From RealityBBQ:

The Big Brother timeline of events...

February 2nd, 2008

Beyond stories we hear from semi-finalists that didn’t make the cut this year there shouldn’t be much news today.

February 3rd, 2008

Sundays are normally a quiet news day. A few newspapers might publish articles talking about February sweeps and CBS’s efforts to climb the rating totem pole with the winter edition of Big Brother 9.

February 4th, 2008

On January 28th eight reality TV reporters entered the Big Brother house for 12 hours of “Big Brother.” They were able to take photos and videos of the new house during the time they were in the house. They could not reveal what they saw until February 4th, or today. Expect to see websites like RealityWanted.net, EW.com, and others to post the images they captured on that day.

February 5th, 2008

Usually there is a magazine that gets first dibs on houseguest information. EW.com will probably post the names of the houseguests along with short bios (age, city).

February 6th, 2008

CBS will probably release more complete bios about each houseguests. We will probably also learn the twists – if there are any. Julie Chen will show footage she filmed in the house and reveal the houseguests on the Early Show.

February 7th, 2008

It’s my birthday and I don’t care what happens in the Big Brother world. May you all rot in hell.

February 8th, 2008

More video packages from the tv tabloids should start airing. The houseguests will probably enter the house today and the first HoH will be chosen.

February 9th, 10th, 11th , 2008

Nominations will already happen before the show premieres.

February 12th, 2008

Big Brother 9 premieres on CBS!

I'm so excited for BB9! I hope that since it's 'winter' (really though, how cold is winter in LA?) that the houseguests will do less sunbathing and more fighting, LoL.

Screw "Days." I'm over it. I'm all about BB for the next three months!

Can't wait for pictures of the new house -- hopefully on Monday. Hopefully it's not a giant eye-sore.

Since they said it would be a regular length season, I assumed we would get the regular number of houseguests, but it looks like they added two more! LoL

Either the finalists were so good that they couldn't choose just 14, or this is going to be part of some new twist. I heard a spumor (even before this commercial aired) that there would be 12 people in the house and then 4 people somewhere else in the house that the rest didn't know about.

I'm not sure what purpose that would serve, but it's interesting nonetheless! LoL There must be a few double eviction weeks this season.

Sixteen houseguests. Wow. It'll take forever to memorize their names! LoL The live cams are so frustrating for the first two weeks, because you can't tell one voice apart from another and it's like one giant cluster of confusion, LoL.

OMG!! Here we go!

Remember how reports said that members of the media were allowed into the Big Brother house last week for a 12 hour mini-Big Brother game? Well, they've now released the video of that game, and you can see the new house in it!

Of course, they weren't allowed to see all of the house, but this gives us a pretty good idea of what it'll look like. Definitely a log cabin/wintery theme. I love it! It looks so warm and cozy and... chlaustrophobic, LoL. I just don't think I like that big green couch. Eeek! It might grow on me, though.!

Here's the video!! Eeeeeeekkk...

Keep in mind, these are not the houseguests, just members of media that were in the house temporarily.

RealityBBQ!

Here are screencaps that I took from the video! :)

I can't believe that they actually have a fireplace! LoL One that they can use!

Also, from the video, it looks like they moved the gym outdoors. I wonder why? What's going into the old gym room? Questions, questions...

They're airing a "Soulmates" promo now.

I'm totally confused as to what it means. Perhaps they've given people secret partners and they have to try to take one another to the end? I don't quite understand, LoL.

"We've matched each of them with a soulmate! They'll compete together, and if they're not careful -- they'll be evicted together!"

This could either be very good, or VERY lame, LoL.

lol. i kinda like the idea of them having a "soulmate" they have to work with. 8 pairs of 2 (16). That way, at least initially, we can solve the double evictions by having a pair evicted each week until we get down to a reasonable amount of players.

Kinda makes sense, actually, if it ends up working out that way.

First comment... Allison looks like Rachael Ray! LoL Does she not?! Especially her mouth. It's like the same exact smile!

Chelsia looks like a straight up schemer, LoL. I love her Victoria Beckham-esque hairstyle.

Shelia, for some reason, reminds me of someone. I can't put my finger on it.

That hairstyle James is sportin' needs to go. Fugly!

Parker's a paparazzo? Awesome! Now he can know what it's like to be under the direct eye of cameras, LoL.

Adam looks like he needs to eat more fiber.

Natalie = slutbag with fake boobs.

Jen looks like a sweetheart!

Amanda looks fun! I think she'll jump right into the scheming and plotting. She just seems like that type, LoL.

Anyone suspect any father/daughter or ex-lovers teams?! Jen and Ryan both being from Columbus is rather suspicious. Hmm...

Quite a few cute guys this season. Ryan, Neil, Matt, Jacob, Joshua and Alex are all rather attractive. I think it'll be hard to tell them apart, though, LoL. Also, I think it'll be hard to tell Jen and Sharon apart for the first week or so.

Looks like a promising group, IMO!

Oooh, and notice... no Joey Butafucco! LoL!

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
