Also if there was old houseguests returning to "mentor", i can't see Janelle doing it, since she now has a baby..

[Donovan.]

Anyway as much as I used to think that the public needed to have a bigger role in evictions I've kind of backed off that idea now. Tbh they probably would just get rid of the big characters. So I hope that's not it, because big characters carry the show.
The 4 big surprises really got me excited, hopefully one of the surprises is a change to the game rules or something. I remember the rules used to be tweaked each summer for the first seven seasons. The last being in BB7 when they made the veto player selection random.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Characters you love and Character you loved to hate.... sounds like returning houseguests to me

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Maybe Fans Vs Favourites season

[Donovan.]

Hopefully it's not a crappy season long twist like last year. I hope it's just 14 HGs on launch night and new HGs somewhere down the line. My hope for the 4 surprises are:
1. New layout
2. New game rules/rule changes
3. New HGs
4. Don't really know what the last could be

[BBfanUSA]

Is this The Talk's day in the house or another media day.

@SpoilBigBrother has some interesting tweets.
"@SpoilBigBrother: Voice talents testing for #BB14 production. Will #BigBrother finally have a bigger vocal presence & personality like his #BBUK counterpart?"
That sounds interesting maybe they'll finally make big brother more of an entity around the house.

I posted that earlier

[Donovan.]

I know. I had to look for that specific tweet because I didn't know what VA was and since I found it I thought I'd just quote it.

[Marc]

hurry up 3rd july

[BBfanUSA]

2nd of July actually.

[Marc]

Ohh.. well The 3rd will be exciting as well then

[BBfanUSA]

Also Saw this. This is what someone thinks about the surprises on RealityBBQ named TheBigBrotherFan

Surprise 1 - 20 Houseguests in all: 16 BRAND NEW houseguests, with no ties whatsoever - 4 Returning HG's who will act as "mentors" to the newbies and coach them to be BB superstars -but CAN'T WIN and CAN'T be EVICTED (They'll leave at a certain point) these people will be 4 of the best players in BB history and should be voted on by the fans. They wil each have a team of 4 people of their choice. They will win money or prizes based on their teams performance in competitons. (My God it sounds like X Factor)

Surprise 2 - Updated house with more rooms
Surprise 3 - 1 MILLION DOLLAR GRAND PRIZE
Surprise 4 - Some new food competiton, have nots will be axed I have a feeling.

[Marc]

New house? Returning HG but them not being able to win

Surely it'll be Will, Janelle, Nakomis, Rachel?

[BBfanUSA]

There's more houseguests and the requirements for the LF this year are the highest yet and the fact that the resolution is 1280x720 makes me thing they're installing HD cams.

So the possibility of a new house is likely just because there's HD cameras they have to install so they're giving the house a facelift.

[Donovan.]

I hope that when they reveal the surprises they tell us that they are surprises because I'm so oblivious that they could happen and I wouldn't notice.

[BBfanUSA]

I could imagine one of the commercials saying

The most hgs ever
$1 million
HD cameras
Brand New House

and those aren't the surprises.

[reece(:]

where's it confirmed there'll be 15-16 HGS?

[BBfanUSA]

There commercials says that this year will have the most hgs EVER. Meaning 17 or more since BB9 started with 16. We're just speculating how many hgs will be on the show this year

[BBfanUSA]

Also Spoilbigbrother says that the hgs are being contacted now and they're all newbies...so far.

[reece(:]

I don't see how it'll work with over 16 HGs due to the time and show restrictions

[BBfanUSA]

Maybe they've changed the schedule this year. Maybe it's longer or there's going to be a super eviction where 18 becomes 12 via public vote.

I hope not. I think that they can come up with something a little more creative. Not just one massive eviction. I would hope it would be a couple of extra double evictions, new HGs, mentors, power couple twist, just anything besides one huge eviction.
Also if that one mentor/team twist was true, would those returning mentors be considered HGs even though they can't win? And that's what makes me think that wouldn't be the twist because the mentors wouldn't be HGs. But who knows, I'm basing this all on semantics.
