re: Big Brother 19 - Season Long Thread

Probably littered with people from CBS owned shows right?

Who's this damn crowd. F these plants... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Haven't watched yet. Catching up through this thread and had to reply already......You're saying Raven walked out to no BOOOOs?? Outrageous they don't let the crowd boo. That is true sentiment of what is felt and people WANT to hear that. Unless this is a TV watcher crowd only and really are that blind to what's really happening here! Absurd!

From Jason's interview:

quote:

---

Jason- He (Paul) deserves to be turned loose in an arena with a bunch of fighting bulls so he can see what it feels like #BB19

---

Let the bitter jury begin

quote:

---

Jason- "Who will you keep in contact with after this season ends?". Probably Kevin, Paul...and that's it. Kevin and Paul #BB19

---

quote:

---

Jason- I think it's going to be Alex (leaving next) unless she won, then it's going to be Raven to keep the lie alive #BB19

---

I don't care who's in the final two at this point. Only thing to look forward to is the pathetic final speeches we get to hear about how they played the best game and deserved to win. Will be painful actually.

Is anyone going to try out for BB20?

What is the BB Revenger trailer about?

what is this about?

Just catching the episode. Nice to see a legit blindside and Raven leaving

And Raven had shite on her teeth

'Big Brother' Team Reveals Celebrity Winter Edition (Exclusive)
"It's not going to be all Oscar winners," host Julie Chen tells THR about the upcoming challenges of casting the newest version of the series.

"It's not going to be all Oscar winners," host Julie Chen tells THR about the upcoming challenges of casting the newest version of the series.
The stars are aligned for a special edition of Big Brother.

The CBS summer flagship will air a celebrity spin-off of the series in winter 2018.

The new version of the show will air on the network and will feature multiple episodes per week during a concentrated run—including the signature Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions and live evictions. In addition, CBS All Access will again invite viewers inside the Big Brother house for an unfiltered look at its cast with the 24/7 live feed.

Julie Chen will host the celebrity edition, which is an addition to Big Brother’s milestone 20th season that will air in summer 2018.

The news comes on the heels of the show’s 19th season averaging 7.35 million viewers per episode with all three showings ranking among summer's top 5 broadcasts among adults 18-49. It's also reached its highest ratings since season 13 in 2011 while the digital engagement is up year over year.

The anomaly of what the series has been able to maintain (becoming a live streaming event and airing three episodes a week ) since its inception in 2000 is what pushed the network’s hand into dipping into the celebrity genre that has appeared over the years on other networks.

Chen tells The Hollywood Reporter about her initial conversation with husband and CEO of CBS, Leslie Moonves, “He said, “You and your show are single-handedly keeping this network afloat during the summer. You’re keeping this network running.'"

Adding, "If you know one thing about my husband, it has to make economic sense. They crunched the numbers and said, ‘Based on the following we have, we can do it and make it work and make it profitable.’”

Says CBS Entertainment president, Kelly Kahl, "Big Brother has been a ratings winner since its premiere in 2000, and keeps going strong with a passionate fan base across multiple platforms, on-air, online and on social."

The network’s recent summer offerings over the years including the freshman series Candy Crush hosted by Mario Lopez haven’t been able to make the same footing as the long-time reality competition.

This isn’t the first time the network has utilized the success of the franchise to expand into other properties. Most recently, its all-online version of the show, Big Brother Over the Top, was the premier series for CBS All Access and in 2007 Big Brother: After Dark premiered on Showtime before making its way to Pop TV in 2013. And under the Endemol Shine umbrella the series airs in over 40 countries including an already running Celebrity Big Brother in the U.K.

In previous years, the U.K. version has cast stars including Pamela Anderson, Gary Busey, Stephen Baldwin, Perez Hilton, Ivana Trump, and MTV's Spencer and Heidi Pratt. Casting is underway for the untitled CBS iteration and will be revealed at a later date.

To get all the details on the latest Big Brother expansion, THR dialed up Chen and returning executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan of Fly on the Wall Entertainment to talk about what fans can expect, casting challenges and how it impacts the show moving forward.
