Big Brother: TV Guide News

The lives of disparate housemates are captured on-camera 24/7 over a three-month period, with one person getting the boot every week (originally it was every two weeks). The last to leave wins $500,000. The intrusive Orwellian premise drew its share of critical barbs, but the series was popular enough to spawn a number of sequels.

ABC Vetoes Big Brother "Sequel" | Today's News: Our Take | 5/8/2008
ABC has passed on the chance to acquire Golden Cage, the successor to Big Brother, citing no, not highbrow tastes, but prohibitive production costs. According to the Reporter, Golden Cage — which has broadcast in the Netherlands — has strangers cohabitate in a luxurious house with one goal: to irritate the other inhabitants into submission. Last man standing gets the house. Out here, we call that "a Hamptons share." — MWM read more
Big Brother to Offer Usual Summer Lovin' | Today's News: Our Take | 3/17/2008
Despite the best efforts of the Idol juggernaut to squash the life out of the special winter edition of Big Brother, CBS will in fact serve up the usual summer cycle as well. A premiere date has not yet been set.Similarly, says the Reporter, Fox may wind up with back-to-back editions of Hell's Kitchen on its 2008 menu, having ordered a double run for this latest production cycle. Hell's returns in mid-April.What's your take? Does Big Brother risk overexposure? Might back-to-back Hell's Kitchens be overindulgent? read more
Winter Edition of Big Brother Turns Up the Heat | Today's News: Our Take | 2/6/2008
How is a special edition of Big Brother — that show about people who lay around half-naked doing nothing all summer — possibly going to work in the dead of winter? "By turning up the heat — and that's not just a publicity slogan," says Allison Grodner, exec producer of the CBS hit. "The house is usually air-conditioned, but no longer. It's going to get quite hot inside. I think you're going to see a lot more people taking off their clothes." This ninth season of BB has a big twist that's also designed to amp up the steam factor: All of the 16 houseguests (which include a "bikini barista" and a Hollywood paparazzo) are single, available and looking for love. (See the full cast here.) "Through research and compatibility testing, they've been teamed in the house with their perfect love match — their soulmate as it were — and they'll play the game as partners," Grodner says. "They'll live together, share HOH and POV wins and be evicted as a couple. This may... read more
A Sneak Peak Inside the Big Brother House | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 2/6/2008
To kick off the ninth season of Big Brother (which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 12, at 9 pm/ET), CBS invited eight members of the media to experience life in the house for 12 hours. We sent TV Guide Network's Kimberly Caldwell, cohost of Idol Tonight and Reality Chat. Here, the former American Idol finalist shares her experience. I'm not just a huge fan of Big Brother ? I'm a huge psycho fan! So when I was asked to live in the house, I was like, "Wow, OK, cool!" Then I got scared. Twelve hours? ... read more
Logo's Sordid New Series, Big Brother's Dark Side | Today's News: Our Take | 1/9/2008
Logo has greenlit a dozen episodes of Sordid Lives: The Series, based on the 1996 play and 2000 film of the same name. Slated for a fall premiere, Sordid Lives stars Bonnie Bedelia (Heart Like a Wheel), Beth Grant (No Country for Old Men), Rue McLanahan, Olivia Newton-John and Caroline Rhea — many of whom are reprising their roles from the play's previous incarnations — while Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) will reprise in several episodes his role of Brother Boy.... As it did for the previous season of the CBS series, Showtime's SHO2 will air Big Brother: After Dark, a nightly (and live) three-hour feed from inside the house. The racy fun begins Feb. 12 at midnight ET. read more
