Big Changes for "Big Brother"

Hey, it worked for Survivor.
CBS has announced that the seventh installment of its house-arrested reality series Big Brother will be an all-star version, with viewers deciding which of the past players make it into the house.
Sort of.
Before fans get to weigh in, CBS and show producers will first whittle down contestants from the previous six seasons into a pool of 20, from which viewers will be able to select between 12 or 14 housemates to take their second shot at the game.
"This will be the most interactive Big Brother yet," exec producer Allison Grodner tells Variety. "Viewers will be getting involved more than in the past."
While producers didn't reveal in their press release Wednesday exactly how or when voting will take place--though the answers are likely online and soon--Variety reports that the process won't be entirely democratic, with producers retaining the right to up the dramatic ante by swapping out chosen players with those who aren't necessarily audience favorites.
Still, the increased audience involvement marks the first time the CBS show has allowed viewers to participate in the casting process.
While the method of how a player enters the Studio City, California, home has changed, the way they leave remains the same: The players themselves still have the honor of dismissing their fellow contestants each week. The grand prize remains $500,000.
Big Brother premiered on CBS in the summer of 2000 to decent ratings but poor reviews, prompting CBS to revamp the series from its Dutch origins. Big Brother has since become a solid summer performer for CBS.
Julie Chen will return to host the reality series' seventh installment, which will likely premiere in early July, taking over Survivor's Thursday time slot.

I'll post who I'd like to see in BB all stars later! cya, ruday :nitenite:
Jeffrey Scott:
Not having seen the first season, what changes were made?
Cole:
The first season is not listed on the CBS website. I find that interesting.
The main change was America voted off who was voted out of the house and now the housemates do. Obviously when America voted the nastier people got voted out and now the nastier people stay in longer (aka June and Allison)
Jeffrey Scott:
I suppose 'Vote For The Worst' would jump on board that if we did vote still.
