I was just thinking that the winter edition of BB will not be quite warm enough to use the swimming pool but they still can use the hot tub. The houseguests probably will be inside the house more especially during the evenings. I can see them hanging out at the round table or the living room.

Interesting, RFW your right

[RealityFreakWill]

I don't see how they will make summer BB10 work -- with only two months to redecorate the house and cast -- or maybe they will start the process while filming BB9 (the casting I mean)

Good question Michael! I'm guessing since BB9 is most  likely to air it's first episode on Thursday, February 7th and the finale will be on Tuesday, April 18th and then they probably will do casting calls right away in preparation for BB10 set to start airing on Thursday, July 3rd and the finale being on Tuesday, September 16th.

I found this old picture of Dick when he was a baby.

he hasn't changed much.

isn't it still hot in California during Feb/March/April

I live in So Cal and the weather is so unpredictable it could be in the 90's that time of year during the day but usually the nites are always cold at least by our standards the low 50's.  Last year we had one of our coldest winters and the nites went down to the 30's all of our palm trees died... it was so weird to drive around and see dead leaves on everyones palm trees.  But our days are around the 70's so if anyone sits out at nite they will be wearing jackets.  So they will probably do as you said Will be inside like a lockdown situation and find things to do inside.  Might get boring if they don't have things for them to do inside.  But if you think about if someone comes from lets say Minnesota they might be in shorts and a tank top at nite.  Our weather will be wonderful for some that come from Snowy,  below 0 temperatures. And since were in a drought we can only pray for rain...

[RealityFreakWill]

A reality check that it's coming soon!

CBS has updated its Big Brother 9 Application to state:

"BIG BROTHER 9
APPLICATION

At this point there is no absolute application deadline. However, Producers reserve the right to stop accepting applications without notice so Producers highly encourage applicants to submit applications as soon as possible. Semi-finalist interviews will be determined by Producers at their sole discretion."

With this statement, an early Big Brother is very likely to begin in February.

In a Time Magazine article this month, CEO Les Moonves stated in response to the writers strike, "We are fully prepared to offer alternative-programming options."

Just an FYI and I'm sure everyone knows this that Les Moonves is married to Julie Chen - when everyone was fired at CBS morning program a big stink was going on about Julie being the only one that wasn't let go... and it was right after they got married or right before... not sure about that.  Old news I know

[MamaTo4boys]

I didn't know she was married to the CBS guy but I thought she was getting a divorce?

[lilduke]

I'm ready! Let's all just pray that my husband doesn't mind me staying home with our soon to arrive baby so I can update day and night! I only wish it was starting sooner.

  OMG ! I am not sure if I am ready for this yet.    I haven't recovered from the last one yet.    I will either be on the boat with you all or I will be right here with you all.

Okay, You know I will be here.    Let's hope that they want to go to bed early though. No more Dick at night shows. I am not sure Peach nor I could do an all night show again

Big Brother: Alison Grodner Talks About The New Season
Report and Commentary by Big Sister
November 16, 2007 
CBS has made it official. There will be a 9th edition of Big Brother. Well duh! The announcement is kind of late in coming since they announced the casting schedule last week. I guess they deserve a little slack because the writer's strike has all the nets scrambling for content.

Big Brother casting director Robyn Kass made it official in her blog last week when she told us Big Brother would be "coming back a little earlier this year."

Although no official date has been announced. I'm thinking late January or early February. It will be interesting to see how they schedule it. If it remains the traditional Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday schedule that would put it in conflict with American Idol on Tuesday nights.

And if Survivor comes back early we would have Survivor and Big Brother on Thursday nights. And if The Amazing Race comes back early we would have The Amazing Race and Big Brother on Sunday nights. That would make winter a lot more fun!

CBS also confirmed that Julie Chen will reprise her role as the Chenbot and Alison Grodner will Executive Produce.

Grodner told the NY Daily News "We have been told by CBS to get ready for anything, so there's nothing that is certain at this point. It is a wait-and-see. We are preparing for anything. We really want it to stand out. We want it to be special, because we've never done something like this before. I promise you it will be different from any other 'Big Brother' you've ever seen."

On the subject of "America's Player" don't expect to see it again. Grodner told the Daily News "That's really hard to do twice. Anyone coming to be a part of 'Big Brother' this year would know about it and we'd hate to have people act differently because they think that the viewers are in control. That doesn't mean that it couldn't return in some other way, but doing exactly what we did again, no."

I told my family I was going to try out and they all said at once "you couldn't be gone for 3 months, what would we do" I felt I had a shoe in telling BB9 I needed to go to their house for 3 months so I could have a vacation
