BB11 Twist Revealed

All kinds of news today -- I'm still working on my intro posts for the hamsters.

Meanwhile, from a CBS Press Release:
07.01.2009
CBS INTRODUCES 12 NEW HOUSEGUESTS AND REVEALS A SURPRISE TWIST THAT EVERYONE CAN RELATE TO WHEN "BIG BROTHER" PREMIERES THURSDAY, JULY 9, ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

The Houseguests Will Be Going Back to High School as They Are Divided into Memorable High School Cliques - Popular, Athletes, Brainiacs and Off-Beats

A Mystery 13th Houseguest Will Also Join the Game

House Guests To Compete in House That Has Been Transformed into Green, Eco-Friendly Living Machine

What group did you fit into in high school? That is the question 12 strangers will face on the season premiere of BIG BROTHER, Thursday, July 9 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

12 strangers will move into the Big Brother house and learn that they will be ‘kickin it old school' this summer, high school to be exact. The House Guests will be shocked to learn that they will be playing the game in one of four familiar high school cliques - popular, athletes, brainiacs and off beats. They will compete for food, safety from eviction and luxury prizes as part of their clique.

They will also be surprised to discover that a mystery 13th Houseguest is coming to the BIG BROTHER house, to join the game and give an advantage to one of the cliques.

"You may have graduated, but the truth is we never leave high school and this summer we are going to prove it," says Allison Grodner, Executive Producer of BIG BROTHER. "From the brains to the jocks to the off-beat, everyone will be able to identify to one of these cliques, giving the viewers a group to root for and against from the very beginning. The division will cause instant drama."

High school? Now I'm going to have nightmares! Your thoughts?

I think the girl with the PHD will probably go in the first few weeks although she would be great in the game. The older guy wont last long either. The guy that knows all the winners for every season will probably open his mouth way to early.

I would venture a guess most will say they belong to the popular group. But I would surmise they're off beats with a few brainiacs. The Athletes will probably be mostly guys, so guys competing against everyone else in the house. Wasn't that how it ended up last year?

High School. I don't want to go back to High School. And someone mentioned that Sheila may be the 13th guest (coming back). Oh my, say it isn't so. Well she really did need to be educated as I recall, but she had already gotten on my last nerve. She never shuts up.

Sally said...

Margo, I'd like to participate in the pool party too, please.

I hope I like the players in the braniac group--I think I want to root for them.

Laurie said...

Popular, Athletes, Brainiacs and Off-Beats? Hmmmm, I was a Brainiac with those choices. I definitely wasn't it the popular group, certainly not athletic and too conservative to be off-beat.

I will root for the Brainiacs and try not to remember my own high school years.

Mystery guest? I've heard a few names passed around. We shall see!

PDX Granny said...

Hey, where are the nerds and wall flowers?? That was my group!

Sasha said...

Hi All...Margo, I love to swim...please add me to the pool? Ummmmm, I've never been in it so a very brief explanation of how it works would be SO welcome :) Thanks!

As to high school, been there, done that, it was ok, don't wanna go back.

Must we??

And yet, I will be here again, addicted as usual...

Posting here as well in case there is still time. Margo can I get into the pool?
My WV is "shant" as in "I promise I shan't splash anyone!"

joy n said...

Not sure I fit any of those categories either. I was always the quiet one in the background. Guess I haven't changed much, eh?

PlaidChick said...

Sydney

What are the chances it would be Dick? Not likely me thinks

Margo:

What are the pool rules, besides being clothed?! :P

Word verfication: BOLLAR LOL

PlaidChick said...

OK I'm offended..sort of...

Where are the band people? Are we part of the geek squad?

I had some good times in HS, but I was part of *huge* band 350 people.

We knew this twist would show up sooner or later. I think ex-coworkers would of been rockin.
