the four won't be coaches though. It just wouldn't make sense knowing how the coaches twist worked last time. I'm guessing they're pitched as "second chance" entrants (or 3rd chance for Nicole).

Grodner: Welcome to the craziest summer vacation ever. That's what we're calling this season. It's more than just a house theme. This is all part of the twist that's going to unfold over the summer. Twists, plural, actually. A few of them will be announced on opening night, and many more to come. Here you are in the living room which is the terminal of an airport. That board is the departure board and you will see on opening night what we got there. It has meaning.

Are the chairs against the wall extra? Those aren't there every season.

Grodner: Those are all new.

Are they twist-related?

Grodner: They're just part of the feel of being in an airport. It's a high-end airport terminal. Everyone is going to arrive and depart in this room. We're going to have some fun with that. There's a lot of fun to be had with this theme. The twists are all themed into what we did with the house this year. You could walk around and pin point all the memories.

Grodner: We have the craziest Have Not room you've ever seen.

Meehan: You're not going to want to be a Have Not. It's going to be pretty miserable.

Grodner: But another sort of summer destination.

Will you tell the houseguests that it says alliance and eviction on the wall in here? Grodner: No, no. Maybe they'll figure it out, maybe someone actually speaks Japanese. We have quite a diverse cast this year. Really diverse.This is that pop, Tokyo, fun, probably the more female room.

Grodner: Here we have a phone booth and you open it up and it goes to the next room. It's a working phone. The Head of Household will be able to call down. That's a first and it's a first to have this kind of door way.

Grodner: The backyard is completely different. You can the national parks theme going on here. There's Yosemite. . .

Meehan: This is our big change to the house this year.

Grodner: We haven't done this before, we've sort of brought out the sitting area. And it's a brand new pool![/quote

[quote]Meehan: Yeah it's like five and three [inches] something like that. But the cool part we did for our challenges this year is that we built this step down so we can easily cover the pool and now we can utilize the whole yard when we build our challenges. We used to have to work around the pool and Jacuzzi, now we can actually utilize the entire space.

Grodner: It does get hot, but we will be putting some more shade in here because it's ridiculous. This isn't even a hot day. . .

Meehan: This is actually one of the more breezy days you'll ever experience back here. With these high walls,usually there's no wind and it increases the temperature. We're going with a lot of cross fit gym equipment. We're revamping all of the equipment this year. From boxes for box jumps, ropes, we're going to have a set of spinning cycles out here. We're going to totally update all of the exercise equipment. With cross fit being such a craze right now, it will be fun for them.

Does the shower door get lower every year?

Grodner: No (laughs). I think that's just a tall person. Tall women don't fare well in there.

I'm way too tall to get in there.

Meehan: Those doors do look lower. Those doors do look lower, Allison.

Grodner: Do they really?

Meehan: Yeah, I think they're new.

Grodner: Maybe it's a crazy joke.

Meehan: We're going to have to do a test in there.

Grodner: During rehearsals, yes.

Grodner: And we have a phone booth up here, another phone so you see there's some communication thing going on here. You never know what a phone booth up here can do.

Meehan: Only time will tell.

I'm trying to read your faces to find out.

Meehan: (Laughs) Only time will tell!

Grodner: Did you figure it out now? (Laughs).

Is "Battle of the Block" coming back?

Grodner: No.

Oh, it's not?

Meehan: No battle of the block!

Grodner: A new, Sunday competition is coming into play that will ----

Meehan: Twist up the game! It's going to be fun, something we've never done before.

Grodner: Who knows though maybe sometime in the future it will come back.

Meehan: We need to keep the stakes high in the Sunday show because we didn't want to go back to Have Not competitions.

Grodner: You want competitions that have stakes, that really mean something. This new competition really does that. So the nominations falls somewhere in the middle and then this competition and then, you'll see.

Meehan: A new ceremony at the end.

Grodner: A new ceremony!
