Big Brother 6 USA was to be shown on E4 after BB6 uk finishes but apparntly it has been dropped.

The theme for this year's US Big Brother will be the 'Summer of Secrets,' exec producer Arnold Shapiro has revealed.

A new two-storey house has been for the sixth season, which begins next Thursday (July 7) on the CBS network.

"This season we have what we are calling 'The Summer of Secrets' meaning that because it is a brand new house there will be multiple secrets uncovered throughout the summer that the HouseGuests will find," Shapiro told Jam! Showbiz. "We were able to do that because we have a brand new setting."

He went on to reveal that this year there would be fourteen initial HouseGuests, a record number.

"There are secrets that will be revealed which will impact this cast in a different way than other casts have been impacted. The same could be said of the X Factor and last year's DNA theme," Shapiro added.

"I think it is one of the very best casts we have ever had based on looking at them as an entire group of 14 and as distinct individuals and what they have going for themselves. It will be much clearer to you when they are in the house and the secrets start being revealed. It is very possible that the configuration of this cast may also lead to the uncovering of some secrets. You never know."
