THE ULTIMATE FALL PREMIERE CROSSOVER!

"BIG BROTHER 6" MEETS "TWO AND A HALF MEN"

TWO AND A HALF MINUTES OF "TWO AND A HALF MEN" TO BE FEATURED ON HIT REALITY SHOW AS VIEWERS ARE GIVEN A THIRD CHANCE TO CAST THEIR VOTE FOR THEIR FAVORITE BIG BROTHER CONTESTANT

CBS Reality Series to Offer a Third America's Choice Vote Through CBS.com and Text Messaging via Mobile Phones

Los Angeles -- For the third time this season, BIG BROTHER 6 will put the power back into the hands of the viewers on Thursday, Sept. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET, delayed PT) when host Julie Chen announces a third America's Choice vote on the reality series.

In the ultimate fall premiere promotional crossover, BIG BROTHER 6 houseguests and viewers will get the chance to cast their ballot for their favorite remaining Houseguest to leave the Big Brother house and spend the day on the set of the hit comedy series TWO AND A HALF MEN. Viewers can vote on CBS.com or via text messaging on their mobile phones. Votes will be tabulated during a specified time window following the episode's broadcast. CBS will offer the text messaging option as well as downloadable wireless applications relating to BIG BROTHER 6, through a partnership with GoldPocket Wireless.

TWO AND A HALF MEN, currently the Number One comedy on television, is about men, women, sex, dating, divorce, mothers, single parenthood, sibling relations, surrogate families, money and, most importantly, love. More specifically, it's about the lives of two brothers, one brother's son, and the many women who surround them. Charlie Harper (Charlie Sheen) is a well-to-do bachelor with a house at the beach, a Mercedes in the garage and an easy way with women. His casual Malibu lifestyle is interrupted when his tightly wound brother, Alan (Jon Cryer), and Alan's son, Jake (Angus T. Jones), come to stay with him. TWO AND A HALF MEN will have its third season premiere on Monday, September 19 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

As part of the TWO AND A HALF MEN set visit, the America's Choice winner will be whisked out of the Big Brother House and taken via limo to meet Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and the rest of the cast and watch a taping of the show. Following the taping, the houseguest will return to the Big Brother house and rejoin fellow contestants.

During the Saturday, September 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) broadcast of BIG BROTHER 6, voters will be informed of the outcome and watch a special broadcast of two and a half minutes of TWO AND A HALF MEN, as well as a recap of the winner's visit to the set.

Go Janie GO!

[carom3d]

no way..... Please not  vote janelle to win.. because  if  howie is still here... then howie and janelle will be working with IV to get maggie out, while maiggie is visitn charlies set


remmy, last time marvon won, went to Y & R's set then back.... vote marvin out... i dont want to see that happend like janelle...

[Mandoli]

It's going to be Janie. The Friendship will be pissed again.

[Trevor]

I'm sure Charlie Sheen would appreciate it if we voted Janelle............as would Page Six of the New York Post as throwing Janelle on a movie set with Charlie Sheen is like throwing a chewie at a dog.

[puddin]

The majority and message boards rule..I'd put money down that Janie will win  =]/ .
Howie will be gone anyway .. let Janie get a day out of the house from the witches then come back and brag about meeting Charlie Sheen  |#'

[Mandoli]

Of course, I'm not sure whether Janie should be the one to win this. She's won everything and she's already a target with the remaining members of the Friendship in the house.

Voting for Ivette's out of the question.

I might as well consider voting for Maggie on this one. It sort of evens everything out a little bit with the people remaining.

[puddin]

But shes already the Target is the point.. I don't think winning the AC could hurt her ..it would probably make the HG's deciding on the final 2 even more so in Janies favor .. we pretty much submised that Janie cannot win the 500 , 000 anyway with the jury votes , Janie is the one that a Dork needs to ensure sitting next to to win BB6 .
She can probably only win if indeed its Americas Choice ..but thats my dream soo  </] ?

[Mandoli]

If a Friendship member is sitting next to a Friendship member at the end, it's going to be the same result as Ivette/Maggie/April sitting next to Janie. One of the Friendship will win.

If Janie doesn't win Head of Household this week and she wins America's Choice, she's gone (unless she wins the Veto to take herself off of the block). But this is the FINAL Veto, so this may be the one that nobody can win.

[point17]

thats pretty cool, so obviously janelle though! its gonna be great to see the nerd herds faces when they see theyve lost AGAIN lol.

i think ivette knows she needs to keep janelle to win, as does maggie. april knows she needs janelle or ivette to win.  the most dangerous player in this house right now, honestly, is april as she has the biggest chance of winning, so as long as she doesnt get HOH tomorrow, the other 3 SHOULD vote to evict April

[Mandoli]

Voting begins at 12am EST and ends at 12pm EST. We only get 12 damn hours!

I will vote according to who gets Head of Household.

[shadia]

Go Janie Go! They will talk about her whether she is on set or not!  {l{ ^/^
