Big Brother 6 - Official Discussion Thread
The newest season of Big Brother starts tonight.
Official blurb taken from the jokersupdates site:- A group of strangers lives together in a house packed with cameras and microphones recording their every move. Completely cut off from the outside world (except for the lovely Julie Chen) these contestants will compete in challenges and prizes. Each week, one HouseGuest is voted off. This year's twist is that friends, co-workers and significant others will play the Big Brother game as secret duos. Each secret team believes that they are the only pair in the house (They will be revealed to TV viewers during the first live broadcast on July 14). If they can keep their secret and are the last two people in the house, the winner receives $1,000,000, the biggest cash prize in Big Brother history, and the second place finisher takes home $250,000. If a twosome does not make it to the final two, the winner gets $500,000. Big Brother 6 will be full of surprises! There will be MORE contestants than usual, in a new BIGGER two-story house. The new house is being built in the same studio that Yes, Dear once called home. To accommodate the increased number of houseguests, the pool will be nearly twice as big as the old one! Exec producers Arnold Shapiro and Allison Grodner said the new digs will open up a slew of production possibilities. Julie Chen tells us "This summer you'll see some big changes. Stay tuned." BB6 starts July 7th - New episodes will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m, Thursday (Live Show) and Saturdays at 8 p.m. • 13-14 Houseguests • Cast is an interesting bunch of characters • Season of SECRETS and SURPRISES • A taller house with a very loft-like feeling to it • Constantly things to uncover and discover about their new home • May be opportunities for the fans to interact • This years Big Brother will include a house moderator. • Expect the Unexpected

Yup, looks like it could be a good episode. I get the distinct feeling however that this season is sponsored by manufacturers of silicone breast implants and golds gym.

I find it funny that the new house is built on Yes, Dear's old lot, since Jimmy from Yes, Dear was on a made-up season of Big Brother in one episode.
To go along with Daval's comment about breasts, silicone or otherwise, even the geek was ripped.

Hey, I want a couple overweight, sloppy, semi-rude people in the house. In other words, people like me! It's difficult to tell the blondes apart.
Howie already annoys me. Anyone else? And maybe I'm being a little sensitive, but nominating the Islamic guy on the first go round? Damn...

I always find it amusing that there are all sorts of alliances right from the get go on these reality shows. However it always, no matter what alliances are formed, comes down to boys vs girls. Eric the firefighter needs to take it down a notch. Dude, we get it, you think there are too many women, relax.

The $1,000, prize is a farce. Once one team mate is eliminated, the remaining partner is bound to spill the beans at some point. That's when everyone realizes that it's all teams (if they haven't already). It's good in theory, bad in practice. I think future BB needs to go back to the every man for himself setup. With that being said, I can't wait for the alliances to start piling up with the early "1/2 survivors" holding some real weight on the rest of the teams.
The buff and busty concept is fine by me. Always has been, always will be. Call me simple.

I've watched in years past but I missed the opening episode. I'll have to catch the later ones. BB is the only reality show I've ever watched faithfully.

Was a good episode. Them finding that room was kind of neat. I don't think I'll be too upset at all to see Ashlea leave although she isnt very hard on the eyes. Noones really come out as the Dr. Evil character yet this year so there's noone I really would like to see kicked out.
The identity of the secret partners is listed in spoiler text below:- Spoiler: The identity of the secret partners is as follows:- Eric and Maggie Sarah and James Janelle and Ashlea Howie and Rachel Ivette and Beau Kaysar and Michael April and Jennifer

I agree Daval. I'll be sad to see Ashlea go just because she's pretty amazing looking. Still, I'd rather Kaysar stayed in the house.
How did you find out who the pairs were? Do you know how they're related? You rock!

I guess i should start posting here, I'm totally ashamed about watching Big Brother, due to the fact that I'm a pretty outspoken anti-reality TV advocate... but I can't get enough.
I missed the first episode, but I'm watching it from now on. |

I wish the editors would show what she was actually doing in the room, it was all one sided with Rachel assuming she was snooping but they didnt actually show her doing anything, did they?

Having said that, I think it was bad strategy for Rachel, getting HoH and PoV in the same week. Better to throw the PoV than make people look at you as this ultra-competitive player, as I think she did last night.

The Jen thing was a non-issue until she unlocked the door. If it was the need for a moment of privacy while using the bathroom, big deal. But she unlocked the door. Of course I think Rachel over reacted.
I will be the first to say that unless the veto is used more than once this season, I would eliminate it all together. I am tired of the "ooh - are they going to use it" editing of the show and they never use it. If I had the inclination, I would research the number of times it has been used. I would estimate that in recent seasons you average less than two times per season. I'm still going to watch it every time - and be upset every time they edit it to get me hooked. (Hi, my name is BonesCPA. I am a lemming.)

D'oh! I had to be gone last night and I forgot to tape the show! Grrrr! Actually, I'd be more upset if it had been further along in the game, at this point, things aren't too dramatic. How'd it go?

The BIG BROTHER HouseGuests determine the fate of the two nominees, ousting Ashlea, the 22-year-old fashion design student from Plantation, Florida, in a not-so-subtle shove out the BIG BROTHER door. Kaysar, on the other hand, is feeling the love from his BIG BROTHER bros. But nothing is certain in the BIG BROTHER house as the games begin all over again.
ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE? Changing plots, plans, strategies and alliances keep us guessing as we approach the first Eviction of the BIG BROTHER 6 season. Ashlea appeals to Howie, while Janelle looks for support of the sisterhood alliance from April. Eric's riled by concerns over Michael and Jennifer's perceived closeness. Creating dubious drama over the situation, Eric suggests excluding Michael from their alliance, but Kaysar defends him. Kaysar warns Michael of the dissention. In a not-so-innocent move, Michael seeks Eric's advice about Jennifer. Eric plays along, but immediately reports, "Someone scurried like a rat to Michael and told him what went on at the table". Irked, Eric confronts Kaysar about Michael's conversation. Kaysar admits to the tip-off, wanting to be fair to Michael. Eric cautions April about the deception. He warns the alliance between James, Michael and Kaysar also needs to be shaken up, lamenting, "Excuses: everyone's got one, and they all stink!" We get the trust about living on PB&J from Ivette, and Howie spills on the truth of life in the house with eight gorgeous girls. We are privy to last-minute contemplations from Ivette, Sarah and Janelle over who should stay and who deserves to get the boot. I'VE GOT A SECRET, AND I'M GONNA KEEP IT! We get the dish on the secret pairs as the 14 HouseGuests reveal their sidekick's identity. Ivette excitedly comes clean about herself and Beau: friends for years, they are the TWIST! We see them sambaing their way across a Florida beach. But their secret may not be so well kept after all, as we hear the housemates figuring out their connection in the backyard. Michael and Kaysar admit to a six-year friendship. They are quick to deduce that they may not be the only pair, especially after Kaysar lets Michael in on the discovery of the Ivette-and-Beau connection. Michael asks if there could be several twists this season. Then it's Maggie's turn to acknowledge Eric as her covert counterpart. We see them in their real-world scrubs laughing and joking, a happy glimpse into the "ordinary" lives away from the colorful, well-lit BIG BROTHER house. According to Eric, their strategy of "lie, lie, lie, deny, deny, deny" is working wonders for them. "We are the Twist!" James declares, admitting that he and Sarah are a real-life couple who have been dating for four months. Oh, and they are in LURVE. Ah, the hubris of youth. Well, yes James, you are A twist, but not the only twist. April and Jennifer proudly announce that they are sorority sisters from the same town. April suspects other twists going on in the house; perhaps other secret pairs? When Ashlea walks in with the same track pants as Janelle, sorority-sister Jennifer is all over the connection. I mean, nobody wears the same outfits, unless maybe they are working together, right? Ashlea and Janelle bring us in on their former roommate history, but are keeping it secret from their housemates. Not sure how well that's working when they start wearing the same track pants. Rachel reveals that Howie and she are friends from home. How would anyone pick their teaming, as they are so different? Howie shares her confidence, adding "no one would ever guess that a decent, clean-cut girl like her would go out with an obnoxious, good-looking pig like me!" We get the dish from Rachel on being the first HoH, before heading into the Diary Room. The HouseGuests ask, is being shallow enough of a reason to evict, or is being rumormonger a far more serious charge? LOVERS LAMENT WHILE FRUSTRATIONS PENT Sarah says they are hiding their relationship well. Stolen kisses in the shower and secret hand signs worthy of a Major League catcher communicate their true feelings. With so many beautiful bodies scantily clad in summer gear, Sarah's insecurities threaten to expose their secret. With admirable fortitude, she keeps it together as James flirts with the other females to keep everyone guessing. But when Sarah voices her insecurity, asking James, "If I wasn't here, would you be with these other girls?" James is direct and to the point in his response: "Have you seen these other girls?" Is there trouble in paradise? The eviction votes seem to be split between those wanting to rid the house of the high-maintenance brat, and those seeking to exterminate the tattle-tale rat. THE RAT OR THE BRAT? When the Nominees make their final statements, each of the condemned is all smiles, but suspecting the outcome that follows. Julie announces that by a vote of 9-2, Kaysar is safe, and Ashlea is out. The farewells are as brief as Ashlea's stay, with the HouseGuests already thinking about the impending HoH competition. Julie's post-mortem interview includes Janelle's pre-taped farewell as she bids her best buddy adieu. Julie then reveals to Ashlea that all the HouseGuests are paired up. FAST AND EASY PROVES JUST THAT! The HoH competition gives a new HouseGuest the chance at ultimate power. The Fast & Easy competition is based on speed and correct and incorrect answers to a series of questions. The last person standing at the end is the new HoH. After some brain-busting questions and blank expressions, Eric emerges as the new HoH. Will Eric use his power as HoH for good or evil? With such a powerhouse competitor as the new HoH, anything is possible and nothing is guaranteed. Then again, it's just another day in the BIG BROTHER house. Don't miss the intrigue as more secrets are revealed on the next episode of BIG BROTHER 6, Saturday, July 16, at 9 pm ET/PT, only on CBS. Courtesy of CBS - big brother website

A couple of teams have already figured out that they aren't the only ones. Eric and Maggie are one of them. I have a feeling two team mates are going up this week. The question is - which ones.
My question is: anyone have any thoughts on what is in the gold safes?

I'm thinking one of them will be a car or something to whoever can get it open (they give a car away every year, don't they?). the second may be a ticket to the emmy's, and third could have a 'safe from nominations for one week' card.
those are purely my guesses though.

Kayser is the man, so nice to see that ass Eric being up on the block, he tried to take control of the house and got screwed, after he screwed other people. Then to mention the Koranan, what an idiot, it's a game if he doesn't think someone's going to screw him over, he should have stayed away from the game. Hopefully Yvette is the next to go she annoys the hell out of me.

I totally agree, I have to applaud Kaysar for pulling that on Eric, the asshole had it coming. And yeah, Kaysars definately one of the smartest in the house, Janelle surprised me though. I thought she was going to be another Holly, but shes a lot smarter than she seems.

The chess match was great, as the ones on the "other" side of the alliance saw the plot come to life. It's moments like that make BB worth worth watching. My wife and I like Eric until he showed his true colors last week when he came unglued...he deserves to get the boot...
I agree about Yvette, she just needs to shut up... |

Who the hell are these idiots that think they're in the house to have fun and make friends? Ivette talking about if Cappy (and I've never heard a dumber name) leaves the house she doesn't know what she'll do. Well moron, he was going to have to go someday. You can't win half a mil with him still in the house, can you?
Finally, someone said what I've always thought. When Kaysar and Maggie were having their private talk, Kaysar said he thought she was great, but this is a game and he has to make some moves. Hooray! Someone who can finally seperate their feelings from the game! Heard the "sheep" are complaining that the POV comp was chess and that that's what Kasar, James and the rest do... play chess. They feel BB made it so James could win POV. I call bullshit. The game had little to do with chess and anyone with a little brain power could figure out how to win it. The fact that the game was basically two against four only speaks to the brain power of those involved from your team and the fact you've been acting like a bunch of bullies and folks didn't want to take it anymore. Save your tears for when your ass is booted from the house.

Gold Safes?
Im betting one has about $10,000, one has food privelages, and the other has another clue to something. I think Kaysar was brilliant as HoH. He puts up Maggie and James for eviction. He makes James believe that everyone is out to get him. He gets James to admit his partnership with Sarah. Then he creates a six person alliance, that seems very powerful at the moment. They agree to win the veto and put Eric up for eviction, definitely a major threat. I cant wait to see how the votes go. Either way Eric is screwed. He's either gone for good, or his partner and unconditional ally is gone leaving him with a big weakspot. Its a good thing Janelle was hooking up with Michael, Kaysars partner. Now Janelle and Kaysar are pretty much inseperable as allies. The both lost their partners, and were weak, but have now combined to make a new partnership giving them more power. I think it will be easy for Kaysar to allign with James and Howie, but im worried about their women. You just cant trust a woman in a game like this. Anyway, it all depends on HoH. Could go either way. |

The best part of this week was Maggie's reaction to Kaysar saying that he got the bigger fish - her partner. It was a classic BB moment.
As with every BB, the HOH competition is the key. If the new alliance wins, they can continue on with their plans. If they don't then James will be the target. And I have shed no tears that Eric is leaving. ("Give me my ball back, I'm going home. Oh, and you all suck anyway.")

Damn! I missed Saturday's episode and the HoH comp on Thursday. I hate that maggie won. Im rooting for Kaysar, and now he's on the block. Hopefully he will win the veto. So I read that they got the last number for the combo to one of the gold safes. Did they open it. What was inside?
