Big Brother 9: Early Rumors

Want to meet this season's houseguests? Read our article, "House Guests Revealed, with Pictures"

Big Brother 9 is only a few weeks away from its first ever Spring premiere and we still know almost nothing about the season. It's not an all-star season, it might only be six weeks...there's a lot of "mights" involved. Truth is, we know nothing. And, since we know nothing we have to search out the rumors pervading the internets and make due with those. Because, as Big Brother fans, we have to discuss something, right? Below you will find some of the newest Big Brother 9 rumors, plus some that have been around for awhile.

Though I would absolutely love a celeb edition (just to see what kind of no-name hacks they could get willing to sign away three months of their lives), the clear choice is no links between players. It goes against the basic concept of the show, which is to see what happens when all these different people come together. Also, while I agree that it gave the Donatos an advantage, I would DISAGREE that it didn't work out the way producers wanted. The producers knew the father-daughter antics were the main selling point, and they certainly wanted the Donatos to both stay in the house as long as possible.

There is a celebrity edition, it's called The Surreal Life and it's terrible. Stay with the normal people. The should do after dark again and just cast really !@#!@ty girls. I think they TRIED that by casting a Hooters waitress, a sorority girl and a bikini model... but all three girls turned out to be decently respectable people (or extremely respectable for Jessica). Seriously though a question on the application should be "Do you like just getting randomly naked?" lol. Surefire ratings. As for the links between players, Dick and Daniele were defintiely my most hated HouseGuests, which made for a terrible season, but if they did EVRYONE with a partner like they did before again, i think that would be cool. Finally, America's Player was retarded and destroyed Eric's game. He would've easily won if he was not screwed constantly by idiotic voting.

I would like to see more secret missions. I find it entertaining when someone has to do a secret task, they were fun. Also avoid the Dicks. Specifically I mean avoid the people who are willing to lower themselves to the level Dick portrayed on TV. That was extremely uncomfortable to watch and ruined my interest in the show that season. My worry is that with people seeing how successful Dick was, they want to copy it. You know, Monkey See, Monkey Do.

Not only would I be thrilled about the no previous ties part, but I'd love to see them pick POV players again. It led to brilliant plans in the past, and I've missed getting to see that.

Good point Gina. Nakomis' Six-Finger Plan in s5 was one of the most absolute brilliant pieces of reality show strategy ever. Not overly clever or sinister, she just looked at the numbers are thought: "There is not even the slightest possibility that this could fail." Bring back devious game play and forget about stupid emotional baggage drama.

They need to shake up the way vetos go down, it's getting WAY too repetitive with the backdoor. I'd like to see veto competitions set up so that there isn't always a winner. Or maybe if the veto is used then America gets to pick the replacement nominee? Just a few thoughts...

Anything that adds more strategic game play to the mix is something I'm all for.

Anything that makes them do more than just lay around all day is something I'm all for ...

I would like to see the houseguest subjected to a demerit system.... with demerits given out for singing...... eatting, not getting out of bed by a certain time, etc...
