Big Brother fans have been patiently waiting for their favorite summer addiction and it has almost arrived. For the uninitiated, each season CBS gussies up a television studio and creates a themed house and yard. They toss in a group of males and females (otherwise known as “hamsters”) and deprive them of decent food and outside influences. Throw in competitions, backbiting, conniving, drama, a grand prize winner, host Julie Chen, and voila: you have the summer reality hit Big Brother, where the head of the house rules, and someone is voted out each week. Season 12 begins Thursday, July 8, 2010, at 8:00 p.m. EST.
The Big Brother house guests were named on The Early Show, and once again there are a lucky 13 of them.
The 2010 house-arrest victims are: oil rig salesman Lane Elenburg, 24, podiatrist Andrew Gordon, 39, deputy sheriff Kathy Hillis, 40, college student Hayden Moss, 24, grad student/waitress Rachel Reilly, 26, high school swim coach Brendon Villegas, 30, shoe store manager Kristen Bitting, 24, college professor Ragan Fox, 34, hotel sales manager Britney Haynes, 22, web designer Matt Hoffman, 32, insurance adjuster Enzo Palumbo, 32, model Monet Stunson, 24, and bartender Annie Whittington, 27.
Each summer CBS adds a new twist to keep fans from becoming bored, and this season is no exception. One of the house guests in season 12 will not be competing for the prize, but instead is out to sabotage the rest of the guests and mess with their minds.
One of the favorite “shake-em-ups” was the Twin Twist, where identical twins Adria and Natalie played one-and-the-same person, and secretly switched places every three days. Then on season eight, “America’s Player” was introduced. One player was chosen by America to do certain tasks for them while inside the house, including having to vote out who America wanted. The “chosen one” was forbidden to reveal their identity to the other house guests.
This year for a fee, like always, die-hard fans can watch the house guests 24/7 on a live feed from within the house. Addicted fans can also grab the latest spoilers and house updates on their mobile phones. AimX Labs has created applications for the Blackberry, iPhone, Android and Palm Pre/Pixi, if you are so inclined.
