Okay, so maybe not, but it should still be fun to find out who all of the BB15 HGs will be later this week when CBS lifts the ban on releasing these details. Along with that we expect to find out what the house will look like when we see video and pictures from this year’s “Media Day” event featuring a day of adventures and competitions inside the house.

We still don’t know anything more about the “No-Floater” twist for this summer, but maybe the spread of the Big Brother 15 cast will help make that clearer for us.

What are you most anxious to find out this preseason for Big Brother? The twist, the house, or who all these new houseguests will be?!

Floaters, grab your… wait, just get out. So says, Big Brother 15 host Julie Chen. Julie revealed on Wednesday that the 2013 summer twist would involve a way to eliminate floaters, or perhaps floating itself, from the game.

Of course squashing floating is easier said than done and some suspect this twist could fall flat, but with so little information it’s hard to be sure just yet.

One possibility for Big Brother 15 that’s starting to sound more reasonable is the idea that HGs will enter the game already in teams of some size. Smaller teams could lead to a quick return of floating if say the pair was cut in half by an elimination, so what if it’s just two large factions competing against one another? That could fit Julie’s hint, but it’s all just speculation until premiere night!

What do you think Julie Chen’s hint could mean for the Big Brother 15 season?

The biggest question we heard from many fans was whether or not “After Dark” would lose its uncensored privileges when moving from a premium channel to basic cable. “Fans aren’t going to miss out on any context or hot moments happening on “After Dark,” said Leslie Furuta [TVGN executive].

It was also revealed that there will be no commercials for the first week of BBAD. After that there will be only short commercial interruptions akin to what we saw happen on SHO2 in past seasons.

TVGN’s executive says the experience will be “literally no different” for the 2013 summer season. Of course this isn’t convincing all fans, some of which are sure it will be a disaster. We’re pretty convinced though and aren’t worried about this channel change especially since it now means people can watch “After Dark” for free without having to subscribe to Showtime anymore.

What do you think about the news about Big Brother 15‘s “After Dark” shake up this year? Are you excited to watch BBAD for free this time around?

Here’s how it works. The Feeds let you watch inside the Big Brother house and pick between four different camera views for an uncensored view of the real game going behind those walls. The Live Feeds provide flashback features so you can watch any events you missed during the day. Of course with the mobile access you can catch the action no matter where you go with your smartphone or tablet. Bonus!

There are big changes for “Big Brother 15″ this summer on CBS and with so much going on it’s easy to lose track of what all will be different when the season premiere hits. Let’s run through what we know so far for the 2013 season.

The most important change right now is an early premiere for Big Brother. Instead of starting in early July per its usual routine, CBS has moved up the Big Brother 15 start date to June 26, 2013. That’s about two weeks earlier than what we’ve come to expect. But don’t worry, they’re making up for it by running the season longer. What? Oh yeah.

A new promo for Big Brother 15 from CBS says this year will be “starting earlier, going longer.” Now that could either mean the season finale is later than normal, or it’s right on the usual mid-September end date but with the early premiere that translates to a longer season.

Next up for changes is the crucial Big Brother Live Feed. “Crucial” because without them you’re missing most of the real game. For the past 13 seasons we’ve watched the Feeds on Real’s SuperPass, but that won’t happen this year. CBS ended their relationship with Real to self-manage the subscription service.

As for what that means regarding pricing, early bird specials, affiliate programs, well we just don’t know yet. The season premieres is less than four weeks and CBS remains mum on details. We hope they’re working up something great though!

The latest announced change for Big Brother 2013 will be the “After Dark” series. These late-night broadcasts aired on Showtime’s SHO2 as a nightly, uncensored, three-hour peek instead of the BB house. That’s going to be a lot different this year as CBS is moving “Big Brother After Dark” from SHO2 to its newly acquired network, TVGN (TV Guide Network). Along with the channel swap the nightly shows will be reduced to two-hours and run from midnight to 2AM. We also suspect “After Dark” will now require some level of censorship as TVGN is not a premium channel like Showtime which can air more mature content late at night.

All in all these are some significant changes for Big Brother 15. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that all these rapid modifications to our usual BB fare work out for the best. What do you think of CBS’ decisions?

It’s suspected the move from July to June was made in part to undercut ABC’s knockoff reality series “Glass House” which continues to be associated with legal battles between the two parties. No worries there on our part though, we’re clearly in the Big Brother corner on this one.

Preparing for the early season premiere, casting for the summer series 15th season will end this week as production will sit down with the casting team to review applicants and scouted talent to form the next cast of HGs.

According to Julie Chen this season will feature the “most HouseGuests ever” as CBS continues to seek out even more applicants. Of course we’ve heard the “most ever” line before when last season tied a previous season for the title of “most.” How many things can be the “most?” Unless Julie got sloppy with her words, and we doubt that, then we’ll be seeing at least sixteen HGs if not more.

Considering the early start planned for Big Brother 15 it seems likely that production will need more cannon fodder for early eliminations to keep the schedule afloat.

Diehard fans should take note of a major change for the 2013 season of BB. After thirteen long years working with RealNetworks CBS has decided to cut out on their own and will be handling the Live Feeds directly for BB15.

Are you ready for Big Brother 15 to start up on June 26, 2013 on CBS? We’re excited to share another awesome season with you so be sure to join us from June to September. Wow, that’s going to be a lot of BB!

So please join us– while we go from insane-horrible singing auditions to soaring, star-making end. AI is gonna be VERY interesting this year with catty antics from judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj to drool-enducing Keith Urban.

It’s gonna…uh…ROCK!!

You know me, I’m pulling NO punches as we journey with these young hopefuls on their way to stardom.

Come on, ya’ll!! Let’s have some winter fun together!!

With the news that CBS had renewed Big Brother for its 15th season starting next July we knew the applications and casting would soon be rolling out and sure enough it’s all there for you now. The deadline to apply is May 11, 2013 so you’ve got a lot of time but why wait? Submit your BB15 application now and be ready to get that call.

If you are brave enough to apply then tell us why you should be a houseguest on the new season and why you think you’ll win it all. Best of luck to everyone who applies!

I don’t mean Ian winning Big Brother 14.. Although I know that most of us are just thrilled about that! Of the two, Dan and Ian–though Dan played a phenomenal game in some ways–It just goes to show you can’t treat people the way Dan did, and expect to be rewarded. Sure, he won $50,000.. I mean, that is an amount of money that none of us would sneeze at. Still, I think in Dan’s eyes…It’s a loss. He wanted to win. Period. End of Story. And now– he’s going to have to deal with the fallout that’s sure to follow.

I’m not one of those people who thinks the game should follow people into their lives. It’s a GAME, people. And it’s over. And…..in the end, evil….Even Evil GENIUS…did not win out. Let’s let go of the anger and disgust. The man will have enough of that, and he did make this season a heck of a lot of fun to watch. You gotta give him that.

So—CONGRATULATIONS IAN!!!! You’ve come a long way, baby!!

Our wee Ian started out like this…a kid.

and ended up like this, a handsome young man.

I’m happy for the little guy and wish him all the luck in the world! GO IAN!!!

PS- It was pretty clear who was gonna win, since every time Julie started to pull a vote for Ian, you could see Britney and Shane cheering in the background. Poor Dan only got one…Danielle’s… Awww…

BUT—when I said we did it.. I meant… OUR FRANK WON AMERICA’S FAVORITE!!!

Say what you will, but I know.. I KNOW…we all had something to do with that!! Lots of other websites couldn’t stand Frank. And if a commenter dared post a pro-Frank comment–they were lambasted. But not us, guys.. we saw the merit in his play. We agonized for him. And it looks like so did a lot of other folks. So let’s give our guy a final ovation..

YAYYYYY FRANK!! WE HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK SOON ON ALL-STARS!!

It was a fantastic Finale, wasn’t it? There were so many great parts, I have a hard time choosing my favorite. I GUESS if I’m pressed, I’d have to pick the moment where we got to see the look on Danielle’s face when Ian revealed that Dan had given Ian his grandfather’s gold necklace as collateral he’d take him to Final 2. That. Was. Priceless.

Don’t have a pic of it yet- but it looked a little something like this…

;

So.. For the last and final time this season, I want to say THANK YOU!!!!!! To the best, the coolest, the sharpest, most astute, rocking, KICK-ASS Big Brother Fans in the GALAXY!!! The Bigbigbrother.com Readers!!! You Guys ARE my Big Brother and I can’t wait to hang out with you next year!

For now- let’s eavesdrop on our families-(and see if they still remember us.. ) I hate to say goodbye, so I will only say… FAREWELL!!

PS– Here’s MY dream-team for All-Stars!

(And shhh- just from the interview Jeff did with Frank–it sounded like it wouldn’t be comPLETEly out of the range of possibility…Hmmm…)

We’ve endured a lot of seasons in which long periods of time pass, where you wanted to rip your eyeballs out, at the level of inactivity, the lack of gaming. That didn’t happen this year. This season was all game. All the time. And for that I say…Thank you BB14 players.

The reason this game is so different from any other reality show on TV, is the level of OUR–the viewer’s–participation. In no other show, do we have the unprecedented level of access, through the Superpass Live Feeds. It’s  virtually impossible to spy on people in every aspect of their lives, and not get a very accurate glimpse of their true characters. Fans who watch only the CBS show, learn only what the producers and the network want to reveal. They skew events and conversations into what they WANT you to think.

We FEED VIEWERS know the truth. We SEE them. And we report it to the rest of you.

Tonight we say goodbye to a truly epic season. A season which drew out a level of emotion from the viewers we haven’t seen in some time. Our emotions ranged hard between love and hate, disgust and admiration. It will be hard to let go. As the BB HG’s go back to their own lives, so do we all. Again, hard to say goodbye.

As for the winner, I think most of America hopes for a Dan/Ian Final Two. The Dan fans vs Camp Ian will be waving their flags high in the air tonight, as we watch the uber-smooth Coach try to pull in votes with a practiced, timed speech. That in itself may be his downfall. If the Jury feels like they’re watching “THE FUNERAL 2.0″ it may turn them off, in favor of a blushing, realistic plea from the nervous nerd.

I know I speak for all of us when I say…..ANYONE BUT DANIELLE… And we’re all waiting for the moment when the noxious nurse ‘gets to steppin’ to take her place in the jury. As to her tainting abilities…..THAT should be a hoot.

And now we say goodbye. Again, I want to express how much fun I’ve had with you all this season. Without you, this site would be nothing! I hope you’ll join Auntie Janet again same place, same time next year…You are my Big Brother Heroes!

For the last time- I give you a FEED VIEWERS look at your FINAL THREE….and their true characters…
