SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!


There was talk about stocking the first (strike-spawned) winter edition of “Big Brother” with out-of-work celebrities, but it turns out not so much – unless you count 45-year-old Sheila Kennedy, 1983’s Penthouse Pet of the Year.

Everybody – including Kennedy – is single, and everybody except Kennedy is a twentysomething. The cast:

Chelsia, 21

James, 21

The theme for this winter edition is reportedly “‘Til Death Do You Part.” We’ll presumably learn what that means Tuesday, when both CBS’ “Big Brother” and Showtime’s uncensored “Big Brother After Dark” launch.

The CBS version of the show will run Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

    Til Death Do Us Part???

    by mose schrute

    CBS would never permit death matches. Will they be forced to get married in there? God damn you, Big Brother, stop making me tune in to sample your unholy wares!

    Bring on the DEATH!

    by darth girlfriend

    Some dig Idol. Some adore Supernanny. Some drink Biggest Loser as their cup of reality tea. But Big Brother is the show to rule them all. Now on to the frustrating RealPlayer sign-up procedure!!

    James looks like a real dipshit. Just like Puck

    by gqtaste

    like Puck was for REal World San Fransisco. I also hate that they've completly gone to the good looking hollow, empty souls once again. I've been watching the show since season two. And they have made so many mistakes to improve the show.

    gotilk, you think Amber and Jamika are mentally ill?

    by splungiest

    They're not mentally ill. They believe invisible people in the sky controlled their fate because they're really into Jesus. Happens a lot in these parts.

    Gotilk's post = madness

    by eyegore

    No, you don't get it because you're obviously not watching it anymore. You say all the characters are the same types, but we never got an Evil Dick or a Jen or an Eric until season 8. Who knows what we'll see this time? Also, you are obviously mentally ill because your post is like all the troll posts of the past and we all know that internet trolls are mentally ill people, so there ya go mr cliche. Also, documentaries all all the same. Showing stuff about something historical or whatnot, trying to portray it in an interesting way. Also, all TV shows are the same, with mostly the same character archtypes saying things to each other. Also, all media is the same, where you see or hear stuff that makes you think about stuff (or not). Why not just go outside and enjoy nature? Also, all nature is the same. A bunch of rocks with dirt and plants and stuff growing around it. Also, everything is the same...collections of atoms arranged in patterns that vibrate. Sooo boring. Why bother with anything when it's all the same?

    double eliminations

    by ninjachampion

    rumour is that big brother matched each player up with their soulmate, they will play together and be eliminated together. Will also be a shorter season.

    which characters are you talking about, gotilk?

    by darthuser

    Are you talking about Dick or Cail or Jen? They don't seem any crazier than members of my family; can you be more specific about which characters you're referring to?

    Reply to Talkback

  • Feb 06, 2008 10:43:59 PM CST

    only seven eliminations?

    by whoanecron

    that WOULD be a short season, especially since two teams need to be left at the end.

    And yes, some specificity on Gotilk's part would be useful. Is he talking about Eric the firefigher from Janelle's cast? I think that was more roid rage than true mental illness. Aside from him there was the knife guy from season two or something, but I think he was just a redneck goofing with his girlfriend.

    "'Til Death Do You Part" = Someone's gonna get murdered!

    Gotilk, you might give it another look

    by lisa bent

    Big Brother is not American Idol; it's a window into the human condition that only half a million in prize money can buy. Also, it's evolved a great deal since season one; each season seems to load more sophisticated strategies as viewers-turned-contestants grow more familiar with the game. Each season at this point is like a masters class in psychology.

    If you don't watch BB, don't complain

    by harrysnemesis

    The person who said they put mentally ill people on obviously doesn't watch.

    BB is other reality shows with gimmicks (such as survivor) stripped down to the bare essentials -- pure, driven greed, politicking and deception. A great study into the human nature.

    Yeah they'll never be able to match the Donatos -- world's biggest assholes.

    Dohato-haters for life!
