Yes, I do still exist. I'm still in a wheelchair these days. But I think the hospital stays are over. I apologize for my absence, but this has been a rough road. Anyway ... the show itself seems to be a bit on an odd path as well.
- It will be one of the shortest seasons, if not the shortest, at 74 days. I believe only the winter season during that writers' strike was shorter. The finale is set for September 28.
- There has been no house tour or cast reveal as of yet, four days before the show.
- The cast reveal is set for Tuesday, the day before the premiere.
- There has been no mention of a house tour.
- Julie Chen-Moonves remains the hostess.
- The schedule remains the same as previous years with the the exception of a live move-in 90-minute premiere -- Sunday 8PM ET/PT, Wednesday 8PM ET/PT, and Thursday nights 9PM ET/PT.
- The live feeds should be starting after the premiere finishes airing on the West Coast. But don't hold me to that. The Live Feeds have an announcement posted that they will begin at 12:30AM ET on July 7. Can we trust them after last year's erroneous announcements? Hmm.
- I will be doing a live-blogging blog party post for the season premiere at 8PM ET on Wednesday, July 6.
- If people want it, I can set up a discussion post for The Challenge which airs at 9:30PM ET after BB. I won't be live-blogging that show but probably will make some commentary.
- As usual, I will be covering the live feeds. Since they will start so late here on the East Coast, my first live feeds report probably won't be until Thursday morning.
- There will be a blog pool and I will set up a sign-up post specifically for it. Don't ask to get in it on this post! The actual blog pool put together (by the esteemed SueGee) will be later than usual due to the very late cast reveal.
That's all for now.
