Ugh... a cliques twist!

Will they ever learn?!?!? I am trying to get excited about this season, but I just really hate this twist already!

I wish they would just take ordinary people from life and throw them together in the house. Most of these people probably have agents and are just looking to boost their careers.

Half of the fun on some of the prior seasons was seeing the younger contestants pitted against the older ones. They're all about the same age here and nobody looks overly exciting.

CBS has a video up of Julie showing the house. She shows the 3rd bedroom.....it looks miserable. Nothing in it except a couple of mats to sleep on. Also they will be competing to stay OUT of that room. I don't know if this was mentioned here before but the the floaties on the bed in the pool room are actually comforters. They look real!

That was my first thought! They have to sleep in a room with some kind of critters

You are probably right about the heat though!

Also on that video Julie says the shower on the right has no hot water and that the people who are in the undesirable bedroom will have to use that shower.

Part of an audio interview at another site with Allison Grodner:

“This is still, I want to stress, an individual game,” Grodner said. “But what we’ve created is a system is a system in which you want to vie to be in the in-crowd. If your group, if your clique, is in the in-crowd for the week by winning Head of Household… then it ensures your saftey for that week because you cannot nominate a member of your own clique. But ultimately… when you vote, you’re voting as an individual. So if it’s a member of your own clique and you haven’t ‘clicked,’ so to speak, you can still kick them out.”

She also explained another new change, turning the weekly food competitions into something she called ‘Have and Have Not’ competitions.

“This season we’re going to be revealing to the houseguests, instead of your traditional food competition, we have a ‘Have and Have Not’ competition,” she said. “There will be a group, that if they lose this competition, will be subject to the worse living conditions that we’ve probably had in Big Brother. That will include living in this really sparse, horribly cold, cold room. And having to take cold showers and, of course, subject to that week’s food restriction. This is like living on a block of ice in the middle of a room under bright lights that never turn off.”

As with many past seasons, Big Brother fans will able to have their voice in the house. This summer, viewers will vote on food restrictions for those named ‘have nots.’

“Starting in the second week… we’re going to put it to the vote, for the viewers to decide what the food restriction is,” she said. “Now the people on food restrictions, basically the ‘have nots,’ will of course be able to have slop and other food condiments that in the house as always. But they will add to that a food restriction that America has chosen. So that will be their main staple. Whether it be sardines, or lollipops, or chocolate, or squid, or whatever it is, we will put it out there for the viewers to suggest and vote.”

Well I like the idea that they can't nominate someone in their group but they can vote them off if nominated by someone else. Also I like the "have and have nots" competition....that its more than just food they are competeting for and that we can vote on another food item. I'm personally sick of watching people eat slop.

I love the new eco-friendly design! How about that shower for banishment people - cold water only all summer long! Brrrrh!
