Big Brother 15 Rumors and Speculation Thread
 
Alright, so we have a few facts and rumors, but no real thread to put them in. So let's start with the facts. Most of the rumors have been talked about on other BB forums.

Facts:
-Premiere Date is June 26, 2013
-100 day season
-Julie has stated most HGs ever on The Talk
-Live Feed has moved to cbs.com
-BBAD has moved to TV Guide Network
-Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday Schedule
-Media Day is on June 10

Rumors:
-3 nominees a week
-the key box only has spaces for 13 keys(suggest intruders)
-BB15 in HD(has this been confirmed yet?)
-100% new cast
-HGs with pre-existing relationships

I honestly am really glad that the rumors are suggesting a 100% new cast.

What do you guys think about some of these rumors. I really hope that the 3 nominee rumor is true, because that could make some of the votes really close and make it easier for small alliances to get somebody evicted.

i'm really excited for this season

Donovan. 01-06-2013 10:59 PM

Me too. Only 25 days to go now!

Im kinda a sucker for pre existing relationships in BBUS ( a la BB6, Enemy Twist in BB8). however did not care for the BB9 pre existing relationships

Donovan. 02-06-2013 01:13 AM

Yeah, they usually cause a good bit of tension and conflict.

Couldn't help it.

Anyway, this series sounds wonderful!

about the preexisting thing according to two semifinalists that are on Survivor sucks.com. It sounds like Ex Factor 2 (BB4 was Ex Factor 1, where 5 of the first 8 hgs to enter found out that their ex would be entering the house and playing the game with them.)

I'd be happy with a completely new cast. Returning players can be fun to watch, but I prefer a season to stick with either new contestants or all-stars

kingston 04-06-2013 04:47 AM

The key box has always had enough slots for all HG's, despite not all of them being used in the nomination ceremony... "Intruders" will NEVER happen...

I doubt there will ever be more than two nominees per week unless HG's are once again paired with other HG's or there is a major fundamental change in the way the game is played...

Donovan. 05-06-2013 01:21 AM

Tbh, intruders already happened with the coaches last year. The only difference between the two is that the coaches had 4 weeks to acquaint themselves with the other HGs, giving them a greater advantage than intruders would get.

That was a completely different situation as the coaches were in the house from the beginning and the "re-set" was sort of forced upon them... Unless Grodner has had a complete change in her way of thinking they are unlikely... She's been pretty vocal about things like this in the past and she doesn't see the value in it... This twist was tried in BB1 and it failed...

BBfanUSA 05-06-2013 01:44 AM

There's going to be a photo booth in the house where HGs can take actual pics and they'll be uploaded to CBS.com but we'll have to unlock photos.

Meaning the house is probably Carnival/Amusement Parked themed.

actually, it failed because no one took the bribe. So we don't know how the intruder would've done.

If we do get intruders I'll welcome them with open arms but just as long they face some trial before becoming eligible for the grand prize (IE facing a house vote to become a hg, Public vote, Competition)

I'm not expecting it though (Or else they would've sent someone in for Scott and Justin for when they got ejected or another vet to replace Dick) of course CBS could say "We Want Intruders" and I think Allison Grodbeast and Rich Meehan (The 2nd in Command Executive producer) would probably do it.

Also the launch has been moved to 8:00 to 9:00 PM ET on June 26th. In fact all Wednesday eps will be at 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM ET

Donovan. 05-06-2013 02:23 AM

Carnival/Amusement Park theme could look really nice.
Also, the Wednesday time has been shifted up an hour and will now be airing at 8.

Donovan. 05-06-2013 02:23 AM

^^Oh haha, I'm too slow with news.

I understand that, what I was getting at is that the original intruder twist was not well received in general... The fans really never warmed to the idea of someone new coming in late in the season, in fact the idea was so disliked that fans took to yelling over the fence to warn HG's of the upcoming twist...

They can just barely accept the fact that evicted HG's are some times given a second chance let alone someone completely new... Just look at the backlash BBCA got for allowing Gary back in to the final 4...

I'm someone who thinks BBUS could benefit from venturing out of the generally accepted "rules" that BBUS lives by, but TBH I really don't see a point bringing an intruder in just for the sake of it... As in other versions they barely stand a shot at winning...

BBfanUSA 05-06-2013 02:45 AM

Well a Global article claims there's 16 hgs playing the game for 100 days

Donovan. 05-06-2013 02:46 AM

Julie Chen has lied to us!:joker:

Macie Lightfoot 05-06-2013 02:48 AM

They said last year it was more than ever and it was 16 so this isn't a surprise.

It's not as if Global know anything about the CBS version...

Donovan. 05-06-2013 03:03 AM

Doesn't Global air BBUS in Canada?
And Julie/CBS have lied before, so sorry if I jump to conclusions.

They do, however they aren't connected to production... They only hold the rights to air BBUS in Canada and they are treated just the same as any other media outlet... There is absolutely no way they would know at this point how many HG's will enter the house on launch night... As illustrated in previous series selection/numbers can change right up until the last minute...

Don't k ow how I feel about Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday. That's way too long between show from Wednesday. I wanted Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday.

I know I'll miss watching Big Bang Theory Reruns leading into BB. But at least it's on Tuesday again. I would rather have this schedule than having to wait a day to see evictions.

Also in case you haven't read the Feeds Info thread, After Dark (A late night Live Feed look-in) is being moved to TV Guide Network from Sho2. BB now has a bigger reach. An Hour has been taken away though :( But nothing will change there should be limited commercial interruption and the first week will have the feeds run commercial free.

lostalex 07-06-2013 02:50 AM

I preferred the old Tuesday Thursday Sunday schedule. It felt more balanced. Having 3 days in a row of no BB sucks.
