I don't think so.

I just have a weird amish fascination as they were not that far from where i grew up.

I see Amish people once in a while. It would be interesting to see someone like that on BB.

We have a little Amish town around here. I rarely ever drive through it, but when I do I get a kick out of seeing the Amish families at the side of the road in their little horse-drawn buggies.

I remember hearing as a child that Amish people won't allow themselves to be photographed or filmed because it steals their soul? Anyone else heard that?

I hadn't heard that about the Amish culture but I know that in many Native American groups they don't allow/fear their picture been taken for that reason.

Wasn't there a reality show a few years back that followed a group of Amish teens who were on their rumspringa?

Yes. I have heard that.

For some reason I have been seeing Amish people a lot in Chicago lately. I live close to the train station and like they are constantly around (or at least women wearing the bonnets and modest homemade dresses and men wearing the beards) and when I met my mom at the train station this weekend I was shocked seeing they had like plastic baby carriers and shit. I was so confused. Then later on the group gathered to have some public prayer/singing service and handed out CDs. Like who the hell made them?

Media Day Blog: House details from inside this year’s ‘summer shack’

After spending 12 hours inside the Big Brother house for Media Day earlier this month, WeLoveBigBrother.com‘s Matt Maynard is able to give you some of the first details about this season’s new digs.

Front Entrance

On the wall across from the front door, two palm tree trunks run up both sides of the wall. The top of the trees (which may have had coconuts) branch out across from the second-floor chess area. I must say though, when I first ran into the house, I totally missed these.

Living Room

The living room didn’t stick out much to me this year. One large purple wallpaper wall is noticeable when you first walk into the room (with a light, shiny pattern). The nomination chairs were white Florida beach house-like chairs with basket material-like arm rests. The main couches didn’t stick out either—they were long with short arm rests complete with plenty of pillows. Large white shells and other décor sat on a table for decoration.

Bedrooms

There were three main bedrooms—we were only given access to two. My room (the bedroom without a door) had three little beds with dark wallpaper that had a busy tropical tree design. If I remember correctly, each bed was a different bright color.

The other bedroom (which we sat in for nearly an hour without talking—explaining why I remember it so clearly) was nicknamed the “rainbow room.” It had bright, vertically-stripped wallpaper (with a main color of red) with three beds and foe glass block walls that showcased bright rainbow colors. The room also had large IKEA-like circle lights hanging from the ceiling. Side note: While I sat in the bed looking at this light, I realized for the first time that many of the rooms in the Big Brother house had waffle ceilings… I found that funny.

The third bedroom remained locked and, according to producers, would again be a “have not” bedroom. It’s hard to say what’s behind that door—but, for my super BB fans, they even covered the hole for the camera that can pan between both bedrooms—so there was definitely no peaking!

Kitchen/Dining Room

TV Guide gave you the first look inside these areas—the teal kitchen cabinet doors definitely catch your attention when you walk into this area. Beyond the flamingos waiting at the bottom of the stairs, there was not a lot that drew my attention.

One fun story: When we were cooking dinner in the kitchen, we went to use the microwave and learned that it wasn’t plugged in or even near an outlet. After asking the Big Brother gods why they would have a microwave nowhere near an outlet, I carried it (somewhat clumsily) to the other counter and set it in between the stove and sink. Needless to say, I found it enjoyable that it still sits there in the picture published in TV Guide. And to think, I thought I had no career in interior design…

“Cabana Room”

Well… contrary to what some fansites have posted, there are no coffins and spiders in this room—so let me be the first to “kill off” those rumors.

In the past we’ve seen this room as an exercise room and a spa room—it looks like this year it will mainly be used for games and naps. Before entering, an awning sticks out over the outside of the door. A large “sitting area” with tons of pillows takes up a majority of the room. Directly to the left of the door sits a fish tank.

Speaking of the fish tank, I imagine our “competition/nomination view” on the live feeds will again be a fish tank—and I bet this is the command center for it.

Bathroom

Unfortunately, this is the room I remember least about (it may have to do with the fact that I consider the bathroom like an office conference room—it’s only a place for business). I do remember while washing my hands the countertop was white with a rectangular sink. Also, per normal, a small seating area sat right behind the sink.

One interesting note: It was very odd to use the bathroom in the Big Brother house. First, it goes without saying that it’s somewhat uncomfortable to be wearing a microphone while you’re “taking care of business.” Secondly, it’s also very weird to use the bathroom when the door doesn’t lock—I never thought about it while I was there, but I never knocked before entering!

HOH Room

When you travel up the yellow staircase, the second floor again has a wallpaper collage-like scene on it (I don’t quite remember what it was of). In the sitting area, a rounded purple sitting area again allows players to play chess—which at the time, was missing a chess piece (let’s hope they found it).

The HOH room did not seem a lot different to me this year. Similar to last season, a collage-like scene of a crowd at the beach filled one wall, with the same clever paneling in front of it. A few drape-like cloths hung out from this, which I thought was very weird (and apparently very hard to describe). A big white shag rug took up a lot of the floor, and a desk for a computer sat in the corner. Interestingly enough, our inquisitive group opened it to find a whole manicure/pedicure set inside of it—and being the shy bunch that we were… we used it.

Again, I don’t remember a lot about the HOH bathroom either, but together, both the room and bathroom definitely were elegant and something worth fighting for in the game.

Backyard

The backyard looked very similar to last season. It had a mural that ran against the back wall—a summer, beach-like theme. The pool and hot tub were still there (and let me just say, the hot tub is A LOT smaller in person). The weight area was in its normal place, as were the washer, dryer, and pool table. The sitting area looked the same, with the same flower/ivy-like set-up on the wall behind the chairs.

Diary Room

The diary room was the coolest part of the house for me as a fan. My favorite part was… [Matt, you are not allowed to talk your about diary room sessions with other houseguests]. Well, it was worth a try… Needless to say, the area doesn’t look a whole lot different than last year. And I can tell you that I thought it got really toasty in there with all the lights!

CBS'S SUMMER SENSATION "BIG BROTHER" WELCOMES 13 NEW HOUSEGUESTS TO THE HOUSE ON THURSDAY, JULY 8

In a Series First, One Contestant Will Play the Game with One Goal in Mind - To Secretly Wreak Havoc on Their Fellow Houseguests

Below are the 13 Houseguests who will compete in the new season of BIG BROTHER:

Lane Elenburg, 24
Decatur, Texas
Oil Rig Salesman

Ragan Fox, 34
Los Angeles, Calif.
College Professor

Andrew Gordon, 39
Miami Beach, Fla.
Podiatrist

Britney Haynes, 22
Huntington, Ark.
Hotel Sales Manager

Kathy Hillis, 40
Texarkana, Ark.
Deputy Sheriff

Matt Hoffman, 32
Elgin, Ill.
Web designer

Hayden Moss, 24
Tempe, Ariz.
College Student

Enzo Palumbo, 32
Bayonne, N.J.
Insurance Adjuster

Rachel Reilly, 26
Las Vegas, Nev.
Chemistry Graduate Student/VIP Cocktail Waitress

Monet Stunson, 24
Glen Carbon, Ill.
Model

Brendon Villegas, 30
Riverside, Calif.
High School Swim Coach

Annie Whittington, 27
Tampa, Fla.
Bartender

Kristen Bitting, 24
Philadelphia, Pa.
Shoe Boutique Manager

For the first time in the history of the series, one contestant will not be playing to win the half million dollar prize. Instead, this Houseguest will play the role of the Big Brother Saboteur, whose sole mission will be to disrupt the lives of their fellow Houseguests.

Upon moving into the house on premiere night, Houseguests will discover that one of them is not really there to win the game, but rather to sabotage their fellow players. While the saboteur's identity will remain a secret to the Houseguests, America will learn his/her identity on Thursday, July 15, during the first LIVE show. If the Saboteur is able to make it to the halfway point of the game, a financial reward awaits. Fans can tune into the premiere on July 8 or visit http://www.cbs.com/bbtwist to learn more about how they can submit viewer suggestions.

This season, Houseguests will be surrounded by an Art Deco themed "Playground by the Shore." The Big Brother house will be accented with palm tree groves and walls of glass, while the exterior of the house is lifted straight from Miami's Ocean Avenue. The Art Deco theme continues in the living room with ultra-modern furniture, white accents, glass tables and glass along the walls. The Palm Bedroom features crisp white beds and neon green linens and pays homage to vintage Miami. The Sunset Bedroom, located in the rear of the house, is a glow of warm orange and bronze-hued décor where the walls are lined with curved glass blocks that were custom built for the Big Brother house.

Once again this season, Houseguests on the losing side of select competitions will be banished to the "Have Not Room," where luxury and comfort are non-existent.

LoL, lots of white people. I like the variety of ages though. Lots of people in their 30's this year.

I'll post my first impressions in a little bit after I'm finished sleuthing for information.

One of the things that makes Big Brother what it is is the fact that it is often times racially diverse. Having only one minority houseguest this season just rubs me the wrong way.

Thanks Kenny! Can't wait for your analysis!

I just want to say something up front: I am Orthodox Jewish, so first of all, if anyone has any questions during the season about that, shoot them my way lol, but also if this is what the "Amish" comparison was about... um, we're not. Amish. If you saw me on the street, you'd have no idea of my religion. (The men in my family do wear yarmulkes (small black velvet skullcaps) though.) Not sure if this contestant wears one, but if he's Orthodox, he probably does.

These people all look awful to me on first blush but maybe that's a good things because the people I like off the bat usually turn out to suck. LOL.

Maybe they are keeping the saboteur under wraps for now?
