Big Brother Twist Revealed!


From Variety:

"Competition skein's jackpot being increased to $1 mil

By JOSEF ADALIAN

CBS summer staple "Big Brother" is getting a million-dollar facelift for 2005 -- in more ways than one.

In addition to the skein's new digs (Daily Variety, May 6), exec producers Arnold Shapiro and Allison Grodner have engineered a twist to the game that could result in the contest winner walking away with $1 million. That's double the game's usual $500,000 jackpot.

Getting the coin won't be easy, however.

As part of their annual effort to reinvent the game of "Big Brother," producers have come up with a scheme in which every cast member of "Big Brother 6" will walk into the house with a ready-made alliance -- a best friend, co-worker or significant other.

However, each pair of players will be told they're the only two participants coming into the house with a partner -- even though there will actually be seven teams of two playing the game. Teams also will be told to keep their alliances secret -- at least if they want to win the big money.

"The incentive is (for partners) to get to the end of the game sitting side by side," said Grodner. "If they do, the winner will get $1 million and the second-place person will get $250,000. It's in their best interests to keep it a secret."

If a twosome doesn't make it to the finals, winner will get the usual $500,000, while the runner-up will snag a measly $50,000.

Viewers won't find out which players are partnered until the season's third episode (skein returns July 7). But Shapiro and Grodner already are expecting plenty of what latter calls "soap opera stories" to emerge from a house in which everyone already knows someone.

"These are people who already like each other, but the question is, will (the friendships) last until the end when money's involved?" Grodner said.

Producers are planning myriad mini-twists throughout the season as part of what they're calling "the summer of secrets."

"Every year we do something exotic," Shapiro said. "Last year it was a 'twin twist,' the year before it was the 'ex' factor. This year, there are a number of secrets involving the cast, involving the new house and involving the game. And like an onion, they'll be peeled away week after week throughout the summer."

One early twist will come early in the game when houseguests discover there are only 10 beds for the 14 of them. That's because the new two-story house contains a secret bedroom.

There also have been rumblings that producers might allow each week's "head of household" to maintain a blog, likely via CBS.com-- a first for a network reality show. But the Eye declined to confirm speculation about Web content related to the show, which has traditionally included a pay-per-view Web feed component.

Extreme makeover of the "Big Brother" house includes a second-level master suite (complete with balcony and private bathroom); a full-sized gym; and a new studio for host Julie Chen.

New digs were created by set designer Scott Storey ("Surreal Life"), who was charged with making the house "a character in the show," Grodner said.

Shapiro also credited "technical genius" Gene Crow for making sure the new house's control rooms and edit bays worked. "The fact that we're getting a signal (to CBS Television City) is a credit to him," he said.

New house boasts five extra cameras (for a total of 47) and 10 new mics (for a total of 76).

The 14 cast members are a particularly young lot: 10 are under 30, and the oldest is just 36. I CREDIT BB5BBQ FOR THIS LATE NIGHT BREAKINGNEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
I saw that spoiler....I think it's pretty cool. I wonder how long the houseguests will "last".


Who do you think will be the first houseguest voted out based on looks and his/her bio?? I think it will be Janelle or Kaysar.
 

Wow, all young and beautiful. I kind of wish there were some older folks or interesting folks. They all look the same to me.

I can't wait for it to start! This is all I look forward to all summer during re-runs!
 
I get so addicted to this show. I was a little worried that there had been no promos on TV up in Canada :confused3 . Then saw one last night, whew! I missed the walk through, but is there a clip on Morty's site? The spoiler is very interesting! Think back to last year and the effects of A & A after that was revealed.

Can't wait for the first episode. And even though I am a "reality" TV junkie, I can never keep up on the info on the board about the shows. :rolleyes: But will check back in often. :wave2:

I thought the same thing too when I saw the houseguests. I remember the first few years when they had people like Karen and "Chicken George" who were a little older. I'm so excited for it to start, I've been counting the days.

In the past, there has been very little promo until about a week - 10 days before it's start. They suprise the HG's and want them safely tucked away before any promo's start to keep them "pure". :angel: :teeth:
 
Thanks for the spoiler! That's going to be fun to watch unfold. :hyper: I'm so excited - this is my absolute favorite reality show. I did think the same thing about everyone looking very young and beautiful. Maybe they are going for more of a "real world" feel with the new house, young people, etc. No matter how old they are I'll be tuned in. :teeth:
 
One week from tomorrow and we will be getting our first Big Brother fix! I can't wait! :Pinkbounc
 
If history repeats itself, they should be entering the house on Monday. They've always entered on July 4th. :cool1:
 
seems to be several from Fl!! but I think I may have to root for Eric? from Boston!! the married fireman! :goodvibes

I LOVE big brother also!!! :Pinkbounc
 
Morty has some great tidpits posted on the site, including a clip of the new house.

I love Big Brother! I can't wait. I too am disappointed that it seems like every year the cast gets younger and hotter. I watch for the game play, not the sex appeal. Am I in the minority? I would like to see a little more to the game play than half naked 20 somethings taking turns hooking up. I can watch The Real World for that :)
 
Keep this bumped for the premiere on Thursday!
