Maybe Ollie wanted to go DL with Memphis and he was dropping hints.

How in the world does the show give away a car that they don't own?

Great season! BB learned from their mistakes and they went back to the basics that worked. No x-factor, no america's player (except that one week), diverse cast.

I knew Dan would win in a landslide but didn't think it would be unanimous. No surprise he won.

Yay for Keesha winning the 25K. I would have voted for her myself.

Giving Memphis (more) money might be the cheapest option. My guess is that he would be just as happy with $25,000 as the car.

THE 11TH EDITION OF "BIG BROTHER" TO RETURN IN SUMMER 2009

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22 - BIG BROTHER, CBS's summer stalwart reality show, will return next summer with its 11th edition.

BIG BROTHER concluded its 10th edition last Tuesday (Sept. 16) with 25-year-old Catholic school teacher Dan Gheesling winner of the top prize.

BIG BROTHER 10 averaged nearly 7 million viewers this summer, 2.4/07 in adults 18-49 and 3.0/08 in adults 25-54 and proved strong counter programming opposite the summer Olympics.

In addition, BIG BROTHER 10 used both online and mobile platforms to extend the overall show experience and created a community of fans. According to CBS Interactive analytics, BIG BROTHER 10 led all other primetime shows across the CBS Audience Network in terms of video views (clips and full episode streaming), time spent, page views and number of people visiting for the month of August. In addition, BIG BROTHER 10 featured a full 24/7 live online feed through a partnership with Real Networks. And on the mobile platform, BIG BROTHER 10 alerts and video clips were featured by CBS Mobile.

BIG BROTHER is executive produced by Emmy Award winner Allison Grodner, Rich Meehan and Scott Einziger, in association with Endemol USA Inc. Julie Chen hosts the live eviction broadcast.
I believe this is the earliest that CBS has committed to another Big Brother. I guess Julie is keeping Leslie happy in bed!

Based on the last winter edition, that's fine with me.

I think one summer edition each year is the best way to have it. The winter edition served its purpose for CBS by filling in 3 hours each week, but unless we see another crippling strike we won't be seeing another winter edition.

I would try out if I didn't have a long time steady job! And it's interesting that there are no dates in CA.

With unemployment the way it is, I wonder if these auditions will be more packed than ever with people?

We are all more than ready because it is 9 months since the last one, not 3 months.

This'll be pretty much the only thing on-air worth watching which is fine by me. Give me my 3 months of BB11 on CBS and Showtime.

Julie Chen, Les Moonves expecting
By Hanh Nguyen

April 21, 08:07 AM

Julie Chen is pregnant.

The news anchor held her belly on Tuesday's "The Early Show" on CBS and said, "It wasn't a big Sunday at the buffet table," confirming an earlier report by the New York Post that she's expecting.

This will be the first child together for Chen, 39, and her husband, CBS chief Les Moonves, 60. He has three grown children from a previous marriage.

The couple tied the knot in December 2004.

Chen, who is also host for the network's reality show "Big Brother," is due in October and will be taking maternity leave from "The Early Show," but not "Big Brother."
I wonder if this means that the live shows are out? I'm sure she wouldn't want 'real people' from seeing her preggers!

Are you guys even allowed to look directly at her? I hope they get a replacement. I know she's the only reason they keep the show around but she is the worst part of the show.

The baby's not going to look anything like her, given how much plastic surgery she has had.

She was actually pretty nice to the audience I was in last year, but she wouldn't let us touch her!
