn't have Idol to go up against like BB9 did. Are there any mega-ratings shows that Big Brother will be up against this summer? I hope not. If the ratings are bad, it'll probably be the last season we ever have. We say that every year though and it hasn't happened yet, LoL. |

So glad it's back to it's regular schedule. I hated the shows on Wednesday. Between Wed and Sun it was HORRIBLE. I might get the feeds again this year. I skipped BB10 and kinda regretted it, although I don't have a lot of time to watch, I don't care. Eh, we will see. |

I would subscribe to the feeds, but (aside from the fact that I sure as hell can't afford it right now), pretty much all the good stuff gets uploaded to YouTube anyway, even if it doesn't make it onto CBS. |

Plus you've got my wonderful updates, and I'm sure someone will stream the quad cam for free on Justin.tv like they did last season. I just don't know much time I'll be able to devote to writing updates this season... I really don't. I could have a lot of time or I might not have any time at all, LoL. It's a total crapshoot. Regardless, Big Brother is my addiction and I will find a way to be as involved as possible. No matter what, there's always Jokers/RealityBBQ/SurvivorSucks! ;) |

You're a frickin' lunatic quitting your job in the middle of an economic crisis! LoL. Enjoy the feeds! Just an FYI, the BB Stream is currently playing Season 2 and the houseguests are about to be informed about 9/11. If you recall, that's the season where Monica's cousin died in the terrorist attacks. http://www.justin.tv/bigbrotherusa11 |

Ugh, yuck. I hate that show and Susan Boyle, LoL. At least it only airs on Tuesdays. Do you know if its time slot will be 8 or 9PM? Big Brother's Tuesday slot is 9PM. |

As long as Julie Chen is married to Moonves I don't think BB will be cancelled. It's cheap reality and pulls decent demos. |
