Because the writers' strike rages on, the Eye net has prepared a winter edition of this summer reality staple. Rumor has it that this ninth edition may run just six weeks, instead of the usual three months. Casting is currently under way!

Six weeks? If they cast fourteen people, there would have to be quite a few double evictions if this were true...hmm.

No more America's Player.

For 'Big Brother,' the winter of new content

The writers' strike has CBS ramping up for a new season of "Big Brother."

Indeed, the network will be casting for new players here Sunday in anticipation of getting a winter edition of the summer show rolling early next year, should the strike continue.

"We have been told by CBS to get ready for anything, so there's nothing that is certain at this point," "Big Brother" executive producer Allison Grodner told the Daily News yesterday. "It is a wait-and-see. We are preparing for anything."

New York auditions are taking place Sunday at 243 W. 30th St., third floor, from noon to 8 p.m., and on Dec. 1 at Duff's Brooklyn, at N. Third St. and Kent Ave., from 7 to 10 p.m.

"Big Brother" has always been a summer staple, but the opportunity for a prime midseason premiere means producers will be pulling out all the stops.

"We really want it to stand out," said Grodner. "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."

So don't expect another "America's Player," the stunt incorporated last summer that gave viewers a say in the outcome.

"That's really hard to do twice," Grodner said. "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."

Longtime "Big Brother" host Julie Chen will also be returning to the program, regardless of whether it comes back midseason or next summer.

This is good news for me considering that I rooted against the fan favorite during BB8 (which would have been Dick). I know he had his fair share of people disliked him, but most of the outcomes of the votes for America's Player benefitted him.

"BB9 finalists....

Thanks, once again, to everyone who auditioned for BB9! We had a fantastic turn out and the decisions were tough.

This is to inform you that all BB9 finalists have been contacted already. If you did not receive a call remember.... just because you're not right for the mix this season doesn't mean you won't be right for the next season. Don't give up! Thanks for your support of the show!

According to an ad on TAR tonight BB9 starts Feb 9th! It'll be interesting to see how the hamsters spend their time if they can't sun all day. Or will it be hot enough in February/March/April for bathing suits in Cali?

I live in Cali, and it's pretty cold right now. But then again, I live in NorCal, and the future housemates will be in SoCal, so it could be different down there.

it looks like the average temps for studio city, california in february are 50's at night and 70's in the day.

We will probably see hamsters from colder climates sunning themselves. I know I would love to just sit in the sun in 70 degree weather.
