"Big Brother" returns

[Brent]

very spoilery? Is that a new Brent word?
Very creative way to hide the info though. I am not reading it. lol
I like to see it as it unfolds on t.v.

CBS turned off the audio. Someone really screwed up since we pretty much learned everything.

Awesome, thanks

Ug, I can't believe Allison and Diane are back in the house

[tropicana]

See how though this show is specifically designed to make people in the house despise each other! Gotta love it!
To have not one, but two head of households (HoH)... with equal power.. wow! It's just asking for trouble.

Ratings were a bit disappointing considering all the hype(though it still won a very weak hour). On par with last year's premiere. The 8pm timeslot is not helping.

"Big Brother" began its "All-Star" season with a 4.9/9 at 8 p.m. ABC came in second for the hour with "Master of Champions," 3.5/7. Reruns of "My Name Is Earl," 3.8/7, and "The Office," 2.9/5, put NBC in third. FOX averaged 2.6/5 with an hour of "That '70s Show." UPN's "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Love, Inc." tied for fifth with The WB's "Smallville."

The show skews young though which not many CBS shows do...

Yeah I don't like Allison, but I think she will make it interesting if she makes it past this eviction. I do however like Diane. I just watched it last night and it sure did get cut throat right away. Looks like this season is going to be really juicy.

how do people get evicted in US version?

Each week there's a HOH(Head of Household). They get their own private room and other perks, but they are also responsible for nominating 2 people for eviction. A few days later there is a veto competition. The winner of the veto can use it to save one of the nominees, forcing the HOH to nominate someone else in their place. The HOH, the two nominees, and three people of their choice compete. If the person who wins it doesn't use it, the nominations remain. After that, the HG's vote(except for the HOH and the two nominees). The person with the most votes is evicted. If there's a tie, the HOH casts the deciding vote. Then immediately after the eviction, there's a new HOH competition, and it starts all over.

[O Town]

Usually the HOH (head of household) puts 2 people up on the block at the beginning of the week. Those 2 people have a chance to compete in a veto challenge and if they win they can take themsleves off the block or someone else can use the veto on them as well to take them off and then HOH has to nominate someone else to take thier place. Then the rest of the house at the end of the week votes on who stays and who goes of the 2. This year they switched it up some and now there is 2 HOH's every week. And if those 2 can't agree on the 2 they want up on the block then they themsleves will be up on the block for eviction, so it should get interesting. Hope all that make sense.

different to ours then

ours works like this

each person in the house votes

2 pts for person A

1 pt for Person B

after its all tallied up and the 3 people with the highest go into the public vote (sometimes the 3rd person can have same pts in that case they all face public poll)

where the Australian Public ring in or text message the housemate they want to vote for eviction

so ultimately the public decides who stays

its cool keep all the annoying people to live with in and evict the boring people who fly under the radar

The live feed watchers are complaining about how boring everyone has been so far. They just started on Thursday...

[AussieMark]

this season we had a insider. basically his aim was to make the house fail their tasks.
basically this resulted in them living off staples

but he got a decent meal for doing it

if he passes he gets exempt from nomination

if he fails Big Brother puts him up for Public Vote regardless

[TexasStooge]

Very interesting.
