Come Back Next Summer For Big Brother 16
"I can't believe we're
on CBS, CBS is supposed to be too good for this." -Amy Crews
Our Other Brother is On! Big Brother Canada Has Begun!
The second season of
Big Brother started on March 5th! Last year's inaugural season was
excellent, I liked it better than BBUSA, it seemed faster paced and the HGs
were way better. This year they're getting a brand new house because
they lost the lease on the building the first the first house was built in,
but still they just keep re-painting the old CBS house, but I digress...
It's not as easy to watch Big Brother Canada in the USA as we would
hope. The feeds are "geo-blocked," but we expect to have a fairly
simple solution for that, and the feeds are Free! The show airs in
Canada on the Slice Channel, here in the lower 48, you have to wait until
the next day to see it on line. I still feel it's worth the extra effort,
and I have a completely separate
Big Brother Canada page for daily coverage, just like BBUSA.

Podcast: Rachel and Brendon compare 'Big Brother' and 'Amazing
Race' February 24, 2014 By Dalton Ross @
Entertainment Weekly Inside TV
I don’t know if there will be any life vests on this season of The
Amazing Race, but if so, floaters better grab them. That’s because
reality royalty returns tonight when husband-and-wife team Brendon Villegas
and Rachel Reilly take their second tour on The Amazing Race when
season 24 of the reality show premieres on CBS. But how does racing around
the world at breakneck speed compare with backstabbing house guests in the
backyard on the show that first made Brenchel famous, Big Brother? We
asked the couple when they called into Entertainment Weekly Radio (SiriusXM,
channel 105).

Big Brother 16
Casting Open Calls Posted February 16, 2014
Robyn Kass's web site (she's the Big Brother casting director),
bigbrothercasting.tv has started
to post dates and locations for open auditions for Big Brother 16.
So far there are two locations:
HENDERSON, NV
Saturday, February 22, 2014 [ 11am-3pm]
COURTESY IMPORTS - Valley Auto Mall
260 N. Gibson Rd., Henderson, NV 89014
SAVANNAH, GA
(3) Day Event - Feb 21, 22 & 23, 2014
SAVANNAH INTERNATIONAL TRADE & CONVENTION CENTER
1 International Drive. Savannah, GA 31421
Be sure keeping checking her site for dates and locations. Want
some tips on what she's looking for, check out this video, featuring
Big Brother 16 an All-Stars Season?
February 13, 2014 According to multiple reports,
Big Brother 16 will NOT be an All-Star edition. These "reports" on other
web sites are not based on any official word from CBS, just an assumption
that since Robyn Kass is auditioning new houseguests, there will not be any
former HGs in the house. The assumption is very plausible as in the
last few seasons there were very few "stars" that the viewers would want to
see again, and favorites from early seasons, like Dr. Will have moved on.
However, the final decision is made by CBS, and after BB14 was cast, CBS
felt the cast needed for be fortified with some former "Stars."
Last season had very good ratings despite (or perhaps because of) all the
controversy, so you never know what they're doing until the show begins.
This season's theme could be: "Boobs, Bigots and Bedlam."
'Big Brother’ GinaMarie tweets ‘it just hurts’ over Nick Uhas YouTube video

On Feb. 11, 2014, GinaMarie Zimmerman, who was the second-place winner on the CBS reality show, tweeted her feelings were hurt after viewing a Reality TV Awards YouTube video that appears to be mocking her adoration of ex-fellow house guest, Nick Uhas, who also appears in the clip.

the casting process with you.
Know the show you’re auditioning for before you make the tape. Make

HGs that aren't you're average "super-fans" in the hopes they'll bring
in a fresh perspective on playing the game, however you show still watch
a few seasons from The Big Brother Archive so you know what you're
getting yourself into, it can get pretty hardcore. -Morty]

No need to offer special advice or ideas on how you’d improve the
show.
Don’t use these clichés:
I will boost your ratings.
I can be the sweetest girl, but then I can be the biggest bitch.

Kara Monaco, Joe Arvin, Shane Meaney, Adam Poch, Michelle Costa, and Michael

Former
Big Brother Contestant Says Cast Should Take Responsibility For
Controversial Season [October 10, 2013] by staff @ 10tv.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio - A former contestant on the CBS reality show Big Brother
says some of his former cast mates should offer apologies for a season
plagued by controversial race comments.
"If they really want to give themselves a moral boost, they will go out of
their way and make it public through an apology," said Columbus native Nick
Uhas. "Or they can own it and say, 'This is what I said, and it made such a
huge commotion in the media, I can now say this is actually a problem in the
United States.' They can address it now because people are watching and that
would be the most responsible way to do it."
Uhas, who grew up in Hilliard and graduated from the Ohio State University,
was voted out of the Big Brother house at the end of the second week.
Despite his short time in the house, he says his social media following has
grown rapidly despite the controversial season.

talks like a racist ... but she insists it doesn't make her one.
Gries tells TMZ she's been making racial jokes for years ... but had no idea
they were offensive because "no one had expressed that I was taken that
way."
Gries says she wishes someone had warned her before going into the BB house
... that making these "jokes" on national TV would paint her as a big ol'
racist.
"I am not a racist," she says, adding, "Sometimes you can say mindless
things that will haunt you."

Douglas County High School in Castle Rock, Colorado. Her prom date --
clearly visible in the photo -- is Mike Miller. Mike -- who is BLACK -- was
a starting tight end on the football team.
Mike tells TMZ Aaryn -- whom he dated for a few months -- makes bad jokes
sometimes, but not "prejudiced or hateful." He calls her sense of humor
"smart-ass."

What's Aaryn Gries been up to since leaving Big Brother 15? She has
definitely been keeping busy, and this weekend she's raising some eyebrows.
Many saw this coming thanks to Twitter banter, but as of Aaryn's Instagram
updates on Friday, it's clear it has actually happened: Aaryn and Survivor
star Russell Hantz are together. They may just be friends, but they are very
cozy friends according to Gries' latest Instagram picture.

We were in shock last month when Big Brother fan favorite Britney Haynes
Godwin of BB12 and BB14, announced that her daughter Tilly was diagnosed
with cancer. Little Tilly, born in mid-July, wasn't even 2 months old.
Big Brother fans immediately reached out with prayers and support.
Britney thanked fans and promised to update on Tilly's status through blog
posts. At this point, she's shared
two blogs on Together for Tilly, one on September 27 and the second on
October 2, with the second including an address for fans to send cards and

Bobby Fischer at the gossip web site, Celeb Dirty Laundry reports that
Amanda is presently in Minnesota meeting and getting to know McCrae’s family
and then the two love birds are heading to Florida to meet with her family.
It is obvious that McCranda is going strong despite all the haters out there
who said that they wouldn’t last; like Big Brother 15 winner Andy Herren who
even said the couple was doomed.
In Florida, it is only a matter of time before Amanda’s father, Robert
Zuckerman, takes Amanda and McCrae to see the rabbi and prepare to make the

Interview With Amanda Zuckerman September 23, 2013 By: Ann Turner @ bigbrotheraccess.com Conspiracy theories ran rampant right up until the
night of her eviction that Big Brother 15 cast member Amanda Zuckerman had
been hand-picked by CBS producers to win the show this season. Then,
abruptly, she was gone and all those conspiracies came crashing down. Well,
except for those who think Amanda became such a strongly disliked player,
production was just forced to give up the whole idea of trying to push her
as the winner this year.

GinaMarie Zimmerman and Spencer Clawson September 23,
2013 By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski @ realitytvworld.com
Big Brother host Julie Chen has explained why she didn't press GinaMarie
Zimmerman and Spencer Clawson for more answers during the finale regarding the
show's most controversial season yet.
Many of the fifteenth season's
houseguests were caught making racial, homophobic and sexist slurs on Big
Brother's 24/7 live-feed. One of the most outspoken contestants happened to
be Aaryn Gries, whom Chen reprimanded and grilled earlier in the season after
her eviction.
Given Zimmerman was fired from her job as a pageant coordinator for also making
offensive comments -- such as referring to welfare as "n**ger insurance" --
viewers wondered why Chen arguably let her off the hook after she finished as
the season's runner-up behind winner Andy Herren during the show's finale last
week.

Post-Big Brother Survival Guide
September 24, 2013 by Dr. Ragan Fox @ raganfox.wordpress.com
Here are 10 things I wish I would have known after the season finale:
Post-Traumatic Stress. Feel disoriented? Overwhelmed by crowds? Forget what
you’re saying in the middle of a sentence? That disorientation is part of the
post-show experience and will get better as the year progresses.
One year is the new 15 minutes. The sweet, blinding aura of pseudo fame will
last for about a year, less if you live in a major city like Los Angeles or New
York. Big Brother notoriety’s like Velveeta. It’s cheesy, delicious, and has an
expiration date. Enjoy it before it curdles.

Gries: 'We all make mistakes' Big Brother' cast member asks for forgiveness for slurs made on the
reality show.
September 21, 2013 By Greg Braxton @ Los Angeles Times
With the curtain drawn on the most controversial edition of CBS' reality
show "Big Brother," cast member Aaryn Gries, whose ethnic and
homophobic slurs made national headlines, is bracing herself to face a new
reality — that many people feel she's a racist.
But the 23-year-old college student from San Marcos, Texas, who was unaware
of the tempest her remarks created until emerging from the show's imposed
isolation earlier this week, is determined to reverse that perception.
"I'm trying to show that I'm remorseful, and I hope that comes across
because I really do feel very bad," she said in an interview with The Times.
"If I don't move forward, I will be stuck in this, and it will eat me alive.
I can't treat this experience as a negative. I have to take it as a positive
because it's made me a better person."

Aaryn Gries I'm Working Out My Racist Demons by TMZ Staff
"Big Brother" contestant Aaryn Gries is finally coming clean,
admitting she talks like a racist ... but she insists it doesn't make her
one.
Gries tells TMZ she's been making racial jokes for years ... but had no idea
they were offensive because "no one had expressed that I was taken that
way."
Gries says she wishes someone had warned her before going into the BB house
... that making these "jokes" on national TV would paint her as a big ol'
racist.
"I am not a racist," she says, adding, "Sometimes you can say mindless
things that will haunt you."

The Whole
Statement from GinaMarie Zimmerman's Former Employer:
During the backyard interviews, a reporter read part of a statement from
GinaMarie's former employer. Although this is old news, most fans never
heard the complete statement issued by Lauren Handler, East Coast USA
Pageant's national director and CEO:
“
After watching the live feed from the current season of CBS’s Big Brother we
have been left in disbelief and shock that GinaMarie Zimmerman our employee
for the past five years. could display such acts of hate and racism. The East
Coast USA Pageant is an outlet for girls and women to gain self-confidence,
announce their platform and most importantly celebrate who they are. We
believe and teach our contestants that beauty comes from within. We
celebrate the diversity of our participants as all ethnicities are
beautiful. We have never known this side of GinaMarie or have ever witnessed
such acts of racism in the past.
We are actually thankful that this show let us see GinaMarie for who she
truly is as we would never want her to be a role model to our future
contestants. It is unfortunate that her hateful words were able to be
witnessed by so many thousands of Big Brother fans as they were rightfully
so deeply offended. We are unable to contact her at this time but when she
returns from the Big Brother house we will be terminating her employment for
her unforgivable behavior. In a business where we are surrounded by beauty
every day we are saddened to see something so ugly come from someone we put
on a very high pedestal.

'Big Brother' Stars to Appear on 'The Bold and the Beautiful'
By Sami K.
Martin @ Christian Post
"Big Brother 15" star Howard Overby was evicted from the Big Brother house
weeks ago but has landed a guest-starring role on his mother's favorite
show, "The Bold and the Beautiful," which has made him incredibly happy.
Several other "Big Brother" stars will drop in for the special episodes
airing in late October.
"This is so exciting! A blessing!" Overby told TV Guide. "I got a call out
of the blue from 'The Bold and the Beautiful' asking if I'd like to appear
on the show. I said yes without knowing any of the particulars because I was
raised in a house with a lot of females – my mom, my grandma and two older
sisters – and everyone watched the CBS soaps."

Brother’s Kaitlin Barnaby & Jeremy McGuire Break Up — Exclusive
by richard@rumorfix.com
During the taping of Big Brother, Kaitlin Barnaby and Jeremy McGuire were
accused of having a showmance — a romance just for the show.
And RumorFix has learned that may be true.
The former couple was at a Wrap Party for Big Brother at Eleven Nightclub in
West Hollywood and an eyewitness tells us “Jeremy said he’s not with Kaitlin
anymore. They live in two separate states. It was just a showmance.”
They both were at the event, but an insider says they weren’t talking to
each other all night.
They were joined by Judd Daugherty, David Girton, Elissa Slater and her
sister, Big Brother All Star Rachel Reilly, who hosted the party.
